  1. It is the one aspect of the Duggars that make me wish I would stumble over them while buying, have them simper in superiority that little motto of theirs. to which I would turn and say "yeah a couple packets of seeds and a little hard work would save your simpleton of a lazy ass mother from having to buy that stupid ass money wasting cases of canned beans all the time. Fuck you, your worn sneakers and the womb you slide out of."
  2. It is so stupid not to air the rest of the episodes. Especially since in a few weeks we will be subjected to all the current shows airing re-reuns from this very season. When shows like NCIS drop in ratings, they drop fast (probably because half of that demographic is watching from bed already). I get that the networks have changed but I wish someone would look back and take the gamble of doing what worked in the past. Slowly building an audience over a season and letting word of mouth take point.
  3. RE: Opening credits. I don't want to associate any of these asshats with uncontrolled fluids.
  4. When I saw my first trivago ad all I could think was "is hiring a homeless man the right way to sell a hotel room search site?" He so looked like the guy in the Hallmark Holiday movie who starts out down on his luck and ends up helping the hero(ine) of the movie find the true meaning of Christmas by having the hero(ine) help him find his way out of the gutter and back to being a societal asset. But at the start of the journey back to having a worthwhile life. Gutter still over his shoulder, a few empties around his feet and the clothes from the Goodwill bin, not necessarily freshly laundered. I would have loved to sit in on the casting meeting with this guy. Who thought "all hope abandoned" was a marketable aspect for a television spokesperson. For those who live in Raymour & Flannigan's market, add the woman cooing snidely to her sleeping husband to the shrews rulz category. The man is sleeping on their brand new couch and she condescendingly coos how he bought it to "watch the game". As if a couch serves one purpose. As if her husband can't be tired and take a fucking snooze. Maybe my reaction is a little over the top but Raaymour & Flannigan have a history (of ads that still run) that are so Holly Homemaker it is not funny. One has the wife be patted on the head by her husband for doing such a good job arranging their new furniture. It comes off so patriarchal. Then there is the ad with a woman walking through her newly furnished home that she did for the family she loves. It all seems like overseeing the furniture picks and placement is wimmin's work.
  5. I agree. He actually has some almost ugly features that come together in the right way. His nose has a slight hook to it and he has beady eyes even if they are large and sparkle. His body is okay but its got the same "got nothing else to do and I have no imagination so I go lift....because it makes me feel I'm hot" . And I thought that when he was still a "former felon" not a "current felon". Buuuuut. Look at Phaedra's budget. I think for what she got exactly what she paid for.
  6. Over time I've found Jose to be a wind sock. Sort of like Nicole Wallace has proven as she jumps from Morning Joe to the View on the same day. Both blow in the direction they think gets and keeps them on tv and the audience that venue addresses. I suspect if Jose is still on MSNBC in 2016 and a Republican is leading in the polls for the White House he will slip back to following his brother's ideiology. Right now he is busy selling himself as moderate Hispanic. Which is highly marketable going into 2016. Hence the two hour slot I suspect. But I remember some of his commentary prior to his new position and all I can say is he is a slick salesman and I remain in "Buyer beware" mode.
  7. I don't watch regularly and often in drive by mode. But I have yet to see Cohen exhibit much in the way of pop culture knowledge. He has had guests whose careers were at their apex before I was born. None of whom I'd say i was a fan of. And i still know what Andy brays about. Many times I know more. And l've noticed his cards are not just questions but also notes he goes all old style "The View" on. In fact he still shows a remarkable lack of current pop culture and events beyond what i suspect he follows as the ten top trending items he can easily access. From allthe way back when he was so idiotically giddy at thinking he "discovered" Cristiano Ronaldo long after his Armani underwear campaign had blown up across the internet. And NY and LA billboards. To every time someone like Rachel Maddow is on and he tried to pretend he even as a remote clue only to cock his head flash those life ending teeth of his and make some dumbass juvenile remark before shifting to some housewife's new tits. If Paper wants to follow up the Kardashian mess, they could put Cohen on the cover and instead of the fake ass they could just have him hold his contract. Since both ass and his success are complete acts against nature and logic, imo.
