S04.E05: Cock Of The Walk

[Silo]

I think he was solely interested in showing off the scratches so someone could inquire about them and he could brag about how they were inflicted in his bedroom. Just like a hyperactive, oversexed teen. Ugh.

So are we at a concensus that Lala was the origin?

[ScoobieDoobs]

Oh man, this show . . . I mean I'm someone who luvs me some great real estate porn.  And what do we get with these chucklefucks' dumps?  Oy, the exact opposite.  

 

Funny thing is, of all all the loser dudes on here, I find Shay the most physically attractive of the bunch.  Don't get me wrong, I don't go for bear types at all, but a lot of ladies & gay gents do.  Well, it's not Shay's doughboy looks that baffle me.  I'm still scratching my head why the hell Scheana married this loser.  I figured she's yet another LA gold-digger, maybe cuz of her rather sleazy backstory with Eddie.  I'm surprised she didn't try to hook up with some slimeball moneybags producer looking for some young ass.  LA is crawling with them.  Shrugging hard -- maybe Scheana is just a loser too & figured she had to settle for this loser cuz she thought she couldn't do any better.

It makes me sad that Kristen got all weepy over James. He really is a kid. I know the term "man-child" to describe most of those guys on this show but James doesn't even get that. He is a kid. There is nothing man like about him. He isn't attractive, at least I don't think so, and he's isn't a decent human being. I mean, I know this show that's not saying much but I laugh sometimes at the things these people say, with James it isn't funny at all. He just grates. And yeah, he clearly just dated Kristen to be on this show- he tried to be friends with FI Tom to get some airtime but that didn't work- because why would he hang out with these people so much older than him? I think that for him is where the disconnect comes in and where it's funny. His behavior is that of a child, because he still kind of is one.

Doobs, I feel like all of these people besides Peter work there like only once a month if that when the show isn't taping. Is the food actually any good? I was working in Beverly Hills in June of 2014 and had to run to a lumberyard and ended up going to one RIGHT NEXT TO SUR, but never stepped foot in the place

 

Well, the food is very meh, the menu is limited & mostly strange and/or blah choices.  Drinks I thought were OK, if a bit pricey.  I tried Lisa's sangria.  Not the best I ever had by far, but OK, not bad.  Each time I went, I went with a different LA-based friend, who had never been there before.  They all dreaded going & I had to drag each of 'em there with me and all vowed NEVER to go back.  Er, why?  Partly cuz my LA friends said it had such an ick, uncool vibe/aura.  Funny, right?  And none of these friends I dragged there with me are hipster/snooty types by any means.  Guess it doesn't help that the food is kinda pricey & meh.

 

Honestly, this time around, my friend was so turned off, we only sat by the bar for a moment & left & got out of there, but not before I saw Peter from a distance, running around.  There was nobody behind the bar.  Way to run a joint, Lisa.

The kid is like 23, right? Kristen is a good 10 yrs. older than him. 23 yr. old guys are still acting like 13 yr olds. We all know this. They must have absolutely nothing in common. Unless Kristen is mentally delayed herself.  She needs to start looking for a guy that has some kind of a future to give.   And why does she keep telling James that he is so gorgeous? I don't care if I was in my 20's again, he would still not be gorgeous. Like Lala, I don't usually go for the stringbeans!

I think it's clear too that Douche Du Jour Muppet Baby dated Kristen because she was supporting his bony ass.  Not only did he get air time on the show but she was picking up all the bills and buying him clothes while he was out "boning" chicks like Jenna. 

 

Andy had better not fuck up the reunion.  He needs to attack James point blank on why he was going after Kristen for cheating when he clearly already had cheated on HER.  And why he was so concerned about Kristen speaking with Jax after they had broken up and he was there with Lala.    I think that made me the angriest for Kristen about the whole thing.  He was just nasty to her about the breakup and then he continued to be a massive ass to her afterwards.  Totally unnecessary.  I was hoping that Kristen DID cheat on him with some guy in Detroit.  (And who knew that Detroit was such a modeling hotspot?  See, you learn something new all the time with VPR!)

 

I like Shay.  He looked fantastic a week or so ago on the After Show.  I think he's a good guy and he was suffering with depression.  At least I hope that was what it was and he's got it under control now.

James was clearly a rebound relationship.  Kristen and Flat Iron broke up and Flat Iron almost immediately hooked up with the Nugget.   I think Kristen was feeling down and alone (because everyone else was shunning her) and James was there.

OMG I forgot to mention her nails. So freaking ugly. Looked the nails on Dracula that Gary Olemam had on the movie.

