**in no particular order**
making the band 2: da band (season two)
reasons for making the cut
—thugs with braces. dylan. latina back fat. diddy and diddy’s crew of sickly middle-aged henchmen. dylan. cheesecake. weekly fights on wooded staircases. sara’s husband ‘s forehead. north philly n*ggas. dylan.
i mean, seriously. can you ask for more???
—spawned the single funniest reality show parody yet.
america’s next top model, cycle 3
reasons for making the cut
—still remains the number one all-time season on the list of “shows guys pretended to be forced by their girlfriends into watching even though they secretly enjoyed it”
—contained three of the five bangingest reality show chicks ever (eva, tocarra, and princess yaya)
***sidenote: between her being the only completely body-less chick in the history of history to have black men openly lusting for, her placing second only to esther baxter on the annual “chicks with names that definitely would make you think they’re much worse looking than they really are” list, and the fact that she single-handedly spearheaded this terrible 2004-present mohawk era, is it safe to say that eva pigford is one of the most influential americans of the 21st century?***
the apprentice: season one
reasons for making the cut
—still remains the only competitive reality show in history where people outside of the show’s niche actually gave a damn about who won
—in omarosa, provided american households with a living, breathing caricature embodiment of each of the worse stereotypes about black professional women, and almost single-handedly set back black male/female relations in my bedroom ten years with her blatant sabotage of kwame jackson (the patron saint of male “dark-skinned” points) in the final
the real world: san diego
reasons for making the cut
—the only reality show in history where each character was actually, gasp, likeable, each episode was funny, and all seemed like they genuinely enjoyed being around each other. if reality shows were sports, this season would have been the 2004 detroit pistons, and the late frankie (whose death actually resonated with me) would have been rasheed
—contained jacqueez, who, along with arissa from rw las vegas, was the only black person in real world history i could see myself being cool with in real life despite his subtle effeminatity. in fact, i still have absolutely no idea how he even made it on the show
your turn, people of vsb. who makes your cut? name your favorite reality show seasons of all-time.
—the champ
OMG im fiiirrst.
anywhooo.
this first season of candy girls has been epic. any season of college hill (ruining HBCU’s reps one school at a time… primetime popeyes commercials and all )… and how can you leave out Flavor of Love??
@CoCo,
“candy girls”
Haha. I finally saw the fight. The producers must’ve put Danielle up to it throwing Kysha in the house. Nobody is that effing dumb. And either the thick chick is an extremely good actress or that reality-based show went to reality in 2.5 seconds flat! lol@ Danielle getting thrown around like a rag doll.
but poo on my tivo for cutting it off.
@Me fail english?,
Brooke’s voice got that ghetto girl rasp reall quick and kysha was unprepared for the REALITY part of the show. LOL. smh at danielle being the BOSS but getting talked to like the errand girl.
@CoCo,
Right? I saw it a mile away. Terricka’s off yappin like a Chihuahua and they think she’s the one to watch. WRONG! You could tell she’s used to poppin alotta ish and rarely backing it up.
Brooke looks like she has that kinda patience and sense of humor that once she is actually pissed, she WILL fight.
I heard the whole agency was made up for E! and none of my video ho friends (I actually have a few, haha) have heard of them. That’s why Danielle is such a ishty boss. Cause she aint a boss at all! She was like Ne-yo’s old asst or smthg.
@Me fail english?,
chile… Terricka has the WORST attitude for someone who suffers from Muscular Manface disease. She stays bumping gums. Olivia whines about everything and if you came from so much money… why they aint fix your wonk eye and overgrown jawline? Brooke is BADD and has come a looooong way from dancing in the wipe me down vid in a coogi hoodie *sigh*
maybe danielle is trying to jump her career off bc she is DEF in the new teairra mari vid (cause a scene) all up next to jackie long….
this show brings me endless mirth.
@CoCo, I have missed about five shows. I saw a rerun on TVOne. DId they change the channel for it?
@Nicki Sunshine,
its on E on like sundays or mondays.. it bounces. lol
@CoCo,
and how can you leave out Flavor of Love??
easily
@The Champ,
say what you want.. it was epic in its pop culture influence.
I agree with those.. but i will add
The very first season of top model..Camille and the swollen lip fiasco was funny as well as Robyn and the whole titty shaking incident..
