Little Women: LA Returns Tonight; Little Women: Atlanta Premieres!
Tonight Little Women: LA returns for a fourth season. Time flies! The returning cast includes Terra Jole, Elena Gant, Briana Manson, Jasmine Sorge, Christy McGinty and Tonya Banks.
Even though Traci Harrison-Tsou is busy taking care of her new baby, hopefully she’ll make an appearance or two! Last season’s newbie Brittney “Freakabritt” Guzman will not be returning.
We already know that the ladies are going to have plenty of drama this time around. Terra and Christy’s altercation will be shown later in the season, so we’ll get to judge the severity of that head injury/glass toss for ourselves. I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out and whether or not Christy or Terra will leave the show over it since Christy has now filed charges against Terra.
Hopefully this isn’t a sign of how the entire season will go. Let’s cross our fingers for some fun and light-hearted moments, too, and get back to the feel of season 1. At least for the beginning of the season!

Little Women: Atlanta also kicks off tonight and Lifetime promises it will be a wild ride. With a new cast that includes club promoter Emily Fernandez, along with identical twins, Andrea Salinas and Amanda Salinas, and their co-stars Bri Barlup, Ashley “Minnie” Ross and Tiffany “Monie” Cashette, the preview gives us hope for a fun season.
From Lifetime: “The drama heats up with these friends as catfights erupt among their feisty personalities and power hierarchies. Like many friends, they deal with problems with their parents, fights over men and one little lady even has a baby on the way. When it comes down to it, this clique is not afraid to get into it with each other, but together they face the daily challenges that come with being a little person while proving they are the true queens of Atlanta.”
Get a glimpse of the upcoming season here. I’m in as long as they don’t go overboard with the fighting or jump right into the drama before we even get to know the ladies. That’s the fastest show killer for me!
Little Women: LA kicks off on Lifetime at 9 EST/8 CST and Little Women: Atlanta premieres right after at 10 EST/9 CST.

RHOA’s Porsha Williams Says Nude Photos Are ‘Just Not Her Thing’
No one can argue how the Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Porsha Williams morphed into an exhibitionist of sorts, in an effort to kick to the curb, the straight-laced society image she maintained while married to her ex Kordell Stewart. The now bolder and bootylicious Porsha chatted with Bravo.com about sexting and surprisingly, the talk show co-host is a lot more prudish than her fans would think.
RHOA viewers have been entertained by a more ‘turnt up,’ devil-may-care Porsha over the last couple of years. She dresses to tease and has an attitude to match, coquettish to a fault, flaunting her curves in boob-baring or booty-enhancing numbers. Porsha’s narcissism about herself has certainly been played up on the show, so admitting to Bravo ‘nude photos are just not her thing‘ is a shockingly unexpected response.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR THE REST
The RHOA castmates have even poked fun at how Porsha struts her wares without modesty, so how is it that the young Atlanta socialite would not be into a little sexting? “Half of the time I think my butt’s too big and my angles are off, so I don’t take them. It’s so much work to take the right selfie of your body that I give up, LOL! When I do take one, it’s of Coco and Chanel! I love how my breasts look in my Naked Lingerie line, so I will take pics of myself, but I never send them to anyone,” she admits.

Porsha, who owns a hair extension line, also has a lingerie company, Naked Lingerie, that features very risqué items. She has modeled a few of her very own you-might-as-well-be-naked lingerie pieces and has posed for countless, brow-raising shots modeling swimwear that resembled dental floss!
Go figure?

