Although the drama filled reunion for season 9 of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘ has already taped and is set to air in a matter of weeks, Bravo cameras caught up with the ladies ahead of the taping to get their take on the day ahead of them.

As the ladies got glammed up by hair and makeup, they gave resident host, Andy Cohen some advice on how to prepare for the long day of screaming, shouting, and taping, which lasted over 12 hours.
