Are YOU Douche Worthy?



Man I love this show…can I be April? Leave my lucrative techie job in NY to become a cocktail waitress in Vegas? Wait a minute, what am I talking about? I so want to be Jack! Even if HE is a butter-face, he’s a guy, and a DJ, and probably has hot women throwing themselves at him. I would just sit back and take the easy street to paradise city. Wait, no, I would be gay, that way, it’ll have hot guys throwing themselves at me. This IS Vegas, and the possibilities are endless.

We begin with a dinner of the blondies, and an ugly girl/roommate seems to be the conversation driver tonight. She asks what Jenner Jenner did with wussy boy #1 - Jack and she said they went hiking. “That must have been exciting” chimed in Fameron. Jenner Jenner tells everyone that she thinks Jack wants her.

Uh-oh Jenner Jenner’s ex-bf wants to get in touch with her, and as we find out from the voice over (cause it would be just too hard to show us, not tell us) that Jenner Jenner’s heart is still being pulled by her ex-bf. Dramatic music is cued…duhn duhn duhn.

Wussy boy #2 (Rick) calls Fameron to ask her on a date? Nope, their just good friends. What’s sick is that it’s a Styx concert AND they get to meet them back stage! Wow. Ok. Let’s get pumped for Styx! Does this recap have an unusually bitter tone to it?

Back to Jenner Jenner…she tells her butter-all roommate about her ex-bf and she starts crying because, hmm, I don’t know. I guess she’s conflicted? Not sure. At some point in the convo, one of them says Jack is a good guy. Actually Jack is a bit of a douche, and a gigantic wuss; but hey tomato, tomahto.

In rehearsal, Rick tells his band mates that his manager thinks he should go solo, but then feels like a gigantic ass and back pedals, telling his band mates that they’re a team and a group, and should stay together. Or maybe it was his passive aggressive way of telling them that the band is holding him back, so shape up.


The Second Coming

Jenner Jenner and butter-all go to see Jack riding his dirt bike around sand dunes, while the ladies contemplate if he’s hurting his baby maker. More ex-bf talk from Jenner Jenner; she just doesn’t know what to do. I wonder if she should find out what her ex-bf wants in the first place. Maybe he just wants his Styx wife beater he left behind at her apartment.

At the Styx after party, Rick decides to tell the band his dilemma about going solo, leaving Fameron to just stare awkwardly and not add anything to the conversation. You know, if I ever get to meet James, I think I will ask him about my career path, that seems like a great use of time for everyone. In the car, Fameron asks the question that’s like a pink elephant in the room: “So what’s up with you and April?” I am SO going to talk like this next time I am hanging out with friends. We get a very thoughtful and introspective answer from Rick: “April’s cool.” Deep!

Butter-face is having a meeting, wearing a fur and gigantic hand cuffs as earrings, probably life-size, about her girls’ guide to Las Vegas book. And now we’re at the release party of said book, where butter-face sees Jenner Jenner and Jack cuddling, so she calls Jenner Jenner over and says something totally dumb and confusing then clanks Champaign glasses with her. See, she’s keeping her enemies closer, except we can all tell that it’s a thinly veiled attempt.

We’re back to Rick’s dilemma about abandoning her, err his band mates. I’m over this. April finally makes an appearance 16 minutes into a 30 minute show. Hello producers of Paradise City, she’s a playboy playmate!!

Finally we come to something worth talking about. April, who made a home cooked dinner of delivery pizza, is telling Rick about why butter-face doesn’t want her to date Rick – because Rick doesn’t treat April like a princess. Rick’s big come-back? ‘Well, yeah I’m broke, I have no money, I drive a crappy car.’ Then he sends a message to Molly through April – “Go F yourself.” Classy! Ok, let’s take a break. This was JJ’s big retarded mistake too, the men think that to treat a woman like a princess is to douse her with a stream of cash, but that’s not it at all. Being treated like a princess or a lady for those non-prissy of us, has nothing to do with money. He can start by actually looking at her when he talks to her, and not dissing her friends, even if she is mad at them. Geez, will men and women ever get this right?

When butter-face gets a text at her party that April can’t make it, everyone throws it in her face that she’s her best friend, and that April is dissing her. Ha! I love this group of people, turning each other on each other. Such thoughtful people. I am so glad I have real friends, and not clowns like these.


