I read an article about the JJ fiasco. It was reported that a High School in Cali has decided not to allow MTV to film its students for the Reality Show. If the district would have allowed the filming, the district would have gotten $40,000 for scholarships. SOOOOOOOOOO, this is PROBABLY why the "powers that be" at SU are "okay" with the show. SU probably received $$$ for this. And we (some of US @ home)know what that meansssssssss... No, not really, b/c that doesn't happen anymore. But $$$ talks and the other stuff walks.

That's SOOOO true! If I know SU like I know SU, they didn't allow the show to be taped on campus without a few "benefits." This show will showcase the university, its greek system, the band, Bayou Classic, etc. Oh yeah. They are gonna be cool with how the show goes down.

The high school in Cali can pull out because it is not a selective enrollment institute. Kids from all over can not apply to attend a high school. Colleges, on the other hand, have control over who attends. It is a for-profit institute. They see $$$$ and everything is cool now. This is gonna be a hot topic in the state.

Just a thought: What if this wasn't a BET show based on an HBCU and it was being taped at LSU?? Would there still be all the drama?? I already know how they roll on that campus....

I can’t see Chancellor Emmert giving permission to do a show like this. The Chancellor et al have been working very hard to bolster LSU’s image as a serious institution. Unless you have final edit authority, there is no way that you aren’t going to come out looking like hot mess. That just won’t do.

As far as doing it the way MTV did at Southern Cal, I could almost see that happening. The group, although it was specifically a sorority, could not be filmed anywhere on campus because USC did not give permission. There would still be drama because we all know or know of someone just like the CH cast members.

I am an adimitted reality show addict, and I saw this show once, and I am not going to go out of my way to watch it again. the cinematography was bad. there was not any strong attempt at a "storyline".

SMH til it hurts

I am finally watching Wednesday's ep highlighting Jabari. He really does remind me of someone!!

His ex-girlfriend -- her eyes - one is smaller than the other.

They never kissed?!?! Wow!!

Where is Gabriel at?

ETA: WTF type of rule is no cell phone!?!? I WOOOOSH I would share one phone line with 8 people!!!! Traceynem yall is tripping on THAT rule. Oh and the punishment, yall can beat it. I am a grown azz woman.

Well - I watched the show on Saturday - I was surprised to see the Alpha Brothers at SU holding it down - I was more surprised to see Ms. Black and Gold - that is great coverage for us - to some extent

CrimsonTide4 · #**141** 02-11-2004, 10:26 PM

They would have to KMBA on those rules!! How you gonna fine the cheerleader for missing a bunk azz house meeting when she is at a game cheering?

THOSE RULES SUCK!!! For that reason alone, they would not have got me up on that show.

Only BET n em would have some dumb azz summer sleep away camp rules for college students.

~~~~~

ETA: Where are Nina and Kinda????

~~~~~~

ETA #2
I was on the floor at the exchange between Jabari and the housemates.

Umm Kinda -- your excuse was bullsh!!

I never was a cheerleader but when did they start practicing at 3:30!!!! WTH?!!?!?!

I thought I was going to fall out laughing at that. Delano did him perfect. I think he does have to many things going on inside that crazy head of his, and it all comes out jumbled.

When I saw the preview for next week, I was like not that there is a baby daddy #1 and baby daddy #2 drama. This explains why dude in the beginning said that once he finds out that the baby is his for sure, then he will move out of the dorm and do what is right.

delph998 · #**143** 02-12-2004, 10:06 AM

I didn't realize that girl was preggers...with two potential baby daddy's...off the chain!

Jabari humors me. I just want him to cut those long nails off.

feu_declipse · #**144** 02-13-2004, 12:00 PM

Okay, I need to catch up. I watched the premiere and some of episode 2 and am no longer really driven to watch it.

ETA: I saw the piece about the phone rules and the previews saying they would wake them up for boot camp.

RI-DNAG-DI -CULOUS - for what???? I think not. That whole concept is stupid. If you want to show college studentd, then do so in their natural environment, NOT with a bunch of silly rules.

MeezDiscreet · #**145** 02-13-2004, 01:38 PM

i couldn't believe the entire show was of them getting hazed for using cell phones and having overnight guests. is mtv trying to cram real world, frat life, and road rules all into one?

CrimsonTide4 · #**146** 02-18-2004, 10:26 PM

Did yall see Nina spray those toothbrushes with WINDEX!?!?!!?!?

That bathroom is not clean if all she used was Windex!! Where was her Comet and 409 and Orange Clean and Pine Sol and BLEACH!!!!

Shiiiiiiiiiii I am so glad I don't have communal bathrooms no more!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did Jabari just meditate?? after the bus accident?? How come BET could not get that girl a ride home in a car instead of on the bus? BET is soooooo low budget it is pa freaking thetic!!!

RBL · #**147** 02-18-2004, 10:46 PM

I don't know why but Shalondra is beginning to be my favorite... her momma told it like it was

kiml122 · #**148** 02-19-2004, 09:43 AM

Dang, I forgot about the last nights episode.....but all I have to say is 'spraying tooth brushes with windex'......what in the hell is up with that.

CrimsonTide4 · #**149** 02-19-2004, 09:55 AM

I like Shalondrea and Jabari's friendship; they seem to have really bonded.

delph998 · #**150** 02-19-2004, 10:53 AM

I agree CT4.

Jabarri cracked me up when he meditated to see if she should continue to ride the bus.
