Arms like Anj, a face like Owais, loyal like Shmoyel

Has Desi Rascals created a recipe for the perfect man? Not quite, but they have certainly chosen cast members who have had men and women drooling all over them.

 Desi Rascals, the new reality TV show similar to TOWIE, came to our TV screens in January  this year and we all got hooked on the story lines and the cast members.

The most intriguing pair were Moses Baig and Jo Shah, now known as Mojo, who’s love story  blossomed before our eyes and is still going strong.

Owais Khan and his string of bad luck brought a few laughs; despite his dapper looks and charm, Owais developed a stutter at a young age and this was portrayed on television. He was also ‘pied’ by a few ladies on the show for being too arrogant and self-centered. It began with Yasmin Karimi, continued with Rita Siddiqui and ended with his not so blossoming relationship with Scottish girl Feryal Javid Khan.

 Anj Baig, owner of PMG gym and Anjees Dessert Lounge, certainly did not  go unnoticed to the audience, but unlucky for everyone Anj made it clear  that he was in a relationship from the beginning and his other half will not  be appearing on the show. However Anj was not hesitant on playing  cupid and even set up Owais and Feryal, unaware how that would end.

I can’t forget to mention our very own Zayn Malik lookalike Shmoyel  Siddiqui, a pop up art gallery owner. Shmoyel was not as loud as the other boys and only went on a few dates with Yasmin before calling it a day. He kept a little reserved on his love life and despite interest from Faryal, causing an extremely awkward scene but great entertainment, we did not see much of Shmoyel’s love life. However it seems that him and Natalie Shah, sister of Jo, are getting rather close so let’s wait and see if that develops.

 With Desi Rascals 2 back on our screens this summer lets hope we see the  continued relationship of Mojo, Owais finally finding his Mrs. right,  Shmoyel and Natalie becoming a pair and Anj’s arms getting even bigger.

 

Marnie and her men – Geordie Shore

Things get fired up in the Geordie shore house when Marnie becomes the new trophy amongst the boys.

First it was Scott, in the previous season, that Marnie was loved up with. Their relationship ended as just friends when the season ended. And we then saw Gaz and Marnie cosying up when this season began.

After many hook ups and tash on’s Gaz and Marnie agreed to just remain friends and of course Gaz wanted to explore other women. But it seems newbie Aaron is the next join Marnie’s string of men. Despite Aaron’s persistence that he will not do anything with Marnie just yet, due to the boy code, even though he has feelings for her, Marnie continued to try and lure Aaron into her arms.

When the truth came out about Gaz breaking his own boy code by hooking up with Marnie just days after her and Scott called it quits, the house was fuming. The ‘I hate Gaz’ club began and a huge brawl between Scott and Gaz led to Gaz leaving the house with an injured hand. Aaron then got into bed with Marnie as he realised the boy code meant nothing.

 

Big boss Season 8 is coming soon

Big boss season 8 will be back and I cannae wait 😀

The new promos for the Indian version of Big Brother, Big boss have been releasing and they shown that superstar Salman Khan is once again the host of the show.

Salman’s humour, yet straight forward approach was loved by many viewers and even made me like the star so much more. Watching his films doesn’t show Salman’s true, vibrant personality and great sense of humour, and it will definitely be great watching him as the host of Big Boss once again.

The new promos present the themes of airlines and we can already see it will be a change to the heaven and hell theme that was depicted in the previous season.

I’m sure it will be an excellent series and I can’t wait for it to begin on the 21^st September.

 

 

 

Tash on tours goes international, Made in Chelsea hits New York and the Americans take over the big brother house!

With the madness and fast pace of life I haven’t had the opportunity to blog about some of my favourite shows that I’ve been watching recently, so I thought I’d take the time out and write a quick post of some of the latest reality shows that have me hooked.

The Geordies were back in town to go wild, party and show everyone how it’s done in the Toon. Garry brought along his best pal Aaron and soon into the show Marnie’s best friend Kyle also joined the crew. From the original gang the remaining ones are now Garry, James, Vicky, Charlotte, Holly and Scott.

Aaron and Kyle managed to settle in quite well with the others once the relationship dynamics had been established. The girls tried to keep Kyle to themselves but the boys fast took him under their wing and showed him how to pull a few birds. He has taken a liking to Holly and is showing more of an interest in her than the club girls, but I very much doubt that a relationship will form at the end of show.

