Reviewcircle sounds jealous to me...
gingeremace2 March 2022
I was a cheerleader for years with Pilar in high school, so you could say I've known her for years too, and same situation with a mutual friend that appeared on the show. Whatever relationships Pilar had before Deion Sanders are absolutely irrelevant to reviewing this show, and how you wrote about them shows everyone reading a whole lot more about you than it does about Pilar. How sad to use the IMDB review section to word-vomit-by-keyboard your personal feelings (which sound a lot like typical E-town jealousy of someone who made it out). Personally, I think being chosen as a model in at least one nationwide retail clothing chain's catalogs, plus acting in TV shows and movies, is considered successful at being a model and actress, but apparently even just those few items from her career don't fit your idea of what success is.

Anyway, this show had writers and producers to steer it. Clearly you don't know that the term "reality show" does not mean "100% real as life happens with just cameras following people around". It never has been that, because from the very first show in this genre until now, producers get involved. It's their job to make a hit show, and any producer who wants to have a long career in the business will do whatever they need to or can to make that happen.

You might want to check your facts before you go off next time. Deion is 1 of 3 writers credited on this "reality" series, and Pilar is NOT 1 of the other 2... a fact you obviously missed when you placed blame on Pilar for the way Deion / their dynamic was portrayed. Maybe Pilar had some input on the storylines / script, and they were both producers, but in the end, Deion could've used his influence or refuse to roll with the way he was being portrayed, but he did not (and we know he did not because of what we saw in the episodes).

Again, keep in mind producers want hits, and success brings more opportunities to all involved. (Just to be clear, by "hits", I'm not talking about the documented injuries she has suffered from a certain person's overinflated ego and temper.) I'm sure Deion was thinking about ratings and getting more clout outside of football, and even more endorsement deals that still keep coming to this day. Maybe Deion is more of an opportunist than you think, and you should switch the aim of your obvious gossipy, E-town butthurt away from Pilar and toward Deion.

Reality about a reality show is better than the show itself -- check this out
reviewcircle6 March 2008
You want reality about Pilar Biggers and her catch?

The show, let me tell you, has nothing to do with reality. I know Pilar for years now and I am very sad that she's using people like you to get some fame, which is all that she ever wanted and Deion knows it. I feel bad for him because he thought he was getting a good wife for his kids and all he got is a gold digger. Has Pilar ever even shown her real face to anyone?

Pilar comes from Elmira, New York and she had very hard working parents. She tried college for a while but she went to Miami to visit her sister Kandie and her brother Scottie and she met her FIRST catch... Johnny Mitchell from the New York Jets. He met her in a club and, like the movie Pretty Woman, bought her clothes, a car and a RING. SHE WAS ENGAGED ONE MONTH LATER!!! She was only about 20 years old and against her family's advise she moved to New York City with him hoping he would marry her. At this point she had quit college, of course, which was Syracuse University and her father and mother had fought very hard for her to be able to attend for the past 2 years. Keep in mind that her sister and brother, Kandie and Scottie had to start working at an early age and they could never attend a 4-year university. So it was a very big deal. But when things didn't work out with Johnny Mitchell about 4 months later, she didn't go back to college, she went back to Miami. Then she tried to be a model but it didn't work at all so she just left with a friend to Chicago. There she did some print work and tried hard to hang out with Chicago Bulls players. After some months she left with someone else to Los Angeles. She again struggled with modeling, got into music videos... AND SHE MET HER SECOND CATCH, who you wonder? Wesly Snipes

He's a much older guy and wiser so she did not get an engagement out him. But he did buy her a new car. About 1 year later she met Deion, her third catch, and this one fell all the way! She got him through the God talk and religion because he was going through a lot at the time with his divorce. He really wanted a mother for his kids. What's funny, if you have watched Beyond the Glory in 1999, in that show, Deion explains how she is an angel sent from heaven!! She really is a good actress, you should hear her. Now the story is that she always wanted fame for herself and attention and Deion does not like that. So she is playing the very hard working mother who is smarter than him and struggles a lot taking care of the the mansion, the money.... and he does not let her have a career. Well she says she is a former actress/model so she wants to get that back. Of course, now she is Pilar Sanders, not Pilar Biggers. So if he would help her she could be like Tyra Banks or one of those successful ones!! That's how smart she is. Yes, she is smart because through this show she may very well get enough sympathy since she married a very very bad man, Deion, who according to her, is not a good husband because she cannot be equal partner with his wealth and success.

So that's reality. A lot better than the show, don't you think?
