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

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. 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.

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

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.

Did No Drawers from College Hill grow up 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.

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 just now decided to check this out today.

Am I missing something or is no one on this show actually married to anyone (with the exception of the lady who is admittedly like 5 minutes away from a divorce?) Everyone is more like ex-basketball wives. lol.

And what's the deal with Royce? I don't get the point of her hanging out with them. She seems kind of out of their crowd (eg. never having dated a player or anything). She must be around for the "hot mess" factor.

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

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?

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.

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

Love the bolded too! lmao

I'm faily certain the only married woman on the show is the one who complains like she is 5 minutes away from a divorce in every ep.

And I totally agree with you. I LOL @ people who think "we have kids and have been engaged for 5 years, we're just as married." Um, nope.

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

I know, right? Every ep I watch, I just want to scream "GET THE DAMNED DIVORCE ALREADY AND SHUT UP."

I get staying if you want to try and work it out, but you con't work it out and complain on TV too. lol.