This time round Anna, the boss, realised these lot are not good at anything apart from Tashing on so she made this their main job. To go out, entertain groups and get everyone to ‘neck’ on with one another. The ‘Tash on Tours’ theme was taken to Iceland where friction in the group did occur, but it was all forgotten once they got tashing on with everyone.

 

The MIC gang have flown out to New York for the summer and we’ve seen quite a few new faces on the show, including Bille, who has both Spencer and Stevie fighting to win her over, Alik who has shown a keen interest in Louise, and Jules who has outdone Spencer in the dating game.  

Jules claims he is in a polyamorous relationship, which basically means he can have a girlfriend and sleep around with other girls too, with the approval of his girlfriend. Up until recently Jules and Rosie were getting to know each other, until she found out about his lifestyle choice and kicked him to the kerb.

Apart from the newbie’s some of the Chelsea drama did follow the crew to New York as Binky turned up without Alex. He then followed her to New York but she told him she wanted nothing to do with him. When the news came out that he had hooked up with Jamie’s ex Tara nobody had anything nice to say to or about him, so he grabbed his passport and quickly flew back to England.

MIC NY is not shaping out to be what I had quite expected it to be. They have lived up to the glamorous lifestyle however the drama just doesn’t seem to be as interesting as it was back in Knightsbridge, but perhaps it will get better.

Big Brother 2014 was a fiery season with more fights and arguments than we have ever witnessed before. The theme was all about Big Brothers power trip, in which each week a housemate or housemates were given the power to make powerful decisions in the house. The power did get to many people’s minds but the most shocking thing to have happened was Helen Wood winning this year, despite being the most hated, argumentative and controversial housemate.

Some other housemates who stood out were Mark Byron; the sassiest and funniest one in the group, Ashleigh Coyle; the innocent bee who turned into the Ice queen half way through the season, and the only one to properly stand up to Helen, Chris Wright; the most sarcastic yet smartest and fair housemate and not to forget Winston and Ash who brought eye candy yet a great bromance to the house.

 

I didn’t think Celebrity Big Brother could top this year’s original Big Brother yet it is managing to do a pretty good job. Big Brother has managed to find the most wackiest and outrageous housemates for CBB2014, such as playgirl Frency who is from France yet lives in LA, Kellie Maloney; who happened to be former boxing promoter Frank Maloney before taking on a sex change, strictly come dancing’s James Jordan, Geroge Gillbey from Channel 4’s Google Box, former TOWIE and Geordie Shore stars Lauren Goodger and Ricci Guarnaccio, former The Hills star Stephanie Pratt and White Dee from the documentary Benefits Street. 

e

We are already seeing small romances blossom between Lauren and Ricci and Stephanie and George as well as major arguments between many other housemates, so it definitely oozes great entertainment. Frency was also booted out of the house yesterday much to my happiness as I could not stand her crazy, unpredictable behaviour.

So much more is and has happened with these shows but I guess I just can’t squeeze it all in so that’s my brief recap of my reality TV fix.

Goodbyes and bad endings

The Made in Chelsea final this week wasn’t as explosive as the previous seasons but it wrapped up nicely and showed snippets of the coming MIC in NY which will be EPIC 😀 

The Alex and binky saga, which now drives me mad, continued to go on till the end, but this time round they were both made to look like idiots as everyone around them kept telling them they were clearly not meant to be together due to their bickering, yet they continued to stay together and were left completely friendless at the end. They gave a little speech to the group telling them all to stop giving their input on their relationship, but to be honest I think that just made them look even more foolish. They both look so sad and depressed in the relationship and the fact that Binky’s own mother is telling her Alex isn’t good for her should make alarm bells ring in her mind. Anyway we’ll just see if the relationship baggage continues to NY or is left in the UK. 

Jamie decided that he needed to keep away from Lucy and not be friends with her in order to get rid of his feelings for her; not a good idea in Lucy’s mind. Lucy, who will occasionally shed a tear showing she is not a robot, told Jamie that she wanted to remain friends with him but he said he couldn’t do that. However later when everybody took to Andy’s getaway mansion Lucy and Jamie shared a night together but apparently nothing had happened LOL. I wish Lucy would just put down her barriers and own up to her feelings for Jamie. 

Stevie and Steph said their final goodbyes as Steph left for LA. It became the first ever civil, nice breakup in MIC, not sure whether I found it as emosh as they wished to portray it on TV though haha. 

Louise and Fordy had their cook off in which sparks flew, despite Sam interrupting the date, and they later shared a kiss at the getaway.

The single boys all raved about their excitement at travelling to NY, especially Jamie and Spencer, so it’ll be great entertainment to watch that over the summer. 