The very first season of the real world with Heather b and perpetual angry black man Kevin,
The season of real world with Ruthie, and Tech the funniest shyt was Ruthie did all that shyt and it wasnt until she broke that 1 glass that Tech had enough…LOL
The season of real world with Pedro and Puck I really liked Pedro and hated puck
and the season of real world with Tammy and David…1 the drama and bullshyt reason why David was kicked off, 2 i love seeing the wanna be wack a.s.s rapper/musicians…its like the purposefully find ones they know are not going to make it
and Yes the first two seasons of flavor of love
oh and the season of the bad girls club with the black chick that bust the white girls nose and then talked cash money shyt..was her name leslie or somethin?
I also enoyed the bad girls season with tanesha…..pop off son pop off
Oh and I loooooved the first season of the real housewives of Atlanta….if for nothing more than to hear kim sing that damn song…im on a tightrope…between me and you and what i dont know..LMAO
@shay_d_lady,
omg the reunion ep where she told everyone she had cancer and that was the reason for her horrible weave… then backpedaled like 12 seconds later? KIM, stop.
I think Kim was trashy she was a guest on Q100 yesterday talking the upcoming season…should be good but Atlanta housewives was crazy but some of it seemed fake. Now Bad Girls season 3 was real good cause the girls were young and naive and I loved how Tiffany was a real b**** and the fighting was even better.
@CoCo,
LOL.. I was too slow to compute but my sis said immediately “Um, don’t you lose your hair from the chemo, not the cancer?”
How you gonna say you started losing your her first and THEN had doctors tell you it was because of cancer. What part of the game is this?
@Me fail english?,
call me wrong or mean, but i dont care WHAT attacked your body.. there is NO excuse for the shiny, synthetic weave with the jewelry from Big Poppa you insist on piling on at every given moment. that and the red lip liner with pink lipstick really grinds my gears.
i liked tanesha from bad girls club
@Gem-balaya,
Last I heard she was working at Rainbow on Church Av in BK.
Those “Bad Girls” don’t be pimpin the system right.
so said. she was still cool as heck. a bit crazy, but that’s the very least i except from NYC chicks.
@Gem-balaya,
I ain’t get no sleep cuz of yaaaaa’ll; You ain’t gettin’ not sleep cuz of meeeeeee!
@shay_d_lady,
ooh, how did i forget the bad girls club, season 1? yasss. i adooored the tall violent black girl.** until she spit in that girl’s face and i felt conflicted.
and i loved the season with camille. i felt like she was made into more of a bully than she was. i mean the objective was to win. and that’s what she tried to do. i remember in the shoe CHALLONJ when the girl was like, “of course, camille had to get to the shoes first. mmhmm.” ummmm, betch that was the challenge. BETCH!
of course, i don’t think omorosa was that bad either. until evil became her schtick.
**no homo. lol
@charli skipper, yeah Omarosa got a taste of fame and walked over to the dark side..and I felt the same way about camille she was no more of a biatch than any of the others..and to me I was more upset about Robyn reading that girl the bible passage calling her ignant when she told her she was an athiest…LOL WTF? ol girl should have took the bible and slapped her a.s.s in the face…
@shay_d_lady,
WTF? ol girl should have took the bible and slapped her a.s.s in the face… .
Let the church say Amen.
Robyn was such a hypocrite. That was soooo funny when Jay called her out about they titty slangin.
@shay_d_lady,
When I think of Tammy, all I can think of is when here & her girl group(she was the rapper while the other gals sang) went into the studio she could not get that one line right. Imma slave, imma slave, imma slave to yo luvin. Sad yet true which bring me to my other favorite RW musician. New Orleans David. Dude was/is a d!ck yet he gave us “Won’t you be my baby tonight, I’ve seen the way you’ve treated other thugs before. Come on be my baby tonight. ” If I remember correctly he also gave us a scat in the beginning.
@Nola Darling,
“Doo-da-ba-dee-da-ba-dee…Doo-da-ba-dee-da-ba-da….”
I damn near died when he busted out with that song.
MTV knows exactly what they’re doing when they pick these folks…
@Lili,
“Doo-da-ba-dee-da-ba-dee…Doo-da-ba-dee-da-ba-da….”
Take me now Lord! For years I though that was a joke…til he came to some all seasons reunion singin that ish and was dead serious. *SHOCK*
@ Nola Darling & Me fail english?,
” “Won’t you be my baby tonight, I’ve seen the way you’ve treated other thugs before. Come on be my baby tonight. Doo-da-ba-dee-da-ba-dee…Doo-da-ba-dee-da-ba-da….”
