the stuffed dog! the skinned dog! the 90,000 sq. ft. house! fur coat on a boat! the fridges! the painting of her and the h on the horse! the painting of him as a king! omg. dead.
i don't even know what i want to say about this mess. how do you even form a response? while touring the unfinished home she walked up a staircase and said, "this is the staircase i would take if i ever wanted to visit the children." the poor nanny that lives in the tiny playhouse! nuts. it's all nuts.
I felt terrible for the nanny. She hadn't seen her own children in 11 years! Heartbreaking.
I couldn't get over the skinned and stuffed dogs. Blech. That house just seemed so filthy. Why do they eat McDonald's ALL THE TIME? How the hell did he cause Bush to get into office (which is such a crazycakes thing to say)?
oh and probably the best part: the h's alleged illegal involvement in getting bush re-elected! WHY would he even say that? just so proud of himself i guess?
and lol that timeshare salesmen are saving lives. just like the police and firemen!
Those people were messed up in the head. I cannot even fathom the amount of hubris that husband has. And the house was sooo damn gaudy! Money obviously can't buy good taste.
My biggest what the what moments were when she found out that a rental car doesn't come with a driver (especially since she wasn't born into a luxurious lifestyle) and when their finances were ruined and they still had that huge storage space filled to the brim with stuff that they could have auctioned. Overall I thought that her heart was in the right place in most things, and I was annoyed when she gave her friend money to save her house and received no gratitude AND HAD TO CALL HERSELF to find out what happened. Geesh.
I feel sorry for the wife. Her heart seemed to be in the right place, though she's incredibly naive and ridiculous. The H is pretty despicable to me, what a self-loving asshole.
the state of that house once all of the maids and nannys left was just horrid.
and the poor lizard and fish! those kids are pretty worthless. the lizard didn't even have water! wtf. i also thought it was unfortunate when jackie spoke about her kids going to college. it was obvious college was not in the plans as long as there was money for them to live off of. she seemed upset about having to tell her kids that they would need to figure out what they wanted to do with their lives.
and i wonder what the poor nanny thinks. she needed to save money to go home, but they have a storage space filled with antiques and a garage full of 50 bikes.
I watched this a couple months back and became obsessed. I read somewhere that the poor thing was a bit of an act. Most things put up for auction were repurchased by David under a partners name for pennies on the dollar. He supposedly didn't want the ph deal anymore because he wanted out of Vegas and already had the flamingo timeshare thing going. I actually kind of liked David in a way. But those kids are going to be majorly screwed up.
I saw this. It was fascinating and definitely reinforced the cliche (which is true) that money can't buy happiness. I'd rather be struglling in my current life than a part of that freakshow. The rich are different, indeed.
1) Every time they pronounced the "s" in Versailles, I died a little.
Snort.
I love that they were inspired by Versailles....and then copied the top three floors of a cheesy hotel in Vegas. It just screams Klassy to me.
I haven't finished watching it yet but I cringed super duper hard when David's son was telling his sales people "You are like doctors! Vacations save lives! Go out and save a life today!"
lol I know.
I don't think Jackie is as innocent as she wants to seem. If you can see that your family is in serious financial trouble, getting things like botox and whatnot shouldn't be happening. Also, her behavior at the car rental place cracked me up and made go "whut!?" because it's not like she was born and raised seriously wealthy. Also, her boobs were ridiculous.
