PLEASE, GIVE IT UP FOR TAMAR BRAXTON.

SO, WHILE WE'RE IN OAKLAND,

I'M DOIN' A RADIO MEET AND GREET,

AND WE'RE NEARING THE END OF MY TOUR,

AND THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS HAS BEEN

ALL MY TAMARTIAN FRIENDS.

LIKE, I TRULY GET TO BE ME,

AND THEY GET TO BE THEM RIGHT BACK.

HEY, EVERYBODY.

YES, MY KINDA CROWD.

A BUNCH OF HOTNESS WITH COCKTAILS.

OKAY, SO, YOU'RE A NEW MOM.

- YES. - YES.

AND I FIGURED I'D ASK YOU THE QUESTION AGAIN,

'CAUSE THE QUOTE WAS,

"OKAY, I'M NOT DOIN' THIS AGAIN."

EVER.

OKAY, SO, THE QUESTION WAS GONNA BE,

HAD YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND ABOUT THAT?

- GOD, NO, NO. - BUT, NO?

- NO. - NO?

NO.

IT HURT. - A LITTLE WORK.

YEAH, IT'S A LITTLE WORK. - THAT'S A LOT OF WORK.

LIES. - IT'S A LITTLE WORK.

ALL RIGHT, SO, A BUNCH OF SISTERS.

- YEAH. - WHICH ONE ARE YOU CLOSEST TO?

OKAY, UM, I'M GONNA-- ANYBODY HAVE SISTERS HERE?

YEAH. SISTERS?

WELL, WE HAVE MOMENTS.

'CAUSE YOU'RE MEAN, AND YOU'RE HATEFUL.

- I'M MEAN-- I'M MEAN? - AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE.

I'M HATEFUL-- THAT'S HILARIOUS.

YOUR REALLY DON'T HAVE TO BE.

I CAN SHOW YOU HATEFUL, THOUGH.

YOU KNOW, WE FALL OUT, AND THEN WE FALL BACK ON,

AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THAT'S HOW SISTERS DO.

THAT'S FAMILY.

THAT'S FAMILY-- THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M KINDA OVER THE TOWANDA QUESTIONS.

NO SHADE.

UH, 'CAUSE THERE'S NOTHIN' THAT I-I--

WHAT ELSE I'M GONNA SAY ABOUT IT?

YOU KNOW, LIKE, DON'T-- HONESTLY, LIKE...

WE GOTTA TALK ABOUT SOMETHIN' ELSE.

- SO, LET'S PLAY A LITTLE GAME. - UH-OH.

- PLAY A LITTLE GAME. - OKAY.

SO, ONE WORD...

YOU GOT ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE... - OH, NO.

THE-THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE OR EXPERIENCES.

OKAY.

OKAY, ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE YOUR HUSBAND.

EVERYTHING.

YES.

AND ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF.

YEAH, THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND.

SHE'S GONNA PULL OUT A REAL GOOD ONE-- I KNOW IT.

LIKE, WHAT YOU MEAN, THOUGH?

LIKE--

IF YOU ONLY HAD ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE TAMAR.

DESCRIBE MYSELF TO OTHER PEOPLE, YOU MEAN?

- NO-NO. - OR HOW DO I LOOK AT MYSELF?

YEAH, HOW YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF-- YES.

I GUESS THE FIRST WORD THAT COMES TO MIND,

THAT KEEPS POPPIN' UP, IS "WORTHY."

YEAH, YEAH.

I-I DESERVE EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME.

I'VE WORKED HARD.

WE THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO US,

RIGHT? - RIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT WHEN THE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO US?

- YES. - DID I PUT IN THE WORK?

WELL, YEAH, I PUT IN THE WORK.

DID I KISS A LOT OF FROGS TO GET MY PRINCE?

WELL, YEAH, I DID.

- MMM-HMM. - YOU KNOW?

SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU HAVE THINGS HANDED TO YOU,

YOU DON'T GET THE WORTH,

BUT I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING HANDED TO ME.

I REALLY WORKED.

AND SO, I FEEL LIKE I'M WORTHY OF THE PAYOFF.

WE THANK YOU FOR BEING SO FABULOUS.

OH, THANK YOU-- YOU KNOW, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY.

LIKE, I REALLY, REALLY, HONEST TO GOD,

THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU-- THANK YOU.

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

THANK YOU, .

YEAH, I'M TRYIN' TO.

VERY ANNOYING, A LITTLE BIT.

- IS IT REALLY? - WHERE'S EVERYBODY?

THEY'RE PROBABLY IN THE KITCHEN.

- HEY, GUYS. - HEY, Y'ALL.

- HEY. - HEY, MAMA.

OOH, I GOTTA TAKE MY SHOES OFF.

- SIT DOWN, MOMMY. - MY FEET IS KILLING ME.

- WHY COME? - YOU LOOK TIRED.

WELL, Y'ALL KNOW WHAT I-- HOW COME.

MOMMY HAD TO WALK DOWN THE COURT STEPS OF JUSTICE.

TAMAR JUST GOT BACK FROM BEING ON TOUR,

AND WE'RE ALL HERE IN L.A. TO SUPPORT MOMMY.

SHE AND I JUST FLEW IN FROM NEW YORK,

BECAUSE SHE HAD TO GO TO COURT THIS MORNING

TO FACE CHARGES FOR TRYING TO CARRY A TASER ON THE PLANE.

IT'S BEEN A HARD DAY FOR BOTH OF US,

SO IT'S NICE TO JUST BE AROUND THE FAMILY.

WAIT A MINUTE-- WHY DO YOU HAVE A MASK ON?

'CAUSE YOU'RE SICK, AND I AIN'T GONNA--

I'M BOOKED, GIRL.

WHEN YOU GOT AROUND YOU, GIRL,

YOU-YOU'RE BOOKED-- YOU GOT PRESSURE-PRESSURE.

TAMAR, I'M NOT EVEN CONTAGIOUS ANYMORE.

SHE'S NOT CONTAGIOUS.

TAMAR, I CANNOT BELIEVE SHE'S WEARING A SURGICAL MASK.

IT'S NOT THAT MANY GERMS.

TELL US EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

WHEN YOU'RE AT THE AIRPORT, T.S.A. IS THERE.

YOU'RE GOIN' THROUGH-- "OKAY, MS. BRAXTON.

"GO THROUGH-- TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES."

WHILE I WAS STANDING THERE WAITING,

THIS LADY CAME OVER TO ME.

SHE SAID, "DID YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A TASER IN YOUR PURSE?"

I SAID, "OH, MY GOD!

"I DO-- I'M SO SORRY."

SO, SHE CALLED, UH, THE POLICEMAN.

HE ASKED ME, "WHAT HAPPENED?"

UH-HUH.

I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS BEIN' STALKED,

THAT MY LIFE WAS THREATENED, AND SO ON,

AND I HAD BOUGHT A TASER TO PROTECT MYSELF.

THEN, AFTER THEY, UM, PROCESSED ME

AND ALL THAT KINDA STUFF, THEY TOOK ME TO THE BIG HOUSE.

THEY TOOK ME TO--

WAIT A MINUTE-- WAIT A MINUTE.

- NO, NO-- - I KNOW IT'S NOT FUNNY.

THEY TOOK ME TO QUEENS.

THEY FINGERPRINTED ME.

THEY TOOK A M-MUG SHOT.

I SPENT THE NIGHT THERE.

IT'S VERY HUMILIATING, ESPECIALLY FOR ME.

I'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING AGAINST THE LAW.

I ALWAYS TRY TO TEACH MY FAMILY,

LOOK, YOU DO THE RIGHT THING.

IT WAS-IT WAS JUST DEVASTATING.

