<p>For those of you who have ever watched RHWOA, I just found out that one of D’s classmates from HS, her dad is “big poppa” for that dumb blond Kim. They also had their house (big poppa and the wife, not the mistress) on “MTV teen Cribs” where they are showing off the 20,000 sq. ft. home. D is at some fashion institute in Los Angeles, and flies home every weekend. This girl had a grad party, class of 2008, that was about $250,000. Absolutely over the top disgusting. Sorry to rant, but I just found this out today, actually it is on TMZ, and then I found it all over the net. Lee Najjar is his name. John Edwards almost looks saintly compared to him. Pig.</p>
<p>Pretty bad I agree. But is it worse than the RHW episode where a rich fiancee is dying of cancer and the lady’s friends are counseling her to get hold of the guy’s Will and make sure she’s “well taken care of?” Ugh.</p>
<p>I don’t blame you feeling repulsed, GA2012MOM, but I’m interested to read that there really is a Big Poppa. I can’t shake the feeling that most of what’s on reality TV is the product of talent-deficient producers who create stories and characters out of whole cloth. Because I can’t imagine why people who supposedly enjoy material success would put themselves on display like that! I mean, if one of my loved ones needed an organ transplant, maybe (but is there a “Real Boring Middle-Aged Moms” franchise? 
)</p>
<p>I don’t understand why anyone watches that stuff.</p>
<p>I understand that “big” poppa is quite a bit shorter than Kim. I don’t watch the show, but while watching things on Bravo (top chef masters, and the new project runway replacement) the commercials keep me up to date!!! I heard a clip for ET or Extra during the news that ran a pic and said he was anything but big, except for his wallet. Kinda sad. Has to be hard on his family. Unless they have seen it all before and stick around for the excesses he can allow them to enjoy.</p>
<p>What is RHWOA???</p>
<p>Real Housewives of Atlanta, the show on Bravo. Of course you wouldn’t know, you only watch PBS</p>
<p>I would be interested in “Real Boring Middle-Aged Moms” because I could learn some real world problem solving skills.And I’m not even a parent…yet…?</p>
<p>We don’t get Bravo. I was happy to hear they had moved project runway to a channel I do have so I can see it as I have read so much about it here. And actually I do watch PBS (well I think I do - I think our local OETA is the same as PBS), though I don’t know how you would know that. Has a lot of British shows on it. Now if I could get only get BBC America I would die happy. Well not really but I would be happy.</p>
<p>swimcatsmom- BBC America is the best.</p>
<p>I watch all of my TV online via Sidereel. </p>
<p>Thats really, really terrible! I’ve grown up around a lot of disgusting dituations like that, its really quite terrible to see situations like that.</p>
<p>Oh, and have you guys heard of/watched NYC Prep? Apparently, during a screening, they were either not there or slouching in their seats out of shame.</p>
<p>So on EXTRA tonight Kim is flaunting a huge diamond–the Extra interviewer said it was the size of a Georgia Peach (exaggeration), and she said something like “stay tuned, and just maybe its from big poppa.”</p>
<p>sunnyflorida- Did you hear the blurb that NeNe was a private dancer? Can’t imagine.</p>
<p>I don’t actually watch the show, but because I see the commercials (the incessant, repetitive commercials) when I watch Top Chef and the Fashion Show (OK and Flipping Out) , and because Kim stands out as the only blond, I know who she is. Which one is NeNe?</p>
<p>Oy. </p>
<p>TV is a huge landfill full of oozing garbage! Although this garbage is sterilized (bad words bleeped out, questionable body parts blurred out), it is still GARBAGE!!</p>
<p>I watch all my TV on Hulu or itunes- Bones, The Closer & House, but I may add Top Chef.</p>
<p>One of the contestants had a recently closed restaurant in Seattle that had very good reviews but I had never made it over there. However the space that it was in, used to be the " activity center" for my daughters middle school- so I had fond memories.
Sounds intriquing.

<p>Yes, Ne’Ne’ worked at Magic City which is in downton Atlanta. It is a mostly AA club in downtown Atlanta. Kim worked at the Cheetah club, her main thing was her nurse routine.</p>
<p>SunnyFlorida, OMG! I was under the impression that Big Poppa (aka Lee Najaar) had broke it off with her. If it is indeed true that that ring is from him, all I can say (in a VERY non PC manner) is that she has skills, and he is stupid. Nuff said.</p>
