When the Girl's Trip is too Ultimate, It's time for the Mix in the Box with Mark and Mani again. And what is more ultimate than the return of Nene Leakes to Bravo!
The cast of RHUGT makes their appearance in Atlanta and so does the ultimate peach holder herself--Nene.
Mark and Mani have so much to recap and talk about with Nene's return, her beautiful reception, and her respect of all the icons.
Plus the drama that went down at the alter ego party and a couple detours into real housewives news, and then you've got a Mix in the Box! Not just a recap, we mix it up!

Back in the Mix for more this week! Real Housewives Ultimate Girl's Trip (RHUGT) is about to premiere and a little party was had where Andrew did some interviews. Discussed...
Mani and Chantel are here to cobble the peaches more. That Real Housewives of Atlanta season as a whole gets a closer look through the lense of the finale.
