SINGLE LADIES Episode 7

VH1′s “Single Ladies” was better than last week’s disaster. Thank God the producers didn’t revisit the Val (Stacey Dash) and Sharon (Queen Latifah) lesbian foolery. Episode 7 follows the continuing struggles of Keisha (LisaRaye McCoy), who strives to remain fiercely independent and secure by not giving in to the man she loves (D.B. Woodside).

(Keisha does not have an addictive personality.)

And Val’s no good ex, NBA bench player Quinn (Kyle Durrett) tries to get back on her good side in hopes of using her to forestall his trade to the Washington Wizards, which he knows is a career ending move. Val is dating the savvy owner of Quinn’s fictional basketball team. But in next week’s episode, Val learns the hard way that all is not as it seems if a wealthy man is over 40 and single but he’s not a widow.

“Single Ladies” was filmed on location in the Atlanta area. VH1 announced a 2nd season of the popular scripted series yesterday! “Single Ladies” airs on Mondays at 9 p.m. EST.
