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.

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.

The Only Way is Essex

TOWIE returned on Sunday night with a Bang. Series eleven began with Billie Fairs and Greg Shepherds pregnancy news. We were able to see Billie having a scan in which the doctor was to tell her the sex of the baby. However we would not know of the sex yet as, in typical TOWIE style, there was going to be a huge party in honour of Billie’s pregnancy, and the sex of the baby would then be revealed.

The episode featured two big parties; Billie’s pregnancy party and Mario’s birthday party, which was extremely elaborate and over the top, in a rented party house.  

At Billie’s party she revealed to the gang that she was having a girl by cutting a cake and displaying the pink sponge instead of blue. She also gave them all another shock by announcing that Greg had proposed to her whilst they were on holiday, and of course she said yes! Billie looked extremely cute telling everyone all her exciting news 😀

Party time: Last week Billie was joined by her TOWIE castmates and she was presented with a baby cake

Gemma and Bobby’s awkwardness continued throughout the entire episode as they bitched about one another to everyone and insisted that they were waiting for the other to apologise first. At the end of the episode Arg got them both together and eventually they managed to sort out their differences and once again became BFF’s, awwwww.

I also cannot ignore the new and improved Mario. Single and looking extremely Suave, Mario definitely stole the show with his pimped out Range Rover, OTT party house, dapper suits and flirtatious behaviour; especially towards the newbie Grace, who happen’s to be playing both Mario and Lewis, Hello player 😉 Gemma referred to Mario as The Wolf of Essex and he seems to be loving the title as he posted this picture on Instagram:

Mario’s birthday bash turned out to be a huge success and everyone had a good time. Well everyone except Charlie and Ferne. They tried to mend their broken relationship at the beginning of the episode but it went completely downhill by the end; Charlie had heard many rumours that Ferne had cheated on him and they had a full blown argument. Charlie threw out the accusation to Ferne and she denied the entire thing, he then called her a hypocrite and mocked the “crocodile tears” that were to come. Charlie also told Ferne that there was no chance they would get back together and Ferne was so disgusted by Charlie’s behaviour that it doesn’t seem like she’ll be wanting that reconciliation any time soon. I have to say though that Charlie is looking very smart in this series, even more so than Mario, and I didn’t think that was possible.

Sam Fairs also spoke about her Crohns disease on the episode, and shared a cosy moment with her mum and sister Billie. Billie and their mum couldn’t stop crying but Sam simply laughed and tried to put on a brave face.

The first episode has already has so much drama, I cant wait to see what’s to come throughout the series.