OF COURSE, I HAD TO GO TO COURT.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT?

SO, THEY WANT MOMMY TO PLEA OUT.

OKAY.

AND SAY THAT IT WAS DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

- ALL RIGHT. - BUT, MOMMY WAS LIKE,

"OKAY, WELL, I WASN'T ACTING DISORDERLY,

"IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM." - THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

YOU KNOW, THE ONLY WAY, IT SEEMS LIKE,

THAT I'M GONNA BE PROTECTED, IS AFTER I DIE.

IF THIS MAN KILLS ME,

THEN THEY'LL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

SO, YOU HAD TO DO A PLEA BARGAIN.

WHAT DID YOU PLEA TO? - WHAT DID I PLEA TO, TRINA?

SHE ENDED UP PLEADING TO DISORDERLY CONDUCT.

BUT THE GOOD THING ABOUT IT IS, IN A YEAR,

IT'S EXPUNGED. - A WHOLE YEAR.

THE JUDGE SAID THAT,

AS A PART OF THIS PLEA BARGAIN,

MOMMY WILL BE ON PROBATION FOR A YEAR,

BUT IF SHE HAS ANY VIOLATIONS IN THAT YEAR,

SHE COULD GO TO JAIL.

THEY CAN GIVE ME A TICKET, AND I'M BACK IN JAIL.

COULD SHE GET A TRAFFIC VIOLATION?

- NO, NOTHING. - SHE CAN'T GET ANYTHING.

- NOTHING. - THAT'S HORRIBLE.

EVEN THOUGH I DON'T AGREE WITH THE PLEA BARGAIN

OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT, I'VE COME TO ACCEPT IT,

AND I JUST WANT TO MOVE ON.

I'M STILL GONNA PROTECT MYSELF, MIND YOU.

BUT, LEGALLY. - IT'S SAD.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW ALL THE LAWS IN DIFFERENT STATES.

DID YOU KNOW-- IS-IS IT IN D.C.?

MOMMY, YOU MIGHT WANNA CLOSE YOUR EARS.

IT'S ILLEGAL TO HAVE SEX OTHER THAN MISSIONARY.

MMM, I SHOULD BE IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

BETTER CHECK IT, TOWANDA-- SEE IF THAT'S A LAW.

I'M ALMOST POSITIVE. - DID YOU GET YOUR PURSE BACK?

NEVER DID-- DIDN'T EVEN GET MY PURSE BACK.

THEY TOOK MY PURSE. - LIES, LIES, GIRL.

THAT IS LOUIS VUITTON. - AS MUCH AS A PURSE COSTS,

THAT REALLY SUCKS. - I'LL GET THROUGH THIS.

IT'S OKAY. - YES, YOU WILL.

I'M SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU.

- IT WAS TERRIBLE. - THAT'S A HORRIBLE ORDEAL.

IT WAS TERRIBLE-- IT WAS REALLY BAD.

YUCK.

OKAY, LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT FOR A SECOND.

LET'S TALK ABOUT ME. - WHAT'S THAT?

WHAT YOU GOT FILES FOR,

MISS MAGNUM P.I.? - I DO.

'CAUSE I WANT YOU GUYS TO LOOK AT THESE PICTURES.

I HAVEN'T SHOWN ALL OF MY PICTURES

THAT I TOOK FOR MY 40th BIRTHDAY PARTY

TO MY FAMILY YET, AND I JUST FIGURED,

SINCE WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE TOGETHER,

I WANTED TO SHOW THEM MY WONDERFUL, FABULOUS,

FORTIETH BIRTHDAY PARTY PICTURES,

AND I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT SHOWIN' MOMMY

BECAUSE I'M SHOWIN' A LITTLE BIT OF MY NAKEDNESS.

I DON'T THINK THAT SHE'LL BE TOO JUDGMENTAL RIGHT NOW,

GIVEN HER SITUATION.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!

- WHAT'S THIS FOR? - WHAT'S THIS FOR?

THAT'S MY 40th PICTURE THAT I'M GONNA BLOW UP.

- TOWANDA, WHAT? - DO YOU LIKE THIS ONE?

I LIKE THIS ONE-- THIS IS THE MOST TASTEFUL.

- THAT'S MY FAVORITE. - YES.

THAT'S FOR HERSELF.

IT DON'T HAVE TO BE-- - NO, I'M SAYIN',

IT'S MORE-MORE-MORE ARTISTIC TO ME.

YOU LOOK LIKE, "I'M A HO, A WOMAN!"

THAT'S WHAT SHE LOOK LIKE.

THIS ONE'S HOT.

I AM EXCITED ABOUT HOW EVERYONE IS TALKIN' ABOUT

MY WONDERFUL, NUDE PHOTOS.

IT'S JUST LETTIN' ME KNOW THAT MY BODY IS STILL FLAWLESS

AND FABULOUS-- 40 AND FABULOUS.

I THINK THEY'RE ALL TASTEFUL.

- MMM-HMM. - SHE'S NOT NUDE.

- I'M NOT NUDE. - WELL, I SEE CRACKS.

CRACKS?

YEAH, I DON'T WANNA SEE CRACKS.

- HER BUTT CRACK? - THAT'S A THONG.

- OH, YOU MEAN, THIS ONE. - WHEN YOU'RE 40,

YOU DON'T WANT A CRACK, SO YOU DON'T WANNA DO THAT.

THAT'S NOT A CRACK.

YOU WANNA KNOW MY OPINION, OR NO?

THOSE TWO ARE TASTEFULLY DONE.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYIN'. - GIRL!

THE OTHERS, I DON'T LIKE 'EM.

- YOU DON'T LIKE 'EM? - I-I DON'T LIKE 'EM, EITHER.

REALLY, HONESTLY, THE LAST THING YOU WANNA SEE

IS SOMEBODY'S ASS, WHEN YOU TELL YOUR FAMILY THAT YOU,

YOU KNOW, WENT TO COURT, AND YOU DONE GOT ARRESTED,

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ALREADY STRESSED.

I MEAN, THAT'S THE LAST THING I WANNA SEE,

IS A BUNCH OF BREAST AND BOOTY SHOTS.

I-I MEAN--

YOU WANNA KNOW WHY I DON'T LIKE 'EM?

NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT-- I'LL KEEP 'EM TO MYSELF.

OKAY-- YOU SURE?

SHE'S NOT GONNA PUT THESE UP IN HER HOUSE.

- WHERE THEY GOIN'? - NO, THIS IS MY PERSONAL--

OH, LOOK AT GOD!

THANK GOD FOR JESUS.

I THOUGHT TOWANDA DID A ADULT PHOTO SHOOT.

HOWEVER, IF THESE ARE JUST FOR HERSELF,

FOR HER 40th BIRTHDAY, THEN I KINDA-I KINDA--

WE'LL ACCEPT IT.

I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND GET MY PHOTOS PRINTED.

HEY, TOWANDA, CAN YOU LET ME KNOW

WHEN YOU FRY CHICKEN AND MAKE SOME MACARONI AND CHEESE,

SO WE CAN EAT? - OKAY, I'LL DO IT.

TOWANDA, YOU DO NOT NEED TO ADD ANY MORE WEIGHT

TO THAT BOOTY.

EW.

- NASTY. - EW-- BYE.

MY WAIST ISN'T-- WHOO-WHOO!

TRACI, WHO MADE THIS CHICKEN?

- MAMA. - IS IT GOOD?

UH, YOUR HUSBAND HAD FOUR PIECES.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S DONE.

REALLY-- IT'S CRUNCHY.

I HEAR THE CRUNCH IN IT. - NO, IT'S--

MOMMY MIGHT BE LOSIN' HER TOUCH.

- HEY, Y'ALL. - HEY.