OMG DEAD! yo didnt he like half play the guitar too and he would strum it while he recited his broke down sing/raps…OMG he was such a tool and his “won’t u be my baby tonight” will forver live on in infamy…one of the reasons why that season (and chicagois on my all time fav real world season ever! for ur listeniing pleasure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDvr7d5qZUw
@PrincesMo,
Thanks alot Mo. This Youtube ish just kilt me dead!
I forgot all about the musical accompaniment. As if thugs play keyboards!!
@PrincesMo,
this song is the gift that keeps on giving
@Nola Darling, girl LMAO @ you for remembering Tammy’s lyrics.. and you know it was rumored that she was having an affair with Kenny Smith who was married to spinderella at the time and thats why she had that abortion.. on national tv.. and she also had her mouth wired shut so she could keep to an all liquid diet… you cant make this shyt up…LOL she later married kenny so I guess its true… and I did forget David..LMAO
@shay_d_lady,
You mean Kenny Anderson?
@miss t-lee, You mean Kenny Anderson?
probably so
@miss t-lee,
yeah. it was kenny anderson. apparently tammy was known to be an nba groupie
@Nola Darling,
Oh sh!t….I forgot about David and “Be My Baby Tonight” shenanigans. Good times!
@luvtheshoes,
Haha! Yes! David actually hit on my coworker on MySpace last year. They were about to go out but she bailed out because she wouldn’t be able to get that song outta her head. lol
@Cheekie,
That song will haunt him forever…lol
@Cheekie,
Good call on her part!
@Nola Darling, LMAO I’ve met David in person several times, and not only is he a total douche, but he’s still tryna get signed. I don’t understand.
@Kindred Smile,
Yeah, that’s the impression my coworker got. That he’s a complete douche. I’m talkin’ Summer’s Eve.
He had zero game as well, but she just thought he was hot. She weighed the pros and cons and thought better of it.
“Oh and I loooooved the first season of the real housewives of Atlanta….if for nothing more than to hear kim sing that damn song…im on a tightrope…between me and you and what i dont know…”
@shay_d_lady, We are >HERE<!!! I can’t wait until the next season.
@shay_d_lady,
which season was it when that black guy kept beefing with the alky chick. and then there was that one ep when she was leaving to go to rehab and he knocked on the window and slapped the ish out of her?
oh mah word! favorite.episode.EVAR
hmm….i was just thinking about that season of top model the other day! i had a kelly moment: “maybe i’m just not as cute as i though *hiccup; cry*…” lol.
um….favorite reality show seasons…..
real housewives of atl-season 1
and this season of college hill comes to mind, cuz chile, kyle is ignorant! “How long did it take you come up with that one? I mean reaaaally
” or my favorite kyle moment: “when i was a little girl…” lol.
and i really liked the season of real world with all the black peo–i mean, with arissa, irulan, and that little wack chocolate boy. i was in college so i was soo caught up in the drama because i felt like they understood me. ha!
ooh, and this season of the game with tia mowry hardicht. does this count?
@charli skipper, and this season of college hill comes to mind, cuz chile, kyle is ignorant! “How long did it take you come up with that one? I mean reaaaally
” or my favorite kyle moment: “when i was a little girl…” lol.
yes Kyle might be officially the gayest man in America.. I mean all we need is him to show us his drag show/majorette outfit and he has all the stereotypes covered
but when he sashayed up those stairs with those ribs? LMAO
@shay_d_lady,
yass! he flipped the hair and everything. he even showed ‘em a little leg. and took it right back.
@charli skipper,
“he even showed ‘em a little leg. and took it right back.”
Love the Cosby Show reference.
Homeboy served on them steps with that Rib. Even Ms.Jay had to bow down.
@charli skipper,
LOL!! I was just trying to remind my sister of that episode the other day….
@charli skipper,
HAhaha @ Grandma and Grandpa Huxtible.
And where did they find that name? Has anyone met a “Huxtible” in real life? Sounds like luggage.
lmao i just saw a commercial on BET. i’m smdh. wowsers!!
@charli skipper,
As for this season of College Hill, I wish they’d kick Paul’s dirty lookin arse off the show. He is the only character that I think has NO redeeming qualities. Why don’t they just throw him in the ocean?
