We’re officially back in the saddle with The Real Housewives of Atlanta as The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 is officially underway. I have to admit, I wasn’t going into the season with very high expectations. Like many RHOA fans, season 14 and season 15 left me a little disenchanted with the series. Then when it was announced that the series was returning from its “pause,” I was skeptical with talks of an influx of new cast members set to appear.
However, when it was officially announced that Porsha Williams was returning to the franchise after her departure with RHOA season 13, I’ll admit I was intrigued. I was a fan of Porsha during her run on the show, as she often added a certain levity among all the drama. But while I gained intrigue, I stopped short of saying I was excited. This feeling of not having big expectations for the season continued even when Phaedra’s triumphant return was announced (and she’s had a string of entertaining runs on reality TV lately).
