Oprah’s 200 Men

Okay…..I know I am months, upon months late….but it took some time and some courage for me to finally get the nerve to actually watch this.

As a female who was molested by her own father, I can only imagine what it could feel like for a male to feel like he had to keep the secret of being abused, in any fashion.  In my blogs The House My Father Built and a Molestation Survivor Speaks….you can catch a glimpse of my struggle. And even after speaking to my biological father in NOvember for the first time in 15 years….he told me that I made it all up in my mind and that I was brainwashed by family members. WHO DOES THAT?!!!!!!!! He couldn’t face the fact that he was a perverted bastard who once molested his own sister and then continued with me…..he had to attempt to make me feel stupid and as if it was my fault. I refuse to own that, but it is very hard for me shake this part of my past; I don’t even know if I am supposed to.

So I recorded this on my DVR months ago and something is now telling me to watch it….on this EASTER Sunday( I know this is not when you will read this…but it is when I wrote it). Something is about to be resurrected….hopefully the real me. I feel safe enough to watch this. It is time for me to face this beast….and what better way than to watch this episode of Oprah and possibly help some other people.

Now, I didn’t watch the Tyler Perry Episode… I guess I should find a copy of it….but I will deal with what I have thus far.

 I simply love Jordyn. I can’t say that enough.

Mike, Tamera’s trainer…..he can GET IT in a gym, on a bench while bench pressing me into bliss! THANK YOU LAWD!!! One thing, ummm… Tamera, boo you look okay. Can I get to your level? But I understand that it is all about self perception, and it isn’t about looks either.

Speaking of their mother, where are their parents? We have seen every guest appearance known to man, but where are their parents?  But I am so glad that Tamera is there to help Tia for this entire week before the baby comes.  Ummm…. Did Tia just ask Tamera to test out the breast pump for her? LLS!!!! Watching her trying to put this thing together is HILARIOUS!!!

THEY ARE ARMY BRATS LIKE ME!!!!!!! And Tamera has been invited to an event hosted by Michelle Obama. Niiiiiice.

Access Hollywood called Tamera’s agent and said that they are wanting her to be a guest-host. Niiice. I would love to take that! Boo, take it !!!!

Joining Forces is Michelle Obama’s event, or at least an event that she is apart of. I have GOT to Google search this organization. WOW!!! Mrs. Michelle looks sooooooo gorgeous! I need to hit the gym. My first lady makes me want to hit the gym to keep up. She is the FIRST First Lady who has that effect on me. I never have looked at my First Ladies before. And now I want to check out Joining Forces to see how I can help out.

So, I find it hilarious how Tamera keeps checking out Tia’s boobs…lol.

Good advice. Tamera tells Tia that she shouldn’t lose herself in her marriage. But I didn’t know that Tamera stopped acting because of her relationship with Adam. But, I feel Tamera’s side of the story as well. They are both making great points. I think Tamera should do what is good for her, while acting WHEN she wants and loving Adam at the same time.

I simply love Tia’s agent/manager… forgot who she was. Lol. She cracks me up. Ummm… Tia’s c-section is 2 weeks away and her baby’s room is so empty that it is a shame.

Raphael, Tamera’s acting coach…. I’ve seen him before but I don’t know where. But I LOVE the advice that he is giving her as well. I want him as my acting coach. I need him! I LOVE TAMERA and all of her therapy sessions…lol.

Everything looks like it will be very calm this episode. But I did miss them.

I missed them last week. I mean, I know it was a holiday, but how dare they take a week off from their life….lol.

So, Tia’s baby is still breech and she hasn’t decided if she wants to have a c-section or not. Wow… there is a procedure where you can manually turn the baby around. It sounds very painful. I’m getting stressed just watching Tia have this baby. I know everything turned out well… but still.

Francisco is handsome!!!!! I need to become friends with Adam so he can introduce me to Francisco. Lol. So Francisco is renting Adam’s old condo while Adam moves into Tamera’s condo. So the only other person that Tamera has lived with is Tia. Especially since they decided not to move in with one another until they got married.

Bwhahahaha Tia said she dropped the soap in the shower and she stopped washing because she couldn’t pick it up. Lol. I LOVE TAMERA!!!! The way she described how she would do the M.C. job for Tia’s baby shower almost made me wet myself.

