It Finally Happened!!

Someone finally acknowledged the fact that they are on a taped tv show during a fight!!

So I was watching Bad Girls Club and ridiculous crap was happening. As usual, the extra crazy one did something extra crazy while she was allegedly too drunk to remember. (BTW, I really thought Judi was going home this week and am disappointed!!).

So Judi broke some glass and unmade someone's bed when she was trashed. The next morning she denied it even though Baby watched the entire thing. The next morning Baby confronted Judi the next morning. Judi continued to deny it at which point Baby said "there are tv cameras!!!". Thank you, Baby!! Thank you for finally acknowledging that lying on a tv show just doesn't work. (See: Ronnie lying to Sammi) I've always wondered why no one remembers you can't lie when your life is being documented.

Dream come true.

New Guilty Pleasure

I am starting to feel a moral obligation to the readers to keep you up to date on the latest in awesome television.

My new favorite show comes to us from Lifetime: Dance Moms.

I don't watch Toddlers and Tiaras but I assume it's similar. The drama between the moms could rival Real Housewives, but the interviews with the girls make the show more ridiculous.

Bad Girls Club Season 7 started on Monday and from what I can tell it's going to be amazing. Also Jersey Shore starts on Thursday. Woop Woop!

RHONJ is back, b*tches!

I'm going to be honest. Like many other trash tv loving Americans, I didn't watch Real Housewives of New Jersey until I saw a promo for a full blown table flip in the first season finale. Craziest dinner party moment of RH history? Yes. So I watched semi-religiously for Season 2. I set my DVR for this week's Season 3 premiere after hearing out effing crazy it was going to be.

Wow. The 2 new housewives they added to the mix stir up drama that makes Danielle look like a middle school girl. Teresa's brother is SO over the top. I've never seen a reality star play it up for the cameras this much.

The episode mostly revolved around Teresa's nephew's christening and the fights that broke out. Can you imagine? Even though I'm Jewish, I've been to a few Italian family baptisms, but no one ever invited SO many people or went SO all out. Here are my two favorite moments:

1) The blurry face guy getting up on a table to scream that it's a effing kids christening. "If you don't like it, get out!" Wow. Not surprised his face was blurred, would anyone want people to know it was them?

2) When Joe (Teresa's brother) flipped his crap in the lobby and started yelling at his sickly father in English and Italian. It sounded like a mix between a scene from the Godfather, a cat fight from Bad Girls Club and a Maury paternity test show all wrapped into one. And if you know anything about me, you know I love all 3 of those things separately.

So, go watch it on Hulu or on a Bravo marathon. It won't disappoint.

BTDubs, all of us Vixens have been busy rounding out our semesters. And special shout out to LegalVixen who is graduating from law school on Saturday. Wooop Woop!

Thoughts on The Donald

Per usual, Donald Trump is in the news a lot lately. I'm not a huge fan, but he is a genius when it comes to casting Celebrity Apprentice.

Celebrity Apprentice: this season is awesome. I thought having Cyndi Lauper on was genius, but the Gary Busey-Meatloaf, Nene-Latoya Jackson combos? Amazing. I am a huge fan of Nene and I appreciate her brutal honesty. Gary Busey I feel bad for, but if I had that many traumatic brain injuries, I'd hope to be exiled to a really nice island where I wouldn't embarrass myself too much. Being on national prime time reality tv? Not a good life choice.

Presidential Run: Really? This morning I heard him say on the Today show that he feels like the world is laughing at our country. What is everyone's reaction to your presidential run? Wanting to see Obama's birth certificate?! Really people? I can't help but assume this whole birth certificate is a racist thing.

Feud with Bill Cosby: Who the eff feuds with Cliff Huxtable? I can understand his feud with Rosie O'Donnell and who ever else, but Bill Cosby?

I can't wait for his new hair style that Oprah is making him get on her show.

End Rant. :)

Really? People?

Has anyone else noticed when reality stars blatantly lie and forget they're being FILMED?

It's 2011. Reality programming is NOT new.

Exhibit A) Ronnie of Jersey Shore in Miami
Ronnie, did you really think Sam would never watch an episode where you were making out with girls that weren't her?

