Posted in: Beverly Hills Nannies, Recaps

Over at Heif’s place, Justin and Lindsay show up.  Heif fake-complains but you can tell she’s pleased they showed up.  At first Justin is hanging with the adults, but then he sees Amanda trying to wrangle 9 kids, and ends up working for free, saying it’s his worst day ever.  Cheer up.  You could have been working with Kristin.

Meanwhile, Kristin is going to Jenny and Brian’s place, and she’s loaded for bear, sharing she’s “livid.  How dare you fire one of my nannies”.  So professional of Kristin to get all the facts before rushing to judgment.  You know, like a real businessperson would.  Jenny and Brian start to explain what’s wrong with Drunky, that she doesn’t want to be a nanny, and so on.  Then they talk about the “alcohol factor”, as Brian phrases it.  Jenny recounts the dinner. 

Kristin then says, “That makes me so mad.  I came over and I was angry with you for how it had gone down.  (That’s tactful). Now I’m like (Drunky) seriously you’re making me look like a fool”.  As I’ve said 10000 times in this season, you’re doing a fine job yourself, Kristin.    Kristin says it “ruins my character (character?  HAHAHAHAHAH) as a nanny agent and makes me question her loyalty as a friend”.  Jenny says you can’t drink in that situation.  And then Kristin says, on national television, “I told her a million times that [alcohol] was my number one concern”. 

Jenny shares if Kristin already knew Drunky was – well, Drunky – why was she ever sent there, and clearly Kristin “has a lot to learn about mixing business and friendship”.  And also has a lot to learn about mixing liquors – remember a couple of weeks ago?   Aloud, she says she doesn’t mess around when it comes to her kids “and this is a word of mouth business and the media . . . Facebook and Twitter . . . if I was a far more vindictive person something like this would take down the business”.  OK, you do realize you’re on national television too, right?  Kristin says she now realizes Drunky was a huge risk she shouldn’t have taken, and she hopes they’ll let her place someone else. Brian says she was so far off the mark with Drunky, they don’t even know where to go from here.  Jenny says they’ll let Kristin know.

Over at Drunky’s house, Kristin comes over, they discuss the convo, and Drunky refutes every allegation about her drinking.  In her defense,  back when I was drinking I really had no idea how much, and if you’d asked I would have said oh, one or 2 drinks.  So Drunky isn’t a liar, she just needs help.  Kristin has no empathy, makes no effort to get her supposed BFF some help, and instead says she has to side with the family, says Jenny was “one second” away from posting a tweet (it’s called TWEETING, and no she wasn’t.  You’re lying again) and she – wait for it – has to “have their back”.  AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That, Gasmii, was the sound of me going totally postal.

    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.

    Back to reading

    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….
