The Amazing Race 12-8-13 (#AmazingRace)

And the winner is, Jason and Amy. My thoughts on this is I am more that overly excited because these two deserve to win and in the many seasons of people playing this game, Jason and Amy have played this game more fair and with the least selfishness I have every seen. In the beginning of the game I watch the two cousins Leo and Jamal actually get a one up on everyone by booking a flight that gave them a few minutes head start. So of course I was really nervous because I know that Jamal and Leo are very competitive players and they know how to take on challenges. I was saying to myself in the very beginning that they might just win this thing with this head start because of course they took on the challenges like pros, until they got stuck on putting a robot together in Japan. Yes a  robot actually ended up taking down Leo and Jamal even after they finished their roadblock. These guys struggle to make sure their robot was like that of the model they had, but for some reason Leo eye was not good enough and this made them lose their edge. Now on to the foot race for the final three and surprisling enough Tim and Marie came in first place and how did this happen. Well Marie took on the challenge of building the robot and this tough lady put this robot together all by herself and ended up giving them the first place advantage. As for Amy and Nicole they decided to take on the challenge as well but could not figure out were they were going wrong at putting the robot together and after taking another look at the copy robot, Amy figured it out and got it. True to her loyalty, Amy gave Nicole some advice on how to finish up her robot before her and Jason went along to become second in the final three. Now it was so tense and with Nicole trying to correct her mistake and Leo trying to correct his but Nicole pulled it off to be final three. Now that these three get started it was off to Alaska for the final race. Of course all three teams ended up on the same flight and after the flight landed it was a matter of who would get a cab first and Travis and Nicole ended up with this first and they got a pretty good lead as they head to pier and jumped on a fishing boat. What got Travis and Nicole down was they had a challenge and for some reason Travis again let Nicole take it on and guess what. You guessed it, she did horribly, the teams had to drop a bag of something in the center of a bulls eye on the ground and Nicole just could not get it before other two teams. Now I would have to say I blame Travis for this because if I was him I would have told Nicole I will take on this challenge, especially after she struggle so much with the last challenge. People have to remember that you can win or lose this game in the decisions you make on who takes on what challenge and this is why this game is so fair to me because it is you who make the decisions and you can not blame anyone else. Well it was a great challenge as usual and again I am so glad it was Jason and Amy that won the game. See you can play a fair game and win, you do not have to be nasty and still people cabs or lie about things.

Bonnie and Clyde12-8-13 (#BonnieandClyde)

I watched Part one of Bonnie and Clyde tonight and it was all I expected it to be. I really enjoyed this first half and liked looking into the lives of the two criminals. What I like the most was both of the actors are great and they are doing a fabulous job. I like every aspect of the story line so for because watching the documentary on the history channel help me understand a look about Bonnie and Clyde and what they went through and tonight show almost followed that documentary to the word, so that was great. I like how they included the mothers so that we could see the family side of their story as well and we could she what these mothers possibly went through as they had to watch their children be criminals. One thing we really are learning from last night is that Bonnie was not joke, this woman knew what to do to get over on people, I am not sure if this come from her hoping to be an actress one day and she maybe practice this. It was heartfelt to see what Clyde had to go through in jail and now people can understand why this man did not want to go back in. What I was wondering is if they will show Clyde having the man killed because according to the documentary he later had this man who raped him in jail killed. I did not no anything of this female press agent, she did write about the two but during them days they did not want to give the female any credit, but this was a time that women started coming into their own and this was proven with Bonnie herself and this female press agent who walked into her old bosses office and told him that he would be rehiring her. Good show tonight and I can not wait until part 2.