B) Adam on Real World Las Vegas (2011)
I dislike Adam on so many levels, but his crowning achievement of dbaggery is that he will use the SAME pick up line on two different girls within minutes. Also, do girls really fall for the "I'm a loser, but love me" routine?

Those are the first two that come to mind right now.

Bottom line, you can't blame the editing. I can't imagine that these guys are dumb enough to really forget about the cameras and just hope that their antics hit the cutting room floor. The whole point of this programming is to cause drama.

Numbers update

Hi followers:

I only have one number to update, but I'm really happy about this one.

My current weight is 139.8. Woop! Woop!!!

Bridget Jones' Numbers

So remember how in Bridget Jones' Diary she starts each entry off with numbers. I think since my main life goals right now involve numbers (surprise). I might start the same.

Weight:
Current: 143ish. Goal: 130ish (I never set strict weight loss goals)

Credit Card Debt
Current: $2237 (down from $10k+) Goal: $0

Checking Account Balance
Current: 1,XXX Goal: 5 digits, or 4 high digits worth.

Time able to run without walking
Current: 60 seconds Goal: 30 min

I will try to update regularly here. I feel like sometimes you gotta embarass yourself to motivate yourself. I don't want to put my checking account balance on here for real, that's sketchy.

Stay tuned!

RIP Mike Starr

If you're one of our 3 followers, you know that I LOVE Celebrity Rehab. It's so sad that Mike Starr died earlier this week. I still don't know what the cause of death was, but it sounds like it was drug related. Whether his body just lost the fight or he OD'ed, I'm not sure. I was always particularly worried about him. Rest In Peace, Mike.

Also, Michaele Salahi (if that's her real name) was kicked out of Celebrity Rehab 5 because she didn't have an addiction. Sounds like Tila Tequila 2.0. I am glad that Steve Adler is going to be back. He probably should just move into Pasadena Recovery Center and never move out. :(

The Current State of Trash TV

I definitely consider myself a connoisseur of Reality Television. I need to be appauled, entertained and laughing at the cast. If the show is competitive, it's more likely that it's on my list. Here are my comments on what's new (or new-ish)on TV right now.

Bridalplasty:
I'd like to pretend that I think this whole show concept is atrocious and it degrades women and blah blah, but that's not really my take on this show. It totally degrades women and it makes the entire wedding industry look awful, but the girls they have cast make it impossible not to watch. Lord help anyone who crosses them and their dream of liposuction. It's a hot mess of a show, but I can't stop watching.

My Big Friggin' Wedding:
This was my favorite new show this year. If you missed it, try to catch a rerun. Hilariousness. I especially encourage you to watch this if you or someone close to you is planning a wedding. It will make your wedding drama seem like an episode of the Teletubbies.

Teen Mom 2:
I wish I was above the 16 & Pregnant series but I'm not. This series seems to be more dramatic that the first. Custody battles with Grandmas, breaking up with baby daddies, I can't wait.

And everyone's favorite: Jersey Shore
I totally didn't get into JS at first. By Season 2, I felt like I had to watch to participate in social conversation. Now at Season 3, I can't stop. TechBF just started getting into it recently and we can't stop laughing about how the Situation is the sloppiest kisser to be seen on TV since Lassie.

Those are my comments for now :) Remember to take time out of your schedule for a little garbage. It will make you feel better. I promise :)

Update

Hey. We've been busy. PsychVixen and I just survived our first semester of grad school. I'm not sure about her grades, but I think it's safe to say she did well. LawVixen just started her last semester of Law school. And I can safely say that her Fall Semester grades were amazing. Not that we're suprised. I also did really well. It was definitely an adjustment for me to go from free time every evening to school work, classes and group meetings. Going back to school can be trying if you're in a serious relationship. Maybe we should add a little seminar on that at orientation? We made it work, and are starting to get into a groove. TechBF is also thinking about getting his MBA too (I guess we have to have matching degrees, haha). I can only imagine adding another layer of insanity to the mix.

I'm thinking of adding book review blog posts. We'll see.
