Reality TV 10/14

[Jalapeñomel]

Unexpected: I hate how ignorant these girls are regarding their bodies. I have no idea how you mistake semen for amniotic fluid or urine. I can’t blame Alex for not wanting to move into a house with three young women, three babies, and their grandmother.

[Jalapeñomel]

OMG Chloe is stupid. Max has a substance abuse problem, he needs rehab.

[jinkies]

I am really excited for the 90 Days The Other Way tell-all tonight. I saw a clip of Corey and Evelin and it is so cringeworthy and the part I saw is not even the worst part of their interview.

[Jalapeñomel]

OMG, Tim gave Jennifer his ex’s ring??

[joy]

McKayla - mother of two - will arise at 9am on Sunday.

To curl her hair.

[joy]

I have tried to defend Chloe but my gosh. Max is a drug addict. A real one. Whatever that means. I actually feel for her about prom because teenage girl. But any anger not directed at Max is misguided.

No wonder Jessica is exasperated all. the. time.

I used to feel for her, but now she just frustrates me. She relies on her grandparents far too much. Where did she get the money for that purse or bag that bought herself??

Darcey continues to amaze me. She is so sad and cringe worthy in all that she does. Also, i am so sick of seeing her boobs out all the time. Did she get new ones? I don't remember her boobs being out so much last time.

I’m guessing she thinks a “real” drug addict is like the crackhead on the corner, selling sex for drugs.

Pretty sure everything on her is bought. She should spend more money on her hair extensions though.

[cleo29]

Jalapeñomel, I would settle for them just being shorter. I think she would look better with shorter hair, a sleek long bob would be far more flattering.

[cleo29]

Anyone catch Temptation Island??

[cuadrado]

Married 2 Medicine:
I thought it was hilarious when Simone was talking to her sons about STDs.
Dr. Jackie's friendship activities are getting a little old. Mariah is right that nothing ever changes with them.
Toya and her husband seem like the perfect example of people who mismanage money. Yeah, they paid off their taxes, good for them. But does that mean you have to turn around and build a 9,000 square foot house, get a brand new Porsche SUV, etc.?

Below Deck seems to be a snooze fest this season

RHOC: Emily was on WWHL and acknowledged that Shane is a giant tool on the show. Her explanation was that he flat out doesn't want to filmed and doesn't like being on TV. So WHY would you agree to be filmed? Doesn't make sense to me. I really dislike Tamra more and more every season, and Shannon's 'fun' act seems more and more fake. It's sad that Gina is drinking the Tamra/Shannon koolaid.

RHOD: I love how open Stephanie is being about her mental health and depression. I hope it helps anyone watching who is also struggling.

I think they are not together. She hadn’t posted anything with him since June but then puts up a picture of the whole family. I bet it is a distraction.

I like Shannon. I am kind of eh about Tamra. But I think Gina is hanging with Shannon because she has more empathy for Gina than her ‘BFF’ Emily so can’t understand why Gina didn’t want to go to Vegas.

Me! It’s going to be a very interesting season (especially after seeing the previews).

I forgot it started!

RHOC - all of these people are super unlikable.

Generally I don’t mind Emily and find her to be one of the least irksome. But last night Emily was being deliberately obtuse. Of course Gina was annoyed and should have been annoyed. Just so needy and whiny and refusing to see why someone would be upset. And if someone is your friend, don’t set them up with some random dude whose relationship status you don’t know. Or anyone who is related to Shane, really, because he’s awful.

[meowmaps]

Possibly relevant to this thread - Bravo is bringing back Blind Date on November 18. I've never been more excited for a reboot!!! I loved that show. I wonder if Roger Lodge will be back.

Eta: I just googled him and he's the younger brother of OC's Vicki's fiancé Steve.  What?!?!

Right!? How hard would it have been to say ‘hey do you have a girlfriend?’ I mean, he might have lied but at least you asked. I also think it says a lot about her when she says she doesn’t have time for this petty bullshit when she is referring to someone she considers her BFF and when Gina doesn’t really have petty bullshit going on.

Emily is awful. Shane is worse and she needs to cut him loose.

I am still watching last nights episode, but I agree about Emily. It is annoying that she can't seem to see Gina's point of view.

There is also nothing I loathe more on these shows when someone gets super dramatic and makes themselves out to be the victim when they’ve hurt someone. Emily is the one in the wrong, it’s okay for Gina to be upset but somehow it becomes all about Emily crying and whining in the bathroom over it all. Shut up, Emily. You were a jerk and instead of making excuse after excuse while sobbing because Gina is rightfully upset, apologize and realize you were wrong. Lord.

Even in the text messages, she had no clue. A simple, "I am so sorry Gina. I had no idea he had a girlfriend as I had never met her much less heard about her."

It is not complicated.

Cory from Teen Mom/Road Rules/Real World/the Challenge (one of those shows lol) is expecting a baby with his GF from Ex on the Beach, Taylor.

I don’t really believe she didn’t know. At the very least, I think she found out after she set them up but still said nothing. I mean, if I set someone up with my BFF and they bailed on her I would call them out and find out why. But I also wouldn’t set someone up without asking the important questions ‘do you have a wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other/seeing anyone else’ like you said ‘its not complicated’.

Yeah, he's one of those guys.  THis is gonna burn his ex who is dying for another baby.

90 Days The Other Way…I am not a fan of Evelin. She repeatedly says how the man should provide for the woman, but she’s bleeding Corey dry. And, if they split up, she thinks she should get to keep everything he’s purchased for their life together. I get the strong feeling that she likes him but loves what he provides. She puts conditions on her love and her willingness to marry him. Corey needs to get what money he can and get out of there!

Laura is in way over her head. Aladin will not accept anything from her except subservience. He demands respect and goes off the rail when he doesn’t get it. I don’t understand how those two ever got together.

Tiffany has put herself in a difficult situation. Ronald will likely never get a visa to move to the US and she’s not keen on relocating to South Africa to live with her husband who will likely struggle to support his family. She’s now got two kids to think of and she keeps putting herself first. Her tears about Ronald not getting see his daughter annoyed me. These were all her choices to make.

I completely agree with you. None of these women are entertaining to watch. 

I'm so happy ATL and NJ will be back soon.

I agree. She also qualified it as "i never met her", but did you hear about her?? How do you get to know someone and not learn this about them?

But, for arguments sake, if she truly did not know, then just own it and apologize and realize how a person getting divorced, in part due to their spouse's affair, is going to be pretty fucking fragile.

Did anyone watch RHOD last night?

I can't decide whether I like the new Cary. Sometimes it's nice to see someone calling people out on their stuff, but LeeAnne's bachelorette party wasn't the right place or time. On the flip side of that, I felt bad for Cary when she was trying to share what happened in her childhood and LeeAnne immediately compared how her abuse was worse.

I love Stephanie. Kameron was unreasonable in their conversation.

[bex1973]

Anyone watching Survivor this season? I like the Island of the Idols feature (so far).

I can't stand Kameron. She's totally nonsensical and just so stuck up. Stephanie is my favorite anyway.
