I was camped out in front of the television this weekend and for some odd reason, I ended up on VH1. I decided to watch the Salt n Pepa Show. Well, I was pleasantly surprised, at least for this episode. It turns out that the duo had some reconciling to do after Salt decided to call it quits on show business. Salt confessed to dealing with bulimia back in the day. She found her recovery in Christ and has walked away from her old lifestyle. Pepa thought that Salt had left her in a lurch. After many tears and prayer (well, that is at least what Salt did), they decided to reunite and cleanup the act a little.
I think this show is kinda cute because of the good girl (Salt) vs bad girl (Pepa) portrayal. Salt really loves Pepa and she wants the best (ie Christ) for her. At one point, they do a reunion concert at Salt’s church and for just one minute, Pepa seems to forget where she is and begins to shake a little too much. Salt is shocked, quickly corrects her, and the audience BURSTS into laughter.
The show ends with SnP sitting together proud of their first live performance together in quite some time. Salt apologizes for the way she left the group – and it seems that that those few words were just what Pepa needed in order to let go of the past and embrace the future.
