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.

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? 

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. 

Dan’s the man – Ex on the beach

Fit Dan from Australia rocked up on ex on the beach last night with the hopes of rekindling his relationship with Vicky. 

Dan appeared on Geordie shore when the gang went to Australia and had a little holiday romance with Vicky, since then they haven’t met so when he came yesterday it was a breath of fresh air to watch somebody get excited with the arrival of their ex. Smitten Vicky ran to the sea to welcome Dan and they quickly picked up where they left off. She did have the dreaded news to tell him about her short fling with Ross but Dan, being cool as a cucumber, took the news pretty well and they exchanged a cheeky little smooch.

Frankie officially left the villa yesterday as she was taken ill and was unable to continue to appear on the show. Marco was very excited by this news instead of worrying about his on/off girlfriend (twat) the other’s also seemed extremely relieved by her exit. 

Talitha and Liam were made to go on a date together by the tablet of terror and, surprisingly, had a great time. Talitha managed to get the stirrer to open up about his feelings and relationship history and they have managed to form a bond together; much to the annoyance of Ashley. When Talitha began speaking to Liam about her relationship with Ashley, Ash did not seem very pleased by it and it looks like he may have reached his boiling point.

All the girls formed an ‘I hate Chloe’ gang this week and, when confronted by Farah about her flirtatiousness with the guys and ignoring of the girls, Chloe realised she has probably made a major mistake and has decided she is now going to be ‘team girls’.

Next week we’ll see more arrivals and more mayhem take place. 

The claws come out – MIC

The claws were definitely out in last nights episode, and for people like Louise and Lucy there was no apparent reason. The cheating fiasco continued with Alex and Binky, and the battle to get Riley concluded when Stevie and Riley kissed at a random guys party. 

Louise and Lucy appeared to be good friends up until this weeks episode when Louise started bitching about Lucy, and Lucy is clearly not the type of person to sit back and say nothing. When Louise, Binky and Stephanie went for drinks  and discussed Binky’s reuniting with Alex, or should I say the night when they ‘held hands’, Louise seemed to be encouraging Binky to get back with Alex as she loved him so much. Stephanie of course was not for this idea and said she would never get back with somebody if they cheated on her. The discussion quickly turned to Lucy, and Louise began to call Lucy ‘arrogant’ and very ‘judgemental’. Stephanie relayed Louise’s feelings to Lucy at a netball match that the girls all participated in and Lucy had it out with Louise at a party. Rosie jumped in to defend Louise but Lucy told her to say out of it. She then told Louise to stop encouraging Binky to stay with Alex and Louise believed she was being a better friend by supporting her instead of showing her touch love. Personally I think the tough love Lucy shows is way better than the puppy dog behaviour Binky is showing, and Louise has showed in the past. 

Things seemed to bet getting better for Alex and Binky as they tried to work on their relationship after sharing a night together. Mummy Felstead was not for the patch up but evidently Binky did not want to hear other people’s opinions. All was going well until Lucy decided Binky ought to hear about the many more rumours that were spiralling, the already disappointed Binky just head her held in shame and anger. She confronted Alex about the continuing rumours and he admitted that they were all true; things are just not looking up for these two. In next week’s episode she will be giving him a nice juicy slap. Cant wait to see that. 

The Riley-Stevie-Sam drama came to a conclusion when Riley and Stevie shared a kiss in front of Sam. Poor Sam looked devastated and it seems he’ll be having a lot more girl issues in next week’s episode. 

That’s all for now lets see what next week brings 😀

Another ex rocks the boat – Ex on the beach

Once again we saw another ex arrive at the ex on the beach villa to cause more chaos and drama; not that there wasn’t enough of it already.

‘Frankenstein’, as Emily calls Frankie, once again was raging about the other girls not liking her and argued with Marco about him not being allowed to go on a date with Emily; the poor guy just can’t catch a break. The funny thing was that ‘the tablet of terror’ sent Marco and Emily on a date, much to the annoyance of Frankie, and they actually had a good time. When they returned Frankie tried to have a word with Emily but she was having none of it and told her directly that she would be civil with her but she didn’t want anything to do with her.