For now MIC has come to an end but MIC-NY should be amaze balls and I can’t wait for that to begin in the summer. Bring on more posh nosh food, arguments, dramas, hook ups and love triangles!!

And it all comes to an end – Ex on the beach

Ex on the beach came to an end on Tuesday with its final episode. Things came to blows as Ashley dived in for Liam when he couldn’t deal with any more of his shit stirring, Ricci and Vicky attempted to bring closure to their negative history and some of the other couples attempted to tie up loose ends. 

Ashley got fed up of Liam’s shit stirring and confronted him, along with Ricci, when he could take no more. Ash charged in to attack Liam but but he just tried to walk away from him, and give him digs from afar. Ash was then made to leave the villa early on the last day due to his behaviour. Him and Talitha did however manage to end things on a positive note and even got back together after leaving the ex on the beach villa, however according to T’s tweet last night it looks like they’re once again broken up:

Ricci and Vicky attempted to put things to bed between them and reconcile their differences, however things didn’t pan out so well. Vicky tried to make Ricci feel as if he was in “her house” and Ricci wasn’t taking any of her nonsense, telling her she is simply a “bully”. After seeing the final episode I do feel sorry for Ricci and can see how it was completely unfair for him to be judged by everyone based on Vicky’s opinion, it was nice that Chloe stuck by his side despite many of the other girls siding with Vicky. The lads however did give Ricci a chance and he was accepted by many of them at the end. 

Dan was a complete gentleman throughout ex on the beach and I am quite gutted him and Vicky are no longer together, however I do believe that he was too good for her, and good for him for finding himself a lovely lady back in Aussie land. 

The oddest couple ever, Joss and Farah, didn’t end up together after the show finished; not a shocker at all. It seems that they only latched onto each other because they didn’t manage to find anyone else in the house. 

Ross and Shelby seemed like they would give their relationship a go again, but we then found out at the end that they never did continue things back in the U.K and Ross is still the player he always has been; no surprise. 

We also didn’t hear, see or learn much about Emma, Jack or even Chloe or Emily in the final episodes or many of the previous ones as the bigger characters took over. 

In the end it seemed that nobody managed to find love in the Ex on the beach villa, but it did make great TV and it was an awesome show. Hopefully there will be a season 2 and a variety of new ex’s and house-mates. 

All that’s left to say is WHO’S EX IS NEXT? 

Lockdown, lies and old Hollywood glam

Last night’s episode showed Alex being put on serious lock-down by Binky to improve his behaviour and prove that he is doing what it takes to win her over. The strict rules and regulations placed on Alex didn’t bode so well with the rest of the group, but Alex seems to be taking the whole ‘not being able to consume alcohol unless in the presence of Binky’ quite well. Lucy, Fran and the boys thought this rule was extremely pathetic and a daft punishment if they’re trying to get back together, and I have to agree with them, her mother like rules could push him away instead of bringing them closer; we’ll just have to see if the relationship works out in the near future.

Jamie was faced with the consequence of his web of lies when he told Lucy that he still had feelings for her but then told Riley he was into her and thought Lucy was a “Bitch”. The ever so nice but big-mouthed Stevie brought Jamie’s differing stories to light and made sure that Riley and Lucy were aware of what was going on in Jamie’s mind.

At the old Hollywood themed party, whilst Lucy and Jamie were getting comfortable together, Riley walked in and made it clear that she will not be walked all over by Jamie. She made it known to Lucy that Jamie had been bitching about her behind her back and also told them both that they still had a weird connection going on which she didn’t want to be a part of. Now that there aren’t any distractions between them I really do hope Lucy and Jamie stop wasting time and just get together already. 

Unbeknown to Fran, who started to develop feelings for newbie Fordy, some friendly competition was formed between Louise and him. They decided to have a cook off with one another to see who the better cook is; of course this was simply an excuse to go on a date together. Poor Fran was in her own little world thinking she may have a chance with Fordy but he’s already set his eyes on Louise, and this was made clear at the party when he told Fran she was being a “Third wheel”; awkwardddd. Smug Louise and Fordy then walked off together to make Martinis. 

Next week we’ll see how things patch up between Riley and Lucy but will the friendship continue after Lucy and Jamie share a night together? Let’s wait and see, it should be a good one 😀 

The long awaited arrival of the dreaded ex – Ex on the beach

Ricci finally arrived at the ex on the beach villa last night which caused major drama, panic and mayhem. Vicky completely freaked out when Ricci emerged from the sea, with nothing to say to him apart from “You little fucking tramp”. Chloe and Emily had Vicky’s back during the arrival as they stuck by her side and tried to calm her down when she cried and displayed her anger towards Ricci. 

