By Karen Malmquist

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL, Who’s the shadiest of them all? Yes, “shade” was once again the magic word during part two of Sunday’s Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion. Is anyone surprised? And hold on to your wigs, because whether we like it or not, Kim is back.

Picking up from last week, NeNe discusses her newfound love for sitting back and watching the drama unfold around her — instead of starting it herself. Getting to observe the train wreck instead of creating it seems to be a refreshing change of pace for her.

AS IF WE WEREN’T ALREADY JELLI OF GIGGY, he’s brought his posse to Paris on Monday’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and along the way, Kim seems to be slipping into her old ways overseas.

Before crossing the Atlantic, Kim visits Kyle to have a serious talk about Taylor. Last week we heard Taylor sounding less than sober while telling Kyle she was getting into a plane with a stranger she’s “in love” with, not knowing where Kennedy was. First, Kim admires the turtle shells hanging on Kyle’s wall. Once that’s out of the way, it’s time to get down to business. She calls Taylor to let her know she’s worried.

ON THIS WEEK’S EPISODE OF AMERICA’S CLASSIEST SOAP OPERA, we get a shocking look into Lisa’s sexy past, and a face-to-plastic-face between Brandi and Adrienne.

We open with Mauricio laughing at Kyle, who struggles to put her rack of extra clothes back in her closet. After she’s done falling down, she tells him that she’s going over to Lisa’s to have a talk with her about Vegas and try to patch things up.
