[FLASHBACK: Reality Show Alert! T-Boz' "Totally T-Boz" Coming Soon To TLC... ]
As discussed in earlier posts, the premise of T-Boz’s new show is that she moves to Los Angeles from Atlanta with a few of her closest friends and family members to work on her solo career.
The first thing I thought of, was when was the last time you heard T-Boz sing acapella… or better yet, have you EVER heard T-Boz sing… I mean REALLY sinnnng??
Personally I couldn’t imagine Watkins or her fellow TLC bandmate Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas venturing out alone musically, although Chilli has tried a time or two.

The two were rumored to be planning a TLC reunion tour, but Watkins, who has chronic sickle cell anemia, said she has flareups which makes it tough for her perform.

But…. she feels she’s healthy enough to return to the music business to “reinvent” herself. Hence… her new reality show, “Totally T-Boz,” which has been picked up for four 1-hour episodes.
It’s about 20 years later, me coming back from the brain tumor and doing things I want to do.
You’ll hear about all that in the show, my real-life struggles, being a single mother. I don’t care how much money you have in the world. It’s not about that. It’s all about time. I’m in charge of raising a young woman one day, to be a mother and hopefully a wife. All of that.
As you know, being a parent, that’s probably the hardest job ever.
“Totally T-Boz” is real — especially compared with most shows,” says Watkins, “they’re fake as all get-out, right? I’m real!”
Watch the full FIRST episode of ‘Totally T-Boz’ below and share your thoughts…
Watkins spoke of her new show recently, and revealed that she wants it to be more than just another drama-filled reality show, stating….
Unlike a lot of shows I turned down, the network was interested in following my life and some of the positive things, not just doing the train wreck. They’re interested in doing something that has substance but we can have fun along the way.
T-Boz also says that her “test run” of four shows is perfect because it gives her time to find out if she’s really cut out for the “reality” of reality television.
I have to see if this is something I want to do. We’re on the same side. Let’s see if it works.
At least I got something out there. It wasn’t like I had to shop it around and wait for this. It fell
in my lap.
There’s a lot of people who have been going through what I went through and I want to help whoever I can.
I want to share my story because I think God spared me for a reason. I think that I’m supposed do something with it.
Did Tionne manage to hold y0ur interest for the 1st of her four episodes?

What it came on already ?!
And unless you like Honey Boo Boo in a better house, you didn’t miss a thing, the writers of this ‘reality’ show are just awful.
Just AWFUL! Lawd KNOWS I loves myself some T-Boz but this right here? I seriously think T is trying too hard. Too much camera foolery. Didn’t expect this at all. It’s like she really needs to calm down and just be herself. Or if need be ACT..like she did on "Belly". I’d of much rather seen the laid back T. But I’ll watch it just to support her(but please don’t ask what episode was about thank you).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN!!! THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! She OVER DID IT with all the camera antics and it appeared like she was trying to be a LLLLLLLLLLLLOW budget Tamar Braxton… TBoz touring again = TOTAL FAIL!
THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!!! What a HOT MESS this was! Talk about a DESPERATE attempt at a comeback when you are now an ABSOLUTE NOTHING…sad
@ Tiffany: That was my first thought also. I didn’t know that the show had aired. Let me see if the show is On Demand…..
Watching paint dry would have been more exciting.
Girl, right. I feel the same way.
Yeah it got me to switch to TLC channel only to watch the show that aired right after T-Boz…..”Sisterhood”
Not really

@Gina Sharon Kirk—-YOUR FIRST LINE SAID IT ALL—YOU DID WATCH IT SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CALL PEOPLE THAT DID WATCH IT HATERS? I DID WATCH THE SHOW AND IT WAS HARD TO HANG IN THERE AFTER THE FIRST 5-10 MINUTES. T-BOZ WAS TRYING WAAAAAY TOO HARD TO SHOW SHE WAS REAL, STILL DOWN AND COULD BE RELEVANT IN TODAYS MUSIC MARKET. I HOPE AS THE SHOWS GO ON THAT SHE SETTLES DOWN AND GETS USE TO THE CAMERAS BEING AROUND AKA BEING MORE NATURAL IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. BUT AS @Hopearella Tullwhitenorris SAID IT WAS LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY. SORRY!!! GOOD LUCK T-BOZ!!!……..JENNY JONES!!!
@Gina Sharon Kirk—-YOUR FIRST LINE SAID IT ALL—YOU DID NOT WATCH IT SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CALL PEOPLE THAT DID WATCH IT HATERS?
