'Real Housewives of Atlanta' finale: Cynthia's wedding keeps you (and her) guessing
We have to admit that we didn't properly prepare ourselves for the doom and gloom that was to be the first hour of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" finale. And then the last half hour was so touch-and-go when it came to Cynthia Bailey's wedding, we realized that we should have done like Kim Zolciak and visited a bar beforehand.
The Atlanta gals have always put the "real" in "Real Housewives," but this season they were so unsettled in their own lives that it caused this season to feel manic. And as the finale ended, we can't say anything was really resolved.
Kim: After all that Big Poppa nonsense and then the lesbian fling, we didn't think there was anything Kim could keep to herself.
So, what a surprise that she waited until Cynthia's wedding to finally come clean on her relationship with football player, Kroy Biermann. We guess she's learned something. She does have a nursing degree, after all. And now she's expecting a baby and they're still together, so let's hope for her sake that that part of her life settles.
On the flip side, it looks like her relationship with Kandi Burruss isn't in a good place. We don't understand why Kim feels she's special and that she doesn't have to pay what a normal artist would for a written and produced song. How does she think Kandi makes money?
Kandi: After losing her fiancé last season, we're thrilled to see how well Kandi is doing, but it's obvious she's a bit stuck when it comes to relationships. Maybe, she's really not over his death? And you know what? That's okay, too.
But instead of romance, she admits to throwing herself into her work and clearly she's trying to get her singing career back. We've been pretty clear that we're not fans of Kandi's music. She makes some bomb tracks for other people, but her personal material just doesn't register with us. That doesn't mean there isn't an audience for it, though. We do think she makes magic for other people. Um, Kim? And, obviously Lawrence turned it out on that "Closet Freak" single. But, will Kandi be okay if her singing career never quite takes off?
Sheree: Miss Sheree Whitfield has been a lost ship this season with no sign of getting back to port. What we like about Sheree is that she truly believes every word she says and every step she takes is right. That kind of confidence is hard to find.
But, last season it was fashion. This season, it's acting. We're happy she ended up getting that movie, but did you see her competition in the waiting room?
Plus, that casting team was boughetto and made all that drama for the camera only to cast her in the end. We don't know what she'll be into next, but mostly we think she's best spending money and needs to find that man with the seven figures Phaedra Parks was talking about.
Phaedra: Oh, girl with the problem telling the full truth. She's a big fish in a small pond and clearly she's not as classy as she believes she is. On the bright side, she likes her career, she loves her man and somehow that baby brought her authenticity out. Plus, girl can rock a business suit. So, who are we to judge if she sees the world through glittery eye shadow?
NeNe: We're always shocked that people are so angry with NeNe Leakes this season. She makes this show. Yes, she's loud. Yes, she's liable to strangle a fool. Underneath it all, she's dealing with a son with no realistic goals, a husband who has plain deceived her on more occasions than we believe the cameras have captured and now she has to figure out how to make a living if their marriage falls apart. Everyone is so quick to condemn her, but we think she's doing the best that she knows how in a time any one of us would be falling apart.
We don't blame her if she ends up leaving the show. We know we'll miss her, though. Bloop!
Cynthia: She didn't run. We'll give her that. And in the end, she made the decision that was right for her. We wonder what she did when she found out her sister and mother almost took that choice from her by hiding her marriage license? Reunion question!
It's obvious that the wedding tapped the couple out. The fact that they couldn't come up with just $3,000 for the alcohol and the wedding bands never materialized proves that much. We have to admit we weren't sure if she was just going through with the wedding, because she didn't want to disappoint her guests or if it was because she truly knew Peter was the one.
But when she appeared at the top of the stairs and Peter began to cry, we believe she did it for the love of Peter. And, well, if it doesn't work, she still has her Plan B -- or should we call it "Plan D."
As we mentioned before, this season was very different from previous seasons of "RHOA," and it will be interesting to see how settled we find the the women in Season 4.
What were your thoughts on Cynthia's wedding and where everyone landed in the finale?

I think NeNe is a control freak. It seems that if you don't agree with her in any way, than you are on her bad side. I also agree with the ofter girls that she was way out of line when the girls planned their weekend for Cynthia. You never invite someone else because you want to get even with onther person. She needs to back off and give her friends some time along without her demanding all the attention. The show is not all about NeNe even though she thinks it is.
I thought it was low down how Cynthia's mother and sister schemed to hide her marriage license. Who does that?
I realized now that it's not Cynthia's fault that shes the runaway bride, it's her mother and sister getting into her head.
I completely disagree with you about NeNe.
I use to enjoy NeNe.
I use to think she was the Best part of the show.
I DON'T ANYMORE !
I can't watching her and I feel the show would be better without her.
I loved the season finale. My favorite character is by far NeNe because I think that she was going through a lot and many people didn't understand that. I work and subscribe to DISH Network and I got to watch Cynthia's wedding in HD, which was beautiful. Regardless of how many people don't think Cynthia should've gotten married, it was up to Cynthia and I am happy with the decision she made. I highly recommend that people check out DISH Network though because it's well worth it.

I think that cynthia and peter will do a good job together because all marriages all have problems. A nd if they have true love then thats all that matter. despite what her mother and sister says. because i didn't see a man on either of their arms at all. and so ******* what if the man is down on his luck at the present time he do not seem like a oppertunist to me that trying to use cynthia for her money......
And as long as he is not kicking her *** or ******* Ne Ne. then every one should keep it the **** moving
I am glad she married Peter. She has loved him for a ln time. Forget what Nee Nee the mother had to say. She need to stay away from Nee Nee sometimes. Nee Nee don't need to be in her persojal life. No one tells Kim what to do and that is good. Nee Nee is oh so jealous of everyone on the show. She need to go oh the orange county housewives show and spice it up some Hallelujay!!!
I don't believe Cynthia should have gone through with that marriage. Peter let her way down...it was his job to pick up the wedding bands, but that didn't happen, now did it??? He is a real piece of work. This is indicative of the way he will be throughout their marriage. Run when times get tough.
I think that NeNe has really turned in to a bitter person. I liked her in season 1 but not anymore. She needs to find happiness where ever that may be. I truly believe Greg messed up bad more than we'll ever know but hopefully it will work out for them two. Kim is crazy and I hope she finds happiness with Kroy and pays Kandi for her services. I began to like Phaedra toward the end of the season and her husband is HOT. Sheree got boring this season.
Stop making excuses for NeeNee's trifling ***. I bet she can't even read and write. She is not the only one struggling and that is no excuse for her to treat people the way she do. She knows who not to mess with though. She knows that Kim won't fight her, but let her *** mess with Kandi or one of them. She should not be on TV acting like this; I don't care what problems she is having. If she is so all that, why don't she leave the show and see if she can make money using her brain. Not!!!!!! Love yall; Keep it real people.
