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!!

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