Kathryn Edwards Dishes On the Faye Resnick Situation; Read The Book Excerpt
From what the viewers were shown last night, Kathryn Edwards didn’t say a tenth of what she initially wanted to say to Faye Resnick when finally given the chance. Instead, she took to her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills blog to share her feelings. She also touched on that awkward age conversation with Lisa Vanderpump.
Kathryn says she was fine with LVP’s questions, “I wasn’t offended by Vanderpump’s asking me my age, I’m very proud to say how old I am. Why wouldn’t I be? And I am also very proud to have married my husband, regardless of our age difference. It’s never mattered to me. Age is a number…I can be curious about age differences, too, but that’s all it is. I want to understand couples and what makes them work. Maybe Vanderpump wanted to know what it was like to be with such a young, hot stud, haha…kidding Ken. I found Vanderpump’s questions engaging and funny, but I am sure others might not see it that way. I guess that those are things I would also ask and then be surprised I offended someone. And that’s all I have to say about that.”
Kathryn then gets to the Faye confrontation (or lack thereof), “OK…so lets cut to the chase…here it is…this is what you really want to know. My reaction to Faye was this: If she would have been more reticent with her feelings, I would have spoken differently to her, but from the moment we sat down at the table, Faye’s body language, much like Rinna’s description, was desperately trying not to engage with me. I saw her drinking shots before we sat down, and she was sheepish from the start. She had an ignominious posture, and I knew she didn’t want to go there. I thought about it…my wheels were turning, and I was playing it out in my head on fast forward.”
She continues, “As I said in this episode, I didn’t go there looking for a fight, but if she wanted one, she was sure going to get it. Faye has a sordid past. I read her Wikipedia page (she should pay someone to clean that up), and she doesn’t look like the face of truth and virtue. It would have been easy to touch on a few things to knock her down to size, but I am a lady, and engaging at Kyle’s with such an intense subject would have ruined the dinner party–I mean the BBQ. Faye’s blanket apology to the table was general, but she doesn’t know me to say more than that. All I wanted to see and hear was that she was sorry for what she had done, not just to me but to Nicole’s memory. Desperate people do desperate things.”
And for Erika Girardi, Kathryn says that Faye’s decision to work with a writer from a tabloid is telling. “Erika, I don’t read the Enquirer, do you? When Faye decided to share her story, she chose to pen the book with Mike Walker, a writer from the Enquirer. It was described as a “highly sensational, instant book” written by a self-proclaimed serious substance abuser. Faye spoke of the nights of partying and shared her intimacy with her “best friend.” Excerpts of the book were on the cover of the Enquirer weekly, it was in quotes. I read what Faye had to say about me, I couldn’t miss it at the grocery store checkout line…that was good enough. I’ll pass on that page turner. If Faye thinks that is the way to honor her best friend, who needs enemies? And in true Enquirer form, what she said regarding me is a lie. Couldn’t I have just been abducted by martians instead?”
If you’re curious about Kathryn and how exactly she’s mentioned in Faye’s book (she’s only mentioned in Faye’s first book, not the second one), Bravo shared the excerpt below.
Then she came to the other names she so desperately did not want to reveal. Finally, Nicole admitted her affair with Marcus Allen. She quickly told OJ that she’d only let him “play” with her. She didn’t admit to actual intercourse. OJ exploded. He turned on her like a man possessed. Nicole told me OJ threatened her, saying “If you’re ever with Marcus again, I’ll…I don’t know what I’ll do, but it will be bad. I won’t be able to control myself.” He wouldn’t let it end. It held up the reconciliation attempt for months. At times we were worried that OJ might take revenge on Marcus by telling his fiancée Kathryn about the affair with Nicole. That would have been a disaster, because Kathryn was a sweet woman who was well aware of Marcus’ womanizing and might have felt she had to call off the wedding. OJ did not do that, but he did confront Marcus. No one knows exactly what was said, but it ended up with him swearing to OJ that he would never touch Nicole again. Marcus said it wouldn’t be a problem anymore, because he was getting married.
And then later in the book she mentions Kathryn again for a short minute:
“Kris, I don’t know what to think about this. I know Marcus Allen has been trying to get my phone number, and Nicole wants me to go out with him to the Monkey Bar. I like Marcus but not in that way. On the other hand, I’d like to keep him as a friend, because he is a friend of Nicole’s. What do you think?” Kris said, “Whatever you do, don’t go out with Marcus Allen. He’s the biggest womanizer in the world and don’t forget he’s engaged to Kathryn. She turns a blind eye to his fooling around, but it hurts her when he does it publicly.”

