Chile Please- The Ultimate Catch

chad

A joke. Publicity stunt. It’s definitely not real. The show was rather lack-luster. The top 17 was pretty wack. The only standouts to me were Rubi and Tiphani. I think they have a lot in common and there’s genuine interest.

Additionally, I think a lot of Chad’s character was shown just by his picks. For example, there were 2 girls that he picked that looked to be 50 years old, easy. I’m still unable to decipher why he picked one and the other is big-breasted, so I figured that must have been it. She literally looks like a man.

Also a show of his character, is that he sent a girl home who talks too much but was willing to keep a female that was willing to talk to a fellow peer of his/his homeboy. Really? You’re okay with that?

It’s strange. This show is definitely nothing to get worked up about.

No one ever finds love on VH1: Flava Flav, Ray J, Real, Chance. It just doesn’t happen.

Chad is a pretty good looking dude, nice body, pretty decent personality (on Twitter), money, stature, the things women want. If he can’t find a chic on his own, without the assistance of Viacom, he’s not going to be able to find it with them. Reason being, you take 85 women that were probably picked at random. Then, he deleted half of the bunch based on looks alone. So his top 17 is really just a set of women who he was physically attracted to, who opted to be a part of his show for various reasons.

The reality is, half those chics are gold-diggers. The other half are there for whatever reason; real or fake. The probability of finding “The One” in this made-for-TV program… highly unlikely.

It’s sure to be another series of women chasing after one man, doing way too much, fighting with one another, and making a fool of themselves, only for him to not settle down with any of them when it’s all said and done.

You heard it here first. What are your thoughts?

Til next time, LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH!

Baseless Accusations-Reunion Special

basketball_wives-reunion

Rather underwhelming. I don’t know if it’s because we’ve seen all there is to see or if it was just a boring episode, but that was forty-five minutes of my time I could’ve spent doing something else.

Between Suzie and Sandra “The Groupie,” both of whom are irrelevant, it’s like take a seat. I look at Suzie as an “honorary member of the show,” the groupie continues to try to throw shots at Jen about her husband, but at the end of the day she’s a nobody, she’s a single mother; meaning she ain’t gotta man to call her own EITHER, and she’ll never be Jen. Period. So in essence, what she thinks or has to say doesn’t matter.

As I watched this show, I saw a circle of women with fake smiles plastered to their faces and I couldn’t help but wonder…when are they going to stop trying to live an “image” and start living their lives?

I’m glad Jen, Shaunie, Evelyn and Royce have been able to find a support system in one another, I hope that Gloria is not on the show next season, and I hope when Jen looks at this she sees that Suzie is not her friend.

Shaunie made a point I’ve been reiterating since the start of this show, at the end of the day, they look up and have no title to really be proud of, no title that really identifies THEM. “Wife,” “fiancĂ©e,” and “mother” are all important roles, but none of them speak to who these women really are. Find yourselves ladies, before you end up with that same title but “bitter,” “resentful,” “angry” or worse is attached to the front of it.

Til next season, this has been “Baseless Accusations.”

Baseless Accusations: Basketball Wives Pt. III

basketball wives

Disturbing. That’s the word that best describes the latest episode of Basketball “Wife, Exes & Girlfriends.”

Seriously, as I sat back watching this episode I couldn’t understand for the life of me what was going on with Evelyn.

1. Why was she so flippant and angry with Royce when the previous episode she was “looking out” for her?

2. Why did she feel the need to get super-duper drunk?

3. Why  was her boob hanging out her dress AND why didn’t her young ass date  put it back in for her or tell her it was out? He clearly ain’t checking for you Evelyn. Hell, maybe he was embarrassed. Rightfully so.

4. AND FINALLY… why was she so touchy or open to being touchy with Jen’s husband?

I say again. DISTURBING.

Royce is a standout this week. She’s continuously herself. She did a good thing out of the kindness of her heart in feeding the homeless and inviting the girls out to do the same. Not to mention, her only goal was to show these chics that there are worse situations than not being able to buy Louis Vuitton bags and Fendi glasses.

Royce catches a lot of hell, she’s a regular chic. She doesn’t need to be caught up on who’s watching her or trying to hide her law-given voice. Do YOU Royce. Either way it goes, good or bad, they’re still going to think of you as a piece of ****. Clearly.

Suzie, one, never had a state or government recognizable title so she should stop talking. Yeah talking (I won’t even classify that as giving advice) Just period. Forever. Everything she says is dumb or condescending. Stop talking!

She’s seriously, continuously suggesting that Jen cheat…that’s not going to change anything and she can’t say it worked for her, ‘cause she’s still a washed up EX.

