[QUOTE=ILoveRW;343589]They need to name one of the episodes, Schizophre-Nia.[/QUOTE]
That would've been a good one if not for the fact that it sounded like it was making fun of those with that particular mental illness. Otherwise I wouldn't be surprised if you were right.
[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;343606]They have been on a roll with these titles since Battle of The Seasons (2012). Some are so corny but some are so clever, you have to laugh either way.[/QUOTE]
Even before that. The series has always had good episode titles. I mean pre-vevmo, tv.com and tvtome.com not all of them were this updated or even known but other than that yeah.

Tv.com doesn't have the real episode titles for older seasons, but I do remember one episode of The Gauntlet II being called "The Good, The Brad, and The Ugly"
There are times that I wish stuff wasn't bleeped...you can't hear anything.
And I love Jessica trying to parallel her fight with Jordan...there was nothing similar.
Johnny's right. They were both wrong. Nia shouldn't have provoked it, especially while she knows the guy is drunk. Jordan should not have been making monkey noises or getting too physical
What I want to know is if he really used the N word. Marlon and Nia say he did. Avery has said on an interview that he never said the n word.

To be honest, I don't think he did but can monkey noises and beating on his ******* chest equate to racism? Yes.
Bird is the truth.
Jordan's blatant racism? Maybe he is racist, but you can't judge it off that one interaction. He was super drunk and this psycho ***** had been badgering him for who knows how long, and had just dropped the n-word on HIM. He was mocking her for acting like ghetto trash, which she was.

Did you guys not just watch the replay of the interaction? It shows where he said it and in what context.

Agree, but the whole monkey thing was TOOOOO MUCH. But I understand he was drunk.
[QUOTE=Seminole;343648]I thought the n word that ends with a was fine for everyone to use....that's the one Nia said
The OTHER N word is the big no no[/QUOTE]
N***a? It's not cool with everyone, not even some blacks. Both shouldn't be thrown around.

And can you read or were you too busy constantly typing instead of watching the show? I just said I don't think he did, like be serious.
well Jordan making monkey noises is just not the same thing as Nia calling him the N'word in the slang way. People need to understand that word has a lot of history to it for black people. Some take it and turn it into a casual slang thing without negativity. That's what Nia was doing. Nia wasn't being racial. She was just saying it in a slang way. Jordan doing the monkey noises was racial. And the people who complain about black people getting to use it, but not white people, don't get it. It's about the history and the context.
I think Avery said it best on her twitter that Nia making fun of his hand was just as bad as Jordan doing monkey noises.
