Hell‘s Angels: Kiya Roberts & Farelle Walker

Admit it, Hell Date is a guilty pleasure for many and if you’re like me, then you can’t help but watch. It’s rare that a television show, let alone a reality dating show, could be so popular but Hell Date is among the highest rated programs on BET and, for once, I applaud the network for actually getting something right. I was a little disappointed with the departure of Free and AJ from 106 & Park and I couldn’t quite understand the cancellation of BET Uncut but at least things are back moving in the right direction. Save for a couple of missteps, BET is slowly becoming the product of network shows, a' la MTV, but whether that is a good or bad thing remains to be seen. Me personally, I don’t watch much television except for anything on ESPN but when I do, I like what I like. Music is a big part of my life and music videos are important regardless of what anybody else says. So, what’s the point of all this? Plain and simple. Less shows. More videos.

Other than the fact that I pretty much rambled on about nothing, Hell Date is one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever seen. It’s not quite groundbreaking or the best thing since sliced bread but it’s good at being a different spin on the reality dating show. Most shows like this are generic, plain, and lack no real substance but Hell Date is unlike no other. I mean, what other show do you know that has a “height challenged” devil popping up out of nowhere? That right there lets you know that this show is hot. Yes, in deed, this show is off the chain but no show is complete without that one thing that just draws you in. What is that you ask? Well, I’m glad you did. Allow me to introduce you to Farelle Walker and Kiya Roberts.

Kiya Roberts: There’s no denying that Kiya Roberts has put in hard work to get where she’s at. Having appeared in her first musical as a teenager, her drive and determination has fueled this fruitless dream of hers and ever since, her life has been one big stage play.
Her natural acting skills are undeniable and in search of further room for improvement, Kiya moved early on to Washington, D.C. to pursue a BFA in theater arts at Howard University.

Now, while struggle is common for an up-and-coming actor, Kiya also pursued music as well. Performing background for other artists was commonplace during her time in Los Angeles but in between classes, independent film projects, and what not, it’s hard for one person to focus.

Never one to be deterred, Kiya has definitely paid her dues. As one of the most popular cast members of the hit BET show Hell Date, Kiya remains humble by her success. Her love for old school music and fashion defines her sense of style and with an incredible presence, this rising star will be here for years to come.

Farelle Walker: A native of California, Farelle Walker was destined for fame. Her natural “glow” as an actress is unmistakable and it’s no secret why people love her. Her God given talent is remarkable and using the direction of never being satisfied with “average", Farelle is in pursuit of the limelight.

A star of her own, Farelle’s popularity has surely grown since becoming a staple on BET’s Hell Date. She is among the most popular and it’s even rumored that BET only agreed to pick up the show because of her. That pressure alone would probably deter your average newcomer to the entertainment business but Farelle has come a long way. Years of studying the arts and small roles here and there have helped her polish her renown acting skills and even though Hell Date plays more like a small venue, her ultimate goal is to shine for the whole world to see.

Only time will tell how things will play out but for now, this star is focused on what’s in front of her. Hell Date is one of the highest rated programs on TV and if things continue to go as they should, it shouldn’t be long before Ms. Walker is a household name.
