Rewind back about a year ago... i was one of those people who hated all reality shows, no matter the topic or the cahracters/cast.
fast-forward to present day, and i am now an avid fan of ;pve & hip hop, basketball wives, basketball wives la and the braxton family values. my next target is : the real housewives of atalnta.
at first it was only love & hip hop that i watched, at the recommendation of my older sister. before that i'd been a fan of several shows including flavor of love anf big brother.
with love & hip hop, i found it interestng mostly because of emily bustamante story about her realtionship with fablous. eventually, the other characters (chrissy, olivia and somaya) also grew on me. along with season 2 came the introduction of yandy and kimbella. as emily was and still is my favourite character, i instantly hated kimbella and loved seeing her be punched in the face by chrissy. as the series continued and people claimed that kimbella was growing on them, i still found her and her mannerisms annoying and found it amusing when she got into it with erica mena. the season ended on a sour note for kimbella, what with karma being a bitch and all. she's pregnant again to some irrelevant rapper who cheats on her. better luck next time hun.
follwing the end of love & hip hop season two, i felt at a loss and my friend was trying to coerce me into watching bad girls club, which didn't sound like it would be my type of show, so i opted for bnasketball wives instead. i instantly fell in love with evelyn lozada (no homo) and thought she was the best person in the whole cast. jennifer williams is irritating. she talks like an airhead and she blatantly is boojie! as much as she likes to deny it, thats what she is. she suddenly seems to think she's hot stuff and has developed a nasty attitude in season 4. not a good look! shaunie o'neal and tami roman come in joint second place for me as they're both just real bitches, who don't front and aren't phoney like jennifer. royce was okay until the season 2 reunion where she also suddenly developed an attitude. suzie needs to keep her mouth sdhut and shouldn't say things like 'i'm back in the circle' bitch you're like 35, grow up!
one weekend i went to visit a friend at her boring university and we stumbled across the braxton family values. i can hardly remember the nam,es coz there are so many t's but tamar needs to be slapped down! she is not all that, she beeter just accept that she will always live in toni's shadow and move on. but at the same time, tamar is my favourtie cast member
then came basketball wives la. my favourite cast member from here is definitely draya michele howard who apparently will not be on the second season (boo!). at first, i bought into all the rumours about her being a bad mother, a jumpoff and a hoe etc but i grew to love her. second place on the show for me was laura govan coz she was just great and talked nasty lol.. now, that jackie woman... whoo! she is nuts with a capital n.. she twisted everything people were saying, including her and made it seem like she was the good guy and the rest of them all hated each other. her conspiracy theories which she liked to call 'being psychic' lead to her predicting her own fate in hawaii. she predicted that somebody would have their ass handed to them and it ended up being her after lies and bitchiness was uncovered.
i am currently eagerly (and impatiently!) awaiting the next episode from the fourth season of basketball wives, season 3 of love & hip hop, love & hip hop atlanta and the next season of basketball wives la (hopefully with draya on it!)
once you watch one good show, you're hooked for life and end up trying all different types
i apologise for any typo's or spelling errors as a typed this really fast :)
