The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 4 Recap: Bachelorette Boat Ride From Hell

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 4 featured some emotional sit downs, an unexpected guest, and the party boat ride from hell.


Which Bravolebrities were involved in which development(s)?



Picking up where we left off last week, The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 4 found Kenya trying to mend fences with Sheree.


While that relationship showed some (we didn’t say much) potential for growth, another was falling apart at the seams: Porsha and Duke.


When the Duke was MIA for their Skype “date,” Porsha confided in Phaedra Parks, who was quick to tell her what she felt was going on.


“If he is not building you up, honey, he’s like a dead weight around your neck,” her co-star enlightened her. “Everything runs its course.”


She seemed to see the light, as well … after she threw an insane party to introduce him to all of her friends, but better late than never?


Elsewhere, the pregnant Kandi Burruss and Cynthia Bailey met up for a rather serious conversation about love, business and marriage.


Both when have had their marital issues, as you know if you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online. Will Cynthia’s union last?


We’re left with a glimmer of hope, albeit a very slight glimmer.


On to happier topics, Kim Fields dropped by Phaedra’s so their kids could have a play date, and give them a chance to interact on camera.


The women bonded about what Kim’s “boobage” at Kenya’s hair care launch party, and finding their own identities, separate from family.


She did not have to wait long, because Kenya decided to throw a bachelorette party for Cynthia on a boat … yes, you read that correctly.



Given that Cynthia is already married, and unhappily to boot, we have no earthly idea how this qualifies, but a bachelorette boat ride it is.


On hand were Kenya, Cynthia, Kim, Kandi, Porsha, Posha’s pal Shamea and Cynthia’s friend Tammy, who is BFFs with Sheree’s ex Bob.


Soon enough, the laid back vibes faded as Kenya took Porsha to task for bringing Shamea without asking, then got into it with Shamea.


Fortunately, we did not see Porsha Williams beat down Kenya Moore a second time, but the latter did make threats against her friend.


“I’m going to have the captain escort you off my boat. This is my party,” Kenya told Shamea. “If you want to take the shortcut, you can jump.”


Was it not Cynthia’s bachelorette party? Just trying to clarify here.


There was also a convo in which Tammy described her husband as “Nazi white” and hounded Kandi about working with her rapper son.


It was an interesting day on the boat, and that was before Porsha said, “Whatever, Bitch,” to Cynthia during a moderately tense exchange.


Bailey lost her mind, and while Porsha insisted she was using the word as a term of endearment, a heated Cynthia took it as an insult.


Next week’s previews show Porsha on the ground, being held down by the production crew, so this one clearly escalates pretty quickly.


Tune in next week to see how we get from Point A to Point B!