@Me fail english?, As for this season of College Hill, I wish they’d kick Paul’s dirty lookin arse off the show. He is the only character that I think has NO redeeming qualities. Why don’t they just throw him in the ocean?
yeah he thinks hes in a real life version of “step up” and then when he was like.. I know yall thought I was white… but Im not im jamaican… WTF?
@Me fail english?, u think the gay bol has redeeming qualities? he might be the most evil person in the whole world. what he did the new girl was on called for
@Peyso,
Yeah, I was totally pissed about how he treated new girl. But the softie in me can’t hate him cuz dude has serious issues (eating disorder, whatever discrimination he faces for being a gay black man, the razor bumps et al.). I know it’s no excuse but at least he tried to diffuse the Chris-Brandon situation.
Also, Milan’s passive-aggressive self needs to be slapped. She thought just cause Kyle was the one being over the top nobody noticed how catty she was being toward new girl. I hate when ppl think they’re being slick but you see right through it. *throat-punch*
@Me fail english?,
um…that fool ain’t got no eating disorder. i need him to quit it. now.
@charli skipper,
lol. Come to think of it…he mighta hoodwinked folks with that one. Who u kno wit an eating disorder is gonna beef over ribs?
smh
@Me fail english?,
who has an eating disorder and just sits there and tells people, “and now i’m about to throw this up.” ?
boo, we just met! hide it from for at least a 2 week period.
and then he was eatin soul food. i’m sorry, but bulimia and ribs do not go together.
@charli skipper,
bulimia and ribs do not go together.
potential t-shirt
-Project Runway, seasons 1-3 (they were all great and had some great black designers!!)
-Real World Back to NY (3 black ppl — coral was a character)
-Real World Las Vegas (3 more “black” ppl!!)
-Making the Band 4, season 2 (i love me some DK and Day26)
-The Hills, pick a season — they’re all entertaining
-Prime Time Love w/ Deion Sanders, season 1 (“that ain’t gon work”)
ok basically mtv produces (almost) all the reality shows i like. though there are plenty of shows on mtv that i absolutely cannot stand!! seems like mtv is more like rtv since they have more reality-based shows than music these days.
@Gem-balaya, I forgot about runway.. I didnt start watching it until the season with Christian but caught a marathon and saw the michael knight season.. LOVED It….
i LOVE michael. but i was really sad at his collection for fashion week — to me there was basically NO piece that was as good as any of his previous ones. the collection was just bleh. even my gay uncle who was at that fashion week was like “ooo uh uh honey, that is not couture” lol
@shay_d_lady, Runaway had me hooked from the first time that I saw it.
@Gem-balaya,
deion had a show?
thats my boy “must be tha money thats turnin them on” lol thats my jam to
@BLUNTBLAZER, Yeah and it was cute!!! Deon ridin around on that dayum huberround scooter almost killed me…LOL
I also loved “must be the money”
@shay_d_lady,
dam thats one I woulda watched lol gotta you tube “must be the money” now lol. Me an deion have the same b-day LEOOO’S
@BLUNTBLAZER,
All the Leos put your hands up!
*raises hand*
@BLUNTBLAZER,
LEOOO’S
Party over hea! I share a bday with Barack Obama, the Queen Mum and Billy Bob Thornton
@BLUNTBLAZER,
Leos stand UP!!! Hear us roar.
Rowr.
@BLUNTBLAZER,
It was similar to Eddie George & Taj’s show although not as good but definitely better than Jackie & Doug (insert last name here, he plays basketball and she travels with him at all times) .
@Nola Darling,
I remember their last name. It’s Christie.
@BLUNTBLAZER,
see i NEVER liked deion sanders. i thought he was whack and silly. so when he got a show i was like “let me see this foolishness”. but it was a really cute show and i just LOVED his adorable little kids. pilar is gorgeous and a really sweet person who deion kind of runs over (on his little motorized chair lmao). hopefully another season is in the works.
@Gem-balaya,
lol@ his scooter. That makes me kinda sad to think what the NFL did to this brother’s knees. But Pilar and the kids are adorable.
I wanted to beat that stupid boy up who dissed his older daughter. We aint like you no way, punk!
@Gem-balaya,
…agreed. Project Runway Season 1 (w/Kara Saun) and Season 3 (w/Michael Knight) were the best seasons by far…w/the exception of the ‘fierce-ness’ that is Christian.
kara saun was robbed!!!!!!!! omg i couldn’t believe she didn’t win. and they made such a big deal about the shoes she had made for her collection. *smh* darn shame.