The Real Houswives Of Atlanta 12-8-13(@BravoATLWives)

I have three words for The Real Housewives of Atlanta tonight and that is it was "Off The Chain". Tonight show was focused mostly on Kandi and Mama Joyce and mama's doing a full out protest against Todd and Carman. Let me start out with the milder part of tonight and that was Phadera and Apollo making up from their disagreement of last week, but I must say Apollo's apology leaves a lot to be desire. I personally do not think that Apollo apologized like a man really should have and if you ask me it is still a lot more to this texting between Apollo and Kenya. I think if Phadera dig a little she may find more than just texts from Kenya on her husband phone, he seems like a sneaky snake to me. Now I was glad to see Nene and Gregg visit some of their other friends tonight but what threw me for a loop was how Nene was digging into this friend whom to went to high school with and how she boldly asked the man did he date Phadera or Kandi in front of his wife, come on Nene you could have been a little tasteful about it. Now the man did say Phadera was a booty call but Nene thinks it is more to this story, where is Nene going with this, only time will tell. We all do have to remember that Phadera brought this man in once that was suppose to be associated with Nene and she tried to say that the man slept with Nene but he denied it as well as Nene did, maybe it is payback time for Phadera. Now back to mama Joyce and her sisters that entered into Kandi's trying on wedding dresses and who was sitting there, you guessed it, Carmen. I think he more and more mama Joyce looked over at Carmen the more she heated up and before you knew it Mama Joyce was speaking her truth and Carmen and mama Joyce was going at it. What really surprise me was that Carmen was mouthing at mama Joyce with no holding back. For us southerners if we do not know anything we do know that you do not disrespect or talk back to your or anyone else's mother, that is a no, no. So Carmen who I have to say I do not care for anyway because we she told Kandi in a earlier episode that she needed to put her mother in her place, it really turned me off from her because who is Carmen to tell Kandi how to handle her mother. Carmen is a friend Mama Joyce is Kandi mother and not matter what you do Carmen, Kandi should always put her mother first, if you was any kind of real friend you would have walked away from the situation and left. Can anyone tell me why in the world did Carmen tell Mama Joyce to leave, what audacity this woman have. Now I going to say something I saw and maybe it is just me but did anyone notice that at Kandi's office when she invited all the girls over to exercise. Now if anyone remember Carmen was there behind the bar, Kandi sit on the stool and Todd was at the end of the bar closest to Carmen. As all the women came over, I notice at this one point Kandi friend had left from behind the bar and was gone and not to long behind that I see Todd slowly walking off from the camera, where did he go I do not know and why did he leave right behind Carmen I do not know either. Do I think this is a little suspicious, yes I do. Like I said if I was Kandi, I would have to put a little tail on Todd, I am just saying people.

Shark Tank 12-6-13 (@ABCSharkTank)

Anyone watch shark tank last night, well I did and as usual it was very informative but what caught my eye on last night episode was these two mothers who came up with idea for children safety helmets. What the women did was made this fun and funny looking Velcro foam designs that you could put on your child's safety helmet to make them want to wear their safety helmets while riding their bike, or skate boarding or just skating. These foams I must say were very perculur looking and the foam design was just throwing me off. What the sharks ask these women were the usual questions, do you have the product out in stores already, how much money have you made, and what makes your design different from anyone else. Now I have seen something similar to what they were pitching and this is on the actual helmets for grown ups who ride motorcycles or bicycles, so I was too curious what would make their different. One woman said her child came up with the idea when they would go bike riding and her younger son complained about wearing a helmet. So her daughter took paper and made a design and glue it on to her brothers helmet and he loved it, now for me what came to mind was her daughter seen this different designs as other people on motorcyclist and thought it was a good idea because she probably notice her brother admiring it. One of the mother said they were targeting five to ten years old, so I guess because of this she figure they would have their own age group to sell to. Now all the sharks ended up turning these women down but not before these women were begging and disagreeing with their judgment, saying that they would have a large group to sell too. But I could understand what the sharks were saying to the women and this is that this idea was already out there and similar product is being made and that the competition would be too stiff because this particular product can be produced and is already being produce and is being sold in many bike shops. One of the woman was in tears and I almost felt bad for her but neither women was really listening to what the sharks had to say and why in would not benefit them to invest in their product and they had to practically tell the women to just walk away. These women when exiting was saying it was hard for them to understand that the sharks was not as hype as they were about something they put their hearts into. People have to remember that when you enter into the shark tank room, you are entering to sale a product that you have put your tears and blood into again your blood and tears not theirs, so they may not feel as heartfelt as you do about the product and you have to go into the shark tank room with all the confidence but not expecting anything. If you expect them to love your product as much as you do, you may get the biggest let down and you have to remember that just because the sharks turn you down does not mean that you have to stop believing in your dream.

