I feel like crap but I just cannot wait another minute to watch Couples Therapy. This is just going to be toooo delicious. I also hate watching shows I blog without blogging. I like giving instant feedback. So forgive the many upcoming writing issues and short cuts. But I cannot WAIT to see this. But before we get started y’all need to go read the exclusives on Starcasm about Farrah’s boyfriend being a hoax. Nothing she says about this guy is true. He agreed to fake it and then backed out at the last minute.
Oh how the fake housewife has fallen. She has gotten to the point where she wants to exploit her ex-husband’s suicide on national TV for ill gotten gain. And all the while faking relationship problems with the new relationship victim in her life John Bluher. She has been tweeting for months about how perfect everything is with John, and already she is ready to throw him under the bus for a dollar. This poor fool had a wife and young children when she sunk her claws of evil into him. And now, she is ready to crucify him on reality TV. Will he be the next guy she drives to suicide? My money is on yes. One day John is going to realize what a horrible mistake he made.
Taylor and John arrive first. And the bullshit begins right away. Taylor says it took her a year of being alone and she never thought she would meet someone again. See, I worry this whole season is going to suck for me because we know the real story. At the time of Russell’s suicide, I opted not to post much about it. I could see that Taylor was having mental health issues. I was appalled by all the people mean tweeting her, and thought it might push her over the edge. And then she was immediately writing a book about Russell and taking their kid to book signings and eventually was engaged after a long dating period less than two years later. So I no longer feel the obligation to go soft on her. Especially as she continues to exploit the suicide of her child’s father for financial gain.
Taylor says she has PTSD. Maybe she does. Taylor brought her assistant to roll her luggage and unpack her undies. I am sure Taylor demanded to arrive first and have top billing. SMDH.
Then we have Ghostface and Kelsey. I am not interested. Bitch is sitting there singing the praises of her grown ass man with his sideways hat and stank face on. I believe the big reveal will be his wife, or three other girls who thought they were the only one, or perhaps a procession of baby mammas asking where the child support at. Ghostface doesn’t even seem to be sure what this one’s name is. These two disgust me. I may not mention them again.
I have never seen The Real L Word. But I kinda like Whitney and Sada.
Farrah says she finds all the media attention odd. Since she is the one selling stories to the media, clearly we cannot believe a word out of her mouth. OMG. Now she is saying she had a relationship with someone in the porn industry and she is not in the porn industry, she just made a sex tape with her boyfriend who is in the industry. WHY DOES VH1 think we are buying this crap? She was all over the news shopping herself to porn outlets begging to make a porno. And because of that porno sex tape, she, as “business woman” decided to mold her nether regions to make sex toys. But those of you who think she is in the porn industry are idiots and she feels sorry for you for not understanding how business works.
Then the fake story replete with fake phone calls in the limo begins. I will spare you the whole load of BS.
At the first group meeting, we realize that Farrah cannot act. If her BS storyline is going to overshadow the show, this season will suck. Did they even show John and Liz moving in? The whole initial group seemed to be all about Farrah. Oh wait, they were not even there at all. They show up in the next episode. According to this post, they were sort of a last minute addition. So that makes sense.
I think last season with Joe Francis and Flava Flav will be hard for this group to live up to. What did y’all think?
Accidentally caught this while waiting for Mob Wives. Only 2 episodes I ever saw before were when Alex and Simon of RHONY were on…and now Taylor Armstrong & her lawyer and that extreme teen porn queen?
What irony. Is this show the very last reality show stop before real hell? SMDH.
So glad you saw that too let alone recap it. Have to sleep and re-visit that jolt tomorrow:0
There is something so very RUSSEL about John.
I’m glad you’re recapping it, I don’t think I can watch this season. No one interests me and I’ll break my TV if I have to look/listen to that silly trick Farrah. Thanks for taking ANOTHER one for the team, TT! 🙂
Haven’t watched the show yet. I’ve only seen the previews. My immediate questions: Why is Taylor Armstrong appearing on Couple’s Therapy? Is she selling her new relationship for the fee? Could she be missing her Bravo cheque? I thought she had found the “love of her life” and she was “finally happy” or, are all of the smiling images and declarations on her Twitter timeline total fabrication? It feels very Ewwwwww! Is this how you’re proposing to make your living Taylor? Hopping from reality show to reality show? what’s next? X Factor?
@VivaLaDiva there’s something so right about your comment. He does seem a bit like the ol’ lad doesn’t he? :/ I was interested to know why the chick with Ghostface Killah was still there when he said,”I’m here to support her in therapy….,” No. Just NO sir. You are there to do therapy with her. Smh. And Farrah,I just hope she stops seeking the wrong kind of attention.
Put dark hair (well, balding dark hair) and glasses on John and it is Russell. Even their voices are the same sound! It’s crazy. They share that nerdiness factor. This guy seems to be more loving and caring than Russell. To leave a wife and children, and go on national tv with someone who is still having trouble getting over their ex? I think he is pretty well head over heels for Taylor. But why?
