Shamea Needs a Redo Button—An Unpopular Opinion
Shamea is the perfect Housewife on paper, butttt since she literally isn't allowed to show that aspect of her life, we're left seeing forced contrived drama. Now, I do think they could have gotten a little more creative with her! ATP, I'd rather see her go shopping or actually host a lavish trip! Her very first season, before she even mentioned it was her husband that wanted a son. I was watching with my friend and LITERALLY SAID, I believe she is trying really hard because her husband is African, and many nations in Africa have that dated idea that they MUST have a son as an heir. Even so to the point that I personally know someone that this recently happened to. Her husband is in his 70's and up and left his wife, to go fly back "home" to marry someone else just to "give him a son" and sadly, he succeeded in that endeavor.
Now my unpopular opinion: Now, I don't think Gerald wants to be filmed because he doesn't want to, I feel he doesn't want his face out there in general because he may be doing his own thing on the side OR in the event that he wants to make that "up and move". It's soo oby. It is clever though, in general, and a good rule of thumb for the wealthy HOUSEHUSBANDS. Because the more you're in the limelight...the more likely dirt is to come out about you *cough*cough Teresa Guidice. I'm not saying he's scamming or anything. All I'm saying is you have to have a squeaky-clean record, cross every t and dot ever i to be on front of the camera all willy nilly, and Gerald is not going for it...I wonder why!
Shamea's first season wasn't terrible; I just didn't like the unnecessary back and forth with Drew (since I've always been a fan of Drew and Shamea when she was a "friend of"). She has some redeemable qualities, but this season is falling soo flat for me with her. Like you are sooo much more than what you're giving me, that it's almost a waste of peach. REDO!
