Grenada was known as the “Isle of Spice” long before The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast arrived, but some unseen moments from the cast trip certainly gave new meaning to the nickname.
Naturally, the ladies had way more than luggage to unpack on The Real Housewives of Atlanta After Show for Season 16, Episode 15, as they spilled all the behind-the-scenes tea from their time on the Caribbean island.
Kelli Ferrell, for one, was quick to bring up the day she planned a cooking class for half of the women, including Angela Oakley and Drew Sidora, while her trip co-host, Shamea Morton, took Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, and Cynthia Bailey to play in a waterfall.
“I can say, Angela, baby, she was turned on by them chefs,” Kelli joked in the above RHOA After Show clip.

Not everything about the culinary experience was quite so sexy, though: “Drew was looking for her motherf–kin’ bug spray, bitch, the whole time,” Kelli added. “I was like, ‘Drew, god damn.’ … She was under attack.”
As Shamea shot back, “Not you looking for bug spray when [you’re] the bug.”

Later the same day, the group reunited for a dinner that included Grenada’s prime minister, the honorable Dickon Mitchell, joining them for a quick drink.
“It was so nice to meet the prime minister of Grenada,” Shamea said, prompting Kelli, who had lusted after the politician in the episode, to chime in, “He was so fine.”

As Shamea pointed out, she’d actually “wanted to hook [Kelli] up with him.” Though Kelli thought her friend was “trying to hook Porsha up,” instead, she still took a moment to stare directly into the camera and playfully remind the prime minister she’s “still available,” if he’s interested in dating.
Separately on the After Show, Angela opined that “Kelli would match well with the prime minister,” elaborating, “He’s very attractive, you know, very intelligent. And I just feel like he could shush Kelli a little bit. Because he’s so calm.”
Adding her two cents that he could “lay down that law,” Drew noted that the prime minister had a “swag” about him, before agreeing that he and Kelli would complement each other nicely. “And the way she was looking at him, I was like, ‘Is something happening here?'” she joked.

At the top of RHOA‘s June 15 episode, the women revealed even more (mostly) unseen moments from one of the Grenada trip’s final nights, which Kelli dubbed “Housewives gone wild.”

As brief clips rolled showing the women raucously enjoying some late-night poolside debauchery, Cynthia described “something different was in the air,” while Drew credited “a lot of tequila” for their fun time.
“I mean, someone’s probably pregnant,” Phaedra quipped in a confessional. “I mighta got Cynthia pregnant, for all I know. Cynthia mighta got me pregnant.”

During a debrief with Angela over breakfast the next morning, Drew added, “I feel like that was, like, what I was waiting for for this whole trip. That was kind of the first time it felt like a vacation where it was just like we were all laughing, having an amazing time, drinking, turning up, everybody was twerking…”
Later, she further opened up to Shamea (aka the “shot-o-clock” champion) and Kelli about how she “would love” if they could keep “that energy and that sisterhood” going back in the ATL, even suggesting they “make a pact to just not fight” anymore.
Porsha, for her part, referred to the Grenadian getaway’s healing aspect: “I came here — and I’m not gonna lie — my heart was heavy; I had a lot going on,” she shared in a confessional. “The waterfall helped it, Jab Jab helped it, bonding with these girls… all of it has just been exactly what the doctor ordered.”

Finally, Kelli, who’d set the trip’s “reset, renew, and rebirth” intentions, offered, “I’m just truly grateful for Grenada, and I feel like this was the rebirth that we all needed. We were able to finally connect on so many other levels and really just, ya know, relax and reset and renew. I pray that when we get back to Atlanta that we can continue this sisterhood.”