Haha…I have to edit one thing in my comment^^^
“He seems more loving and caring…leaves a wife and young children. I meant to say he seems more timid and into her than Russell. Obvi he wasn’t very loving and caring to his family.
So I now I’m sick in bed with some sort of flu, and as I was way too lazy to change the channel, I just caught this episode again. As others have said, Taylor’s new man looks soooooo much like Russel. It’s freaking me out. They have the EXACT same eyes, mannerisms, voice, etc. Spooky.
Also had to lol that after mispronouncing his “girlfriend’s” name, the only thing that rapper guy said about his gf when (obviously) asked what he likes about her is that she can rub his back and that she is clean. Geeez… for the love of all that is fake, couldn’t he have come up with something a little better than that!?!
I can’t look at Dr. Jen the same anymore now that we know she’s just a big ole liar. 🙁
Oh I love the Real L Word. Didn’t know Whit and Sada would be on. I just might have to watch because of them. They have a heavy history. It doesn’t help that Sada’s family is umm traditional so weren’t 100% supportive about her marrying a chic.
I never watched the real L word, but I already find them the most likeable and interesting of the bunch. That includes next week’s addition of Jon Gosselin. It’s pretty sad when the people I’m looking most forward to seeing on the show are people I have never even heard of. Even more sad that stupid me is still going to watch. I’m just a hopeless reality tv junkie.
I think this season will be interesting. Farrah looks sooo ridiculous. Those lips. That hair. The TEETH!! She looks like a 37 year old divorcee from my home state of Texas!
Last season was good, but this one looks promising too. Ghost Face seems like he might be a bit of a “loose cannon” and I think they are only on the show b/c his girlfriend wants a bit of exposure.
Why do I feel like John and Farrah could have sexed each other before?
I’m still confused about last season. Did Liz ever actually give birth? I went to Flav’s twitter to see if he mentioned it but there’s nothing about Liz at all. Oh and his mom passed away New Year’s Eve.
I was wondering the same thing! What happened to the baby?
On one of these VH1 shows — celebrity rehab, I think – didn’t they kick out and then re edit the show because they found someone was faking it for camera time (Michaela salahi from RHDC). I wish they would do the same with Farrah.
They don’t. According to the Starcasm article, Dr. Jenn is swearing that no one knew it was fake. Despite emails from Brian to production.
Apparently this “boyfriend” does end up making an appearance.
No, no he does not. He is all over the tabloids showing proof that they tried to force him to come even though he had not signed a contract yet. He has totally proven that the whole show is a farce and Dr. Jenn knew the whole time, probably. Allegedly.
I’d like to believe that Dr. Jenn did not know….. but…. sigh.
I was confused because in the preview they show a guy coming to see her and he’s talking about why he didn’t want to be with her anymore. I see someone commented here that that’s some other ex boyfriend of hers. Since I only watched her show once or twice, I didn’t know who he was. I did see her interview with Dr. Phil though, so I have a good idea of what she’s all about (not good).
The guy they showed making an appearance is Daniel, a guy she had a few dates with and went to Texas with on Teen Mom.
I have to say I am a little confused over what Taylor is still having a problem getting over with Russell. He is dead. If I was beaten and emotionally abused by someone, um ding dong the witch is dead!!!! I would probably be more traumatized from finding a dead body than having this person gone, who I’m in the middle of divorcing, out of my life permanently. Maybe it is more so grief on Kenadi’s behalf for having such a tragic story about her father at aug a young age. I don’t know, I think Taylor needs therapy, just not COUPLE’S therapy. I just think it’s about as relevant as Farrah coming alone.
I’ve always had a huge lust-crush on Whitney, but haven’t watched recently and didn’t realize she had married Sada. When I did watch though, Whitney’s biggest problem was that she couldn’t keep it in her pants, er, or keep her hands in her pockets. Whatever. I hope she and Sada really have found happiness though.
I just can’t with Farrah. I’ve seen these exact same crying scenes from her before. OVER and OVER. The whole trumped up storyline is ludicrous – from her own words she just met the guy a few months ago, they weren’t living together, they obviously weren’t even flying on the same plane together… So they broke up, so move on, WHO CARES. From the previews it looks like they’re bringing back the guy who smartly dumped her back on Teen Mom. Farrah is a classic sociopath who lives in her own reality and has learned to manipulate people with her crying, but it doesn’t seem to be working any more. (Except with her dumbass parents)
They didn’t have a season this last summer, production/Showtime wanted to go a different route away from the standard reality tv format and then nothing more was heard. They got married on the last season of reality format. It was a beautiful wedding.
Forgot to add, they are the only reason I’ll watch this show and I’ll ffwd through parts that have nothing to do with them. I don’t care (Taylor) or know (Farrah/Ghostface – never heard of him) about the rest of the cast.
