I can’t believe that we’re on our penultimate The Real Housewives of Atlanta Sunday of the season, and Brit Eady still doesn’t seem to realize she’s on Bravo. When people deragatorily compare RHOA’s penchant for twerking and turn-ups to Love and Hip Hop, I usually ignore it as inevitable criticism of the new era of Atlanta, but even I can admit Brit Eady’s fighting style is better suited to a lower caliber reality television show (we all know that Bravo is considered high brow in the world of reality TV). Ass shaking and shot pouring are one thing, but abortion shaming is where I draw the line — please take that to VH1. Or, better yet, let’s not do it at all!
It’s a shame because, following Phaedra’s sound advice in Grenada, there was a glimmer of opportunity for Brit to turn her horrible first season around (or at least salvage what was left) in the final stretch.
