S10.E09: The Birds & the B's


Recommended Posts

(edited)

Poor, delusional, pathetic Shep chasing after a young girl who is playing him. She was on Raya (the dating app for celebrities) to meet people like him and Whitney.

He was looking for his peer, but she's so much better than him! He claimed.

The guys are not aging well.

Austen needs to stop rolling his eyes so much when Craig discusses his (future) engagement to Paige.

Shep has had an eye lift and new teeth?  I haven’t noticed.  I do think his hair when combed and greased down (looks like it) is not a good look.  Maybe an updated style would help?  And yeah, the girl doesn’t seem too excited about their visit.  lol

Whitney sounded drunk (slurred words) at his mom’s dinner for the guys.  And what’s with the Grand Inquisition of Craig?  Maybe that is done every year at this dinner; I don’t remember, but I wanted him to tell them to mind their own business.

That is the business, of this show.  Every dinner, every party, every event is staged for the show.  It’s not like they’re organically having a dinner party and the camera crew is invited along to film behind the curtain.

The whole purpose of the dinner was to interrogate Craig and Shep about their relationships, which are key story lines of this season.  Other scenes in the episode also touch on their relationship, Shep FaceTiming Sienna, Craig and Paige at the farm, posing for photo ops before they have this pointed exchange about their relationships”future.”

These are all fictional relationships, concocted so that the show would have things for the cast to discuss.

Want to know how staged things are?  Austen and Madison go to a fancy bar to have a convo and order glasses of champagne.  How classy right, how affluent they must be?  Then they each order a different drink and mostly drink these second drinks, leaving the champagne untouched.  Don’t matter, the drinks might as well be props and they’re not paying for them.

Everyone presses Craig on when he’d get engaged and he finally says end of this year.  He probably knows the breakup to this fake relationship will inevitably happen.

As for Shep, he can’t be naive.  He knew Sienna was on Raya, maybe even that she approached Whitney?  Why wouldn’t he be suspicious of that?  This show already had one young woman who got on the show by pursuing more than one cast member.  Hell it was what got the show noticed in the first season.

This is why he’s playing along and when he and Craig have their hearts broken on the show maybe they will come across as genuinely hurt.  Then we’ll find out they’re over it quickly, supposedly dating other young women already, not long after their breakups air on the show.

Why are these people such ass kissers with Patricia and Whitney aside from the fact that she is rich? I find her to be an awful person. They constantly brag about how rich they are under the guise of showing their “refinement.” She feels entitled to take a joyride in her Rolls when she cannot see, almost running over a woman and her dog and they all laugh about it? And the big issue is she damaged the rims?

Nobody in this franchise is likable.

When Miss Pat was showing off her Napoleon china, I laughed at Craig’s little, “Oh. I shouldn’t be trusted with this.” Yet, in a turn of events, Whitney broke something this time. Whelp, I guess the house and everything in it supposedly belongs to him now. You know as soon as Miss Patricia passes, all of her antiques are gone! He probably has the decorator who did the carriage house on retainer. You see the obituary, it’s like the Bat signal to get to work. Also, have we ever seen Whitney this drunk?!? Miss Pat trying to pretend he’s “tired” and “jet lagged.”

Shep’s girlfriend couldn’t be more disinterested! Haven’t really had time to think about your visit. You’re the busiest woman in the Northern Hemisphere! Actually, I have all the time in the world. She couldn’t even muster the slightest sense of excitement to see him. If her endgame is to be on TV, why would she not at least fake it while on TV?! She had to have known they were filming? I don’t think Shep actually loves her, I think he loves the idea of moving his life of leisure to a tropical locale. He wants to “retire” from doing nothing all day and going to the same sad bars for 25 years and instead do nothing all day on a beach. He talks about fishing all day and having kids run around on the beach. Sure, a vacation every day sounds great.

Speaking of men who cannot see that their partners don’t want the future with them that they envision… Oh, Craig. She basically gave you the ultimatum: If you want kids tomorrow, you need to leave. But even just seeing her terrified of these bees and yet sort of going along with it, if you want bees, get bees… The talk about having a farm, etc. She doesn’t want the same things. She doesn’t want to stop YOU from having that, either, if that’s what you want. But that’s going to be YOUR bees, YOUR farm, not OUR home.

Who would’ve thought the most compatible “couple” would be Austen and Madison! They seemed like they could barely stand each other while they were dating, but I guess removing the pressure of having to remain faithful/not acting like a banshee, they refound the core of what they originally liked about each other in friendship. Or, maybe they can just manage to hold it together for an hour here or there. But with all of the fractured relationships—dating and friendships—they are currently the most solid relationship on the show.

Is this maybe just an orchestrated segment of his redemption tour? Begin the season with the therapy sessions, changed man, etc., and now he gets to be dumped. It garners him some sympathy, and then he gets to play the heartbroken man at the bar. Plus, SHE’S the villain because she was just using poor Shep for fame (although to me she looks like she’s in permanent fight-or-flight mode and would rather never see a camera). Anyway this makes no sense. And this season is a snooze. And everything is fake.

