I tried to like this, but I just couldn't stay interested. It seems like the best jokes were in the commercials and the rest was kind of blah. And I don't care how young Leslie Bibb looks. The problem I had with her character was that she isn't drop dead gorgeous, and it seems like she's supposed to be. She's pretty in an ordinary way, nothing special. Is that her appeal to the men? That she looks like the fresh-faced girl next door in comparison to all the other fake bitches that inhabit that town? Eh, I don't get it.

I thought it was entertaining and the Bible-quoting seems like a necessary plot device since that's what these good Christian bitches are all about - talk like they're one way, act like they're another. Every church has some GCBs. I thought it was pretty outrageous, from the death by blow job to the prayer request outing Kitten as the owner of Boobylicious. Desperate Housewives has lost all its camp and fun and I'm just hanging in till the end to see what happens.
On TWOP they're saying that ABC backed away from the Good Christian Bitches title and changed it to Good Christian Belles, then just left it at GCB. Cowards.

Examples of Good Christian Bitches = Michelle Bachman & Patricia Heaton. Spouting the Bible out of one side of their mouth, while sniping nastily out the other.

I liked it enough to watch it again. I wish it were a little more outrageous, but maybe it'll work up to that. I need something campy to tide me over after Desperate Housewives goes off the air and we're between seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race. Yes, some of it was outrageous, but I do think they need to ratchet it up more too since I think it definitely works better as camp or comedy then when it tries to be serious and somber. I'm not sure if this would make it more outrageous, but it would probably be more courageous of the show if they had just kept Amanda as a mean girl since that's another big problem I have now with the show. Even though she kept saying she wasn't anymore, I didn't believe that she had really changed especially during her speech at the end, so I wasn't that sympathetic to her at all. In fact, right now I actually like the "mean women" now more than Amanda. The only thing that I didn't like that the show had them do was keep Amanda from a job as a decorator especially since the show didn't need to go there since it would be more believable that she couldn't get a job because she had very little experience and qualifications. I'll keep watching though because I think there's potential with the show, and it's nice seeing Annie Potts again.

I think the intent was that Amanda wanted to take the high road and play nice, since her mean girl days were long behind her, but returning to her home town and finding that no one else has moved on - well, she just lowered herself back down to their level.
Not surprised they managed to find a way to incorporate Chenowth's singing into it, but I hope it's not a regular thing. Plus, Cheno's face is so gaunt, James Franco could fall into her cheek chasms and never be found. I find it hard to look at her.

Surprisingly James Franco hasn't made a short film starring himself disappearing into someone's cheek chasms.

That giant bed would be awesome to sleep in, but changing the sheets would not be.

I expect they have "people" for that. So I guess Cricket knows her husband plays for the other team and she's happy being his beard as long as she can maintain the lifestyle and he maintains the charade. After he daughter's cheerleading top popped open, was Cricket most upset because the daughter only got a B cup? Great line: "Cleavage makes your cross hang better." Must find a way to use that at church.

Cricket said she should have gotten a B cup. I don't think it's lifestyle with Cricket and her hubby. She said he made her feel beautiful. I think they do love each other as good friends and parents.
