"OK, Brericka, we get it already..." - Reality TV World Message Board Forums

Reality TV World Message Board Forums PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

...we flipping get it. You're married, and your skin pigments don't match. We've decided to accept this statement as fact since before Episode 1, when you donned your Captain Obvious hats and pointed it out to us. Now we're looking into a drinking game for any time one of you points out this fact in some way, preferably in metaphor. So far we have Team Zebra and Team Jungle Fever. Lemme guess, they'll be on their motorcycle down the streets of Dubai next week eating chocolate swirl ice cream and singing "Ebony and Ivory" wearing T-shirts from that crap-fest of a 2005 movie "Guess Who." My present to them for the episode after that - a dead horse. A black-and-white one. That they can beat. I'll also pass on the "go bananas" metaphors, except to say that their bright yellow shirts indicate that they have already gone bananas. Also, is it just me or does Ericka look suspiciously like Danielle from BB3?

They may have to repeat it a few more times: parts of Louisiana are still trying to work out the concept.

In your part of the country (for select parties), they're a normal couple. Elsewhere...
There's at least twenty million reasons I don't travel south. He's one of them.

Actually as a black woman, I think it's cute that they aren't doing the whole "let's pretend that race doesn't matter" bit. They seem to have a healthy view of their relationship and I have no problem with it.
Yeah, the judge in Louisiana needs to jump in his time machine and go back to the 19th century.

As an old manager of mine once said (this was when i worked at a Hollywood Video and someone dropped a Blockbuster movie in our drop box):
"Proof that crack is at large in our society."

Ok..I've pointed this out before...but I'll do it here again.
Do you think that they are sitting around during their interview saying, "Hmm..how many ways can we point out that we're a mixed couple?"
No...they are asked leading questions by the production team, and given cues to get those types of comments. Much like Ron comparing everything to being a prisoner in Iraq.

Sure, blame the producers. Always a good fallback.
OK, I'll grant that, especially since it's taken fifteen damn seasons to get a mixed-race couple on the show. I thought for a while that the only way to get a mixed-race team on the show was to write one (with the same going for a lesbian couple, for that matter...seems we have some over-representation of some minority groups and an absolute shock when others show up.)
I think they're an amusing team, Brian's a tough competitor, and Ericka's a great teammate and the closest thing we male viewers have to eye candy this season, but it did seem a little odd that not an episode went by without a semi-tedious interracial dating reference. (Ericka's "chocolate melts" comment was a little unusual, as if she's never lived through a hot day in her life.)
Also, would it be over-the-line to make this team's unofficial-official nickname "Team White Chocolate?" Honestly, I'm just hungry for white chocolate.