Total Divas 12-3-13(@TotalDivas)(#TotalDivas)

I forgot to write about Total Divas this week and I have to apologize because I did watch and enjoy watching this show every week. What got me the most about this week show was that it was interesting to see John Cena possibly having OCD, this man have one of the cleanest house I have every seen of a man and I thought this was just because he had a lot of housekeepers, but find out he is just very neat. John Cena has taken that big step to let his girlfriend to move in, which is a big step for anyone person and now I think it is a matter of them understanding each other living habits. Nikki was a little upset because she feels John is correcting her on everything when it comes to putting clothes in the right hamper to wiping off a counter right away to leave no crumbs or stain. Now I have to agree with John on this because the man has a nice house and if you want to keep things looking nice you have to take care of them and I have to say Nikki being a woman I was surprise she left crumbs on the counter and let liquid drip in the floor without getting them up right away. Don't get me wrong, it was great of Nikki to surprise John by cooking for him but why not clean up s you go along, makes it easier in the long run. I was really glad to see that overall John apologize to Nikki and brought her some beautiful flowers while acknowledge the mistakes he made and how he will strive to be a better man. We all get to see how great of a man John Cena is out of the ring as well as in the ring, is not Nikki a lucky woman and yes Nikki the rest of us women are jealous. Now as for Ariane trying to help Vincent become a wrestler, I personally did not think this was a good idea, if your heart is really not in it then you a going to fail at it. I think it has to be something Vincent want and I think he will have to do a lot of practicing, if he do not start at the bottom and work his way up he may have a lot of wrestler who may resent him. Now the highlight for me on this week was Trinity's father coming not really for a visit but as a play to lay his head while in was in town to do a show. Jon was alright with Trinity letting her dad stay in the beginning but then the dad got kind of in the way. You have to understand that Trinity and Jon has a small one bedroom apartment and although I know Trinity loves her dad as most girls do, there has to be a line drawn and why would your dad who is coming into town want to stay with his daughter knowing she has only one bedroom and a boyfriend. If dad was coming into town on business then he should have had arrangements at a hotel in the first place and as hard as I know it was for Trinity to tell her dad that he had to go, dad and most dad would be understood the situation, so why did he ask to stay in the first place, this is a question on the dad can answer. I would not want to stay with my daughter even if she had a two bedroom in fear, I might hear or see something I definitely do not want to see. I was a little upset that Jon was not more understanding of Trinity's dad coming over but when the dad had a party in this small apartment when Jon was trying to come home and get some sleep, what parent does this anyway, that was just the parent acting like the child and then I was agreement with Jon that he had to go. I really like this show and I still enjoy watching all the wrestling stars and their relationships being put out on television. You get to see a different side of these wrestlers and you see that they have personal lives as well and they are too human. The show is best I believe because they are no written scripts, the wrestlers use their real names and they just go along about their everyday life with wrestling included to let us know how everything happen. In other words the storyline is like a open book, no acting allowed.

Gypsy Sisters 12-5-13 (@GypsySisters)

