Pregnant Atlanta sex toy owner, singer and "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Kandi Burruss helps a couple from Dacula find satisfaction in the bedroom on a Thursday (October 15) episode of "The Steve Harvey Show."
The show airs locally on Fox 5 at 3 p.m.
Here's how the show describes the situation:
Some people enjoy sex more than others, but when a couple doesn't see eye to eye in the bedroom, their love life can come to a screeching halt. "If I don't initiate, it won't happen," Jason tells Steve Harvey. Sabrina admits that she's not comfortable initiating sex and that she definitely has inhibitions. It may have to do with her upbringing as the eldest child of a pastor, where she was raised to be an example to her younger siblings.
Burruss will also be joined by sex expert Laura Berman.

Good news for Peachtree City native Johanna Braddy: her show on ABC "Quantico" has been given six more episodes on top of its initial 13-episode order. The total is currently 19. Deadline.com says the show could potentially get a full 22, the standard broadcast run for a scripted show.
The show has done well on Sunday night despite a weak lead in "Blood & Oil" but took a bit of a hit against "The Walking Dead," which ran for 90 minutes into the first 30 minutes of "Quantico." Its overnight ratings was 5.7 million viewers for its third episode, down a bit from week two. The show's 18-49 Live+3 numbers grew from 3.1 to 3.3 rating from week one to week two. That's what clearly led ABC to give the show the back nine, as they say.
The first episode, when seven days of DVR usage is included, drew 12.2 million viewers.
The pilot was shot in Atlanta (though set in New York and Virginia) but it has since moved to Montreal.
