Scorpiomoon | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 12:16 pm     Texannie: LOL! Good one! Thanks. |
Jhezzie | Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 01:20 pm     ROTF, Tex! I can't get over this pop tart. She is a multi-million dollar business. She can't identify tuna. Can't do laundry. Can't read price tags. Can't make decisions. I hope parents see that doing everything for, and giving everything to, and not saying "no, you can't" and padding the world for their kids do them no favors. What's she going to do when she's not pretty anymore? Yikes! I hope the hubby's 5 year plan to "unspoil" her works. Did you see his face when she was telling him about the $700 undies? Priceless, lol! |
Beachcomber88 | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 11:20 pm     Why doesn't this show get ANY discussion here? Last post on August 31st?! I think I'm going to have to go back to TWOP to hear what others say about this hilarious show. Just saw this past week's episode again. Watching the whole golf experience again had me laughing hysterically. I am a beginning golfer myself, but I will not step foot on a course until I know I will not be an embarassment. For now, it's only the driving range for me. Anyway, back to the show, Nick is a much worse golfer than I would have expected. And for Jessica to spend $60 on a golf glove that she will never use again - ludicrous. What kind of glove is she buying? |
Scorpiomoon | Saturday, September 13, 2003 - 11:38 pm     I wondered the same thing too, Beach. The shw just started airing here in Canada. On Wednesday, I saw the laundry/chicken of the sea episode. It was hysterical, but a bit unsettling. These two are so different--come from such different backgrounds. |
Sampatsfan | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 12:33 am     Hi guys.....I can't take my eyes off of this show either. I still can't get over the tuna or the undies! What I am wondering (since I live in Massachusetts)is if $750.00 is actually an average price for 2 bras and 2 pairs of panties? Could this actually be the going rate at the nice boutiques in California? I am telling you, I really am so shocked! It just seems so absurd. I wait for sales (especially for my bras) and am embarassed to actually tell you what I like to pay! I haven't seen the golfing episode yet, sounds like fun. The camping trip had me in stiches though. See now Beachcomber88 just said Jess spent $60.00 on a golf glove for one time use. I know they are famous and have money but.......come on. Also I have never and would never go near the register to cash out before knowing what I am spending. |
Just4fun | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 05:37 am     Scorpionmoon, I'm a Montrealer and was wondering if you could tell me what channel this show is on. I can't seem to find it, maybe it's on one of the speciality channels that I have to pay extra to get???? |
Texannie | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:52 am     This show totally cracks me up! I keep missing it though and just seem to come across it when surfing. I think it should be watched by every stage mother out there as a warning to what can happen! LOL |
Fabnsab | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:19 am     Yes, Texannie, I am sure said stagemothers would be so put off and disgusted by the pop princess in the million dollar home with the gorgeous pop star husband! LOL. Unfortunately, I think it would encourage them. I call my best friend a stage mother and all she would see of this show is Jessica's success. |
Pamy | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:41 am     I have caught this show a couple times on the weekends. Does anyone know the time it repeats on sat/sun??? I must admit when I catch it I can't stop watching! Jessica is unbelievable! She is such an airhead! I can't believe she is for real. My sympathies go out to her DH, I don't see these 2 lasting long. She proves the old saying...for every hot girl there is a guy that can't stand her. |
Texannie | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 08:45 am     Yep, I guess they wouldn't see how totally clueless and helpless she is. |
Scorpiomoon | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:26 am     Just4fun: Yep. It's on MTV Canada--one of the digital speciality channels you need to pay extra for. It's a total pain because 90% of the time these channels have nothing worth watching. But every once in a while they will air something like this show and you're glad you paid extra. |
Realitynut | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:38 am     I'm glad to see some conversation about this show. This is like watching a train wreck. I will never see her again without seeing that pouty immature look she gets on her face. I don't see this marriage lasting either. He is normal and she is a spoiled little diva. It's really too bad because she is so beautiful, but she's dumb as a post. Whenever he mentions another chick, she says "what about me" which just shows how self absorbed she is. It doesn't look like his brother cares too much for her either. All that said, I can't wait till the next episode. I really hope she is able to grow and mature a little during this show and we get to see a whole new Jessica by the end of it. |
Kady | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:38 am     Pamy...I think the golfing episode is at 6:30 central today. There are episodes listed before that but usually the last one listed is the newest. I went to MTV.com but it wasn't much help. It just list Newlyweds but not the content. |
Pamy | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 11:54 am     Thanks Kady!!! |
Max | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 07:45 pm     OMG! I'm stuck in a hotel room and tuned in to several episodes of this show out of sheer boredom. First, let me say that I am not a Jessica Simpson or Nick Leshay (however you spell it) fan. I don't know much about their music -- it's not my genre. Nick seems like a nice, regular guy. I was amused that he is frugal enough to NOT want to hire a housekeeper or a moving company. That was kinda cute, considering that money is probably NOT a problem for him, but it's obviously not something he takes for granted, either. Jessica....well, it's sorta hard to be kind here. She acts like a VERY immature, spoiled little brat! Does the girl EVER stop whining? She doesn't seem to know anything about how to take care of herself, even admitting that she cannot make many decisions without consulting her mother. Worse, she doesn't seem very interested in LEARNING anything, either. Hard to tell if the marriage has lasting power. Certainly, I would think Nick will get tired of playing "daddy" to Jessica's "little girl" after a while, but you never know. And, of course, there's a chance she will grow up and get a little less whiny and a little more independent and mature. Hey, it could happen!! I don't think I'll seek this one out, but it was a decent enough diversion while being stuck in this hotel room. |