@Gem-balaya, awww what happened to prime time with deon and pilar? i liked that show and wanted to see another season
@Gem-balaya,
I am such a MTV junkie also!
I like most of the Real Worlds
All of the Gauntlet and RR vs RW stuff
My new favorite is “Taking the Stage.”
@Ivy St.,
I hadn’t even been watching those gauntlet things till CT was bout to fight Adam and he dissed the mess outta that girl. Now THAT was comedy
@Gem-balaya,
Co-sign on the Coral love.
“The Hills, pick a season — they’re all entertaining”
Man, probably one of the best moments is when Heidi was in trouble with her boss…she brought Spencer to a party and paid more attention to him than actually working. Then when he took Heidi aside to reprimand her, the camera stays on Spencer and he’s devilishly smiling like it was alll part of the plan. He didn’t want her to have a job just because he ain’t got one. Sorry, Spence, sitting in the living room and typing on your computer doesn’t make me believe you have a job.
Oooh, the Prime Time Love. I loved Deoin rolling around the house to do everything.
yeah, spencer is a total loser. and heidi is even more of a loser for putting up with his nonsense. but it makes for GREAT entertainment.
oh and Making the band 4 the first season.. . I loved them picking the boys… I really liked Brian H the one that cried about them dreads when puffy was trying to give him the busta leaders of the new school cut? Deangelo and Julius singing I wont complain> and Puffy and Lori Ann? Yeah that was a good one
@shay_d_lady,
I concur on Brian H. I was so mad diddy told him he was too good to be in the group and should go solo…only to give a solo deal to *chokes* Donny?
@Happy Meal,
How much of a loser is Donny? He can’t sing, he can’t dance, he’s not cute. What is it about Donny and Cassie that made Diddy say “Eff the talent. I’ma focus on yall!”
i just got really into Taking the Stage on mtv. why i’m fascinated by teenage drama is beyond me. but i always wanted to go to the scpa in san diego. so part of it is watching the life i might have had if my parents agreed to let me go to that school.
@Gem-balaya,
Me too. I used to dance (ballet and modern) and everytime I watch, I wish I’d never let it go.
So now I make my neices watch in the hopes they’ll get the bug and I can relive my youth vicariously through them
LOL i come from a very artistic family and so i was in dance and music. i feel like since i was never encouraged to put as much into my “talents” as my school work, i’ve become this no talent @$$ clown.
@Gem-balaya, i’ve become this no talent @$$ clown.
Oh Gemmie, u can booty bounce wit’ the best of ‘em! No talent my big toe. I seen’t u
@pgh muse,
i’ve become this no talent @$$ clown.
i wouldnt say that. you’re actually great at hosting potlucks and losing at spades
lmao ihatechu
p.s. i’ll probably be hosting a “get together” for this current playoff series. GO CELTICS!!! *wearing green for gluck*
@pgh muse,
awwwww you’re so sweet i love you!!! and ummm errr uhhhh where my blue earrings at?!?! lol
@Gem-balaya, I’m sorry ever since you put up this monacre I can’t resist wanting to chop it up w/chu. mmmmm
@WuDaMan, I need some rice for lunch.
@WuDaMan,
damn wu, only you can misspell ‘moniker’ as monacre.
@shay, I was thinkin kinda frenchy kuarter. LOL.
LOL i don’t even wanna know what you REALLY mean by this whole comment.
@WuDaMan, Shay, Gem
*crying*
@Gem-balaya,
I LOVE Taking the Stage! Them angsty teenagers give me LIFE! And they are mad talented. Tyler is a bit of a cocky bastard though. And I love how Malik is always so sassy.
@Luvvie,
***hoping this “malik” person is gay, because a straight male cant be “sassy”***
@The Champ,
Yeah, he gay. And he’s absolutely adorable.
@Cheekie,
I love him and his boyfriend. They’re too cute! And I like the way he dances much better than Tyler
@Luvvie,
lol yes malik is a sassy diva, as matthew clearly pointed out in one of the 1st epis. he’s soooo dramatic and sensitive. i just wanna hug and slap the sh*t outta him at the same time.
@Gem-balaya,
Count me in one being all wrapped up in Taking the Stage. And I need to slap the back of my hand for lusting after Tyler. Ah well, I hear he’s 18. Most of guilt aborted. lol
@Cheekie,
Girl, you might hafta fight that singing chick for him. She aint even TRYNA ease up off his nuts. No shame…
@Me fail english?,
LOL, girl you ain’t never lie.