Backstabbing Best Friends

Jenner Jenner goes to Jack’s house for dinner, where he awaits her with the collar up on his undersized polo shirt. Wow, this seems like such a romantic interlude between these two uncomfortable idiots. Jack tells Jenner Jenner in an attempt to find out more about her, that she’s sweet, but sweet gets boring. See Rick, THAT’S treating a girl like a princess! And it costs nothing. Oh wait, that was an awful, dick thing to say, and an obvious attempt to control the situation. I’m so glad he’s on TV doing it. Jenner Jenner asks Jack when the last time he’s been in love, and he says he doesn’t know. You see, he hasn’t been shown from someone else to allow him to let his guard down and feel that way. Gosh golly Jenner Jenner, are YOU good enough for Jack??? No one has been thus far. This guy is a nightmare! More riveting convo ensues: “Tell me what you’re thinking about,” “nothing.”

Show Recommendations, Part IV

I am the bull's eye for who Paradise City was targeted to. I freakin' LOUVRE this show!


Paradise City is an awesome show about young singles living in Las Vegas. As you can imagine, just knowing that, I was already sold on this gem. The characters are the ones that make this all work, but I am a sucker for anything set in Sin City.

Great thing #1: The Maloof brothers are in this show. Well, at least the ugly, less famous Maloof bro has made it so far on screen. I don’t know his first name (and really who cares) but he has a little protégé named JJ who is about 23.


A Maloof and JJ - The Kings of Sin City

Now imagine a 23 year-old in Vegas working for the Maloofs, who practically own Las Vegas! I so want to be him. He gets to throw parties at the Palms Fantasy Suites that are not occupied that night, and so he did for a Playboy Playmate – April, the only brunette in the bunch. She is of course, very beautiful, but there’s something off about her. Which is probably why she appeals to all of man kind – the illusive beautiful women with something just slightly off that makes her so special.


The Stunning, The Beautiful, The Playboy Bunny

April left an 'architectural landscaping carreer' in Chicago to be whore in Vegas. Sounds like wise choice. April has a friend named Molly, a fake blonde who wears a ton of mascara and hot pink lip gloss. Great thing #2: her not-so-friendly-friends called her a Butter Face on the show! If you listen to K&B you should know what a Butter Face is!


I Can't Believe It's Not Molly!

Molly likes Jack, but Jack just wants to be friends. Jack likes Jenner, a competitor to Molly in entertainment reporting. Molly hates Jenner and Jenner calls Molly a Butter Face…ha ha ha. Jack is a gigantic wuss.


I Wonder What Jack Does for a Living

He is, as we are reminded every time he graces the screen, a promoter and DJ at Hard Rock Hotel, and he walks around like he’s so cool and so awesome. Then when it came to ask Jenner on a date, he put his hands over his mouth and muffled – will you have dinner with me sometime – then looked at the ground. A gigantic WUSS! All of this on TV no less! So he could show the whole world what a retard he is. Anyway, Jenner is no better…she loved it. She is that girl who is totally awkward around people in a try-to-please-you way.


Livin' in Douche Bag City

Back to April – She likes a guy named Rick who is in a band (coincidentally, Brit’s old manager Larry Rudolph is looking to manage Rick’s band), but JJ (Maloof’s right hand man) likes April. Molly wants April to go out with JJ because he is connected and has friends, and Rick is basically a loser. Rick is hot and cold, and April never knows what will come next, meanwhile, JJ took April on a private jet to Sacramento to watch the Kings play from floor seats! But April is too smitten with Rick. In the last episode, this jackass came to meet with April in a restaurant, and she was looking totally beautiful and made-up in that way that makes you want to look at her. He of course, sat down and avoided all eye contact. Didn’t compliment her or admire her, nothing. Apparently, gorgeous playboy models are dime a dozen in his world. Why don’t men appreciate women by verbally expressing how grateful they are to be in their company? This guy is a looser! And he’s acting like he’s doing her a favor. I hate Rick. Oh, classic line from Rick: “This isn’t Relationship City, It’s Sin City.” Yes, thanks for that.


Prince Lorenzo of Vegas

Here’s Rick’s quote about JJ taking April on a date: "It’s like this, you know when there’s a cheetah, and it’s going to eat some meat, and he sees the lion. And the lion is looking, and they’re staring at each other. And the cheetah just wants to show everybody – I ain’t scared of the lion." [Who’s who?]


Justin Timberlake Says: What Goes Around Comes Around

Then there’s Greta, Jenner’s roommate. Greta looks like Cameron Diaz gone wrong. She was once into Rick (I guess she was into not being noticed or appreciated) but is now into a beefy guy named Willie. Oh goodness… This guy is the dumbest, but at least he’s sweet. He doesn’t really know what to say ever and he keeps circling around his feelings for Greta.

Stock in Protein Bars up 5 Points Since Air of Show

In the last episode, Greta went to see him perform in the TOURNAMENT OF KINGS!!!!!!! He’s a Jouster! Holy crap, I am almost died when I saw that was his profession. To this Greta confessed to us all, that she was so impressed with Willie’s career that it inspired her to get her act together too. I can barely breathe laughing!

I totally want to live in Las Vegas!