The tablet of terror then made Chloe and Ricci go on a date in which Chloe judged Ricci from her own point of view instead of Vicky’s, and actually found him to be a decent guy. I did feel quite sorry for Ricci as he was pre judged by everyone due to Vicky’s opinions and he now has to change their opinions by trying to defend himself. 

Ashley’s encounter with joss didn’t end up in a complete fist fight, however him and Talitha came to blows once again, resulting in them breaking up. Ash took this great opportunity to flirt with Chloe and even share a bed with her; news which was later conveyed to Talitha by none other than shit stirrer Liam. For now Talitha and Ash have broken up but we’ll just have to see how long the break up lasts in this doomed relationship. 

Ross and Shelby were made to go on an awful date to the cemetery at which they shared a kiss but Ross didn’t manage to get lucky; Shame Rossy. 

Next week we’ll see how the first meeting of Dan and Ricci pans out and also how Ricci copes with the hatred of Vicky.

Noooo Jamie noooo – MIC

As much as I love Jamie his antics in lasts nights Made in Chelsea really irritated me; Lucy and Jamie make such a great couple so I think it was completely out-of-order for him to ask out her intern Riley. Why can’t the two of them just get back together already?! And then kissing Riley in front of Lucy was just completely unfair. Things however are looking up as it seems next week Laing will reveal that his feelings for Lucy just won’t go; yayyy the silver lining reappears. 

In the last few episodes I’ve really grown to like Lucy and her attitude, independence and ability to stand up for what she believes is right. I’ve been getting so bored of Binky’s story with Alex and her pathetic nature of going back to him after he cheats on her a gazillion times, but what has made the entire situation even more stupid is the way she has started to mend her relationship with Alex but break things off with her friends. We saw this week how Lucy, Cheska, Fran and even Louise were getting fed up of Binky’s reluctance to keep away from Alex. As much as these girls have supported her it seems that Binky only sees what she wants to and couldn’t care less about the love and support she’s gained from her friends. Binky really was one of my favourite MIC cast members but this relationship drama has brought her down in my ratings. 

In other MIC scenarios Steph and Stevie’s relationship seems to be going well; I still don’t know whether this relationship is real or not but I guess only time will tell. 

I can’t wait for next week’s episode in which Lucy and Jamie will hopefully reunite, fingers crossed 

The cast is currently in NYC filming for MIC-New York and this picture did make me a little giddy:

Love them as a couple #thatisall 

Another ex, more mayhem, more drama

An overcrowded house, the in pour of ex’s, secrets being exposed and ex’s rekindling their pasts all brought about a heap load of madness this week.

As more ex’s are beginning to enter the ex on the beach villa we are seeing lots of bed sharing taking place and ex’s revisiting where they left off. Chloe and Ross became extra flirty in last night’s episode and Ross told her that he felt that they had “unfinished business”, but just as quickly as he made this statement to her, the arrival of yet another one of his ex’s Shelby, showed how Ross is simply a ladies’ man or in other words ‘Marbella Ross’ as Vicky called him.

Chloe turned into a jealous ex yet again and immediately saw Shelby as her competition and threat by joining Ross is bed as he was in bed with Shelby, forcing Shelby to leave the bed.. Awkwardddd.

All was well in paradise for Ashley and Talitha as they became official boyfriend and girlfriend at the beginning of the episode, but the happiness didn’t last long. Talitha was made to go on a date with Joss, much to hers and Ashley’s annoyance, and it was a complete disaster, much to Ashley’s relief. But when Ash and Talitha got the opportunity to spend a night together whilst the others went out they ended up arguing and fighting. 

The next morning Talitha had a conversation with Joss in which it became clear that he had every intention to expose their previous kiss to Ashley. The fear of the truth coming caused Talitha to speak to Ashley and come clean, here’s when Ashley’s flipped his lid and went storming out to Jossy, seeing only red in his eyes. We’ll see in next week’s episode how this fight pans out. 

Farah and Jossy began hotting up even more but newbie Shelby also posed a threat to her as she is not only Ross’s ex but also Joss’s. Farah played it clever by getting information out of Shelby as to why she had come here and Shelby made it clear that she was there to get Ross back; music to Farah’s ears. 

Next week we may eventually see the much waited arrival of Ricci and how shit goes down between Vick and Ricc, it should be exciting.