Does anyone watch this Gypsy Sisters show. Well I have seen it but usually it was coming on during times of some of my favorite shows and I really did not see a need to even peek at this show because I do not know to much about the Gypsies other than what my mother told me as a child. Last night I had to free television air time and I decided to watch this show to see what it was about and they had these women all arguing among themselves and it turned into what was suppose to be a fight between a couple of the girls and turned into like a brawl in which a group of them started fighting. What was the worst of this is I found out that all these people are suppose to be family in some way. What I saw was a big old mess. This one lady, named Nattie, is suppose to be the matriarch and she looks rather old to me, had this other girl on the girl who looked half her age, I just want to know why is the old women fighting. There was a looking of screaming and each of them calling each others names back and forth and talking pure mess about one another. Each of the women talked of how they were claiming victory and I was so confused about who supposedly won and who did not because they both had little marks on them, not real fight other than a lot of hair pulling and biting. You could tell there were a lot of feelings hurts and this family is now divided according to some of them because of this fight. What I really was lost on was that some of the girls had a mother who just got out of prison after having served time for stealing information from people bank accounts and using this to withdraw money because of her gambling habits. Now listening to the daughters, this woman was so smart the FBI gave her immunity and let her get out early if she would tell them how she did this and they sound rather proud of this but I thought it was sad that they thought it was something to be proud of. Is it true about gypsies not caring about anyone but their own families because from what I watched on this show that is what it seems like, now I know why people do not trust gypsy people. I do have to say this show had a positive side to it and that was Mellie, she is very shy and passive and she does not act like the rest of them and they act like there is something wrong with this and again my questions is why. Why would they not approve of Mellie being different and trying to make a more positive lifestyle for herself. Well my opinion on this show was not one of high regards and can I say that I will be watching this show again, that I am not sure. On one hand I want to try and understand the family more and see what is really going on but on the other hand I am seeing them as a group of real messy people. Only time will tell if I watch it again.

Braxton Family Values 12-5-13 (@BraxtonFV)(@WEtv/Braton Family Values)

I watch this show last night and if looking at the women and them with their sister do not remind me of my own sisters. They are so good together, it is something I can not explain but it is nothing like getting together with your sisters and just having a good time, if you can not act a fool around your sisters who can you act a fool around. Now last night episode focused on the four of the sisters touring, Toni, Towanda, Tracy and Trina. They had a rough start because Toni was a little upset with Trina's less than staler half time show and I have to say it was bad and the crowd in New Jersey was not feeling Trina at all, I do not know if it was nerves for Trina or what but she did admit the crowd not supporting her or giving her that approval made her a little nervous. I have to say I do not know what Tracy or Towanda are doing when they are dancing as the side kicks for their sisters. Why can they not be back up singers and swag a little from side to side, why do they have to put on these half performances. They could always get real dancers to do the dance portion but then they may be working on a budget and they could be trying to save money by not having real dancers. A portion of the show was focused on Tamar and her working on her new single and it showed Tamar shooting her new music video. Now what got me is the show is the "Braxton Family Values" and what we were use to seeing is all the sisters at one point or another together interacting but yet Tamar who now has her own show without her sisters is taking up half of this show to focus on her and Vince life. Why is the show focusing on Tamar's life when she has her on show, I don't want to continuously doing videos and her with her husband, choreographer and others, save this for her and Vince show. What really was a no, no for me is the video had Vince and Tamar shooting a scene in bed together, I like Tamar and even more I love Vince but the one thing I said I did not want to see was these two in bed together, I going to leave this alone. I was happy to finally understand what has gone wrong in the relationship between Tamar and Towanda. Towanda brought up the fact that she was upset with Tamar because Tamar always had a problem with her when she had to change her plans or leave early do to obligations with her children. Towanda said that Tamar would always make snide remarks like why can't the father take care the kids or why you don't get a babysitter and now it looks like that Tamar is so business she can not longer call her sisters just to say hi or to ask if they are okay. Towanda say the only time Tamar call her is if she wants something and do not even ask her how the family is doing. They say Tamar said she is so busy and just can not make time for her immediate family but this is the same woman that judge them when they had these same issues. Toni is a little upset and she like any sister don't want to get in between because when you start doing this you end up taking sides. I know exactly what Toni means, when two of my sisters are fighting they will both call and one has one side of the story and the other has a totally different side of the story and you are confused as to who is telling the truth and you find yourself not wanting to take side just hoping they will get over and let it go. Something the sisters decided to do the next time they see Tamar is to give her a look the next time she makes excuses about why she did not call them, they will all give her this same look and I think this is a great idea. The sisters has decided to remain neutral and just give her a look to show their disapproval and leave it like that. Like I said it is not like having sisters and yes you will have your fights but the bond will never die. This show is so family oriented and full of good old fashion fun that they make me feel like I with my own sisters, I am loving it. As long as this show has a new season I will always be watching and I hoping this is for a very long time.
