I watched a couple of episodes of Bridezillas for the first time over the weekend. OMG these gals are over the top. I couldn't believe the bride who gained too much weight to fit into her dress and was pouting. She was insisting that Mommy buy her a new dress even though Mommy footed the bill for the first one. I was thinking grow up and buy your own dress or go on a diet. Love Say Yes to the Dress and looking forward to a new season.

I remember REALLY wanting to watch Bridezilla, but alas, the first episode was shown without closed captioning, a must for me

I assumed all programing was closed captioned. Was it just the first episode or all episodes? In this day and age of technology there's no excuse for a program not to be closed captioned. That's just plain wrong IMHO. Who is responsible for that - the network or the local station?

Most programming is SUPPOSED to be CC, Bombay, but sometimes they air the shows without the function running. I don't know how else to explain it. I remember being really upset that the Canadian station that was airing the last season of Queer As Folk didn't run any of the episodes with CC, and after numerous emails complaining to them, they finally called me and said it was the fault of the original network - they didn't include the proper code for CC or something - I honestly still don't get it. In the end, I had to wait for more than a year later for it to come out on DVD. But really, most shows on all the major networks should run with CC - they just don't "turn it on" or something once in a while. And it's so frustrating, because I'll see a caption come on saying "closed captioning is sponsored by..." so-and-so, but there's still no CC. So I KNOW it's supposed to be there, yet it isn't.

Everyone, I apologize for getting off topic. Jodie maybe you need to approach the problem from a different side. Start emailing the sponsors and telling them they are not getting what the pay for and furthermore you are going to boycott their products.

Bombay, that's an excellent suggestion. Next time I'll keep that in mind and watch for the sponsoring company.

I saw that Mocha. After she bought the girdle, she had to stop and eat again. I saw part of the remarry episode where the mom wouldn't let the daughter have silver shoes. Did you happen to see the Platinum wedding? Have never seen anything like that wedding. It was in Colorado.

They were showing how much certain things cost but I didn't have my glasses on and couldn't see the amounts. Do you think that was at least a million dollar wedding? ETA: Yup the trees and the flowers

I taped a marathon of Bridezillas, and I have to say that the worst one I ever saw was in the last episode: her name was Malena and she was horrible. She was so incredibly nasty and evil through the whole episode. if I were her fiance, I would have called off the whole thing, especially when she was calling his mother horrible names for being late, and threatening to kill his sister the next day. I mean, being late to the wedding is bad, but it was like her groom, Adi, said,: he felt the same way but could express himself differently. She's going to have this whole thing on tape for the rest of her life. She should be ashamed of herself. It gives the term "spoiled" a whole new meaning.

It seems like most of the men who marry these bridezillas are really nice guys. Guess the phrase "opposites attract" is true in these cases. I think the gal who gained weight was more interested in having a wedding and less in getting married. I don't look for that marriage to last very long. She appears to be pretty high maintenance, so I hope she has a great paying job.

I haven't seen the one yet that has a bride who gains weight. I have my PVR set now to record all Bridezillas, so maybe it will come up. I'm still shaking my head over Malena...

I watched the episode with the bride who needed her mom to buy the girdle for her and the one who remarried her ex. I looked her up because she sd she was an actress & she looked familiar & I found out their wedding was a scam. Some reporter researched them & sd they never got divorced, and the restaurant where their supposed "2nd wedding" took place published a statement saying the producers of the show were horrible, the husband was the mean one, not the bride, and the smashing of the cake in the relatives face because he had a small birthday cake for his wife at their rehearsal dinner was staged! I knew it looked way too over the top. I believe some brides are really like that but they definitely act up for the show. This particular one with the Coppolas was a scam.................

I'm not surprised. When watching the Coppolas all I could think was "bad acting." I only started watching Bridezillas a few weeks ago. Your post confirmed my suspicions that this whole show is staged.

There is some speculation out there that Andrew is one of "the" Coppolas, based on his resemblance to Nicholas Cage.
