Bridezillas Gone Bye Bye

The Reality Show that started My Guilty Pleasure Show list has ended. Bridezillas showed their final episode. For ten years I have learn how to & how not to act as a bride. Trust me all of the brides showed were off the chain at some point.

Some were just acting crazy to be acting crazy. Some, In My Opinion, had a great reasons to act up. Like this bride, Haley.

 

 Bless her heart her In-Laws were crazy. They were a handful. They told her she was frumpy. They wanted her makeup on Her big day to be some over the top Stereotypical Italian New Jersey make over. Praise God, she had a makeup artist that listen to her and her only.  Some were total Bridezillas but maybe one time I could see how their behavior was justified for that moment. Like Porsha. 

The mother of her fiancé’s child had been heard saying she was coming to the wedding when we clearly was not invited. I understood Porsha calling her and telling what was what and just drop the kid off at grandmother’s house.  Hey I understand. No Unwanted Guests at the Wedding!!!

Bridezillas covered all kinds of brides. From the Trailer Fabulous (that is this lady here)

 

 the Pitiful  I felt so sorry for his coordinator. Only one bride decided to sue. Now it her defense

(Oh picking up trash at your wedding but your brother just came to get his party on), excessive criers, and even a Gayzillas. Oh he was over the top. I felt so sorry for his coordinator. I hope she took a Mental Vacation after that wedding.  Only one bride has reportley sued.

Julia Swinton-Williamson, was on the first season so she didn’t know she was going to be shown as a neurotic bride. Now anyone else on any season after the 1^st one should not sue. There was one couple that got tired of the cameras and put the Bridezillas crew out of their limo on the way to the wedding. 

So we never saw their wedding. I actually understood them also. You think you can perform for this circus and it became too much in the end.

The clip above is my favorite. Marsha & Archie ended up on Dr. Phil because of her Bridezillas antics. Marsha was just tired. She drove from Dallas to Little Rock every weekend. Her cell rang all the time with people asking questions. Now here it was Archie & she were on their way to the wedding rehearsal and someone called and ask where they were. Archie was her closest victim to get screamed at. He got screamed at and she left him in the car to calm down. His sister comes out and he was still crying. Sister put Marsha back in the car so they can drive and talk things out. Are they still together? Probably.  I just know it gave me the best line ever, “She Left Me! She left Me!”

Those are not the nastiest bridezillas, in my opinion. That honor goes to two women who still make me cringe just looking up their pictures. 

Mia Lee told the groom to find more money to spend & broke & smashed up decorations her mother worked on. She was so nasty, her sister in-law actually said “I Object” at the wedding.

 She was horrible. Then there was Frankie a*k*a Rae Rae. She bought a dress at the last minute online and got mad because her Paris made dress had not got there in time for the wedding. Her sister and she fought like they were not related. 

But the kicker was when she threatened to leave her reception before it began because her aunt told her not to play vulgar music in front children in the limo. Rae Rae was crazy! Both ladies I was convinced acted like this all the time. It was not the stress of the wedding. That was normal behavior.

I’m going to miss Bridezillas. I’ve been with it ten years. Just when you think they can’t find anyone to top the season before, Viola, a different kind of crazy shows up. I hope I don’t flip out like even a ¼ of that when I get married. No one should act a B-word  just to act a B-word just because they are getting married. That includes me, too. But I understand, when you need things done your way, maybe a little crazy is in need. Hey Just Do It My Way. That’s All!!!

Bye Bridezillas Bye!!!

As Always, Talking to You in Adult Terms

"Catfish" My New Television Guilty Pleasure

 *Spoiler Warning*

Okay, It's no secret that I don't watch many popular reality shows. You know the ones that Wives, Hip Hop, Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bad, Club, or Chrissy in the title of it. I don't watch them. Yes, it gets me stared at crazy by many I know. I don't relate at all. I just don't understand all that fighting and you are not competing for a Large Cash Grand Prize or Job (Like RuPaul's Drag Race, Big Brother, or Amazing Race) or Not Relatives (Like Mary Mary) Yes, the Parentheses are shows I watch and I have some "Guilty Pleasure" shows I do watches like Cheaters, Toddlers and Tiaras, and Bridezillas. Well, there is an addition to the "Guilty Pleasures" list and its name is Catfish the TV Show.

It is derived from a Documentary about a guy who meets his online love and finds out she was not who she said was. Well after the movie aired the man was bombarded with emails with people with online love horror stories. The show is about that same guy helping people find out if their online lovers are lying or not. So far in five episodes, no one is telling the truth. I have faith though. It may be the Season finale but I have faith somebody will be telling the truth. (Yes, you can laugh).

The show is a trip. There is an episode with a lady who was a stripper and thought she dating a childless male stripper. The male stripper was a husky guy with children that was supposed to be the male stripper's promoter. There is the episode where a young lady thought for almost 2 years she was talking to a guy and it was a cruel prank of an ex-boyfriend's current girlfriend. The girlfriend was Not remorseful at all because she just wanted the girl to leave her boyfriend. I pray that the young lady learns better and more mature conflict management. *sigh* Then there was the most interesting case to date to me. The lady had a boyfriend who wanted to marry her. Yet, she had a 10-year online romance that she wanted to meet to make a decision.

I try to watch this show with an open mind. This could happen to anyone. There are so many liars out there in the world. But like Cheaters, I think it is sad that this show is even needed. People don't use common sense or are too lazy to do the "homework" on someone before meeting one another and even worse catching feelings. A central theme I see is almost Anuptahobic people trying to date. They are so scared to be alone that they accept these obvious lies. I'm sorry "Never being able to meet" is an obvious lie. Especially if for longer than 3 months if you live in the same city, in my opinion, is a bald-faced lie. Who never has time if they are single and telling the truth? Even if you met while both were grocery shopping. I understand long-distance love puts a strain on the meeting but listen to what they say when you finally become able to meet.

As for being too lazy to do the Homework, it amazed me how everyone has at least a Facebook page on this show. Yet, no one looks through the page fully. Many of the clues are found on the Facebook pages of the offender. They go to a Modeling school in India. Friends of the offender have the same pictures as the offender that happens to look just like the offender. While we texting each other I'd be all on their page.  If "Bells" went off enough to email Catfish Ummm "Bells" should have gone off for you to do your own investigating. If he could find it...

I date No One without doing All my homework. As I get older and add to my dating experience, the amount of homework has increased. I've dated online men before. Met the man to become one of my best friends that way (That was a Confession). I also met the Best Liar in the World ever (trust me he increased my amount of homework) online also.  We always met in a public place. Sometimes I brought my friends along, just in case a dude stood me up. Never had it to happen. But we always met within a month. And if we can't meet, I tell the dude to lose my number (Hey, am I wrong for saying "Lose my Number" to dismissed guys? Just Curious!). In the words of Sweet Brown "Ain't Nobody got Time Fah Dat".

So, that's my new "Guilty Pleasure", Catfish the TV Show. I'm going to watch Catfish the Documentary one day. I want to see this guy's journey. I do know him and the girl became good friends. Okay let me catch the latest episode with my fingers crossed the "offender" is true blue. LoL
