Which Lucy is apparently confusing with a microphone.

Cindy’s having her photoshoot, in which both Scott and Kristin are included.  Kristin again shares that on “her” birthday night she felt very disrespected.  You know what?  I feel disrespected every time she opens her mouth.    Scott, alert as ever, senses that something’s wrong.  When Cindy asks the two of them to pose together, Kristin shares it’s really hard for her to smile.  Cindy says Kristin doesn’t look happy, and Kristin responds “maybe I’m not”.  Kristin, instead of trying to be a nanny, you need a nanny.  Preferably one who believes in corporal punishment.  Every child we’ve seen on this show exhibits more maturity than you, dear. 

Commercial.

We’re back with the “big talk” between Kristin and Scott.  She makes him sit while she stands.  Psych 101 dominance.  She tells Scott – AGAIN – that she feels very disrespected, and he should have said what he did at the party, in private.  She says “I have all these other nannies saying if Scott doesn’t respect her why do I have to”.  What other nannies?  Scott says from where he was sitting “I just wanted it all to stop” and felt it was best to address her directly.  Again Kristin uses the “didn’t have my back” complaint.  Does she ever read?  Isn’t it possible for her to learn even onedifferent phrase? Scott says he spoke up for everyone, wasn’t taking anyone’s side. 

If you’re paying attention, you’ll note that this is the exact same expression she has in the photo earlier.  Because this is the only expression she EVER has.

Then Her Royal Highness shoots back “I’m asking you to remember what I just gave you.  I got you this job”.  No, you delusional harpy, you got him an interview.  Scott says he “earned this on my own time”, that he’s grateful for the referral but “I’ve had to work for this”.  He goes on to say he’s sorry if her feelings were hurt, but he had to speak up.  Bitchface then says “I think this whole conversation is really not sinking in with you.  You’re not even apologizing –” Scott says “I did say that I’m sorry I hurt you but because I spoke up?  No.” And I applaud.  BF shares she won’t let Scott ruin her business (don’t worry, you’re doing just fine yourself) and goes on to say “that could have been the thing that’s ruining it all for me right now”. 

Thankfully, we cut to the Greek Cathedral.  It’s not in BH, it’s in a neighborhood that (logically) used to have a sizeable Greek population.  Now it’s part Greek and part Hispanic, a nice neighborhood with some good restaurants too.  The Cathedral is beautiful.  They have a Greek Fair every year, and this year’s is this weekend.  If you’re in LA, check it out.  $3 admission and a TON of wonderful food, etc.  They also have guided tours of the Cathedral, run by a priest who (at least the last time) sort of lectures you with an aim to conversion, I guess.  I’m going this weekend, and I hope I run into Heif!

    I have to ask. What is with the pull a few inches of the top of your hair away from your face look? Is that because they are too afraid of bangs? Don’t look good with them? It looks very silly to me.

    I have to ask, are you friends with Ari or something? You basically glossed over the fact that she was a giant superficial cunt and a terrible person. And for someone so obsessed with how people look her makeup last night was atrocious and her hair absolutely did look like a wig.

    Agreed, Scout, about Ari’s hair. If that wasn’t a wig, then she should sue someone for giving her the ugliest wig-looking hairdon’t ever.

    I hope that if there is a season 2, Kristin and Drunky will be gone, and it’ll be a Nanny/Lady Sitter company run by Scott, Amanda and Justin.

    Kristin and Ari are such a good match for each other! I bet she’d still be there too. If it wasn’t for this show. So she should go back.

    Then in season 2 Ari could call up Justin’s lady sitting rogues to do her makeup and plan parties etc. You know his company will be super popular. So his big challenge every week can be finding somebody Kristin and Ari both like!

    Amber might not be 100% ready for the working world yet. But once she is she’ll be better suited to stuff like interviewing people than baby sitting. There might be some jobs Justin could send her on though.

    But on the condition that she moves back home 1st. So she can learn stuff like how to manage $. And not agreeing to a pay cut the day your car gets repo’d.

    I didn’t think Amber was all that bad. Kind of hard to defend her regarding the Nicki Minaj “interview that never was”, though…

    I TOTALLY agree with the posting that you must be friend’s with Ari. You completely bashed Amber, but didn’t call out Ari for her disgusting behavior. She seems like a really SHITTY person and I’m surprised that you just “glossed over” her awfulness.