"T-BOZ WAS TRYING WAAAAAY TOO HARD TO SHOW SHE WAS REAL, STILL DOWN AND COULD BE RELEVANT IN TODAYS MUSIC MARKET."
Totally agree…sigh.
I honestly thought the show was nice and refreshing. No drama is why they are being negative i guess. She has never done anything to the public to make anyone hate her. I liked it a lot. I have in on record to make sure i don’t miss it. She is still pretty and i hope she get everything she as for. We all fall on hard times but i’m glad she know how to get up and brush herself off. Her daughter is getting so big now. You should be able to catch a rerun before a new episode come on.
Shot out to you for nipping bullshit in the bud.
Totally BORING!
she’s talented as an artist but I feel like her and her little crew were trying a little bit too much for the cameras.
AMEN! That’s what I was thinking. Since when has T-BOZ had so much sass. And why was she yelling and neck snapping all the time? T-BOZ has done reality TV before and she never acted like this. But now…??? This is a mess.
I wish her the best. And I’m glad that she found a job since she’s really been struggling financially. But this right here ain’t it.
Agreed, the script was written for her and Tboz why you not ExProducer or sumthing. Scripted Reality shows are not whats in. Boring, but I lub me Sum TLC and will buy it ..solo or not!!!
I was on the show it was not scripted. There were only certain aspects of Tionnes life that were potrayed.
Yawnsville!
No i wont watch it again. Sorry
Forget about T-Boz’s show which was boring by the way. I’m waiting for you to spill the tea on some of those Atlanta Pastor wives on "The Sisterhood"!
OKAYY! Chile my eyebrows were raised and my gaydar was going crazy all throughout the show.
I really liked the show. It was funny and interesting. Chilli looked beautiful on there and so did tboz. I don’t know about them returning to music but I loved the show. Can’t wait for next episode
You so funny.LOL
Not going to watch it.
So I’m in the first five minutes of the show, and wondering why she is being so extra. I’m used to the cool Tionne-Lawdamercy.
Wow…I didn’t watch it because the preview didn’t make it look interesting. I don’t have anything personal against Tionne. I think she has a beautiful spirit. I just wish people would really realize when it’s over. I don’t think anyone is checking for her as a solo artist. What’s so hard about just getting a job as opposed to running backwards chasing the past?
Good luck to her though.
I agree. I think producing new artist is a happy medium to transition to in order to keep her name relevant in the industry. But deperately trying to hold on to the days of yore isn’t a good look. Rule #1 in life, know when your ship has come and sailed.
it be like that sometimes people just wanna see the hood,ratchett and drama filled don;t get me wrong i love the hood and ratchett but sometimes we need uplifiting and positive reality shows.
It was boring to me..all I really got out of it was Chilli’s desperation to be a part of something again
Had to come back and say that it turned out a lot better than I thought. Also, I never knew Chase looked so much like Mack 10!I will def watch ep 2, but Imma need Chilli to calm down and let T-Boz do her finally.
The whole story surrounding TLC is truly sad. All those hits and accolades only to end up having to try for a comeback at this stage of her life. Too bad she, Left Eye(RIP)and Chili did not have good financial counsel back when the money was flowing.
It was a little boring, I hope it picks up in the next episode
Yeeeeeaaaaaa..i recorded it last night…
um yea so i started watching 10 mins ago and deleted it 10 mins ago….i cant! she was trying waayyy too hard! i thought i was the only one who noticed that but obviously not! sorry i will not be watching again! Now about to see what “the sisterhood” is all about!
Hell no I didn’t watch it, when I saw the preveiw of her singing creep for the show I was done..It screamed desperation, but I hope all works out for her!!!
T-Boz is very comical and I admire her personality, and her coming back after all that she has been through. Welcome back
It was boring. I couldn’t get through the whole episode. Is TLC still relevant?
Saw a rerun of it today and I will watch again. It’s not a lot of BS action going on which is fine with me. I need a change.
I caught a lil bit of the show, it was OK! It’s nice to see T-Boz back in her element after her ABUSIVE relationship with Mac-10 & her health struggles with sickle cell & a brain tumor. I’m all for seein black women & women in general on reality tv NOT actin a fool for sum spare change! Go T-Boz! S/N: I see Chilli still has NO man in her life (except her son)!
