My sister has me watching Love and Marriage Huntsville and she is living to regret this.

First of all, I hit pause so we could look at the poverty rate in Huntsville. Because this ostentatious Black wealth with a heavily working class inflection got me confused.

Then someone named Melody hired interns and demonstrated an alarming disregard for responsible supervision. So I hit pause to explain that unpaid labor should have an educational experience to compensate for the exploitation

Now I am circling a conversation about colorism. She finally just said, “fine, turn it.” 😂😂

The premise of these shows is that strangers get to ask you about all of your business? It’s a strange genre.

Me, one hour later: “Martell screwed up the bag by cheating his way out of the show’s primary marriage and he lies straight face to his own family just to stay in the storylines. Watch his face when I rewind! Also he is a narcissist.”

Oh how the mighty has fallen.
