I don't think Cashflow is really into rapping. If he was REALLY into his career and making it, he would have been ther. It seems like Carl Sr is trying to live out a fantasy through Cashflow.

What's the deal with next week, does Carl Sr want to use the money solely on Cashflow? :confused:

They were wrong for leaving her in the park, especially when Carl Sr KNEW she was uncomfortable.
The Malcolm X part tripped me out! :o

Octavia...I was like, he's working her like a hebrew slave. :eek: :o All she said was "okay". :mad:

Re: Re: i watched last night
 

I can't believe they left her in the park by herself either - that was wrong.

Cashflow - please!! That dad is putting everything (and neglecting his other kids) on a pipe dream! This kid may never blow up. But he should lit a fire under his arse for showing up late!

Can't wait until next week's episode!

But then he said (when she was showing him how to work the washing machine) that the clothes had been piled up since before his wife left!!! :mad: They woulda stayed right in the hamper until his wife got back OR he coulda got the real maid to help him!!!

I thought that Octavia was going to go off once she saw the cleaning lady. I mean, if he made her wash the clothes, wipe tabels, wrangle the pool hose, etc., what is the cleaning lady to do? I thought the cleaning lady was going to think that Octavia was moving in on her territory....

I can't figure out how Kelli could gang up with some other chicks to make fun of her own sister! You would think that she would try to defend her. Then they curse like sailors and Dad, nor Mom, says anything. Man, some people have it all and don't know how to act. They had me tripping when they were crying after Octavia told them that they were rude and disrespectful. They were only mad because the truth hurts!

I don't know if Octavia is really quiet and humble or if that's how she is appearing on TV. She just observes her surroundings. Even when they showed clips of her at home, she was just sitting quietly on the couch while Carl Sr. went on about the business with Cash Flow. I am happy that she isn't all hood, like I thought she might be.

That's what I thought too, because all the cleaning lady did was stare at Octavia.

Re: Re: i watched last night
 

omigoodness, i thought that was SOOOOOO RUDE!! i was like, "dude, why did u leave her?" i know she didnt move from that spot so with the family looking dumbfounded, that was just ridiculous.

like aka2d said, CLEARLY carl sr. is trying to live through is punk-azz kid. that lil bamma needs to be in school. pardon the language but pretty niggas make me sick.

i was sooo not feeling the white dad treating octavia like a damn servant.

next week will be interesting.

After the Malcom X comment, I would have left her rump in the park too! She needed a taste of her own "you-are-invisable-to-me" medicine. (I get sick and tired of some folks deciding WE are invisable to them, like we don't exist...until it suits their needs to have us around).

Besides, she must have blended in more then she stood out because I noticed not one person bothered her...in fact, it appeared they ignored her.... like she was part of the neighborhood fixture!

Ol'girl can come off as if she hasn't interacted/interfaced with other cultures all she wants...I get the impression (yep, from my one hour viewing I know) that she "knows" more about diversity then what she's letting on! I'm not buying her "acting" abilities of her so-called cultural shock.

Shalom~

Shalom,

Good assesment/observation regarding the blending. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

Did anyone else notice that the black mom pulled up in a black cab and the white mom in a white cab? OK, I'm thinking too hard... lol!

Anyway, Octavia has been my girl all the way up to the meeting. I mean, I know that Carl Jr. is her child and they believe in Cash Flow, :rolleyes: but Carl Sr. REALLY does but too much time into him. Hopefully his bombing out in that concert will show him the light. Why bring your child up to be a rapper? Why not a doctor? teacher? lawyer?

Tom's family was crazy!! That one chick was staring at her like she was ready to fight her or something! "What part of Africa are you from?" :eek: OoooooooooK....

Does anyone in the family believe that Lysse rebels more because she is treated like the black sheep of the family? DUHhhhh!!

ETA: Octavia and Carl Sr. are the bomb!! I appreciate that they didn't go crazy like the kids.

NOTE to "Cash Flow": Baby Boy, you are NOT going to blow up!! Start requesting your college applications now.

NOTE to Octavia: Ashanti's hair is a H.A.M. PLEASE stop perming it.

And why are his parents calling him "CashFlow"???? I wonder if Queen Latifah's mom calls her that or if DMX's parents call him X or Earl.

NOTE to Lynne: Renting "New Jack City" and "Malcolm X" (who was a major "character" in Harlem :eek: ) will not help you to relate to Black people. It's OK if you don't know. Get yourself to a museum or take a class or something....

Did anyone catch TS with the mom from FL with the "nerd" hubby? :o


Tonight's WS, the sista is IN CONTROL! :o :(

OMG did yall see the Caucasian's family house...and their BATHROOM no less!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

and there is a dead mouse just chilling under the living room table!!!! :eek: :eek:

DAYUM SHAME!
 

See, that's why when we have work pot-lucks....I.do.not. participate OR I find out who brought what. :o :eek:

Oh my gosh I can't believe they actually had a rat underneath their kitchen table and their bathroom was just disgusting. This is going to be a good swap.