  8. There is a new ad, I think it is Buick. Man walks across street to say hello to his neighbor who has a black eye and says he got it because it is black Friday. The other man says how he slept in and still got great savings. Looks over his shoulder at new car sitting in driveway. At best he bought the car for his wife. But the way it sits in the driveway suggests he went out and bought himself a new ride. So how does that compare to going out and buying presents for family and friends? The guy is incredibly douchtastic just with his smugness. Add in the presumed self-rewarding entitlement? And yeah. I so want that car. So first Buick (assuming it is a Buick) pisses off pretty much anyone with a brain, let alone a vagina with the neighbor couple looking out the window and pretty much saying new cars that come from raises, come from men who get raises. Now they have selfish turds bragging about much money he saved. By buying a new car for himself. Granted I get itchy annoyed every time commercials use the term "save/saved/saving" on items you are being told you want, not really need. Going out and buying a new car because there is a sale is not saving me money. Buying a car at the right time because I need a new car is when I am interested in saving money. Car companies though have always played on want versus need though so I'm never surprised. But still. I don't get why Buick seems bent on pissing people off. The smug tone does nothing to sell a car in the situation most people find themselves in. Buying gifts for others. "Jimmy, I know you wanted that new toy. Heck, seeing that toe poke out on this incredibly cold morning, I bet you wouldn't even mind the usual dreaded gift of socks. Well too bad. Spend this Christmas day looking at the window at Daddy's new car cause that is all you're getting"
  9. I think there is a combination of things here. First is her personality. Stassi seems bent on acting as if she has achieved what she thinks she deserves. She wants to be an influential fashionista. She wants to be the smart witty talking head that takes her beyond the narrows confines of this little circus. She wants to be a star. I think like most narcissists she tends to apply magical thinking. if she says something enough it will become so. Second is the fact that Stassi is way too dim to read the writing on the wall. Considering how contrived everything is on the show and her age, I bet she is familiar with the Hills. What she fails to see is that that show's powers that be were Lauren Conrad's family friends. True friends. Who wanted to see their special snowflake kids live out their dreams. And for some it worked. The "love triangle" from Laguna Beach have all managed to be celebrities and be "stars". But is because they had the show behind them. Conrad had smart parents who had very rich friends who all came together and did a remarkable job branding Lauren when she gave up trying to be an actress/fashion designer. She seems to be happy being famous for being her plus whatever she can sell with her name on it. But big money again was carefully thrown her way by people that cared about her well being. Stassi does not have that. If it gave Lisa Vanderpump a show on one of the big four networks and a guaranteed People magazine cover more than once a calendar year, Vanderpump would not only sell Stassi on the underground slave trade market, she would tied her up herself. And Stassi does not get that. She like all the others are a commodity that is there to be used and then thrown away the instant it grows stale. Right now I suspect she is on the show as Lisa's straw horse. A way to oddly and in Bizarro world logic, try to sell the authenticity of the show by having one of the main cast not be wait staff at one of the restaurants. Ironically this puts her under Lisa's power even more. Lisa is so petty and vindictive for slights that Lisa pulls out of her ass like Hobby Lobby's mythical take on how birth control works, I can actually see the reason Stassi is back is so Lisa can pull the rug out from under her. Stassi's little jaunt to supposed stardom in NYC fails. She comes back and is welcomed on the show. but in a position that is very easy to make her jump hoops even faster and shoved off the cast even quicker.
  10. For me these constant "go somewhere else and do a little stuff" episodes are more like a slide show that moves. There is something so dated about them. And not in a nostalgic kind of way. More of a weary myopic Stultification . Like color never comes to Pleasantville.
