Tonight is the Night
Tonight @ 10pmMarch 2nd is upon us ladies and gentlemen. Way back when I told you guys that I was going to be on a reality show…well it premieres tonight. I had trouble sleeping last night believe it or not, and it wasn’t because of anticipation of the premiere.
I think it is because I’ll be on 106 and Park today. Now, I have no problem talking to people and I obviously don’t mind being on camera…but 106 and Park is a live taping and so many things can go wrong! For example, I am sitting here talking to Andrew about 106 and Park and he says, “Well first thing is first…zip up your pants.” I mean…what if I am on national tv and my fly is wide open, 100% a horrible look for the kid.
Real talk, this day crept up on me. Just yesterday it was October and I was getting ready to start filming.
Well…there is no turning back now obviously. Today is like the unofficial ‘Harlem Heights Day.’ After 106 and Park, I’ll be on 106 and Park radio (didn’t know it existed!), then you can catch me on Rip the Runway at 9pm and two episodes of the show from 10 to 11. I know…crazy day.
While you guys are watching (hopefully!!) I’ll be at the red carpet premiere. Yeah man they went all out for this one. I’m going to post some photos of my whole night, so stay tuned and watch tonight at 10pm on BET!

you know not every day is one that I can honestly say is a good day, but today, I woke and was like ya know “today’s gonna be a good day”. I got in the car to drive to work no traffic, my boss is in a good mood, and then some rep shows up, so my boss calls me into his office and it’s this young fine ass Asian girl, I just like DAMN! could today get any better, then she tells me I should join her at this bar next time I’m in CALI… Now if only this show is good (I gotta support the Dime Crew) it will have been a good day!

Very cool, good luck at the Premiere and you’ll get ratings from me up here in Seattle. Not my usual show, but because I am on Dime an hour or so a day, I figure I can give the show a try!

Hey CFG. Was waiting for you to say something about this. I caught a story on the show on HuffPost.com…NY Times wrote something on the blatant product placement that had to go on during the show.
What Johnson and Johnson product do you use the most??? Really. LOL
Good luck tonite. Will be sure to set the DVR.

CGF that looked like one of them trouble kisses. I had to rewind it and was like “Daaang is that CGF, whoaaa!”
How BIG say it “Death stroke – tongue all down her throat ”
I am sure you gonna have ya whole style on 10, and the highlights seem like you guys are dressed up through each show lol.
What they need to do is just let Roxy and Free do the show period and cut the middle dudes.

is this ‘reality’ tv?
there is no such thing as reality tv. there’s a script, and there’s editing, to put together juice stuff and interesting stuff.

…Sorry to take up you’re spotlight and all (props btw) but anyone else realize today’s the premiere of Charles Barkley’s new show?
The show is all about trying to fix his golf swing, lmao. I’m not usually into this type of stuff, but after seeing the trailer I might just check it out. [trailer link below - remove spaces if any]

Here is what some bloggers are saying:
Tried to watch the show in between turning back and forth to Ray J (guilty pleasure) and I’m sorry it was lame. Nice try but no cigar. Even the parts that were aimed at being uplifting i.e. father with son, the young dad with his daughter- they were boring and the “acting”/ scenarios were horrible and way too contrived.
I tried to watch it, but it just came off too scripted. ITo be honest BET needs some way better shows, instead of ripping off mtv with every little show. Be creative and stop buying all these old shows. Its nice too see a group of young african-american people do good, but it was boring. I pass, I’d rather watch ray-j kick a groupie off, than this mockery.
The show was kind of wack… it just screams SCRIPTED!
But I like the fact that the crew are in their mid 20s, educated, and holding down careers. Reminds me so much of me and my homegirls
I tried to support the show but after watching 15mins of it, I just couldn’t do it…The show is boring, BET needs to bring back College Hill
I gave the show a chance but couldn’t make it through the whole hour. I agree with the others–the show is scripted.
I actually watched the premier yesterday and that had to be the worst “reality” show I’ve ever seen in my life! It looked so staged and unnatural. I was very confused with how the cast originally came together and how they all knew each other. I felt like the production and editing could’ve been executed better. It just looked as if they were jumping from scene to scene and there was no real transition or plot. Maybe I am looking into it too much, maybe I’m not. Needless to say I was very disappointed. It’s a terrible rip off of the hills and the city (all MTV shows). In short, the premier sucked! lol.