I love that Tia is keeping a video journal for her pregnancy. She said she cant shave her legs…lol. COMEDY!!! What? You cant wax when you are pregnant.

I love how Tamera is Mrs. Housely.  Their wedding pics are sooooo romantic. And then they went to Greece for their honeymoon!!!! I simply LOVE Adam and Tamera as a couple. I love Andrea as well. She is a great best friend.

HOSEA!!!!! He is like my piece of candy every episode that he shows up! Lol. SEXY! I love how he is honest but in a loving way. He keeps it real without being hurtful. I love their friendship. They are soooooooo comical together. Hahahahahahahaha. WOW!!!! Tia looks GIGANTIC this episode. Haven’t only two weeks passed since the wedding? How did she get that big in two weeks?

Hold the fuck up! Did Tia just say that she felt left out before the wedding? Boo… all of the chances that Tamera gave you to be there for her ( outside of you being in the hospital) and you were ALWAYS late getting there or said you weren’t going to go, and NOW you feel left out? If you don’t kiss my ass and compare the flavor to what just came out of your mouth!

WAIT! Did Tia just yawn and then complain about how hot it is while Tamera is trying to tell her about the honeymoon? She is so rude. I cant take it. I really cannot take it. But Tamera lying on Tia’s stomach was soooo cute. They should have taken that as a picture!!

I’m so excited about Tamera’s wedding that you would think I was in the wedding party.

We get to see Tamera’s dress!!! Oh my word she looks beautiful!!!! I LOVE this dress! She makes the most amazing bride! I’m so happy for her!!!!

Tamera asked Tia if she could be in charge of the dress since she is driving to the wedding location instead of flying toNapa. Lol. Wow…what a ton of responsibility. Bwhahahaahah Them and her Pregnancy Brain and the wedding dress…lol.

Jordyn, Tia’s publicist, suggests that Cory and Tia have a “Babymoon” on the way up toNapa…lol. Wait, did Jordyn tell her to have sex from behind. Lol. This cracks me up!I LOVE Jordyn…lol. Can she be my publicist? I want her. Lol.

So Tia is in a store for pregnant lingerie…lol. I’ve seen it all. And then Tamera asks if pregnant women have sex….lol. I am dying laughing…lol. I get that Tia wants to do a Babymoon….but honey, why on Tamera’s wedding weekend. You act as if you cant have your Babymoon next weekend. Am I missing something? Because something is telling me that she got whatever it is that she for her wedding but now it just feels like Tamera is getting jipped. I just want to hug Tamera so much right now. I just want to scream!!!!! It’s bad to be upset with a pregnant woman, isn’t it?

I love the pic of the two of them in the intro. They look so much like Taj, or Taj looked so much like them.

Oh snap! Tia was supposed to fly in to Atlanta for the Mo’Nique Show. I watched when that episode aired like MONTHS ago and wondered why she wasn’t in the studio with the rest of the crew. I love how the puzzle is now coming together…lol.

Wait…. Tamera is COMPLAINING that she weighs 130 pounds. Can I get UNDER 200…lol. I love the “shrinking twin and the blowing up twin. At least they can tell us apart now” comment…lol.

I LOVE how Tamera and Adam have chosen not to live together before marriage. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!! I love how he made her hold the sheets. Lol They are so beautiful together and they make me smile.

BWHAHAHAH!!! I love how Tia laughed when the RN asked her how her diet was…lol. She did NOT say that she hears angels when she either eats or sleeps. Lol. Tia has to decide if she is going to do a hospital birth or a midwife birth at home. Hmmm… I need chloroform, so put me in the hospital. Lol.  The sonograms of Tia’s little boy is sooooo amazing!

Tia & Tamera ~ Pandora’s Box

Episode 1: Pandora’s Box

Just by looking at the intro to the season, they crack me up. Who knew that all of this was going on? Cant wait to watch.

