I think it depends on the subject matter or the people involved. She's a comedian so would probably see it as absurd.

The one with Rashida Jones was pretty good. The one with Christina Applegate was too, although overwrought. Kelly Clarkson had an episode a few weeks ago that struck the right balance.

LMAO at Chuy being replaced by a head of lettuce for an episode.

Anyone watch back when Loni hosted when Nelly was on? The poem Chuy said to her at the end was good.. "Now I hope Ms. Chelsea never comes back, because after today I prefer my woman black" :lol:

Chelsea's manager says she's leaving E when her contract is up at the end of the year. She has said she's pretty sick of the network anyway.

I have to wonder if she blames them for some of her own career downturn. She mostly gets publicity now for racial "humor" and recycled jokes about Angelina Jolie. What she's done to her face doesn't help.

I think she still has a good chance at a good career, but somewhere along the way the story became about her (she loves to drink, who is she dating, she hates Angelina Jolie, she hates everything, etc.) and that doesn't really end very well for most comedians. The whole jaded, "truth-telling" persona is a dime a dozen today - there needs to be more, especially when it just becomes generic, frozen-faced sourness. There are other comedians out there who already fill this role and have been filling it much longer than she has.

I wish she could regroup somewhat, as she was a lot of fun on Girls Behaving Badly.

I agree with Carl. I really used to enjoy her but she's not at all like she used to be, IMO. I lost interest in her show on E! a while ago and I used to make sure I watched it. I still like her a lot though but something's different. I think she's becoming a bit too hard. It's clear she wasn't enjoying it as much, IMO.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it.
