Thank you!!
Next could be Love Island UK Season 5. I'm new to Love Island as well because of Ariana, and I'm currently binging it based off of a suggestion from another YT channel (I forget who). It's SO good so far.
What should we watch next!
What are your hot love Island takes??
I have really wondered when they say how much they're paid per hour what hours are they counting? I mean do the cheerleader spend more time rehearsing or doing appearances than time that is counted as "on the clock"
A "Something about her" spinoff, but on a different network. bravo proved their misogynistic ways 🙄 they'd ruin the show.
I didn’t even watch last season, I’ll never watch it again. The cast are so out of touch, it’s just beyond
The sexism and misogyny are what made me stop watching.
To me, a reboot wld bring ppl just looking for fame, and we've seen how producers handle the show. So I'm over it 😢
I think he had too much “pasta” with Victoria the night before and agreed - see their live ugh😅
Right? I can see her encouraging him.
I’d lOVE A SAH spinoff that shows the lives of Katie, Ariana, DJ Kennedy and Ally, veeery little of Scheana, Lala, Schwartw, and add fresh new people!! Vanderpump Rules is stale. Sandoval is boring, stupid and performative.
Oh god Arianna got him cheating why would she think he would not cheat on her. She just wants content. oh poor me come on I think they are on tv and your actions are on tv so expect things to come out. Ariana and her suffering what forget about Kristen suffering Boo hoo I Arrianna suffered more Oh Please. I think both need to pay if they can. So Ariana knew what she was getting into.
What’s wrong with you. She is saying nothing… 🙄
Are you talking?
Let's call this what it is: a drug fueled decision. In the sober light of day, they realized it was a BAD idea, hence the instagram deactivation & scramble to undo it. They clearly were looking for someone to fund their drug habit. As for blaming Rachel, if he's not fired for rape culture, he won't be fired for anything.
Ariana doesn't live there anymore she's been moved. And as far as Tom setting anything up, He's to stupid to do anything.
Love seeing you both Live and on the same Couch.❤
Thank you!! It was so great to reunite, we have some more in person episodes coming👏👏
@@therealcouchwives Great can't wait 💕
he such a loser
Ariana is a liar
Are you talking?
@@the_glitter_islol😂
She takes after your mother!
He's so stupid!! He also forgot that you can't sue your cast mates on Bravo. Essentially forcing Bravo to get rid of him or Ariana.
If Ariana didn't do what she did, she wouldn't have called production, they wouldn't have picked up cameras, and there wouldn't be a season 11 & the show would have been canceled.
@@the_glitter_is 100%
I won’t watch VPR anymore. I think a reboot with a younger cast that actually works at the restaurant would be better. I would watch a SAH spinoff though!
same! 🤩
Same I won’t support his paycheck
Tom is a mess … however the show will continue at least one more season.
He's a rape culturist
I'm so excited that you guys are together and I totally agree Tom has ruined season 12 I'm really curious what they're going to do I really don't know if they're going to try to resurrect it or if they're going to just put it to bed
Us too!! We filmed some other really fun episodes while together so stay tuned! To your point, it's so hard to say where they go from here... it's not looking good.
Oh my God you guys are together this is fantastic hip hip hooray
Aw thank you! We had to bring you some in-person content for our summer reunion!!
Honest to God you guys are my favoritest podcast@@therealcouchwives
Can Tom Sandoval, and Vanderpump Rules come back from this?! Let us know in the chat!
I don't think so but maybe they'll try because they don't listen to well
So actually, Victoria did an interview not too long ago so they have sponsorships so they do not have to pay for their spray tans their nails, their hair. They even get some free meals. They have a gym that they can use for free. But I will say this NFL cheerleaders have never gotten paid a lot. I know someone that used to be an NFL cheerleader and she said yeah they just don’t get paid a lot, so this is not a new thing
you guys are one of my fave channels for commentary on these shows - your conversations just naturally flow so flawlessly, it almost feels like i’m in the same room gossiping/venting about stuff with you both 💓
Omg thank you so much!! That is exactly the vibe we're going for, we're so happy you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching😍😍
CaNt even put ur hair iN A PONY
Love the show. Def being on the interior crew is nonstop work. Can’t believe how entitled and disgusting some guests behave.