WHAT'S UP, BOO?

WHY YOU SKATE IN HERE? - YEAH.

I'M NOT SKATIN'.

I LOVE HAVIN' MY SISTERS AROUND ME,

BUT TRINA IS IN, LIKE, A FUNKY MOOD.

SHE WALKIN' AROUND LIKE SOMEBODY DONE STOLE HER BIKE

OR SOMETHIN'.

LIKE, WHAT'S T., FOR REAL?

YOU SAID-YOU DID LIKE-- YOU SAID, "OH, HI."

YOU OKAY?

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ERIC'S ABOUT TO LEAVE

AND GO TO SCHOOL.

TRINA, THEY'RE GONNA GROW UP.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

BE HAPPY THAT HE'S GOIN' TO COLLEGE.

- YEAH. - INSTEAD OF SITTIN' AT HOME,

ACTIN' LIKE HE CAN'T FIND HIMSELF.

HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW,

HE WON'T GO COMPLETELY BUCK WILD.

- OH, HE'S GONNA GO BUCK WILD. - TOO LATE.

I'M TELLING YOU-- GOIN' OFF.

YOU-- I WAS BUCK WILD.

I WISH I WAS MORE BUCK WILD.

THE FIRST YEAR YOU'RE AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE,

IT'S GOIN' DOWN.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

SO, YOU AND GABE HAVIN' BUSINESS SEX?

THAT MUST BE GOOD.

WAIT, NO-- SAY, "HONEST TO GOD."

HONEST TO GOD-- RIGHT HAND TO THE MAN.

- REALLY? - YES!

HOPEFULLY, YOU KNOW,

HE WON'T GO COMPLETELY BUCK WILD.

OH, HE'S GONNA GO BUCK WILD.

THE FIRST YEAR YOU'RE AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE,

IT'S GOIN' DOWN.

GOING BUCK WILD IS IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY AT THAT AGE.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

I SHOULD-I DEFINITELY SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE BUCK WILD.

LISTEN, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.

- I EXPERIENCED A LITTLE BIT. - DON'T TRY TO LOOK AT ME,

'CAUSE EVERYBODY KNEW I WAS BUCK WILD.

LISTEN, STANDIN' ON MY FOREHEAD,

SPITTIN' NICKELS.

I'M TELLING YOU, HAD I KNOWN.

FOR THE RECORD, I DID NOT GO BUCK WILD AT ERIC'S AGE.

EVEN THOUGH I DID SOME THINGS

THAT WEREN'T INDICATIVE OF NORMAL TRINA,

I DIDN'T GO OVERBOARD.

I STILL MADE GOOD GRADES,

AND I HAD A GREAT-I HAD A GREAT-- WELL, YEAH.

WELL, MAYBE I DID GO BUCK WILD.

WELL, I SEE WHY YOU'D BE WORRIED.

YOU UNDERSTAND.

BUT YOU HAVE TO LET HIM EXPLORE ON HIS OWN.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY HE'S GONNA GET IT.

I DO, AND I DON'T WANNA BE A 30-YEAR-OLD GRAND-MAMA.

WELL, YOU BETTER BUY HIM SOME CONDOMS.

NO, HE HAS TO BUY HIMSELF SOME.

THAT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY.

IT'S UP TO HIM TO MAKE SURE HE GETS HIS UNMENTIONABLES

AND HIS TOILETRIES,

AND INCLUDED IN HIS TOILETRIES, WOULD BE THE PARTY HAT.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

I CAN'T GO THERE EVERY WEEK AND MAKE SURE HE HAS CONDOMS

IN HIS DRAWER.

I MEAN, HOW WOULD THAT LOOK, ME COMING TO THE DORM,

AND KNOCKING ON HIS DOOR, AND SAY, "HEY, SON,

"HERE ARE YOUR CONDOMS?"

UH, NO, THAT'S TACKY.

AND A BIT WEIRD, IF YOU WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH.

I WENT ONLINE, SHOWIN' HIM PICTURES OF,

LIKE, SYPHILIS AND STUFF,

AND JUST TO LET HIM KNOW THAT,

EVERYTHING THAT LOOKS GOOD IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.

- NOT GOOD-- RIGHT. - IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO YOU,

BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE GOOD FOR YOU.

AND EVERYTHING THAT HAS A SMELL IS SPOILED.

YOU UNDERSTAND-- I HAD TO HAVE THOSE TALKS.

IF HER FEET AIN'T CUTE, HER COOTCHIE AIN'T CUTE.

WHAT?

TRINA, WHAT'D SHE SAY?

THAT BOY IS 18 YEARS OLD, AND, HONEY CHILD,

ONE DAY, HE'S GOING TO WALK ON THE STEPS

AND SLIP AND FALL INTO SOMEBODY'S MONKEY.

NOW, MAKE SURE HE GOT SOME CONDOMS

BEFORE HE SLIP AND FALL IN SOMEBODY'S MONKEY.

- SO, TRINA. - HMM?

SO, TELL ME ABOUT THE "BAR CHIX."

IT SOUNDS SO INTERESTING.

IT'S GONNA BE A LOTTA-LOTTA FUN.

UM, WE ARE BUILDING OUT THE TRUCKS.

SO, IT'S LIKE A FOOD TRUCK, BUT WITH A BAR.

- RIGHT, WE HAVE FOOD TRUCKS-- - OH, THAT'S SO SMART.

YES.

WE EVENTUALLY WANNA HAVE A COUPLE OF TRUCKS

IN, UM, VEGAS AND NEW ORLEANS.

OH, YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE COINT UP.

I'M ABOUT TO, OOH, SEND MY BILLS TO YOU.

AND WE'RE ABOUT TO OPEN UP THE FIRST LOCATION.

- LIKE, IS IT A STORE? - A BAR.

- OH, THAT'S DOPE. - SO, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME,

YOU AND GABE ARE NOT HAVIN' BUSINESS SEX?

SHUT-- NO, WE ARE NOT HAVING BUSINESS SEX.

TRACI, I'M GONNA SLAP THE LIFE OUTTA HER.

YOU AIN'T HAVE NO BUSINESS SEX WITH GABE?

GIRL, Y'ALL KNOW Y'ALL KNOCKIN' THEM BOOTS.

HE'S WAY DEEP DOWN IN THAT, 'CAUSE YOU KEEP GOIN' BACK.

THAT MUST BE GOOD.

Y'ALL ARE NOT HAVIN' EVEN BUSINESS SEX?

BUSINESS PARTNERS-- - LET ME TELL YOU-LET ME--

LET ME TELL YOU WHY I UNDERSTAND.

I HAVE BUSINESS SEX-- I DO.

COME ON, VINCE-- COME ON, BABY.

COME ON, COME ON.

I GOT SOMETHIN' FOR YOU.

HE BE LIKE, "OH, TA-TA-- NO.

"OOH, GIRL, WHAT YOU NEED?"

YEAH, THEY HAVIN' THAT.

"SO, BABY, WHEN MY RECORD COMIN' OUT?"

SEE WHAT I'M SAYIN'?

TRINA!

- I'M IN ERIC'S ROOM. - OKAY, I'M COMING.

TOWANDA AND I JUST GOT BACK TO ATLANTA, FROM L.A.

AND TODAY, WE'RE PACKING UP MY SON, ERIC'S, ROOM,

BECAUSE HE'S DECIDED TO FORGO THE MILITARY,

IN FAVOR OF GOING TO SCHOOL.

REALLY, TRINA?

WHY YOU HIDIN' IN A CLOSET?

- IT SMELLS LIKE HIM. - TRINA, HE'S 18 YEARS OLD.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A GOOD IDEA

TO SNIFF ON A 18-YEAR-OLD'S CLOTHES.

