Basketball Wives LA
Imani, Draya, Laura, Gloria, Malaysia, Jackie
Drama=Excitement
I watch a lot of reality TV. Vh1 and MTV are just a few of my favorite television stations. On VH1 I watch a show called basketball wives. Now there is Basketball wives in Miami and there is one in Los Angeles. The season for Miami has currently ended and now I am watching Basketball Wives LA. This past episode was about the basketball wives going to Hawaii on a vacation. The women’s names our Laura, Gloria, Jackie, Malaysia, Imani, and Draya. There was a lot of drama in this episode and it seems to be all because of Jackie. She is always talking about someone and turns the girls against each other. Well in this episode Imani and Laura was not getting along because Imani heard from Jackie that Laura was talking about her. Well Imani and Laura had a conversation and realized that Jackie is the culprit behind all the drama. Jackie started to become obsessed with Imani and Laura conversation so she started discussing with Draya that Imani better not have said anything wrong about her. Now Gloria is Laura’s sister and she is just analyzing the situation and so is Malaysia. So in the next episode the truth will be revealed about all the drama that has been going on in this circle and so far the odds are against Jackie.
I enjoy watching this show, because it is entertaining. What seems to be luring about this show is the drama. There is always drama and it is interesting to watch and analyze drama that you are not a part of. You get to see all angles of the story and it is just funny. At the end of each episode it leave you with a cliff hanger because you always have to tune in for another week to get the unanswered questions you have about any episode. I know I have a role as a review and there is no hiding it. I honestly tell people I love to watch reality TV, it may not be all shows, but a lot of them are really good. My role is to be the person outside looking in. I am giving the show ratings by watching or following them on twitter. So actually when I think about it; the viewers can be looked at as the entertainers as well. We are drawn into the shows and discuss them, so the more interaction and excitement we as viewers bring to the show, the better it becomes.
It is kind of insane how they lock people into these shows by not telling you what happens until the next episode. It locks the reminder in your head so you can remember to watch again. I believe that this is one of the main reasons that people continue to watch these shows...Just to see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteI always have a love/hate relationship with those cliff hangers at the end of an episode, because it does keep you coming back to the show but at the same time you have to wait an entire week to see the show again! I think that like you and Chels said, a few of the reasons that people keep coming back to these shows is for the drama and because of the cliff hangers!
ReplyDeleteMaybe its because I'm a dude, but I don't get the draw of watching this kind of stuff, probably like you wouldn't wanna watch the NASA channel when they presnet their geologic findings on mars. I know that girls like drama, but like you said, its probably fun to watch it from the outside...I have talked to people that actually think they are part of it and get stressed about the drama thats happening in the shows. thats crazy. I guess there's not that much wrong with following along and laughing at their stupidity but some people go crazy about it.
