Doug proves himself to be so very mature by locking himself in the bathroom to have a good fake cry about how Shayne wrote nasty things about him in her burn book and then binges and purges. Whoretney arrives and is actually pretty cool about his meltdown and interacts with him on a level that surprises me. However, something tells me that she frequently does have to play the mamabear in this relationship and cater to his feelings. That’s so very very fucked up.
Time for Group!
Dr. J says: Let’s talk about trust. Trust is important, because it provides safety in a relationship. Many of you are threatened by trust in a relationship. Whether it’s texting in a relationship or some other interference, you need trust.
She begins with Shayne and Nik. Shayne begins by saying that she has an issue with beautiful women, and that she gets insanely jealous about him looking at other women. She even says that he even looks at another woman, she feels that’s breaking a vow.
I don’t care if you’re drawn that way, stop trying to steal my man you cartoon whore!
Simon cracks me up by saying “That’s a very high bar.” Which Shayne agrees with. I shake my head. The whole session takes a weird turn where Shayne starts holding Nik to the fire by saying that he needs to “be the man in the relationship” and show her affection, etc. She’s dismissing him when he says he wants affection, too. AND THEN she starts railing on him that he does nothing in the relationship. Doc awesome calls her out on her hypocrisy by saying that she wanted a traditional relationship setup and that’s what this is. If she’s unhappy with that, they may need to redefine what they need.
Shayne, darling – the world does not revolve around you. Also, it might be helpful if you worked a little on yourself to determine what exactly you need to make you happy because it seems that you are not even sure yourself. You keep changing the rules. Stop it, you are freaking Nik out and making him give us crazy eyes.
Seriously he makes this face, all the time. It’s freaking me out.
And now we’re onto the really good stuff. Whoreteney and Chester the Molester.
Apparently, Courtney has an old boyfriend who calls her all the time on her cell phone. Doug is super annoyed by this and Courtney is very typically blase about her inappropriate behavior.
Courtney makes this face when she gets called out on her bullshit. I like to call it, “Ducklips smackdown.”
What’s also really funny about this whole bit is that they keep bleeping out this kid’s name. I find it hilarious that this kid doesnt even want to be associated with Whoretney and can you blame him? She is totally that secret bootie call you don’t want anyone to know about. A couple things come to light regarding this situation. 1) This kid is 21, which means at some point – before Doug? She was involved with him and that would make her 15? And him 19? Interesting. 2) She had “sexual relations” with him. Bill Clinton style? I am unsure as to what she means by this but because the whole thing is SO SKEEZY I am not going to speculate further. I’ll leave that to you Gasmii.

Courtney claimes she was a virgin before marriage. I claim I’m a fairy princess. Funny how claiming stuff doesn’t make it true.
This girl disgusts me with her total lack of respect for herself and other people. I find myself feeling for Simon and Alex and for Nik and Shayne: these couples actually seem to have real feelings for each other and are making an effort with therapy. I also feel some sympathy for Tiny, but she’s contributed in large part to the bad situation. (Also, a grown woman who goes by “Tiny”? I can’t help thinking she’d have more backbone if she used a name that didn’t literally minimize her. That can’t be her legal name and it’s so ridiculous.)
Courtney portrays herself as she thinks a grown woman would, if said grown woman was filming a porno 24/7. Girl is going to have an ugly, rude awakening one day. I hope the cameras are around to capture that moment.
I don’t want to condone her actions, because her behavior is innappropriate. However if we consider for even just a fraction of a second if she didn’t look the way she does (clothing and behavior) the reaction to her would be completely different. Instead of calling her a skank or a whore…we would be focusing on Doug and she would be viewed as a child which she is. She would have NEVER been on this show to beging with.
Admittingly I have a problem with her and how she presents herself. If she was a real life person that I saw in public or knew, or saw in a bar…I am sure I would be acting disturbed, bothered, and snarky (its just how me and the girls roll). I also think that she is more manipulative than she lets on. I think Doug although a creeper, is living out some twisted fantasy. In all their freak show is going to have a terrible ending. Give it a few years.
LOVE the fact that Dr. Jen has laid down an ultimatum with Courtney. Let’s see if her lust for the camera is bigger than her lust for attention (dressing) now that she is being forced to choose. Reminds me of the phrase “If a tree falls in the forrest does it make a sound” “If an attention whore dresses in the dark does anybody care?”