- HA-HA. - TRINA, COME OUT THE CLOSET.

I'LL GIVE YOU HUGS-- COME ON.

'CAUSE I KNOW HE HAS TO GROW UP.

YEAH.

REMEMBER I USED TO PINCH HIS-- BITE HIS CHEEKS?

TOWANDA, LOOK AT MY BABY.

- YOU GONNA CRY? - IT MAKES ME SAD.

AW, TRINIE... MMM.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HE GREW UP SO FAST.

LOOK AT THOSE BIG, JUICY TEARDROPS.

TOWANDA, STOP-- LEAVE ME--

TOWANDA, 'CAUSE I SAID I'M NOT GONNA GET EMOTIONAL,

AND I'M NOT.

I AM THE FIRST SISTER TO HAVE ANY OF THEIR CHILDREN

LEAVE HOME, AND IT'S HARD TO LET GO.

AND BECAUSE MY SISTERS DON'T HAVE TO LET GO RIGHT NOW,

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND, AND THEY'LL NEVER GET IT,

UNTIL THEIR KIDS ARE 18 AND LEAVES FOR SCHOOL.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS

'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PACK UP YOUR BABIES.

YOUR BABIES ARE ONLY FIVE.

WOW.

ARE YOU MOCKING ME?

I HATE YOU.

OH, MY BABY!

YOU'RE A JERK, TOWANDA.

TRINA, SHE'S SO DRAMATIC.

GOSH!

SHE'S REALLY ACTING LIKE SHE'S GONNA LOSE HER SON FOREVER.

TRINA, YOU'RE NOT LOSING ERIC FOREVER.

HE'S JUST GROWING UP.

I REMEMBER WHEN I FINALLY HAD HIM,

'CAUSE HE JUST TOOK ME THROUGH THE MILL, JUST BEING BORN.

I KNEW HE WAS GONNA BE STUBBORN,

'CAUSE HE WAS A STUBBORN BABY BEFORE HE WAS BORN.

AND WHEN HE FINALLY GOT HERE, DO YOU REMEMBER?

I WAS LIKE, "LOOK WHO'S HERE."

HE WAS SO FAT.

HE WAS FLUFFY.

WHEN THEY'RE BABIES, THEY'RE SO CUDDLY,

WITH THE LITTLE, FAT CHEEKS.

BUT, MY SON IS 18.

HE'S A MAN NOW, A-A YOUNG ADULT,

AND I NO LONGER HAVE ANY SAY IN WHAT HE DECIDES TO DO

WITH HIS LIFE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE YOUR BABY IS REALLY GROWIN' UP?

DON'T MAKE IT WORSE, TOWANDA.

WHAT'D I DO?

'CAUSE YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT.

I'M HELPING YOU, TRINA,

TO ALLOW YOU TO JUST LET HIM GO.

LET HIM GO.

TRINA, YOU'RE A LITTLE, UM, SMOTHERISH.

I GUESS WE'RE DONE.

THAT WAS FAST.

EIGHTEEN YEARS... IN FIVE BOXES.

LET'S GRAB A MARTINI.

I STOPPED DRINKIN' FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

WELL, THIS WARRANTS A DRINK.

CAN WE HAVE A FAKE MARTINI?

CAN WE JUST PUT, LIKE, SOME KOOL-AID IN A GLASS

AND ACT LIKE WE'RE DRINKIN'? - SURE.

- YOUR HAIR'S REALLY CUTE. - IS IT, REALLY?

GIRL, DO YOU REMEMBER...

DO YOU REMEMBER, IN HIGH SCHOOL,

WHEN I PUT THAT PEROXIDE ON MY HAIR?

- AND YOUR HAIR FELL OUT. - YEAH, ALL MY HAIR FELL OUT.

I CAME TO ATLANTA TO VISIT.

AND THEN, TOWANDA CALLS ME AND TRINA FOR A LUNCH MEETING.

I DON'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA

WHY TOWANDA HAD ME OUT HERE,

BUT I'M GONNA HAVE ME SOME FREE LUNCH.

HEY, GIRL-- OH, YOU LOOK CUTE.

VERY CUTE. - YOU LOOK SO CUTE.

YEAH, HONEY, YEAH. - OH, MY GOSH!

SIT DOWN.

CAN WE HAVE A COCKTAIL, SO WE CAN JUST CELEBRATE?

'CAUSE I HAVE SOME WONDERFUL NEWS.

Y'ALL MIGHT KISS ME FOR THIS.

WHAT-WHAT?

YOU'VE BEEN HAVING ME ON PINS AND NEEDLES,

BRINGING US ALL THE WAY OUT HERE

AND NOT TELLING US WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.

- I KNOW, BUT TRUST ME. - BRING THE ALCOHOL.

I PROMISE THAT IT'S ALL GONNA BE WORTH IT,

HI. AS SOON AS WE GET OUR LITTLE--

HI.

- MARGARITA. - OKAY, GO AHEAD.

I WANNA KNOW-- I WANNA KNOW THE NEWS.

- ANYWHO... - OKAY, ANYWHO.

- WE HAVE BEEN INVITED... - MMM-HMM.

- TO GO ON... - UH-HUH.

"WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?"

SHUT UP!

- NO! - YES!

ME, TRINA, AND TRACI ARE GOING TO BE ON

"WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?"

THEY ACTUALLY CONTACTED MY MANAGEMENT,

AND I'M JUST SO ELATED.

I LOVE GAME SHOWS.

CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER IS HOSTIN',

AND WE WERE ASKED TO BE ON THE SHOW! - NO.

WAIT-WAIT, NO-- SAY, "HONEST TO GOD."

HONEST TO GOD-- RIGHT HAND TO THE MAN.

- REALLY? - YES.

YES.

I AM ENTHRALLED.

I'M A FAN OF THE SHOW,

AND I THINK THAT I CAN HELP US WALK AWAY

WITH A MILLION DOLLARS-- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WANNA BECOME A MILLIONAIRE-- ME!

DO WE GET TO KEEP ANY OF THE MONEY?

WELL...

IS THAT A RUDE QUESTION TO ASK?

I HATE TO BE THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS.

BUT--

WE HAVE TO GIVE TO A, UM, ORGANIZATION.

CHARITY, OKAY.

SO, I WAS THINKIN' THAT WE SHOULD GIVE IT TO, UM,

"SAVING OUR DAUGHTERS." - "SAVING OUR"-- I KNEW IT!

I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA SAY "SAVING OUR DAUGHTERS!"

I KNEW IT-- I KNEW IT!

"SAVING OUR DAUGHTERS" IS AN ORGANIZATION

FOR LITTLE GIRLS, AND WHAT THEY DO IS,

THEY KINDA EMPOWER LITTLE GIRLS OF, UM,

ALLOWIN' 'EM TO UNDERSTAND BULLYIN' AND SELF ESTEEM.

THEY JUST KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A HAVEN TO GO TO.

SO, ARE WE GOING ON THREE DIFFERENT DAYS?

BECAUSE USING ONE CONTESTANT-- - NO, NO.

THEY WANT ALL THREE OF US

AT THE SAME DAMN TIME. - THREE OF US-- OH, LORD.

THAT'S GONNA BE CRAZY. - HOW IS THAT GONNA WORK?

- I DON'T KNOW. - I UNDERSTAND, BUT TRACI--

TOWANDA LIKES TO BE IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.

- HUH? - YES, YOU DO.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

DO YOU HAVE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD CALL

YOUR BIGGEST REGRETS?

- I'M GONNA SAY IT. - OKAY, GO AHEAD.

- I SAID IT BEFORE YOU DID. - NO, MA'AM.

TRACI SAID IT BEFORE I DID, BUT I SAID IT BEFORE YOU DID.

