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.

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 :)

OMG TEEN MOM

I'm sure not of you are surprised that I LOVE Teen Mom. I'm so glad they brought back the same girls and didn't follow the 16 & Pregnant Season 2 girls. I seriously worry about these girls. So here's my Season Premiere recap:

Farrah- So glad we get to see the mom beating drama. Sophia's cute as ever. Not that it's ever ok to hit your kid, but is anyone who watched last season surprised? Farrah is totally one of those people who will never believe that anything's her fault. And wow, Idaho must have cheap housing if her mom has two houses across the street from each other. We got to watch Farrah "parent" Sophia. Farrah, you don't need to fold anything. You need to feed your baby! Not that I'm a mom in any capacity, but I'm pretty sure you don't use the same tactics to train your baby as you do a puppy. I wish we could hear Sophia's thoughts. When Farrah's mom was fussing over her you wanted her to go all E-Trade baby and say something hilariously sarcastic about the situation. Also, incase you were worried, Farrah's still using her parents' first names when she addresses them.

Catelynn & Tyler- Tyler, why'd you say you're not ready to be engaged? I feel so badly for these two. I really hope these two are keeping up with their therapy. Tyler helped remind me that sometimes boys cry this episode. I can't imagine living with my high school boyfriend/fiancé. Crazy. Catelynn moves back home :(. So hard to do the best thing for your bf/fi and yourself when it involves living with her parents who are cuh-razy! I'm proud of Tyler for not being a pushover and actually asking for space, but it's a crappy situation for everyone. At least Spike's mullet is back.

Maci- OMG how cute is Bentley? Maci struggles to pay the bills and Ryan continues to be an a-hole. I'm glad she's back in a classroom and not doing the online classes this semester. We got a nice lesson in child support which I hope legitimately helps some of the real Teen Moms out there. Maci has to live with so much regret, it's awful. It's a nice lesson in not trusting boys in HS. So Ryan gets smacked with $230 a month in child support. Maybe that's a lot of money wherever they live, but really?

Amber- Maybe it was my screen, but she looked Orange. How are you affording to tan, dear? OMG pregnancy scare. Heat of the moment? Are you serious? Gary finally said something reasonable "It's out of the question to have another kid right now." Very good, Gary, very good. Having Amber make a face at the plastic cup about to hold her urine reminds me that you'd think there'd be a better way to do a pee test in 2010. What was up with the way the nurse's delivery of the pregnancy results. It was totally a Maury paternity test crossed with a Ryan Seacrest American Idol results. So glad she's not pregnant.

Next week's episode looks ridiculous. I love this show.

This Week's Hills episode

They should have titled this episode: Super painful date scenes with the Crew.

First we had a totally forced new boy for Stephanie (who I'm starting to hate less). She immediately went on a first date with this guy. It was super forced and awkward. It's scenes like these that have me convinced that the show is scripted and they couldn't find better actors. But, am I happy Stephanie can date someone sober? Yes.

Then we see Lo out celebrating her first anniversary with her bf we haven't seen before which leads me to believe they're actually dating. He asks her to move in with him but in a non-committal awkward way that seemed scripted. She obviously wanted to say "Fool, I'm not moving in with you until we're engaged AT LEAST" but she's not a cast member from Engaged and Underage, so obviously she was wishy washy.

So then Kristin and Brody finally talk about how she's missing him and he's a man-whore. That was painful. A lot of us have been there, in those relationships where you just can't quit each other. (See Sara Bareilles' Gravity) Sad.

Somehow Stephanie and Lo managed to discuss this whole thing in yoga class ala Sex & the City. I've never been to yoga with my gf's but I've never been able to gossip mid downward dog.

The best part of the episode was the whole Darlene, Holly and absent Heidi storyline. That would have made a good episode on its own.

One more episode of this show I can't seem to quit. It's totally my Brody.

I love/hate the Hills

So I don't really enjoy watching the Hills, but I can't stop. I at the very least need to read the episode summaries. I really appreciate the sarcastic tone most bloggers, even the MTV.com one, take with the series. Anyway, as most of you know, the show is on its final season.

So I've decided the following:

1) I hate how forced the dialog has become. I know it's scripted, but I don't need to be reminded.

2) I sort of miss the Heidi/Spencer drama, that was the best part of the train wreck.

3) I'm super jealous of the cast. Their lives consist of: fake working at awesome places, lunching, sitting around on couches gossiping, clubbing and my most favorite: taking impromptu vacations on a private jet.

I think I could totally whine about how Brody won't sleep with me and I'm not sure if my sister has been eaten by aliens if it meant I'd get shipped to Costa Rica to force interaction with a hot bartender the production crew lined up to make out with me in a bikini. Rough life.

I'm going to go back to eating my fruit roll-up at my desk at a company that doesn't have much celebrity appeal now...
