Full details of episode 1 & 2 of BOBBY AND WHITNEY SHOW

I got this from Whitney's website.
It's a detailed description from a Whitney fan who has seen the first two episodes:

Yup, I am def now of the view, Whitney has had it with the business. I think she will finish her contract, cause she owes them, but don't expect this huge comback, I just don't see it. And yes I believe this episode posting below, as it matches everything we have heard and been told, and sounds like Whitney and bobby. It's real sad, a shame.


EPISODE 1
>>Bobby goes up to two middle-aged white men in a restaurant and says that he's filming a Bobby Brown reality show. The men say they've heard of Bobby Brown but they obviously don't recognize that Bobby Brown himself is right in front of them and talking to them. Bobby says something like, "I'm Bobby Brown. You probably don't recognize me because I don't have an orange jumpsuit [jail uniform] on." Then Bobby puts his hands behind his back as if he were handcuffed. "Recognize me now?" he asks. They say yes. Then there are the opening credits. Bobby sings the theme song, which sounds like crackhead caterwauling. Seriously, the only lyrics are Bobby wailing over and over, "Being Bobby Brown."

Next we see that Bobby has just gotten out of jail and he's on his way to Boston to visit two of his kids, La Princia and Bobby Jr., the ones who are supposed to be getting child support from Bobby but his ass keeps gets hauled into court because he doesn't pay the child support. Bobby is very loving to the kids and if there's any bitterness over the child support issue, we don't see it. Kim Ward, the kids' mother, isn't shown. She probably didn't want to be filmed for this TV show. After Bobby leaves Boston, he heads to Atlanta where he is reunited with Whitney and their daughter, Bobbi Kristina. They have their reunion at a hotel. There's a scene where Bobby and Whitney are so happy to see each other, that they go in a room and close the door in Bobbi Kristina's face. Their daughter wants to come in but they won't let her. Anyone wanna bet that Whitney and Bobby were taking out their stashes at that point? Cut to the scene where Bobby and Whitney are in what looks like a hotel gift shop. They are looking at merchandise when all a sudden they start singing and dancing! The look on the store clerk's face is priceless. Next the family is taking a vacation at Paradise Island in the Bahamas. All three kids are with Bobby and Whitney. A hotel employee tells them that the hotel has closed off a swimming pool area so the family can have it to themselves for privacy. But that doesn't happen. As the family is having fun in the pool, tourists gather around to gawk and ask for autographs and pictures. Whitney gets annoyed and leaves the pool area, but Bobby loves the attention and happily poses for pictures with anyone who asks. Whitney starts complaining about not having any privacy. But how much privacy can you really expect to have when you have your own reality show cameras following you? And Whitney is wearing very loud and colorful diva scarves around her head. [sarcasm] Yes, that's the way to lay low and not draw attention to yourself.[/sarcasm]. Still in the Bahamas, Whitney and Bobby go out to dinner and they continue to attract attention. Whitney is acting like a diva: sometimes she'll let people pose for pictures with her and sometimes she won't. Bobby is relishing all the attention. You can tell he loves being recognized and treated like he's a big star. As they leave the restaurant, Whitney and Bobby start spontaneously dancing together again. This time it's a slow dance, and of course they make spectacles of themselves again.

By the end of episode 1, we see Bobby hitting nightclubs in the Bahamas without Whitney. We see several women dancing with him and some flirt with him and try to pick him up. He protests, "But I'm married!" But that doesn't stop him from letting a bimbo grind her ass into his crotch area as she dances with him. Next we see the family gathered for breakfast. When they're done, the kids are playing on the beach. Whitney and Bobby stay at the dining room table. Bobby mentions Whitney's father (who passed away in 2003) and Whitney starts crying on Bobby's shoulder. Bobby says he's sorry he brought her father up in the conversation and he comforts Whitney. Awww, isn't that sweet? See? Crazy junkies have a soft side. END OF EPISODE 1.<<


EPISODE 2
>>Bobby and Whitney are headed to court, where Bobby has to answer charges that he physically assaulted Whitney. He gets off easy since Whitney refuses to press charges. We see Whitney cackling when the judge announces that Bobby will just get probation. After court, Bobby and Whitney along with some friends, are shown eating at a restaurant. Whitney starts talking crazy, saying something like how there are little monsters attached to people's stomachs. "There are these little bugs, on the walls of your stomach ... There's a booger in there, he's got two fangs," Whitney says. Then she starts talking about colonics and Bobby gets mad because he doesn't want to hear that kind of talk when he's eating. "Stop talking about asses in front of my food," he says. "Shyt, I can't even chew my food," Bobby barks.Whitney just laughs.