T-boz isn’t ghetto , nor does she have much sass. She was recently on Ch.5 Morning Show here in L.A. and she is very low key, well-mannered, and well-rounded. Even had the cute white boy flirting. It was cute. And watching , Chilli’s reality show a few years back, neither T-boz or Chilli are ghetto.Personally, I think the some black entertainers put on that ghetto or sassy behavior just to appease their blackfan base inorder to sell their music,videos, movies, shows. Because if they came out being proper or sophisticated or classy in anyway, they wouldn’t have the black audience, and they would be critized and would receive blacklash. You have to cater to your demographics. Look at 50 cent interview with Oprah, he said that he felt that he has grown but that his fans have not. And for the record, if T-boz didn’t come with the sassy attitude, blacks wouldn’t like it. Tamar is all sass and she got a spin-off.
yea so im back ! lol i just watched the sisterhood and i have to honestly say that i loved it!!!! i will definitely be watching!
I’m diggin the Sisterhood, too….I’m going to watch both shows, though.
it was ok, after going through evrything that she has…i think t-boz is happy about life and living…and i dont blame her, so let her have her happy…god bless you t-boz, much success and good health
It was good to see a show with no fighting and all the ratchet mess that usually accompanies it…
T-Boz just needs to tone it down….it’s better than a lot of the reality shows that are on now…
i thought it was cute , and CHASE is adorable, she looks just like her dad.
I loved TLC so I’m watching
Sisterhood was boring too. Ivy was in the group Escape, when?? Those $2.00 churches in Atl with those half million dollar homes. We all now
lol!
I must say that "I LOVE THE SHOW" and I will be watching the next episode. I will not stand in judgement of T-Boz in any way, because she’s trying and that’s all that matters to me.
I wish you her all the success she can use to get her where she wants to be in her career.
Last night’s first episode of Totally T-Boz did indeed hold my interest. I agree with you that her and Chilli may not have the most logical musical career, but it is entirely interesting to hear about T-Boz’ not so pretty past and how she wants to help others.
Tboz has always been funny and outgoing. I guess these new fans don’t understand. And chilli has a man. TRUST ME!
Seems like black people only like black shows when it’s rachet but then turn around in the same breath and claim that hate rachet shows and how it makes our community look ignorant but stay feeding into their ratings. Unfortunately controversy sales and when you are trying to be classy no one cares about it because it’s "boring". Sad…Do be better black folks!
BORING! To many people trying to get there 10 minutes of fame! Im one and done with the show!
Sometimes you need to know when to sit yo azz down. She’s irrevelant without Chili and Left Eye.
The show is actually good. Chris her cousin is funny (without trying),cute,and have charisma, her brother he is serious, straight business which is good ( his beats are good he has potential) , Tae Tae is funny, is trying to help T-Boz get back out there and her cousin too! Thats what family is about and this show is a winner
Oh! yeah! Chase has personlity and looks like her father.
We all have that one family member like T-Box, so I can totally see myself hanging out with her. T-Boz needs to do her own thing ..you can’t ride TLC forever…I’m just saying!
So it’s good that he show is getting her name back out there, and if she is a song writer thats good cause that money in the bank too.
You read the family pretty well. Thanks for the positive feedback. Continue to look out for the new projects
I actually enjoyed it!
I missed it!! …turned the channel just as the Sisterhood show came on… based on comments, seems like it was all I expected it to be, boring… oh well.
I enjoyed it. T-boz seems fun and down to earth. At the beginning of the episode I thought that she was just being to much, but she’s been through a lot and lost a lot of time recovering from illnesses. She should be living life to its fullest.
I don’t watch much television, but I’ll try to catch her show.
Well apparently since most if y’all didn’t make it past 5 minutes, y’all hatin asses would’ve saw that T-Boz is really trynna focus on be a songwriter! Yeah she’s also seeing where she can take her long pushed off solo effort but Chilli is the one that seemed to be pressed about TLC. She mad cuz Tboz writing for others instead of TLC! Duhhhhhh, cuz she not studdin the whole TLC thing no more. And all that realizing when your time is up talk is pure hate! But since y’all f$&k asses turned the channel after 5 minutes to hate on the blog, u wouldn’t know that! Anyway, Ill be watching all the lil 4 episodes.
I watched both episodes and it was still on the same script with Tboz coming back. I didnt hate and will ALWAYS SUPPORT MY POSITIVE SISTERS!!! Tboz, you never left hun, just give us a record or write sumthing, I will be there. RIP Left Eye!!!!
@YepIsaidit; I totally agree.Also, edited or not, Chili seemed a little pissed that T’s trying to make it on her own.Does Chili actually think that T being a mother and serious illnesses wants to do road trips trying to recapture a life that Chili can’t get over? When Left Eye left (no pun intended) that was the end of TLC. They did their search without realizing Left Eye actually WAS integral part of group. Chili seems insensitive to reality. Guess she’s desperate for a check too since she couldn’t bag Mayweather and Austin’s support check is about to expire. Chasin’ all those rainbows with that swimmers hair and white dudes as the pot’o'gold was and will be her waste. T’s onto better things. Something will happen for her. She deserves to make it.
