Basketball Wives- "Im'a Google a food stamp"

This episode starts with Royce getting the girls together at the pool to talk about the charity event that she's having with her boyfriend Dwayne. Dwayne and Royce want the ladies to walk in the fashion show part of the program. And Royce's dance group, "Fantashique", will also be performing. Evelyn looks typically unimpressed and not really interested in participating. She thinks that Dwayne is riding off of Royce's success to promote himself. Really? Evelyn why do you have to be such a hater? This man seems to genuinely like Royce and just because he's not an athlete or a "Baller" doesn't mean that the man is useless! Ughhhh- stop it! More after the jump...
Meanwhile, when Tami arrives the infamous food-stamp argument starts up again. Jennifer decides that she will utilize google to see what a food stamp actually looks like. Tami decides that she just hates Jennifer- period! These two will never be friends. Moving on...

At the fitting for the fashion show Evelyn and Jennifer take one look at the clothes and literally bust out laughing. The clothes were horrific! Royce invites Suzie to walk in the show as well and gets pissed off when she doesn't show up to the fitting. Royce needs to realize that Suzie is going to do everything in her power to avoid any further altercations with Evelyn- and rightfully so. None of the ladies have Suzie's back and if there was a fight between Evelyn and Suzie who's going to jump in on Suzie's side? Uh- nobody! Royce plays both sides, Shaunie is neutral and Tami could be swayed given her disgust with Jennifer but she barely knows Suzie so why would she jump in a fight on her behalf?

Jennifer and Eric go to a useless therapy session. But what comes to light is that he cheated on her the day before their wedding! WTH! No wonder the girl never trusted him. And why the hell did you marry him Jennifer? Eric is ready to move forward but Jennifer doesn't understand why they can't just be friends. Jennifer you need to move on girl! And weren't you the catalyst for the pushing for the divorce? If he cheated on you the day before the wedding and several times after that why continue to try and fix things? My advice-Jennifer leave Eric and his teeth alone.

"Jevelyn" decides to bail on Royce and Dwayne's event at the very last minute. Royce is pissed! She breaks the news to Dwayne and they both decide that it was better that the drama was left out of this charity event. After the debacle at Ashley's I agree.

Royce meets "Jevelyn" to find out why they pulled out of the charity event an hour before it started. "Mean" and "Evil" aka Jennifer and Evelyn immediately try to go in on how they feel Dwayne is an opportunist- blah, blah, blah,- which is basically a bunch of BS. Royce tells them that she fought for them to participate  because apparently none of the designers wanted to be bothered with their drama in the first place. With that Evelyn just blurts out that she didn't show up because she just didn't feel like it! Nasty, nasty Evelyn. Royce finally sees what the rest of the world already knows- "Jevelyn" is like a puss filled sore- disgusting!

I'll end this post with a surprising twist. Tami has a fat melting surgery and after the procedure has to heal all alone in her hotel room. Suddenly there's a knock at the door and in walks Jennifer with flowers and a card filled with none other than food stamps! Jenn explains that she wants to just call a truce and try to be friends. Tami appreciates the gesture and laughs at the food stamps.

It will be interesting to see if these two will actually keep the hatchet buried and become friends. I say no way. What do you think?

Until next week...

  1. I always felt that Tami and Jennifer would end up as BFF's. They had to go through first...almost like a test. I think their friendship will be therapeutic and more true than the rest. To me, they seem the most alike. So we will see. Great review Pam!