So they go shopping onMelrose. I wish I could go shopping onMelrose. Tamera is getting married in a little while. She is going shopping for a dress for her bridal shower with Tia….they are comical to watch when they aren’t in “character”. Tamera’s engagement photos with her fiancé Adam have been leaked on the internet. Bloggers were saying that she is a white man’s whore, because her fiancé Adam is white. As a child of an interracial marriage…. Why do black people feel that we can claim her as just black? Why cant she just be a person who loves another person? Don’t let those haters slow you down, diva…. They are just bitter women sitting at home alone.

Tamera’s best friend, Andrea, is handling her bridal shower, even though Tia is the Maid of Honor. Tamera says that Tia hasn’t been focused on her Maid of Honor duties. Hold up… Tamera use to be a size six and now she is a size two? JEALOUS!!! WOW! Tia is chowing down!!!! And now Tamera is pulling up the issue of reciprocation about Tia’s supposed slacking on her Maid of Honor duties. OUCH!!!! I don’t like how Tia responded to Tamera on the : I learned I am a tad bit controlling” comment.  But I am not gonna feed my thoughts on the issue… I just didn’t like it.

Episode 12: Forget We Exist

         Okay, so by now you should know that I absolutely did not care enough about this damn show to watch or even review last week’s episode. UNTIL…. I sat down tonight and saw a season finale commercial. I felt bad. I felt guilted into writing this review because I felt like I didnt suffer through this show til the very end. So…… I am writing this portion on Sunday and the new episode comes on this Tuesday and I shall review.

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 END!!!!!

        Yep…. three days after the finale finally aired… I figured I would blog to its completion. Now…. why do they have one more episode than The Game? I soooooooo would rather be preparing my tax spreadsheet for my accountant rather than watching this, but I am not a quitter.

         Ummm.. what is up with Tasha’s bushy hair? Wait… is that the second Aunt Vivian from Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Wow… did her hair grey that fast? Wooooooooow! The original Aunt Viv still looks beautiful. Wait, not saying that her replacement isnt beautiful… okay..hell I said it. You know what I meant. Moving on.

         I now feel some kind of way watching Jackée Harry now that I know she was once married to Charles Elgin…or is it Elgin Charles? I’m sooooo not excited about this episode and you cant make me *crosses arms and pouts*.

        And did Kita just call her Mrs. Judge? Okay, so her name is Jaunita Lawrence. So I guess they had to get a light skinned mother to make up for Tasha’s skin tone…lol.

        But, to be honest, Charles and Stacy’s first meeting was the BEST acting that I have seen between the two of them the entire season! Waiiiiiit! This pinstripped dres that she has on was the coolest that we have seen Stacy the whole season? Sooooo where has this cool version of Stacy gone? Okay, soooo Joyful Drake, honey….we now know that your hair looks like a 70’s blowout because you needed it to look a certain way for the old flashback buuuuut they didnt have time to straighten it for the current time? And in these flashbacks… whywas Stacy’s hair the same in EVERY scene?

        I cannot wrap my mind around Charles’ acting. Like he broadcasts what he is thinking or about to say/do…instead of playing the opposite.

        And… what was the point of putting Troy (Tasha’s ex) there if it doesnt have ANYTHING to do with this plot. I mean I see how they used Charles to get him there, but I dont see the point of him there.

        Now Stacy’s dressis ….hold the TOMMY FUCK UP!!!! I’m waiting for Tommy ( as the pastor) to say ” You may kiss your bride, DAWG” lmao!!!

        Ummmmmmmmmm….. Is Charlse singing? And is it me, or did you not notice his lisp until he started singing this song? I mean this is second runner-up to Chris Brown’s “Atten-ten”. lol. I mean, Charlse has a nice voice… but this is when they should have had someone else sing this song FOR him. I am sitting here and all I can think of is how tall must Stacy be, or what is she standing on to be only inches below Tommy?

        Waiiiiit I spoke too soon. I think that Troy is going to be more into this plotline than I first expected. I hope so, at least.  And wow… Charles locked himself in a closet somewhere. I mean, the way that he ran out was STUPID and unbelievable. He easily could have said….I left what I wanted to say in the car. But noooooo. For dramatic effect you sat here and ran out all dramatic. SMH…. You cant make me believe that. I know you tried, but it was a horrible Douche with battery acid kind of fail!

