Love & Hip-Hop: New York

The third season of Love & Hip-Hop brought on many new characters unfamiliar to the public until now. The only returning member from the previous season is Yandy Smith. This season had many twists and turns all unexpected by the audience.

The season finale of the show was filled with drama and unexpected situations. Yandy Smith, a manager for some celebrities, had the most heartbreaking situation. In the previous episode, everything was going great for her. Her boyfriend and the father of her first child, Mendeecees, had bought her a house and proposed to her. Life was great up until federal agents came to her house looking for him and charging him with possession of drugs. Mendeecees ends up turning himself in to the courts. Yandy is now left to raise her newborn son by herself.

Rapper Joe Budden decided to break up with his girlfriend, Kaylin and try to work things out with his ex-girlfriend Tahiry. Throughout the whole season, Joe found a way into Tahiry's life going as far as traveling with her to the Dominican Republic as "support". Kaylin was supportive but it was heartbreaking to watch her let Joe be in contact with Tahiry so closely. It didn't come to a surprise to anyone besides Kaylin when he decided to try again with Tahiry.

Love & Hip Hop: New York has brought laughs and comedy to the VH1 network. The new Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta is back on the air having the audience see that this season is even more drama filled than ever. Stay tuned for the season in Atlanta.

Black Ink Crew

Ceaser, Dutchess, Puma, and Sassy of Black Ink Crew

So Black Ink Crew, a new show on VH1, follows 7 men and women on their job as tattoo artists. Now I told myself I wouldn't be watching this show, but I lied. I tune in every Monday after Love & Hip Hop and watch the craziness that unfolds each episode.


This week's episode was filled with drama, drama, and more drama! Ceaser, the owner of the tattoo shop, decides to bring the crew to one of the biggest tattoo conventions in Vegas which ended up being a mistake. Ceaser tends to forget that just because they are his friends, they are also his employees and he needs to make money.


Every show seems to have the issue of mixing business with pleasure and that is exactly what Ceaser is doing right now. He is trying to have a relationship with his employee, Dutchess. It seems all nice and dandy at the moment but I'm sure things will get hectic and complicated when she expresses her love to him. She already proclaimed she loved him to a famous tattoo artist with no hesitation. Wait until Ceaser hears this one!

This show is just another way to prove that African-American businesses don't seem to thrive. With all of the arguing they do, I probably have seen them do maybe three tattoos. They are too busy trying to sleep with each other and fight that they seem to forget that they need to make money in order to keep the business open. I'm sure they have talent but thank God that they are on a show and making money from that or this tattoo shop would be closed so quick.

Bad Girls Club

The new episode of Bad Girls Club Season 10 aired Tuesday night and I must say this season has had too many fights and the season is only on episode 4! These fights are provoked by the producers, they have to be. Some of the arguments between the girls are so petty and unrealistic that I have to believe that the producers pick these fights.

The fight between Nikki and Valentina was stupid. Valentina was upset that Nikki was belligerent and broke glass. Who cares? She's drunk, that has nothing to do with you Valentina.

Even though this show is so entertaining to me, it makes me hate my gender sometimes. Females can be so catty and stupid.

After the fight, Nikki decides it is in her best interest to leave the show. She claimed she was a "bad girl" this whole time, and when someone decides to put a fist in her face she can't handle it. She even called her mother and cried about everything. These girls are supposed to be so big and bad yet many of them end up going home. If you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen!

A new girl has now joined the cast, Jenniffer, who is there to replace former cast member Janae, seems to be like a ball of fun. She's crazy and energetic but I wonder if she truly is a bad girl.

The new episode airs next Tuesday and from the previews, it is going to be another night of fighting and cursing. Jenniffer is already getting into a fight with the new girl who is there to replace Nikki over what it seems to be, a Hot-Pocket. I will be tuning in at 8 pm next Tuesday on Oxygen, will you?
