Reel-ality TV Talk
Can you play nice with others?
By Marquesa LaDawn, NNPA Columnist
This week was interesting because all of my favorites seem to have something in common. It was about the struggle of “playing nice with others.” But before I go there, I have to talk about the biggest story on Reality TV. I don’t usually write about the Kardashians but I had to say something with it being a big story – Bruce becoming Caitlyn!
I love it! Bruce making this big decision changed the world, not to mention his life. The perception of a transgender person has shifted. We’ve all been educated. I do think he was the ideal person to take on this mission. Yes, I know he has a lot of kids and was a married man. I can only imagine the emotional confusion that his family is experiencing. That being said, being famous is a good thing and a bad thing.
I admire how Bruce put his feelings aside for so many years for his family. But, he’s right, he’s got to live for himself and that means as Caitlyn.
I think he chose well!
The ladies let it all out on RHOA via Kandi’s family ski vacation. I must say, the Tuckers and the “old ladies gang” are addictive. This week, Todd is fed up with the family blaming him for, well, everything. He’s tired of Kandi accepting their issues. It was refreshing seeing Todd express himself to his relatives and hearing them say the ladies are crazy.
Todd’s goal was to clear the air, knowing Kandi will pretend everything is fine. Of course, Mama Joyce had to step in and blab about nothing. I loved how Todd ignored her with such class and continued to have his say. In short, let’s be a family and enjoy one another. Awww!
Of course the peace could not last for too long. Kandi’s best friend and assistant (two words that should never go together), got put on blast. Carmen, though a great friend, is a lazy assistant, which became clear after watching Todd’s assistant shine and Kandi had to say something. It hit Carmen hard. First of all, this can of worms got opened by Kandi’s daughter pointing out Carmen and the other assistant’s not so polite attitude towards Todd’s assistant.
