I avoid the grotesque shows like I Have What Lodged in my Urethra?! So Botched is definitely off my list. I also would like less of the talent contest shows since I avoid those as well. I would love more SciFi (or is it Syfy now?) made for TV movies though even if they are ridiculously gratuitous in terms of gore and violence. I'm sad they are having a "season" and it just ended as the new FYI network has a show called Married at First sight and I figure that would be great viewing. I want to watch Drunk History with the two women and the black family every single week.

Kristin married Josh thinking she found someone whose wealth and looks were enough to satisfy her sense of entitlement from being just so dog on pretty. While making sure she was the dog on pretty one in the marriage and afford her enough power to at least be equal. Now she is finding out that the adulation in Josh's eyes back when they got married was merely the self love of seeing himself reflected in her eyes. Plus he follows Donald Trump's philosophy that "Penis will appear larger when standing next to a model". Just a few minutes of Carole tonight goes a long way to explain how and why she is friends with Andy "Squirrel!" Cohen. Gawd Luann is such a bad singer. Heather and Mario were both painful as well. Sonja is delusional if she thinks she can afford to lose Ramona as a friend by cozening Aviva for absolutely no reason. Even if Harry were ever to hook his wagon to the drooping nag that is Sonja who can't even find her way back to her own stable, Aviva will never be okay with that. And no amount of reality show ass kissing will fix that.

I guessing she simply checked off all the requirements on Scott's Mistress List 1.will she fuck me? 2.is she greedy and self-interested enough she won't laugh at me with my clothes off? 3.will she fuck me? 4.is she stupid and greedy enough not to realize I'm using her more than she is (trying) to use me? 5.will she blow me? 6.is she dumb enough to not realize I can use her famewhoring career hopes to shift enough funds around to keep up a somewhat more luxurious lifestyle than I normally would under my creepy greedy ways? 7.will she fuck me? 8.is she vapid and basically charm free so that when I walk away I won't give a good gracious damn? 9.will she fuck me? 10.is she stupid enough that when I do dump her I don't have to go all covert affairs to keep my cash this time; giving me what I want without me having the tiniest bit of responsibility or future reprecussions? 11. will she....hey the cameras are here I need to go put on my plunging neckline black tee that hides my protruding gut so well...

Ain't that the truth. I did see Annabelle when Julie was "visiting" and was shocked at how haggard and aged Annabelle looked. I keep thinking there is some kind of trick going on and she is actually the daughter of the old woman she had tea with and is the mother of the woman who is supposed to be the older sister. I do imagine it was in good part due to the meds and the pain. But that doesn't explain the lumpiness of her skin. I cannot imagine the horror Noelle will look like in ten years. Way too much stuff done to her face at a young enough age that she isn't taking into account the structural changes faces undergo in a good way as one ages. Ironically I think she actually could have been one of those women who simply stun at they hit their second peak late thirties early forties. Instead she basically made a pinata out of her face but I'm betting no matter how many times I hit it with a stick no candy or toys are coming out. Oh wait. Let me backtrack a couple of episodes to Caprice without makeup. I DO know what Noelle will look like in a couple of years. poeticlicensed you nailed on Caprice trying to continue with the drama by checking out early. She so wanted to cause drama and be the poor put upon victim. If I was off somewhere and was expected to ride back with someone I damn well would have at least left a note at the front desk to be delivered to their room explaining the matter. I find it funny that Caprice always mentions being pregnant and yet never once thinks that her "friends" who are expecting to share breakfast and I'm guessing elevenses and maybe light tea with her might actually worry about her entitled ass (fake natch) simply disappearing. The idea that the woman who last episode tried to prate pompously on how things are properly done couldn't be bothered to practice simple common sense let alone do so for fake drama? I really wish the looney conspiracy theories about both of her babies actually being carried by surrogates turned out to be true and was revealed just as the show got ready to sign on for a second season. I hate the whole 'I'm going to nebulously and frivolously involve myself in a charity simply to make myself look grand" trope BRAVO shows in particular seem to adore since the early seasons of the various Housewives shows. But I will say that Noelle at least did pick a genuine charity instead of starting her own and it is an incredible cause. There is something about British and even European awareness even on the entitled self absorbed levels that lacks here in the US. Americans as a whole a crazy generous in times of need. Even can choke a cynical prick like me up sometimes. But it often seems to take a much greater push on certain things that don't affect us in general; while the reaching out seems greater and more frequent in the UK. Noelle's type of get together is actually pretty common from what I have seen in what I would call the cocktail crowd. I think in large part it does stem from being such a fish bowl of a society,

