REALITY ROUND-UP #292: CURRENT REALITY SHOW CYCLES FOR CELEB APPRENTICE, BB WIVES,HOUSEWIVES, MOMS & EVERYBODY ELSE! Couldn't access the last reality show thread , so thought it was time to bring back the latest on our favorite mess makers on prime time tv.
While a lot of shows are on the last stretch sliding into home, a lot of new show cycles are springing up like daisies and there's more drama for your mama than ever
CELEBRITY APPRENTICE featuring Arsenio Hall, Tersea Giudice, Debbie Gibson, Clay Aiken, Lisa Lampanelli, Aubrey O'Day, George Takei, Dee Schneider, Victoria Gotti and lord knows who else
BETHENNY EVER AFTER featuring Bethenny as a matchmaker for Hoda Kotb on the Today Show, Gina the Jamaican ex-baby nurse, and a home office filled with wall to wall booties and no room to walk through and have a normal life with her husband and baby.
BASKETBALL WIVES I don't know why, but there are about 27 women in the cast this season
BIG RICH TEXAS
On STYLE TV---this is some seriously unexpected juiciness. Centered around a suburban Dallas country club, it's got bimbos, hardcore Dynasty style villainesses, people doing out of town spy missions on each other, and some serious grifters . More interesting than the BRAVO wife franchise at times, and I think I've actually worked with one of those women before when she was a model (about 16-17 years ago). So far the people I turned on to the show say it's pretty good filler between Housewives episodes and so over the top. it doesn't disappoint. If you want a link out of curiosity to test it out, orgnote me..
KHOLE & LAMAR
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MIAMI
JOAN & MELISSA
We're smack in the middle of MOB WIVES
and then it's nearly time to wrap up Braxton Family Values, Real Housewives of Atlanta, TI & Tiny- The Family HUSTLE, Baseball Wives, and I don't know what else.
If I forgot your favorite reality show, be sure to add it to the talk list , until then then, kick back and discuss! [Edited 3/5/12 12:34pm] | |

OMG Teresa's on Celebrity Apprentice. That might be worth the watch.
I almost bought some of Bethenny's brand. She's everywhere now. Good for her.
I thought "lil bit" left the show? Like her shoes.

It's week 3 and Teresa is still on and hasn't made a PEEP. The girls just shot her down in favor of Miss Universe for project manager this week, and she took it very well. She's just falling in line as a team player and seems to be just watching and waiting for her big moment.
Bethenny: I'm actually interested in reading her book "From the Place of Yes", I remember when people usued to try to put women her age out to pasture like old, unwanted bovine- it's nice to see a woman some into her own and make her wildest dreams come true at 40+.
Little Bit (Royce) was rumored to be initially quitting because her exposure on the show was painting her in a bad light and messing up her other opportunities: after all she is one of the only cast members who has her degree, and has a job not tied into money she received from an athlete boo (the college book series, dance company and so on). The other producers at VH1 said that they would be willing to film her actually working, and moving towards life goals, so that i combo with the check made her stay.

For Apprentice I'm late to the party. I better catch up.
Bethanny is the queen. Only reason I didn't buy her product because I really didn't need them and I'd only be buying cause her name is on it and I'm on a strict budget. But I wanted to so bad, it was cute too, some makeup and stuff. Even saw her skinny girl drinks too. I gotta read her book though, too. See something positive women are doing.
I might just have to start back to watchin'. I got a bit upset when they let her go. Right now, I'm at a point if I wanna hear folks talkin' smack and smacking the crap out of each other, I'd watch wrestling. That's just me right now. | |

I haven't watched one episode of BBall wives and won't. Just can't. I did want to catch the Celeb Apprentice but I keep forgetting it comes on Sunday...the same night "The Walking Dead", "Mob Wives" and "RHOA" comes on. That's a lot of damn juggling in one night I can't get into RHOOC, it's boring as hell. The latest season of Top Chef was completed last week...oh but "Sweetie Pies" new season starts March 31st I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

i missed some episodes of real housewives of the OC because i was out of town, and when i got back i had company staying with me. but i've tried to catch up. so far i'm bored, maybe next week will be better? i think someone is having a 80's party & there is supposed to be some drama going on.
i think i've missed a lot of the atlanta housewives too, i saw an episode last night though after they all come home from africa, and kandi and sheree were fighting over something.
kandi factory came on after the atlanta housewives with a 90 min. show, but i couldn't get pass the first 20 mins.....
khloe and lamar last night.....meh. | |

