Recap Of Baddies ATL Episode Four: "Let's Get To The Bag"

I’m back to recap “Baddies ATL.” Are you ready? Let’s get started!

Episode Four: “Let’s Get To The Bag”

So after the intro, we are back where we were last week…..

Natalie and Christina are tussling, and security has to break them up. The melee is so bad that producers have to intervene. I mean, someone should, because once again the arguing is pointless. They really are not getting any damn where, and we are exhausted even if they aren’t. The b.s. has become tiresome.

Natalie has a problem with Christina’s propensity to use sarcasm. Excuse me, Ms. Nunn….

Christina has a problem with the way you are talking to her as well. At this point, you have to give respect in the hopes that the other will start to do the same, and neither one of you all want to give. You should be ashamed that as grown women, the producers have to step in…..but aren’t you both producers as well?

Christina is a producer, and Natalie is of all things an executive producer, and other producers have to ask that you be professional. It’s nerve-wracking…….knock it off and just talk already!

Natalie is willing to talk if, according to her, Christina stops with all the head movements, the rolling of the eyes, and all the extra things that Christina does. Natalie would not be putting any stipulations on me. I would demand she lower her voice, stop trying to boss me around, and really get to the point without antagonizing me as well. But Christina agrees to stop antagonizing Natalie.

Finally…..talk already, Geez.

So the producers are like,

“Bet”……so you don’t have to sit down, let’s just stand here and talk….and they are both like,

“Fine”…… and then Christina goes to attack Natalie again…..WTH!

I can’t.

She tries to get to Natalie, and security basically bear hugs her and pulls her back away…..yeah, they were ready. Good, because who saw that coming?

Once again, how old are we?

If you all think I am giving this recap a lot of energy? Nope, I will give what I get, and if you give nothing? The Baddies of Atlanta will not get what I usually give….now back to the recap, because these ladies claim to want to get to the bag! Time is money, so they are on the clock, ya dig?

They get separated and then try it again. Yes, my hand is on the remote ready to let the Roku zoom away my irritation. Play with me……

Natalie says she doesn’t have a problem allowing Christina to use her “glam”; just be an adult and give some notice. Christina says she has her own “glam” now, and I would advise every Baddie do the same to avoid the issues that plague the Bumskies of America. God bless the Baddie who has her own! She says she is hurt by the way Natalie handled her; she thought they were better than that…her voice starts to crack….oh Lord…..it’s just makeup, Christina, really?

Yawl already know the Aquarius in me is like fast forward already…..they agree to put their differences to the side, work together to get to the bag. They hug it out, but you never know, so they understand to tread lightly…..

The next morning, Sarah finds Natalie sitting alone, so she comes to talk to her privately in nothing but a white terry cloth robe. Ummm, why? Sarah is so extra! Take notes, Sidney; it’s done in such a way all we can do is shake our heads….not want to fast forward……see how that works?

Sarah says she is soooo tired, and Natalie tells her in her deep baritone, “You are always tired.”

Lol.

Sarah heard all the fussing and cussing that took place the night before between Natalie and Christina, so she stayed away from the argument, and she hopes that it’s over today. Natalie says she and Christina have formed an “off the cuff” peace treaty, at least for now, but Sarah is skeptical. I mean, it is Christina. You never know when she will decide to let the devil use her, I’m just saying!

Natalie tells Sarah it’s just so they can now stop arguing, thank God, and get to the bag….but Sarah seems a little jealous. She’s like, now you are back friends with Tanisha and Christina?

Sigh.

We don’t care……

>>>FAST FORWARD>>>

Wait….the camera pans the big palatial mansion…..some of these rooms are drab…wait, that one is just hideous, lol. That reminds me to ask.

Are any of you reading this post fans of the Bad Girls Club? I have been thinking about doing a post on the Bad Girls Houses……leave a comment if you would be interested.

Now back to this recap…..

Seven is in her bathroom straightening her hair, and in walks Sidney…..yes, I’m fast forwarding……get Zeus if you want every scene, ha! But they boogie asses hop onto the vanity to escape a “roach” but really may be a water bug. But in a house this grand, why are there bugs inside it?

Sidney basically tells Seven she is scared of her and a few other girls, but she still going to try the other girls, including Tanisha. They think the house is haunted, and Sidney can’t take much more of Judi….They both have ideas for the meeting that has been called….Sidney has some fetishes………great…..

