Courtney was generally hard to watch throughout the season. But she was extra insufferable in the two reunion episodes. Having a "villain" on the show might work for other shows, but it most definitely does not work on this show, especially not a "villain" like Courtney. Not only is she a nasty "friend", she also does not come across genuine or authentic. There's a certain brand of messy the casts engage in on the housewives franchises, Courtney brings the trashy aspects of that brand (talking about Drew's child in her confession, having genuinely unsavory retorts, piggybacking off of Drew's storyline and marriage issues). What does Courtney have going on in her life other than being supposedly related to Ralph? Does she have any charities she's founded? Does she have a fashion line she's working on? Is she a singer or an actress? What does she have going on other than Drew, Ralph and their failing marriage? Who is she? Courtney did not reflect well on the screen and it would be unfortunate to bring her back on screen for another season. Monyetta, on the other hand, was a much better "friend". Monyetta did not come on the show and completely torpedo the group chemistry by smearing a cast member, did not exhibit "mean girl" behavior, comes off a lot more genuine and authentic and has shown she has more going on for her in her personal life than being a "friend", and a nasty one at that. Monyetta seems to understand RHOA's brand of "shade", and if she ever gets a peach she may be the new bone collector. Monyetta is also genuinely wholesome - there are arguments she is willing to let go of, and although she stands her ground when necessary she still (seemingly) generally got along with most of the cast. Between Courtney and Monyetta (this season's two friends), I'd give Monyetta more screen time. Courtney and Drew's drama felt like a crossover between RHOA and Courtney's audition for Love & Hip Hop. And giving Cousin Courtney anymore screen time will turn RHOA into Basketball Wives/Love & Hip Hop. She does not fit on RHOA and was a bad pick for this season.