BUT, THAT MEANS TRACI CAN SIT IN THE CHAIR.

- NO. - YES.

- TRACI DOESN'T WANNA SIT DOWN. - TRACI'S SITTIN' IN THE CHAIR.

SO, ARE WE GOING ON THREE DIFFERENT DAYS?

THEY WANT ALL THREE OF US

AT THE SAME DAMN TIME. - THREE OF US-- OH, LORD.

TOWANDA LIKES TO BE IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.

- HUH? - YES, YOU DO.

I'M GONNA PULL BACK, AND WHEN I PULL BACK,

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. - ALL RIGHT.

TOWANDA'S GONNA PULL BACK. - I AM.

TOWANDA'S GONNA PULL BACK

♪ TOWANDA'S GONNA PULL BACK WIKI-WIKI-WIKI ♪

♪ TOWANDA'S GONNA PULL BACK WIKI-WIKI-WIKI ♪

♪ TOWANDA'S GONNA PULL BACK NEVER-NEVER-NEVER ♪

IT'S NOT IN YOUR NATURE, TOWANDA.

TOWANDA'S THE MOST COMPETITIVE,

AND TOWANDA ALSO THINKS SHE'S THE SMARTEST SISTER,

BUT I THINK I'M THE SMARTEST SISTER.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO PREPARE OURSELVES?

- JUST-- - LIKE, EAT CARROTS AND STUFF?

WHAT?

REALLY? - CARROTS ARE BRAIN--

CARROTS IS BRAIN FOOD.

TRINA, JUST MOVE AWAY FROM THE TABLE.

JUST MOVE AWAY FROM THE TABLE.

CARROTS ARE BRAIN FOODS.

AND THEN, IF I EAT THE CARROTS,

THEN I'LL START TO REMEMBER THINGS,

AND IT MAKES YOU SMARTER, SMARTER, SMARTER,

SMARTER, SMARTER.

CARROTS HAVE KERATIN, WHICH MAKES YOU SMARTER.

TO LOTS OF MONEY FOR OUR CHARITY.

HEAR-HEAR!

"SAVING OUR DAUGHTERS!"

- HI. - HI, TRACI-- I'M KWAMI.

I'M TRINA.

WE JUST ARRIVED IN NEW YORK CITY

FOR OUR TAPING FOR "WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?"

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED.

I CANNOT WAIT TO GET ON THAT SET

AND WIN, WIN, WIN!

IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE DO WELL TODAY,

SO THAT WE CAN MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS WE CAN

FOR OUR CHARITY, "SAVING OUR DAUGHTERS."

WE'RE SO EXCITED TO HAVE YOU HERE.

WE EVEN CREATED A SPECIAL LIFELINE FOR YOU LADIES.

- YAY! - WHAT IS IT?

IT'S CALLED "SWITCH A SISTER."

NO.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TWO OF YOU UP AT THE PODIUM.

OKAY.

AND ONE OF YOU IS GONNA BE IN OUR COMPANION SECTION.

MMM-HMM.

SO, THE TWO THAT ARE AT THE PODIUM

ARE GONNA BE THE ONES ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS,

BUT THE ONE AT THE COMPANION SECTION

IS GONNA BE THE ONE THAT'S GONNA BE CHIMING IN

DURING THE GAME.

THE ONLY THING THAT PERSON IN THE AUDIENCE CAN'T DO

IS YELL OUT AN ANSWER. - OH, OKAY.

TRINA JUST CAN'T GET ANY SPORTS QUESTIONS.

THAT'S OKAY.

SHE'LL HAVE HER PARTNER IN CRIME UP THERE.

WAIT-- I CAN ANSWER SOME SPORTS QUESTIONS.

HOW MANY RINGS HAS LeBRON WON?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HIS JEWELRY.

I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE AND YOU DIDN'T,

SO MAYBE THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT SPORTS,

AND I KNOW THINGS ABOUT COLLEGE STUFF

THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT, SO NOW.

HI, EVERYBODY-- I'M GEOFF.

HI, GEOFF.

I'M SUPERVISING PRODUCER-- WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

SO, WE'RE ACTUALLY READY TO REHEARSE WITH YOU ON THE SET.

- OKAY. - OUR EXECUTIVE PRODUCER'S OUT THERE.

HE'S GONNA WALK YOU THROUGH THE GAME.

SO, IF YOU'LL FOLLOW ME TO THE SET.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING-- YOU A LITTLE NERVOUS, OR--

- NO. - NO.

OH, GOOD.

IT IS SO AMAZING TO BE ON A SET

WITH SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE SEEN ON TV SO MANY TIMES.

IT'S, LIKE, OVERWHELMING-- LIKE, YES.

CEDRIC WILL ASK IF YOU'RE READY TO PLAY,

AND THEN WE'LL SEE THE FIRST QUESTION, AND THERE IT IS.

- "D." - YOU JUST JUMPED RIGHT IN.

BECAUSE YOU'RE HUNTING-- IT'S "EASTER."

YOU ARE RIGHT-- YOU GOT IT.

IT'S "EASTER." - THANK YOU.

- ALL RIGHT. - I'M GONNA GET MY ANSWERS,

AND I'M GONNA SHOW MY SISTERS, TRACI IS SMACKED.

"AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE AND VICTOR CRUZ IN ATTENDANCE,

"'VANITY FAIR' NOTED THE PRESENCE OF WHAT TREND

"AT THE RECENT MILAN FASHION SHOWS?"

STOUDEMIRE IS A BASKETBALL PLAYER,

BY THE WAY.

BUT THAT WOULD BE "A." - "A."

FINAL ANSWER, "A."

IT IS "BALLER FASHION"-- YOU GOT IT.

IT'S GOOD TO KNOW WHO THE PEOPLE ARE.

SHUT UP, TOWANDA.

DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT THEY WERE BASKETBALL PLAYER--

THAT HE'S A BASKETBALL PLAYER? - I DIDN'T.

OKAY, FINE-- I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SPORTS.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS-- I HOPE THIS HELPED.

- THAT WAS FUN. - GOOD LUCK.

THANKS.

I FEEL LIKE WE WON IT ALREADY.

- I FEEL LIKE WE WON! - I KNOW, RIGHT?

I'M FEELIN' LIKE A WINNER.

I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GONNA MAKE SOME MONEY

FOR OUR WONDERFUL CHARITY.

BEEN DOIN' A LOT OF THINKING.

GOOD-- THINKING IS WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE SAYING "GOOD" NOW-- WAIT UNTIL I GET STARTED.

OKAY, WHAT IS-WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT?

I'M MEETING AGAIN WITH MY BIOGRAPHER,

MICHELLE BUFORD,

TO GO OVER SOME MORE DETAILS THE BOOK.

BUT, THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT,

AND MICHELLE IS GOING TO HAVE TO HELP ME THROUGH

EVERY STEP OF THIS ENDEAVOR.

I'LL LET YOU RECORD ME-- I'M READY.

- OKAY, OKAY, YES. - I'M READY.

YOU READY-- ARE YOU READY?

I AM READY TO PUT THE MICROPHONE IN FRONT OF ME.

I'LL JUST TURN THAT ON-- OKAY, OKAY.

WELL, YOU KNOW, WHEN I LOOK UP MY NAME--

WHY YOU DOIN' THAT?

DON'T DO THAT, OKAY?

BECAUSE I WANNA KNOW WHAT THE CONSENSUS ARE.

HOW-HOW-HOW HAVE THEY ITEMIZED ME?

- OKAY. - "TONI, COMMA, LUPUS."

OKAY.

- "TONI BRAXTON, AUTISM." - OKAY.

I DID NOT SEE "TONI BRAXTON, BANKRUPT."

