kourtney and kim take new york

 

I'll admit it, I'm a Kardashian Family fan. I haven't watched religiously from the beginning of their "reality life," but I've kept up throughout the years. I like them because they spend so much time together as a family {though they tend to be a bit more touchy-feely than any family I've ever known, including my own. I mean, my family says "I love you" at the drop of a hat but if I'm sitting too close to my brother, we're more likely to say "ew, gross", push each other and move away than embrace it.} I digress. I like that they're Valley Girls, like me, and as a Lakers fan, I love that Khloe married Lamar. Okay, okay, I can't think of any more reasons but the bottom line is, they're a likable family. I got on board immediately with Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami and actually enjoyed every episode. So obviously, Kourtney and Kim Take New York was programmed on my DVR to record.

And then I watched it.

*blink* *blink*

And then I went out to the living room and sat with my husband for a moment and said, "Ya know, I really don't know what I'm going to write about this show," and he quipped, "Well, your review of it will probably have more substance than the show itself."

*long pause*

He had a point. But I didn't hate the show. I found it a little boring but I didn't hate it.

It was more . . . I missed Khloe.

Khloe is silly and fun and funny and interesting and to quote Kourtney "Kim & I just aren't as lovey-dovey".

In fact, Kim is more... well, obsessed with herself. And it's really boring.

Though I've had mixed feelings about Kourtney's baby daddy, Scott Disick {aka: American Psycho}, they obviously love each other and are trying to make it work {& he's really good television}. At the beginning of the show he has a room down the hall of the hotel they're staying in and by the end, he's moving in with K & K. The pair have cute moments together throughout the show: eating room service breakfast together, cuddling on the bed, picnicking at the park. But every time they're together, Kim barges in to talk about herself. Even so far as to pout and say, "You could have ordered ME breakfast".

Now, I know it's all in the editing and I'm sure Kourtney is used to this kind of behavior from her sister and responded with a casual, "You're just being a drama queen," but I'm thinking that she was missing Khloe while they were in NY too.

A few notes I jotted down while watching

  • The hotel suite they're in is amazing, and of course Kim wants Kourtney's room because she says it's better.
  • Though there's talk of baby Mason and a crib in Kourtney's room, you never see him once during the show.
  • K & K are trying to dress more NYC than LA... and Kourtney is pulling it off; Kim, not so much.
  • Speaking of Kim, I think her butt is bigger than ever. In fact, I think it ate Kourtney's butt.

  • When asked how his room was, Scott replied "Clean."
  • Kanye West vs Scott at the DASH location = awkward.
  • Kim's interaction & date with Michael = awkward.
  • Kourtney looks gorgeous. Kim looks like she's trying too hard.
  • I feel a little bad because I don't dislike Kim ....it was just, enough already.

Obviously I'm watching again next week... the season's previews showed Scott in a fight at a bar, Kim crying on her cell phone, & Mama K accusing Kim of lying to her. More Kardashian drama is in the air. And I'm always up for that

Did you watch it? Thoughts?

I love watch the Kardashians on E! in High Definition. Now I watch them, laugh, and then search for their latest outfit using my GOOGLE TV technology from DISH Network. It's a lot of fun. You can use it to go to dish.com and search GOOGLE TV. You can learn everything Kardashian including reading their Twitters with GOOGLE TV and DISH Network.

Have always been addicted (don't know why?) to the original show and K&K take Miami. It's one of the only reality tv shows I really like. Really. I don't even know why, but might be because I find that long black hair and awesome clothes so polarizing! Oh, and Kin is just gorgeous, though she does get annoying after a bit because she's all about herself and she's so picky and so OCD being a neat freak and all... I guess that makes the show as well, so... I'll keep watching every now and then. I wouldn't stop anything else for it though. Go K family! ;)

Hopefully I'll accidentally find K&K take NY on tv at a time when I'm not doing anything else and browsing the tv guide for something to watch... till then...

I watch too, to my husband's dismay. :) I heard that the reason Mason isn't going to appear is because Scott wanted to be paid an obscene amount of money for him to appear and they told him to go fly a kite. So no more Baby Mason.

I haven't watched this one yet as I tend to catch it when it's on a marathon. It should be interesting.......

haven't watched it yet, but I'm also a love/hate fan of them. I love em but they get on my nerves or maybe its just Kim that gets on my nerves not sure. But I also like them because they remind me of my family too.

I did want to add that we won't be seeing much (if any) of Mason because recently I read on People.com that Kourt & Scott decided not to have him on camera this go-around. They're taking it show by show.

But out of all of them I have to say Khloe is my fav.

It's fascinating to me that Kim is the most "famous" and she's so flat. I didn't see the sex tape, so I'm assuming that's where the talent lies. ;-) Kim and Kourtney were on Regis and Kelly this past week and Kourtney led the interview. Kim was awkward, and kept checking her posture, etc., out in the monitors--it was pretty obvious to me that her appearance was all she cared about.

Khloe seems to have a brain and be quick on her feet. I agree that it was probably edited to play up Kim's insecurities and narcisism (not wanting to be the person to call for the date, and then immediately checking out USWeekly.com to see if they "made news") but her mother is the exec producer as is Jonathan who is supposed to be her BFF---so if she didn't want to be portrayed that way, you'd think she be able to tweak things.
It makes me think that's how she really is...

I don't get Scott. Evidently he's guest-starring on Fashion Police? Is what he wears good/high fashion? He just comes across as an arrogant dweeb to me.

I wanted to see baby Mason because my little one and he are only a few months apart. I'd rather they all be honest about the nanny/help then act like he's sleeping all the time or with Scott.

Hahahahahahahaha - oh my god, I didn't watch it but I laughed out loud several times during your review!

Maybe they should re-name the show "Kim's ass takes New York." How many booty pops do you think she's wearing?
