Pretty Ridiculous

I can count on one hand the times I have been left speechless, and after watching an episode of E!'s new show Pretty Wild I had to add another count to the tally.

Are they kidding?

The show is produced by Chelsea Handler, which makes the whole situation funnier, because you can just imagine her sitting at the screen laughing her ass off at these three girls. The basic premise is that the cameras are following three sisters trying to be models, but the middle sister, Alexis, is caught in the middle of an alleged Hollywood burglary, so her trial provides a weak plot to the show. The mother is also a former model (of lingerie) but now is a "former wild child turned self-help enthusiast "...right. So I guess the former wild child description is supposed to explain her buggy eyes and strange speech. She talks like she's talking to bunnies in a magical forest. She always looks like she's seen a ghost and is totally enamored with her three spacey daughters. 

In one of the few episodes I watched, Tess, the oldest, lose her dog Lola. She and Alexis are helping Gabby get dressed for her first day of public school (she had always been homeschooled....right) when panic sets in. The clip doesnt show all of it, but she continues to have a COMPLETE breakdown. Later on at dinner that night, everyone in the family describes the event as a total, maturing, life-changing experience because the space cadet realizes she isn't responsible enough to take care of her. um HELLO, CLEARLY.



I can't even properly describe the show, but I will warn you that if you decide to see what all the fuss is about, you will lose brain cells. Lots of them.