I like the show. How can people have such strong opinions from one episode. or is it you know that youre not gonna see any fights?
@MsFoLife: so did I! People just prefer the drama more than watching someone try to get back on track after such a rough time in her life! She’s a survivor. Losing her sight, sickle cell and a brain tumor is more than many of us would be able to handle! But instead of receiving praise for making it thru and pressing on, people focused on hating on her. If you not gone watch the show cuz it was sooooooo boring…..why the hell is TBoz worth a comment on a blog?! People kill me!
I like the show and will definitely watch it again..about time there’s no drama on a show for change…
I tried REALLY hard to watch it, too, but I was bored out of my mind. I’m not a hater and I want Tionne to do well, but this reality show just wasn’t the business. I like my reality shows served up with a shitload of drama and a hefty portion of entertainment on the side. If I want positivity, I’ll look to my real life for that. I watch TV for entertainment as everybody else does. Let’s be real. Her show just was not entertaining. OAN, they lost me when they showed the lady in the scooter. I was like y’all couldn’t pan her from the chest up?! I was out the game at that point! LOL
@Mzrgrs: I’m DEAD at the mention of the lady on the scooter!! I was on the flo after that. Like come on now! Then had the nerve to park it and be dancing while they at the fair! Only us. It was a slow episode I must admit but it picked up toward the end with the whole Chilli drama, but since I like T-Boz and loved TLC growing up, I’ll give her a chance!
You’re better than me, girl.
Totally T Boz was Totally Wack
I completely agree and that doesn’t make either of us haters.
This was horrible. Some people need to quit while they’re ahead, behind, sideways or in a circle. Something! Horri-di-ble!
Hell no!!!!!
MESS bless her heart Lmao
She was acting so extra and her show still turning out extra boring…
Boring!
She was trying too hard.. I like her but the show was boring. I’m going to at least try to see if it’s better next time though.
another reality show? Really?
I agree with everybody above I deleted her right off my DVR recordings….smh
Boring deleted
No! It was awful!
What channel did it come on
Did not watch it just looked to boring
I liked it a lot, liked her and her family’s personality, it was a peaceful reality show, like Tia & Tamara, I reality show not focused on scripted ratchet gutter rat antics, a reality show about the reality of somebody’s "REAL" life situations, a show about a nice, talented lady rebuilding her brand/career.
Wow, at people being bored from watching somebody try to be a decent, productive individual who natures her friends and family and is trying to rebuild something positive. F*cking WOW at being bored by decency. Maybe that’s why her show isn’t on BET, MTV, VH1 because she knew better than to expect civilized people with civilized goals to watch and not be "BORED" maybe that’s why Tia & Tamara’s show is on a non-hoodrat channel. These decent women aren’t here to entertain you bored a** people who live and die for Vh1 drama. Thank you T-boz and TLC for doing something for an audience who likes to see good people doing decent, productive things, ans seeing career minded people work towards their dreams.
No disrespect, but I am a decent woman and I just so happen to watch "Tia & Tamera" as well and I enjoy those lovely, young ladies just like I enjoy T-Boz outside of her reality show. I actually just got done watching one of T&T’s episodes. The difference between their show and T-Boz’s? Tia and Tamera are ENTERTAINING. I’m not just watching TV for hoodrat antics and ass whoopings. I watch to be visually pleased by what I’m spending time in my life watching, which is time that I will never get back. T-Boz didn’t come off as authentic, so in my and pretty much everybody else on this posting’s book, she read boring. People can like it, love it, or leave it alone.
It was just DREADFUL. I watched it out of respect because I adore her, but I can’t. Truly, I can’t.
she was trying TOO HARD for the camera!! it was so obvious, DVR Series Deleted real quick
Its okay. Kinda interested in how her new music will play out. Like u stated…she hasnt proved to us that she really has strong vocals. Just with her sound, im thinkin the entire album will be auto-tuned.
It wasnt about the lack of drama for me, I mean, I watch Tia and Tamera and love that show..but T boz for one was annoying as hell and I couldnt bear to watch the rest of the show…but those "preacher wives" were something else right? I know I will be watching that mess…LOL
I have been a TLC fan since day 1 and they will always be one of my favorite groups. I agree with the comments that she seemed to be trying too hard to be real. She needs to tone that down and just be herself and stop trying to overly perform for the camera. However, I disagree that the show was boring. It certainly is not as entertaining as the Real Housewives, but it is not that kind of reality show. I look forward to the rest of the season.
