The Braxtons Season 3, Episode 11

Tamar is wearing a pair of sneakers.  Her sister Toni says she has to retire the heals and the end result is in the picture.

Tamar ditches heels for kicks

You know I was wondering how do people know what is the name of the shoe that Tamar is wearing?  Like did the paparazzi go in and ask the shoe store lady when Tamar left.  Somebody let me know please?  By the way if you are curious about what shoe it REALLY is, because I'm still not sure myself , check out the  Bel Bambini store she purchased them from...

So in this episode we find out Towanda hires a personal assistant for her sister Tamar to help while she is pregnant.  Let me just say HUNNIE the personal assistant James is hilarious.  Baby from his leather Burgundy purse to his head roll, he was pure comedy. 

DID YOU KNOW, The Braxton's sister Towanda has a business called the secret squirrel. It provides training to someone seeking to be a personal assistant.

As Traci and Trina prepare to gear up for this pre-game performance.  Traci is singing the black National Anthem and she sounds a HOTT mess.  Like can somebody please give her some Tea  to clear the cracks in her voice...and where is Toni Braxton when you need her?  . 

Traci so worried about not messing up the words, but she REALLY needs to be worried about not missing a note.  I know y'all...I'm giving it to her, but it's the truth. And you know what they say when the truth is said...It shall set you free.  Even you Traci, kmsl!

Don't Traci look nice!  Real slim and pretty in pink
The sister are working on Season 4.  I was surprised
to hear that!

Now she got a standing ovation from the audience, which is probably mostly her GLAM squad , but she is not getting that satisfaction from me.  However, I will say I am very proud of Traci for moving forward with her singing career, because her sisters in the past have not been supportive. 

Moving on to Trina's performance.  Her sisters Toni and Tamar said she sounded really good and I conquer that!  But honey she looked like the TIN WO-man from The Wizard of Oz.  She was so stiff and for her to want to do club theme songs, she is going to have to loosen up.  Queen Moore says more practice Trina, you need more practice.

The Braxton's Season 3, Episode 10

Trina's Single Party or Go Home has really grown on me during The Braxton's Season 3, Episode 10. 

Trina Braxton

Back in the ATL Trina continues to work on her dance moves for her new single Game Time.  She says she has been so busy with her son's bullying issues and convincing Gabe to move to LA, that she has not had enough time to practice.  Toni Braxton though, has invited her to perform this single at an upcoming concert she has coming up, so Trina is in a frenzy to get this going with only two days of rehearsal.  Her dancers have already backed out and looks like she has to depend on her sisters Towanda and Traci for help. 

As Toni prepares for her concert she asked her sisters Trina and Towanda to do her back up, but she is also very supportive of her sister doing her single Party or Go Home too.  When Toni finds out her sisters are trying to learn this choreographer in a day, she gets pretty upset.  Trina says she is not worrying about embarrassing Toni Braxton, but rather herself.  She says she is still riding the coat tail of Toni.  Then we find out no one knows the lyrics.  Like really Trina!  Are you trying to put this thing together at the last minute?

Party or Go Home

Trina says she is willing to put in all the work, even if it takes all night!  You're very beautiful Trina, but we all need our beauty rest hunnie...I'm so glad I'm not in Traci and Towanda's shoes.  And I'm also happy to see the sisters including Traci in their music career.

 

Evelyn Braxton says she is really happy to be there for Tamar and the baby.  She was there for her other girls and her son and she will be there for Tamar.  However, she didn't say the stay at Tamar's was going to be easy going.  Tamar says her mother needs to watch what she eats, but Tamar still wants her mom to cook what she wants for her.  Chicken and macaroni, fried or smoother are at the top of her list.

BET Celebration of Gospel 2013

Traci says all her sister Tamar does is shop and eat while she is pregnant.  I must say Tamar is carrying her pregnancy well and when Evelyn says she needs to attend a parenting class I was like WHAT?  Tamar says she doesn't need any parenting classes, because she watched her mother and sister raise many. 

Traci tries to give Tamar a little scare by telling her she has to push out the placenta once she pushes out the baby.  Tamar says she thought it was just suppose to fall out by itself.  Girl, I once thought that too, but you live and you learn. 

