I haven't heard Joe Clair on the radio since the late 90s, so I'll just say that seeing him brought back...memories. I don't even think that they need to redo the reunion (though you're right on him being a wack host that was obviously there to cash a check), but I don't think it is worthy of being a two-parter. The only purpose here is to roast Nicci's Bitter Betty self over the coals and 120 minutes isn't needed for that to happen.

Though I'm not one to snark on any woman for being full-figured, I'll just say that folks are right to go in on Nicci for her shitty fashion sense. And yes, I laughed for a good 5 minutes when Syleena called her "casket sharp".

The only reason that I can think of that KeKe was allowed to slide on by is because they may have been spark off a stabbing frenzy (though a part of me would love to see her ass on The Soup).

Why are they tap dancing and sugar- footing around the real issues? They should have Joe just reading audience questions...I don't want a darn recap of the AIDS benefit; I want answers! Why Nicci sabotage the tour? Why Nicci make up excuses, play sick, cry and or go off every time she is slated to sing?

What a snooze fest... will watch LA later.

V, overall, I was not impressed with LA, and I don't think I will bother unless I'm home and have absolutely nothing better to do!

ATL: A 2 part reunion was needed why? I didn't even watch the 2nd half because it was so damn dull! The only thing I hope comes out of that is Nicci realizing what a fashion disaster she truly is! If Syleena does not return, not sure I will either.

I'll agree with you about ATL, since methinks the "Wizards" overestimated how much buzz the Season 2 happenings got. Frankly, I'd have been fine with Sheryl Lee Ralph hosting a 1-parter, since her 15 minutes were far more watchable than Joe Clair's hosting stint.

LA: I'm sticking with this one because:

a. it's a perfect musical timeline of my childhood to my college years

b. I want to see how long it'll take for Dawn to display her craziness, since I found her omission of certain facts about her leaving En Vogue (as well as skipping over Lucy Pearl) to be telling

c. Chante Moorewub.png

Even though I knew it was coming, it breaks my heart to see another diva fall from grace in my eyes - especially since I'd been a fan of Kelly since her days of singing backup for Mariah. I will say that Dawn sidestepped my expectations of her being batshit crazy since all I'm seeing is her being a spineless follower.

I've made up my mind that Michel'le's loopiness is due to the sh!t that she was put through while being married to both Dre and Suge.

I am glad to see that my lovely impression of Chante has been kept intact (so far). Not much to say about L'il Mo, but I do hope that Claudette eventually breaks free from the fog of depression that she is obviously under.

Finally, some happy reality TV news!This morning TV One announced on News One Now that the network has picked up its popular reality series R&B Divas Atlanta for a third season and R&B Divas LA for its second season. Both series are slated to return in 2014 and according to a news release, production on season three of the Atlanta branch of R&B Divas will begin this month. DAngela Proctor, SVP of Programming and Production for TV One, said in the press announcement:The most recent seasons of the Atlanta and Los Angeles series, as well as their post-season reunion specials, enjoyed stellar ratings success in 2013marking some of our highest-rated telecasts in network history. The divas are not only wildly talented and celebrated music artists, but relatable women with joys and struggles that resonated strongly with our viewers. We look forward to chronicling more of their stories, and drama, in these upcoming seasons.Whats perhaps more interesting than the renewal is news of who will and will not be returning to R&B Divas Atlanta. The press release notes returning cast members will be Syleena Johnson, Angie Stone, Monifah Carter, Keke Wyatt, which means Nicci Gilbert got the boot, as did Latocha Scott, who just joined in season two. So far theres no word on the R&B Divas LA cast, but we have to wonder whether Nicci is still producing series and chose to remain behind the scenes or is out of the franchise altogether.Will you still watch without her?__________________

    • I've been pondering how strange it is that in real life NLG was being more supportive of Haley Pullos than I would have been ....  and now Alexis is doing that for Kristina.
    • Natalia worrying about her dress getting dirty during her DUI arrest had to be a reference to Haley Pullos and the $400 shirt.   The birth scene was really good. It could have been OTT but wasn't. There was this great moment was Michael was talking about how he's seen every sonogram and been with her all the way where it registered with Willow that he's been extremely involved with this and she had no idea but then couldn't say anything because she's obviously cheating too. And then they acknowledged each other and he actually thanked her. It was very humanizing for both characters.
    • This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential 
    • Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me. 
    • Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.
    • Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.
    • It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
