Um, were you laughing to yourself or out loud when Kim said that the Titanium American Express card was because of her, not Big Papa? Exactly how many wigs do you have to sell a year to pay a $250,000 credit card bill? She would have to make $500,000 gross to afford that and nothing else.

Does she think we just fell off the infidelity turnip truck? What in God's name is Big Papa's wife saying about all this? Is Kim sleeping with her too? Are they one big, happy, blinged-out Mormon family? You couldn't write this stuff.

As far as Kim's lame excuse to Kandi, why didn't she call Kandi that night to speak of her daughter's critical illness? That is insulting. Her self-importance and overall attitude are making her less and less tolerable.

NeNe is working through some family stuff, and she and Lisa are running a charity event for victims of abuse. I totally relate to her in wanting to give her child what she never had. We have to break the cycle and not make our children victims of our pasts.

Dwight and Sheree's conversation about the fashion show is a foreshadowing of major drama to come. The commercial is hilarious. I do happen to like her concept of all the models expressing what "she is."  That's very clever.

Of course, she is the boss. Again, Dwight is posturing for airtime, credit and power over Sheree's fashion show. He is right that the video should not be at the actual show. The compromise of showing it during cocktails is appropriate and fair.

Poor Ed. Particularly after that football scene, I think he realizes his NFL career is over. He is so young and virile, and that has to be very difficult and hard on the ego. They have each other, he has a great vehicle for getting a broadcasting gig, and I think she may get pregnant by season's end.

How funny was Dwight in his ball-hugging catsuit? Every gay, flamboyant athlete in heels needs to stretch. He looked like the African-American Kermit the Frog leaping through the house. That whole scene with the La Gay and Gregg and the girls was hilarious.

That race scene was awesome. I was jealous because I wanted to be there and probably would have peed in my pants.

I thought it was a really great event with a really clever and cute name.

Sheree was absurd to call out NeNe for being out of breath. NeNe looked great, she was hysterically laughing, and if I were laughing and running in heels, I'd be gasping too.

Poor Kandi, who lost her ex-fiancé. What a sweet, talented girl. I hope she rocks it on her record deal. She certainly has a great shot.

As for NeNe and the search for her father, I don't think it will ultimately be fulfilling but it is completely understandable. She wants some sort of closure. Her new house seems completely immaculate and has no furniture or knickknacks whatsoever. It doesn't look lived in at all. I wonder when Dwight is going to put some of his famous flamboyant finishing touches on it.

I know this was a diluted, weak blog on my part. I simply wasn't all that riveted. It seemed like obligatory storyline that was foreplay for next week. Time will tell.
