Reality TV Week of 6/15

VPR Reunion part 3
I really hoped Andy would have some sort of new info at the end, like that the show as we know it was over and that it would come back with a focus on TomTom or something, but alas my hopes were dashed. It's really weird watching it all knowing what we know now about the firings, Stassi being pregnant, etc. 

Some thoughts-
-Way to go Ariana for robot Jax. I thought the montage from every reunion saying he new he had work to do was appropriate. 
-I am no fan of Lauren from Utah (LFU) but the fact that Rand paid for Jax to go to a great therapist and he didn't show was awful. I wish they'd pulled on that thread more instead of it getting lost in the rest of the yelling.
-I thought it was extremely unfair of Lisa to lay into Dannica about being on the floor when she's "explosive" when Jax has been working there for years. Granted Dannica is a manager, but still. So much of a double standard for the women compared to the men.
-I didn't realize Jax doesn't watch the show. Maybe that's why he never changes? If you never see how you act, how can you ever reconcile your behavior? 
-Brittany is clueless. Why does she think just because she's married to him that she has to defend all of his behavior? If he's awful call him out on it. 
-I can't believe I'm going to say this because I want to hate him, but I feel like I want to like Rand. He seems like he might be a decent guy. Sure he is using his money to get a younger, attractive (would be more attractive if she'd lay off the damn fillers) woman but paying for someone to go to therapy when that person isn't exactly hurting for money is nice. 
-And lastly - Jax making Dayna's discussion about the pain of losing her mother about him - WHEN HIS MOM IS NOT DEAD - was vile.

Oh and apparently Rand has unfollowed Jax on IG but Jax still follows Rand.

I haven’t seen episode 3 yet, but I don’t believe for one minute than Jax doesn’t actually watch the show. He is WAY too narcissistic.

[Jalapeñomel]

I refuse to watch the reunion after they fired people but then NEVER SAID ANYTHING PUBLICLY ABOUT IT. So you want to fire people, fine but don’t really-la-la like nothing’s changed.

I did watch all of the 90 Days this week: Happily Ever After, Pillow Talk, and The Other Way.

[morecoffeeplease]

I haven't watched 3 yet but I have a feeling Jax will lose his shit when he realizes Rand and Lance won't go down with him and will walk away from him.

[thelurkylulu]

I’m wondering what’s going to happen with Cheyenne & Corey filming Teen Mom. I can’t imagine him continuing to do it since they fired Taylor. But will Cheyenne do it without them?

[morecoffeeplease]

This is an off topic, on topic rant. One of the reasons why Andy isn't shit is because his response to issues that pop up are "I'm not in charge of programming at Bravo anymore." We all know for a fact that if he would voice his opinion, Bravo would listen.

Lance Bass even called him out on that exact thing earlier this week.

And Andy just shrugs his shoulders and acts like there isn't anything he can do. He sure does use the HV and Bravo to continue his fame but acts like he has no way to help.

I’m sure she’ll still film and eventually Corey is gonna need money too for two kids and no MTV work.

Except I’m sure he has clout and can do something if he wanted too. He like the pay check.

[Jalapeñomel]

Also, the only reason Alex does what he does is because he’s loaded. He’s not attractive, he’s not nice, he doesn’t have a good job.

I just don’t understand the appeal to having money but being treated like dirt. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Peter, a sexist dudebro from below deck med, has been fired for racially insensitive posts and he'll be mostly edited out of episodes still in post production, but I find nowhere that mentions what he actually wrote.

Repeatedly calling your superior (or anyone, really) sweetie/ sweetheart was enough for me to write him off. Then showing douchebro gym pics to lara whose name he still couldn't figure out sealed the deal.

Omg! He’s been driving me insane with his misogyny

I had not heard this - good riddance!

Jalapeñomel, Alex from which show?

[morecoffeeplease]

Remember Siggy from RHONJ? I saw her IG today. She's a huge trumper and her IG is very intense.

She talks of being on the trump train, talks shit on the main stream media, calls liberals sheep, has memes about people blaming everything on trump. It's something, that's for sure.

Siesta Key on MTV

[morecoffeeplease]

I don’t watch 90 day fiancé but Jax sent offensive messages to one of the people. Also, Randall stopped following him on IG.

[brooke77]

I watched 90Day the Other Way last night. This season looks good. I was disappointed with Before the 90 Days.

I really hope Jenny & Sumit make it work. They seem to genuinely love each other. He needs to get divorced ASAP though or else she will just need to leave again, right? I also really hope Armando & Kenneth work out. They seem to be another genuine couple. I have such a soft spot for Jihoon, but OMG I can see how he drives Deavan insane. No job and he plans to support a family of 4? I do not see Brittany and Yazan working out. He’s expecting to get married and her divorce will take a year?

Rumor has it that Brittany is the actor this season.

Also, I read Armando’s story on IG on how his ex-wife died. I’ll spoil it if you want to know. It’s very sad.

[Jalapeñomel]

Also, the stuff Jax was saying was to Jay from 90 Day Fiancé.

Again, why hasn’t he been fired? Is he that good for VPR??

I hope Jenny and Summit work out too. It took a lot of strength for him to go against his family. I hope they make it.

I really dislike Deavan. I think she knew who he was, but had unrealistic expectations. They hardly knew each other when she got pregnant and I don’t think there was any real reason to believe he was going to grow up and start supporting a family of 4. Even if he said so, the writing was on the wall there.
Side note, she always looks so disheveled to me and her room this episode makes me cringe, so much stuff everywhere.

I like Brittany, that relationship is not going to work out. I hope she cuts her loses fast.

The pregnant girl who is going to have her baby overseas, can’t remember her name. She’s nuts, this is his family 2.0 with a quick pregnancy. She’s in for a very rude awakening. She seems like her parents indulge her too much.

Love Kenneth and I hope things work out for him. I hate that he is leaving his family though. I would be just as upset as they were.

[NomadicMama]

Corey will continue to film because he needs the money. It will likely mean he spends more time at Cheyenne’s house.

90DF Happily Ever After…I want to know what Elizabeth /Libby ever saw in Andrei. He is a first rate ass. He argues with everyone and does his best to pick fights with her family. To be planning a wedding in Moldova and expect her dad, whom he hates, to pay for it us next level unrealistic.

I really want to hate him but he actually seems like an okay guy. And the way he handled James was very respectful. I am also proud of James! I think he just celebrated a year sober so good on him.

Dannica just needs to be fired but I am assuming Lisa is keeping her own to help save the show which is sinking by the day. Her behavior is so horrendous and Lisa is just a straight up hypocrite. Sniper from the side, lol.

[morecoffeeplease]

I think in the last thread I said Andy isn't shit. I'm putting Lisa in that too. Lisa sucks.

[Deleted]

Just saw this "blind" on Bravo Snark Side. I put blind in quotes because there's no question who it's about.

True. Sure she gets credit for her work with dogs and not being an anti gay bigot like others in the housewives universe, but that's a pretty low bar.

So, it would be vpr without vpr. I don't see how that would work on a couple levels. She loves the fame and drama. It's her name, her restaurants. Does bravo own the name of the show legally? I would be surprised if she trademarked her name. Can that be done? Im thinking cher and madonna surely have protections, but it's not like people can't name their kid cher (hello, sMothered in here) and a bajillion paintings aren't going to be name Karen and child. Would vpr not be a liability in reputation alone? Even TLC renamed their Duggar show after doing damage control.

What? That actually surprises me. Figuring she is the child and grandchild of a Holocaust survivors.... wtf. Ugh.
