MTV: The Real Friends of WeHo

Have they ever done an Ultimatum-type show with long-term gay couples who are divided over monogamy vs. opening up the relationship, and they test out life paired with other people who are seemingly more compatible? I’m blanking on if they’ve done one.

One might attribute that to karma and burning all his bridges. And the ugly on the inside seeping out.

To my knowledge no. But that trailer has the same vibe...a potential for mess, guilty pleasure (cuz I admit I hated seeing what some of those people went through on the season of TI but I can't say it wasn't juicy and thought provoking at the same time), and trashy.

 

I think the only thing I can think of is that one show where it was a gay dating show where not all the contestants were gay. And there was a biiiiiig controversy over that because the options of that versus normal dating shows.

Oh, how I hollered on the bus reading that last tweet. 

 

But on a more serious note, Todrick saying ANYTHING given what I've seen about him and heard about him (he did WHAT? under that tweet?) makes me think of Nene Leakes and her Bravo lawsuit...right message, wrong messenger.

So, I guess I am one of the 20,000 people who watched it, as opposed to the 700,000 people who watched the RuPaul premiere on MTV.

The pilot drama revolves around two stories.  First is Dorión (the spelling of his name suggests it is either fake, or his mother knew he would own a makeup company from birth), who's never met anyone else in the cast and is dismissive of Joey because he is an influencer.  I feel as if that is stale territory because most people in 2023 know that TikTok and Instagram are viable, but not democratic, sources of income.  Men pushing vitamins and makeup on social media are no different than Mr Whipple or Madge to the Manicurist were to a prior generation, (and they didn't get any respect among actors either).  If the discussion was about the racial bias in who gets brand deals, that would be interesting.  But, to fight about the validity of influencers as advertising from a guy who owns a cosmetics company seems dumb.

Then, there's Toddrick Hall and his social media stuff.  My one laugh came when Toddrick is interviewed about how touched he is by the love of his fans, and to illustrate the point the editors show a tweet from a fan wishing him a Merry Christmas, as if either that's as far as fans are willing to go or it's the only positive tweet they could find.

Also this Daily Beast quote, "It brings me no joy to say that The Real Friends of WeHo stinks as badly as the alley dumpster behind The Abbey after jockstrap night"  is stupid because everyone knows The Abbey is too concerned with catering to straight women gawking at gay men to ever host a jockstrap night.  But, this is totally correct "Joey Zauzig, an influencer who sounds like he has milk trapped in his lungs."

Finally, for a show from the producers of Real Housewives, it seems odd that they can't get the sound correct in public spaces.  The entire party scene has people talking over each other, and they need subtitles just to understand the conversations.

    • I find it pretty fascinating how polarizing the Reva character is. It seems like most folks on here aren't her biggest fan, but then on YouTube where I watch some of these episodes, the majority of comments/commentary made are on Reva episodes, promoting how wonderful she is and how much Annie sucks. I guess that's a good thing, gets people talking/debating the show.
    •   I agree with both of these takes.  I have no problem with a person being horny and trying to justify it to themself with whatever rationale. I just can't believe there's any deep emotional love to what Belle is feeling about EJ I had no problem with Abigail lusting after EJ -- at first. The horniness was fun in the first encounter.  But I disliked how the show wrote later on ... as if Abigail was catching feelings.  
    • Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.
    • Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena
    • Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

       And shakin’ me up so, that all I really know is here you come again… and here I go  Enjoy, @Soapsuds
    • I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.