The ex of Ross, Emma Jane, arrived this week which made things even more confusing as now the ex’s of ex’s are arriving; this being Chloe’s ex’s ex. Chloe – Ross – Emma Jane. Emma didn’t stir up much trouble this week but we’ll see what happens in the coming weeks. Her arrival however did cause more tension for Ross as he is now juggling three women; Chloe, Vicky and Emma. Ross and Vicky shared a lovely night together but things went downhill when he bragged about it to the boys the next day. They were then made to go on a date but Vicky was not happy with Ross’ boasting and left him midway a romantic carriage ride; I guess that relationship is over.

Ashley finally got his wish and went on a date with Chloe. They shared a great night together but his ex Talitha was very uneasy about it all and she caught on that Ashley does fancy Chloe. To try to get her own back she had a little tennis date with Jack which did make Ashley a little jealous but he knew what she was up to. In the end the two continued to flirt, bicker and then flirt some more. CONFUSING.

Many more ex’s are yet to arrive as the ex’ of Farah, Emily, Jack, Vicky and Liam haven’t appeared yet. We also need to see more ex boyfriends come in as so far many ex girlfriends have been entering.

Let’s see who’s ex is next and how it kicks off all over again. Round 10 ting ting ting 

Psycho ex girlfriends and heated drama – Ex on the beach

In this weeks Ex on the Beach we saw Marco’s ex girlfriend Frankie become a complete and utter psycho. I mean we could already tell she was from the get go when she told Marco that he can’t go on any more dates, but in this second episode we also saw how gullible she was when she believed Liam that Marco actually liked Emily, of-course this was simply Liam trying to stir up some trouble. We then saw Frankie storm back to the house and pounce on Marco on his return. When it became knowledge that this was simply a lie Mad Frank continued to go off on Marco and told him to “Be a man about things instead of being an absolute girl.” Things then kicked off between the men but Liam stuck by his lie just to see a bit of drama occur.

The most shocking thing was that despite knowing Marco doesn’t have feelings for Emily, Frankie continued to put restrictions on him and this brought Emily to her boiling point, ending in an argument between Frankie vs Vicky and Emily. In this round it seems like Vicky and Emily won as we saw Frankie pack up to leave the house at the end of the episode. 

Vicky went on her third date with Ross, Chloe’s ex, and things have started to hot up between them. The funny thing is that although Chloe is having her own little fling with Ashley she can’t help but get jealous and moody when she sees Vicky and Ross return from a date; You can’t have your cake and eat it too love!

We also saw another ex arrive this week which was Ashley’s ex Talitha, a very pretty lady who looks very much like Nicole Scherzinger in my opinion. She was not as crazy or psycho like Frankie but was very vocal about the fact that she was here to get Ashley back. Her arrival was veryyyyy awkward as Ashley was giving Chloe a back massage, and on Talitha’s arrival Chloe struggled to get her bikini top back on.  Ashley made it clear that he did still have feelings for Talitha but that he still wanted to explore things with Chloe and go on a date with her. 

I’m still eagerly waiting on the arrival of Vicky’s ex Ricci as we know that’s when shit will go through the roof. But I think his arrival is being saved till the end. Let’s wait and see who’s ex is next! 😀

 

Heartache and Come Backs – MIC

Last night we watched Binky and Alex struggle post the revealing of Alex’ cheating. Binky flew off to New York for a few days with her mother to take a time out and Alex stayed put in Chelsea, being forced to hear the opinions of others. Jamie found it necessary to tell Alex that the best thing for him to do is to not be with Binky and this absurd idea stuck in Alex’ mind. 

When Binky returned and Alex went to meet her they had an emotional conversation in which Alex relayed to Binky that he didn’t feel that they should be together. In his words he simply wants Binky ‘to be happy’. Binky of course felt like an idiot as at first she got cheated on and now she was being dumped. (Spoiler alert for anyone who’s not on twitter) Let’s just hope we watch Alex do some grovelling over the next few episodes as according to twitter it seems that they are currently back together. 

Louise’s brother Sam seems to becoming more of a character on the show instead of just a spare part as he is now going to be involved in a little Chelsea drama. With his ex Riley on the show it seems that a little competition will begin as Stevie wants to take her on a date and Sam will be adamant on trying to win Riley back; something which we will be seeing in the next episode. 