I WAS WAITING FOR THE 'B' WORD.

- I DID NOT SEE IT. - OKAY.

SO, I'M PULLING IT UP AGAIN, SO I CAN SEE.

BUT I WAS LIKE, "HMM, IS THAT GOOD?"

YEAH.

MAYBE I DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE BANKRUPTCY?

I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS.

- THAT DOESN'T MEAN-- - NO, I WOULD NOT--

THAT IS NOT THE INTERPRETATION I'VE COME UP WITH.

- REALLY? - NO.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO TELL THE STORY.

I HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT I DID

TO CONTRIBUTE TO MY BANKRUPTCY,

BUT I ALSO GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT

HOW I GOT TO THE BANKRUPTCY STATE,

AND THAT PART'S NOT SO MUCH ME.

I GET EMBARRASSED THAT PEOPLE LOOK AT ME

AS A TYPICAL ARTIST-- - MMM-HMM.

WHO HAD, LOST, HAD AND LOST AGAIN.

DO YOU HAVE THINGS, UH, THAT YOU WOULD CALL

YOUR BIGGEST REGRETS?

OR, DO YOU-YOU

CHARACTERIZE IT DIFFERENTLY? - OOH, I HATE TO SAY THIS

BECAUSE IT'S A NEGATIVE AND A POSITIVE,

BUT I'M GONNA SAY IT. - OKAY-- OKAY, GO AHEAD.

MY BIGGEST REGRET IS "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES."

WOW-- WOW.

IT IS NOT FOR REASONS THAT PEOPLE THINK.

OKAY, OKAY.

NOT THE SHOW ITSELF, BUT THE REASON THAT LED TO IT.

YEAH, THE SHOW-THE SHOW HAS BEEN GREAT.

I MEAN, AND TAMAR AND MY SISTERS WERE RIGHT.

IT WAS A PLATFORM FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT THE BANKRUPTCY

AND LET PEOPLE LOOK AT ME,

AS OPPOSED TO WHAT THE TABLOIDS WERE SAYING.

SO THAT HELPED. - EXACTLY.

SO, PEOPLE ARE LIKE, "OKAY, SHE DID IT FOR THE MONEY.

"SHE MUST'VE BEEN REALLY BROKE

"'CAUSE SHE HAD TO DO A REALITY SHOW."

NO-- WELL, I WAS BROKE, BUT...

BUT I WOULD'VE DEFINITELY MADE MORE MONEY

IF I'D GONE ON TOUR.

I'M THE OLDEST, SO I'VE BEEN TAUGHT,

"IF ONE GOT, ALL GOT." - RIGHT.

I'VE ALWAYS FELT BAD THAT I WAS THE ONE THAT WAS CHOSEN.

OKAY.

I'VE SAID, IN THE PAST, THAT I DID THE SHOW,

"BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES," TO HELP MY FAMILY,

AND THERE'S SOME TRUTH TO THAT.

IT WAS TAMAR WHO CAME UP TO ME AND SAID,

"TONI, I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A SHOW.

"WE SHOULD ALL DO A REALITY SHOW,"

AND I DID NOT WANNA DO IT.

BUT, MY SISTERS ARE SO TALENTED.

THEY JUST NEEDED A LAUNCHING PAD,

AND "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES" IS A GREAT WAY TO DO THAT.

THE-THE WORLD GOT TO SEE THEIR TALENT.

WOULD YOU SAY THAT, UH, THERE'S A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE

THAT'S BEEN THE GREATEST JOY?

OTHER THAN MY CHILDREN, AND THIS IS A TRUE STORY.

WHEN I WON MY FIRST SOUL TRAIN AWARD.

WHAT?

THE SOUL TRAIN AWARD WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL TO ME

BECAUSE THAT'S THE SHOW THAT I SAW, AS A KID.

THAT'S THE SHOW I WANTED TO BE ON WHEN I GREW UP.

I THOUGHT, WHOEVER WAS ON "SOUL TRAIN," MADE IT.

I'M LIKE ANITA BAKER.

I'M LIKE WHITNEY HOUSTON.

SOUL TRAIN AWARDS IS THE HIGH MARK.

YES, I DON'T THINK MADONNA HAD A SOUL TRAIN AWARD.

- I BET SHE DIDN'T. - I WAS VERY HAPPY.

I BET SHE DIDN'T.

THAT-THAT WAS A BIG DEAL FOR ME,

TO WIN THAT AWARD. - OKAY.

I CHERISH THAT AWARD, TO THIS DAY.

THE SOUL TRAIN AWARD, AND HERE WE ARE...

MY SISTER, TAMAR, IS UP FOR FIVE THIS YEAR,

AND I HOPE IT MEANS AS MUCH TO HER AS IT DID TO ME,

AND I KNOW IT DOES,

'CAUSE IT-IT WILL BE HER FIRST AWARD.

YES, IT WAS MY FIRST AWARD.

SO, THIS IS FAMILY HISTORY.

THIS-THIS IS HOT-- THIS IS HOT.

WELL, WE'LL LEAVE IT THERE FOR TODAY.

OKAY, NOW, I FEEL ALL HEAVY.

- YOU DO? - I DO FEEL A LITTLE HEAVY.

IS THAT NORMAL? - IT'S NORMAL.

IT'S NORMAL-- YEAH, YEAH. - OKAY.

WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE FIRST SESSION.

THIS WILL FEEL A LITTLE BIT LIKE THERAPY.

SO-- - A LITTLE?

A LOT?

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

IT'S SO DON DRAPER OF ME, RIGHT NOW.

I'M SO "MAD MAN." - OOH!

I'M DRINKIN' EARLY IN THE MORNIN'.

WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT-- WE'RE GONNA STOP HERE.

AND WE WOULD'VE TAKEN HOME $65,000.

KEVIN'S ALMOST OUT THE HOUSE.

IT'S LIKE IT'S NEVER-- I MEAN, KEVIN'S NEVER HOME.

ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BIG KEVIN OR LITTLE KEVIN?

- JUNIOR. - OKAY.

- HE'S NEVER HOME. - YOU-YOU GOTTA SAY, "JUNIOR."

YOU CAN'T JUST SAY, "KEVIN." - I KNOW.

HE GOT HIS LITTLE, PISSY CAR.

GOT A LITTLE, PISSY JOB.

THAT BOY AIN'T NEVER HOME-- HE AT SCHOOL.

HE AIN'T NEVER HOME-- I LIKE IT.

WHAT WAS WE TALKIN' ABOUT?

OKAY, I'M GONNA TRANSLATE.

- OKAY, PLEASE. - REALLY?

SO, LITTLE KEVIN,

BECAUSE HE HAS A JOB AND A CAR,

AND HE STILL GOES TO SCHOOL AND HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND,

HE'S HARDLY EVER HOME. - WE'RE GREAT-- WE'RE GREAT.

SO, THAT GIVES TRACI AND BIG KEVIN

MORE TIME TO SPEND TOGETHER,

AND IT'S LIKE THEY'RE ON A SECOND HONEYMOON.

- LIKE-- - THEY'RE PLAYING FOOTBALL.

IT'S GOOD-- OH, IT'S REAL GOOD!

I SWEAR, IT'S LIKE TRACI WAS JUST TALKIN' GERMAN,

JUST THERE, 'CAUSE I WAS JUST LIKE, "WHAT?"

IT IS... SO GOOD RIGHT NOW.

SHUT UP, TRACI.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME TO SIT DOWN

IN MY CHAIR FIRST.

I WANNA SIT IN THE CHAIR.

I THINK I SHOULD SIT DOWN FIRST.

- I'M GONNA SIT IN THE CHAIR! - TOWANDA, WHATEVER.