    No, I don’t know Ari, have never met her and have no connection with her. I just liked her, that’s all. YMMV, which is why we welcome your comments!

    @PennyDreadful Hah yeah I thought you might be friends with her too since she has commented on this site before too. I liked her most episodes. I think she should fire whoever did her up for this show though, the get-up was pretty bad.

    I LOVE reunion shows with inexperienced reality stars, they divulge way more than they are supposed to and it makes me happy :)

    Uhmmm what was up with that email and the Cindy thing? One of my friends belives they actually slept together but I don’t think so. I just think she went WAY out of her way to embarrass the poor guy. It was a little weird how that was strung together.

    I am so so happy that Justin and Lindsey are bestest buddies who go on vacation together!

    Interested to see if there is a 2nd season and who ends up being on there.

    I feel bad for the shawn guy. He isnt on or off the show… just awkwardly there.

    JP I wondered if the families that Shayla and Sean work for said no to filming and that is why they didn’t get much air time.

    Why does Jenny look so familiar to me? Ari – you have tons of money. Why the cupie doll look? Heif you grew on me. You are harmless, but contain no filters. I see Tricia is in Heif’s circle of moms who think nannies should get paid around $15 an hour.

    So glad things worked out for Justin. I believe he fits so well because it is like his home growing up – he was the only boy. I am sure Marshall was iffy until he found out Justin is gay. No competition.

    Was Kristin pushed out of the nanny job at Cindy’s? Where is she currently working. Wonder why Ross didn’t ask her that.

    I hope after this airing Amanda is in high demand and gets another family that pays her more.

    Amber – wow you give shit to Kristin for bull shitting and you were doing the same thing. Tackey

    Professional tip – cut down on the drinking off hours. I know you like to unwind, but it seems that is all these nannies do in their free time.

    Is Lucy still with the nutty boy friend? I guess I could spy on her FB page, but too lazy.

    Congrats on your new show Penny. Please get rid of your cats stat if you start thinking about suicide. How crazy is that?

    Kirstin – if your story were true, way to advertise to every guy you got some nasty ass habits.

    Oh, damn. I’m going to finish reading the recaps and comments, but first I have to get something off my chest…PD, I’m stunned, even after watching Ari on the reunion show, you continue to find reasons to defend her – she’s a HORRIBLE human being, one of those nasty elitist twats who cares nothing about anyone but herself. Every single nanny appeared to feel the same way, and even Ross was obviously repulsed by her. He pretty much came right out and said it.

    Okay, I should go back to reading. I just had to rant. I adore Amber and am fine with her crappy “reviews” in the recaps, but the Ari thing was too much :-)

    Oh, and I haven’t gotten to where its likely talked about in the recap, but I totes believe Maggie that that bitchy ass “I’ll ruin you” mother created drama for a invite next season. That woman’s another mean girl.

    Oh shit there’s one more thing (and apologies to all if this has been discussed in the ‘cap or comment), but Ari was obviously wearing a wig to the trained eye :-) It didn’t fit her very well, either.

    After seeing this season, with the big fat cherry on top being Kristen’s litter box story, why would anyone let her be responsible for who nannies their children??

    The reunion show made me warm up to Heif, but Ari was terrible. It was almost as if she tried extra hard to be an elitest jerk with the “cute accessory” comment and thought the other moms might back her.

    Jenny really looked like Jen Aniston’s much older sister that wears too much make up.

    It’s no wonder to me that Maggie and Kristen have been BFFs for so long….both seem like miserable human beings.

    @Layla good description of Jenny.

    Heif did end up being an alright lady. Still would not want to be her child though!

    I think Justin gets paid more than Amanda probably mostly because he looks after more kids than she does. When I babysit I have different rates for different numbers of kids so that would make sense in this situation too. One kid when the mom is around all the time isn’t that hard at all. Just because of the extra assistant stuff and the fact that it is BH, you would think that she would get paid at least $20 an hour though.

    Does anyone else think that Ari looked like one of the simpering girls who hang on Gaston in Beauty and the Beast? The plastic looking hair, the dress….