Dr. Jackie from Married to Medicine
will be delivering Tamar's baby?

The Braxton's Season 3, Episode 9

Oh my goodness, I can't believe Dr. Jackie from Married to Medicine is Tamar Braxton's OBGYN on

Dr. Jackie and Tamar,
Who would have knew Dr. Jackie from Married to Medicine is Tamar's doctor.

The Braxton's Season 3, Episode 9.  She delivered Traci and Trina's babies as well.  Tamar choose her, because her sisters walked away with no stretch marks and she wants the same. 

She says even though she is pregnant she still has 4 babies in the freezer from the in vitro, that she plans to keep.  She also question Dr. Jackie about the deliver of the baby.  Meaning how will she deliver?  Meaning will it be natural or an incision?  Vince says he is happy about the new celebration, but he is also a very nervous daddy.  Which is normal, considering this is the couple's first baby. 

This is Tamar and Vince 1st pregnancy

During the ultrasound Tamar says she was very excited to see the baby's head during her doctor's visit.  She says it looks like Vince's head and being pregnant is beautiful, hard, but most important it's cute. 

Trina's son has being having problems with bullying in school.  One wise comment Trina said about her son is you can teach a man how to be a gentleman, but you can't teach him how to be a man.  I have always had my own concept about that statement, but Trina put in it layman's terms for me.

Trina Braxton and Gabe, her husband

Later on in the show we learn Evelyn's dog Jackson died and all the sisters including the husbands and grandchildren had to attend the funeral.

I mean guys it was a real come together, sit down, everybody dressed in black funeral. 

I know people treat their dogs like real people, so I will try to be sensitive to this issue and move right along.  However, before I do my favorite part was when Tamar breaks out in a song about the dog.  Now, y'all know them sisters can make up a song about anything. 

Poor Vince, he just hung his head low, but mother Evelyn was overly happy, which was what it was about.  If you are interested in seeing Tamar and her sisters in action singing the dog song, fast forward to 11:17 time. 

 

Evelyn announces she is moving to LA and Trina is thinking about the move herself for her career, but Traci says nooo way am I moving.  She thinks her baby sister Tamar needs their mother more right now, since she is pregnant. 

On another note Tamar says ain't nobody got time for that...she's referring to finding her mommy a man.  Evelyn says she is ready to date again.  She is extremely picky about her man...hint, hint Tamar's says her mother likes her man just like my daddy....she tried it!

The girls are also preparing for their mother's birthday party and Towanda's daughter Brooke will do a ballet performance.  How cute is that! However, she doesn't deliver at first.  Her mom Towanda has to give her a little push. 

Traci Braxton on her new motorcycle?
Oh yeah! She tried it

Before, the sisters leave for LA Traci shows off all the hard work she has been working on for the past couple of episodes which is riding in on the motorcycle.  Mother Evelyn says she can't do anything, but worry, because that is dangerous. 

Somebody let the secret out the bag about Tamar's
baby gender.  Find out who?

The Braxton's Season 3, Episode 8

On The Braxton's Season 3, Episode 8 Tamar tells her mom there is a baby baking in the oven. 

The Braxtons on GMA

Tamar is pregnant and it just happen out the blue, according to her.  Is this a hint that she is having a baby boy?

Well, best friend Tiny already spilled the beans she is having a boy!

Tamar and best friend Tiny

Her mother Evelyn is very happy and says this will make grand-child number 12.  Tamar says she doesn't want anyone to know, because her sisters are telling tubbies and they tell to the wrong person.  Tamar wants a girl just like herself and says she wants her mommy to move to LA with her to take care of her. 

I thought it was so cute how Tamar deliver the news to her sisters by inviting them to dinner and pouring them a glass of wine.  She asks them to take a drink to do a toast, but they notice Tamar was drinking water, which is un-usually of her.  She said the pregnancy didn't happen through the in vitro she was on during the past season, but it happen naturally.  Yay Tamar!  We at Queen Moore are very happy for you. 

