RHOA fans are celebrating Cynthia Bailey’s return to RHOA with last night’s (August 6) episode, taking to social media to share their excitement.
“Age is just a number, but these cheekbones are timeless!” tweeted one viewer. “Cynthia Bailey is back!”
“These ladies need a Bailey-Q,” another viewer shared. “Someone tell Cynthia to hook it up! Ok… honestly, I just miss the Bailey-Q’s. They were a #RHOA staple that I didn’t want to end.”
Many RHOA viewers pointed out that Cynthia Bailey, clearly an experienced Housewife, seemed to get to work immediately with her guest spot at Kandi Burruss Tucker’s event.
“Show em how a true vet pushes story and gets straight to the mess,” posted one viewer.
“Having Cynthia back is reminding me how much I miss her warmth and cheekbones on the show,” tweeted another viewer. “The group is really missing a figure like her that can bring them together.”
Cynthia Bailey joined RHOA back in Season 3 before leaving again after Season 13. While some viewers wanted Cynthia gone Season 13 for being boring, it looks like that sentiment has mostly evolved with many fans now pointing out she has something gossip-worthy to talk about after her divorce from Mike Hill.
“Cynthia said Aht Aht Kandi they not paying me enough to talk about my divorce,” tweeted one hilarious RHOA viewer, referencing the fact that Cynthia is most likely keeping the scandalous details about her divorce (if there are any) private in case she is asked back as a full-time Housewife.
LaToya finally speaks
In addition to Cynthia, this week’s episode featured the return of LaToya Howard.
As RHOA viewers are well aware, LaToya appeared on Season 13 as a Friend of the Housewives and was present for the cast trip to Charleston, South Carolina, which has been much of the focus on the currently-airing Season 15.
“Honestly, the great thing about #RHOA right now is the number of casting ‘combinations’ producers have at their disposal,” tweeted popular Atlanta fanpage The Peach Report. “They literally have Porsha, LaToya, Kim, and Cynthia all just sitting here, whose RETURNS would surely help get things on track. Season 16 has POTENTIAL.”
LaToya appeared on this week’s episode to confront Kandi for saying she saw LaToya share a kiss with Drew Sidora on the Charleston trip.
“They had to recruit the season 13 girls to unpack the storyline from season 13 because they have nothing to offer in season 16…” tweeted one eagle-eyed viewer.
With some fans wanting Bravo to rework the RHOA cast after season 15, it will be interesting to see what Cynthia Bailey’s impact on the ratings is when those numbers are released later this week.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Kenya Moore, Kandi Burruss Tucker, Shereé Whitfield, Drew Sidora, Marlo Hampton, Sanya Richards-Ross, Courtney Rhodes, and Monyetta Shaw-Carter and airs Sundays on Bravo.
