(Updated) Braxton Family Values on Four Hours Tonight

Atlanta's own Toni Braxton, her four sisters, their mother and at least one southwest Atlanta native are back on the little screen tonight.

Braxton Family Values, the new reality TV show which gives viewers an inside look into the lives of singer Toni Braxton, her four sisters and their mother, is back on the air Tuesday evening.

 The 10-part episode—which was shot mostly in the Atlanta area — airs again at 8 p.m. on the cable network We TV. Tonight's first episode is "The Bermuda Triangle" followed by "Taste of a Wedding Singer" and two more episodes.

Season two premieres Nov. 8, according to the Braxton Family Values official website.

Braxton Family Values drops the curtain on the personal and professional lives of her sisters Tamar, Trina, Traci, Towanda and mother Evelyn.

As Toni relaunches her stage show, Tamar is biting at the bit to launch her own solo career. She is not shy about letting everyone know it, particular her husband who owns a record label and is Toni's best friend and manager.

Traci, however who is married and had a child at a young age feels trap and misses her former life being a back-up singer for her older sister. Now she feels like an outsider.

Towanda is growing tired of being Toni's assistance, and she is also dealing with marital issues. She and her husband, Andre Carter, who grew up in southwest Atlanta and graduated from Woodward Academy in 1980, have an open marriage.

Trina is sick of being judged by her sisters and she appears to be out of control when she receives a DUI right down the street from her mother's church.

After 35 years of marriage, mother Evelyn is single and ready to mingle again. But anyone she dates must first receive a majority vote of approval from the Braxton women.

What you see is what is happening with Toni's estranged marriage. And, surprise! You won't get any dirt on the lone brother who is a nurse and chose not to participate in the program.

One thing the show is not is a career extender for Toni Braxton, the star said during a promotional interviews for the show. The idea to do the show came from the youngest sister Tamar back in 2007. It took a few years to convince all of the sisters to take part in the show and then it was shopped around to the different networks. They finally settled with We TV.

“My sister Tamar talked me into it because at first I said no I'm not doing the show,” Toni said. “I don't want people in my space. I don't want to have to answer things that people may assume from watching the show. And my sister said that's it, don't let them assume any more tell it, so then they hear it and there 's no more assumption.”

Any reason Blackmon is excited about seeing the show is because unlikely the other shows which have a predominantly female cast, the Braxtons are related which adds an additional dynamic to the show.

“Like the saying goes, 'You can chose your friends, but you are stuck with your family,'” Blackmon said.

Tamar echoed Blackmon's point.

“Because we’re not just friends. We don’t have to go home and not speak to each other until next season or whatever,” she said. “We have to deal with each other because we’re siblings and we became very, very close and now I feel like we can tell each other anything.”

“But I have to be honest it was a rough. The first for a few weeks was, the first couple months, actually it was pretty rough,” added Toni.