To add to that, Patricia is very rich and likes vintage furniture.  Those chairs they were sitting on probably from the Civil War, needed refurbishment.  She could have been sitting on one that fell apart and broke her back.  Whitney probably had the rag on and was very rude to everyone.  He wasn’t in the mood for idle chat.  What’s with Austin?  He’s mum.

They all met on Raya. Sienna, and Whitney, and Shep.

If Paige is dragging her heels about marriage, maybe we will see Naomi come into the picture?  I can’t believe Craig was willing to move to NewYork for Paige.  Wouldn’t that be enough for her?  How much does she love him?  Not enough.  Three years is enough already.

Naomi supported Craig on social media.

Naomi supporting Craig on social media to me says she finally realizes she let a good one slip away. Worse, she pushed him away, ridiculing his sewing & publicly demeaning him. 

My prediction is that Paige may later regret her decision as well...if she really desires to marry & start a family. Marriage & kids aren't for  everyone though & I get the sense she doesn't really know what she wants yet. 

In any case, compared to what's out there, Craig's a good catch & to quote Miranda (Sex and the City) "his light is on", he's ready. I predict he'll be married within two years, just hope it isn't to some tw*t.

Whitney's starting to look so very old. Watching him go ass over teakettle was the episide highlight. Surprised he didn't fracture a hip.

Whitney looked like  a drunk new born chick. I loved when he fell off his chair, the back broke on it. He hasn't  aged well.

Craig looked  handsome  tonight, loved his deep blue suit/ tux.

Shep, she's  just not into you. Everyone  can see it but you pal. 

Eta: I thought the photos of Molly were so nice,  the camera loves her.

Patricia needs to put those antique chairs away and get some solid furniture.  Someone could get seriously hurt. Including her.  Of course, I laughed when Whitney fell.  When he left the party for a few minutes, I thought he left to do a line of coke.  

I also like how the serial single guys were harping on Craig about getting married.  Like Austin, Whitney, and Craig are ones to give relationship advise.

A catch in what sense?

He's somewhat well known reality TV star with some side businesses?

He's been connected to some attractive women who were also on the same TV shows as him?

Thing is, the women he's been linked to didn't seem to have been gaga for him.  Somehow they have no problems letting him go.  If he's such a catch, one of them would have tried to hang on to him?

He's prime marriage age too, never having been married, should have some money assuming he's not blowing it all.

His personality, got a sense of entitlement and probably expects women to throw themselves at him since he's been on TV for a relatively long time.  That is why he goes on Raya, probably thinks women who otherwise wouldn't be interested in him will now target him as a "celebrity."

Seems like away from the cameras, he's not compelling enough for these women to want to stick around.  Paige said she's 31 but if she really wants to have children, she's kind of going down to the wire.  Plus, she can't count on her looks too much longer, barring plastic surgery.

Yet for the 3 years they invested, she abruptly walked away, supposedly because she's such a businesswoman who has too many opportunities going on right now.

That's the cover story.

Or maybe the whole relationship was a cover story and she got bored of it and bored of him.

Shep looks old.  Living off his big check every month, sleeping late after drinking all night.  No job.  Who lives like that?  What would women see in him?  Guess the doctor told him to stop drinking so much to save his life.  He looks like shit lately.

Craig is a man who needs a whole lotta love and attention from his partner.  Both Naomi and Paige are kind of prickly and seem quite adverse to "romance".  Maybe he needs to be more aware next time and go for a different type because this isn't working for him.

I think the sun was still up at Miss Pat's party and they made Whitney get out of his coffin too early.  The light was throwing him off.  Nobody likes to be around a senile old vampire......but he does make for good t.v.!

Am I wrong that there was no Taylor this episode?? Oh well, the old wet blanket gets to go to the Bahamas apparently.  The life of the party, that one.

Probably because Whitney, as producer, is their boss.

So true. Craig is getting better and better imo, just needs to choose more carefully if he wants to get married and have a family.

Was Taylor the one freaking out over the spider and trying to vacuum it up?  I literally can't be bothered to keep all the rando blondes separate anymore (although I do like Molly).

I cannot stand Patricia.  I don’t understand why she is celebrated.  She brags about her money and her little twit son.  Who in this day and age thinks anyone cares about how much money she has?!  

And Madison is the biggest kiss up I’ve ever seen on Bravo and that’s saying something.  Patricia is not friends with you, she treats you like the help, and she’s not leaving you any money, idiot.

She doesn’t love him she doesn’t even like him.  She seems annoyed by his presence.  No idea why she kept up the relationship for so long except for the fact that she got to be on his show.  And she’s a major famewhore.

She thinks very highly of herself.  She acts like she’s the smartest person in the room.  Her being on tv has given her quite the ego boost.  I can’t wait for her downfall.