  11. See but that just highlights the point of too many people and not a real conversation in my opinion. For me, while I hate when there is an attention hog, everyone should have gotten their moment about 15 minutes in and then sit back and be organic and off point (schilling whatever brought them on the show). Instead we had the show nicely gold star what were basically five asses on a couch that for me will always be built for three. For this show, I just don't find the toddler tee ball approach - you all get to play-- to be an accolade. It's a bit like going into surgery for an appendix removal, waking up to be a quadruple amputee and the surgeon telling you cheerfully "hey at least you survived". Okay the show wasn't that bad. But is was Good Fallon Tonight show bad. And that ever so slightly makes it in the fail category for me. The show simply works with three at the level my time is worth. Mileage obviously varies.
  12. Kier plays reality show games. She acts outrageously entitled to stir shit and then makes sure to weep all over the place when the cameras are running and there is no around she dares to patronize. So of course Diane takes her on the special event. And i love how Diane prates to the camera it is not a reward. Really? Because since this is a contest (even though you all act -- poorly at that -- it isn't) any chance to prove yourself the others do not have is a reward. Kier was the stick Diane used to yet again stir shit. Even as she claims to be so torn over whether to continue the program. Like she doesn't know how many episodes she contracted. And the short and easy answer to the episode title question. Money and fame.
  13. The Kohls ad infuriates me because of the sullen tween gets his way trope. If the deer was really magic is would back kick the little shit in the balls for his rudeness to his dad, bite the kid's phone pad in half and then pellet the kid with turds as he flies away.
  14. ugh, Suzanne Somers has ad out. No not the funny one about her three way poncho. But the one about some healthcare website. The lighting and the soft focus are ridiculous. So ridiculous that it took three different airings for me to realize that the soft fuzzy smear on my tv? Is not on my tv. No it is a splotch on the lens right at her mouth to give that area an over soft sense. I tried wiping my tv screen three different times. That ad with the kids and the doritoes is very annoying. Though it makes me laugh now because only recently did I realize the both kids are boys. I thought the one with the worse haircut was a girl. And that still remains the most annoying thing about the ad, among other things. Whoever cuts those kids hair. I also just hate the new trend of sullen tweens having their parents do everything possible to drag them from their sulk and usual attention to their phone/pad. Drive them all over, Take them to see magical flying reindeer that don't exist. Here's a clue, instead of shopping at Kohls or buying some new model car, how about you take away the toys and the plans that support them if junior is a total asswipe? Tell he he now has a few chores since he can't be bothered to be polite to his parent i.e. the one who pays the brat's bills. If the little fucker can mope, he can mop.
  15. So if Apollo was lying, Kenya knew he was lying and yet...Mexico? Something ain't right. With either of them. Or with the situation between them. I'm wondering a tiny bit if its a case of was he telling about lying then? Or lying about then now? Or perhaps there is a vaster area in between that only Kenya and Apollo know about. Because as much as Apollo is a piece of shit even if half of what he now confessed to was true at the time he first claimed it, Kenya is all kinds of her own world of wrong for not keeping her distance from a man. One we now have to presume lied about her being a chasing his dick like it was the last piece of flesh pumping blood and she was one of the Walking Dead. What kind of person is the victim of such a fool man and yet still wants to get messy with that same man's marriage as a means to pass time and straddle your parts for the camera? Sick sad little woman with nothing to back her delusions of grandeur up but the circle fuck of attention and reward that is this show. Oh yeah and the Apprentice. Matched with the likes of Kate Gosselin. Talk about being judged and sentenced with that casting as to your place in popular society. i wonder if Apollo and keep to this story or if it will change the next time he manages to get any type of platform.
  16. I was checking my email on my server with Comcast and I saw at the top where they try to lure you in with breaking and trending topics one that said Boob and Michelle Duggar recreate daughter's wedding kiss. Click here for video. I didn't. But what the fuckitty fuk? Your daughter gets married and you "recreate" her kiss? For the social media? That is some warped view of yourselves and the relationship you have with your children.
