• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned, We'll be right back after these quick ads. Hey,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: rain drop today's episode of Reality with the King. Yes,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I'm counting down the top five best reality shows of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Look, this year has been amazing. It's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: been fantastic. And before we you know, celebrate Santa Claus,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the cookies and some milk. Yes, look at cookies, we
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: also got to celebrate the shows that I feel were
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the best of this year. I normally do this on Twitter.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So some of the past winners of the best reality
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: shows have been The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, BT Presents,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: The Encore, and Love and Marriage Huntsville. So who's going
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to make the list today? Who is going to be
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: number one? So before I kick things off, I got
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to make sure that you guys understand the rules.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Okay. So there's a lot of shows that have aired.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, and there's a lot of shows
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that are currently airing in.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But in order for this to be fair, the entire
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: season has to rap before twenty twenty two ends.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So for example, you all know my favorite reality show
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: on Bravo right now is The Real Housewives Epotomac. Okay,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: but the entire season isn't going to rap by the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: end of this year, so I can't add them to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: my list. I mean, the guy is would they be
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on the list based on these few episodes I've been watching?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess you have to wait and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: see next year.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But a good example is if a show has culminated okay,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's season without finishing the reunion, then yes it can
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: make the list because technically the season finale means that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the season has ended. So those are the rules that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I wanted to display before y'all reading for filth on Twitter,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: like y'all do all the time. Child, although y'all give
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: me props too, so let's be clear. So before I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: give you my top five best reality shows of twenty
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: twenty two, I want to first wish all of you
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a happy holidays. And now that Reality with the King
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is taking a little break for the holidays, so we'll
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: be back in January with all all new episodes, and baby,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: we got some exclusives for you. You do not want
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to miss these episodes that's dropping in January. Yes, So,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: without further ado, here is Carlos Kings Top five best
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: reality shows of twenty twenty two. Coming in on number
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: five is going to be Rue Paul's Drag Race All
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Stars Season seven.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, So I know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I don't talk about Rue Paul's Drag Race a lot
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: on this podcast, but it is truly one of my
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: favorite shows. It's so good, it's so juicy, and the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: All Star Season seven was exceptional because we got a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: chance to see some of these R Star queens compete
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and live it up, and I loved everything about it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about Monet Shake kole A, like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Jinx mont Soon, We're talking about some of the best
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: drag queens in the history of the franchise. I really
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't feeling the regular season of All Just keep the real.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I wasn't feeling the regular season of Rue Paul's Drag Race.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Child, I'll stop watching it. I just wasn't into it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And I damn sure it was not into the celebrity
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: version of RuPaul's Drag Race either. Child wasn't into that, sorry,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: But what I was into, Honey, was All Stars Season seven.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You had Trinity, the Tough, Shae kool Ai, Roger Evy,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Jada Essence Hall. I mean you had some of the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: best queens that the franchise has ever seen. And I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: am a you Mongous shay koula fan like who mong is.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And I really thought Miss Thing was going to take
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the crown until she just started to not have some
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of the best moments. And little did I know that
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Monet Baby Monetue was better than I anticipated, and she
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: definitely blew my wig off.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I thought Moneue was like child.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I mean not saying she should have won, because I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: definitely think Jinx Montu was deservingly the winner because she
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was so funny and she was just so great. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the comedy, I mean, Miss Think gave you a good
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: old joy Behar comedy action. I thought Jinks Mons, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: mean was everything, was everything. But when it comes to money,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: who won second place? She blew me away? And I
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: just thought she was fantastic. And the All Stars version
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of Drag Race, to me, is the best of the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: best because it's nice to see our favorite queens just.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Go out there and make magic happen.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So coming in at number five is RuPaul's Drag Race
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: All Stars season seven. Coming in at number four, it's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Married to Medicine, Married to Medicine, will forever be the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: most underrated show on Bravo.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Is the most sleptone show on Bravo.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: It's the show that you guys aren't watching, and I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: do not understand why. I mean, I mean, I got
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: my theories, but we'll talk about that later. Married to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Medicine is truly one of the best shows on Bravo
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: and truly one of the best reality shows. It is
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: consistently good, It is consistently great. Those ladies, let's talk
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: about real friendships. The things that we all love about
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Marathion Medicine is what we were hoping to see on
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: other reality shows, which is those ladies are friends on
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and off camera, and their issues are rooted deeply. It's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: not just like, Okay, let's all have an agenda and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: go in reading each other for Phil and let's all
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: set up one person to take the fall this season,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and let's all have an alliance to really make sure
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that one person iced out the group so they can