I disagree. /i think David does like the lifestyle very much, What he dislikes is the trade he has made to enjoy it. I suspect that much of it depends more on Shannon's wealth and that David has surrendered some power in the marriage because of that. I think what he was trying to articulate is that he regrets letting the lifestyle take precedent over the actual workings of their marriage and that he hates saying it because he is just as guilty for letting this happen. I also think what he was trying to say is that he has resentment towards Shannon because of that. He has let the marriage fall to the side just as much as she has in her way. I think much of David's issue involve power. He seems to have some out of date gender ideas in terms of the marriage politic. I wonder how much of his own business came to fruition thanks to Shannon's money and family connections. I think that is the main dysfunction he brings to the marriage. He seems normal around others and in compare to Shannnon because his issues are solely with Shannon. She gets the hidden resentment and that triggers her own raging insecurities and bitterness. Actually I can see this marriage going down this same path for decades simply because the mutual dysfunction works even as it injures. I've seen similar marriages where both members simply need some kind of stimulus in their relationship even if it seems to raging toxic loathing for one another. I think David is flexing his power behind the scenes off the camera. I put full responsibility for Shannon's emotional displaying 'roller coaster ride with Sybil at the switch' on her. But I think like many other types of abusive relationships there are those rare cases when the one knows exactly what triggers the other and does so willingly. If only to look the better as the victim. For all that Shannon strikes me as someone who scarily seems the future part of a murder suicide she acts so crazy I just cannot sympathize much with David since I think he is smart enough to know by know not only where the door is but what triggers to pull and then react to to further whatever agenda he has in this sick marriage. I do think David would be happier if he had more say (or perhaps even the only say) in how they lived their lives. I suspect he makes a very very nice living. And it hurts his pride that is not enough. His attempted effort to express those regrets included his own complicity in taking the path of least resistance and sitting back to enjoy the view he knows he could live without but has grown to like rather well despite that.

After tonight I have to amend my rankings slightly. Matt and Mehran move up. Gregor I have to give even more side eye to. At some point when does he stop being supportive and just be an enabler for his wife to be a raging dick to everyone simply to not have to deal with it himself? I'm betting Juliet doesn't pull the whole "truth barrage" bullshit when they have to socialize with his clients or bosses.

Jeepers first time I ever started a thread. Ended up skipping Annabelle's tumble. Wasn't sure it would turn out to be fake so she didn't actually have to embarrass herself. Didn't want to feel sorry for her and definitely did not want to watch and find out there wasn't anything to giggle and jeer at (I loathe her seat; she is an incredibly uncomfortable rider and I don't think she really should be putting herself at risk or the horse for what I think is show attention -- she can ride but not as well as this demands, even before training; she should stick to her broom). Caprice is one of those women "I just don't understand how she can be so mean". I loathe those type of women who sneakily try to establish a fact attitude in what is a personality disagreement (i.e. takes two with two sides) and therefore subjective. Plus again when with Julie she takes Noelle mentioning the girls commenting on her leaving early and turns it into something far more dramatic and "hurtful". I would love it if she and that face she tried to fight swarm of bees with and lost ended up tracking really poorly in the ratings and was the one not asked back for a second season. I do enjoy Caroline basically taking her words and using them to bitch slap Noelle all the while grinning cheekily. Caroline is a bitch but she does use her powers for good on occasion. So Juliet is all about telling it like it is and being true. Yeah how did that work out for you when you basically called Marissa a liar when she very well could have simply not cared enough to think Caprice matters in the grand scheme of things. Let alone could actually have pregnancy symptoms. How did that work out as you played the childish whatever you say I'll insist the opposite and Marissa told it like it was? We all saw that face when Marissa dared to keep it real and said she wished she knew you during those halcyon days of your third trimester. How was that for real Juliet? And funny how Juliet is so like both of her enemies on the show. All three, Juliet, Annabelle and Caprice have gone out of their way to wrap themselves in nasty petty immature drama based on the simple fact they can't get over someone else refusing to simply roll over and let them not only be right but telling the other what she thinks. I thought Marissa was a bit over weepy but I also thought Juliet basically calling Marissa a liar and a phony for not having the exact same attitude deserved the same level of passion Marissa had. Just should have been the same cutting anger Marissa showed briefly instead of the hurt weepy feelings. Caroline seemed to have to basically remind Juliet that she is nothing without the friendship of Marissa Hermer. I wish Marissa was willing to wield that nicely honed tongue and wit of hers on the other women. HOWEVER, is Marissa pregnant during this time? A month or two? Because didn't she and Matt have their second son after this filmed? Or did she have him right before? I only saw the one boy in the first episode. I'm pretty sure the boys are close together and the younger is rather recent. I noticed that her glass often looks like it might be ginger ale and not champagne. A couple of the champagne glasses have something that is a different shade than the others.

