I cannot express enough how excited we are. We are so happy to be leaving Atlanta for a week! Who gets a chance to take trips out of the country in the middle of the semester? Us, of course. We always need a change of scenery just to see what will happen next. I can’t believe how everyone reacted about last episode’s drama. However, there is still all that tension in the house. Ashley L. explains to her sis that “Drew started popping off at the mouth.” This was very funny, considering she started breaking him down first and gave him no choice but to get crunk!

It didn’t look like Drew was doing a lot of talking to me; it looked as if he was ready for some action. In fact, he’s still looking like he’s ready to fight one of the girls because he’s walking around the house looking all crazy, taking shots in the kitchen, staring out of the window like something is seriously on his mind. I had to sit him down and put him up on game and let him know to chill out. If Drew does anything to one of these females, he will be in the wrong. No matter what, if a guy hits a female, it’s all over. Out of all the females, I figured I would be kind enough to sit him down and have a sensible conversation because our relationship is not sour. I sometimes feel for Drew. He’s not a bad guy; he’s just … well, I haven’t quite figured it out yet, but he just needs guidance at times. In fact, we all do. I will tell you one thing: There is no need to bring these issues to London. London is one of the fashion capitals, so I’m ready to go enjoy myself and, perhaps, meet some English men!

All about Drew again? First there’s a problem when Drew gets a little too close to Dorion’s girlfriend, Michaela. Yes, I said girlfriend!

Now, there’s a problem when Ashley L. invites the whole – and I do mean the whole – family tree to our mansion. Ashley L. is very close with her family, and being away from them is driving her crazy. While shooting reality TV, there’s no seeing your mom, dad, sisters, pets, or brother on his 18th birthday. It’s just all about your housemates. Now Drew and Ashley L., already have had some run-ins, so there is no introducing mom to him today. However, Drew still sticks around her guests and makes nasty gestures on the telephone while her family is in the room. Things are definitely heating up this time!

Later that day we go out to eat to a very nice restaurant. We are sitting at the table and it’s a very dull moment. No one is saying anything. It’s very awkward. So Dorion and I try to get the party started by cracking jokes. Still no one says a word. So Dorion says, “Drew rap.” Oh no. All hell broke loose then. Everyone speaks up. You already know how we feel about that. Now this is the perfect time for Ashley L. to let Drew have it. She starts saying how dumb he is; he’s broke, and of course, has no standards. Drew is angry now and calls Ashley L. the “B” word, and Sira jumps in. Drew jumps across the table at both of them! “Put the knives away,” is all I kept thinking. Now all this yelling in this fancy restaurant, so many White ladies were peeking at the door. They have to calm down!

Now, I don’t know who was actually wrong for this round; it was actually too close to call. What do you think?

Serving the community is very important to my housemates and me. The Ludacris foundation has set up a project for us to teach children how to cook. When we arrive at the recreation center, we are each given a group of kids to work with. Now the problem is Dennis has been assigned a group, and he is nowhere to be found. Now we all went to class earlier and made a special point to be back for the kids. Miss Roberta, Ludacris’ mom, has been very strict on us in making sure that we get things right. We wanted to make her proud, but Dennis is not being a team player! Where could he be? I’m thinking somewhere on campus hanging around with his friends or even kickin’ it with the wrong girlfriend. School is definitely a time for us to get away from each other, but why would he not make it a special point to participate in community service? First Drew, now Dennis. These guys are getting way too irresponsible. I must admit Drew did do his thing with the kids and whipping out those recipes. However, my group won for having the best entree! I don’t even know how to cook! LOL.

Back to the house. Drew turns it all the way up when he brings another female to the house and takes her to the bed! I don’t know how Drew is doing it but he is definitely lining em’ up and knockin em’ down!! Ashley R. agrees with Dorion about him not wanting to sleep in the same room with Drew and his guests because there might be a funk coming from his side of the room. “Do you smell that?” Now Drew’s lyrics are working in his favor!! The drama never stops. Boy, this ATL cast is off the chain!!!

An unexpected visit from the ATL’s own Ludacris surely brightens things up! The ladies are excited, and the guys are … well, Drew is shocked that one of his rap idols has come through our door! He’s nearly in tears with a look of confusion on his face. He doesn’t know what to do first: give Luda a CD or perform a full-out concert right there in the living room. Well Drew, I guess it will be OK to perform your best now, with all the practicing you’ve been doing in the back yard for the trees and the birds. Boy, I mean Drew will start rapping his music anywhere and doesn’t care who is around. He will make you listen. This is all he thinks about. He is dedicated to his lyrics and is sooo overly confident! The roommates are sick of Drew and his rapping, but the lines are too funny! “Let me see your booty talk” … “I’m a Nympho” – and that’s only two. Now it’s time to hang with the real rapper, Luda.

