For me, I am annoyed that Shaunie thought the other girls were just supposed to accept how condescending she is and I think Vh1 made a point not to fire Brandi because of it hence all the airtime she gets now. Shaunie needs to stake her claim in the world away from Shaq so I get why she has to give the impression that she's slaying but if she wants to claim that she is in control I need her to explain why she would give her ex husbands supposed lover her own spinoff (bbwla started off as Gloria and Laura as leads) and why its first lineup flopped. Some of the girls in that first season didn't even last two episodes. Is Shaunie ready to take responsibility for that as an "ep." No. That's why Brandi doesn't see the need to treat her as such because she knows that it's vh1 who call the shots and pay her with the money they make from advertising. If you ask me, Shaunie's desperation to give off this EP title actually ruined the show because now we have an entire storyline about how the show itself is produced. Brandi did the right thing by exposing this lie that has gone on for too long.
