Ratch on Ratch on Ratch: 6 Questions I Need Answered About Basketball Wives

April 28th, 2012 - By MN Editor

I love it. The weekly ratchedness and overly-dramatic woman-on-woman violence that is Basketball Wives. The show is as entertaining as it is irrational. Seven non-Basketball wives thrust into a forced social circle, who throw bottles of champagne at one another over such trivial accusations questions like “why you talking about me behind my back??” To which another less ratchet non-mother effin factor will respond “Uhhhm…cuz that’s the only way the producers will sign my check.” It’s all good because in reality tv land, nothing makes sense although we’d like to think that it should. These are the questions that pop up over and over again as I watch Basketball Wives.

    Not to mention John Sally’s would be biased/unfair opinions on these “wives” and groupies, having been in the NBA himself…

  • Gangstagma

    I have a couple 1.Tami how did you blow those millions you received for your divorce settlement and end up on welfare, food stamps and all with our taxpayers money? 2.Tai why are you spending money on plastic surgery but not a decent weave as your buddy Evelyn made note of when she was blasting Kenya?

    • Tnkrbl2

      I don’t condone the ratchetness on the show but i hate when people talk crap but don’t even have the original facts straight. Tami went into her marriage with $70,000 she made off the Real World and left with $70,000. Her prenup was ironclad.

    This show runs my damn blood pressure sky high I mean really Evelyn is a poor excuse of a lady and a mother I mean she more so than others need to really sit her a** down I know this is reality TV and all but these heauxs is on some real s**t and if this is really the way she is and acts them no damn wonder you haven’t found a man to take you to the altar and if you think 85 is any kind of decent man well she deserve his kind anyway ratchet for ratchet and shaunie old messy a** if she was anykind if decent friend her or Tammy somebody would tell Evelyn to sit her cave women acting wish she was Jen or had half of class a** down I mean please get off this show and get on damn bad girls club since you bout that life.

    I admit to watching up to last season.  Now I just can’t take it anymore.  I refuse to watch.  That’s not me.  I leave BB Wives to hoodrats who believe in fighting.  

  • PROUD SISTER

    Tami lied about right is right and wrong is wrong when she stopped the bottle from hitting Kenya. She said she wasn’t going to let Kenya get hurt. But when you see Nia come to slap Jen she stood up and then moved and she said “don’t let me get in the way”. Where were your morals then. She wanted that girl to hit Jen just as Shaunie wanted that to happen also. If security wasn’t there they would have let Evelyn jump from the table and fight Jen too. I can’t say it enough that I hope that Jeniffer Williams sues
    Nia,Evelyn,Shaunie and Tami. And if VH1 feels it a slap in the face sue them also.

  • Miss_Understood

    Additional Questions I Have:

    1. When did Tami & Ev become besties?

    2. How can Ev forgive Suzie and Tami but hold this grudge against Jen, who she’s known for a decade?

    3. Why did Kenya ask for Tami’s opinion on her music career, Tami ain’t successful?

    4. Why does Royce bring a new “soul mate” on the show every season just to be played & humiliated?

    5. What did Kesha think she signed on to? She’s like a deer caught in headlights.

    6. Why is Tami judging Jen about her lawsuit when she tried to do the same last season?

    7. Does Jen regret going thru with her divorce after realizing her BFF was pushing her to do so because of her own jealousy?

    • IllyPhilly

       LMAO! Plus 3 on that. Every single question you posted needs to be asked and answered. Don’t leave out, “Is it in the day players contracts to NOT hit Tami, Evelyn, or Shaunie?” Because they never seem to get hit.

    • Thugstress326

      Spot On!!!!!

      • Mls2698

        Must be in the scripts?????

  • PROUD SISTER

    I would like to host this show. I would like to ask Shaunie,Tami,Evelyn if they really felt that Jenifer should have just let Nia Crooks slap her,let Evelyn taunt her and she talked about Jenifer the whole season. Why did any one of them care if Jen stop hanging with them. Shaunie and Tami kept bit pull Evelyn pumped up by laughing and kept the madness going then get mad when Jen sues them for the foolishness. I hope the sues all of them and maybe next time people will think before they speak. As for Nia Crooks I don’t feel sorry. She let Evelyn pump her up to do something stupid and don’t think that she should have a backlash. Give me a break. Tami should have been fired last year for the Meeka situation.Or when she jumped Evelyn about her ex husband. But I forgot she loves Evelyn so much that she don’t know where Evelyn ends and she begins.

    The question about John Sally is unnecessary… how to you expect to get a mature host on a show full of immature people? I mean, really? Someone mature would not want to be associated with the show at all.

Why wasn’t SHAUNIE or Tami upset when Evelyn talked about Royce clothes,shoes,hair and even talked about the clothes she wanted them to where in her Charity Event, & she(Evelyn) called Royce a BUMBITCH!!!!! Where was the disappointment and the fake ass crocodile tears!!!!#hypocrit

    These ratchet b**tches do nothing but gas up other bullies in real life.  They need to be quarantined from society.

      And the so-called circle that Ev keeps speaking of is more of a “ring of fire.” Stopped watching a while back.
