VH1’s reality show “What Chilli Wants,” which features TLC’s Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas seeking a man, has gotten a second season nod.
The show averaged 1.3 million viewers in its freshman year on Sunday nights, a good figure for VH1. It was a consistent performer the past few weeks, though it drooped a bit versus the “Lost” finale for its first-season finale this past Sunday.
Two other new reality shows “Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business” and “Basketball Wives” both get renewals as well.

Say it isn’t so…come on everyone, did we really expect her to land a man; there would not be a second season if she had….by the way, what exactly does she have to offer a man…she is good looking for her age I must admit, but beyond that, what gives….

Isn’t she supposed to pretend for at least a few months that she was indeed successful in finding someone before the ‘announcement’ comes that it wasn’t a good fit and she’s back on the search?
At least that’s how Flavor Flav (3x), Ray J (2x), Bret Michael’s (3x) and Miss New York (2x) did it.
Yeah, I saw it..

Seriously, what does Chilli have to offer anyone? Regarding her list, in my opinion, she is looking for a man that’s not looking for her.

Damn seems like some of yall are mad that she is probably getting $10,000 an episode for cameras to follow her around and go on dates and she probably gets around $20,000 a month from Dallas Austin in child support. Meanwhile you guys are on here talking about her while hoping you dont get laid off from your miserable jobs. Good for her!

Are you serious???? VH-1 can I get a show???? She doesn’t have any money and nothing to offer like everyone says, so why are you all focusing on her. I have a story for you, I am educated, MBA, MPA, and pursuing a doctorate, make 6 figures per year, no kids, and can’t find a decent BLACK man in ATL. Most of the men here play games, are leeches, or are married/ Gay.. Then they want to say that women in Atlanta have high standards. You know what, I have dropped my standards to the basics of a car, house (apt. will do), job, all teeth, can read and write, etc.. (lol).. Seriously,. let’s focus on real issues and real women, not washed up has beens!!!

My previous comment was posted just for haters like you. And if u think Chilli dont have money then you are retarded. Her baby’s father is one of the most successful producers in music history. With that 100k a yr you make do us a favor and buy a clue with it.

When you are stating facts, I don’t consider it hating and I definitely don’t see anyone on here being mad. I have no reason to hate on anyone. I don’t have to worry about being laid off because I work for myself. Do YOU need a job??

@ redd….I didn’t say 100K retard, I said 6 figures so just in case you didn’t make it past 3rd grade, that can be anything less than $1M….. No wonder you have time to post on this site… You probably don’t work or maybe you are related to her, is that why you are taking this so serious? Or maybe you think you will get noticed and get to ride around in a little red car too!! Once again, if you need a job, let me know. I don’t have time to waste on here, was just stopping by so direct your ignorance somewhere else… Take care!!

@Redd, so Chilli has money. Yes, we get that.And..So what??
If Chlli is wack, she’s wack, period — whether she has money in the bank or not. Maybe shallow people like you define yourself and others by how much money a person has, but not all of us think that way.

No thank you. Im at work right now. Laughing at miserable women like you hating on others. And what fact did you state. You said she doesnt have any money. WRONG! Then you said she has nothing to offer a man. YOUR OPINION! Damn do u know her? How do you know what she has to offer to anyone. Lets see, she’s beautiful, good mother, successful, and PAID! She is sitting home doing her while you are online talking about her. Sounds like hating to me

All I was saying is that Im happy that her show is doing well. GOOD FOR HER! Sometimes if you dont have nothing good to say then you shouldnt say anything at all. Maybe shallow people like you shouldnt judge people, especially ones that you know nothing about!

Stupid people watching stupid TV shows while our economy flushes down the toilet.Hollywood could sell a $h1& sandwich to Americans and many would buy it, and eat it. Our collective IQ is that of a 10 year old. Proof that the decline of America is in full swing.

I came across her show while flipping through the channels…i think her show sucks. Its OK to dictate what “she wants” in a man if she’s really deserving of those traits that she’s looking for. There would be a much better balance in her show if she ever stated what it was that she has to offer…i watched if for 15 mins and saw no hint of anything. This from a “has been”.

I like Chilli, she is nice looking for ANY age, but she does not come across well on this show at all! What man, with ANYTHING going for himself and with any pride would want to be with her. She shows ZERO redeeming qualities on this show that would make you want to be in her life. Same with the Basketball wives. These women are NOT impressive at all and it’s really sad!!!

I agree with those who say Chilli seems to be asking a lot without having a lot to offer.
For someone so demanding, what is she bringing to the table — a pretty face and a fit body?? In this city, that’s a dime a dozen. A quality, educated, paid black man in Atlanta has access to finer, fitter, sexier, better educated women with… less baggage.

People have been using the word “hating” since i was in highschool (94-98). We wouldnt use it so much if it didnt happen so often. You women are a trip. Always talking down (HATING) on others. I see why many of you are alone and biter.

The show is a little boring! It’s not that I’m looking for drama, but it’s just not catching my attention.. and I’m a fan! I really do not care for the match maker, she’s the reason I change the channel…too, too much or something. Plus, writing a relationship book or two, does not make you an expert…glad she has a job, but it’s just not a good fit from a fellow TLC and reality show fan.