While we are on the topic of dressing – Alex ditch the Joan Rivers QVC jewelry – not working for ya. Tiny – do you own ANYTHING with sleeves or some dumbells in which to tone those arms – firm up or cover up. Shane whiole I give you an A for effort – time to retire the Gucci cloth belt as it really doesn’t go with every outfit you own.
Courtney is totally wearing the pants in that relationship and when she is done ruining his life, he’s going to be a bunny boiler. Who you are at 16/17 is not the person you’re going to be at 26/27. There is such an age difference that there is no room for them to grow and change together. I don’t see her sticking around with him once the cameras are gone.
I thought the whole unrequited love thing was bizarre too, I am wondering if they know what unrequited means? I mean the definition is that one person loves another and the feeling is not mutual and that is not what that bizarre story told so who knows? I think everyone was confused and wondering what the purpose was as well.
Are there any children of the early seventies watching and reading? I pulled out an old photo album from when I was 17/18 and throw in 7″ stilettos and it might appear that I had borrowed Courtney’s wardrobe. We were all about short shorts, micro mini’s, bare midriffs and low riding pants; we just wore them with platform shoes rather than the stilettos.
It might have been close but I don’t recall seeing many with skirts so short their ass cheeks were literally hanging out in the Seventies.
Marsha Brady, Courtney is not.
Unless, Mimo you were off to Studio 54 in which case, mad props!
Actually, the only reason my ass cheeks didn’t show was that most of my clothes were home made (Simplicity patterns) and I usually made a matching pair of underwear for the dresses and skirts. I hadn’t remembered how short the dresses were. My brother-in-law was stunned and said I’m not allowed to take his daughter shopping. lol
@Mimo: my Mother used to make her own hot pants (Simplicity patterns) and dresses, too! But they were very short. The serious problem here is not that they are short, revealing (because they are) it’s the type of clothes she’s wearing. Those are only bought in stripper stores.
I am constantly torn regarding Courtney, too b/c on the one hand she is obviously manipulative, but she’s also a kid. Doug is a creeper, but he’s also wrapped around her finger. It’s the weirdest situation and at it’s most basic unhealthy and gross.
Did you all see last night’s episode? Minicap going up soon, but suffice it to say she does NOT redeem herself.
While I think Doug is such a creep, I can’t help but feel a slither of sympathy for him. He obviously has some very real issues, and really does live in his own fantasy world. It’s sick and he needs a different kind of therapy.
I love Shayne and Nik, I really enjoyed that moment between them when they came up with “shanik”. I do feel that there is something real between them. Shayne is a self-absorbed brat, but she has some funny one liners.
Honoeybee – “if she was a real life person.” Too funny.
Sadly, I see tons of chicks out here in California dress just like Courtney. Usually the B&T crowd.
@labowner – you know I live in Miami and on South Beach the women don’t wear that little clothes. Okay, okay sometimes they do but they are earning a living.
@Sarahrita – I agree re: Shanik. That segment made me like them so much, they obviously have a friendship/love there and it was probably the most real moment on reality tv.
I thought one of Doug’s issues was that he wanted Courtney to dress less revealingly? I thought I saw that on one of the earlier shows, but I could be wrong because I can barely remember yesterday!
Eye the sleezy nylons/stockings are usually the only difference between some in the B&T crowd and the working girls.
It really is about power. Who has the power in a family?
The infant.
When parents can begin to civilize a child, that is when the power shift begins and the parents gain control.
Power in an adult relationship is toxic. When responsibility is shared there is neither need nor desire for power. Don’t see much of that here, but there is hope for at least one couple.
I’m so behind on my shows! Once again, however, I have to comment on a show with another episode’s mini or full recap up…my bad.
BUT..@featherhead I had an almost *physical* reaction when I read what you wrote about not being the same person you are are at sixteen or seventeen as you are ten years (or more) later. I think the reaction came because I’ve kept journals since I was fifteen, and when every few years I peruse the old ones, every time, I am absolutely disgusted by who I was at a young age. I realize I was just a kid and now I’m pushing forty, but wow. Do we EVER change!
I hope that poor, misguided girl has the opportunity to do so.
Right on about courtney being a peer… she is not even close to being a peer to those other women!
I still think one of the reasons Shayne gets so upset at Courtney is bc of her previous step-mom Sauna Sand or whatever. I feel for Shayne so much! I went to her dad’s wiki page and man her life must have been an ever changing landscape of who was around. Also they probably put a big emphasis on looks and the appearance of things in a hollywood household like that. I can see why she would get so insecure!
This is an interesting show. I haven’t actually seen even one episode of this show but I heard a lot about it. I’ll check it out one of these days because I might actually like it.