Anyone notice in that furniture ad how bulked up her under garment is? It looks like they would a layer or two of bubble wrap under that striped "Suzy Homemaker Throws a Garden Party" frock (which is so odd on her to begin with because if anything since she became a wife let alone mother she has styled herself aggressively as more of an edgy couture fashionista -- what is the point of hiring someone who is known for E! news and red carpets and then trying to jam her into the dress Amy Sedaris on the set of that fabric softener commercial said " yeah that's dowdy, I'll stick with the one I have on"?). Still the way she moves in it and the way the fabric itself moves shows just how much the commercial people think of her cleaned out vulture buffet looks is in terms of appeal. I'm surprised they went with the Rancics anyway. I wonder if they were signed when she had the high profile exploitation of her cancer thinking they couldn't possible sour that level of appeal.

Did Terry actually show up at the restaurant for the family dinner in his scrubs top? What a douche! How pathetic that he needs to make sure he gets in as many "I'm a surgeon" moments. If he really has that many high end clients you wear a shirt and tie under the white jacket. And you wear scrubs for procedures. Which you then take off. I would for someone like Terry to be told that scrubs were unacceptable attire in the dining room at whatever eatery they were famewhoring at. Then when Terry tries to pull the "I'm an important surgeon" the wait person can screech in disgust "you mean you just did a vaginal reconstruction and didn't change!!!! You are disgusting. And even more so for wearing used scrubs to a restaurant. It is so clear that Heather is trying to elevate herself on both sides of the dog issue. She is the patron saint of rescue dogs. But gets pure breeds. I'm a pure breed fan myself (German Shepherds too ramby!! I do take on rescue dogs. But only if I have two or more German Shepherds that the rescue gets along with. It is amazing how quick the rescue can adjust if there are a couple of pack leaders to guide the way). But Heather trying to go elitist with pure bred dogs while claiming saintdom for rescues was stupid. What? Does she pray for all the dogs that get euthanized because she didn't rescue them? I am so over the Dubrows. I hope the rest give her the same cold shoulder as Alexis which made filming problematic for the Bellinos. I loathed them and am so thankful they are gone. But the Dubrows can join them in obscurity. Because even if Terry the Tool has that Botched show, Heather will be hell to live with if he has The Show and she is left scrambling to fill in on morning fluff shows and bit parts on staggering for ratings TVLand fare.

My one problem with the fashion show was it looked so low rent. I know that they probably had to go to lower tier designers to find someone willing to let the show hijack their moment a bit. But then again it was funny seeing people who were trying to heighten their fashionista cred with a third or fourth tier show, maybe notice the cameras and sit up a bit straighter only to get the Carlton. The guy next to George seemed to be a nice guy. I actually find their improv to be the best. Some of the stuff seems like it was thought out in general and it falls flat (I thought the story telling bit in Texas fell in that category). I actually thought playing the improv striaght man moments by both in the improv show were hilarious. The woman was incredibly bad. I have to wonder without the Carltons what kind of show would normally happen. I'm guessing not very funny.

Well Noelle basically bragged about coming to London chasing cash and then met Scott thinking she was going from millions to billions. Thing is Scott seems like a huge attention trollope on the show so I suspect Noelle has a giant expiration date needled in botox right beside the cheek implants and lip injections and she is too stupid to realize it. She doesn't seem to have figured out Scott is typical aging lowlife piggish insecure sagging scrotum of a man and as her age increases his "her" age likely stays the same. She keeps spraying that air freshner and refuses to realize he knows the difference between febreeze and that genuine new car smell. i think Scott wanting someone who makes her own money is a bit too generous though. I think he wants someone more famous than poor Noelle. Someone who brings the spotlight on him in what he thinks is a "dontchawishyouwerehim" kind of way. For now as he dodges the tax man and the alimony attorneys Noelle and her little show that airs in the States right now fits that bill. I never realized just how virulent the reality show business is in the UK. the US likely has as many but we don't recycle the same people in every single thing. That tawdry piece of plastic has done every reality show she could wrangle her way onto over there. And a few over here now. Those shows offer rather paltry pay and even with a few tabloid pocket change for pics arrangements, I don't care how big an empire she claims, I bet she has a list of creditors she will have to dodge in the not too near future unless the UK television market suddenly explodes with older reality show fare. Can you imagine the dark pit of insecurity that is this poseur? Ironic huh? What with Noelle actually wanting to be more like her?