Do your thing Roku…..>>>

The Board Meeting (if you say so, lol)……

So Natalie and Tanisha call a board meeting between the Baddies so they can sit down and brainstorm on how they can get to the bag……

Natalie strolls into the conference room located in the massive house. She is wearing a cheetah print one-piece, and draped over her arms and shoulders is a black fur. Tanisha is in all black with a light grayish blue fur get-up to accessorize…….are they setting a mood? Are the other Baddies showing up in furs too?

They are ready to get down to business….They strategize how they will hold the meeting….They call in the ladies…..

In walks Sarah, our favorite big bootied White woman. I wonder if she will be the wide-eyed, deer in headlights, whiny, yet astute, scrappy character we know and love? Well, Sarah says she is excited to get to the bag….

Next, chill Seven prances in, and then the lovely Janelle graces us with her presence with her big-as-Texas smile.

Judi walks in…..Um yeah….shut up, Judi, because WE DON’T CARE. So keep saying it in the confessional and remain quiet as a church mouse before I remember all the mischief you have been causing and let loose….please remain silent in the actual episode, dear…..thank you. Just be yourself and be on hush so the other girls can shine….

Christina walks in, dressed in a lovely shade of yellow, smiling and waving…..so she has not decided to jump off the porch into the meeting and bang, at least not yet, ha!

Judi says, in her confessional of course, she doesn’t fit in with the other girls and is ready to go home….but yet and still, there she sits, quiet as a church mouse, making us look at the wig for yet another episode. Shut up, Judi, and leave already, because we don’t care, for real, get gone.

“Who else we got waitin?”, Tanisha asks in her Brooklyn accent we love…..In struts a tipsy Sidney Starr to a round of applause. The thirst is most definitely real; shout out to Ms. Claudia Jordan….I can already tell, Sidney is about to test our patience, but let’s just see, shall we?

She gives a dramatic speech….with a party cup full of something in it…..the other girls snicker as Tanisha and Natalie try to reel a wound up Sidney in…..but look at her go! You are going to notice her or else.

Sigh.

Sit yo ass down, Sidney, and hush it. Look at Sarah…..she is waiting for her cue, so shhhhhhhhh! Watch a pro work if you would just sit pretty……

Karen is waiting to do her thang so zip it before it gets old…..but too late, Natalie has to keep verbally redirecting you to put the liquid courage under the table and sit down so the meeting can start. Giiiiiiirl…….

Sidney, why I bother giving you these helpful gems each week just for you to work my dam nerves consistently? I like you, but you really be pushing the issue, sis, real talk.

Why can’t you have your wine? It’s a business meeting…..really?!! Duh!

Tanisha now welcomes them to one of the strangest business meetings I ever saw…..just keep reading…..

Tanisha and Natalie let them know they want to get to the bag, and they want them to be a part of it, and they let them know how they plan to do it….

Natalie suggests a “Baddie Boot Camp” so that they can all look the part of a Baddie. Tanisha laughs…She is tired of Natalie trying to control her “bellies,” lol. Janelle says even though she is the Queen of “Getting Sucked & Plucked,” she is down even if she has to fake it. Natalie says they can make it fun and incorporate some twerking…..the Baddies agree. Sidney pipes up about being down. She loves to work out because, according to her, “Be a lot of fine ass n****s in the gym.” Girl, stop.

Tanisha suggests a talent show to showcase the talent the Baddies have, because she says there is so much more to them than just being bad. I agree. Ladies, it’s time to rebrand yourselves and transition from being Bad Girls to Baddies or grown ass women, whichever you all prefer.

Right? It is time.

They love that idea too. Tanisha says she and Natalie will also compete….now we are getting somewhere…..it’s an all-around competition…but Judi doesn’t like the idea….she tells us in her confessional…..you know what? Who cares….

Tanisha wants to get to know them, and the talent show will show the world the real them…..could that be why Judi is secretly not in agreement? Because under the horrible pink wig, Judi has beautiful hair… the real Judi is not this tacky mess she portrays…..Shut up, Judi…..let’s move on and speed it up instead of fast forward, lol.