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: get fired. Maritime Medicine doesn't operate in that way, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that's the reason why the fans love the show, and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that's the reason why they have a consistent audience. I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: do want their audience to grow because they deserve to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: have the same ratings as the Housewise franchise. It's really
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that good. I mean, we're talking about the amazing Doctor Heavenly, Quad, Toya.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's an all star cast, and they give
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you their real lives, they give you their real issues
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: with their husbands. They do the best at casting new people.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I loved Audra, who was one of the new women
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that was brought into the fold, honey, when she chin
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: checked Toya and Toya said, bitch, not today, and they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: always got to a little scuffle until Toya was reminded, girl,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: don't you go back to you work?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Season one.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: This season was fantastic, And I know that y'all have
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: this love hate relationship with Quad, but when Quad is
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: on the screen, you can't not undermine her greatness. I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: liked Quad soliloquy when she told the girls call me
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra because I did it my way, not Usher's
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: my way, Honey, Frank Sinatra. I thought that was funny.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I think Quat is hilarious. I'm still trying to get
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: warmed up to Anila. I still feel like she's a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: sore thumb out of the group. I feel like that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was a hire to replace the culture that Mariah Hawk
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and her husband brought.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Listen. I said it because I think it's true.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So I I'm still not feeling her.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, and I'm not being mean about it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I just think she's on the wrong show. She's on
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the wrong show. She's on the wrong show. But you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: have doctor Jackiet, you have Doctor Simone, you have Doctor Contessa.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You have these amazing women who do such a stellar
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: job at making great television.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: And they had a great reunion.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: As well, which is why I will never understand why
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: they get treated like the step children. And they have
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: been on for almost ten years, and I feel like
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the world needs to put some respect a Marria to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Medus's name because it's truly one of the best shows
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: on the network. And what I would like for all
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of my listeners to do, if you have enough time
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: during the break, is to truly catch up on this
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: amazing show, because I promise you you will not be disappointed.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Who I hate to interrupt, but stay tuned for more.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these quick asss. This is
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. Let's get
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: back into the show. Come again, At number three is
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Love and Marriage Huntsville. Yeah, come on, Hunt, this has
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: been one of the best seasons of Love and Marriage Huntsville.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It's been a very long season, two Child. Yes, I
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: know y'all been said Carlos. This season phils Flock has
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: been off forever, and yes, this show has been.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm laughing at this because it's funny.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Love and Marriage Huntsville has been on since I want
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: to say, either January or February of twenty twenty two,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: so Child, it kind of been on all year round,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: although we had a two month hiatus. AnyWho, this season
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of Love and Marriage Huntsville brought some of the best
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: moments in reality TV history. I'm talking about, Yes, your
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: favorite moment, which will be the Madonnie melee with Miss
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Wanda and Melody and Martel and Marceu and all of
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that drama that happened.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, Lord Jesus.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: What was so crazy about that melee is it happened
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in real time on Instagram Live. Y'all watched some of
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it in real time, and then it was the one
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: thing y'all kept asking for while we were on hiatus,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: which was so interesting to me. Y'all begged for it,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: y'all wanted to see more of it, and then what
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: y'all saw, y'all tried to read me, how dare you air.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: That you can't be a flu's child?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But not only did we have some crazy moments, I
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: also want to talk about some beautiful moments. I mean,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: obviously I want to truly dedicate this entire episode to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Kimmy Scott. She is the first reality star of an
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: ensemble cast who has divulged that she had breast answer
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and to be able to show that and to show
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: how she's dealing with it, and to follow the reality
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of her telling the able cast members. You know, look,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: as someone who has, as you all know, been producing
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: for almost fifteen years, you would think that a lot
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of women on these ensemble shows would have dealt with
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that or talked about it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I think personally, some may have dealt with it and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: chose not to talk about it and listen, I understand
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and I respect that as well, because it's not easy
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to be so vulnerable in that moment and to know
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that Kimmy once thought like, Okay, this is my time
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to remove myself from the show because I'm dealing with
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: something so serious. We all would have obviously understood and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: respected Kimmy's decision if she felt the need to leave
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the show. So the fact that she decided to continue
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: on and said, you know what, I have this platform.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I made a dedication to show my real life. Just
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: because I'm dealing with something that came out of nowhere,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to not allow my.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Fans to go on this journey with me.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: And I give Kimmy all the props in the world
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: for that. That alone makes this season one of the best,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: because y'all know my formula is follow the reality, Follow
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the reality, and Kimmy's bravery has really empowered me to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: continue that message and to allow my cast to feel
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: comfortable with the production in order to be safe enough
