I'd heard about that "bodily function" situation some time back and thought it was so crude it had to be made up. Apparently not. I question Bravo's judgment in going forward with this mess - I think this was all shot before Whitney went into rehab, so it gives the impression of profiteering on some seriously troubled people. This may make it near-impossible for Whitney to distance herself from the junkie stank wafting around her even if she does manage to get clean. I probably won't watch.

"Bravo’s most-anticipated show of the summer". Do they HAVE another show for the summer? Mercy, I hope not if this is their most anticipated. This is one train wreck I will not be watching.

It sounds to me like the train wreck of a life they have is mutual fault.

Well, I gotta say, it's true trainwreck. Of course, I don't have the vaseline covered lens that the Hollywood Reporter's Barry Garron sees Mrs. Brown through. Bobby doesn't look any better or worse than usual. It's Princess Whitney that is the disaster. I never bought that pure-as-the-driven-snow image anyway. You don't marry thug unless you are thug, lol. She's a cranky mess one minute, nodding out the next, always irritating. I hope she wasn't thinking that this will rehab her image. No pun intended.

I was expecting worse. I can't believe how calm they keep it with all of the people coming up to them at really private/innapropriate times asking for autographs. Some of those people were down right rude. And yes Whitney didn't really stay calm, but I know I would be a lot worse if I was in that situation. Yes, when you are an entertainer your fans are what bring in the paychecks, but come on-everybody is entitled to have a life....especially when they have children.

Glad she is in rehab though.

(Insert red faced smiley here) I watched it. Lord, I couldn't help myself I was changing channels and there it was. I got sucked into the hole, thinking I couldn't possibly funk myself up any more than the Mrs. Federline-fest a couple of weeks ago. How wrong was I? I even got in trouble with Colossus, who watched 5 minutes and stomped upstairs to rearrange his drawers in protest. I might even have to swear off one episode of Big Brother per week to make it up to him. It was that bad. I can't imagine why Whitney agreed to do this except she was out of her mind on drugs and wanted to help Bobby get some press. And on the bad press is better than no press tip, boy howdy!! Whitney comes off surly, blitzed and Garbo-esque most of the time, and Bobby is working overtime to put his best foot forward while explaining how his continual flirtations with serious jail time are wearing him down. And the kids are all in the middle of this. If Whitney is sober now I'm sure she worked overtime to prevent the airing of this footage. It's stripped her of what few shards of dignity she might have had left. Somehow I think maybe she is not, because I haven't heard anything about her trying to stop the show.

Debra Wilson will be busy the next few weeks! She must be still doing the happy dance right about now!

I can't believe how pathetic Bobby and Whitney really are, to have so much going for you and not have the decency to handle any of it is really sorry, there lives are just a complete mess, IMHO..I at one time thought that Whitney was so beautiful but anymore she is beginning to look very much like her cousin Dionne, Oh Boy.

I just caught a few minutes of the first episode when I ran home for a quick lunch. Seeing Whitney like that really makes me feel uncomfortable. If we (fans) didn't already know about her drug problems we certainly would now. The episodes are going to be repeated again tonight so I will be able to see the rest. Curiosity is going to make me watch.

I was shocked by that too, Pamy.

I agree with Sillycalimomma re: autographs and I was going to post it last night but I thought it'd annoy people. Honestly, if I went up to people at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's asking for autographs, I'd get what I deserve. Are people so devoid of manners that they can't leave people alone when they are eating or trying to go in the sauna? If I were Ms. Houston, I'd say no too.

Granted, she did do Divalicious behavior, but one of the reasons people like her--and like other great divas--is because she is larger than life. I adore Streisand, for example, but the things I have heard about her behavior from friends in the business would make your toes curl. But she can do it, and she has done it since the mid 60s, because she is a diva!

I actually kinda liked the show. I felt most sorry for Bobby Kristina.

The place they went to in Bahamas looked like the place Rob/Amber got married.

I was surprised at how much I liked Bobby. My whole opinion of him changed. He really seems to have a great sense of humor.

I think what you have with them are two totally opposite people. Bobby craves the attention and Whitney doesn't. He said it himself. He got into the business for the people and she got in it for the singing.

Well, Whitney certainly manages to make him look like a saint standing beside her. I felt dreadful for Bobbi Kristina when her parents locked themselves in their room with her scratching and pounding the door begging them not to. I got the impression she knew what things were going to be like when they came out, and parents on crack probably isn't her favorite thing to experience.

Pamy - they were at the Atlantis Resort. Not sure where Rob & Amber got married. I stayed there years ago and it was beautiful!

Ok, I watched. It wasn't really worse or better than I expected.

If I recall correctly, didn't Bobbie shop around pitching this show? I always felt that he was looking to do this for the money. I mean with all his lawyer fees and child support back payments - he probably needs serious cash! I mean Whitney's money can only go so far when she hasn't done anything in awhile. And her rehabs probably aren't cheap either. Not to mention the cost of their drug use.

I don't find Bobbie as bad as the reviews said. Yes, he's vulgar. But I'm not shocked by it. If Whitney doesn't mind it - and perhaps even likes it - then what's the big deal? I also found Bobbie to be funny and seems to really enjoy being around people.

In any case, Bobbie & Whitney do seem to enjoy each other.

Now as far as the drug use - some of it was pretty obvious IMO. I felt that a lot of Whitney's mood swings was drug induced.
I felt it was very obvious that Bobbie was high on something when he was in the bathroom with Whitney while she was getting her makeup done (and had the "excrement" conversation). Besides his personality being a bit different - you could see it in his face. Watch his mouth when he talks. I've seen that look before.

I don't know how many episodes I could watch of Bobbie craving and soaking up the attention, Whitney being Bobbie's "sugar momma", and Whitney's strange behavior - but I'll check out another episode.

Yep, that was it, Atlantis resort. It is such a beautiful place. They didn't show a lot of it on this show but we got to see most of it at the wedding

I thought when they went behind closed doors they went to have sex, didn't dawn on me they might be doing drugs

I finally watched, sort of, the first two episodes and that's that.. I now appreciate The Osbournes so much more for not constantly playing to the camera (could Whitney have turned to look into the camera more times and not gotten whiplash?)

Anyway it just sort of made me feel squirmy and sort of like when I was a kid waiting for my parents to blow up at each other and knowing there was nothing I could do to stop it.

OK, just adding that I wanted to smack the people who kept coming up and wanting autographs and especially pictures. That isn't new behavior but it seems to be worse than in the past.

I didn't realize Bobby Kristina was a teenager, for some reason when I read that she was pounding on the door, it made me think of when my kids were little and panicked when I went to the bathroom. It breaks my heart even more to realize that her pounding wasn't because of seperation anxiety but more cause she knows what her parents are doing.