As much as I hate to say it… I Love New York, both seasons. The fact that she was a trainwreck and that dudes wanted to “be with her” made it hilarious. And c’mon…she really was over the top with damn near everything she did.
The Real World: Boston. That was the first season I watched as it was airing and I used to sneak up and watch it b/c it came on past my bedtime. I thought Cyrus was cool as hell and Kameelah was a little cute despite the constant attitude she always had.
The Real World: Chicago. I lived in Chicago while they were filming this season and actually drove past the house a few times. Theo was cool but was never around (probably b/c of the lack of drama on his part) and Aneesa… smh.
Top Chef Chicago. Ok. So maybe I can’t cook, but I was glued to this season and even tried to make one thing (with no luck)
@brran1,
Real World was really good about showing cool black dudes. Teck Money, Theo, Cyrus, that guy from San Diego I’m sure there are more, but I started hating the Real World
@brran1,
“As much as I hate to say it… I Love New York, both seasons. The fact that she was a trainwreck and that dudes wanted to “be with her” made it hilarious.”
Agreed. I couldn’t wait to tune in and watch her ridiculousness. And is it just me, or does she look like Janet the Fish from the Muppet Show?
http://www.mwctoys.com/images/review_bmuppets_1a.jpg
@RedBeanzNRice, She looks exactly like that….or Lamb Chop. It depends on the day.
@Kindred Smile,
“or Lamb Chop. It depends on the day.”
LMAO – ain’t that the truth! And you can’t tell her she’s not hot to death! But hey, you gotta love yourself first, I guess, lol.
@brran1,
“The Real World: Chicago. I lived in Chicago while they were filming this season and actually drove past the house a few times. Theo was cool but was never around (probably b/c of the lack of drama on his part) and Aneesa… smh.”
Yeah, Aneesa was and still is a hot mess. She actually came to speak at my school and I met her. I loved when she got into that argument with some lady and she was talking all about it back at the house. She was all, “Why are you telling me this, you fat cow?!”. lol It was all in the delivery.
Ok so I may be showing my 2520ness but I watch Girls Next Door on E!. I watch Millionaire Matchmaker. I liked Tough Love on Vh1. The season of Surreal Life that had Vern Troyer ( Mini-Me) drunk as a skunk relieving himself in the corner on his Rascal scooter, and the weird hump/grind/moan that he did in bed.
@Nola Darling,
I also forgot my role model Kathy Griffin My Life on the D List. She is effin hilarious. Gotti’s Way & Run’s House are also good.
@Nola Darling, I do like Gotti’s way and Runs house however Daddy’s girls sucked… is it still on the air?
@shay_d_lady,
I agree. DLG was scripted beyond belief. I don’t think MTV renewed it.
@Nola Darling,
…Kathy Griffin is also a favorite. Every season of “My Life on the D-List” is hilarious.
@Resident GRitS,
I use to think she was annoying when she was on talk radio…then outta nowhere this show came on and she was hilarious to me. smh @ what her husband did (stealing her money).
I must say that I was disappointed when I saw her perform last fall in DC.
@maria, I must say that I was disappointed when I saw her perform last fall in DC.
you know what Mike Epps is like that.. funny as h.ell on t.v in skits and movies and shyt but his stand up is not that hot. it def has its moments but overall……
@shay_d_lady,
I think Mike Epps started smokin that ‘Katt Williams’ cuz when I saw him in Philly, like 2003 he was hysterical. Then I saw him on HBO a couple years back. That ish was painful. Like who stole the funny?
@shay_d_lady,
i never was on the mike epps is funny as hell train. i think he reminds me too much of my barber
@Nola Darling,
I *heart* Kathy Griffin. I still haven’t watched “She’ll Cut a Betch”. It’s on the tivo tho
@Nola Darling,
dang, how could i forget Run’s House?? i love that show!!!! even my parents watch it.
@Gem-balaya,
Oh, DUH, Run’s House. I love Rev’s wacky, “whatyagonnado” he does in that silly voice. And little Russ. Oh, I just wanna take him home, he’s so adorable. I love how the two little boys both have that scratchy voice like their mama. Aw.
