Can I get a slow clap for Shaunie O'Neal? She said she was going to clean up the violence and drama on Basketball Wives, and by God, she's going to deliver. Oh wait. Nevermind. Instead, Ms. Nostrils O'Neal fired the calm ladies and kept her violent, bullying friends for the fifth season. They say they want to redeem themselves. I think Kenya Bell needs to duck!
That's right, folks! Both wine bottle tossing, table jumping Evelyn Lozada and purse snatching, in-your-face screaming Tami Roman will be back for another round. Apparently, they've "grown" in light of recent circumstances and deserve a fifth second chance. Tami suffered a mild heart attack, so she has a new lease on life, while Evelyn had a short-lived marriage that ended in a head butt from Chad Johnson, so surely she's learned that violence isn't the answer. Right? Hello? Anyone believe that?

Both women have taken to Twitter to announce their return, and both ladies are praying for a calmer season this time. On Tuesday, Tami wrote, "So TODAY is my first day of taping…Peace be still and bridle my tongue Lord…hope this prayer works LOL."
When a follower asked Tami if she was working on Basketball Wives, Tami responded, "Chile Y else would I pray THAT prayer LOL-Yes :)" adding, "Really enjoyed seeing the ladies tonight. :)" We'll see how long this lasts. Who am I kidding? Shaunie got rid of everyone that Tami can't stand, so I am sure she really will enjoy this season.
Evelyn is also asking for some divine intervention as filming begins, tweeting Tuesday, "The time has finally arrived tweeps! I'm heading to film BBW5 Miami!! ***Let us pray***" followed by a shout-out to Nostrils where she wrote, "Great first day filming with my boo @ShaunieONeal – 1 down 3 more months to go."
Yesterday, Evelyn posted a devotional with the caption, "Apologies to all those I've hurt."
All of this atonement is well and good, but only time will tell how serious these ladies are. I am, however, fascinated by Evelyn's Twitter. I feel like she and LeAnn Rimes should start some kind of Twitter addiction support group. This is in no way on topic, but I think even more than her prayer tweets, her most recent tweet speaks more to Evelyn's demeanor…plus, it's pretty hilarious. After having multiple followers inquiring about what she planned to do with the embryos she froze to start a family with Chad, Evelyn replied, "Chile, I may let them thangs get freezer burnt!" We can always count on Evelyn to keep it classy!
Heading to the West Coast, there are some pretty hefty allegations flying among the ladies of Basketball Wives: LA. According to The YBF the reunion is going to be much juicier than the actual season…of course given the recent state of the show, we could watch John Salley assemble a swing set on the reunion and it would be more riveting than the season. We've seen so far that Bambi seems to keep it real with the ladies, and she's not holding her tongue at the reunion.
Sources on set say that Bambi calls Gloria Govan a straight up whore and accuses her of cheating on husband Matt Barnes. Bambi goes on to allege that Gloria "ran through" Los Angeles based record label Black Wall Street, which could explain why BWS' The Game has been talking about Gloria's "ways." That's not good.
Gloria's giant denial? According to the source, she quietly responds, "True or not True….I'm in love with Matt and nothing else matters." Well, I'm convinced! Of what, I'm not quite sure…
Another doozie of a rumor on the reunion set is the one that attempts to explain the rift between Gloria and her sister Laura, and it's along the same vein of the "Gloria sleeping around" variety. An insider claims that Laura found out that Gloria bedded her fiance Gilbert Arenas before she got together with him. Somewhere, Shaunie O'Neal is laughing her nostrils off at the irony of it all!
TELL US-ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT EVELYN AND TAMI RETURNED TO BBW? CAN YOU BELIEVE BAMBI'S ALLEGATIONS AGAINST GLORIA?
