Inn Love: Tori and Dean

[karin]

I just saw the episode where they move into the B&B - judging from next week's previews, it looks like they find out about and ant problem (which of course grosses Tori out) - I'm not a real estate genius, but doesn't every state demand a point of sale inspection?? Are we supposed to believe that they "bought" the B&B without any legal representation that would have demanded a POS inspection? Puh-leeze.

I don't think this is their property at all - either the network bought the property is renting it from the previous owner for the duration of the taping.

Fake, fake, fake - just like Tori & Dean, but worth watching for the snark value!

Ha! I just read that and was coming here to post that last night's ep was stagetastically staged in every way. From the crappy fake B&B conference where the crappy fake old lady said they'd lose money since they only had 4 bedrooms. To the "Let's save money and paint the exterior of the inn!" As if that remotely makes sense. If you want to save money, don't paint the inn at all right away.

So fake. I enjoyed last week's episode more.

I thought the "sunny yellow" looked better than the chocolate brown they picked. The brown made it blend in with everything in the background. And chocolate brown is so 2005. Didn't they have decorators come in and assess everything? Why the hell was Dean telling the painters to do the ceilings in brown? That's just going to make the rooms look shorter/smaller. This place is going to be such a hot mess. It's a good thing for Tori that she's back in favor with her mommy, when the B&B flops, she can sell it and go shopping with Candy at Barneys and forget about this silly little venture.

karin, there's no doubt they had a POS inspection. But, from what we saw on tv it was hard to tell if they had an "infestation" like Dean so dramatically said, or if it was just a case of having some under a door baseboard. (Wasn't it a door to outside? That really wouldn't be all that atypical. I mean, a dead cockroach gets under there, it's dinnertime for the ants, y'know.) If they truly had "OMG ANTS EVERYWHERE!!!" like Dean said, they wouldn't just be confined to that little space and the inspector wouldn't have missed them. But housing inspectors don't randomly remove pieces of your house, though. Dean's a d-bag.

Edited to make some sense.

During her baby shower she bragged about painting the exterior and ripping carpet herself while pregnant. Then we see on the show that she barely did anything. Who is she trying to fool? She really thinks she's your everyday down-to-earth gal, yet on the show we see how spoiled she is.
The budget they are talking about must be money given to them by the network. How else would she not know how much they spent and if they went over budget? Damn Tori, your dumb!

! Dean's ex, Mary Jo Eustace, is NOT writing that fabulously titled book after all.

Article excerpt online:-
"Mary-Jo Eustace wasn't thrilled with last week's Us Weekly cover featuring Tori Spelling and her new baby Liam.
....
Mary-Jo has since decided she doesn't need to tell-all. Just dropping a few hints in Hello! will suffice. "You think, 'Do I want to tell the real story?,'" she says. "No, because it doesn't even matter... You're not going to feel any better."

How can anyone honestly wish Tori and Dean happiness together?

It's like that old Sassy interview about her proudly asserting that she's a "self-made woman"... and then crawling around after her then-boyfriend Nick Savalas, and crying hysterically after they have a big fight. It's all show, Tori.

Wow! Anyone have a link or a scan of that article?
Also, didn't I read somewhere that Tori gave a way her cats because Dean didn't like them?
Yup, this girl, she doesn't even come close to being independent.

My theory on this couple is the same as my Britney - Kevin theory: Tori got swept away by awesome sex and mistook it for true love. Dean, however, should know better.

Baylor, I searched and searched and FINALLY found it again. Had the link posted but it's dead. Here's the new link and the full article.

ARTICLE:-
How does Mary Jo Eustace likes seeing pictures of her ex-husband like this? Even less than she likes Ken Kostick.

by Ryan Porter
What's For Dinner? dish Mary-Jo Eustace wasn't thrilled with last week's Us Weekly cover featuring Tori Spelling and her new baby Liam. Though her ex-husband Dean McDermott was cropped out of the photo, a cover story on his new baby glared back at her from every grocery store, convenience store and subway kiosk, blaring "Tori's Baby Love!" It might as well have read, "Your Ex-Husband Has Moved On." "[The story] was such a major thing," the 49-year-old tells Hello! magazine. "Most things get easier, but things like that are very difficult for us to deal with as a family."

She says the attention the divorce attracts is "not fun for my son," but it really sounds fun. Jack, the eight-year-old boy that Mary-Jo shares with Dean, was there for Tori's entire birth, even sleeping in the Beverly Hills princess's hospital room along with his dad and new step-brother during the four days it took for Tori to recover. When asked by Hello! if she keeps in touch with Dean for Jack's sake, she says somewhat cryptically, "I'll do anything for my son. Whatever he requests, whatever Jack needs in his life, I will accommodate." That sounds like a yes, with extra ice.

At one point, Mary-Jo was shopping a tell-all book, working title: My Husband Left Me For Tori Spelling. She'd even reached out to Tori's ex-husband, Charlie Shanian, and formed a friendship. In her book proposal, she posed the question, "Could she one day fall for Charlie? The one man who knows exactly what she's going through?" Apparently not, as Charlie's own tell-all, an article on the divorce in the April GQ, ends with him still pining for an under-the-radar romance of his own to materialize.

Mary-Jo has since decided she doesn't need to tell-all. Just dropping a few hints in Hello! will suffice. "You think, 'Do I want to tell the real story?,'" she says. "No, because it doesn't even matter... You're not going to feel any better." That's why she has Ken Kostick. Whenever she's depressed, she can just hurl insults at him until he makes her a salad niçoise.

Tori Spelling's hubby likes her dogs, but hates her cats
