That's the undertone I get also. Sheree isn't married, neither is Kandi and on the other shows, well I stick with NY/NJ my area. There are a couple on there who aren't married either, so I don't get why Kim stands out so much.

Me either. Kandi isn't married, and never has been. Sheree isn't married anymore....but I guess that's what it's really all about. Then again why is Dwight on the show.

I like the show to but I read that Kim is a licensed nurse (registered of practical, I don't know). She is also from Connecticut, which is part of the New York City, Northern New Jersey Tri-State Area, not too many trailer parks out there.
I like Kim but she lies like everyone with the exception of Kandi (so far)and Kim gets on my nerves with " I don't know how much it cost, I just give them my card." That was so last season, when everyone was calling out brands and you would see how much each thing cost at the bottom of the screen. I know part of the fun of this show is seeing all the luxuries but we can see it, Kim doesn't have to say it all the time. I know I see the homes and the cars and the jewelry, I don't need them to keep pointing it out. Just show it.

I could've sworn Kim was from Alabama.

Lisa is Keith Sweats ex and she was/is so freaking ghetto that she robbed her own husband Keith Sweat at the time at gun point with some other people.

That and the fact that she only spent money on herself and was traveling and away too much from her two sons with Keith Sweat the no good hoe lost custody of them to Keith.

And Sheree is a real piece of work. She thinks she is really something but she is really NOTHING.

I like NeNe but she is straight up Ghetto hoodrat turned Diva for a minute.

And I think my favorite right now is Kandi and I like Kim. I hope those two get to be real good friends.

I can't believe that NeNe had the nerve to call Kandi ghetto. She is Not ghetto she is just down to earth for real.

I really like the show a lot I think it is the best of all the housewife shows.

Lol, I watch the show. The thing I don't get is more than half of them aren't wives so why are they on the show. So far as the girls go, Kandi is the coolest, therefore she's my favorite (I'm sorry they put Deshawn off. She was so cool. It's ashame they put her off b/c she wasn't ghetto & full of drama.You gotta have @least one "cool" no drama chick right? Guess not). Sheree is low trying to pretend to be high class. He's seems like she really is hurt. Maybe b/c of how her marriage was, idk. Nene used to be my favorite but now she's taking it too far. She's getting too ghetto & she's acting to catty for me. She's a grown (old) woman & she needs to act her age. It's one thing to be fun & crazy put she still needs to be age appropriate. Lisa is ok but I still think she was being petty when she was having issues w/kim. And kim is clearly trailer trash. I think she has no brain of her on. She can't stand on her on two feet she always needs someone to "cling" to. That's sad.

Dwight is just one of the gals.

I think NeNe was totally out fo line for calling Lisa hood. No one is more HOOD than NeNe. She seems to be a little full of herself this season to me. I still like her because she still has her funny moments. Like when she said Kim better get black and get black fast!

But pretending that she doesn't know anything about growing up without is a bit much. She doesn't even realize it's Dolce and Gabbana, not Dolce and Cabbana!

Dwight is funny, he'll be next at having his own show I think!
And I think it would be entertaining too.

I gained a lot of respect for Sheree when she went toe to toe with that Anthony on the first show. She showed her shrewdness and courage.

This is true but Lisa was/is hood for real. Read up about her former life with Keith Sweat and you will see. Now she is just riding the gravy train because she has a younger/rich man and he is nuts about her. If the infatuation ends she will be in the same position she was when she was dumped by Keith Sweat.

I love Dwight and would love to have a friend like him. He's interesting, funny, creative, loyal and just a sweet Georgia peach!

I am not too crazy about Sheree, but I did like the way she stood up to that nutty event planner. She was absolutely right and IDK what type of business that loon is running, but he was totally out of line and obviously crazy and non-professional. I can't see that clip helping him get any clients.

Who's going to check me boo! I loved that! Classy when need be, but ghetto/hood when necessary too!

Kim just seems like she is from the trailor park I wouldn't say trash that's not nice but she is from the park which is the hood too. She needs a job though being with married men is not cute.

Actually NeNe is downright ghetto and Sheree is ghetto woman trying to fake if for the cameras that she is classy and elite so why just point out Kim for being trailer? Kim is in good company with those 2. Only Lisa and Kandi seem to be real ladies.

Why is it that with all the other housewives shows(orange county, new york, new jersey) they had all white women, but now that they make one with black women they put one white woman in it. Double Standards.

Black women make up only 7% of the U.S. population and tv execs want a bigger audience for the show so they stick in a white woman to help housewives of A crossover to white women.

Cat of course we had to share they feel if it's all black no one will watch but this is the highest rated season the black show.

Exactly, they want both black and white women to watch and relate to the show. All black women on the show would only attract black women which is not a big enough audiences.

[Just The Facts]

It is ironic that Nene would call Kandi ghetto because I happen to think she has class, something that Nene often lacks. Kandi may not speak the Queen's English and she may have trouble getting some of her sentences out clearly but thus far, she has been the epitome of class. It isn't how you say it, it's how you do it.

BW sure make up more than 7% of the population in Atlanta.. Besides she doesn't fit in on the show she's just some ignorant ass trailer trash who runs around talking ISH about people and then hell she's even scared to meet with any of the Black Women cause she's a passive agressive non confrontational bYtch.. Personally I can't stand her and i'm still wondering why is she on the d*mn show???

Those other shows with all white women suck so what good is putting a lunatic like her on the show going to do??/

I think Connecticut but nothing is written in stone. I remember reading somewhere that she had an affair with some police chief over there when she was real young and it was a big scandal.

...and she's hispanic. White skin but hispanic.

Sorry but Atlanta isn't the only state in the union they want as their audience, hello! Nation-wide AA woman only make up 7% which is slightly more than AA men who make up 6% of the total U.S. population.

The white public is huge in the U.S. and in Europe and the so is their dollar power to point they have ability to make or break shows. All white cast shows like Friends can because mega-hits without any black cast members or a black audience but it is almost impossible for all black cast shows to be very successful without adding at least one white character to attract some of the white audience also.