Okay…. *sigh* it even ended like ass…..smdh

        Okay… so this past Tuesday….. I thought that BOTH The Game and Let’s Stay Together were having their season finales. And since I was sooooo swamped with having my diva Eboni Hogam visiting from out of town as my feature for my poetry shows, I only made it my business to review The Game’s  finale. I just didn’t care enough to stay up an extra 30 minutes to write about Let’s Stay Together and then another 30 minutes to edit and post. I figured that no one would care whether or not I wrote the blog or not. Now, today is officially SUNDAY….and I am sitting here watch The Family Crews and a commercial pops up with the Let’s Stay Together cast walking down the aisle… WTF?!!!!

     Okay… so I was guilted into writing this blog. Which means that after I write my blog on The Borgias I have to watch my DVR of Let’s Stay Together.Where they do that at?!!! I feel like I am being punished. I thought that it was over and I wouldnt have to write about it any more. But noooooooooo! It’s like the show that doesnt end. It’s like a yeast infection after Monistat 3 has been banned!! Its like the limp dick brother who keeps promising that he will put it on you!!! WHY!!!!

Take 2 in 5, 4, 3, 2, ,2, 2, 2, zzzzzzzz

It is Wednesday, April 6th, and I am just now MAKING myself watch this episode before I begin watching The Real McCoy. Sad, yet so true.

OH MY LORD!!!! I waited two fucking weeks and they FINALLY did not start in the bedroom!!!!! *pauses to go run in my back yard in just my undies* True shit. My backyard is dark as hell when you turn the light off…lol. This reminds me that I need a privacy fence. I am sooooo excited about this. Why didnt anyone call me?!!! Ashley? Jessyca?!!!! I feel betrayed that you all would forget that I was waiting all my life for this moment!!! Shame!!! See how black people do you. lls.

*Damn this steak and asparagus salad is delicious* SHit…. forgot I could fast forward through commercials….lol. *fast forward*

Damn… who is this actor who is playing Ellis Johnson? Ummm… tip of my tongue like a kinky night at a strippers club. Chris spencer?! yeh… that’s who that is. He is so funny.  But right now his jokes are corny. See, bad acting can make a great actor/comedian not funny.

Umm… Charles with his legs up in the air….didnt I mention the tip of my tongue? And his happy face is like.. no! OH!!!! COUNTESS VAUGHN!!! Lmao! She said “I feel it all up in my chest parts”!!!! LLS! I can’t stop laughing…hahahahahaha.I love her!!! I am so glad to see her back on the screen! Okay… Casting Director, you did well….this time.

I spoke too damn soon. Countess is carrying this scene by her damn self. Sad when a guest actor can make you laugh harder than the regulars.  Like, why is Ellis snorting? Was I the only one who heard this? And why must everyone check their phone with extended arms? Are they blind?

And wow…. we saw this setup a mile away. Of course they were going to bring dates to the comedy show. SMDH!!! Can you writers stop fucking broadcasting?!!!!!!!!!!!! You had 12 episodes to figure this shit out. smdh.I have had enough of bad writing, here and in bad life… please don’t make me shoot you with a thesaurus!

SMH. Kita calling Chanteuse out is horrible.  I am still over this whole situation. Wait…. Charmaine popping out the bathroom stall is weird and random. When was she suppose to know them? We’ve never seen her before today. Yep, Kim Whitley & Countess Vaughn are carrying this show.

Waiiiiiiiiiiiit! Okay, so this whole bathroom love confession …. Derwin has been there and done that. And it doesnt even seem believable. There are too many interruptions while they are trying to get a laugh. And I know DAMN WELL that she did NOT kneel and ask him to marry her. SMDH!!! If I see AIN’ bitch try that shit I swear I am quitting on love all together. And why did they walk all the way across the restaurant to exit when he came in from the same door the bathroom was on? So wouldnt his car be on the same side and Stacy would have caught a ride from Ellis? See…. I pay too close attention to detail to have them try to pull an okie doke on me. Still rushed and contrived. *sigh* But al least they didn’t start in the fucking bedroom.

Okay…. I MIGHT watch the next episode after this.. but I can’t stomach too much of this whack ass show!

Sincerely,

~*My Mother’s Daughter*~