Scorpiomoon | Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 09:26 pm     Max brought up many of the things I was thinking. I should know better than to waste my energy on pondering the dynamics of Jessica and Nick's marriage, but it so odd that I can't help but question the whole thing. They dated for years before they got married. Obviously he knew what he was getting himself into. I can understand the appeal of having Jessica as a girlfiend, but a life partner? I suppose you can say the show might be unfairly edited and we don't entirely see who Jessica really is, but I get the sense we're not missing much. The thing is, if Nick's solo career pans out, I could totally see him sucking it up and figuring out how to make a living doing something else. But Jessica? The whole teenage blonde vixen phase is over (for now) both in the music industry and for Jessica. What is she going to do when she is a "nobody"? I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not, but good gravy, can you guys see her with a baby? Aye, aye, aye... |
Crazydog | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 06:49 am     Sampatsfan, I think those panties were rhinestone-encrusted or something like that, which is probably why they cost so much. And I agree with Beach, I thought Nick would have been a better golfer. His frustrated expressions as the ball went nowhere were funny. I loved how Jessica innocently asked, "isn't the ball supposed to go in the air". |
Lurkin | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 08:58 am     I saw on the cash register the amount of $150.00 and $190.00. What could those panties possible be made of to cost that much? Rhinestones shirts at walmart are 7 bucks. I couldnt believe the camping and golfing. What are these brothers thinking takinge the wives. Surely producers are encourage this. I think his 5 year plan to rid her of her spoildness is highly underestimated. This show cracks me up. |
Crazydog | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 09:22 am     Maybe they had real gold thread in them, or something like that. The funniest part was that look of horror on her face as she called Nick to explain. I can't believe she would sign her name without looking at the number on the slip, or that the sales lady would not announce the price. I've never heard of a salesperson not telling you how much it is you owe, and simply taking the credit card and swiping it. |
Beachcomber88 | Monday, September 15, 2003 - 12:10 pm     As far as the underwear goes, I think by then it's one of those "save face" moments. Even had she known the actual price before signing the credit card slip, I doubt that she would then say that she didn't want it. Imagine if that news got out to the tabloids? "Jessica Simpson too cheap to buy panties." I think this probably happens to a lot of celebrities, not that it excuses their lavish spending. I doubt this would happen to Nick - he seems very level-headed and knows the value of money. I wouldn't be surprised if I bumped into Nick at my local Target. Crazydog, right on about the comment about the ball going "up in the air" as Nick looks incredibly frustrated. Funniest moment of the whole day was at the end when the golf pro gave Nick his card, "if you need any help". I think Nick's celebrity status got him off the hook there. If it were me, I'd probably be told never to set foot on their course again... |
Misslibra | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 04:22 am     All I can say this can't be the real Jessica. She has to be acting and playing the dumb blond role. I saw a couple of episodes, and each time I just shake my head in awe. lol Nick seems like a nice guy not only is he good looking but he has a lot of patients. I wonder how long this marriage will last if this is the real Jessica. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - 06:05 am     nick is hot, i love him on this show. |
Misslibra | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 12:50 am     Squaredsc, Nick is on fire !! LOL And a real hottie, and I'm jealous of Jessica. |
Beachcomber88 | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 01:11 am     I was surprised to actually see Jessica ironing her own dress in the hotel before the wedding. She knows how to use an iron? And she's willing to do it? At the same time, the constant shots of Nick fixing his air was hilarious. Also loved seeing Jessica dribbling the ball and bouncing it up into her chin. I was sure that we would see her make a basket, but I guess not. I missed a few minutes - was Nick's grandmother getting married to one of the retirement home residents? Or was it a renewing of vows? I know that the editors wanted to show old people because they thought it was humorous. However, I didn't particularly think the old guy trying to maneuver his scooter back and forth and then eventually falling over was funny at all. Have some respect! Who was that guy anyway? Just another resident? |
Crazydog | Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - 07:17 am     Beach, I agree, I was surprised at the ironing as well. I actually didn't find Jessica annoying at all this episode - I thought she seemed pretty normal. It's understandable to me that she would be upset that they complained about how she sang. (Although there were times when I thought she was screaming/shouting.) Nick's grandmother was getting married to someone she met at the retirement home. I'm assuming they were both widowed and met there. And I have no clue who that old guy in the scooter was - I think he was just a random resident. I enjoyed the previews for next week, when it looks like they go to the Bahamas? I was cracking up when Jessica screamed "Jellyfish!" and Lea said, "Jess, that's a plastic bag." BTW, do Nick and Drew do EVERYTHING together? Camping, trip to the Bahamas, etc. I thought it was the Nick and Jessica show, not the Nick, Jessica and Drew show. |
