The show opens with Melissa teaching her three children how to dance like strippers as she and Joe Gorga pack for the big retreat. Joe Gorga only wants to go so that he can confront Teresa, which seems like a totally healthy way to approach family counseling. Kathy and Rich have no idea why they were even invited in the first place, so they pack extra booze. The only person who seems to really want to be there is Rosie, so good on her. Continue reading

After Betsey Johnson’s Best Show Ever, it’s Betsey’s Birthday Week. Betsey now has to “connect to the computer world,” which is the final step in her three-point plan to relaunch her brand. Jeez. She wants to sell you her crap on her website. This’ll be rich. Betsey focuses on her website by looking like Iggy Pop’s discarded remains during a tanning slash lunch session. Continue reading

Welcome to Occidental College! The five remaining designers will be making over the common room of a fraternity house, and a sorority house. The introduction mostly goes on about something about Alpha Sigma Lambda Phi Mega Alpha. That turns out to mean that the teams will be taking on two separate rooms at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and Alpha Lambda Phi Alpha sorority–so it’s girls against the boys. Continue reading

Melissa
Melissa’s husband, JoeGorga, pulls up in the driveway saying, “Bitch, yer wife, yer wife, yer f**king wife, bitch,” which I assume is a song? He’s pissed. He had a rough afternoon and doesn’t want to talk in front of his daughter. It’s about his run-in with Teresa at the gym. It turns out Melissa actually did what Teresa said she did, and now JoeGorga is pissed because it’s his sister and “don’t talk sh*t about my sister.” He’s nothing if not eloquent. In other words, he’s nothing. Continue reading

As you may have noticed, I watch a lot of television. Like, hours and hours and hours of television. And none of it is sports, with one notable exception: the Tour de France. Yes, I know, doping scandal, blah blah blah. But really, there’s more to the race than peeing in a cup. So forget everything you know about the Tour de France (which for most Americans starts and finishes with a rider whose name rhymes with Prance Smarmstrong), and let me give you ten good reasons why the Tour de France is the best thing on television this summer.

With two days until the big fashion show, Betsey meets with Brandon about the model fittings. Ooh! Cyndi Lauper is going to open the show! The first part will be thirty looks from each decade, and there are five decades of vintage…so that’s a whole lot of clothing. The second part of the show is all about branded products, also known as Things With Betsey’s Name On Them. The last part is a prom dress tutu extravaganza. And finally, for who the heck knows what reason, LuLu is popping out of a cake. That’s disturbing, right? To ask your daughter to pop out of a cake like a stripper? Continue reading
