Eve


How do you think she's been doing guest co-hosting this week? Honestly, I think they should hire her. I like how she's able to get involved during Girl Chat without the other ladies having to prompt her to speak and (most importantly to me) she's not an attention hog. She seems to fit right in.

She is doing great. She is a nice balance to the group and honest, but not mean. The ratings are on the uptick as well, so I think she would be a good addition.

I read about the ratings going up too and I'm glad: http://www.bet.com/celebrities/news/2016/11/02/the-real-ratings.html.

I've never cared much for Eve (always seemed like she had an attitude) but she was pretty good hosting with them. Another poster said what I was thinking about her being honest without being mean. The anti-Tamar.

"I've never cared much for Eve (always seemed like she had an attitude) but she was pretty good hosting with them."

I saw her on Punk'd years ago and she was really standoffish and moody before the prank, but I assumed that maybe she was having a bad day. She's mentioned before that she used to have her guard up in order to protect herself, but I guess she's let her walls down and now comes across as more open and friendly.

I wasn't looking forward to Eve, but she turned out to be great.

I have no complaints. She blended in with the other hosts, contributed well, had great flow with the vibe of the show. Plus she looked great. She's evolved a lot (except for when they had her clapback to a critical social media tweet).

So, if they want a 5th person, she's the one. Angela Simmons will be boring and we've already seen Monica this season and she was nothing special. I frankly don't want to see Monica again.

I didn't know she was going to co-host. Yeah, I don't expect her to be all that interesting either.

"and we've already seen Monica this season and she was nothing special. I frankly don't want to see Monica again."

Did you feel the same way about her today? I like Monica and enjoyed her today, but I still think Eve should get the job.

I didn't enjoy Monica Monday. She was OK Tuesday, but I could do without the long, preachy monologues from her.

She's dry to me. I just don't like her essence. I've simply never been fond of her, so right now Eve is still tops.

LOL. You know there are just some people you don't like and Monica is one of them for me. And when her diction sounds like a country bumpkin.... ugh.

So scared they will hire her since she's friends with Adrienne and Adrienne asked her if she was getting "comfortable" on Thursday. I was like don't get too comfy' go away.

I did think she answered the Phil Jackson questions well though.

 Her impersonation of her husband makes me laugh. "Guhl, you know I like seein' dem legs. Dem thangs so LOOOONG!"

"I did think she answered the Phil Jackson questions well though."

Same here.

Eve is still my first choice, but I also like Monica. At first I didn't think she'd blend well, because she can be so laidback that it feels like everyone else on the show is moving faster than she is, but I like her quiet way of speaking. Well, I don't know if "quiet" is the right word since the woman does love to talk a lot, but she's not as animated as some of the other ladies and calms things down a bit for me.

I guess I'm in the minority. I felt that Monica was the most hilarious to me out of Eve and Ashanti, especially when they were having the conversation about bathing in a pool of wine. Thus, I found her conversations far more interesting, particularly when she had shared her stories and the meanings behind her tattoos. Even my mom had said to me how much she really liked Monica because of her seemingly humorous personality. I really like Eve and Ashanti, but Monica had me laughing the most.

Simply me.

My "Patricia" was with Monica's about not wanting to bathe in a pool of wine. 

I have to eat my words. I love her! I enjoyed her Monday and today.

On Run's House she bored me, but at the table with the other girls, I think she has good chemistry with them.

And when she talks and shares details about her life, she is enjoyable and not trying to hog the convo or preach. Yes, she is also laid back...not hyper like the rest, a trait you praised Monica for. But unlike Monica, I actually like her. Angela's voice is soothing, too.


I would be more than pleased if she became the 5th host. Either she or Eve, I'd be fine.

*said like SHE/HER/TAMAR* Look at God! 

I was surprised by how well she's done too. Not sure if I want her as the 5th host, but she's more than decent at interacting with the other hosts. I also like the way she handled the discussion about her not remaining a virgin until marriage and getting pregnant by her fiancé. It's not like the girl's a teenager. She's a grown woman and things happen. Her baby's adorable.

Evelyn Lozada is guest hosting all this week and on a clip for tomorrow's show she's announcing her return to Basketball Wives. I watched her show on OWN and thought she'd turned a new leaf, but I guess either it got canceled or trying to better herself wasn't paying as well as going back to Tami, Shaunie and Co. 

Don't eva let nobody tell you you ain't strong enough

reply

I don't know why Evelyn is going backwards after her Iyanla moments and cozying up to Oprah enough to post a bunch of pics of the two on social media.


What happened? Guess they don't have enough material for another season of Livin' Lozada. It actually wasn't that great since Shanice wasn't an interesting or dynamic person for Evelyn to play off of.

But BW is unwatcheable. It's silly to go back. It can't be redeemed.

And Evelyn as a host on the Real...wow, so boring. I'm shocked. I thought she used to be a spitfire and crackle with energy. Maybe if she's not fighting, she can't access that part of her personality.

I would rather Jen come on Living Lozada and liven it up by restoring her friendship with Evelyn than for Evelyn to go on BW with Shaunie and Tami.

I had to laugh when Evelyn said this new season would have more "substance and depth". You can't have more of something you never had in the first place. Evelyn should already know that Tami will try to get her out of her "Iyanla has shown me the way" mode so she can jump back into the gutter with the rest of them.

As for her co-hosting, I liked her on yesterday's show (probably because the Girl Chat segments featured topics she had more experience with), but found her ok today.

She's not bad. I had no idea who she was but she seems nice enough, and she blends pretty well. She's okay!

reply

Today's Girl Chat had me misty! I remember when Ocho headbutted Evelyn and a lot of people said she got what she deserved because of her own violent tendencies on Basketball Wives. No excuse!

Side bar, I wish Loni hadn't cut Jeannie off when she was talking about her guy friend. On the one hand, it's not the best idea to talk about it on national television since it could go back to her friend, but on the other, Jeannie wasn't asking if she should remain friends with him. She was saying that she didn't know what to do with the information.

I never bought Evelyn's changed woman act. Not surprised she's going back to Basketball Wives.
