Episode Eight – Transition In Action
December 30th, 2008What is going on good people? Wow, another exciting episode from America’s favorite family. So let’s start this thing off on the right note. Keyshia is all about branching off and becoming an outlet to help others start their career. We see her in the studio with her cousin and artist Amina knocking out tracks for her upcoming album. Keyshia enlists the likes of Jazzy Phae for some production. Hey it doesn’t hurt to have a cousin with connections that’s for sure.
Neffe and Frankie are always working on their relationship. The question is will they ever get it right? The two make another trip to see Dr. Wilson for more counseling. Neffe’s beef is that she wants her mom to have better men in her life. Frankie tells Dr. Wilson and Neffe that young cats like ‘Zo’ made her feel good and all about herself. Frankie does get that she needs men her age right now in her life and she recites her list of qualities the man should have. Neffe is elated to her the progress her Mom has made and starts acting a fool on table. Okay, Neffe that was a little too much there shorty.
Keyshia is done with her album and is ready to take the family off to Water World. The entire crew including R&B star Monica head off to the waves. Keyshia looks mighty fine in her bikini! She tells Frankie she needs to hope in one too. Frankie is not trying to hear any of that noise but with a little coercion from Keyshia she gets in one. The family all goes to the 50 ft. incline slide but no one wants to go down it. Frankie of course takes the leap and goes down the slide at the age of 50! Holla!
Neffe is starting to come to terms with her life and visits Bishop Eddie Long for his guidance. He prays for her and lets her know that things are going to be alright for her and her family! It’s good to see Neffe getting some solace in her life. Now all she needs to do is stop crying so much and wiggling on tables in public.
Well that is that for the latest episode on Keyshia Cole! Make sure to watch again on Tuesday night at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT). Until then this is Stretch’s Unofficial Guide to Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is Season 3!

I Wish the best in life for the whole famliy.They make me cry every season, just to see them grow together as a famliy. Keep up everything. Can’t wait until Neffe’s book comes out I will support you guys in everything that your famliy does. KEEP YOUR HEADS UP!
I’m with Lola. You are right. What a bunch of ghetto losers.
hey Keyshia Cole i’m so thrilled to watch your shows they bring out your personality and the way you feel i love you so much that when i watch your t.v shows’ I say to myself i wish i could meet her and her family and please tell your mom i said holla and mandown and neffe realy has some beutiful children my name is tyra and i’m 11 years old and i live in Birmingham ,Alabama I love you Keyshia cole you mean so much to me
hey, I really luv this show and enjoy watching it every week. Keyshia has truly grown and I luv that she isn’t there when the real drama pops off. I have to agree with some of the other comments, though, I am worried about Neffe, or at least concerned that she still seems to need a man. Her baby isn’t even a year old and she suddenly has a fiance…who’s into music. I am not the one to judge, so I’ll opt to pray that he is true. But I so wish these women would concentrate on their own lives, their relationships with each other, heal first, and then find the men.
Oh and can someone tell me why was Neffe’s man in therapy with her and her mom?
I agree w Jessica.
Is Neffe even divorced from ’s father?
I hope it is a long engagement. I thought Neffe was smart but this seems rushed. I know the shows doesnt show everything but Neffe just moved to Atl last year so in just 1 yr she thinks she is ready 4 marriage?
& BET is Neffe still working @ the toll booth? Or is Keyshia paying all her bills, her 3 kids bills, & now prlly Solo’s bills? Plus Elite & her kids is livin in KC’s house, Sam is livin there, Duwanna is livin there….KC dont go broke!
In my above comment I meant:
Is Neffe even divorced from Ciara’s father?
Also
…. does Neffe work?
In s2 finale she was hired as a toll booth worker but she was pregnant so I doubt she really took the job.
….3rd is this BET show her income?
…4th how long has she know Solo?
….5th HOW STUPID IS SHE TO TATOO HIS NAME ON HER AM SO BIG?
Neffe is gonna regret that. Next season she’ll be asking KC for the $1000 2 have the tatoo removed!