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to have these conversations and to go through this moment.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: And I listen, if I could.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Not love Kimmy anymore, I love her even more now
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: for that, And like I said, that alone makes this
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: season one of the best of all time. So thank
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you for that, Kimberly as I call her. The other
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: moments is this season brought on Tisa's cousin Kikey Baby
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Ki Ki chai Yo.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Keikey and Tisha's.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Storyline gave you a good old Teresa Melissa Gorgates. I
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: mean to see two family members have this serious conversation about,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you know, just their history. I mean, obviously the difference
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: between Keikey and Tisha, Unlike Melissa and Teresa Judais is
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Keikey and Taisha are blood related, their first cousins, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: that's why their situation has been deep and it's been
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: very interesting to watch. What's also been interesting to watch
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: will always be how Melody and Martel navigate their lives
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: post divorce. You know, we've seen their ups and downs,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and we've also seen, yes them come back together in
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Florida and have a family vacation and to really see
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the memories that they were creating for their children was
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: also special to watch, and I'm hoping that we see
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: more of that. Although Child once y'all see this three
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: PARV reunion that airs December thirty first, Yes, New Year's
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Eve hosted by yours truly Carlos King.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Child.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: The Melody and Martel saga continues, but I'm not going
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to spoil anything.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The only thing I'm going.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: To say is this three Parker reunion is better than
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: last season's reunion. And y'all know last season's reunion was
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: ever for three Darling. It was everything little shameless pluck, okay,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: but to wrap up Love and Marriage Huntsville. I mean, look,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: we had Marcel dealing with the cheating accusations. We had
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: him and Tisha Child in a parking lot having this conversation.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: We saw the sweet Marie Honey deal with linebacker accusations.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: This season brought a stormy versus destiny at the Gallantize event,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and it also brought Miss Wanda being what Yes Wanda
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: who Love and Marriage Huntsville.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: It just keeps getting better and better. Coming in at
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: number two is a gag of the gag gag gag
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: gag gags.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: The number two best reality show of twenty twenty two
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: is none other than The Real Housewives of Miami Bitch.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: This season, this rebooted season four on Peacock was a
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: stellar season tens across the board. Every episode was great,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: And what I love about this show is those ladies
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: clopped in to work. Alexia is the force multiplier.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: It's her show. It's her show.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: And again it's not to diminish anybody because y'all love
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to say, Oh my god, so Sos the Queen Bee girl.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about somebody who is truly the one that
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: is the glue. And when it comes to the Real
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Housewives of Miami, Alexia is the best of the best
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: of the best.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: She's a joy to watch.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: The scenes between her and her sons and her husband,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: well now, husband was fantastic television. It was real, it
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: was deep, it was emotional. She is the best thing
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to happen to that franchise. There is no Real Housewives
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of Miami without Alexia. It's her show now. Although Larsa
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Pippen is my favorite, I just love you so Larsa, however,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: it's still Alexia show. Alexia is the bomb. It's her show.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: It's her show. Larsa is fantastic. I like that Larsa
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: came in with all of those Kardashian baggage that a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people brought onto her and to me, she
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: was able to rise to the occasion of being smart
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and subtle with her shade and snarky. And I like
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the fact that we saw her try to live outside
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: of their shadows, the Kardashians, but also tried to live
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: outside the shadows of her husband, Scottie Pippen, and what
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: it's like for a woman to be married to this
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: powerhouse in her early twenties, have multiple kids with this
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: guy and still decided to leave the situation because it
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: no longer served her. I enjoyed watching that. I enjoyed
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: watching her get into it with Audriana Honey.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: That epic table read.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Not not a table read like you're an actor, honey,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: where you sit in front of your coworker's honey and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: read the script. I'm talking about a table read, bitch,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: when you are at a table on a reality show
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and you read each other for filth to see. Larsa
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and Audriana go up against each other where she called
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: her fake Kim Kardashian her fake booty, and Larsa said
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you look homeless. I mean when I say the read
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: was so severe that I had to upload it on
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: my Instagram page.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Child, that's how epic that read was. And then they brought.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: On new women who I just love and think it's
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: so delicious. Gerty is one of the most beautiful women
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: on television. She's gorgeous, She's a sweet heart. Doctor nacall
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I love as well, I love her husband. I love
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that they're so rich that they say, bitch
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: will buy home and we may sell it in two
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: weeks bitch and we don't care, and we.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Got private planes. I love it. I love it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: It brought wealth in terms of monetary wealth, but it
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: also brought wealth of conversation and knowledge and just it
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: truly did represent Miami, and to me clearly because it's
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: number two, the Real Housewives of Miami was the best
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Real housewives show of all.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Of twenty twenty two.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: The moment you all been waiting for the number one