THAT-- NO.

I REALLY WANT TRACI AND TRINA TO GO FIRST.

THAT'S MY STRATEGY.

TRINA AND TRACI FIRST, AND THEN PULL ME OUT LATER.

I'M THE TRUMP CARD.

WE CAN DO ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS.

I'M-I'M TELLING YOU GUYS, RIGHT NOW.

I'M SITTIN' IN THE CHAIR. - I'M SITTIN' IN THE CHAIR.

TRINA, YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ANYBODY.

I WANNA SIT IN THE AUDIENCE FIRST.

SO, THAT WAY, IF ONE OF THE SISTERS

IS NOT ANSWERING ALL THE QUESTIONS PROPERLY,

THEN I CAN GET UP AND SAVE EVERYBODY.

SO, THAT'S MY STRATEGY.

I SAID IT BEFORE YOU DID. - NO, MA'AM.

TRACI SAID IT BEFORE I DID,

BUT I SAID IT BEFORE YOU DID.

BUT, THAT MEANS TRACI CAN SIT IN THE CHAIR.

- NO. - YES.

- NO, TRACI, NO. - SHE SAID IT FIRST!

THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, THOUGH.

- YES, IT DOES. - TRACI'S SITTIN' IN THE CHAIR.

I KNOW MY SISTERS.

THEY'LL BE FRUSTRATED WITH ME AND MAKE ME SIT DOWN ANYWAY.

SO, I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE ME SIT DOWN FIRST.

I'M GONNA SIT IN THE CHAIR.

YOU'RE GONNA STAY UP WITH THERE WITH TRACI.

AND THEN, 'CAUSE YOU'RE GONNA GET FRUSTRATED ANYWAY.

SO--

YOU GET FRUSTRATED MORE THAN I DO.

NO, I'M NOT, BUT NO.

AND THEN, YOU-- - WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "BUT NO?"

BUT YOU GET MORE FRUSTRATED THAN I DO.

YOU SHOW YOURS MORE THAN I DO.

OKAY, BUT WHAT IF THEY HAVE SPORTS QUESTIONS

IN THE BEGINNING AND STUFF?

WE'RE GONNA LOSE. - TRACI KNOWS SPORTS.

- I'M SITTING, THE FIRST. - YOU SURE?

- I'M GONNA SIT FIRST. - I SAID, "FIRST."

THE PRODUCER, KWAMI, HE'S STUCK IN THE MIDDLE,

WHICH IS MAKING ME FEEL EVEN WORSE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TRINA THINKS.

TRINA'S A LITTLE DITZY, JUST A LITTLE BIT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE WOULD WANNA THINK

OR BELIEVE THAT SHE'S A ACE.

♪ TRACI'S GONNA SIT IN THE CHAIR ♪

♪ TRINA'S GONNA SIT IN THE CHAIR ♪

♪ TRI-TRI'S GONNA SIT IN THE CHAIR ♪

♪ TRINA'S GONNA SIT IN THE CHAIR ♪

- IS IT TRINA? - THAT'S ME.

IS IT TRACI?

IS TOWANDA GONNA SIT IN THE CHAIR?

WHO'S GONNA SIT IN THE CHAIR?

- WHAT'S GOIN' ON IN HERE? - WELL, HI!

- LOOK AT YOU! - ALL RIGHT.

WHAT'S UP?

Y'ALL LOOK NICE. - WHOA!

I KNOW CEDRIC FROM BEING IN HIS TELEVISION SHOW,

"SOUL MAN," ALONG WITH MY BABY SISTER, TAMAR.

AND I HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT HE IS A TEQUILA MAN,

SO I AM MAKING HIM A DRINK THIS MORNING.

THAT'S REFRESHING-- THAT'S A REFRESHER.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE-- YES.

THIS IS SO DON DRAPER OF ME, RIGHT NOW.

I'M SO "MAD MAN." - OOH!

I'M JUST DRINKIN'-- NOBODY'S DRINKIN' WITH ME?

WE WANNA ANSWER THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY, THOUGH.

THIS IS GONNA GET YOU RIGHT.

THIS IS GET RIGHT-- - "GET RIGHT" JUICE.

JUST A SMALL-A SMALL SMIDGE FOR YOU GUYS.

- YEAH, JUST A LITTLE TASTE. - YOUR EQUILIBRIUM, YES.

SOMETHIN' LIGHT.

AND I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY SMART OF US TO HAVE A DRINK

BEFORE WE DO THE GAME SHOW BECAUSE IT'S RELAXING.

SALUD.

CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK- CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK.

I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE REALLY INTERESTED

TO SEE HOW THESE SHOWS GO TODAY.

Y'ALL GIVE IT UP FOR TRINA, TOWANDA, AND TRACI!

LET 'EM HEAR IT.

HERE WE GO-- IT'S SHOWTIME,

AND I AM SUPER-DUPER EXCITED.

I KNOW WE CAN SHOW THE WORLD HOW SMART WE ARE,

AND WIN SOME MAJOR MONEY FOR THE CHARITY.

TWO OF YOU ARE GONNA PLAY AT A TIME,

AND ONE OF YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO SIT IN THE SUPPORTING STOOL.

Y'ALL TALK IT OVER.

I THINK TRINA SHOULD SIT FIRST.

- LET'S GIVE HER A SEAT. - YOU'RE GONNA SIT DOWN.

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S TRACI OR TRINA

WHO SITS IN THE CHAIR,

BECAUSE I'M GOING TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO ALL THE QUESTIONS,

OF COURSE.

I KNOW I SAID I WAS GONNA PULL BACK.

HOWEVER, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS, OKAY?

LET'S PLAY "MILLIONAIRE!"

"BRIGHT PINK, SLIMY, AND EIGHT INCHES LONG"...

SLIMY.

"A NEW SPECIES OF WHAT WAS DISCOVERED

"ON AUSTRALIA'S MOUNT KAPUTAR IN 2013?"

"C"-- FINAL ANSWER.

YOU'RE RIGHT!

YEAH!

- "WHO WORE IT BEST? " - CORRECT!

THAT IS THE RIGHT ANSWER.

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!

TOWANDA IS ON A ROLL.

I JUST KNOW WE ARE GONNA WIN THAT MILLION DOLLARS.

WE'RE THE BRAXTON SISTERS-- WE GOT THIS.

OH, MY GOODNESS.

I THINK I WANNA SWITCH A SISTER.

UH-UH-- I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.

TOWANDA DIDN'T EVEN DISCUSS USING THE LIFELINE WITH US.

SHE JUST BLURTED IT OUT.

WHO DOES THAT?

- TRINA, COME UP. - COME ON, TRINA.

SWITCH THE SISTERS.

- WE SHOULD ASK THE AUDIENCE. - OKAY.

I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T KNOW, WHEN YOU SWITCHED.

WHY'D I CALL YOU UP HERE?

I HAVE TO SAY THAT I TRUST THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW,

MORE THAN I TRUST MY SISTERS.

- OKAY. - SO, I'M GONNA SAY,

"FINAL ANSWER."

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT RAPPERS AND TV SHOWS.

IF WE GET THIS WRONG, IT'S ALL ON HER.

COMING UP, ON "BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES"...

H-H-H-HOLD UP.

WHY ARE WE EVEN HAVING THIS CONVERSATION?

I HAVE TO SAY THAT

I TRUST THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW MORE THAN I TRUST MY SISTERS.

- OKAY. - SO, I'M GONNA SAY,

"FINAL ANSWER."

YOU'RE GONNA GO WITH THE AUDIENCE,

'CAUSE THEY ARE RIGHT!

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOIN'.

WE ARE WINNING, GUYS!

