THE REAL HOUSEWIVES CORNER..........

It cannot be argued that one of the biggest reality tv franchises that have captured the world is the Real Housewives franchise. I am a dedicated fan and I am a follower of most of the cities. I will be using this segment of the blog to comment on the Real Housewives franchises so enjoy.....

1. The introduction of The Real Housewives of Lagos

I must say that today was a significant day for the African Real Housewives franchises because they just received serious competition in the form of the ladies of Lagos. The premiere episode contained what I love in every premiere Real Housewives episode; we got a glimpse into the lives of five of the ladies and the episode contained both a touch of shade and humor. The only criticism I have is that the producers spent way too much screentime on each cast member this resulted in us as the viewers not getting enough scenes of the ladies interacting together but it was sufficient to get us to tune in next week. I must say I already have a few favorites but here is what I think of the ladies that we have already been introduced to.

1. Carolyna Hutchings - I believe that Carolyna will not really stir up a lot of drama in sense of her coming for the other ladies but some of the cast members might come for her. I also believe that the storyline for the season will revolve around her history with Tiannah as hinted by Laura that there might be a history of tension between the two.

2. Laura Ikegi- This one cast member has already started to work for a contract renewal for the next season. The amount of shade that she was throwing at the first event of the season just proves that she has a lot to say about the ladies and she is not afraid of showing her dislike of other cast members such as Carolyna and Chioma.




3. Chioma- This is one lady who will definitely be an acquired taste for some of the ladies. The initial first reaction one would have of Chioma is that she is a bit aloof but I was pleased to see her interacting well with the other ladies (well some of them).


4. Toyin - This diva extraordinaire is definitely a favorite of mine already. I believe that she will give us positive Nene Leakes vibes in the sense of trying to believe all the girls together. I love the fact that she was positive during her interactions with the other ladies and that ball of energy is infectious.

5. Iyabo- I appreciate her honesty and openness during the first episode as it would not be easy to discuss her history of abuse. I expect some more transparency from her and being a loyal friend to Toyin. I also appreciate the fact that she was open to opening up to the other ladies, unlike Laura.

The ladies have definitely got me begging for more, I cannot wait until next week's episode.

1. The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills trailer


I honestly thought that we were going to get another mediocre season of RHOBH which starts off pleasant before all the drama kicks in but the trailer sorta-kinda proved me wrong. We can definitely expect Erika to show off her villainous side and coming for some of the other ladies most notably Garcelle and poor Crystal. I cannot wait to see Lisa Rinna inserting herself in the Richard sister's drama again and us getting that evil grin of hers again. The rest of the information spilled in the trailer was titillating in the sense of us as the viewers wanting o know exactly what happened especially the exile of Kathy Hilton. The new season will premiere on 11 May 2022.

The Fergusons vs Former Employees

Hey guys so this is a story I have been wanting to cover on the blog but I had a feeling that I should wait because I knew it was gonna be taken to another level. The drama started with Vatiswa Ndara publishing an open letter where she states that she and the rest of the cast wanted to submit Igazi  for the international Emmys. The open letter included correspondence between Vatiswa and the office of the minister of Arts & Culture, Nathi Mthetwa where Ms Ndara requested for funding to submit nominations for Igaz i. The office responded that unfortunately they could not allocate the requested funds. The story then took a turn when the Fergusons issued a statement that they were not able to provide Miss Ndara with the R700 000 that she requested, this was a fact that was not included in Miss Ndara's open letter and social media posts. the production company then went on to refute other allegations made by Miss Ndara such as that the production company benefits from th...
