yeah theyre on some "let's try to do what MTV does but put some "flava" on it" BS and its clearly not working. they can cut their losses with College Hill 4 and KIM.

I actually sat through the whole 2 episodes they showed. I too liked how they are doing both "sides" but I don't see how the girl from the hood ties into the show at all. it's like having a token just to say the show is balanced.

I guess the "hood 1" . .(gosh I felt bad 4 refering to her as that but I just can't remember her name

) she could potentially serve some purpose as it seems that she has that mutual guy friend that connects her to the others from the hills. Plus, she has a mild "friendship" with the other girl and the jelousy thing with the other intense 1. Maybe she gets weaved in later . . . idk . . 1 thing is for sure, it seemed that this show is geared for tweens and teens

I've been sucked into watching it. When I was in my early 20s, I lived in View Park, a nearby community, with great, parental-type landlady and landlord (who were a Delta and Omega, BTW). Also, I have met Soror Vanessa and have a picture with her, so I am curious about her Ashley.

I saw both eps I think last Thursday and I was like why is Vanessa Bell Calloway in this awful acting mess, then I found out Friday that her actualy daughter is playing her actual daughter on gthe show, and all I can say is this show really does suck. Th acting of you can call it that is really, really bad.

I do see what you are saying when comparing it to Flavor of Love minstrel type mess. However, the saw was not that interesting, but if I can force myself to watch 2 epsiodes of House of Payne I can see if I will like this show next week.

BTW the new game show SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

It was really, really bad.

Yes Soror Calloway's daughter is on the show, and she does NOT have her mother's looks. That is all I will say about that.

Co-sign that.

I'm sorry but Moriah and Gerren look like brother and sister and not a little bit either, a lot. Don't you just hate to see couples like that? I know I do...it's creepy.

I don't know how true it is.

I see that this is correct. Ashley's a "Honey Don't".

ETA: She's attractive. ETA2: Not that I'm like that, but you know.

She reminds me of Keisha Knight Pulliam.

The show so far is ok but i thought it would be a little better. I also agree that the "hood" girl serves no purpose at this point. I will give the show at least another week to GRAB my attention and if it doesnt well so long for Baldwin Hills!

I was surprised to see Gerren on the show. She was the girl who started modeling at 11 or 12, I think. I don't know how much of show is totally scripted but they have her just acting really wild and rude to her mom. Hopefully being in "industry" at such a young age has not made her this way. So I am guessing this is all an act.