@Nola Darling, the moan is what got me.. I think I had night mares about it…
@Nola Darling, I thought I was the only black person that watched millionaire matchmmaker. I like patty and her millionaires
@Satya,
oh no. i watches the millionaire matchmaker. and take notes.
@Satya,
Me too! How sad was Destiny’s Stepchild on there?
All nervous around those corny men.
lol @ Patti constantly saying “I have to impress her. She’s a celebrity!” I take it you’re not a fan of R&B, Patti. Baby, that aint no millionaire and I’m not even gonna go in on what I think of the type of man who signs up to be the prey here…
What was the other reality show in Buffalo with matchmaking? That was funny too.
@Nola Darling,
I can’t understand how Millionaire Matchmaker even stays on the air. That chick is wicked ugly, but she has the nerve to pick and choose which women are physically beautiful. And her attitude is SO stank – ugh.
@RedBeanzNRice,
Yeah that doesn’t bode well for the service if the boss is still single. Talmbout “If I was in NYC I’d be married by now.” Yeah right, then why’d you leave?
@Me fail english?,
I know right? How you gonna hook up other folks when your ducks ain’t even in a row? I’m mad at her hustle though, cause it shoulda been me, lol.
@Nola Darling,
say what you want but vh1 has the market cornered on reality tv.
the surreal life.
good stuff
*gasp*
I just realized that Kelly (or was her name Nicole?) was the only black girl that Champ didn’t list as being fine. See? That’s why Kelly (Nicole?) had her “i’m not cute moment,” yall! Champ has singlehandedly brought her deepest fears to life, and sh*t.
But on a more introspective note, Kelly-Nicole was the only one I didn’t think was cute. And then I noticed she was the darkest one. So I had to look inside my spirit and ask, “Am I a colorist, Lawd!? Have I fallen victim to the paper bag mentality, Father!!??” But then I looked again and realized, “No. She’s just really not that cute.”
Actually I thought she was a pretty girl, but her mannerisms (tossing of hair that was not, in fact, there– for example) made her uncute, if that makes sense.
Or maybe nobody even remembers that part and yall won’t even know what the hell I’m talking about. Whatev. lol
@charli skipper,
hmm. this is a very long post. if i only i spent so much energy writing this final paper…
@charli skipper, I thought she was kind of funny looking but i think tyra took personal offense to her “whitest black girl’ claim to fame and personally set out to destroy her self confidence because why else keep her on the show to keep tearing her down like that? I mean at first I didnt like her and then I was like dang tyra….
@shay_d_lady,
@shay_d_lady,
me too! i didn’t like her at first. but when she started feeling insecure i was all talking back to my tv like, “GIRL! you are beautiful!” but when she did stuff like call her nose a snout i would have to regroup.
@charli skipper,
I believe the phrase was monkey mouth. SMH. Way to tear yourself down on national TV Kelly. However Tyra also said she looked like an otter on one of the shoots. There was another girl from “the hood” that Tyra went in on and let have. I think her name is Tiffany. Can’t remember the season though.
@Nola Darling, When she made that comment about her profile resembling the monkey, I wanted to kick her in the face. She took us back to KKK days on that one.
@Nicki Sunshine,
she was self hatred personified. and i’m not one to use the phrase “actin like a 2520 girl,” because that’s an ignorant statement. but at the same time, she was actin like a 2520 girl. the hair tosses reaaaaally bothered me.
i mean, no, 2520s do not have a patent on the hair flip. if it is in your face you flip it. but if you have no hair, you need not flip. i will assume you hate yourself. so sue me.
@Nicki Sunshine, “mean, no, 2520s do not have a patent on the hair flip. if it is in your face you flip it. but if you have no hair, you need not flip. i will assume you hate yourself. so sue me.”
I agree with you. i hate that statement but the act is there.. I get that I act like a 2520 all the time and HATE IT. lol. Like you said, they didn’t patent it!!!
@Nicki Sunshine,
Cosignage. I truly felt for her, but was angry at her at the same time. Sadness.
@charli skipper,
Or maybe nobody even remembers that part and yall won’t even know what the hell I’m talking about. Whatev. lol
yeah, i dont even remember that chick. must not have been fine
I co-sign on your list! I remember watching the final episode of the Apprentice and was so pissed that Omarosa stabbed Kwame in the back like that.
A couple of other ones that stick out:
Real World Back to NY – Coral made that show
Real World Las Vegas – Tons and tons of drama and almost half of the cast were black
@Leila,