Luda takes us on a night out in the A, with exclusive VIP treatment. We are around some huge hip-hop celebs during this “BET Hip Hop Awards” weekend. It was fun, but should have been more beneficial to Drew, who meets various artists but loses focus and hides in a corner with some chick! Do I see a little intimidation? However, she definitely got to check out his “nympho” qualities in the bed … with Dorion in the next bed!

Despite violent threats, we managed to make the most out of our North Carolina camping trip. We decide to return to the center the next day and go white water rafting. We split up into strong teams to face rapids. Of course, the best way to win would be to make the high and mighty girls go against the not-so-smart, sensitive guys! Of course, the girls win after conquering the most rapid slope in the raging river. When the guys attempt to go, Dorion falls in the water and takes Dennis with him. Now clearly they didn’t listen to the safety tutorial we had first because they both start screaming and panicking like crazy! OMG! As we watched from the shore, it was the funniest thing I had ever seen. Dorion nearly drowns in the water with his sunglasses on his face that do not even move.

Unfortunately, we already had enough drama on this camping trip, and I thought everyone pretty much bonded, but when we return to the house, everything goes out the window.

Ashley L. and Anthony get into the biggest argument about how each of them makes their money. So Ashley L.’s go go dancing job may be a little risky but by no means is she a stripper. She just likes to entertain in strange looking outfits! But Anthony on the other hand does have a promotions company that throws some hot college parties in the ATL. However, he still manages to still have time to serve hot butter biscuits and lobster tails! I mean, we can’t be broke out here. So I guess I can’t blame either one for hustling. Of course, Ashley L. starts this argument and later feels that she was somewhat wrong. She apologizes, and it’s a wrap! Anthony switches his focus to Sira who indirectly flirts with him because of his known confessions! Something’s bound to happen among these two! And did I forget Ashley L. and Dennis? So you got to keep watching as the attractions become ACTIONS!

Camping? What pretty girls and boys would ever think about going camping? The girls are told to leave the makeup and stilettos home because we are in for the time of our lives! Life in the great outdoors is very peaceful and can make you actually think about a whole lot. I know my roommates and I became really close after a heart-to-heart talk about our childhood traumas. I became open with an issue that many young girls in America are faced with and afraid to talk about. I can strongly say I am not a victim but a survivor!

Moving on from our tears we begin to share confessionals by the campfire.  Now I knew it was something up with Sira and Anthony, but he definitely makes it clear he’s been watching her when he says she is too much of a temptation. Sira loves it, because it’s obvious she has been thinking the same thing all this time. Now what? Is Anthony going to follow his temptation and cheat on his sweet girlfriend who he has been with for a while now?

However, this camping trip taught us many lessons. We learned that racism is not just a issue that is a part of our history. It still exists in our generation. When you live in the city of Atlanta which stood apart from segregation during the Civil Rights movement and one of the first cities to support integration, thanks to Martin Luther King Jr., you aren’t exposed to that type of treatment. Blacks are now becoming the dominant social and political force in the city and for the most part we are accepted as a race. Walking into that pub was the weirdest and most uncomfortable feeling I ever felt in my life. Being the only African Americans in the place the Caucasian guests gave us a look of filth and disgust. Boy, I can really say that this season of “College Hill” displays relevant social issues that all people are faced with in America!!

 
Dennis and Dorion enjoy the show.
The guys are really doing it BIG this time! The boys put the icing on the cake, with our cake and our money! They bring strippers to the house. Now that’s not really the issue because here in the ATL, strip clubs are a lot of fun for both girls and guys. It’s pretty common, and we understand that the guys want to have a little fun. But the problem is they don’t have any MONEY! These girls are expecting to get paid and the boys are basically… well I won’t say broke (shhh. They’ll get mad!!) You get the point when I say we’re all “college students,” not rappers! However, it comes down to the fact that they used our grocery money to pay the girls. Every time a dollar hits the ground, my girls and I are in another room thinking, “These ladies will be eating shrimp and steaks while we’re eating noodles and cereal the rest of the week.” Oh No. “We can’t make it rain, so how about some scattered showers.” These boys are only thinking about one moment of pleasure on some booties they can’t even get up on. They don’t think. So when we go out later that night, it’s already a problem.

