The Twilight Saga: New Moon Prize Pack
Ends Nov 29, 2009
The second installment of the Twilight saga is hitting theaters, and we've got the stylish goodies you'll howl over!
VH1 decided to fill an entire hour with the My Fair Brady season finale. How on earth will the channel fill all that time with the adventures of Chris and Adrianne? Well, if they can't fill the hour, I'm more than willing to help.
I've decided to celebrate by creating a My Fair Brady game! The first step is to call up your friends and purchase a bottle of reasonably inexpensive alcohol. Yes, it's a drinking game, and you'll be drinking a lot when faced with the predictability of Chris and Adrianne.*
The game moves along like all other drinking games do. Take shots or slugs of beer every time the following moments occur:
Moments of gastrointestinal distress, including references (one shot)
Gratuitous cameos from other semi-celebs (one shot)
Adrianne gives a stranger too much information (one shot)
References to the age difference (one shot)
Adrianne learns a new word (one shot)
Chris wears the World's Ugliest Shirt (two shots - it's worth it)
*Non-alcoholic version: For those of you who normally forego drinking games, you can guess how many times gastrointestinal distress occurs during the episode. Write your name and that number on a slip of paper, and put it inside a hat. As you watch the show, put a dollar into the hat equivalent to the number of shots you would imbibe if you are drinking. When the show is over, compare the number you guessed to what actually happened. Whoever comes closest to guessing the number of times the dynamic duo passes gas in any way gets the cash.
Let's begin.
Insane in the Membrane, Insane in the Brain
When the two leave Puerto Rico, Adrianne is snippy. She and Chris fight over where Chris should put his wet shoes. Adrianne doesn't want his wet shoes in her bag, and he shoots back, "Okay, whiny ass!" Of course, as with all romantic arguments, the fight isn't really about the shoes.
Adrianne is still sore that she didn't get a ring in Puerto Rico, and she blames one thing on her relationship troubles: "Everything around us tells us we're perfect for each other except for Chris's brain. Well f**k your brain. Go marry your brain! Be happy with your brain until you die!" Can a person's brain be considered a legitimate romantic rival? Especially Christopher Knight's brain?
Since Adrianne issued her ultimatum, she is determined to follow through. She meets with the realtor Ed Dolce to look at apartments. After seeing some places with him, she says that she will probably take a place soon because she issued an ultimatum and her boyfriend will turn her down. Who tells a realtor about their love life? One shot.
On the way back from the apartments, Adrianne calls Jane Wiedlin (yet another shot!). Conveniently enough, Jane offers Adrianne a place to crash in case she needs to wait before moving into an apartment. Now that would be a show we would pay to see - one of the rowdy ex-GoGos and Adrianne Curry rampaging their way across Los Angeles? It would be like Thelma and Louise, sans brains!
Even though Adrianne has gone to all this trouble to find an apartment, Chris just pretends that he didn't hear what she said. He seems totally shocked that she means it, and he goes into the father routine, asking about the parking and if there's a place for him to park. She says no, and he claims he didn't realize she was planning on leaving. The show helpfully cuts to Adrianne telling Chris that she will leave him if he doesn't make a commitment. Is Chris's hearing going out? But, hold off on that shot. No one made an official reference to the age difference!
Adrianne tries to explain the ultimatum again and says she wants him to make her an "honest woman." Has she been reading The Scarlet Letter or something? Only instead of a scarlet A she has a glitter "MRS. KNIGHT" across her chest.
Chris shoots back, "You're the last person to be teaching anyone about morals!" Adrianne is furious and wails, "So what if I'm naked?" It's a good point. Runnin