I am not a regular viewer, but I tune in from time to time. I saw the last three episodes, including the finale, and I have to say that I agree with many, in that this does not paint Keisha in a very favorable light. I recall the first season when they were at the correctional facility, and things started with a direction and a purpose for Frankie and Neffe. There was a reason for them to be doing this. As a show like this progresses, there should be a comparable progression amongst the participants. For Keisha it’s a given; so it would seem that there would be a somewhat positive and credible movement with the family. Instead they’ve become ghetto divas. Their behavior is embarrassing to say the least. Each season Neffe and Frankie have just gotten worse. The histrionics, the men, the tantrums. Frankie was a joke last night going into a college saying she wanted to be a vet, and then acting the way she did. The idea was preposterous to begin with. Neffe has a “stylist”? For what? She ought to have a JOB! Where did her “fiancé” come from? Where does HE work (cause that ring was not cheap)? Who paid for that? Club Asia paid homage to Neffe for her b-day? A high-end club like that? She’s not Paris Hilton! This all shows how you pick yourself up from a bad situation. Get out of prison and a bad marriage, and go mooch off your rich relative. Out of all these episodes they showed 5 minutes of Neffe going for a job interview – for a job she obviously never worked, and 5 minutes of Frankie making a fool of herself at a college – ending with the decision that she’ll bypass everything and just run a business. Neffe writes a book? Frankie has a different “boy” (and a different weave) from scene to scene. Frankie says of her bought and paid for condo “it’s alright”. They are ingrates not being held accountable for themselves. At this rate they’ll never get their act together. Why should they? Keisha Cole has shown herself to be a very responsible, level-headed, respectable person, but she is enabling her relatives to continue to be nothing more than the hangers-on that they’ve become. This is not drama, this is trifling and embarrassing – especially for someone of Keisha’s caliber. She’s not pulling them up – they’re pulling here down
What in the heck does Frankie, Nefe & the rest of the family do besides ride off Keyshia’s fame? Unfortunately, Keyshia is going to have to learn the hard way that being the bread winner for a family of grown folks is going to cause her to lose everything she worked for. These people need to get off their a$$es & get themselves jobs. Wanting to share your fame with your family is a beautiful thing but I can’t help but think that they’re all sitting back enjoying it a little too much. I wish Nefe & Soulo the best; however I am thinking he’s in it only for the fame too, just like Frankie’s youngsta boyfriend. So sad.
I love Neffie! You share the real u with us and that is so cool. How many times have I felt like you did in that elevator in the church but didn’t feel safe enough or comfortable enough to show it? I can’t tell you! Keep being u! Yes, I’m serious
Get this show off the air please.
Billie Holiday singing
“Money, you’ve got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you’re gone, spending ends
They don’t come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don’t take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that’s got his own
That’s got his own”
Your family needs to back up!!
OMG NEFFE IF JAYLENS FATHER WANTS TO GO AROUND ACTING LIKE AN ******* LET HIM BEACUSE JAYLEN HAS A FAMILY WHO LOVES HIM AND IF JAYLENS FATHER IS SUCH A BAD MAN TURNING 33 STILL LIVING WITH HIS MAMA MOVE ON AND LET HIM GO TRUST THEIR R ENOUGH MEN IN JAYLENS LIFE TO JUST PASS UP ONE WHO AINT GIVING U NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS TRUST AND BELIEVE THAT KEVIN AINT DOING U KNOW GOOD NEFFE U AND YOUR FAMILY R DOING A WONEDERFUL JOB RAISIN HIM AND KNOW SOLO IS THERE TO HELP FROM WHAT WE C ON TV YOUR 3 GIRLS LOVE HIM SO IF THERE HAPPY JAYLEN WILL B TO SOMEDAY THE TRUTH I SPAEK THIS IS ONE OF THE REALEST COMMENTS U WILL EVER GET
The only question I have about the show is I thought it was called “Keyshia Cole, The way it Is”? I didn’t know that the show suddenly turned into Neffe’s and Frankie’s life story. I am very happy for Neffe and her life getting better, however, it behoves me that BET has shown so much of her life and Frankies life. I enjoy watching their progression but this season I was disappointed that the focus of the show suddenly turned to “Neffe and Frankie”. While it is great that they are moving forward and it has also been nice to see that you can change your life for the better, it is disappointing that I see no progression in their lives to stand on their own two feet. It is positive that Neffe wrote a book, however, when did she have time to write it? I also wonder about people who come into your life and hold on to you while you have something. Her stylish “Dariel” is a joke. He is with her so he can become famous in Hollywood and in my opinion, I say my opinion, he needs more help because some of the hair styles are either outdated, not for her or just a hot mess in general. I am not a hater just wondering how BET could continue putting so much emphasis on Neffe and Frankie. I enjoyed the first season and the second because we got to know Keyshia Cole for who she is as a person. I think next season should focus more on Keyshia Cole and her career as it did the past two seasons and less focus on Frankie and Neffe.
i agree with Tarsha…this season…was most disapointing…i’m happy that fankie and neffe are getting their lives together…but its all because of keyshia…and when is this book of neffe’s supposed to be comming out? and frankie…is too old trying to be young…she needs to tone down all the getto stuff….also i didn’t apreciate neffe with her comments or public school…she came off like her daughter was too good 4 public school, i understand she wants the best for her…but in my mind where is all this money comming from??? if your sister wasn’t who she was would you really be spouting all of this nonsense…the last thing i have to say is neffe in that dress in vegas…she look a HOT MESS!!!!
I have to agree with the public school comment. I thought Neffe and even Frankie’s thinking on this was really ignorant. Didn’t Neffe just move into a home…that she had a thousand people over every week?
And someone please correct me if I’m wrong but don’t most parents buy homes in good areas, with good school systems so that their children can go to the public school?