WELL, SINCE YOU'RE PLAYING FOR CHARITY,

WE ARE GONNA LET ALL THREE OF Y'ALL PLAY.

WE'RE GONNA LET YOUR SISTER COME ON UP HERE.

IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL CAUSE.

OH, OH, OH. - OH, OH, OH, OH, OH!

HALLELUJAH!

FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST!

- ALL RIGHT, LADIES. - YES.

ALL RIGHT, LADIES, WHERE IS YOUR HORNY LAYER?

"A." - "A," FINAL ANSWER.

THE ANSWER WAS "B"-- YOU MISSED IT, YOU GUYS.

YOU ARE GONNA WALK OUTTA HERE

WITH $25,000. - NO, NO, NO, NO!

NO-- TOWANDA, NO!

I SUGGESTED EARTH'S CRUST,

BUT I DIDN'T SAY THAT WAS MY FINAL ANSWER.

I CANNOT BELIEVE WE LOST ALL OF THAT MONEY.

NO!

I WAS GONNA SAY-- - NO, YOU WEREN'T.

NO, YOU WEREN'T.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO NO!

I DID NOT KNOW THAT TRINA WAS UNCERTAIN ABOUT THAT ANSWER.

I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID, "FINAL ANSWER."

YOU SAID, "CRUST."

YOU SAID IT WAS CRUST, TOO.

I WAS JUST LISTENING TO YOU.

I WAS GONNA SAY-- - NO, YOU WEREN'T.

I WAS GONNA SAY, "HEY, WE'RE NOT GONNA DO IT.

"WE'RE GONNA STOP HERE."

AND WE WOULD'VE TAKEN HOME $65,000

FOR "SAVING OUR DAUGHTERS."

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SAID, "FINAL ANSWER."

- DON'T TALK TO ME, TRINA. - YOU SAID IT.

OH, THAT'S COLD-BLOODED.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE MAD AT ME,

WHEN YOU DID IT. - ARE WE FINISHED?

OH, BYE, AUDIENCE-- THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BRAXTON SISTERS!

YOU WERE THE FALL GUY ON THIS ONE

ALL BY YOURSELF, TOWANDA.

DON'T SAY, "OH, TRINA, OH, MY GOD.

"SHE WAS JUST SO EMPHATIC."

NO-NO-NO, YOU WERE WRONG-- FACE IT.

I'M SITTIN' RIGHT IN BETWEEN MY SISTERS.

I NEED TO EAT MY FEELINGS RIGHT NOW,

BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THAT THE SHOW ENDED.

I DIDN'T WIN ALL THE MONEY THAT I WANTED TO.

IT WAS HORRIBLE!

SHADES OF SHAME.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WEAR THE SHADES OF SHAME?

I DO-- WE EACH HAVE TO TAKE TURNS TRYING THEM ON.

NO, YOU WEAR THEM FOR A MINUTE.

ALL I KNOW IS,

TRINA WAS VERY SURE OF THE LAST ANSWER.

WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO BLAME ME FOR YOU SAYING,

"FINAL ANSWER." - I'M NOT BLAMIN' YOU.

I'M NOT BLAMIN' YOU.

I'M JUST KINDA SHIFTING THE RESPONSIBILITY ONTO YOU.

AND, WHEN YOU SAID, "IT'S 'A'."

THE-THE WORDS WERE, "I AGREE."

I'M NOT GONNA EMBARRASS YOU ON TV.

TRINA WAS SO, LIKE, SHE JUST KNEW THE ANSWER.

"OH, I KNOW THE ANSWER-- THE ANSWER IS THIS.

"IT'S EARTH'S CORE.

"IT'S THE EARTH'S LAYER.

"IT'S THIS."

SHE WAS SO SURE.

SO, AND I BELIEVE IN MY SISTER,

AS I SHOULD, 'CAUSE SHE'S MY SISTER.

I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS GONNA BE WRONG.

I REFUSE TO WEAR THESE SHADES OF SHAME ANYMORE

BECAUSE I DID NOT GET THE LAST QUESTION WRONG BY MYSELF.

WE HAVE TO SHARE-- WE'RE GONNA PUT IT RIGHT THERE

'CAUSE WE HAVE TO SHARE THE SHAME.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHY.

'CAUSE YOU WERE EMPHATIC ABOUT "FINAL ANSWER."

I MEAN, YOU JUST SAID IT.

WE DID NOT DELIBERATE.

IT WAS $100,000.

YOU ALWAYS DELIBERATE ON $100,000.

TOWANDA'S A SORE LOSER.

SHE SAID THE FINAL ANSWER, NOT ME.

SO, TOWANDA, BE UPSET WITH YOURSELF.

I CAN'T HELP 'CAUSE YOU SAW PINK POLKA DOT BUTTERFLIES.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

WHILE YOU WERE SITTING IN A CHAIR, DECIDING.

BUT WE DID WIN SOMETHIN' FOR THE--

WAIT A MINUTE-- WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN', TRACI.

YOUR SISTER, RIGHT HERE,

THE ONE WHO CANNOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OF LOSING AT ALL,

THE ONE WHO HATES TO LOSE,

TOWANDA IS-IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY

FOR THE LOSERIZATION-- - THAT-THAT'S NOT TRUE.

IN SAYING THAT, "HELLO, TRINA, WERE YOU SURE?"

DID NOT ASK ME THAT. - WHAT DID I SAY TO YOU?

- THAT YOU AGREE. - WHERE IS YOUR HORNY LAYER?

"A." - "A," FINAL ANSWER.

AND THAT'S ALL I SAID, - NO, WE WERE SITTING THERE,

DELIBERATING ABOUT IT.

YOU SAID-- - BUT, I THOUGHT YOU SAID--

WAIT A MINUTE-- H-H-H-HOLD UP, HOLD UP.

YOU SAID, "TRINA, ARE YOU SURE?"

FIRST, YOU SAID WE DIDN'T DELIBERATE, NOW.

WAIT, WAIT-- OKAY, WELL, LET ME CLARIFY.

- GO AHEAD. - LET ME CLARIFY.

REALLY-- YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE CUPS?

REALLY-- YOU REALLY HAVE TO MOVE 'EM?

YOU KNOW WHAT-- WHY ARE WE EVEN HAVING THIS CONVERSATION?

'CAUSE I'M NOT EVEN GETTING IN IT WITH TOWANDA,

BECAUSE TOWANDA SAID, "FINAL ANSWER,"

QUICK, FAST, IN A HURRY.

JIBBER-JABBER JAW.

I DON'T THINK TOWANDA WILL EVER FORGIVE TRINA

FOR LOSIN' A MILLION DOLLARS,

EVEN THOUGH, TOWANDA, YOU SAID, "FINAL ANSWER."

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID.

CAN WE REWIND THE TAPE?

SHE ON TAPE.

IT WAS COLLECTIVE.

JUST LIKE THE WINNINGS WAS COLLECTIVE,

THE LOSING WAS COLLECTIVE.

BUT WE DIDN'T LOSE-- WE WON.

IT WAS A WINNING DAY FOR "SAVING OUR DAUGHTERS."

I-I JUST WISH WE WOULD'VE WON MORE MONEY.

OKAY, I HATE TO SAY THIS, BUT, TRINA, YOU'RE RIGHT.

YES, I DID SAY, "TRINA, YOU'RE RIGHT."

YOU DO HAVE A POINT.

WE DID NOT LOSE

BECAUSE WE DID RAISE MONEY FOR OUR CHARITY.

I THINK WE NEED TO BE ON ANOTHER GAME SHOW.

I THINK SO, TO REDEEM OUR WINNINGS.

YEAH.

TO WINNING-- YAY!

- TO WINNING. - TO WINNING.

CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CL ANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK.

SIP.