I wonder if Caprice's boyfriend is on the payroll. Everything about her is so fake I wouldn't be surprised if he was more donor than anything else. None of the men have been shown enough to get a grasp on whether I find them attractive based on personality. I do think just on first visceral to chemicals in my brain reaction, all three of the men married to the three women I dislike the least are the ones I would gravitate towards. Namely Caroline, Marissa and Juliet.

None of the women looked particularly good at the dinner. Plus I think they all over dressed for dinner. I've always been told unless it is said to be formal, dressing for dinner for a woman is Business Cocktail attire. It's clear by the musician schlub the Montagus did not expect formal attire. I think there are pretty strict shooting guidelines unlike in the US that has Amish eating venison all year round to "protect their crops". I recall some non-royal Duke getting flak for shooting out of season. Somerset? Maybe Norfolk? And the Montagus run commercial shooting so even if you have a 'protect your land rights to pull the trigger; that you have here in the US and I believe Canada (somewhat, the Game Commission in some areas will look real close if you make even the slightest hint of habitually filling your freezer in the middle of the summer), they would have to be very very careful what they did. I don't think they would serve up venison for cameras, even US cameras since hunting is a decent money maker. And that estate is a huge sucking pretty property money pit.

But unlike the extra glass door commercial, the husband is presumably hungry and looking for at least one of the items the woman is listing off as actual flavors. I agree that as a kid I would sometimes open the fridge and try to find inspiration. And my mother would tell me to ask her 1. what I was allowed to have and 2. if we had it. Not so much for the electric bill but because during warm weather you lowered the shelf life of things like milk any time you allowed the temp. to rise.

I stopped when they refused to be gender equal and have a hot Italian guy physically maul and molest someone on the street. In a perfect world I'd love to hold Creepy EHarmony guy's toes to a flame until he admitted how full of crap his "more chemistry" claim is. And in a fantasy rewrite that couple that attacks each other during their own party would get a huge hose turned on them.

I just realized in doing the calendar math that Caprice also shared a similar approach to Kim Kardashian in the whole baby issue. This self-inflicted with deformity cow so got pregnant hoping to cash in on the Kate of Cambridge pregnancy. Both Kim or her mother as well as Caprice are familiar that when a big celebrity pregnancy takes place in the media there are always magazine issues that cover all the other pregnant celebrities and fauxlebrities. Caprice knew, I'll bet, that every issues that had pre-George coverage would likely have a side article or more plus photos of where everyone was in their pregnancy.

