Why I'll Miss Tiny & Toya
No, I'm not joking.
The show's finale will air tonight on BET. And it will usher in the hot mess that is to be Frankie & Neffe, a reality show featuring Keyshia Cole's mother and sister. Now, I know you're probably thinking, "you watched Tiny & Toya, girl, stop!" And you might just be right. Before it premiered, I was pretty much anti-BET, aside from their reruns of The Game. But for some reason, I tuned in to Tiny & Toya. It was kind of like passing a car crash—I just had to see what was going on. And I couldn't agree more with Michael Arceneaux, who says that these women are not as one-dimensional as you may think.
Watching these shows, getting an all-access pass into celebr—er, celebrity by association—life, is the same reason why I get on The YBF, Bossip, and yes, Mediatakeout, almost every day. It's my biggest guilty pleasure. Plus, I'm just plain nosy.
But what am I getting from Frankie and Neffe? What do I really want to know about their lives? Hmm, maybe I'll give it a driveby watch tonight. Stay tuned.