Then we see Bobby and Whitney are at a spa. Before they get their massages, Whitney asks for some lotion so she can put it on Bobby's feet. We get a closeup of Bobby's feet and they are the NASTIEST feet I've ever seen, EVER. They look like homeless crackhead feet. Bobby refuses to let Whitney be massaged by another man, so the spa has to get a female masseuse for Whitney. While Whitney and Bobby get massaged side by side, Bobby starts being dramatic and starts groaning and saying things like "Yes, that feels great." He's basically making sex noises to get a reaction out of Whitney and possibly make her jealous but she mainly just laughs. We almost see Bobby's naked ass when the masseuse lifts up the towel to massage him there, but thankfully we don't see his ass. Seeing Bobby's nasty feet is traumatic enough. Next Whitney is getting her makeup done in a bathroom at the spa and Bobby is sitting nearby on the lid of a toilet. This is where the infamous "constipation" conversation takes place, with Bobby talking about putting his fingers up Whitney's ass to get rid of her constipation. The woman applying Whitney's makeup says, "That's love." Then Whitney repeats, "That's love! That's love! That's black love!" By the end of episode 2, viewers see Whitney and Bobby head to an upscale restaurant. They get the chef's room all to themselves and they proceed to order what is probably half the menu. Bobby says he likes to eat a lot. (Yes, we know that marijuana gives people the munchies.) The chef, who at first looks pleased to see them, starts to have this look of horror and dread when he sees how much food they're ordering. You can tell he's thinking, "Damn, this is gonna be a long night!" After dinner, Whitney says her shoelaces are untied. She's wearing strappy heels and she demands that Bobby tie her shoes for her. He does but he's so high, er... I mean, uncoordinated, that he has trouble tying the laces. Whitney and Bobby then leave the restaurant to do God knows what. END OF EPISODE 2.<<


==For anyone who reads the spoilers, nothing described can really fully prepare you for this train wreck until you actually see it for yourselves. Everyone who said that this Bobby Brown show will make Britney & Kevin's reality show look like "Masterpiece Theatre"...you were right. There are times when Bobby and Whitney need captions on this show because of their mumbling and slurred speech. Even Ozzy Osbourne didn't have captions in his show. "Being Bobby Brown" could be a PSA for a "Just Say No to Drugs" campaign.==

Also here is an article from The New York daily news who have also seen previews of the show

www.nydailynews.com/enter...0938c.html


BEING BOBBY BROWN
June 30, Bravo, 10 p.m.

Move over Nick and Jessica, there's a new celebrity couple ready to take over your reality show mantle - Bobby Brown and wife Whitney Houston.

Indeed, where Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were cute, sweet and often goofy on their MTV show, Brown and Houston are downright freaky.

It's hard to watch "Being Bobby Brown" - the new Bravo reality show on Brown and Houston - without wondering, what the heck were they thinking?

Maybe they weren't.

Houston, once a mega-star, comes off in the first two episodes looking weird, thin, detached and, at times, out of it. Brown, best known for his run-ins with the law, comes off as, well, likable.

"I'm not a bad guy," Brown says at one point. "I don't rob anybody. I don't carry any guns. I like guns - call me a collector."

Make that almost likable.

There's a wonderful scene in a restaurant when Brown is freed after charges of slapping his wife.

"They gave me a 35-minute lecture on what our foods do to our system," Houston tells the posse while they're eating. "There are these little bugs, on the walls of your stomach ... There's a booger in there, he's got two fangs."

Brown appears to get angry.

"Stop talking about asses in front of my food," he says. "S---, I can't even chew my food."

Viewers soon will forget Simpson's classic Chicken of the Sea gaffes - and they won't want to look away at this freak parade.

Houston goes around most of the time with her head covered by a long scarf and often bristles when fans ask for autographs or look on while she's swimming.