I wonder just how big gaping hole Mapperton is on the Montagus. Clearly they were frantically whoring themselves out for the production money and a free travel promotional video. Typical British aristocracy entitled pragmatism. Filming ahead and make sure the camera men do everything possible to hide the fact it looked like at least two other dinners were taking place in rooms off the dining room the cast was awkwardly sitting around their table. So much fake contrived and over edited shenanigans. To the point I really don't know how long I can watch with full attention. Sure Juliet is an insecure person who thinks aggressive "truth telling it like it is so I remain myself" bullshit is being socially assertive. It is not. And she damn well knows it. Of the rest of the women, only Marissa is free of the same such trifling childish crap. In fact I would love if the show was focused on Marissa and Caroline and the others were just in the background as part of the wider set the two interacted with. It would be fun if the show was just the two in main showing each other the sides of their cultures they both admire, find funny and odd. The dinner itself was a put on. This is between the 4th and Prince George's birth unless the visit is out of whack. No one in this set with "class" would serve venison in July. What with deer season not starting until August. And no true "manor driven" aristo would serve deer from the freezer for guests right before the season started. Anyone (I'm looking at you Annabelle and Caprice) born into this class would know that the deer meat had 1. been shot out of season -- tacky to the extreme among the gun set 2.was the Montagus cleaning out the freezer of last year's meat. That's 'gyspy' behavior. 3. came from the meat shop or from off estate where Scottish meat would be in season. None of these is "acceptable" or true to what the doddering befuddled 'Gu's were trying to sell to the cameras. And again there are two women who try to pretend they know shit and are only pretenders. Annabelle is more successful because she has been at it longer and managed to glom onto a set thanks to middle class money and a continental title that no one knows or cares about but gets you past the doorman enough until you can get in with someone else you met and cultivated. In any case even if it was early August, it would be shooting season and the estate wouldn't waste deer on a tv show meant only to send more tourists Mapperton's way. By the way at Chatsworth if you are staying, you get a request to list any dietary preferences and if you are just dining you still get a menu enclosed with the invitation and can choose what ends up on your plate -- I suspect close friends they know what kind of menu they can serve. And venison is a complete producer driven element simply because game is more common but also more controversial (plus there is an unconscious back the mind awareness in terms of red meat that the US doesn't have what with not having to massacre almost the entire population of cattle due to mad cow disease). I doubt anyone offering true hospitality would offer up game to guests who might have dietary issues or just not want to eat red meat or game. Caprice is so full of shit that the reason her nose looks so horrible isn't due to plastic surgery but the fact that it is a huge mushroom growing out her nasal cavity. It is not proper to send dietary preferences. Rather she should have discussed it with Julie as hostess when the invite was made and let Julie do the rest. Julie by the way sucks as a hostess. As rude as Juliet was determined to be, Julie played little production driven games that wouldn't have passed at Martha Stewart's farm let alone the great country houses of England. I suspect the producers encouraged the smoking break and Noelle's vapid wander into the kitchen. In general or even specific. The bemused and bewildered wide eyed shots of the old 'Gu's were so edited in for the most part. Loved the fact the kids in the room next door wandering through to the loo. Wonder if they were in-laws the show didn't want or part of the two other groups that seemed to be renting out Mapperton for the day or an event of some sorts. Though even "private" houses supplement by renting out to friends or corporations on a case by case basis. Julie really doesn't feel very secure. I wonder if she kisses up to Annabelle because Annabelle has her own lips firmly but gently pressed against the Countess' ass? She really is nothing but a yes girl to Annabelle. I did love the fact that Annabelle who shows no charm or even a great wit was so confused as to whether she was suppose to be outraged or so burdened with ennui at the classless Juliet. Bitch you wrote this script you keep it straight. As dumb as Noelle is, watching the three bobble heads Julie, Annabelle and Caprice confused whether their heads should collectively shoved up their ass or busy in another orifice was almost amusing. I wonder how many weeks it will take before Caprice completely rewrites the silly 4th incident to where she witnessed everything and it was all about her.

A few years back when he was in that horrifically bad rom com playing the dad (I think it was set in Rome?) Johnson's face was tighter than a tick during the great caribou migration. He actually looks to have stepped back from the needle. He still looks more Asian than he was born looking. Why men think they can have the eyes done to an extreme and nothing else and no one will notice is beyond me

I saw a bit of the re-airing of the polo match episode. Natural light is not the friend of any but Marissa and Juliet (Juliet actually has a no e complexion in natural light) . But poor Annabelle's face looks like a plate of cottage cheese with a layer of Bare Minerals dusted on it.

You are right. The last few years Macys usually runs an ad with white couple and then one with a Black couple. I always enjoyed seeing Andre Douglas in them as he was their go to male model for the black couple. Trips more triggers for me than an NRA convention. This year three different couples all white.

Lenny makes my skin crawl. And could you really have those over bugged eyes and rictus grin on the air? How on earth would you be able to differentiate between his over the top phony attack of the grin and, say, a stroke or massive coronary?

Anyone know who the actor/model is in the Heineken ad is? A friend insists he is someone known. I think he is just random model guy since it is part of the same overall campaign to date and all the people are random. My great aunt thinks it is 'Harry Potter' (D Radcliffe) but we both know that is not the case.

Yeah and what makes the ad worse is it is selling the notion of whipping concealed fat into our eggs to make them more fluffy.

Compilation show is the one left to run in the U.S. if I've matched my counts right

The Texas episode started out really weak. But then when the taxidermist started talking about animals going into rut and Poppy burbles 'I had that once' followed by the reactions of the two guys was hilarious. It is these real moments of unexpected deliberate confusion that make this show work for me.
