The Surreal Life

[ahenobarbus]

Based on the preview, Florence Henderson is clearly as crucial as anyone else on the cast. I get the feeling that she refused to live in the house, so the producers worked out a compromise because they want Mrs. Brady so badly.

It also looks like it's going to be a big catfight. They men are either too boring (wrestler, smashmouth) or too laid back (Sherman, Poison).

I think Flo's Brady Bunch checks must have stopped, because she's almost as bad as Flava Flav with the reality shows. They pimped her as a therapist on My Fair Brady as well. Yeah, you were married to a aromatherapist, so that makes you a psychiatrist? Ok. That makes sense.

Do you know the history of aromatherapy, hobocamp? Florence Henderson does. Sorry, couldn't resist.

You know Flo's gonna stir some shit up. So sue me, but I like the idea of Mrs. Brady being the b*tch from hell. Also, I now know what the Playboy chick looks like. Leann Rimes's trampy little sis.

I think she said she was married to a hypnotherapist and became one herself. I was with one too, but that doesn't make him or I a counselor.

[hobocamp]

Oh yeah, hypnotherapist, not aromatherapist. I guess that's a little better. No offense to aromatherapists.

Whoa. This thread really died. Is anyone watching the show anymore? This season is way better than last. The cast feels more like a kooky family than just a bunch of assholes getting all up in each others' grills. I like that they're making them compete and fulfill tasks every episode, and it's really sweet to see CeeCee (CC?) dealing with sobriety and realizing he can actually accomplish things sober.

I like that even though Tawni is ka-ra-zee, everyone just sort of pities her because she's so pathetic.

Me me me! I'm watching it! I don't know why this thread hasn't seen more action over here - I've been posting at the one over at TWoP, which is hoppin' right after a new ep airs, and then moderatley bumped here and there over the course of the week.

I LOVE CC! He's just ridiculously hot. And Tawny's KA-RAYZEEEE!

I'm still on board.

Poor Tawny, she really can't handle not being the center of attention.
She really doesn't like other women either.

[tinyshoes]

Boy is Tawny a nutjob. Florence can come off as a passive agressive prude sometimes, but she didn't bug me as much as I thought she would. And boy did she handle Tawny's talk show attack well. I like how she managed to stay cool and laugh it off, making Tawny look like a classless B in the process (definitely not Tawny's goal).

Also, I like Andrea better than I thought I would. At first I thought she would be pointless, stupid, and arrogant. Other than the "don't judge me" crap, she actually seems like a reasonably cool person.

Sherman seems to be coming out of his shell a bit. I loved his save with the weather forecast, and his talk show bits were pretty funny too (of course, put him together with Marla Gibbs, and hilarity will ensue).

And a big fat word about CC. He's looking so much better, and the fact that he's having these successes while sober will really help him out in the long run. Let's hope he stays on the wagon.

C.C. DeVille has been one of my rock star crushes for (gasp) 20 years now. He definately gets better with age!!