"Y'all don't understand what it's like being my wife," Brown says. "People be on her 2-4/7."

Brown, meanwhile, revels in the attention.

"We're shooting a reality TV show for Bobby Brown," Brown tells two older men at a restaurant in the first show.

"I've not met Bobby Brown," one man says, not recognizing the man standing before him.

"I'm Bobby on a regular basis," Brown says. "I'm not in an orange jumpsuit. That's why you probably don't recognize me."

He then puts his arms behind his back as if in handcuffs.

"Recognize me now?" he says.

Hey, you can't say Brown doesn't have a sense of humor.

"Being Bobby Brown," which will air Thursdays at 10 p.m. starting June 30, is no documentary. Footage was shot by Brown's crew and then sold to Bravo, which makes this more interesting. Because from the stuff that did make the cut, one wonders what they left out.

And fear not, this is no "Chaotic" with Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, which consists of choppy hand-held video shot by the couple. Brown, seeking image rehabilitation, paid a team to shoot his show.

"Being Bobby Brown" provides a fascinating look at two fallen and faded stars, who will never again be America's darlings - like Nick and Jessica - but who are still fun to watch for just that reason.

Where Nick and Jessica were fun, Brown and Houston are like getting a closeup view of a train wreck without actually getting on the tracks. We don't need to see this, but we'll look anyway.

And from the New York Times...



Bobby Brown, serious about his new cable television series.

Bobby Brown Is Back, in Reality TV

By LOLA OGUNNAIKE

On the first episode of his new reality series, the beleaguered R&B singer Bobby Brown pokes fun at his extensive rap sheet and his bad boy reputation. "Maybe you don't recognize me because I'm not in an orange jumpsuit," he tells two middle-aged men dining in a fashionable restaurant. Mr. Brown then turns around and places his hands behind his back as if he's being handcuffed. (It is a stance that he has become quite accustomed to over the years.) "Recognize me now, don't you?"

He may joke about his criminal record, the tabloid headlines and reports of a rocky marriage, but Mr. Brown, 35, is quite serious about using his new series, "Being Bobby Brown," to set the record straight about his life. "On a daily basis, I'm trying to prove my point, that I'm more good than I am bad."

The series, which begins next Thursday night at 10 on the cable channel Bravo, chronicles Mr. Brown's exploits over the last six months. Watch Bobby Brown narrowly avoid prison, party in the Bahamas and pose for pictures with adoring fans. Watch him dance a jig at a local Chinese eatery and pick the lock on his hotel room mini bar.

Lounging in a conference room at the Waldorf-Astoria one recent afternoon, Mr. Brown said he had cameras following him 24 hours a day, logging more than 3,000 hours of film.

"I didn't want them to miss anything," said Mr. Brown, a devout believer in the all-press-is-good-press doctrine. "I wanted them to get the ups and downs and the good and bad because that's what made me."

"I'm not ashamed of any of it," he later added. "I'm not going to run and I'm not going to hide. They're going to talk about me anyway - thank God. I just want to control it."

The idea for a reality series came out of a conversation he had two years ago with his children - Landon, 18; La Princia, 16; Bobby Jr., 14; and Bobby Kristina, 12. "I was in jail, and they were like 'Dad, your friend Flavor Flav has a reality show," he recalled. " 'When you get out, you should do a reality show.' " Upon his release, Mr. Brown linked up with two Atlanta television producers who were intrigued by the constant press Mr. Brown and Whitney Houston, his wife of 14 years, generated. "Outside of all the negative blurbs, we wanted to know what else is there to these people," said Tracey Baker-Simmons, an executive producer of the show. A pilot episode was shot and sent to Bravo, where it took the network's president, Lauren Zalaznick, only 15 minutes to greenlight the series. "I'm not someone that buys something in the room," Ms. Zalaznick said. "I'm a ruminator. But it was very apparent to me that this was something right for Bravo. This is very tactile. You feel something when you watch this show."

Though the show is a Bobby Brown vehicle, Ms. Houston figures prominently. She lovingly greets her husband when he returns from a stint in jail. She is there with him in court when he faces domestic abuse charges brought by her. And when Mr. Brown is given a slap on the wrist, it is she who enjoys a romantic dinner with him the evening following his court date.