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: best reality show of twenty twenty two. Drum roll, please, yeah,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: come outside the fact this is going to break Twitter.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: I already know and guess what. I'm going to stand
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: ten toes behind my decision.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: And no, I'm not biased. I keep it all the
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: way real.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: The best reality show of twenty twenty two goes to
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Bell Collective.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, honey, let's argue.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Let's have an rgu mocked honey, not argument, Let's have
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: an argue. Honey, I'm ready, let's go toe to toe
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: with this one. Bell Collective Season two was by far
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the best reality.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Show of twenty twenty two.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And no, I'm not just saying it because I created
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: it and my company, Kingdom Rank Entertainment produces it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Bell Collective was everything and more.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Bell Collective set off Friday nights on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It is the show that people slept on first season
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and listen. I can understand why because when you watch
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: season one a Bell Collective and then you get into
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: season two of Bell Collective, it does feel like two
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: different shows.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Not saying that season one wasn't.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Great, it was, but it felt like a refresh, a reintroduction,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: if you will. And there is not one person, not
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: one who watched Bell Collective this past season that did
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: not love the show. We brought on two new cast members,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Akesha Holly Cologne and Sophia Sogucci Williams to join the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: stellar cast of Marie apsin, Letitia Pearson, LaTrece Rogers and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Tambra Sharie. The reason why Bell Collective not only broke
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: the Internet, broke ratings records, it also made people realize,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Carlos King, you're onto something, you are tapping it to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: these unknown territories like Jackson, Mississippi, and finding these gems.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: We're talking about a show where on a two part reunion,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I as the host of the reunion, gave y'all a
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: good old nasty Mari Povich moment where we had a
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: DNA test. We're talking about a paternity issue this season.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: We're talking about Marie who let us in on what
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: she was facing dealing with her mom who admitted to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: being addicted to drugs.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about real life story.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: We had scandal, we had Tambourth Scherie being told that
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: her man that she has known since high school was
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: having an emotional affair with a decorator.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a soap opera.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: It gave y'all good old Biblica, Fox and Generations. It
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: gave y'all good old Victor Newman on Young and the Restless.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was a soap opera. Of these soap operas,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Latrees dealing with Smokey Robinson.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sorry her husband, Cliff, who wanted.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Shade, who wanted to have a baby, and she stood
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: up for herself and said, I'm not ready right now,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: because a bitch is selfish and she wants to make
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: her millions and she wants to live her life. Yes,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: you may be older, but I'm still young. I'm in
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: my thirties and I'm in my prime. And Latrees was
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: on her young Miami. Latrees was giving y'all young Miami
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: dating Diddy. That's how that relationship was this season, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: she dealt with it in a true way. We're talking
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: about how the New Ladies. Aikeisha told the girls, I'm
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the queen of Jackson and Farish Street being a place
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: where African Americans back in the day had ownership of properties.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: We gave y'all a good educational moment. We give y'all
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a good old PSA, honey, a good PBS. The Collected
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: was everything and more, and it is no surprise that
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the network, thank you Lord Jesus, believed in the show
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: to say we're gonna bring it back.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: They brought it back.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: It broke ratings records, and they em meet immediately ordered
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: another season.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: And this is the gag.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: So look, we're filming season three right now. Baby, y'all
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: ain't seen nothing yet. That's all I'm gonna say. But
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: let's get back to Bell Collective. Season two. It was
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: truly refreshing to watch a show filled with women who
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: were real and I'm even gonna be honest when I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: say this, not that I lie, but I'm just gonna
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: keep it all the way real again. The reason why
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: people love Bell Collective is because it's refreshing to see
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a reality show where people aren't trying to get a moment,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: they're living in the moment. And one thing that I
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: try to execute along with my team of producers is
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: follow the reality. Follow it because I promise you it's
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: much better than what you're trying to orchestrate on paper.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: And Bell Collective is a show.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Where you have these regular women in Jackson, Mississippi, along
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: with their husbands and partners, truly give their best to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: show the world who they really are. And I get
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: emotional every time I think about the show. It's now
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a show where I get stopped in the streets and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: people are like, bitch, you did that with Bell Collective
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, we did that. I will never
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: take full credit for the success of my shows. It
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: takes a village. It takes a village to really make
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a great show. And the success of Bell Collective is
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: not only my success, it's the success of my team
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: of producers. The wonderful executives at the network who believed
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: in it and push us to make great televice, but
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: also to the cast who showed up every day to
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: give their authentic lives. And as we go into watching
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: more reality shows in twenty twenty three, I'm hopeful that
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: people can look at Bell Collective as the blueprint and
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the DNA of how you do a show, and you
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: do it right, all right, y'all, And there you have it,
• 29:28
