RHOA Season 17 Episode 6 Preview: Saddle Up and Settle Scores

The peaches are back and the shade is hotter than ever. The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 17 Episode 6, titled “Saddle Up and Settle Scores,” airs Sunday, May 10, 2026, at 8/7c on Bravo (streaming next day on Peacock)

If the previous episodes of RHOA Season 17 have been any indication, this one is set to deliver nonstop tension as the ladies continue their Dallas getaway.

What to Expect in RHOA Season 17 Episode 6

The group remains in Dallas for Cynthia Bailey’s tequila brand celebration, but the luxury trip is anything but relaxing. Old wounds reopen as clashes intensify and tempers flare fast. Expect lingering beef from Episode 5’s room-assignment drama and “meatgate” fallout to boil over in major ways.

Sneak peeks tease several explosive moments:

  • Drew Sidora and Shamea Morton revisit lingering tension, with Drew shutting down what she calls a “bullsh—t” apology.
  • Pinky Cole addresses a wild rumor head-on.
  • Personalities collide as past issues refuse to stay buried, turning what should be a celebratory trip into a powder keg of drama.

Fans can look forward to the signature RHOA mix of glam, gossip, and group confrontations—plus plenty of confessional shade that Bravo does best.
