And that’s only the first five minutes of the least celebratory bachelorette in history. First, there is a concert where Kim sings ‘Tardy for the Party’ to open for Kandi. Then Cynthia walks in a swimwear show that she is not only not excited for, but needs to do in order to pay for her wedding now that Peter’s lounge has closed. It’s dour.
Cynthia breaks down in tears when Kandi asks if she is going to go on a honeymoon. She almost leaves before the strippers, but just because the marriage is doomed doesn't mean you shouldn’t enjoy seeing some of Phaedra’s clients drop their trousers.

Everyone knows the best way to get from Atlanta to Las Vegas is to fly to LA, rent a bus, and drive four hours to the strip. Unless you are NeNe, the host, who arranges to fly first class from LA. The other women let it slide, because she is starring on a sitcom and therefore the most famous person on the cast.
Kenya Moore is one of the most beautiful, vivacious, and witty creatures to ever grace a reality television program, and on this trip she is desperately trying to get married to a human thumb of a man named Walter. Even worse, she plans to goad him into eloping by flirting with Phaedra’s husband Apollo right in front of everyone.
Housewife trips have been described in many ways: scary, wild, booze-soaked, contentious, from hell, etc. South Africa is probably the only one that could be described as moving. Sure, there were catered lunches out in the wildlife park, and safari rides to let the women ogle beautiful animals (not to mention flummox their guide by asking where the Indian tigers are), but the highlight was visiting a nearby orphanage.
