If you're like me, you probably can't believe that Real Housewives of Atlanta lasted so long and is back for it's fifth season on Bravo TV. With new cast additions and old foes returning I admittedly will be tuning in to check out the foolery that is set to begin on November 4th. There have been several RHOA knockoffs but something about the relationships on this show continue to draw viewers and the various renditions of Housewives fall just short of capturing the audience like the Atlanta cast. (New Jersey is probably closest).
Of course the obvious difference between the shows is that Atlanta has an majority black cast and set in a city that is known for its large wealthy or well connected African American community. I think that the dynamics of the personalities is what make the show interesting more so than color or race. How many viewers have chosen sides with NeNe and Kim during their arguments or wanted to slap Phaedra for saying something stupid? The personalities of the ladies (whether you like them or not) make for good television and the audience has grown connected to the women over the last four seasons.
This season Bravo dumped Sheree Whitfield and added former Miss U.S.A Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams-Stewart, wife of former NFL star Kordell Stewart. If the recently released trailer is any indication of the upcoming season, I predict drama galore. Hopefully the new ladies won't deter the dynamic too much but we shall see.
Will you be tuning in?
Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres on November 4th at 9 pm on Bravo. Check out the trailer below!
