Wait no longer, the highly anticipated second season of Bravo's hit series The Real Housewives of Atlanta returns Thursday, July 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. See what drama has been going down in the ATL when everyone's favorite southern gals return, including new housewife Kandi. Will old friendships be mended, or will new problems surface?

The series is an up-close and personal look at five fabulous women from Atlanta's social elite – from NFL wives and Grammy Award winners to sassy single moms – as they juggle their burgeoning careers and busy home lives with the whirl of the south's hottest city. Catch Kandi, Kim, Lisa, NeNe and Sheree as they balance motherhood, demanding careers and a fast-paced social calendar, and show what life is like in the most exclusive areas of Atlanta. These driven and ambitious women prove that they're not just "housewives," but entrepreneurs, doting mothers and feisty southern women. These ladies show the world what it takes to live large in some of the hottest zip codes in the south. The Real Housewives of Atlanta are: Kandi Burruss, Kim Zolciak, Lisa Wu Harwell, NeNe Leakes, and Sheree Whitfield.




Discuss the upcoming season below!

I CAN'T WAIT!!!! NENE IS OUR GIRL IN P-BURG, KANSAS

I can't wait.

I'm not sure they can top the drama and utter two-faced-ness of OC but I liked last season.

I saw Sheree's fashions...is it possible for ya'll to show pics of the ACTUAL designs. Every shot is of the chest up. What's that about?

_{I just want to know one thing, did Sheree lose her house and do anybody know what her and Kim is going to be fighting over? I mean they were suppose to be big friends.}

nen is the best sheree just needs to stop basing everything on money and that its a lot to deal with whenyou have a divorce but q man does not like greedy women and she needs to stop being so over confident and stuck up...

Thank goodness after NYC Prep and Miami Social can't wait!!

Saw Nene on Wendy Williams today, cant wait for the new season. She was funny as usual and I like the way she defended Danielle-disclaimer-i do not like Danielle-but I agree Danielle's past is from like 100 years ago.

I also watched NeNe on the Wendy Williams show. She is a star because she is so down-to-earth. NeNe is very candid about her past and makes no excuses except to be grateful for where she is now in life. Bravo to her!

Also, why is there a new housewife? What happened to Shauni (I believe that was her name)? I don't think her husband enjoyed their family being followed around by the camera...

But I loved Shauni. She was sweet and never had anything negative to say about anyone-even though she did live a sort of extravagant lifestyle. I wonder did they move since her hubby was getting ready to retire because of his injury. I will miss her being on the show.

He has a NBA show everyday on Yes Network at 12:00 pm Yes Studios are located in Stamford CT. but I don't know if they relocated.

the one that left ( I cant for the life of me remember her name!) was the most down to earth and certainly the classiest of the bunch. She always tried to behave with decorum. She didnt seem to take anything she had for granted and she felt dutibound to conduct herself like a lady, always. She's a good woman and I'll miss her.

this new one looks like Fantasia from American Idol!!!

Thanks Patty...I'll bet that's what happened. I know he talked about hosting on one of the shows from last season. I agree Xactly...

DON'T WATCH! SOME IDIOT ALWAYS HAS TO MAKE RACIST COMMENTS TO TRY TO GET A RILE OUT OF PEOPLE. NOONE ON THIS BLOG WANTS TO READ THEM. JUST A THOUGHT...WILL THERE BE A SEPARATE HEAVEN AND HELL? I WONDER WHERE ALL THE RACISTS AND BIGOTS WILL BE FOR ETERNITY?

I saw another preview today and it looks like NeNe and the new girl are not getting along. Looks like it is going to be one interesting season. Can not wait for July 30th!!

That's why she's not there any more!

Reread the comments above. Perhaps that could be partially true; however, it seems more likely the move is because her hubby is taking care of his family (as he was shown to be doing in the 1st season) and thus the relocation to Connecticut for his new job.

The Housewives of Atlanta show is full of DRAMA. If you don't want to see drama, then don't watch it. We enjoy watching NeNe and the other ladies. It is reality TV, and some of it might be scripted, but it is strictly for entertainment.

My favorite Housewives are the Atlanta, New Jersey, and of course, Vikki and the drama queens of OC. Strictly drama, drama, drama! We love it!

Well sorry to burst your already small bubble but black people have always been "IN" we are a soulful people so it makes us more passionate in our actions, so on July 30th u will be the first one at 9 o'clk on the dot ready to watch what drama unfolds because u have a bland existence because if u didn't u wouldn't be on here spewing hate... BTW can't wait to watch love the realness of my Atlanta girls lookin forward to seeing how friendships have changed since last season am guessing do to current circumstances Sheree has humbled herself because last season she thought she was the sh!t with her nose in the air which show to appreciate and never take for granted!!!!!!!!!! PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERY RACE.

DeShawn is very pretty, and she was nice but not enough crazy drama. Bravo declined her. I remember her on the couch at the reunion, saying very little. With her work in religious organizations is this crazy show right for her. Seems better for her to get another kinder gentler show.

Photo shoot...

LMAO! This is a video clip of Sheree and her party planner Anthony. I think Anthony should be on this show.

I've actually been through Pittsburgh, Kansas! I didn't know NeNe was from there. I loves me some NeNe!!!

I know. Stupid b*tch.