Trina is back in the studio again to put the finish touches on her single Game Time.  Her first single Party or Go Home did really well!  She states her music career in Atlanta has really taken off, but she needs to move to LA for it to soar.  Gabe doesn't think it's a great ideal to move to LA, because of the cost of living there, their children are still in school, and the money he just put down on Trina's new single has stretch his pockets a little.  Brother man says he has money, but he isn't made of it. 

Meanwhile Trina goes house shopping in LA with her husband Gabe.  The realtor is the same lady that sold Nene Leakes her home in LA.  How neat is that!  The house she wants is $5 million dollars and says she will have to wear knee pads for a month, no a year to repay her husband...did you catch that, kmsl!  Gabe is not for it though.  He's in price shock and all he sees is dollar signs!

before and after weight loss photos are the bomb dot com.  She says she has been working so hard on her body.  You can see some definition in Traci's weight in the weight loss photos.  Her secret is cutting carbs and eating vegetables.  I love the fact that when the sisters had their cook off at Tamar's house in LA, she prepared to eat.  Meaning she worked out with Sgt Tchicaya at the gym extra hard, before eating her mama's pig feet and chitterlings.

Old School, but still a jam from Toni Braxton herself. In the back you will see Trina and Tamar Braxton as the background singers. I also notice Toni Braxton has on a wedding ring and Tamar doesn't. So, apparently this video was filmed way before The Braxton Family Values. 

Candice Glover Interview With Jay Leno

Candice Glover interviewed with Jay Leno.  She's hitting the floor running and I love it.  I have the full video below, but I have jotted down a few things that stood out to me in this 9 minute video. 

She just graces the stage so effortlessly.  One thing tho, I hate her little bye-bye wave she gives the crowd.  Candice tells Jay she is happy that the competition is over and she is glad she won as well.  Not having the stress of being cut every Wednesday is a reliever.  We all know Candice tried out twice before.  The first time she made it to the TOP 70 and the second time TOP 60. 

In season 9 Simon was not a fan of Candice.  He stated she would be a lounge singer in a hotel lobby and people would be eating peanuts and turn their heads at her unsuccessfulness.  But she says it pushed her to come back and win 3 seasons later.  Simon is such a grouch sometimes!

Candice said she was not sad Simon was not there and she is glad Mariah and Nicki were there.  She says she stayed more focus on her performance instead of Nicki and Mariah's drama.

In The Braxtons Season 3, Episode 7 Trina and 

Towanda and Trina Braxton at Tamar's baby shower

Towanda visited a space for the sisters store they plan to open.  Towanda learned Gabe, Trina's husband wants to be apart of the store.  Trina says Gabe has done a lot of the leg work, but she hasn't mention this to any of her sisters.  Towanda says this is the calm before the storm. 

In other news Tamar eats pig feet and chitterlings.  But Toni is too bougie to eat any of that honey.  She eats rich people food as Tamar tells all.  You know I have always wondered...how do rich people go grocery shopping?  Because on the show Tamar and her mother went to the store, but Toni Braxton had to stay behind.  So, is there a special market they shop at or is that Tamar isn't as famous as I thought she was (I'm not trying to throw shade, I'm just saying).  I hear Wendy Williams all the time stating she goes to the grocery store and she hates being stop and asked to pose for a picture. 

And did you know the sisters mother Evelyn Braxton is still looking for a man, but the good news is at least she is dating.  In season 2, Miss Evelyn Braxton was getting married, but after careful consideration she stop it before it happened.  For her to be dating on her own is a big deal, her girls had way too much trouble last season for her to even take a mile in those shoes. 

All the sister fly to Tamar's home in Los Anglos to talk about opening the store.  We find out some interesting things.  For one Gabe wants to be a part of the store, Trina originally said they would have to pull out a loan from the bank to help open the store, but Tamar says they have enough money to fund the store among the five sisters.  Also, the ideal for the store was talked among the sisters only and not Gabe, but Trina feels, because she initiated some of the negotiations, she feels this is her project now.  Tamar says it was actually her who tried to start up the business, because she had a friend name Peaches, who operated a business similar to the one the sisters want to start.  Tamar says she gave Trina the phone number to contact Peaches, but the phone call never happen.  I can see how Tamar is frustrated with this.  This is a sister thing and husbands should be separated.