The Dissolution of the Diary Room [Op-Ed]
All things evolve over time, and this is especially true for reality television. Take a look at season one of Big Brother, it’s virtually a different program all together than the product we’ve been delivered in recent years. Anyone who slogged through Big Brother 1 will tell you that it’s a good thing, and believe me, it is. But evolution doesn’t always go in the right direction.
Judd Daugherty in the Diary Room (Source: CBS, Big Brother 15)
So many elements of our beloved summer fix are better than they used to be. Remember when the Power of Veto wasn’t a thing in season two? Or when a houseguest couldn’t use it to save themselves in season three? The game has surely evolved in mostly positive ways.
Not always though, I have virtually nothing good to say about the Battle of the Block. My thoughts on that have been outlined thoroughly when I criticized the predictable, strategy-reducing twist last summer.
Despite all the changes and evolution we’ve seen over the years, one constant that’s been an element within Big Brother since season one is the Diary Room. It’s been a fixture where houseguests reveal their innermost thoughts to the cameras, producers, and ultimately America. It used to be anyways. More recently, it’s been less of an outlet for houseguests to vent about the stress of the game and their fellow houseguests, and more of a vehicle to provide narration and cheesy often producer-encouraged soundbites.
Believe me, I understand narration is necessary for story-telling purposes. That I cannot complain about sufficiently, but the blatant production-engineered comments have been somewhat frustrating in recent years. Not all houseguests are force-fed lines by production, but it is very apparent that certain houseguests are better at coming up with their own material than others.
Britney Haynes in the Diary Room (Source: CBS, Big Brother 14)
Britney Haynes comes to mind as a diamond in the rough of recent houseguests who have seemingly been able to come up with their own one-liners, and that speaks to her biting wit more than anything else. There are a few others more fortunate than most to be personalities that pop naturally on camera, I’d imagine houseguests such as Daniele Donato, Da’Vonne Rogers, John “Johnny Mac” McGuire, and Amanda Zuckerman had no problems coming up with their own material.
But it’s been well documented that often production encourages the houseguests to say certain things or for the houseguests to portray themselves in a light different from how they might typically. For instance, I recall from various interviews that Jason Roy and Andy Herren both had mentioned that they were asked to make sexual comments about men or phallic-themed references that made them uncomfortable. Some houseguests refuse to go along with what production asks of them, others are happy to play the part and be a production puppet. Some (unfortunately) take it a step further and develop a persona for the show: I’m looking at you, Austin. Or perhaps Judas.
What houseguests are asked to say in the Diary Room more often than not relates to who production wants the houseguest to be on the show. I think we all know that casting process is somewhat formulaic in terms of the personalities that end up filling up the house. This translates to the show, particularly to resonate with a more casual audience, by having houseguests represent one dimensional characters like “the jock”, “the ditz”, “the nerd”, and “the bitch.” I believe the show does itself a true disservice by doing this. Nobody fits into a narrow box such as this and if they do, they aren’t worth having been cast in the first place.
All you have to do is watch some Diary room footage to figure out who production wants the houseguest to come across as. More often than not, it’s a one-dimensional stereotype of the actual personality. Sometimes they even take it a bit further with little bits that the producers request of the houseguests, such as Victoria holding up the little signs and hiding behind the chair during narration of a particularly explosive Power of Veto competition.
Zach Rance in the Diary Room (Source: CBS, Big Brother 16)
There are so few authentic moments in the Diary Room anymore. One in recent memory is Zach’s emotional breakdown after learning about Frankie’s sister and the fact that it wasn’t fair to the remaining houseguests to have him in there. Some of the best real, raw, authentic footage is kept on the cutting room floor. Emotionally vulnerable moments like those help humanize the houseguests and not turn them into one-dimensional, often unlikable characters.
Feed watchers like myself have two main reasons to tune into the non-live episodes, both of which involve viewing footage we are denied from watching on the feeds: the competitions and Diary Room footage. With the way things have evolved in recent years, the Diary Room is less and less of a push for me personally. I don’t care what production wants the houseguests to tell us, I want authentic thoughts directly from the houseguests, without the influence of production.
My advice to Big Brother players: be yourself in the Diary Room as much as production will allow. Be interesting enough where they won’t choose to ignore you, but at best, be an exaggerated version of yourself and let us inside your perspective. Take us on the journey with you.
And to the producers: people are cast each season to bring something different to the table. Let the houseguests shine, let them share their thoughts and find a way to let them be themselves, instead of forcing soundbites down their throats that probably don’t accurately depict their thoughts. I promise you, the show would be better for it.
