It’s no secret that Real Housewives of Atlanta is on life support. They’re about one bad season away from getting put out to the pasture, but Phaedra Parks thinks she knows what it needs. She wants Kim Zolciak to return to the franchise.

Can Kim Zolciak save RHOA?
Phaedra made the questionable suggestion when she was en route to rehearsals for Dancing with the Stars. TMZ caught up with her and asked about Season 16 and the possibility of a future return from Kim.
“I love Kim. She is TV gold,” Phaedra claimed. “I owe her a call. Kim, come back and play with the girls. We love you.” Who is “we” though?
Meanwhile, Kim has threatened that she would “seriously consider” a return to the show. Apparently, she felt motivated when she heard that Phaedra would be returning along with Porsha Wiliams. The fact that Kenya Moore is out of the picture probably also helps.
“I’ve been saying I would never return but, as I’m talking right now, I might think about it,” Kim said earlier this year. “Porsha and Phaedra might do it for me. We’ll see.”
If Kim were to return to RHOA, she would have no shortage of drama for the cameras to capture. Currently, she’s in a battle with her estranged husband as they face a myriad of financial issues. Their house has been at risk of foreclosure for months. It could make riveting TV, and Phaedra has been saying it for a while.
Earlier this year, Phaedra made the exact same comment, claiming that Kim is “TV gold.” Ultimately, Phaedra said she just wants the show to return to its glory days. That’s something we can all agree on.
“We were the No. 1 franchise of Housewives and I was a part of making that franchise a successful franchise,” Phaedra explained. “And I would love to bring the franchise back to its heyday.”