That was one of the few shows that seemed to be actual Reality. There were some characters I couldn’t stand, but a lot that I liked very much – regardless, they all seemed pretty real. And again, Whitney & Sada seem to be the only real couple on Couples Therapy.
I am confused! Here name is Sara, not Sada, right? I watched their show and am pretty sure it is Sara. Anyhoo, not that it matters but I think Couples Therapy got it wrong.
Yeah, I am sure Couples Therapy doesn’t know the name they put on the contracts, and you are absolutely right. You might also want to contact them and the people at HBO and let them all know of their errors.
Her name is Sada Bettencourt actually.
Well I know SHE thinks that is her name, but clearly,it must be Sara! 🙂
Sada is Portuguese and I guess the R is pronounced as a D but I think she may have actually changed from Sara to Sada. I remember being confused about her name when I watch the real l word.
Just because I’m a need to know person, I went sleuthing, and on her Facebook page she has her name as Sara Bettencourt (Sada Mixter).
The Farrah character looks like a ’50’s Stepford wife in that pic, down to that polka dot jacket and luau flowered dress.
It’s hard to be surprised about anything Reality TV related, but Taylor on this show did surprise me. For all of her issues and failures, I thought she may have found an out and moved off to a modicum of real world bliss with her stolen lawyer.
II guess that Reality TV is like heroin for these people – addicted after one needle and they’ll be chasing the dragon until the last stop, Celeb Rehab.
I agree. I had actually thought that after all that Taylor had gone through with the whole Russell thing, and everything that went along with it that she had gone off and smartly decided to try and live a normal off camera life for herself, but more importantly for her daughter. I thought it was cool that she left LA and all of that, and it improved my opinion of her, but I guess she’s not done selling her soul to the devil yet. That guy needs to RUN!
No matter what I thought of Taylor & her antics on RHOBH, I do think she’s been through a hell on earth whether of her own making or otherwise, and her little girl dragged along for the ride.
Hooking up w/ her married lawyer wasn’t a good look, but I did think good for her for getting out of LA and trying to start anew and maybe her little girl has a chance too.
BUT NOW, she does this show and drags (or followed) prince charming with her. There goes all his prince-charminess! For money he does this to his children and their mother? Pretty messed up. They deserve Russell’s ghost haunting them. Sad.
I saw in a promo a while ago that Dr Jen says that Taylor is the most difficult (diva acting) person she has ever dealt with.
Oh, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why Taylor needs/has an assistant. What has she been doing that requires an assistant. And her boyfriend’s comment that her time can be used better elsewhere than unpacking and folding her clothes, and then they show her sitting there drinking what appeared to be a cocktail? Puh-leeease. He must be a total sucker lap dog.
Taylor needs an assistant to wipe her ass when she is black out drunk! No seriously, he is probably her adult baby sitter.
ladysitter. MJ from Shahs has one.:)

Re Taylor being deemed a diva on this show, just from that smirk on her face in the pic above, I don’t doubt that at all.
A bubble at the top of her head should say “whatever, bitch, I’m here for the money, my man and me are fine, I don’t even remember by dead husband’s middle name, but by all means go ahead and I’ll pretend to listen while you give advice. I’ll spurt some tears in a bit”!
What does MJ from Shahs actually do with her Ladysitter ?
Why didn’t Farrah just do the show with her Dad? They clearly have incestuous relationship issues to work out!
OMG! No you didn’t! lol
C’mon! Everyone was thinking it!
yep. been thinking the same thing since the episode daddy drove her home after getting her first set of bolt-on titties.
What grabs me is the aftermarket reveal that VH1 knew that Farrah’s “boyfriend” was a fake. The turd called in and told them (prior to the crapshoot) that he wasn’t gonna show because he was all of a sudden having “morals” show up…Really?!? So that means, the Doc knew too. . .don’t cha think!
NOW. . .that makes the scene even more ludicrous, where Doc made FakerFarrah sit by herself and explain why FF is there “alone”. FF had to pull up all of her previous dead kitty and dead doggie memories to magic her FF tears up from her cotton mouth. FF musta been crappin’ a couple of pebbles into her thong at that moment. Was she squirmin’????
I wonder, just how many shooters she heaved at the Doc at the show rap that night! I’m bettin’ the Doc finesse caught each one of them and tossed them right back at ‘er!
I’d label FF a low life scum sucking pig, but that’s a MAJOR INSULT to the LLSSP!!! And no LLSSP deserves to be lumped into FF’s category of
_ _ _ _ _ (you fill in your favorite Sh*t Heel descriptor here)!
Who gives a sh#t Sara or Sada more importantly money talks and she can be bought I mean booked . Why would you want to book a married chick anyway.You can find a hot chick for free here in LA. Glad the show is over sucked mob wives is the sh#t.
