This week on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the girls learn how to grill, they actually follow through with something that came up earlier in the season, and Rob makes an appearance. Unfortunately I watched the show so I know that two of those things didn't happen, but it really doesn't matter which.
If this doesn't scare you into fighting for gun control, nothing will.
This week's episode starts off with Khloe getting a kall from a konkerned klerk at Dash. Apparently some weird dude is trying to vandalize the store. What an idiot. If you're going to vandalize a store, you better be crazy fucked up on some mind-altering drugs. But you still want to be incognito. Even I know that and it's been weeks since I've vandalized anything.
Also, do you guys think that this whole thing was just made up? Because she should have called the cops first. And I find it hard to believe someone would just come mid-day and fuck up a store anyone was in. And then leave. Anyways, Khloe gets there and asks what happened. We see security camera footage, but that doesn't really make it any more believable for me. Khloe with all her wisdom kalls 911 and the cops are on their way.
What do you mean, you don't have this in a 14? You'll paaaaay!
This show is so lazy in its contrivance. I don't think that makes sense, but I hope you get what I mean. The cop shows up, and we hear sirens wailing even though he parks quietly and his lights aren't on. The kop comes in, asks a few questions. I can't decide if he was a real policeman or not because they tried to avoid showing his face too much, but they did show it. So that makes me think they were making just enough effort to make it seem real, but it wasn't. Anyways, he gets a little information and says he'll drive around looking for the perp.
Kim goes to meet Rob and she's got fabulous news for him. A friend of hers who runs a model agency thinks Rob would be an amazing model. Rob says, "No, I can't be a model." Then he says, "Well if it's a good model agency." That took so much konvinking from Kim. Rob tells us since his girlfriend is in India, he might as well do something to keep him busy. But I thought he was taking some sort of classes. Don't those keep him busy? Doesn't being on the outer-edges of famous keep you busy? This dude is hard to please. And then, wouldn't you know it, he says he'll do it as long as it doesn't interfere with school.
Remember the vandalism that just occurred a second ago before they introduced the second story arc? Khloe calls home and Kris answers. She sounds not at all surprised or worried about the situation, and she calmly and almost in a monotone tells Khloe to go inside Smooch, their other store, and lock the doors. Yeah, because I'm sure the dude is just dying to vandalize another Kardashian-owned store. In fact, I'm drooling just thinking about the opportunity as well. Can't fall off the wagon...
Back to Rob. Seriously, they don't even break at a good part in either arc to go show the other one. This show is fantastic. Anyways, this must be some high-class modeling agency because this guy saw pictures of Rob on Kim's Myspace! That's like some real scouting there. I wonder if he friended her also. But they take some polaroids of him, including shirt-off for the ladies, and the agent wants to set Rob up for a test shoot.
Stop cruising MySpace for hot young boys, creep.
Bruce asks what they're going to do about the vandalism that took place earlier, and Khloe has a plan of action.
She made an appointment for the three K's and Lily (the abused klerk) for self-defense klasses. This doesn't seem like a prime opportunity to put them in that setting at all. Kris likes the idea, but wants more done, I think. Anyways, Bruce asks who the toughest girl is, and Both Khloe and Kourtney say they are. Bruce, talking sans microphone for some reason, says that Kourtney is the meanest, Khloe is the toughest, and Kim is the most useless. Or maybe I said that. But that ass...

I'm not 100% percent positive, but believe Model Management is the same company that uses our conference rooms in Vegas and they are a bunch of crooks. I love standing outside with a cup of coffee and listen to them try to talk someone into a $1500 portfolio. It is complete bullshit, and the scout out here brags about how many Valium she can take.
Anyway, love the recap - I think yuou and I are the only ones still watching the show...

Good recap, as usual, much funnier than the show itself.
This show is so contrived and fake that I wouldn't put it past the producers to cook up the whole "vandalism" incident. They couldn't have a full-on robbery because then that would have required a plausible follow-up. By toning it down to a guy throwing shirts around, they still get their "drama" and a reason to take that self-defense class.

I just wanted to say I really enjoy your recaps, and I agree with the other posters, they're funnier than watching the show.
I lost favor with this show b/c it's so "k"ontrived. When I saw Kloe being arrested months or years after it happened I thought, oh no what have I been watching? That coupled with the fact that Ryan Seacrest produces this was enough to steer me away.
I too have a hard time telling the younger sisters apart, when I see them I know there are two of them, but when someone mentions their names, I have no idea which one they are talking about.
I think Kris Jenner is proof that women/girls shouldn't have kids too early. It's obvious she's starved for attention and she's always wearing or saying something inappropriate.