We ladies are upset because we look too good not to be going anywhere because everyone doesn’t bring an ID. So we end up at this diner and the arguing starts, of course. It’s embarrassing because everyone in the restaurant is watching us, and we are in the upscale part of Atlanta, you know, where “those people” hang out. LOL. It gets crazy when Drew throws Ashley R.’s tampons on the restaurant table. I guess she thought he would be tactful enough to hold them in his pocket. Why she made that mistake, I don’t know. It’s on now – or not – ’cuz next week some sexual chemistry is brought to the campfire! Keep Watching!!

This week, we have unwanted guests in our house invading our personal space. These guests, disrespectful groupies who feel they are right at home, get a little “too comfortable” around guys who lack common sense. These girls are straight trippin’. They come in, don’t speak, drink and eat all our food, lay on our beds, and talk very loudly. Like it’s all about them! Come on, girls. We know you’re excited about being in our mansion and everything, and I guess you do have to “prove” yourself once you’re there! BUT CHILL OUT!

You know Sira and Ashley R. had to check that real quick! “The party is over. Get out and take the guys with you! PLEASE!

Drew apologizes for his company. I guess he is finally thinking with the right body part. However, Drew and Ashley L. haven’t gotten over their little confrontation because both are acting very uncomfortable around each other. It’s not good to hold grudges with women, Drew!

Now to another problem on our hands: Have I ever introduced Miss. Sira? We all know that she is originally from Guinea, west Africa. She is our Nubian Queen of the house. She won’t ever let you forget it. She sure did give me, Ashley L., and Dorion a CULTURE SHOCK after Dorion sang African songs in the living room. I know we are definitely proud of being African Americans, but sometimes I think Sira still lives in her native land. She is accustomed to giving orders, eating ranch and mayonnaise for breakfast, and talking fluently in so many different languages! She is so diverse, but I think she gets mad at us sometimes for not embracing her culture the way she wants us to. I can’t lie. I did find history class kind of boring, but Sira is not shy about giving a lesson! Don’t we love her? That’s Black Entertainment Television baby!

We’re moving into the house, and I can’t help but think, “Oh my God, this luxurious house is so colorful.” These fruity decorations couldn’t make you feel any other way but excited! We’re running through the house looking for our beds. Everyone is straight about their living arrangements except for Drew. He feels that our big mansion isn’t the only thing that’s fruity. He doesn’t feel comfortable sharing a room with Dorion, because he assumes Dorion is GAY!

Now, I can see why he thinks that, because Dorion is not a typical dude. He wears his pants fitted, accessorizes every outfit and sings the praises to the ladies all day. This is not the kind of guy Drew plans on sharing a room with because he is the exact opposite.  But, hey, he has to get over it real soon. What I can’t understand is why he is so uncomfortable? Does he question his own sexuality? Drew “says” he loves the ladies, and the 17-year-old groupies. However, Drew is saying something to everyone about his supposedly gay roommate, except for immediately approaching Dorion. Does that seem a little catty?

For some reason I can’t help but think that there are going to be some love connections. Who would it be? I already know that all of the ladies are sexy and free except Ashley R, who is one night away from being married. So fellas, that’s off limits! Drew tries to get things started with Ashley L., who shuts his dreams down real quick. We will eventually see how their relationship turns out… huh? 

What do you think?

What’s up, everybody? My name is Shavon, aka Shavonnie!” I am the ultimate Atlanta socialite, born and raised in the city of Atlanta. I am definitely the product of my environment. I am the country-talking, high-fashion, energetic, swagger-having, humorous girl of the house. I’ve always been known as the attention-getter! And it doesn’t stop with me because all of my housemates are exactly that.

We live under one roof and share one another’s space in the “crunkest” – and yeah I said “crunkest” – city of Atlanta. So you know there’s drama all over the place.
Oh, and the parties are definitely off the chain! The guys get groupie love, and the girls love themselves. So you have to tune in to see how we beautiful ladies maintain our territories and start the biggest battle of the sexes ever. I also can’t forget to add that we are exposed to many new obstacles and events that will take you “out of this world,” and I do mean that literally!

But you have to watch to know exactly what I’m talking about; so, tune in to “College Hill” Atlanta on Tuesday at 10 p.m. (ET/PT).