[yourmomiseasy]

I find Kristen to be less "Special Snowflake" (a la Rocky) and more "Dramatic Icicle with a Vengeance."

 

This is the best ever.  Just liking it was not enough for me.

[WhosThatGirl]

My theory is Sheana wanted a big ole wedding on the show. She is that much of am attention seeker.

 

I agree with your theory. Plus, she also got to have her wedding on TV. Also as much as the show tried to sell me that Sheana footed the bill on all on her own, I think bravo kicked in a little money. I know, that the show showed her "cutting corners" and then not having a cleanup crew the next day, but I don't know. "Reality" on these shows is always something else, and even if she paid on her own, I think she loved that her wedding was on tv. Anyways, re: Shay's drug problem, either it's real and Sheana herself looking less sympathetic towards it or it's a fake problem and Shay's was like, well, why not earn my money on this show? I mean, I have to side eye anything and everything on a reality show these days, since you know, it's all about the ratings and the hashtags. 

[HouseofBeck]

I don't even care what this sounds like, I am now the ultimate Kristen sympathizer. I don't care that she slept with Jax, or about anything else that she has done. Nobody should have to deal with the cruelty that James dished out.

To top that off Jax's behavior was arguably as bad as hers, and Tom & co are friends with him again. James slept with Kristen in Tom's apt and Tom was hugging him in the last episode.

Everyone in this group is disgusting, I'm not sure why Kristen is being singled out. But it makes me sick.

I felt the Kristen sympathy too! I couldn't believe it. I never liked her being singled out for so long when everyone else's vile actions, especially Jax's, are shrugged off. But I still found her a limp string bean of a person herself who kept barreling headfirst into drama. Until now. Now I want them all to rally around her and drive James out.

I miss the cozy dysfunction of several nosejobs ago. :(

But you tell anybody they're crazy for long enough and it'll start messing with their heads. Kristen couldn't even say "Hello" without everyone falling all over themselves moaning in fear and clutching their extremities. Maybe now that will change...

Arrgh! Hate James. People need to stop enabling him. Lala, you played the girl power angle extremely well for the camera, but going back to him just shows him there are no consequences, just like there weren't with Kristen.

"For once I'm not in trouble, so it's interesting." Jax had a few quotes that I found inexplicably funny.

He IS funnier this season, isn't he? Maybe because the pressure, cameras, and storyline are off him more. Even when he implies he wishes he were still prime pickings, it seems halfhearted. Poor feller is all tuckered out! Edited December 2, 2015 by HouseofBeck

Well, I know he's giving me oodles of chuckles, but I'm not so sure Jason/Jax is in on it.  Er, I'm thinking he doesn't get it at all & doesn't quite realize he's way past his prime.  He's wearing those wide, wide, wide open shirts, which merely show off an extremely unimpressive mushy-looking chest.  When they talked about 8 inches, he pretended to open his pants.  He wasn't in on why I laughed my ass off then.  I laughed cuz I figured he's probably got a 2 incher or less.  Nah, for all of Jason/Jax's bluster, I still get some hearty belly-laughs from his bragging, which I don't think he's joking about in the least.  Thanks for the giggles, loser.

Edited December 2, 2015 by ScoobieDoobs

[ScoobieDoobs]

I don't think he was jobless when they got engaged/married, but I'm not positive about that.  I was one of the first ones to roll my eyes at this storyline and think they were either making it up or exaggerating.  But, now I've changed my mind and think there are legit issues going on with Shay.  If he's truly suffering from actual depression or some other (perhaps yet undiagnosed) mental illness, it's definitely not so simple as to tell your partner to get up and get a job. 

 

You make a very valid point . . . and yet I've gone the other way than you.  Thinking about it, I'm more convinced than ever this is a bunch of made-up hooey so Scheana can get some time before the cams to screech & whine & cry & be dramatic.  As I asked before (and in my head, 50 billion times), why'd she marry this guy?  Could she be so blind she didn't notice before the wedding he had drinking problems, drug issues & suffered from depression?  Could she have married the loser only for the wedding, which we can bet was ALL paid for by Bravo?  Eh, I could see Scheana doing  that.  She has said herself, several times this season already, she craves attention.

[ivygirl]

This is the best ever.  Just liking it was not enough for me.

Thanks. :)

Kristen has kinda grown on me. Admittedly I could not STAND her the first season, with all her declarations of how HOTT the SUR crew is. But now, she actually seems to be growing a bit. It's hard for me to completely bag on someone who shows at least some signs of self awareness.