Well so far on BB Wives, Royce has become rather serious and ambitious. She's up in Harlem moving and shaking, she landed a play off Broadway and is working with black charities. I don't know if the producers felt pressure from their viewing audience because the show became too trashy or what, but it looks like a couple of the girls are being more sober this season and trying to show themselves in a different light. Evelyn, unfortunately, is still petty and we can see from upcoming previews still trying to fight people like a screaming barefoot banshee. [Edited 3/6/12 4:09am] | |

I think Victoria Gotti is interesting as a media personality, but I just felt like she didn't step up to the plate enough for the challenges in this show. She whined about whatever tasks she was given, then threatened to plead her case directly to Trump if she didn't get her way; that's not team playing, that's holding your team hostage due to your own whims and ego. I like her though, I guess she didn't fit well into this competition format | |

Saw a couple of episodes of "Bethanny Ever After" last night...let me tell ya, I was rolling Bethanny is a trip. Somehow I really feel like she isn't faking the funk and not "posing" for television like her other reality tv contemporaries do. What you see with Bethanny is what you get. That's why she was my favorite on RHONYC. I had to fallout laughing in last week's episode when she went on a mini vacation with her girlfriends and their children to Montauk when they went to some bar and this midget guy dressed in a superhero's uniform kept calling Bethanny Ben Franklin meaning to call her Bethanny Frankel Hilarious! I also love seeing Bethanny with her little baby, it's so adorable and you can tell that she is working overtime trying to be a better parent than what her parents were to her. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

BB Wives:
Last week, Evelyn broaches the cheating topic with Chad, with him basically dodging the question yet at the same tim practically he can't commit, and Evelyn essentially gives him a hall pass as she pleads with him tearfully to tell her first if he sleeps with other women, and to please wear condoms. WTH?
Tammi's scenes at the therapist to work out her anger issues were touching: who knew she had been abused so badly throughout her life? Raped twice, held at gunpoint band tortured for four days before, may she has been brutalized before in her life---
Susie (as we saw last week) has become an assanine hot mess, with a VERY cocky attitude now that she's back in Evelyn's good graces, and she spends every second just foaming at the mouth to start conflict . Now that her place in the circle is re-instated, she#s being an ass to Royce, and to me it looks like she was just using Royce last season to stay relevant and have an in to the group and the show. This week she was embarrassing Royce by being a drunk fool at her fundraiser in Harlem for a Bone Marrow Drive for "Preserve our Legacy" Foundation. Kinda messed up because this was connected to local politicians and Suzy was so loud she was practically heckling them

Mob Wives this week was uneventful...the only thing worth noting is that even if Junior wasn't cooperating with the Feds, this relationship was DOOMED. Renee, nobody in their right mind wants to be with some shrieking shrew of a woman who spends every waking second screaming with the communication skills of a toddler whose toy has been taken away. It doesn't matter if it's Junior and about his transgressions, she is the type of woman that is going to blow up like this in a discussion with her partner no matter who he is. Watching the way she explodes into hysterics during the most basic conversations makes me want to just stick a cannoli in her mouth | |

True, but he was equally as childish. He doesn't get his way then he walks around saying little to nothing, even after an apology has been made. These two deserved each other. And them dressing up as inmates to the Halloween parties may had been a barrel of laughs to the others but to me, it was kind of sad. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