I do think that the organization should pay the women a lot more. It doesn’t seem fair that they should have to hold down full-time jobs while they’re literally wrecking their bodies in the service of corporate billionaires. On the other hand, very few dancers of Royal Ballet, NYCB, or ABT make as much money as a Dallas cheerleader, who is essentially just a non-individuated member of a chorus line. Maybe Vegas dancers do better, I don’t know. As to the argument that the cheerleaders are producing millions in profits for the organization, it’s still teeny-tiny compared to what the football players generate in ticket sales, TV ads, merchandise, etc. As famous as the cheerleading squad is, no one (except maybe the moms) goes to a Dallas Cowboys game just to see girls dancing. They do go to see the players, and especially to see them win games.
are you two watching the recent seasons? i hated when Kate Chastain left, now Captain Lee is never coming back either. it was the end of an era! 😢that chef had lied and later when they investigated it turned out she had used photos from the French Culinary Institute website!
That sexual assault attempt was beyond upsetting. Then everyone gave the guy who stopped him and the captain who fired him a metaphorical medal, and for what? Doing the obvious right thing? Doing the bare minimum of keeping women safe is the best Bravo can do and I'm done.
What's your favourite season of Below Deck??
I have watched every season, every episode. It's too hard for me to pick a favorite. It would be easier to pick a least favorite (if that makes sense)😂
Same!! I liked Sailing Yacht but Gary gave me the biggest ick from the very beginning. Same with the guy on their first season (aget) who was on the boat working with his partner but being too flirty with another coworker. I definitely like Capt Glenn. I liked the Adventure show but not a fan with how Capt Kerry runs things. He & Capt Sandy seem too involved in some things and not enough in others. I liked Capt Lee (although his responses were somewhat too old school). How about the dramatic season 3, with Rocky. 😱
Why is everyone reviewing this show now like it's new??? I was watching this show ten yrs ago. They are way more than Cheerleaders. They are A level , Broadway level dancers. Don't talk about "female empowerment" in one breath and then simultaneously put down anothers womans CHOICE. They want to be DCCs and they are proud.
Nobody is talking about this
You guys have to check out the original series DCC Making The Team - the Netflix documentary was much more mild. The original series really shows how brutal the process is and the girls were treated poorly. They say they want to see the girls’ personalities but they don’t want to hear ANYTHING other than “yes ma’am.” Weight and appearance (down to whether or not spray tans are too dark) are commented on in front of the entire group on a regular basis.
They were never treated poorly. It's a highly competitive team and they have high standards.
Judy Trammel (the choreographer for the cheerleaders ) said that she could never do a jump split. And she was a DCC cheerleader. One of the reasons that the year they changed the uniform, Tex Schramm said the cheerleaders looked like streetwalkers. Uniforms? They don’t get to keep their BOOTS. Can you imagine?
As I recall, Judy said that when she was a DCC they didn't do the jump split, so the fact that she said she couldn't have done it is moot. I Googled and learned that the jump split began in 1989. Judy cheered from 1980 to 1984. Also... if you watch the 1979 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders movie (it's on KZread) the dance routines appeared to be much easier. Even I could have done those routines. Nowadays? Even if I were still in my 20s I couldn't do one tenth of today's choreography.
Did y’all not watch the original show?
Grew up in Dallas and did drill team in high school…our version of dance teams! We did jump splits and high kicks too…it’s really grueling on the body. When it comes to the “yes ma’am” answer it’s a double meaning…it’s yes you understood what was said /that you heard them. My team was over 60 girls and when the director was talking to you specifically it was a great way for her to know you heard instead of saying “ya” which can come off disrespectful.
My daughter was on drill team in Texas also. The jump splits themselves aren't too bad, it's the pressure of having the pull of the attached dancers.
I haven’t watched the doc, but I loved the series “making the team”. Are you two both from Canada? You might not know about Texas and the south - very conservative. The “yes,ma’am“ is seen as respect. Very old school . Agree with everything you said, it’s refreshing to see it from a younger generation point of view. The Dallas Cheerleaders are a combination of modeling , acting, deputaunte, beauty pageant, gymnastics and a touch of prostitution. It’s basically a stepping stone to find a wealthy husband as the long game. Most of the girls do well after, securing that lavish Texas lifestyle. It’s forbidden to date the players, but many do. One season a girl got caught and was fired. Nothing happened to the player, of course. The series is pretty awesome if you have a chance to check it out!
