![]() Brock’s is best friends with his high school sweetheart and ex, Amber. Milan and Miles are in a relationship and are both aspiring rappers/musicians. What I always find interesting is that there is (and I assume will always be) a large portion of the reality tv viewing public that will believe these shows are just as real as the found footage films The Blair Witch Project or the first Paranormal Activity.Īfter 30 minutes of viewing the first episode of LHHH which had an over abundance of bad attitudes, over acting, hyper sassiness, goose necking, stereotypes and enough weave to make Rapunzel give a side eye I decided just to fast forward to the gay story-line within each available episode and save myself some headaches. I would like to point out my viewing came after hearing about the “positivity” concerning the gay/staight love triangle on Love and Hip Hop Hollywood that proceeded the Out In Hip Hop VH1 special and the overall message of “living in your truth” (thanks Iyanla). Now I’ve done the same for the story arc on Love and Hip Hop Hollywood featuring Milan Christopher and Miles Brock. Even though I didn’t complete the season (you know, the whole aversion to reality tv thing), I viewed enough to give an honest review. Previously this lead me to do a review of the much talked about Prancing Elites reality show from earlier this year. There are times (like now) when black gay internet will cause me to check out a show, just to see what the hype is in addition to, readers wanting the “Cypher Avenue” opinion. Our reviews, discussions and commentary on LGBT films, short stories, web series, music and television characters of color, have garnered both positive and negative reactions. This wasn’t surprising in that historically, masculinity is something that is often excluded on television shows where same gender loving black men are featured.Īs co-founder of this site (which is more focused on the masculine leaning homosexual men of color) the founders have to keep our “ears to the street” sort of speak to the current happenings within the culture and community. More of the same which were effeminate men shown as being accessories to the female leads on the show. ![]() are all cut from the same cloth…scripted drama with a dash of reality.Įven though I didn’t watch the full episodes, I have viewed clips of RHOA where there were gay characters being featured. ![]() A show where many of the women aren’t wives others like Basketball Wives, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta or Hollywood, Bad Girls Club, etc. I have seen maybe 2 episodes of the first season of Real House Wives Of Atlanta. On the other hand, I feel like I’m allergic to the more popular, ratings grabbing, gossip blog, manufactured drama, messy, world-star-hip-hop-esque reality television shows. I know some may have never heard of these shows nor would consider them reality tv in the popular context but to me they fall in that category. The reality tv I watch are shows like the award winning No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, Paranormal Witness or River Monsters. I don’t think I’m your typical reality television fan.
