Oh Atlanta, the town filled with weaves, drama and a whole lot of awkwardness.

Sunday's all new Real Housewives of Atlanta had its share of cringe-worthy moments between the entertaining cast.

Whether it was Apollo Nida's long overdue apology to Kenya Moore, or Mama Joyce and Todd Tucker's rocky relationship on full display, there were plenty of scenes that left us saying, ‘Thank goodness that's not us on the TV screen.' But let's be real, that's what we say almost every week after watching these addictive shows.

If you missed tonight's episode, here are the moments that left us thinking, ‘Glad that's not me.'

Bravo

1. When NeNe Leakes Doesn't Interact With Any Castmembers

As NeNe continued her Cirque du Solei gig at New York New York hotel in Las Vegas, we found it quite odd that none of the housewives were invited to the fabulous city to support their friend. We get some are feuding. But since when does Bravo pass on the opportunities to have their stars film in Sin City?

2. When Celebrities Not on the Show Are Mentioned Without Permission

Whether it's Kenya's best friend imitating Iyanla Vanzant or Porsha Williams being compared to Laila Ali, celebs better be prepared for their name to be brought up even if they have no association with the show.

Our favorite line came from Phaedra when she described the type of men she wants her boys to become.  "As a parent, it is my job to protect my boys to make sure they are normal cause I am not raising any Dustin Diamonds, Macaulay Culkins or Gary Colemans," she admitted. "I am raising some strong, black men and that's what they will be." Hope they weren't watching. 

3. When Kandi Burruss Confesses She's Trying to Make Babies

You would think any mom would be happy to hear her newly married daughter is trying to have kids. Not for Mama Joyce. "You sure Todd haven't had a vasectomy?" she asked Kandi.  "I dreamt it. If I said it, it'd be true." Keep on dreaming Mama Joyce.

4. When Kenya Moore Wears a Giant Bow on Her Dress

Dear Kenya, we're trying to listen to what you have to say. We're trying to keep our eyes on your face. But that darn bow you wear during confessionals is so distracting. Where are the Fashion Queens when you need them?

5. When Claudia Jordan Has to Check Her Purse Anytime Apollo Nida Gets Close

We all know Apollo is headed to prison to serve eight years for bank fraud. But was it really necessary for Claudia to run into the girls' room and look into her purse to make sure she still had her Social Security card? Apollo's smarter than that…we think.

6. When Kenya Moore Tries to Rap/Sing

Kim Zolciak, Gretchen Rossi and Danielle Staub are just some of the Bravolebrities who have tried to carry a tune. Now, it appears Kenya wants a shot when she delivered an "impromptu" rap titled "Really, Bitch?"

"You tried it, tried to pull my hair/I don't care. Mine is real. You're wearing a wig," she rapped or sang or maybe just spoke in regards to last year's reunion brawl. "Let me pull your hair/Be on the floor. Mop the floor with that wig." Please don't have this on iTunes. 

7. When Apollo Nida Finally Admits to Lying for Two Seasons

All those rumors that Kenya tried to hook up with Apollo? Not true folks! After plenty of feuds, insults and vicious rumors, Apollo finally decided to come clean and apologize to Kenya before heading to prison. Too bad she also wants an apology from Apollo's wife. Yah, not going to happen quite yet.

8. When Kandi Burruss Leaves Mama Joyce and Todd Alone

With the cameras away for a few months, perhaps Todd and his mother-in-law were able to make some peace. Ummm, not so much. You know things aren't good when Todd has to talk about home decorating to keep a conversation going.

"My mom and Todd have made a lot of progress," Kandi shared. If you say so, girl.

9. When Cynthia Bailey Makes You Imagine Random Body Parts

We're the first to give kudos to Cynthia for gracing the pages of Ebony magazine at 47 years old. Is it really necessary, however, to then attack your friend with a metaphor involving body parts?

"Being friends with Nene is a full time job," she shared on the show. "It was way more draining that my fibroids could ever be." And suddenly, our minds have wandered somewhere far less fashionable. 

Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sunday nights at 8 p.m. only on Bravo.