Loved this recap episode. I watched making the team for years before the Netflix series. Can you guys do Love Island USA next? It’s sooooo good and Ariana is killing it as host!
Have you watched the series that they had a few years ago??? Fifteen seasons of the same stuff!!
Oh no... y'all unlocked my special interest. I was OBSESSED with Making the Team as a young adult and recently learned that the entire series is on Paramount+ so I binged it earlier this year. First, I haven't finished the entire video so I don't know if you have mentioned this yet, but Jasmine from The Valley was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and on Making the Team! I think she was a DCC for two seasons, but since MTT follows the rookies more, she's featured more prominently the season she initially auditions. When the promo for The Valley came out, I was like "why do I know that woman's face?!" lmao Second, re: money. The reason they are paid better now is because a former DCC, Erica Wilkins (truly one of their most talented and iconic dancers), SUED THEM. However, in the midst of the lawsuit, she was publicly ridiculed and disowned by all past and present DCC. It was horrible. Judy's daughter, Cassie Trammell, made an instagram post about and the comments are wild considering it was this lawsuit that changed this industry for the better. Anecdotally, a girl from my dance team in high school made the Arizona Cardinals cheer team (this was 2008) and they were paid $100 per game and that is IT. No pay for practices or anything. Absolutely bonkers. If you want to stay on this rabbit hole, there is a crazy pipeline of Melissa Rycroft going from Making the Team to The Bachelor where she got engaged to said bachelor and then DUMPED on the reunion, which got her a spot on Dancing with the Stars which got her a spot on Dancing with the Stars ALL STARS season that she WON that got her right back on Making the Team as their "showmanship coach" LOL it's a wild ride.
What did you love and hate about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders docuseries? What shocked you the most?
What I love is their professionalism and the dedication to their craft. Most of these girls have been in dance their ENTIRE lives. Nothing shocked me because nothing is new.
I'm not shocked. You better sign up for serious medical issues later, they push the "comradery " amongst them to not look at the facts. NFL players get a NFL pension for the rest of their life. But cheerleaders get the "opportunity " to ruin their hips for a really outdated AC/DC song..
Simon van Kempen is Alex McCord's husband.
Ohhh thank you lol!
Stassi will always be what I loved about vanderpump rules first and foremost. I also agree that James is huge. I was always rooting for him. Where I find Sheena the most pathetic of them all and she just go away because she thinks she is way bigger than she is. She's ridiculous and it's embarrassing to watch her anymore. Don't even get me started on lala. I cannot stand the sound of her voice.
I don’t ever want vpr to end! I don’t care what they do!
Skeemer has always been boy crazy, but the boys weren’t crazy about her! It’s nothing to do with editing.
The biggest question should be is there any mail in the Los Angeles area that she didn't sleep with? Because every other sentence is oh I was with him I was that she's disgusting
@@adamsnewman5480Yes, she’s like Lala, just not as honest about it. There’s a name for women like them!
Thsnx loved ur perspectives
Thanks so much!!!🥰🥰
Hi ladies Glad to see You. Missed u
Hi!!! 👋👋
Stassi is the absolute greatest of the great, she always had that something special and everybody knew it. Its so refreshing to see how much she has matured and developed post VPR, she's so grounded, so normal, she's a mother and a wife first and foremost and has the best husband. Its funnt how Scheana wont stop fangirling her, how Lisa Vanderpump speaks so highly of her, that she stays away from the toxic cast mates, but maintains close ties to those that have always had her back like Kristina Kelly. Wish happiness for her
Skeemer is a fake, she doesn’t like Stassi. But LVP has always liked Stassi and has praised her a lot, even when they were fighting.
24:30 I have heard Lisa on a podcast before and I won hundred percent agree as you were stuttering to get out that she talks too much, I was thinking in my head the answer to the question “why do you think she’s so bad at it?“ My answer was 100%. She talks too much.
