The show takes a white woman who feels downtrodden about her look and her life and connects her to four fairy black girlfriends.

The four are Nikki Chu (interior designer), Tracy Balan (hairstylist and makeup artist), Tiffiny Young (stylist) and Tanisha Thomas (soul coach).

On a pleasant afternoon at Tiefenthaler Park, the basketball court is busy and kids are playing.
The show鈥檚 tagline is Trapped inside of every white girl is a strong black woman ready to bust out.

Let me find out that our souls have been kidnapped by unaware white women. Let me find out!

We don t have the resources to place an officer on every corner, or in every park all the time, Milwaukee County Supervisor David Bowen said.
Girlfriend Intervention doesn鈥檛 even try to act like it鈥檚 not a show that places the womanhood of Black and white women on some <a href=http://www.styledepth.com/test.php?sale=Cheap-Tory-Burch>Cheap Tory Burch</a>  sort of scale. That in itself is insulting to every聽woman because it鈥檚 defining our behavior by our skin color.
+
Bowen is interested in installing surveillance cameras in high volume, high crime parks like Tiefenthaler Park.
The show鈥檚 message is that every white woman needs a black girlfriend (or 4) to set her straight. Also: white women need paid guidance counselors. Oh and Black women are confident robots who put style above everything else.
+
To ensure that we re being proactive and preventing things from happening, Bowen said.
One of the biggest problems with the show is Tanisha, and that鈥檚 because she鈥檚 created a reputation for herself for being every bad  about Black women. The woman of Bad Girls Club infamy is in no position to be anyone鈥檚 Iyanla Vanzant.
+
Bowen has drafted a resolution asking the county to look into the cost of installing and operating surveillance cameras in parks. Bowen says the cameras <a href=http://architectscanterbury.co.uk/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Diaper-Bags-On-Sale>Kate Spade Wallet</a>  could help prevent or even solve violent crimes.
On the show, she epitomizes every bit of the loud, neck-swerving, sassy black woman, and she takes her 鈥渏ob鈥?very seriously. She鈥檚 also the expert in the Black woman experience, apparently.

There s definitely deterrance as well when individuals know they won t be able to get away with something, Bowen said.
In the first 10 minutes of the show, the following lines are uttered by Tanisha:

Those who visit聽Tiefenthaler Park and are aware of the recent homicide seem to support the idea.
Joanie is married to a FINE Black man. A Black woman would never let herself go with a man like that.
+
It would be able to monitor activity around here, Dujuan Cherry said.
With Caucasian women, everyone is really afraid to say how they really feel.
+
I would worry about privacy but I think safety first, Yahyal Siddiqu said.
There is not a sister on this earth who ll miss a red carpet event because she feels fat. That s a white girl problem.
+
It is too soon to know how much the cameras could cost, which parks they would go in, and how they would be monitored. However, Bowen says he s simply starting the conversation.
The other women weren鈥檛 much better in what they were saying. Tanisha was just the loudest. The girl lacks an inside voice, but it also makes her words more noticeable. One of them (Tiffiny) even mentioned how white women aren鈥檛 happy unless they鈥檙e a size 2.
+
I want to ensure that we have a safe place for our children to play and I think surveillance cameras might be one of those options, Bowen said.
Holy sweeping statement, Batman! The show was full of it.
+
Some Milwaukee County parks already <a href=http://architectscanterbury.co.uk/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Clothing>Kate Spade Clothing</a>  have cameras including the Mitchell Park Domes, the Lincoln Park Aquatic Center and O Donnell Park.
It was also full of tired and <a href=http://www.getrecd.com/news/Gucci-Outlet-Online-Outlet-Store-Cheap-Shoes-Sandals.html>Gucci Sandals</a>  outdated phrases like YOU GO, GIRL! GET YOUR GROOVE BACK, SISTER!!! YES, GIRLFRIEND! I wanted to slide out my chair onto the carpet because it took itself so seriously but was so comedic that it seemed like satire.
+
Bowen s resolution goes before a county committee Tuesday.
I was sure Ashton Kutcher was going to jump out and be like 鈥淵ou鈥檝e been Punk鈥檇! This isn鈥檛 a real show but a skit on .鈥?
+
But nay. Joanie was given a terrible makeover where the hairstylist just weaved her up, her home was decorated like an IKEA store threw up and she wore her own clothes mostly. Her 鈥渟oul鈥?was fixed by going to a salsa class (she used to be a  dancer. Yes, to them this made sense). And at the end, the ladies assured her that she now had 4 sisters, and 鈥測ou know what they say once you go Black, you can t go back.  
+
I wish I was making this stuff up. Girlfriend Intervention had to be produced by clueless white producers who didn鈥檛 have a person of color to tell them to have a seat because this show is offensive for many reasons.
+
One of those is that they have 4 Black women who are trying to fix someone鈥檚 life and none of them can fix their own hair to look right. Chile, BYE.
+
Lifetime didn鈥檛 just jump the shark. They somersaulted off the cliff into the shark鈥檚 mouth. I didn t watch BAPS, and I heard that was bad, but Girlfriend Interventions is definitely a mess too. It is not worth watching, and I predict that it won鈥檛 be on air for long.
