Nene Leakes welcomes Kim Zolciak back To Real Housewives Of Atlanta, but only 'if she works!' After countless fights throughout the years on Real Housewives of Atlanta, Nene and Kim have finally come to an understanding after some much needed distance. There was a time when 'wig' and Nene couldn't even be in the same room together when filming Housewives and their verbal fights had even become physical. These Atlanta originals have really matured when it comes to love, family, and success. So It's no surprise that Nene welcomes Kim back to her Sunday night reality show. But Leakes has some rules for Kim before she totally welcomes Kim back!

Nene told Andy Cohen on WWHL that Zolciak can come back to the Atlanta Housewives as long as Kim is a team player. The last season of Atlanta Housewives Kim was always late, was absent at events, and declined the annual vacation with the other Real Housewives. Kim neglected her duties to be with her family, pissing off the other Atlanta Housewives, mostly Leakes, who worked hard to make the Atlanta based reality show a huge success for Bravo. The other Housewives with children still made time for the show. Though she regrets it now, Zolciak was not making Atlanta Housewives a priority. 

So a very pregnant Zolciak dramatically stormed off the show in the middle of last season during a Housewives brunch. Though she didn't say anything about quitting, Nene and the other Housewives knew that her exit was permanent. Kim wrote on her Real Housewives of Atlanta blog that she left because of "The fighting. The stress. The gossip. The drama. I reached my boiling point."  But just because Nene Leakes welcomes Kim back doesn't mean Zolciak would actually be an asset to Bravo! Now that ratings have hit all all time high two weeks in a row, Kim is 'open' to returning to the show. Atlanta Housewives is at its peak and it is no surprise Kim wants back in. 

Since her dramatic exit, Real Housewives of Atlanta has never had better ratings. Kim was one of the originals and returing could actually hurt the show. People are more tuned in to the current group of Atlanta women more than ever before. Last Sunday Atlanta was the most watched show on television beating Keeping Up With The Kardashians. 

Despite the high ratings, Nene Leakes said on WWHL, "I'm not against Kim returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta."

Zolciak thought she was leaving the RHOA on a high note, predicting that ratings would go down in the near future. But for some reason Atlanta Housewives only got bigger without Kim.

Bravo found the perfect formula of the six remaining women and their husbands to make the most successful Housewives season for the franchise ever. Despite her regrets, the reality show seems to mesh better without her.

Zolciak told InTouch Magazine that she's done making babies and she'd be open to coming back to the hit show. Well of course she's be open to coming back to the highest rated Bravo show! Kim's Bravo spin-off show averages a measly 1.1 million viewers an episode; not even in the vicinity to the Atlanta Housewives explosive ratings. 

Real Housewives of Atlanta ratings are the highest they've ever been before. Atlanta has been on Bravo since 2008 and unlike the other Housewives franchises, Atlanta ratings keep rising.

 This past Sunday Atlanta Housewives was watched by over 4.52 million viewers; and that's just the people that watched it while it aired! Most women these days DVR their Housewives shows or watch the repeat when it airs later.

Another 1.3 million viewers watched The Real Housewives Of Atlanta in repeat last Sunday at midnight. That makes 5.82 viewers that Bravo can calculate. The episode beat ratings for all of the Housewives reunion shows; the highest ratings before being Atlanta reunion season 3.

Kim left the show, saying that she was more focused on family. The newlywed mother of four had her hands full and claimed that she didn't have time to hang out with the other ladies.

On the mandatory girls trip that Housewives attend every season, Kim decided not go. She blamed her pregnancy but the other ladies just thought she had 'checked out.'

Though Kim might want to come back, it seems the formula of the six remaining ladies is working out just fine.

Kandi, Kenya, Phaedra, Porsha, Nene and Cynthia have all remained and there have been no additions.

Seems Bravo got the right ingredients for the most successful Housewives group of ladies so far. Sorry Kim!

Would you want Kim to come back to Atlanta Housewives?
