Basketball Wives

[LikeASista]

WOW!! I didn't even know this thread existed! I curse the ground of my bestie who forced me to learn all about Basketball Wives during Spring Break this year, ... and now I'm hooked.

These women embarass me. Seriously. It's like we have whole episodes of several Nenes all in one show. The constant bickering and fist fights are such a low-life attempt at entertainment that I feel degraded everytime I watch this show. I don't know any grown women who affectionately refer to me (nor themselves) as "bi*ches". What the hell is that about?!

I'll be honest in that Evenlyn's look reminds me so much of Beyonce. And it seems like she's in MOST of the scenes of each episode. Is there a reason for that? Jennifer has always seemed fake to me, but to see her so broken-hearted at Evelyn's angry rant at her caused me to view her a little differently. I like Royce, because she's spunky. She speaks her mind and is not afraid of ANYone. Susie, ... ehhh, whatever. Tami, ... OMG!! I hated her in The Real World, and she completely defines the term "hood-rat". Meeka, of course, was planted by the producers. She was messy from day one, and I'm sure all of that was by design.

And could someone else tell me why the hell Al Reynolds is on this show?!?!?!? Gimme a BREAK!!!

That's why you don't know every grown woman in the world.

Last night's episode was interesting. Both Jennifer and her ex-husband are losers. What's up with her having a music video? Yiiiikes.

I agree with Evelyn. Chad Ochocinco has no business having personal (not business) interactions with women who want to be with him. I am a strong proponet of platonic friends of the opposite sex but ONLY if they are platonic friends and ONLY if you don't have to keep secrets or lie to your significant other. I casually tell my significant other when I hang out with my female friends so I would never not divulge when I hang with my male friends.

I have a feeling that she is going to deal with that a lot since it's obvious that he doesn't get it.

Eric is definitely the bigger loser. "You're nothing. You'll be 40 in 3 years..." Does this mean I'll soon be washed up? I didn't get the memo. He's obviously hurting and is still in love with Jen but that was uncalled for and nasty.

I agreed w/ Evelyn too, but felt bad about it because she, and her girls generally, act like 8 year olds. She just happened to swerve into "rightness" on this one.

My gf and I have had the "friend" debate/discussion. I trust her, but not hte dudes who would generally call themselves friends. Of course, she tells me I'm tripping until I flip the script and ask how cool she'd be with me hanging out with female friends. Then, magically, she sees the point more clearly.

And I'm so glad I don't ... And, I completely agree with you about Evelyn's justification in asking Chad about this woman. But because he claimed that this was "a problem" for him tells me that she's going to be getting jealous a lot more often. If she's just a friend "from the past", why couldn't he mention it to his new fiancee? Chad is exactly what Jennifer said he is, ... and attention whore. He seems to be more about fun and games than anything else, and would much rather keep her laughing in hopes that she would simply ignore the female friends he hangs with.

And while I feel bad for saying it, ... I loved, Loved, LOVED the drink-in-the-face scene. She had the nerve to be so shocked when she'd just thrown a glass herself. What was funnier was her very fake and slow-motioned attempt at retaliation: "I will F*CK you up ..." Of course, she had to be held back by one of the producers before she REALLY got violent. LMFAO!!!!! Good ol' Jennifer. Keepin' it real.

When keeping it real goes wrong

I have to agree. Both sides shouldn't have to resort to throwing their drinks at each other.

Since no one else has, I guess I'll start this thread back up again ...

WOW! Isn't it ironic that the very last post in this thread involved the infamous drink (or two) being thrown by Jennifer and her ex?

Now, during this new season for our viewing pleasure, we witness the throwing of at least ONE bottle and a plate across Shaunie's head by Evelyn. Welcome to the new season of Basketball Wives (regardless of how late ... ).

Alright, ... that's it, I LOVE EVELYN! Hands down. She is, by far, the most loyal and REALEST person for just making the statement, "You don't judge a b**** just because she don't got the same sh** you got!! You don't DO that!!!"

Wouldn't have said it quite like that, but certainly agree.
