If you have not experienced the uncomfortable hilarity of Here Come The Newlyweds on ABC, you might want to check it out. This is my kind of game/reality show. LOL Here’s how ABC developed the show:
Mr. President of ABC: “Thank you for attending this meeting. I have a wonderful new idea for a reality show. We’re going to take various newlywed couples and have them on a show together. We’ll make sure it’s a good mix of pretty people, idiots, socially awkward types, and others. No, just hear me out. Ok, ok. We have them do challenges to see how well they know each other. No, here’s the kicker: We make sure they’re drunk ALL THE TIME, and then film them. And then INTERVIEW them while they’re absolutely wasted. And then film them when they’re hungover, make them do another challenge, then get them drunk again and film it! And as an added bonus, we’ll put cameras in their rooms and film their drunk ass pillow talk afterwards.”
Some fun things to note in this show:
- The dumbass Freis’s and their hysterical idiot-babble language.
- Any time Dana Krashin gets drunk and decides to talk to people.
- Beautiful, hot, charming Lance Holmes.
- Cody is a raging homosexual.
- This is the only reality tv series that requires the contestants to be completely drunk during elimination. And they don’t even hide it! That’s what I love. The contestants always have a beer bottle, champagne flute, and/or a cocktail in hand.
Some of my favorite quotes from the show:
- “My husband calls me a urinal cake.”
- “Sometimes I wish I was divorced.” Followed by uncomfortable awkward laugh.
- “IhavenotdiscussedwithmyhusbandyetbutwemightnotdowhatweweretalkingaboutandIdidn’twantyoutothinkIwaslyingtoyouso…” Followed by a drunk hiccup.
- “We’re the happiest losers there is.”
- “…”
- “She dodges the foreplay.”
- “We had fun. …I’d say that’s a pretty good break from real life.”
I hate seeing Dawn cry, though. She’s one of those people who break your heart when they cry!
…and then she says through tears and swelling violin music:
“I’m upset because it doesn’t portray who we are. Because everything we do: Ultimate frisbee games, soccer game, playing cards…”
The music swells to a climax and she can barely hold back the sobs. You just know she’s going to say something beautiful and inspiring, and then:
“…we always play to win.” [breaks into uncontrollable sobbing]
I. Love. This. Show.
