The tenth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was not as iconic as I had previously anticipated. I thought that the returns of OGs NeNe & Kim, Kenya's secret marriage and the fallout from last year's LesbianGate drama would make for amazing TV, which in some aspects it did but in others it just made this season disjointed and hard to navigate. The group also didn't feel as connected as they have in past seasons because many of the peach-less ladies brought more to the show than those who actually hold a stone fruit. Don't get me wrong this season wasn't horrible but it wasn't up to the usual standard that we normally expect from these shady Hotlanta ladies. For season 11 I can feel a MAJOR shakeup coming our way, so get ready and check out our rankings of this season's cast and who we think should make it through to next season.
10. Shamea Morton
Who? I don't know her. Apart from trying to start drama with Kenya in Houston and asking Eva if she was a lesbian, Messy Mea really didn't bring anything to the show and will never hold a peach!
9. Eva Marcille
This former ANTM winner was brought on midseason as Kenya's alleged replacement and she may not be as messy as her predecessor but she does bring realness to the show. Eva's only drama this season consisted of her spilling tea about Cynthia's shady opportunist boyfriend Will and being asked if she dated Missy Elliott by Shamea. Although it wasn't a lot, she held her own against Will and read Messy Mea for filth like a professional. Eva probably needs to become a little more comfortable with talking about her life on camera but she is real, honest and upfront which are three qualities that we want in a Housewife. Marcille is engaged with a new baby on the way so her season 11 storyline basically writes itself. I say we should give Miss Eva a peach for next season because she has a lot more to give!
8. Cynthia Bailey
50 Cynt's storyline this season was essentially just her age but it kinda worked for Miss Bailey. Cynthia has never been one of the most entertaining women to watch but she is a nice filler Housewife with amazing wigs and a beautiful face. Ever since she kicked Papa Smurf's ass to the curb she has really grown on me and not been as depressing as she was when Peter was on her arm. 50 Cynt also had to deal with all the women coming at her with tea about her shady new boyfriend which I couldn't be fucked caring about because we all know that he is only there for the cameras. I like Cynthia but she isn't essential for the show and is one of the ladies that could be demoted to a friend for season 11, but I mean congratulations on Cynthia for holding onto her peach for 8 seasons now without having an actual personality, that takes some kind of talent.
7. Sheree Whitfield
Going into season 10 She by Sheree successfully established herself as the show's resident bone carrier but as soon as Kim and her wig turned up on the scene Miss Wigfield reverted back to her old ways and climbed up into Kim's perfectly bleached asshole, which made her peach redundant. Back in season 4 she did the exact same thing when the two feuded with NeNe and she ended up losing her peach as a result, which I think could be the same outcome this time around.
Apart from her finally telling her kids about her abusive with heir father (even though it had already been broadcast on national television months earlier) her lame prison boo and subsequent feud with NeNe, Sheree really didn't have a lot going on this season. She basically became Kim's unofficial mouthpiece and low-key alienated herself from the group which wasn't a smart move when there is shakeup just around the corner. I wouldn't be surprised if Miss Wigfield did lose her peach next season because she is definitely one of the ladies in question.
6. Porsha Williams
Porsha started the season on the outs with all the women on the show as a result of her feud with Kandi and beef with NeNe, which caused her to spend most of her camera time filming with her family and Sheree - but Miss Wigfield will film with anyone because she needs a check to fund her basement renovation. Miss Williams spent most of her time apologising to everyone and after her explosive confrontation with Marlo in Barcelona she finally started to get along with the rest of the group, even Kenya started to come around to Porsha. Along with her beef with most of the cast, Porsha's main storyline this season was her new role in the stage adaption of “Two Can Play At That Game” and her fake will-they-won't-they relationship with Rickey Smiley. For now I think Porsha's peach will be safe for season 11 but I wouldn't be surprised if she has run her course on the show.