We also saw the return of the Pratt last night, Stephanie Pratt I am referring to. The LA beauty came back to the show and stirred up a little trouble when she told Spencer what an ‘asshole’ he is at Rosie’s party. The entire showdown was extremely awkward to watch and the only comment we did hear was from Rosie commenting on Stephanie’s dress ‘I must say her dress was pretty rank’. Stephanie responded to Rosie’s comment on twitter:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jamie being the cutie he is invited himself on Lucy, Stephanie and her friend Eric’s Venice trip which we will witness next week. Spencer also got invited and it seems there will be more drama overseas. 

 

Ex on the beach

This trashy yet addictive show started last night and I couldn’t help but watch it to see what it was all about.

A similar show to Geordie Shore, Ex on the beach was full of drinking, partying, hooking up and lots of vomit. As much as I hate to watch these kinds of shows they somehow become my guilty pleasure. Unlike Geordie shore however, Ex on the beach has  a decent concept as it is all about finding a holiday romance with a twist.

Eight hot singletons were sent to a hot holiday destination with the hopes and belief that they were about to find love or at least have a short holiday fling with a hottie. The singletons included:

Vicky Pattinson from Geordie Shore – 

Chloe – 

Marco –

Emily – 

Liam – 

Farah – 

Ashely – 

Jack –

 

The sexy eight thought that they were there to simply mingle, flirt and go on dates with one another in order to find the ‘one’ or a fling. However all was not as it seemed as little known to the cast, all their ex’s would be showing up to ruin the party and cause chaos; a concept which is quite different and reason why I liked it.

After a day of getting to know each other, partying and vomiting (not a nice thing to watch when you’re eating) one by one the ex’s of the members began to show up. First came Chloe’s ex Ross, whom she seemed very excited to see, running up to him when he emerged from the water and wrapping her legs around him. However Chloe refused to tell the others that she had anything to do with Ross and simply stated that they were just friends. This statement didn’t do her any favours as as soon as Ross began to get close to Vicky Chloe’s mood changed and the water works began. 

The second ex to emerge and shock the group was Marco’s ex Frankie, and she seemed like a complete psycho questioning Marco straight away on whether he had been on any dates, and when he said he had she announced “You’re not going on another one. You think I’m joking? I’m being serious. I’m here – you can’t go on a date with another girl. I’m here” Awkwardddd.

Next week we’ll see more ex’s arrive and the most dreaded of all –  Vicky’s ex Ricci. Things are going to blow up and I know I wont be missing it. 

 

Aaaaaand it’s true.. Alex cheated on Binky – MIC

After all the rumours, lies and investigations the truth finally came out about Alex cheating on Binky in last nights MIC… And unfortunately it was true.

After Cheska received the strange text in last weeks episode, last night we watched her struggle with the decision of whether she should tell Binky of the information or not. After a few conversations with Stevie and her mother she came to the decision of letting Binky know the truth, and she did this at Lucy’s birthday party. There’s always drama at a MIC party.

As soon as Cheska approached Binky she already knew something  was up as Binky questioned Cheska curiously saying “what”, Cheska finally revealed that the rumours were true and a friend close to Alex had told her Alex had cheated on Binky.

Alex then approached the girls and very lamely used the excuse to Binky that he goes through nights where he can’t remember what happened due to being too drunk. By this time Binky was already hysterical and didn’t even want Alex to touch her, claiming she was so stupid for even believing his lies. Now that the truth has finally come out we’ll see whether what’s left of this relationship will survive or not. 

It was also nice to see Spencer get a taste of his own medicine last night as he got turned down by his most recent crush Emma. After turning up late to Louise’s singles dinner last week and allowing Emma to go by herself, Spencer decided to try to make things up with Emma by taking her on fancy date. On the date he asked her to be his girlfriend to which she responded she liked the way things were going, the flirting and all, and she didn’t think he was mature enough to be in a relationship. Despite Spencer trying to convince her she was the one and he was waiting for the one to settle down with Emma simply responded ‘no’. Ha in your face Matthews 😀 

Next week we’ll see the return of Stephanie Pratt as she’s now BFF’s with Lucy Watson. Wooo love me some American accent and a member of The Hills. And of course there’ll be lots more drama with her return, which we just love.
