The Basketball Wives

Last night I reveled in the reunion of the VH1's Basketball wives.
After I got past the lackluster host and her facial expressions, the show
was to die for. Two thumbs up to Shaunie O'neal and her crew for entertainment
well done.
Like every reunion show, the host went through the cast of women, who only one is
an actual wife minus the most prolific sounding Gloria, who to me, her answers where always well rehearsed, and quickly revisited their experiences on the show.
The very gangster Shaunie O'Neil, the most poised Jennifer, the lovely Evelyn and our girl Royce responses to the events that unfolded on air compensated for poor editing VH1. Who was the producer?
The highlight was without a doubt 'Plastic Surgery'. The alleged known Miami's groupie who looked a mess, but took advantage of her camera time, promoting herself and endeavours. Her ongoing rivalry with Susie Ketcham escalated to a bucket of water being thrown on her, being pushed which resulting in her falling, which for obvious reasons had to be edited out.
I couldn't contain my laughter. But Karma sufficed when Ms. Ketchum was arrested after the taping.
Where was Gloria? Should I have even asked that question? And did we miss her? No. Her fiance 'Matt Barnes who?' felt the need to show his true colors and vented on twitter today, blasting Mrs. Oneil and calling her out on how she treated poor Gloria. Poor Gloria did this to herself. One of my favorite lines of season 1 was at the finale when Gloria Govan said to Royce "you will never be a wifey with a ring".
What planet is this chick living on, isn't the point to a wife not a wifey. Is this the message of Ms. educated. Girls just get the ring and settle for wifey forget being the wife. Stupid.
My message is girls get your own and don't push out twins and wait for a dude to prove a point and announce his marriage to you on twitter. Fail
Vh1, you have a hit and can't wait for season 2.
