Hot Chick of the Moment

Jackie Christie is a complicated woman. She is in a committed marriage (with the emphasis on COMMITTED) with NBA baller, Doug Christie. I have been watching the show, "The Christies: Committed" on BET Jazz. For the most part, Jackie is pretty regular. She has beef with Circuit City and airline agents just like everybody else. The most disturbing thing I learned about Jackie from watching the show is that her husband actually had to take her to a zoo in order to convince Jackie that owls were real. (Seriously... And, girl, it was for your own good.) Sure, Jackie muttered under her breath a little bit and looked sideways at a couple of people, but she was pretty sedate. Honestly, I was a little disappointed. (If you get renewed for another season, be a little bit more exciting. Jackie, I know you were holding back a little crazy. C'mon!)

Did I observe any more evidence to pull Doug's man card? Well, you might be shocked to know that Doug enjoys picking out clothes for his wife. His selections were tasteful. There was no "flair" involved. And he showed sensitivity in picking out flattering styles for his wife whether she was a size 4 or a size 10 at the time. That's true love. Honestly, I'm not mad at him.

Actually, their show is pretty boring. They are a regular couple. They are no Bobby and Whitney. Not even Flav and Deelishis. No, they're not ashamed of their devotion to each other, but there's nothing wrong with a husband and wife being devoted to each other. Jackie and Doug are not nearly as crazy as you might think. Yes, Doug was allowed within 5 feet of other women. But no woman in her right mind would facilitate situations for her man to be seduced by another women. I think a woman married to a professional athlete or other high profile person has to be a disciple of the Christie Method if she wants to have a traditional marriage and not an "open" marriage. I certainly don't hate on Jackie any more than I hate on the women who take the "what I don't know, won't hurt me" approach. Whatever works....

But other than getting married for the 10th time, nothing too interesting happened on the show. Doug needed a washcloth to contain his tears of joy at their commitment ceremony. Or was that a hand towel? A mere hankerchief or Kleenex could not contain Doug's emotions. It was cute... and Doug did pick out Jackie's dress.

Jackie Christie, you have a "hater's club" and you have a waiting list for the hater's club. It's not everyday that a woman can generate such a response. Kudos.