As much as I think she needs to get away from the SUR people for her own sake... I still hope she sticks around, lurking by those dumpsters. :)

[yourmomiseasy]

She's kind of my favorite right now.  Even when she's crazy she's right.  Like when she was all aggro about all of Scheana's friends banging her boyfriends, it seemed totally nuts because she was over the top and blowing up Scheana's phone,  but it was also totally true.

[WhosThatGirl]

You know season 1, I think I watched the show for Stassi. Season 2 I watched for Stassi and Kristen. Season three, I totally watched for Kristen. I feel like without Kristen, this show would be like The Hills. Only sadder because at least with The Hills, they were young 20 somethings doing the stuff that these people at SUR do, and these people at SUR are almost in their 30s or already are and it's like, wow. And Kristen at least makes things fun. I would not want a show without her. 

Edited December 2, 2015 by WhosThatGirl

[yourmomiseasy]

I hate to say this, because I'm the same age, but Jax is actually almost in his 40s.

[ghoulina]

James was clearly a rebound relationship.  Kristen and Flat Iron broke up and Flat Iron almost immediately hooked up with the Nugget.   I think Kristen was feeling down and alone (because everyone else was shunning her) and James was there.

 

I think Kristen wanted to use James to try and make Tom jealous. Or make herself feel better - "Look, I've moved on!" The trouble is, she spent the entire first part of the relationship obsessing about her ex, to the point where the two dudes were getting into brawls with each other. Kristen and James were doomed from the start. 

 

Could she be so blind she didn't notice before the wedding he had drinking problems, drug issues & suffered from depression?

 

Absolutely. This a woman that makes her husband sleep in a ivory, satin bed, with giant pictures of their wedding day looming from all sides. I'm pretty sure Shay could have a second head growing out of his neck and she wouldn't notice unless the head started buying her jewelry and and lavishing her with compliments. 

 

As for why Scheana is with him - A. I don't think he's a loser. But I think Scheana learned from her past that locking down "the bad guy" doesn't work. She's tried dating the hot guy before and it blew up in her face. I think it's pretty simple why Scheana would go for someone like Shay - she feels she will always have the upper hand. She's better looking, more popular, etc. He is LUCKY to be with her. (These are my guesses of HER mentality, by the by, not my thoughts about them.) He's passive and quiet. She can run the show, do whatever she wants, and not have to worry about him out cavorting like Jax or Tom. Shay may not be arm candy, but he gives her peace of mind. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

James is a tool but I do believe he is playing up his douchiness to make sure his scenes get broadcast.

[Ubiquitous]

I can easily see Schena not noticing, given how srlfish she is. I almost used "narcissist", but she's nowhere close to Vicki in RHoOC.

[Drogo]

I believe Scheana married Shay because they find each other attractive, they are affectionate and sweet to one another, he loves her and she loves him. Neither one of them would be my personal pick for a life partner, but "that's what makes horse races."

I have to say as a spouse, I don't give a monkey's butt what color/material my bedding is or what our headboard looks like. My bedroom is significantly less Disney Princess-like- but if it wasn't, no one would have to make me live with it.

[ScoobieDoobs]

A. I don't think he's a loser. 

 

Really?  It's like Scheana & Shay are doing all they can to now paint us a picture of him being the biggest loser ever.  He has no job, no money, Scheana supports him financially, he drinks too much & pops pills.  Doesn't exactly like sound like a winner to me.  Hey, I'm only going by what Scheana is throwing at us.  Last season we hardly heard Shay utter a word & all we knew was he was some sort of music producer.  I would not have assumed him to be a loser, but we knew pretty much nothing about him at all.  Now I'm OK calling him a loser.

[The Mighty Peanut]

I am trying to think of a word that is in between actual child and manchild to describe James. All I can up with is douche, and I am going with it...because like an actual douche, he takes a perfectly good vagina and knocks it off balance.

 

I agree that he hooked up with Kristen for camera time, and that camera time was his original intention with Tom, and that he is putting on a show for camera time, but I think he's also a legitimate asshole. The way he spoke at the therapy session was disrespectful to the therapist as well as Kristen. Then his weird break-up speech--like, he SAW that she was checked out and based on that elected to be as cruel as possible. WTF? Who does this? "I see we're splitting with minimal histrionics, let's see if I can change that." And how messed up is it that Scheana and Katie, after admitting they only were attending this dinner to watch Kristen explode, actually STOOD UP FOR HER when she excused herself and James ridiculously said she was purposely coming on to Jax in front of him to hurt him after James purposely came on to Lala in front of Kristen to hurt her.

 

I solemnly swear never to call James a muppet again. I have too much respect for muppets.