  17. All I saw as I flicked through the usual hot mess that is Andy Cohen -- too lazy to even do a scroll down the wiki page and only go by what comes on the Google entry. How I howled with derisive laughter when Sherri tried to take a sanctimonious stand on having her life out there for the public to peruse. This was a woman in her last season of The View who tried to have a baby by social media. Damn she is stupid and a hypocrite. Not to mention entitled as usual trying to make her current status seem like a choice out of personal strength and not one of just annoying the fuck out of enough people enough times. Kenya is a loathsome carpet bagging talentless lady tool. But I suspect Sherri Shepherd wishes she deserved the "close" seat and is foolish enough to want what Kenya currently has.
  18. As well, I see very cute kids. I also saw Apollo's brother last week. Those kids still have a chance of spoiling Phaedra's master plan and turn out, well, hardly ugly, but not exactly what i suspect Phaedra had in mind. In fact I would laugh if both boys ended up the spitting image of their paternal grandmother.
  19. Enjoyable enough show but hardly riveting. Someone there really has their heads up their asses when it comes to bookings. It makes no sense to crowd the couch over and over again. As full of herself as Annie was (and what was that? she usually is quietly wry and self-deprecating, there was a bit too many little "me" moments in the little time she was there). And I found the inclusion of Bassey sort of made the show stutter a bit. Walliams, Tate and Ayoade deserve their own set and would have done just fine and the momentum could have built to its natural pitch. I love Bassey but she could have done the whole show or not. Sorry but I find this late coming shit tiresome no matter who it is. When it causes this pile up on the couch the show just loses that organic gliding build of amiability and conversation that Graham ring masters to beautifully. This has been a trend since all last season and I have no idea what is prompting them to book so many people over and over again. Movie schilling casts are one thing, (but they book them and then add more people!). I was reminded about Little Britain and think David and Matt as Sia and her dancer might be even funnier than Saunders and French.
  20. Bread and Lettuce: Fawning Hypocrisy as a Success Tool for the Modern Woman by Mika Brzezinski and Conversations to be Had by Mika Brzezinski (publishers note, this book is intended to have all blank pages and is not a publishing error) The Devil is Fat and He Drinks Soda: My Friendship with Chris Christie by Mika Brzezinski
  21. Boy that wife was a piece of work. She really is a sociopath. I love how when she threw old daddy under the train she phrased her outrage as essentially how could he do that to me. By this time she had admitted on cheating on the man and was trying to get out from underneath by trying to mitigate the matter with "I was leaving him anyway so I couldn't have killed him". Yeah he did it to you. Not the man who he had shot. I think the daughter waved money under daddy's nose and he was the patsy if things went wrong. I also think her mother might not have been as clean and innocent. She might not have been in on it but I think she knew exactly who was responsible and why. Not until her ex-husband is taken into custody does she come forward to tell about his abuse. Sure. I suspect if they had gone after the murder victim's father she would have been just fine if he took the fall since it would have meant complete financial control would have been with her daughter. And her parents even if they were split. Plus the kid she had prior to the marriage would be taken care of equally in such event. Any so called divorce would have left one of her grandchildren out in the cold. I wonder if that was a factor in the maternal grandmother getting the kids? A judge might have given her custody to keep all the kids together. I've seen that happen when kids are young but have a strong sibling bound to ease the abrupt loss of both parents. What peeves me about that woman getting the kids is that unless the court assigned a financial conservator, I presume the insurance money would be paid into a trust or guardian held account since the mother was found guilty in the manner she was. Which means the murderess' side of the family still profited from the crime. And if she gets out as early as she could, she could see financial benefit as well. That is one thing I really dislike about Dateline. They spend all this time slowly dripping out the details to raise the drama but they never really tie things up, like what happened with the insurance money. Or why the grandmother got custody. I'm wondering if the child abuse accusations were solely to split the son from his father or whether they were hoping to trigger some real violence between the two men to make the subsequent murder even more firmer laid at the father's feet. Keith is such a shit though. His insincerity to the father after he broke down when it was exactly what Keith was aiming for. Especially since the way the show's narration went it seemed rather clear the son and father were estranged and no such "knowledge" that the son considered his father to be his hero existed no matter how warm and fuzzy an ending it made. I know it is impossible to tell an sociopath he or she isn't smarter and knows it all. But when are these people going to learn they need to train themselves to produce tears when needed if they are going to kill a spouse they are claiming to love. When she was interviewed by Keith she seemed to actually reach a point where she seemed to forget she was in the midst of sorrow fest. almost started to smile and then caught herself and did some dry heaving sobs with not only no tears but not even a real hitch to her voice.
