Basketball Wives
 

No thread already? :confused:

I LOVE THIS SHOW and it is my new guilty pleasure.

I won't start my rant until I'm not the only one who watches this show. :o

I've never seen the show, but did catch a bit of tonight's episode. Guess I should catch up more before I make any further comments. lol

I've watched them. It's like a train wreck... I feel sorry for the people but I can't stop watching and waiting for fatalities.

Ooooo! Im watching too! I kinda love it!

The Matt guy-- he so acted like a cheater and his wife needs to go holla at the same therapist as Chili because her young ass thinks way too highly of herself. How are you gonna have a group of "friends" and then spazz when they ask about your sister being a whore who slept with Shaq who's wife IS their actual friend and the producer of the show who asked them to bring you in to the fold?

I LOVED Jenn's face when she saw the groupie hoe who tried to get with her hubby walk up. The groupie was like "arent you Jennifer" and Jenn was like "Yea Im Jen you know who I am" lol. I love her! Overall I love Jenn.

Royce--She's like a 30 year old high school girl. She's a parent but she thinks, acts, dresses, and generally IS just like a highschool girl.

Royce is pretty but looks like a teenager. She acts like a teenager. I'm sooo sad that's the woman from the "How Low Can You Go" dance-off video. She doesn't look good when she's really dressed up and it's not because she has small breasts.

I firmly believe that the producers arranged the alleged groupie to walk by their dinner. It's like on "The Hills" when the producers would stage confrontations. It was a hilarious confrontation and I LOVE that she threw the drink at her. Funny as hell.

Jenn (is that the overbite king's wife?) is funny but annoying. She's so damn miserable and she makes sure everyone knows it and can join her pity party. Why can't that woman call you a gold digger if you call her a groupie? Afterall, a miserable spouse needs to get out the house. I'm a rapper in my spare time.

The new member of the group is very pretty. Her husband looked so nervous at dinner when they were talking to her about infedility and athletes. I hope that was for the cameras and that NO ONE would attempt to convince someone that their man might be cheating, especially in front of the man. I wanted to tell those two women: what you eat doesn't have to make everyone else defecate--don't walk around trying to get everyone on your damn depressed team.

Shaunie O'Neal seems real cool. Congrats on an entertaining show. I definitely believe this show is on the "payback's a bitch" tip when it comes to dealing with Shaq and the other loose penised athletes. Afterall, why else would Shaunie attempt to befriend a woman whose sister supposedly sexed Shaq? RATINGS. $$$$$. CHA-CHING!

I'll end my rant there. :)

I watch it when I'm with my lady...

Just confirms my dislike of "reality" shows. These women, there is only like 2 actual wives, are the epitome of everything negative about women.

Fixed that for you.

Thanks for sharing.

LOL Well played and so true.

LOL. I was like "did he miss where Jenn's husband was basically defending (some would say "explaining") infedility?" LOL.

Okay, so reality shows suck. But, is there anything in particular that made you chuckle or raise an eyebrow?

Closest thing that comes to mind is how they try to force the younger girl to be like them. I do like how she tries to remain herself and not conform. Royce is her name I think...the booty shaker lol.

Did No Drawers from College Hill grow up to be on this show?

You like Royce? LOL. Should I be surprised? ;)

I think she's okay. Kind of nice and sweet in her youthful ignorance. LOL. But, she's also ill-equipped for hanging with grown folks who don't p-pop all over the place. I don't know whether she's being herself so much as she's used to hanging around a certain type of environment. A dancer environment, a younger environment, a "baby mama" environment---I dunno. She shouldn't hang with them and become a notorious "basketball baby mama," either but she already did that on her own with that youtube video and agreeing to be on this show.

Ha. I don't think so, but Tammy from the Real World should've been on there to showcase or ex-husband's money.

Quite ironic that you chose to look at the women's flaws (despite all they may have been through) and not that of the men in their lives.:rolleyes: Remember that keeping company with dogs can make you have fleas as well.

Don't be a typical man please, so ready to put women down, and try to see things from all angles.

Yes, I remember seeing him. I think it was at a party the ladies went to. I'll have to watch the episode again to pinpoint the scene; it was the most recent episode.

I think there's a lot more going on with Royce (usually is when women pop crotch all over the place for no reason). She's probably very insecure with herself...might have to do with looking like a 15 year old and never being taken seriously. Ya think?

lol

I know I should google it, but how old IS Royce?? I've seen a couple episodes and everytime I look at it I think, "Is that girl old enough to do all those suggestive movements?" I've always known she was Dwight Howard's baby mama (well ever since she birthed that child) but she looks 12.

I can't stand most of the women anyways, and everything definitely does look staged....takes the fun outta it.

Oh trust me, shady men get no pass from me. Just the show is about the wives so I focus on them :D

From the few episodes I've seen she seems to be the one that doesn't seek out drama.

I admit my ability to tolerate these types of shows, or any "reality" show for that matter, is quite low.

Did you miss her whole popping her coochie to the beat at every available opportunity? Thats seeking out drama. Nothing but drama can come from a mom doing that.

That's one of the few episodes I've seen and I don't really consider her doing that drama seeking. Attention seeking definitely, but not drama seeking. I guess to me a good portion of the other women deliberately seek out confrontations when they aren't necessary. She hasn't done that from what I've seen.

For some odd reason I like Jennifer.

Shaunie's personality comes across as exciting as hot dog water.

Royce. Bless her heart.

I love how those hags were trying to come at Gloria all crazy and she shut it down. LOL

LOL!!

Royce is a parent?!

HA! agrees with everything.

Yeah she has a son. She's Dwight Howard's baby's mama.

I wanted to put a face to the names of some of these basketball players.
Googled Dwight Howard and as I started to type in Howard's name "dwight howard baby mama" actually came up as option to select. LOL

I know Dwayne and Siohvaughn Wade aren't on the show, but the judge in their divorce case has ordered her arrested. She didn't show up on Monday for their divorce hearing and it seems that she's been acting really spoiled and childish concerning custody of the children.

I love it too and said the same ting: it is my new guilty pleasure.

Well this and watching the gangsta boos of Joizee. (RHWNJ)

I did want to add that I like Royce so far. besides the booty shaking episode, she is the only one who does not seem to actively court silly confrontations.

But just like the rhw series, only ONE of the women is married: Jennifer. Gloria, despite her insufferable attitude, is still a baby momma with a ring. She needs to wake up and realize that.

I do find it interesting how Shaunie led them all to the cliff and watched them fall off. She is nowhere to be found in the latest episodes and I think it is because she doesn't want to be seen associating with the drama.

She isn't married? :confused:

Oh helllll no, I'm so tired of that bullshit "wifey" title that has particularly hit the Black and Hispanic communities. If you aren't legally married, sitchoassdown just because you are a baby mama, girlfriend, or neverending fiancee`.

I think Royce is so cute. The booyshaking all the time aside, everyone needs a little tweeking when they get with a new type of crowd.

NOPE. She isn't married. :cool:;)

And you better speak that truth on the "wifey" issue. That's why she annoys me.

Love the bolded too! lmao:D:D:D

I am convinced that there must be a prenup that is making her stay because she won't get anything if she bounces.

And she seems so daggone MISERABLE. It is just not worth it.

And he looks like a horse.

Thank you! She looks miserable and he looks horrendous.

The rest are just baby mamas.
Oh goodness, I hope there are some basketball wives whose existences don't mirror these!

i was thinking that the other day and hoping that these are just the outliers and most couples are "normal"