NICELY SAID!

Thanks for all the tips! ...and I thought I was a big fan of the Atlanta drama girls!

Thanks for the clip tip. If this is any indication of the drama to unfold, WOW... He put Ms. Arrogant, oops-I meant-Sheree in her place! I hope we will see more of NeNe's gay (oops-that was "guy") friend--especially when he disses Sheree.

Well they seem to have at least 1 A-lister that's a fan--Demi Moore. According to the site above, it seems she was rceiving snapshots from the shoot as it was happening while she was in Paris. WOW!

THANKS AGAIN PIPERLAURIE FOR ALL THE RELEVANT SITES. I KNEW THEY HAD CALLED HER SHAUNI OR SHAWNI ON THE SHOW. I REMEMBER NOW HER NAME AS BEING DESHAWN.

SHE WAS SO REAL. BUT IT DOES STATE THAT THE PRODUCERS DECIDED NOT TO RENEW HER BECAUSE SHE WAS "TOO HUMAN FOR A CIRCUS SHOW." I DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE WATCHING A CIRCUS SHOW EACH WEEK--I GUESS THAT'S ONE NAME FOR ALL THE DRAMA WE SEE, HUH? LOL BUT WE LOVE IT! IT'S A LOT BETTER THAN SOME OF THE REALITY MESS BEING SHOWN.

I ALSO SEE WHY DESHAWN WAS SO SWEET--ON THE SITE ABOVE--IT STATES SHE IS A LICENSED MINISTER AND IS WORKING ON HER DIVINITY MASTERS DEGREE.

Thanks Piper that was good for a chuckle. Listen you guys when I "AX" you to carry me in a room on a pedastol with rose petals at my feet I expect all of you to do it or I will check you all. Remember that now, Boo!!! Priceless!!!!
You seriously can't make it up. It has to be real. I have never even heard my soap opera writers say lines like that and I have been watching Days of our Lives for 40 years!!!

Nicely said, and I would just like to add....THERE IS ONLY ONE RACE...... THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!!!!!!!! There just happens to be a few lovely colors, like flowers in a garden, and like those flowers in that ONE garden, we all need to be loved and cultivated. We can grow in ONE garden, it's those damn vermin that ruin it in that beautiful garden. LOL! PEACE and LOVE!

Something about Deshawn getting her own show. From Monday about the atlanta constitution blog link above. Hope it works out for her. Also hope that the NJ Wives get more money next year, kind of sad that they didn't get paid much and the show was such a great hit.

I have so far been a fan of the "Real Housewives" show, until the Atlanta girls joined in. I would like to see how people with money live differently. The Atlanta girls remind me of all the students I work with. In a middle school when the barometer is low, or there is a full moon, that's what it looks like. Simply watch an episode and you'll get the same amount of immaturity, girl drama, and self-centered attitude as you get in a middle school. So, thanks girls of Atlanta.. you've just made the other "Housewives" look that much better!

I cannont wait for the upcoming season of Real Housewives of Atlanta. I love NeNe and I am inspired by her. Seem a couple of the other housewives gave her some drama last season but she is still kicking, I admire that about her. Keep your head up girl and handle your business.

ooohh! Girl now you know you could have kept that. I love the Real Housewives of ATL. They are the BOMB! they are simply more interesting to watch than those stuck-up, butt skreeching, tight wads who think they are better than anyone else and each other housewives of New York, Jersey, and Orange county. Those women have nothing more to do daily than to hate on each other and spend money. WOW! what a life. DUHHHHHHHHHHH!

I can't wait until this season kick off!! I'm so excited to see what's going down this season with my girls Ne Ne and Lisa. I wonder what happen to Deshawn this season? Oh well...this new woman look like she's going to be interesting and fun...We'll see.

What shows are you watching where the ATL bunch is worse than the NY, OC and NJ women? I think you may not be as color blind as you would like to think yourself!!!! There is equal amounts of petty, backstabbing, drama and cattiness on ALL the shows. You singling out the ATL women just shows, perhaps a racial slant to your opinion. Shame shame!!!

LOL

Nice post, can't wait for the drama to start, lol

Kimbie, you really find that post funny?

I can't WAIT for Kandi to [expletive deleted] out Nene like they showed in the preview commercial! LOL



If you are looking for the dramz til the season premier of ATL Housewives check out the youtube series The Real Houseboys of West Hollywood!

The newest Housewife Kandi has said this about it on her Twitter: "I LOVED the clips! They need to give y'all your own show for real! the bananas are HILARIOUS!", BravoTV said, "LOVE.IT." and our very own Andy Cohen has said, "This is funny! Good job boys!"

See what everybody is talking about at www.youtube.com/realhouseboysofweho

TOO FUNNY PATTY...LMAO. I KNOW SHEREE DIDN'T USE THE WORD "BOO." I THOUGHT SHE HAD SO MUCH CLASS--CLASSLESS-WANNABE.

DITTO RIENNE!

WHATEVER LEALYNN! ALL THE SHOWS ARE FULL OF DRAMA OF ONE KIND OF ANOTHER. DIFFERENT CULTURES; HENCE, DIFFERENT DRAMA...

Reread the posts above. They talk about DeShawn's leaving the show. There are also some good links about her.

When will they learn???