Among the many things viewers learn about the couple: Ms. Houston snores loudly, Mr. Brown uses Preparation H to treat bags under his eyes and the two enjoy a very active sex life. In a voice that is meant to be sultry, Mr. Brown asks his wife, "Can I impregnate you?" To which she quickly responds, "You tried to impregnate me all last week." In one of the show's more uncomfortable moments, Mr. Brown freely discusses how he helped relieve his constipated wife.

But those expecting a train wreck will have to settle for a major fender bender. While "Being Bobby Brown" has its share of bizarre moments, viewers are also given an opportunity to see Mr. Brown as both a doting father and loving husband, one who often doles out hugs and kisses. And he admits to being an overprotective dad.Note the advice he gives to his daughter La Princia: "If someone ever tries to kiss you, smack 'em!"

Still, a sliver of Mr. Brown's bad boy side was apparent early last week. Though he was nattily dressed in designer jeans, a white vest and matching sneakers, his cornrows appeared fuzzy and in dire need of rebraiding; his eyes were a tad bloodshot. When not answering questions in a near whisper, he struggled to stay awake, even nodding off for a moment during the interview. Was Mr. Brown bored? "No," he replied. "I'm just tired." It turns out the singer had spent the previous evening in the edit room for his show and in the studio recording a track for his new album, which he hopes to release independently this fall. "There's a lot going on right now," he said with a sheepish grin.

Mr. Brown said Ms. Houston, who recently completed a drug rehabilitation program at a center in the Caribbean, is, "doing great." He added: "She looks good. She smells good. Her eyes are shining again. It's beautiful."

In a 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer, Ms. Houston admitted to experimenting with prescription pills, cocaine and alcohol, but vehemently denied smoking crack because "crack is wack." Mr. Brown, in the same interview, confessed to smoking marijuana every other day to deal with his bipolar disorder. He has since slowed down on his cannabis consumption, he said. Instead of "self-medicating," he added, he now takes prescribed drugs.

"I go to a real pharmacist," the singer saidwith a chuckle.

Mr. Brown also played down reports of domestic violence in his home; it was just play-fighting gone awry, he said, claiming that most of the time it's his wife and not him who is landing the blows. "You'll see on this show just how well Whitney fights," he promised. "Whitney is nobody's punk. She's tough."

In addition to his reality series, Mr. Brown hopes to jumpstart his music career, which took a turn for the worse several years ago after a successful run in the late 1980's and early 90's, first as a member of the boy group New Edition and then as a pelvic-thrusting solo artist ("My wife calls me pump master," Mr. Brown said.).

With this show, Mr. Brown and Ms. Houston join the growing list of celebrity couples cashing in on their high-profile unions, but the singer claims that he did not do the series for the money. "I wrote 'Prerogative,' " he said referring to the royalties he receives from his 1988 hit, "My Prerogative." "I'm just fine and my kids are fine."

Having a reality series may have inadvertently helped Mr. Brown stay on the straight and narrow, he said. It's a little more difficult landing in trouble when there are cameras around. "Somebody's got to behave," said Mr. Brown, who laughs easily. He stopped short of pronouncing his hell-raising days behind him, but Mr. Brown said he was intent on leading a more low-key life.

"I pray on every Bible in this country that I never see jail again," Mr. Brown said. "I'm going to work hard to preserve my life and make my kids proud."

Television has hit an alltime low. I don't think that will watch it b/c it is too embarassing and sad to see a tragedy unfold in front of my eyes b/c I have fond memories of the great talented diva Whitney once was at one time.

nod It would be great to see Whitney make a comeback. However, I don't think it will be possible until she gets Bobby out of her system. Speaking of Bobby, after the shit aide statement, he seriously should avoid Dateline b/c everyone is going to be thinking in the back of their mind the following: Did this guy wash his hands? lol

You are right, I can't even front! However, Whitney likes her relationship - she's not an angel this girl is from the bricks- the best guy she probably dated was Eddie Murphy and you see how long that lasted - and then she dated the biggest crack-head of them all at the time Darryl Strawberry -- I think she's attracted to men who like to fuck up their career-- so somewhere along the line it turned from sad to funny -- boxed I'm so ashamed!-- but back to your point it is definitely a sad situation.

crack is wack edit! giggle
