The Dish

I heard a little rumor that Kandi Burruss of former girl group Xscape will be the newest Atlanta housewife, joining Kim, Lisa, NeNe, and Sheree in the madness that is The Real Housewives of Atlanta, so I obviously had to run and tell all of you.

Honestly, all I can think about is the possibility of singing showdown between Kandi and Kim, and my head explodes.

What do you think of the prospect of Kandi joining the cast?

I've watched for quite some time and this last episode where She're pulled Kim by the hair that was so un-called for all of the ladies have talked about each other why are you all taking it out on Kim, as if she's the only one gossiping, Nee Nee watch the tape Shere did talk bad about you,and the freak closet or whatever it is, Ms. Wu is two-faced she spreads rumors, come on girls get a grip pay attention, we love the drama but be a woman about yours and own up to what you said, Oh and bring Dshaun back

I think Candi will be good for the show.But Bravo you need to get Deshaun back.The show offered something for everybody.And she kept it real.Not all black people are loud and confrintational,she was the balance of the show.And why is Orange Co,New Jersey and New York on the website but you have to do a search for ATL?

i think the cast was just perfect. deshawn especially tried to make it peaceful for everyone.i love the drama yes! but sometimes u need someone (deshawn)from the cast to keep it together for everyone. the real housewives of Alanta are the best of all the housewives.

I'm so disappointed to learn that DeShawn and her family will not return to the show for season two! She and her family are more of what I'd like to see as it it close to my reality as an African American family. When will season two begin???? I've been it seems, for ever!

I think you should keep Deshawn on the show simply she was the one that kept it real with NeNe. Please put her back on the show. It will not be the same without her. When is the show coming back on the air???????

I love the show but I must ask why is Deshawn leaving the show. I like her she always kept the peace. I don't know the any real rich housewives in Miami, but that is a wonderful idea. I live in Miami!

I am very disappointed that Bravo is not including Deshaw next season. She was a great addition and a role model. She brought a balance to all the drama. In fact, she was one of my favorite cast members because she was able to rise above all the drama and bring some element of peace. Women need to learn how to stick together and not stab eachother behind the back. Deshawn, I was very proud and pleased of how you handled yourself on the show. GOD HAS GREAT THINGS IN STORE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! Be blessed...

Deshawn was too "middle of the road" for the show. Don't get me wrong, she appeared to be a good wife and mom and wanted everyone to get along but we know this is no match for a show where viewers expect juicy drama. If I wanted to see "normal" folk, I could watch myself. I personally love the show and just like everyone else, I want to know when the Atlanta housewives will be back. Any info???

What would really spice up Bravo is getting TI's wife to be on the show. I feel she is handling diffuculty right now and would be a great asset to Bravo. Because people are really wondering who she doing and whats going on with all those beatiful children they have. Im a military housewife and I can relate to her situation a little. I do welcome her friend Mrs. Burruss as well. Call Me Bravo I have many ideas for some of your show, that can really take you to the next level.

I lived in Atlanta 32 yrs, moved to Pcola 5 yrs ago, but it was discouraging to see those women saying $$ & class buy power. May I please point out they were obviously nouveau rich & assuredly de-classe. Upbringing, education & ancestral background are what class is about. $$ doesn't buy class. If you must keep Atlanta on the air may I suggest you govern what is said. Thank you.

i don't think i'm going to like the show as much without deshawn.she was a business woman that added stability to the show.i think the producers were a little off base with this call.i don't know much about the new cast member so i can't say anything for or against her, but i think booting deshawn was a bad idea...sheree would have gotten my boot if anybody had to get it.but that's just me.

Everyone keeps askign the same question, when is the show coming back on? I don't think Bravo even knows the answer to this becasue they have yet to mention anything about it or show previews........ makes you wonder if they are going to pull the plug and not say just yet...... it wouldn't surprise me, you know how they do US when it comes to TV.

I don't understand why bravo would remove a cast member(Deshawn)from the show, she was wonderful, down to earth, such an inspiration, and brought a certain element to the show, if you have a winning formula,(with atlanta being the most viewed of the housewives franchise), why would bravo go and screw it up. As for the new housewife,kandi,she is already a known public figure,and a star. This takes away from the essence of the show. As a fan of the show, I think Deshawn should return. I probably won't watch the show as much this season without the original cast.

Andy,

I am disappointed you didn't ask Deshawn back. Who makes these decisions? Just like the viewers miss Tammy Knickerbocker, and even Quinn.

Yet you subject us to the boring, scripted Gretchen and Lynne.

Please explain.

i love the show. yes most of them are married to pro ballers. but they are branching off doing there own thing. thats what being a couple is all about,being self made is great.but two hands are better than one.
i will miss deshawn and her husband. that what i call a team. he treat his wife like his partner,friend and his everything. last but not least she put god first.

Kandi shouldn't do the show because she's an established singer songwriter. I can't recall hearing anything suggesting she has a dynamic reality tv worth watching personality. If bravo wanted to replace deshawn for someone more entertaining I'm not sure kandi was the right choice.

Not a bad choice at all. People up on their pop culture (ESPECIALLY if you know what's happening in the world of R&B music) know exactly who Kandi is and I think she would be a good choice. Former 90's girl group member (T.I.'s main squeeze Tiny is also a former member of Xscape), song writer (behind some major hits), ex of the late great Gerald Levert...she would DEFINITELY call Kim out on her LACK of vocal ability.

What's up Andy Cohen!! Love ya!!

Yeah, it might be a good idea for a singing showdown IF KIM COULD SING!

That chick can't carry a tune in a basket for the love of Pete. The ONLY reason Dallas had ANYTHING to do with her is because of her boyfriends deep pockets!!! Trust me, if she were someone off the street, that is where she'd have been left. Miss Kim needs to get a CLUE. SHE CAN'T SING!

I say "the more the better" -- more drama, more to laugh at. I love Nene most out of all of them. Kim is a fake and a phony and a "snob". Nene and her husband are "real people" and Nene's husband on the last episode gave a wonderful speech at the dinner. He is grounded and I think he's done a lot for Nene. God bless 'em!

I am familar with Kandi and her music career. She may be good new member of the group of ladies. She had a success music career as a writer and made her own MONEY! Which is different from the other members of the cast except Lisa. Will Kandi bring drama and havoc to the mix? Well, let's see!

Kandi Burruss is a former member of Xscape, a very popular girl group out of Atlanta during the 1990's. After singing with Xscape, she began to write songs and is responsible for penning songs for Monica, Mariah Carey, NSync, Pink, etc. She also won a Grammy and an ASCAP Award for R&B songwriter of the Year. I love her! She would definately add drama and spice with friends from the Atlanta music scene.