The "acting" was just too much. It was over the top. Nobody acts like that ALL the time. I mean, people may joke around with the neck rolling, ghetto-hood antics etc., but they just seemed fake to me (and I only saw the first scene when she walked out after knocking over the cereal and doing the two-finger point from The Color Purple). Sigh, did they really have to let the roach have his own invisible scene? I was waiting for them to show it so I could be too through.
I don’t like it so far but I’m sure it will get high ratings. What is the world coming to? I wonder how far this reality stuff will go? What’ll be next I wonder…Baby Mamas of the Projects? I wouldn’t be surprised.
I missed the show! I really wanted to see it! I love Miss Tionne Watkins. I loved TLC very much! Got to see them live in concert on the "Fan Mail" tour. Why so much hate? We should all be sticking together! Shoeing respect! Thats why the black community is so fucked up!
Everybody is always talking shit about each other, acting like ghetto fools and showing white america how stupid they think we are. What is wrong with blacks being sophisticated and intelligent? I dont get it.
And before you start hating on ME, I am a black woman who has made it out of the ghetto due to hard work and persistence, and still het made fun by family and "friends" for thinking I am "too good" or "wannabee white"…. so far from the truth. I just wanted to be a well spoken, classy woman who wants positive role models for my people, especially sisters. I want us blacks to be respected, but it must be earned and respected.
Anyway, good luck to Miss Tionne…love your sultry voice and myself and my husband think you still look good! forget the haters!
This show’s concept is great! ….and I love T-Boz!…but…
It just doesn’t work. I would love to see more positive women/strong women/supportive types on TV but we all know that will not produce ratings. Aren’t the creators (or T-Boz herself) smarter than that?
I give her tons of credit for pushing forward in life through so many obstacles, including the big scary reality that she is older now and needs to prove herself even more (despite the health issues, etc.)Love the fact that she raises her daughter with the same strong head on her shoulders! That’s a good set of values to pass down!
I wish her ALL the best and would like to say I’d want to watch more of the show, but I don’t. Not because of T-Boz though…it’s her god-awful friends! Some are ok (Tae Tae is funny..clearly wants the best for T-Boz and knows she needs a little push to get out there)…..but they’re all loud, obnoxious, rude, and desperately seeking the limelight. Especially her "friend, business partner, and shopping buddy" (seriously?? WTF?? hahaha). Talk about RUDE! I know she’s "joking" when she talks about calling out ugly babies and saying how T-Boz’s husband wasn’t attractive when she first met her..but…that just shows she’s an ugly person inside. Maybe the kind of attitude she displays is the reason why she doesn’t have a husband of her own. Poor guy wouldn’t want to stay two minutes into THAT relationship…I could see it now! You can say you’re being "honest" and that’s who you really are, but it’s clear Tara is ALL about herself. Classic generation of "I want what I want now!". (aka-having a baby and not waiting to make sure she brings it into a life that will be ideal for it…talk about selfish!?) I hope they get rid of Tara on the show and put a little more substance in….For T-boz’s sake!
Blah blah blah..all her health problems, returning to the music scene..reinventing herself? I mean seriously haven’t we all seen this reality show cliche by other celebrities time and time again? Salt N Pepa Show, Hammertime etc,
Even the storyline for this show is repetitive and boring. Just because people not feeling her show don’t make them haters…sick of that overused word.
I think T-boz need to produce or something, take a seat in the background, cause in front of the camera isn’t her thing. It doesn’t seem natural or believable. It is sad cause TLC made so much money in their prime to even have to resort to what seems a desperate attempt to stay relevant.
They should be living well off of royalty checks by now..not reality TV.
I just wanna know why this chick always looks so damn miserable. It’s like a smile actually hurts her face. Personally, I don’t find her interesting whatsoever, and I was a HUGE TLC fan back in the day.
I KNOW. She needs to try and crack a smile once in a while instead of acting like a cliche ghetto hood rat.
I was totally appalled by how unappreciate T-Boz has become.
She blows Chili off like she’s crazy for wanting to keep TLC going – WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO KEEP A GOOD THING GOING? Why would anyone want to live that boring, workaday life she’s currently living when she could be a huge star again.
She acts as though SHE was the glue that held TLC together. It was Left Eye that MADE the group. She seems like she’s just lost that "feeling" and just wants a normal life instead of that of a superstar.