Sigh….now I guess they are going to start addressing the issues. Dang it, I can try to fast forward, but you need the info for some of the episode to make sense. Don’t get mad at me if you miss something…..trust me, Zeus is worth the price for Joseline’s Cabaret alone…….that’s why I put it out first this week. But Baddies is getting better. It’s just the immaturity, thirst, and pettiness is on ten sometimes, and Im’ma need them to keep it at a tolerable three…….most of the times.

Tanisha tells Sarah she knows she secretly hates her…..Sarah denies this with an annoying whine……

OMG. Sarah, we know, you are a producer. Sarah, please shut up. Sarah’s messy ass asks if Ray J, who is a married man, is going to host the talent show. He better not unless yawl want Princess Love tearing up the place…..remember his wife?

Whew! Let Ray J be, Sarah; we heard the rumors, but Princess don’t play……..back to the recap….

Seven says she can’t sing…..lol. They assure her she can come up with something else; it doesn’t have to be singing….Christina is nervous despite being able to sing, according to Natalie and Tanisha…..Christina can see Natalie is actually trying to make this whole “get the bag” endeavor work, and we can too…..the show is starting to get better……

They are also going to have a therapist come in and help……they all need some help with their issues…..

Sidney shares her struggles as a trans woman. It was touching. She almost died for deceiving someone…..she cries. Christina’s mom died three years ago from a heroin addiction. She also, at one point, addicted herself to prescription drugs after having a tumor removed and being prescribed Percocet.

Sarah begins to cry. Tanisha turns to her. “Sarah, what’s going on, what are you feeling”? All the girls urge her to share her painful experience while tears stream down Sarah’s face. “What’s going on, Sarah?”……”What’s making you emotional?” They all implore……

Sarah takes a long pause……while she is sympathetic to all of the girls…….she is really affected….aaaawwww! Sarah, what’s wrong? She is having friendship problems with Natalie……what?! You mean to tell me everybody is going through some real stuff and you whining about your superficial friendship with Ms. Nunn? But it’s to be expected, lol.

We SEE The Act KAREN……

Girl, bye, with the Karen act, Sarah Oliver; we see right through you with the tears and the weepy voice. Sarah feels because she is nice, people have taken her voice, ideas, and friends….OMG. Sarah, we know, you are a producer. Sarah, please shut up. You are possessive of Natalie, and it is exhausting….and creepy.

Natalie brings up a dog…..Sidney brings up her cat…… Tanisha and Natalie reveal they both had miscarriages…..Seven offers to be a surrogate for Tanisha…..what the hell kind of business meeting is this? Only the Baddies……

Wait, Sarah is now smiling and chiming in…….this is a mess, lol. Janelle barely said two words……now they are talking about postpartum……

Natalie thinks she may add some more girls like Kat Washington, Amber, who is Tanisha’s friend from BGC. And oh yes, Mehgan James…..even though she has issues with Natalie….Judi wants someone to listen to her, she tells us in the confessional. No, we don’t care.

They are ready to go out to celebrate the progress at the club…..good, we are sick of the drama, so let’s party!

They go to the club, and a good time is had by all……..

They leave the club, and in the van, the devil decides to show up……Sidney starts up with Judi…..not now, Sidney, didn’t you all just have a good time at the club? Why start up now?

They are sitting side by side in the van, so they are able to put their hands in each other’s faces as they argue, again……

Tanisha keeps turning back around to see what is going on and try to defuse the situation, while Christina of all people tries to stop the b.s. as well, to no avail. Sidney is determined to ruin the good time that was just had by all….and she just might get her ass whooped in the process, just keep reading……

She keeps on with her tirade about Judi being phony…..now remember, although Tanisha can’t stand Sidney, she is trying to figure out what is making her so upset…..but Sidney starts to disrespect Tanisha, who is not there for the shenanigans.

If she were a booger, you may not want to pick her, Sidney; your nose just may mess around and start bleeding……shout out to Tokyo Vanity. But it’s not because Tanisha is about to bop her one, although Tanisha most definitely goes off on Sidney, even threatening to send her home…..Sidney manages to piss off a male part of the entourage traveling with them, and he threatens to put hands on Sidney in defense of Tanisha……whew!

This episode was a lot better. Told you to have faith, because the Baddies are on to something, we think!

So we can’t wait to see what happens next week. Are you all watching the show? I am….Let’s support the Baddies! Feel free to leave a comment, and keep reading for my recap of Episode Five!

What are your thoughts?