That was messed up. I was like , "what's so funny about that? Don't y'all men be shootin' people in the mouth ?"
And I hear what you're saying about Renee and Junior...but girl I just can't stand all that screaming and hollering during a discussion, I just can't do it, chile! | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Oh no doubt, that screaming and yelling is irritating to me as well. I usually lose interest for at least that part in the episode and pick up a magazine until they move on to the next segment. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Royce's boob job looks crazy. She look like a damn child with 34 DDs. She should have gone for a C cup. And did y'all see the back of her head? Ole girl is missing some tracks.
Somebody needs to tell Ev that Chad aint gonna wife her. She on that installment plan! And wtf? You givin' that negro permission to cheat on you? FAILURE x 10,00!!!!!
Celebrity Apprentice is just too damned I can't with that bullshit.
I missed Khloe & Lam Lam. Did they show him getting traded yet? That's what I want to see.
I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Anyone see RHOA this week?
What I learned:
-I was rooting for Kim at the beginning of the season, but now my opinion of her is back to where I was with her last season...stuck on stupid.
-Maybe if NeNe wasn't so busy trying to be best buds with Marlo and making sure her designer shoes and clothes were being packed by a maid with her arm in a sling (or was it a cast?) and paying her dumb son some attention, he wouldn't be getting locked up for stealing two razors out of Wal-Mart.
-Sheree is and ALWAYS has been an institgator. Funny how she calls people out on their shit but never on herself. She easily forgot that on the safari where the infamous "Kim" conversation took place Sheree, HERSELF, was nodding her head and agreeing to what both Cynthia and Kandi were saying. And if she had a problem on what they were saying, then she would had corrected them both on the spot, yes?
-It's great that Kandi is outspoken and gives her opinion, however, there's a time and a place to give opinions. They can sometimes be blown up and out of proportion (which is what happened) or misconstrued (which is what also happened too).
-Phaedra is funny as hell!
Next week's previews: Umm Peter can't seem to stand not hitting below the belt. It'll be interesting to see Mal's reaction to Peter's constant rudeness at he and Cyn's one year anniversary party (who in the hell has a one year anniversary party anyway?). I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

^ Kim and Sheree have NOT known each other for 10 years. They just met through Nene during season 1. Kim has known Nene for 10 years. Maybe all black folk look alike to kim. Maybe her wig is still squeezing her brain. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!

Phaedra has kept me laughing . She has truly been the saving grace of the show this season. Lord next week--- why is she so damn slap happy to be in enbalming class. Crazy fool ?
how wrong is it of me when Cynthia said 'I really didn't call peter alot while I was in S. Africa' that I blurted out, "GOOD !!!"
...and why is pulling Nene aside for sidebar conversations on her life, and giving confessional talking head interviews like he's one of the Housewives???
Sheree...tacky. Now just 2 years ago she was trying to snatch Kim's wig off her head, now she's Kim's best friend? And that gleeful little grin of hers while Kim & Kandi were going back and forth . I guess since she can't make money with a career like the rest of the cast, she can't keep up with them. Now she's up Kim's butt -I imagine so she can have a connection to the NFL and its' social circle. 'Cause let's be real, outside her hairdresser friends, who's really checkin' for Sheree?
As for Kim herself? Can she please drop the whining Scarlet O'hara act already...an how the hell do you not know your employee's work history enough to not know that before they were your maid they were a nanny for 7 years? Good grief. | |

Had to comment on this.
Kim- This heiffer here needs to stop. I get what Khandi is saying about her bringing up her nursing degree. Sorry, but when is the last time she worked in that field? Or worked at all, let alone volunteered? And since when are she and Shreree so tight? Didn't Sheree try to yank her wig off in the middle of the street?
Nene- Her son Bryson - I'm sorry but that dude is 21 years old. And this is not his first trip to the klink for something stupid. Fool is on parole as it is. I'd have left his butt there too. But she does need to back away from Marlo just a sec.
Sheree- agree with all that. Does she think ingratiating herself with Kim will get her an intro to another football player via Kroy or something?
Khandi - what she should have said was not only do I not see you in an African orphanage, I don't see you in ANY orphanage ... period.
Phaedra - agreed she's just And the looks on her face sometimes just say "here these bitches go again with this high school BS". But I like the slick way she took to to check on Marlo's story about Chateau Sheree, and drive past the dirt lot to look at the overgrown weeds.
Peter and Cynthia's anniversary party: Please. What.A.Frontin'.Jackass. Why can't you just take the woman to a top flight restaurant and have a couples Spa Weekend away or something. Idiot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Holy crap I hadn't even gotten to your post yet and you beat me to the punch and pointed out all the same BS I did.
Peter go somehere and sit down. Since he didn't bail Bryson out of jail why is it his business to speak on it. Who ever said it before was right Peter and Cyn are the Alex and (creepy husband) from RHONYC of this show. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
