The much-anticipated UFC: 217 event on PPV generated 75,720 Emotional Reactions (ERs), with many sparked by the main event, a match between Georges St. Pierre and Michael Bisping.

St. Pierre, or GSP as many call him, has been absent from the sport for four years, so there was a feeling of uncertainty in the air for how the fight would go. As it turns out, GSP came out swinging (literally — this is an MMA event, after all) and ended up defeating Bisping and wowing viewers, with many exclaiming that he’s still got it.

Although the Season 10 premiere of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” on Bravo (16,983 ERs) centered around the 50th birthday bash that Cynthia Bailey was throwing herself, it was NeNe Leakes who drove more of the conversation. NeNe, who’s been absent from the show since the end of Season 7, is back this year as a full-time housewife — and viewers had lots to say about her return.

While some celebrated her crazy antics and humor, others found her annoying as ever.