  22. Kathy Griffin tried it. Rove McManus did here in the States as well. Neither got the grove due to various skill and talent gaps. Andy Cohen pathetic idiot that he is takes an entire season of Graham like shenanagins and boils it down to a half hour with himself as the domineering games master with none of the wit and humor and just makes sure to get as many of his guests liquored up to Marky Mark levels so no one notices how nekkid that "emperor" is. And ugly nekkid at that. I actually think it is not the lack of a skilled host so much as Americans love their celebrities until they hate them. So the show would either be too insulting of some precious People Magazine cover star or too precious and protective.
  23. The lack of time definitely plays a part. But if, say, Dmitri had gone with a deep blood red instead of all black, I think he could elevated the look significantly. And I wonder if the fact Sonjia stayed away from typical white is why she scored so high. I think the "good" could have gone with champagne or even some kind of metallic gold (I was thinking some of the dresses Keira Knightly has worn doing the talk show circuits from Chanel that are sleek powerful and yet wonderfully feminine) The true trick would be to capture the essence of evil in a gown that was pale pink or frothy lilac. Or good embodied in something of dark emerald green. Granted I couldn't do it. I couldn't even take a huge piece of material and jam it up around Milano's torso like Kim Kardashian's fake ass playing dress up (the actual ass that is). But someone worthy of the term all stars could. Given time. At this point I think the Fashion Guild should file a class action suit as PR as long as it uses the term "couture" followed by whatever time limit they then ordain.
  24. No, no. Because your march of In Depends, Once... begun will rouse every other user to drop trou and boldly and bravely show the world why you rustle when you run. You will be legion. I know it to be so because I saw it in a commercial.
  25. There was a lot of ugly going on tonight. And then the camera panned away from Milano. All in all, this was a horrible runway. Of the three in the top, Dmitri's was the best, but it was rather old and tired looking. Almost every other dress that went down the runway seemed like it was two or even three different dresses patched together. A top part would look beautiful and then the camera would go down the length of the model and the skirt would be hideous. Or vice versa. I could not believe when Sonjia's model turned around and they loved the back of her dress. The construction looked shoddy and the pleats did not flatter or make an 'wow" moment to me. Samantha's and Michelle's both looked very, very crafty and rushed conception and execution. I thought two girls got stole into the home ec classroom and tried to Cinderella's furry and feathered friends a dress for the prom. An hour before the prom. Both jay and Fabio make weird choices that I often feel stem more from ego than it should. Yet both had elements of construction, design aside, that were head and shoulders above the rest. Hated both looks for the challenge but I'm glad they are in. Not a single dress was elegant which is how I think both good and evil should convey in a couture challenge. Especially good. Good should have either been tightly coolly crisp or perhaps ethereal in some regard. Evil should have been dangerously seductive and or malevolent in some way. Huge huge huge fail. Don't even get me started on the tea cozies Alyssa draped on her sorry ass this week. Though to be fair it was a toss in her runway outfit whether she was a tea cozy or doing her interpretation of a Victorian Madame's key fob.
