The more i watch 'The Bachelorette', the angrier i become.
Not at Rachel ( and i will tell you why i think a lot of people are mad at Rachel later), but at Peter.
Peter, o my....
From like the 2nd episode in, you were my guy. I was #TeamPeter.
Not only are you hot (Mr A please don't read this), but you are just like a great guy it seems. I mean, we can only know so much from a tv show but that's how you came across.
So i was #TeamPeter and i kept wanting you to get another solo date.
It was obvious to a lot of people that Rachel liked Bryan. Obvious. Not only did he get the first impression rose, but he also got so many solo dates, and one of the best ones (like when he got the watch).
I thought it was Bryan's show to lose, but that i wanted it to be you so badly.
Until you started saying you were not ready to propose.
For me, i was like, do you know what show this is?
It is called, 'The Bachelorette'.
A woman comes on the show and meets a lot of men and then picks one that she wants. He proposes (hopefully), and they ride off into the sunset.
You do know that right?
So why would you come on, keep saying you were not sure, but then stay on, and then act like you were the hurt one?
I know you were probably hurt. But Peter, Rachel was on the show to find a husband.
She said it from Day 1. She was clear and not in anyway ambigious. I mean, she had been on 'The Bachelor' so this was someone who knew what she wanted.
And this is why i think some people are mad at Rachel.
People are angry that a 32 year old woman, knows what she wants and goes for what she wants. Women are supposed to be irrational or emotional right? Not clinical? You guys want a romantic novel where the girl picks 'love'.
So why do we think it is not love because it did not hurt? Have we been conditioned to accept that the only time love is worth it is when it first makes us cry? Why can't it be as simple as someone who knows what she wants, chooses someone who knows what he wants, has been clear about it from Day 1, and did not make her cry?
Rachel Lindsay, you did good. Don't let them tell you otherwise!

Review: An 'Empire' of 'Lethal Weapon' television
If you stayed up to watch the Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, please do tell me who you thought won.
But I'm focusing on fiction even though non fiction is sometimes the best.
Last weekend I was able to catch the first episodes of Empire (returning for Season 3) and Lethal Weapon (season premiere).
So what did I think?
'Empire'
Jamal is so sexy... (Great way to start. Lol).
We find out who died from last season's cliffhanger, got a lot of drama (Jamal suffering from PTSD, new baby and Hakeem needs to find his ginger) and of course it ended with an exciting climax.
I'm trying not to give spoilers which is why I am being cryptic but overall, i thought the music was grown and sexy, the acting was really good and the season will progress really well.
(Hakeem stays a brat though. Bleh.)
'Lethal Weapon'
If you have seen the original movie, you may be one of those who hates reboots. But if you haven't seen it, then good news for you, you have nothing to compare it to.
'Lethal Weapon' tells the story of a crazy younger cop (Clayne Crawford) paired with an older more careful one (Damon Wayans). Crazy cop just lost his wife so really wants to die but can't kill himself so of course he chooses to be reckless on the job instead. Older cop on the other hand has a wife, two teenagers and a new baby so he's not trying to die anytime soon.
The mismatched pairing is a cliche (one created in part by the original movie by the same name) so 'Lethal Weapon' can't depend on that natural humour and has to stand out in a sea of really good cop shows like 'Blue Bloods' and 'Chicago PD'.
Will it last? I don't know. BUT! Whatever happens, bringing Clayne Crawford to a bigger audience is its biggest blessing. He was the star of the episode and I loooooove him.
Should you watch it?
Of course!
Lol.
Of course!
Lol.
#TBDaily x #TV My fav 'o come on' Wardrobe scenes
I was watching "Quantico" the other day when for the umpteenth time since Priyanka Chopra had been on the run, i asked the tv, "Why hasn't she cut her hair???"
I mean, watch any prison break or fugitive movie and first thing they do is discard their old clothes, dye or cut their hair, and sometimes maybe buy chewing gum. I have never understood that last one sha.
But this is Episode 3 deep into Quantico and home girl still has her hair full, un dyed and looking like a million bucks.
That got me thinking about how
That got me thinking about how
- In "Jurassic World", Bryce Dallas Howard went through the entire movie IN HEELS. She shot, fought off dinosaurs and even walked IN mud in her heels.
I can't even get through a short stroll in Lagos without needing my flats.
Na wa o
- In Quantico and indeed every cop series, the detectives chase criminals, arrest and handcuff, sometimes get punched and yet, their hair is neatly done.
My hair is natural and even the headphones at work roughen it and i have to believe wind, punches and dirt didn't get into your hair?

- In Aladdin (yes i had to go there), Jasmine and Aladdin go on this magic carpet ride (which i have now been told was a metaphor for something else but let me not ruin YOUR childhood) but Jasmine comes back and you guessed it; from hair to headwrap to make up, clothes and shoes, it was not a whole new world.
I've spent quieter days at home with rumpled clothes and stains but Jasmine can go on a magic carpet ride and not come back dishevelled????
Lol.
What do you guys think?
#TBDaily x #TV 3 Things I love about Quantico... 2 things they need to watch out for!
Get your wine and your favourite snack because it is tv season again!
And as #TVGirl, i am here to let you know what's good, what's hot and more.
So some shows like "Empire" are back for a second season and that's exciting already, but then there are some new shows like "Quantico" (drama from executive producers Josh Safran and Mark Gordon which explores the lives of young FBI recruits; each with a secret).begging for love. Guess what Quantico? with that first episode, there is no reason to beg. I am ready for you, and here is why!
+ Aunjaune Ellis
I first stumbled on this lady on 'The Mentalist' where she played Patrick Jane's boss.
She is beautiful, she is sassy and she is talented. I saw her again on 'Book of Negroes' and see that she was also in 'The Maid' so it's been a long time coming but yes! Seeing her rocking that hair and speaking like a boss made me sit up!
Go
+ Grey's Anatomy and Rookie Blue are back!
What i mean is, this will be just like the first seasons of Grey's and Rookie Blue which also began their seasons with recruits. Now we have some newbies in the FBI but one of them is a terrorist? o ho... this can't be good. BUT, expect the drama, the raunchy make out scenes and a lot of beautiful people.
Lol.
+ The action
O please give us action!
We want car chases, mysteries and more and since the first episode had an explosion and a getaway, i think we are on to something.
So that is what i love but what do i want them to watch out for?
+ Grey's and Rookie issues
You know how the interns then became the bosses? If not handled well, it may blow up in their faces because there is something about cute recruits and us not wanting them to grow up.
+ Getting Lost like Lost
Remember Lost season 1?
It was sooooo good!
We watched as they unravelled things, wondered about 'the others' and loved the flashbacks.
But then it seemed Lost got lost and then we switched off. So here is the thing, there are so many secrets in this series and some flashbacks that if they are not careful, they will lose us.
