In Charge

Somebody in the Harris house is pretty smart. In spite of doing some pretty dumb things from time to time. They named their reality show right, when  they named it"Family Hustle".You see everyone in the family every week. And at least one of the grandmothers if not both. From Deyjah to Domani they all earn their keep. Even little Major has lines every week and he can hardly talk. He still has a legion of fans though. The viewers think he's adorable. It's hard to hate on a baby. The other day I heard someone say "they live for him". Though him and his brother King didn't have the knack for acting. Tiny was taking them to auditions anyway. Trying to get them work.

If they can't talk they can walk. So everybody has a job. He gave a free concert in Memphis last week and the whole family was there. Each of  them making sure that they were seen. Messiah and Deyjah don't say much, but they get their camera time. They know the routine. The show wasn't free, they just didn't sell tickets. He used the fans for the television show. Just like he did in Atlanta and Chicago. For his children who lack flair. There is still a slot. All his children are models for his clothing line. The children are with him so much it seems like he has custody. Any child support the mothers get. The children have proba.bly already earned.

Which brings me to their latest endeavor. Now Tiny of all people is hosting a talk show with other women from Atlanta. Suddenly Tiny is carrying a lot of weight with the women in the industry. Since she gave Kandi her start on RHOA. When she passed the role on to Kandi after Tip made her turn it down. Just like she did with Toya in "Tiny and Toya". Once again she has surrounded herself with people she can feed off their situations. I don't know much about what Trina has been doing lately, and even less about Claudia Jordin. But I am surprised at Tamar Braxton getting involved with the Atlanta scene. She has avoided it for years. She was on the road with her sister. I smell ratings for all three shows she's involved with. Tamar and Vince, Braxton Family Values and Tiny Tonight.

The cast was supposed to include Nikki 008 but she didn't make the final cut. I don't see why not. She is both pretty and entertaining. But what should be an advantage could be working against her though. She could steal the show. Like she often does on Kandi Koated Nights. But that's not going to happen here though. That's probably why she's gone.  The main thing I like about them as a couple. Tameka is ride or die chick. She treats T.I like a king. And he treats her like a queen. She is a boss until she makes it home.  Then the two of  them are down together. Whatever happens on this show. The Harris family will be in charge.
