K-Dash Wednesday

From divawhispers.co
So on Sunday, E! ran the entire season of Kim and Kourtney Take New York in order to prep everyone for the first part of the finale.  Because Hubs had left me to my own devices, and because I had a pint of Ben and Jerry's in my freezer I watch these ridiculous reality shows so you don't have to, I sat myself down and proceeded to watch.

And this is what I discovered: 

Kris Humphries is a seven-foot tool.  

Now, when Kim first announced that she was divorcing K-Dawg, I was one of the first to start judging her, calling her horrible names, and generally having an awesome time at her expensive.

And after watching this season, I feel awful.  Now, granted, reality television isn't necessarily the truth (ok, it's usually not), and we're only seeing a small sliver of these people's lives, so I know that all of things are factoring into how I've formed my opinion, but...

I feel really sorry for Kim.  Kris is nothing but a selfish prick, who'd rather eat an entire pizza by himself than listen to his wife ask his advice on how to handle a fight she's having with Khloe.  At point, he was like, "You know I hate Khloe."  And then he followed that by saying, "Whatever, I don't care."

First, if Hubs ever said he hated my sister, I'd kick him to the curb.  You just don't stay that about your spouse's family member, and you certainly don't say it when your spouse is so close to that family member.  

Still, I know it was wrong of Kim to rush into marriage, but you know what?  Hubs and I did it.  We were together for less than a year before we got engaged, and we only waited a year to get married because our circumstances demanded it.  Like Kim and Kris, we didn't live together before we were married, and honestly, we hadn't spent all that much time together since we were in a long distance relationship.  Hubs and I are very happy and very in love.  He's my best friend, and every day I am amazed at how happy I am.  But the thing I've realized is that it totally could've gone the wrong way.  For the most part, we don't annoy each other, but what if we had moved in together and realized we were not a good match?  What if we had made a mistake?

Granted, I would hope we would've taken more than 72 days to see if we could work on the marriage, but in the scenes of the show where Kim was very emotional about how she was feeling, my heart went out to her.  You could tell she was pretty embarrassed about it, and it was definitely weighing on her mind.  Like I said, I know that we're not even getting half of the story from these shows, but that's just how I feel.  

So, now that a couple of months have passed, have you had a change of heart about the KK?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

  1. I'm not a huge fan of the K-dash family, and I find it odd that someone (anyone) would want to air their wedding on TV. With that said - I'm also aware that these shows are edited for ratings. However, you can't be made to look like a d-bag unless you are somewhat of a a d-bag, and you can't be made to look a fool unless you are somewhat of a fool.

  2. I stopped catching up forever ago. So there they sit on my DVR taking up space. Ha I might get to them eventually, but I just find that I get angry when I watch the show. Plus, your updates make me feel like I have seen them already. So thanks. I have been having a hard time liking anything Kim has done ever since her "that was a $10,000 earring....wahhhhh!"

    Is that just me?

  3. I think she knew what she was getting into when she did it. I also think he did too. Was it for the ratings? Not sure.
    But both of them so f'n lazy they refuse to work on their MARRIAGE. It's not a pair of jeans that you bought & don't like so you return them.
    Also? I think the producers have portrayed Kris as the villain. They knew going into this season that Kim was going to leave him & why would they villify their Kardashian princess?

  4. Sure he looks like a tool on the show, but it's what they both signed up for. They both are/were getting great PR because of this "wedding". Nobody even heard of this dude until they got together. Now he's cheered or booed in every city he plays in. And she's no better. That show is designed to make her look look innocent and him like a D-bag...Yeah I um, might have, um seen an episode or two....

  5. All three of you have brought up some really great points. Erin, I agree that if you are portrayed as a douchebag, you probably are one. Fox Family, they do these things sometimes that makes me hate them sooooo effing much! And Natalie, I think you are on to something. What you said about vilifying Princess K has gotta be right. Her tears looked so real on the episode the other night, though. Is she really that talented of an actress? I am so torn. I mean...not really, because why the eff do I really even care, but you know what I mean.

  6. It's all a joke and scripted for television but still addicting to watch none the less!

  7. Season finale already?!? It seems like I just watched the season premiere. Geez. I agree that Kris is a toolbag. I'm not a fan. And I can't help it: I love Kim. Not as much as I love Kourtney or Khloe, but I still love her.

  8. I still can't handle the K-dash's Ugh. I think it was all a set-up and I think that there's an amazing power that they have in the editing room. They wanted to vilify Kris and it worked. Obviously I don't know anyone involved, but I think it's all just sad. Thank YOU for being wonderful though. P.S. My hubs and I met and were married 6 months exactly after the day we met. 5 years of marriage later, we are still happy. I agree with you that dating for a short time won't ruin anything, if you commit and make it work, it can work. Hugs!

  9. i really think they soooo edited kris as the villain. i don't think kim is a villain, either. i think they just both had their sights set on "the wedding" and the IDEA of being married, without taking any thought about what being married really means. i loved natalie's comment about marriage not being a pair of jeans to return. unfortunately, that's the way a lot of ppl see marriage these days, and "celebrities" promote that mindset even more.

    on a side note - brad & angelina get a lot of flak for not being married, but they have been together as a family for much longer than many recent celeb marriages. they put each other and their family first without a piece of paper and lavish ceremony. which is not to say they are guaranteed to last forever, either, just that they seem to be doing the right thing for their family!

  10. I left an amazing comment and it didn't upload. *wah* Anyway, I think the show is Hollywood at it's finest. Their goal this season was to vilify Kris in order to make their divorce and Kim's decision seem more valid. I wonder what was left on the floor of the editing room. You know? I don't think it matters how long you date someone. If you marry each other for the right reasons and commit to making it work, then it can. My hubs and I married each other exactly 6 months after the day we met and 5 years later we are going strong. Anyway, thanks for suffering through the show so that I don't have to. haha Hugs!
