Porsha's avoidance of critiques: politeness or strategy?

Is she afraid to criticize another player or just thought it's good strategy not to?

She was afraid to throw anyone under the bus.

At this point, I am rooting for Carson. I really hate everyone else.

I was so afraid Carson was going to get fired. Fortunately Arnold sees that he works really hard, and so many things come naturally to him. Even though he had no experience with anything Harry Potter I think he did a really good job with the presentation. Especially since he was volunteered to be the project manager and he clearly didn't want to.

On an earlier episode and again this past Monday (Jan. 23) Arnold told her in one way or another that he expected answers to his questions, particularly regarding who should be fired.

When she refused to do so, she basically was saying, "Fire me...I don't care."

Moral: When you have ducked a question from the boss, and he comes back and says he wants an answer...if you want to keep your job, you better answer the question.

Why don't we just shoot 'em down and be through with it?

You can't be dodging questions, especially if you're competing to be a boss.

I know in this case there's no mission to be a boss, but typically if you wanted to show what a true leader you are, you need to be more assertive and truthful about who is not a strong player.

Portia was dumb.

So if you've seen Porsha on RHOA, you know that she's dumb, and that she talks a lot. She's a full-blown narcissist. I don't think she's used to someone telling her NO.

It was good to see her eliminated.

I have yet to watch a Real Housewives show, so I really don't know who she is.

I've heard of the show, but that's as far as I go to being exposed to it.

By repeatedly dodging the question, she gave Arnold an easy choice.

Same as Dickerson did 2 weeks ago.

If you've seen her on Real Housewives her behavior in the boardrooms makes no sense. She definitely is capable of fighting for herself. Should have thrown Lisa under the bus
