This season was easily the third worst of the franchise following one and five.
The biggest problem with this season, however, is that it was largelyunpleasantandunenjoyable.
Of course, the two-ton elephant in the room is newlywed Robyn Dixon.
As a result, Chris and Candiace, Wendy and Mia, and Karen all got collateral damage.
They are responsible for handling their stories appropriately, but the implications are still frustrating.
It amounts to a tension that is increasingly void of any camaraderie to balance out the harsh moments.
This conundrum seeps throughout the finale.
Ashley defies Candiaces wishes to have a conversation that Chris is not prepared to have in a celebratory environment.
Karen is in a never-ending paradox.
The grouppesteredher about Charrisse, which is beyond silly.
How do you prove youdidntgo to town with someone in the bathroom?
Unluckily for her: Her final screen says, Mias health remains stable unlike her finances.
Maybe Robyn can help guide her back to financial success again.
I sincerely hopePotomactakes the time to do some tinkering in the off-season.
Another year of vendettas, agendas, and manipulation, however, is just unwatchable television.
Being on a cast is a collaborative dynamic, not a self-promotional tool.