Jen has a nice heart, I think for the most part. I will give her credit: she resists talking bad about Royce even though the other two ladies try to go “in” on her. She wants to give back and do better. Her biggest issue is trying to keep up appearances.

I understand not wanting to fail. No one glorifies or heightens their failures, but damn, girl, let it go. Ya dude is rubbing all up Evelyn’s thighs…Disturbing. He shows up late, doesn’t pay attention to what you’ve got going on…give it up.

They have bigger issues than him cheating. He’s an asshole. He can’t or won’t do better. That’s just who he is.

She’s quick to make allowances, like “hey, he showed up, maybe we have a chance.” Uhm…he showed up LATE. Clearly the things that are important to her aren’t important to him. She’s failing herself every day she continues to stay in this awful situation.

Disturbing.

‘Til next week, this has been Baseless Accusations. Let me know your thoughts. If you’ve missed and episode catch up online at http://www.vh1.com

Baseless Accusations: “Basketball Wives”

Let me start out by saying Vh1 has the best reality programming. Hands-down. Some might feel like they make “coons” and “buffoons” out of the people on the show. And to those people I say… that is neither here-nor-there! :) Vh1 does its job…it ENTERTAINS us.

Now if you’re not familiar with the characters I’ll take a moment to apprise you. FYI this is called baseless accusations because…well, just keep reading :)

evelyn
This is Evelyn (Lorada) she was the fiancee' to some guy for 10 years. (We’re not as much concerned about the men as we are the actual characters) She eventually tired of their relationship and they are “separated.” 

:record scratches: How are you “separated” when you were never married? I guess I can’t hate cause my girl Monica said the same thing about her and Rocko. (Different post)

Notice I didn’t say SHE left him. Because to date, I haven’t heard anything on the show indicating SHE was the one who initiated the separation. She did say it’d gotten to a point where she just couldn’t take it anymore, but she didn’t say she chunked deuces to him.

I like Evelyn, she’s uppity but still down to earth. Meaning, she worries about her reputation but in the grand scheme of things, when it comes down to being authentic, I think she is.
royce reed
Royce Reed. She’s funny in some respects and in others it’s like, “Come on chick, get it together.” She hasn’t been tainted by the fame of being Dwight Howard’s baby mama. But at 29, I want her to do a little bit better. For example, stay out of the bubble jackets and minimize the p-popping in a handstand. She’s very relatable in the sense that she has a carefree, say-what-you-want attitude. But on the flipside she is too old for some of the crap she does. Just because you look 16 doesn’t mean you should act it.
jennifer-williams
:sigh: Jennifer Williams. Not only is she the fakest, she’s the one I feel the sorriest for. She’s a walking prop. She’s so concerned with image but she’s the one who has it the absolute worst. Her husband, Eric Williams, some RETIRED basketball player is an ASSHOLE. Their marriage is in shambles, he’s NOT nice to her and she clearly doesn’t want to be there but doesn’t want to give up the “stuff.” That’s the only reason she’s around. He makes no public apology for cheating on her, talks to her like shit, doesn’t want to have kids with her. It’s like…

 RED FLAG!

This is only the beginning. We’ll get back to this.
gloria-govan-basketball-wives
Gloria Govan. She’s funny. Sometimes to her own detriment. She’s a fiancee'/baby mama. Ok, that’s fine, it “is what it is.” BUTTTT! She’s so cocky about her relationship with Matt Barnes that when it comes out that he’s cheating…and it will, no one is going to feel sorry for her. It’s one thing to have faith in your man. No problem with that. But to assume the rest of the women could “learn something” from you and that they’re “jealous” of y’all’s relationship is a bit out of line. Not to mention, homeboy is SUSPECT. He’s cheating on her. If yal’s relationship was so great and stable, why are you his BM and not his wife? C’mon. Baseless Accusation or future reality? I’m just saying.
shaunie_o_neal
Shaunie O’Neal is pimping these chicks. Period. She’s technically not on the show, ever, save random unwanted commentary. She tells them to get together or do certain things and they do it. And I’m sure just to use her name and image is getting her paid. I say again…PIMPING at it’s finest.
suzie-ketcham
Suzie Ketcham is as useless as Shaunie. She’s the ex-girlfriend of Michael Olowokondi. Exactly. She’s about as relevant as he is. But I will give her props for throwing a drink on the “groupie.” That was classic (as was the conversation that followed) Other than that…just another boogie chick who never really had a real position, but whom we’ll call a “wife” anyway.

Stay tuned for more BASELESS ACCUSATIONS. Be sure to leave comments regarding who your favorite “wife” is and anything else of relevance. You can catch previous episodes on http://www.vh1.com/