What matters is none of the sisters want to partner with Gabe in any adventure together.  Toni says the only role she wants Gabe to play in her life is being her brother in law.

The Braxton's Season 3 Episode 6

Again, on The Braxton's Season 3 Episode 6

The Braxton sisters celebrate the New Season of Braxton Family Values

the sisters go out to dinner to have some sister time.  They discuss their dad's birthday party coming up.  Tamar says she will hire waiters to bring her food, because she doesn't want everyone's germs.  Towanda says she is not close to her father's side of the family.  Her ratchet Aunt Bev and her ratchet daughter are on the top of the list.  One of the cousins said on Facebook they don't "F" with The Braxton Family Values, and then more cousins started talking smack about their mom, said Toni is a has been, the sisters are all hoes, and Tamar will be no more than a background singer, they hope Vince divorces Tamar, Traci is an alcoholic, and Traci needs to get a job, but she states she has had a job for 15 years.  Does Traci Braxton have a job for real?

Traci then states she went to a gun class.  She states she needs a gun, because people are following her. Boo-Boo it's called fame.  Honey you have made!  She says people are jumping out their cars saying Oh My Gosh, Traci!!! The sisters suggest she gets a bodyguard instead.  Traci you know you got a hot temper, girl get your lifeeeeee!  On another note, she states she wasn't seeking approval from her sisters, but wanted them to beware of what she thinking about doing. 

So, the girls fly out to Baltimore, Maryland for the Braxton's dad 65th birthday party.  Towanda says their was a lot of smiling facing that were nice to see.  Tamar says the party is ghetto fabulous, but it really isn't fabulous, because they are still in the ghetto, cause it has a buffet, bring your own drinks, and they have church tables in the banquet hall.  As they anticipate the arrive of Michael Braxton senior, he arrives in a cape, a pimp hat, pimp glasses, grill in his mouth, and his gold shoes.  He came passing out big money, because he says he is big daddy and big daddy always give big money. 

Aunt Beverly stands up to give her speech to welcome everyone and Towanda says she has always been ratchet.  Here's why Aunt Bev called Michael Braxton's ex wife, his baby mama.  Towanda says they were married for 35 years, there is no such thing as being a baby mama for 35 years, duh.  Tamar says one of the definition of being ratchet is when you in you 60s and you still being shady, why did you call my daddy's ex wife, his baby mama. 

The sisters get up to tell their dad they love him very much and Toni Braxton did not get the clearance from her doctor's to fly to Maryland, but they give their dad the first class cruise for his birthday as a present. 

Aunt Beverly calls Trina over to talk to her.  The sisters are ferocious about their little talk, but Trina is discussing with her about the comment she made about the sister's mother.  Aunt Beverly says the Family Value part in The Braxton's Family Values title is wrong.  I guess meaning the sisters have no value.  Deuces, Tamar says to Aunt Beverly. 

Then Braxton senior turns the music up by playing Trina's single Party or Go Home and dances with his girls.  It was really cute!

The next day the girls continue to celebrate their dad's birthday and the biggest question the sisters have is "Why do they think Aunt Beverly got up and referred to their mom as a Baby Mama?"  Braxton Senior replied with "Y'all know my sister is WHACK!" 

We also found out Evelyn Braxton is in the hospital due to diabetic complications. 

Meanwhile, Toni gets a visit from BabyFace.  Towanda set it up for BabyFace to make a visit to Toni's house, but Toni was unaware of it.  Toni Braxton met with BabyFace in 1990 and 6 months later she was doing the Boomerang soundtrack.  Toni tells BabyFace she doesn't want to sing about music anymore and he ask is she happy right now.  She says she is happy sometimes, but  with the divorce she has ups and downs.  She says when BabyFace and LA Reid signed her, they just signed her and not her sisters.  She remembers feeling torn about that, but when she made her solo career she always knew she was going to bring her sisters in it.  BabyFace says when he first met her she had so much pain in her voice and that made her hot.  People still want to hear her today and she shouldn't do a record just for success.  Michael Jackson did records for success, because he wanted to sell more and more.  He states, he thinks she just needs to take a breath and come by the studio, but he is not going to give up on her.