Well, he's suffering from addiction, which can happen to the best of people. So I'm not ready to call someone a "loser" because they're going through a rough time. I don't think he has always been unemployed, and until we hear more about that, I'm not ready to call him a loser for that either. Shay has always come across as very nice and supportive of his wife. We've got James calling women "bitches" and "sluts", cheating on them and then trying to gaslight them. We've got Jax, who steals from work and his friends (and by that, I mean their girlfriends). THOSE are the losers, IMO. Not the quiet guy who is apparently depressed and battling an addiction. 

[ScoobieDoobs]

I agree, it would be troubling (and just plain wrong) to call someone, seriously addicted to drugs & suffering from depression & alcohol issues, a loser.  But now they both deny any of those issues from being the case.  Did you see them on the Aftershow?  Scheana happily said Shay's probs are under control & everything is just fine & dandy.  OK then.  

 

So wtf is going on here?  Me thinks the whole thing was a fakeout.  It could be Scheana is in denial about his ongoing probs, but I don't think so.  My theory is she married a jobless bum, who she's now completely supporting.  No drug probs & no depression & alcohol issues.  All made up for the show & to give Ms, Attention-seeker some cam time.  If this is the case, as I suspect it is, I stand by calling him a loser.

 

I mean seriously, feed a chubby depressed alcoholic addict 1 broccoli omelet & an icky green health drink & all his issues are cured?  Does Scheana think we are as dopey as she is?

Edited December 2, 2015 by ScoobieDoobs

[ghoulina]

Well, the after shows are filmed in current time and these episodes were filmed starting 6 months ago. So I suppose it's possible he is doing better now. Going by the "coming home" scene they filmed, I think Shay's problems were real. His eyes looked very glassy to me. And his tears seemed real. Compare to him on the present after shows, he LOOKS different, and better, to me. 

 

I do think, though, that Scheana has a tendency to gloss over things. Friends have already admitted she doesn't like to talk about her problems. She claims she probably would have continued to keep Shay's issues to herself, except when he left home for that week she could barely hold it together and people were noticing. But it did seem like she wanted things to be back to normal way too soon, instead of facing the reality that Shay's struggle might be filled with lots of ups and downs. 

[BogoGog24]

I don't think it's that hard to believe after all this time after filming ended that he could have gotten better. We haven't seen the rest of the episodes yet to find out if he goes to rehab or something.

[JenE4]

You walk into a hair salon called Trust! and the hairdresser has a Manic Panicked There's Something About Mary afro, you should book it out of there! That being said, Peter's haircut looked good.

Last week Kristin also made broccoli with her eggs Benedict, so now I feel like we have an intimate glimpse of her former relationship with Tom. They can both make a kick-ass breakfast, but which one of them came up with the idea of broccoli alongside their eggs?

James is a terrible, terrible person. But he's "earning" his upgrade to cast member for sure. So, um, way to go, I guess. (shrug) And normally I get annoyed by Jax's manipulation and shit stirring, but I actually laughed about how proud he was of himself for orchestrating that night--even taking a shot while toasting himself in the third person.

[The Mighty Peanut]

Lisa's blog this week is weird. She blames Lala for "falling into Kristen's trap" and believing the things she told Lala. But Kristen was telling the truth. James did call her a slut multiple times. He called her a basic bitch to her face. He used Lala as a prop to hurt Kristen. And he really seems to have serious issues with projection. I don't think the villain in this situation was Kristen.

[Adultosaurus]

I'm actually fairly convinced they aren't even married.  I have grown to be a "reality" cynic - so sorry if this is a tad dramatic.  But I think it was only for the show - there is ZERO evidence that Scheana (that spelling makes zero sense) and Shay share that apartment.  It's ALL her.  Public record search opportunity, if anyone is so inclined :)

Alrighty then, gee thanks, Kristen, Scheana, Shay, Sandoval & the rest of you ass-clowns for my lesson learned here.  

 

And just what is that lesson, dare you ask?  Well, that you can smoke your brains out (looking right at ya, Cigarette Sally), drink like a fish (er, that describes any & all the chucklefucks), eat whatever junk & garbage you can stuff your face with (and/or eat a steady diet of the shit food in Lisa's restaurants).  But if you eat a teeny-tiny bit of broccoli with your eggs, then you will be completely HEALTHY in body & mind. . . and you will be instantly cured of drug addiction, depression & alcoholism.  Um, yeah, OK.  Guess it wards off cancer too?  Sandoval should fix one of his omelets for Yolanda & then maybe Brooks.

Dear James, shut the fuck up and stop wearing red lipstick.

That made me snort-laugh out loud! Only because I watch with my bestie and he says, "The asshole with the dimple? His makeup is too loud!"

