Family or Fiance'
Are you watching this show Family or Fiance'? I had Cocktails and Conversation with Tracy McMillan at the Gathering Spot and she really tells it like it is. I truly am invested in it myself. Oprah you have a winner. I think all families should do something like this to see if they family will mesh or if the two people that are supposed to be so in Love with each other really can stand the heat or get out of the Kitchen.