[WhosThatGirl]

You know, I just realized why the breakup scene upset me so much and makes me realize why James is so awful. Other than him being delusional about himself and his DJING dreams, the thing that pisses me off is that he ENJOYED causing Kristen pain. Say what you will about Flat Iron Tom and Schwartz, but I think FI really felt bad for Kristen when Stassi was railing into her when the truth was revealed in the season 2 finale and even if Other Tom cheated on Katie, I do believe him when he said he hated making her sad. Even Jax, who I think is just really an idiot, doesn't like to see girls crying. James enjoyed it. When Kristen walked away crying, he was shouting about his date the next night. It's things like that that make me wonder how ANY GIRL would ever date him after seeing that. 

[ghoulina]

Yea, James is just truly sadistic. It's not enough to have a regular "You shut up!", "No, you shut up!" fight. He will push ALL your mother fucking buttons and hit you where it hurts. He's vile. 

[The Mighty Peanut]

Yes, exactly. Kristen is like "your dick is stupid" and James says she'll never find a guy like him because she's an aging has-been with no real friends, intelligence, or redeeming qualities. Then he ads that he is hot and has great hair and repeats how she's never gonna fuck his hotness ever again. I am really perplexed by him. He does resemble a string bean, but like a string bean on Sesame Street with googly eyes talking about the letters D and J. Cute, but no one to take seriously. 

[AbsoluteShower]

Also, she should take notice of that fugly shirt he wore on their cheeseburger date. It looked like a flock of pigeons had relieved themselves on him. No. Just no. 

 

It's either fugly shirts or sleeveless vests with James. It's a total lose-lose situation...

[Panda Bear]

I hate James, but I find him so entertaining. The way he was dramatically smoking that cigarette and telling Kristen she was never going to have any of "this" (gesturing to his muppet face with wonky eyes) made me laugh so hard.

It takes more than broccoli omelets washed down with green health drinks to kick an addiction -- it requires a make-over, if next week is an accurate indicator.

 

I couldn't help but laugh at successful entrepreneur Lisa Vanderbucks announcing it's time for their annual half-assed attempt at pandering for gay pride. How are they going to top last year's effort, a flatbed trailer with pink feather boas stapled to it?

Okay, so the best moment of the night was clearly when Lisa spied Jax walking around with a box of wine and immediately thought he was trying to pilfer it. "Jax, where are you going?" Bahahahaha

I'm assuming that Lisa does not see the irony of getting a professional sommelier in to try and teach the dumdums about wine, while at the same time serving boxed wine at her restaurant...

What cheesy pop song is Scheana going to sing for this one? (I kind of have to admit I think her songs are catchy though) I thought it was hilarious I think in season 2 when she sang that "Good As Gold" one and all of the SURvers got so annoyed hearing it over and over. Hee.

While I wouldn't put it past her, I didn't mean boxed wine. I thought he was carrying a box of wine bottles? Like from a supplier? But I admittedly wasn't paying rapt attention.

Yes you were! It was totally a case of bottles

It takes more than broccoli omelets washed down with green health drinks to kick an addiction -- it requires a make-over, if next week is an accurate indicator.

Best post in this entire thread! Hilarious!

Lala and James are HOT! I´m only 5 or so minutes into the show and I just love it. Kristen is at the door.....!!! Even Lisa is looking good!

That was a box of bottles, but now that you mention it, bringing in a sommelier (I was sure someone would wonder why a sleep walker was lecturing them about wine), especially when he essentially told them it doesn't matter which wine is selected ( as long as it's the expensive stuff)!

Didn't someone go into hysterics b/c Schena was applying sunscreen to her boyfriend?

It was in season 1 and it was Stassi freaking out about the "homewrecking whore" putting sunscreen on Jax. And for some reason Kristen was also offended by it and inserted herself into the drama like she always does.

Thanks for the explanation.  I was wondering what boxed wine was & if it would be seeping thru the wood or cardboard.  Do you need a straw for boxed wine?  I could so see Kristen looking for any possible leaking wine -- surely ready with her own straw.  Hmmm, she needs any excuse to be back at SUR, right?

 

I like that gal Rachel.  When she & Kristen looked around the dive bar they were sitting in & see some old drunk, face down in his drink, Kristen could barely open her eyes.  Well, Rachel said it was noon & that's way too early for Kristen to be awake.  And Rachel said to Kristen, "These are our people."  Yup,  Oh, and was that dive bar outside?  Only in LA.  Well, maybe South Beach too.

When you hear "boxed wine", think of a big juice box (Capri Sun) in a box so it can be stacked. Hee hee, I can see Kristen volunteering for inventory duty in the hopes she finds a leaky box.
