LynnNChicago Watch What Happens Live Nov 12, 2010

LynnNChicago                   Watch What Happens Live            Nov 12, 2010
Andy Cohen hosts Brad Goreski of The Rachel Zoe Project and Jessie Tyler Ferguson of the ABC sitcom Modern Family.  Personally the guests did not interest me at all, I’m not a fan of Brad’s particularly since he’s left Rachel’s employ, I just couldn’t see what he would have to say that I’d be interested in but there he was, sitting in the hot seat next to Mr. Cohen.  Andy announces that Lisa Vanderpump will also be joining the show and we do see her via video phone with thankfully much better quality than we’ve seen in the past. 
I don’t have anything against Brad, I just don’t find him all that interesting and I wasn’t disappointed, the only questions of interest asked of Brad was why he left Rachel’s employ and whether or not he was feuding with Rachel.  Of course he claimed that there was no battle between him and Rachel and he explained that he was just ready to move on with his own business.  <yawn>
Jessie Tyler Ferguson had appeared once before on WWHL and did add a bit of comedy to the show the last time he was on the show, tonight however, he seemed a bit flat and dull.  In his defense, he didn’t have a whole lot to work with. 
I’m disappointed in Andy’s choice of guests tonight, as I said, JTF can be funny but not tonight and Brad is rather dull and personally I cannot see him being successful as a stylist without Rachel’s name behind him.  He may have thought that he had enough experience and had created a bond with some of these celebrities that Rachel had as clients but if given a choice between hiring Brad and just hiring Rachel directly, I think Rachel will win every time.  I’m sure Brad felt that he had gained contacts and suppliers to start up his own stylist business but I have a feeling that he’s going to find that some of these people only dealt with Brad because he had Rachel’s name behind him.  Less than three years is not enough time to really get a handle on any business and to be successful one of the qualities people look for is loyalty.  I see no loyalty in Brad.  Maybe Bravo is going to give him his own show following him around as he starts up his very own stylist business?  (Please NO!)
Enough about Brad, the poll of the day was asking viewers who’s side they were on in the Kyle vs. Camille argument, no surprise that Kyle got 88% of the vote, what I would like to know is who are these 12%?  And did they watch the show tonight?  Yikes!  Camille Grammer is simply not a nice  person!   Anyone who is talking to their mother who is going through cancer treatment and is talking only about how exausted they are from their taxing vacation in Hawaii is a selfish bitch!
Andy’s three things he was obsessed with started with Camille and her ridiculous statement that 3500 square feet of New York apartment space was simply not large enough for her, her family and her entourage to be squeezed into all summer.  Never mind that it would mean the kids could be closer to their father and get the New York experience which could be invaluable for the kids to experience with the nannies.  Museums, architecture, parks, zoos and of course Daddy, await them in fabulous New York City but alas, the damn apartment is just not big enough. 
Andy’s second obsession tonight was the dinner argument/discussion between Camille and Kyle on tonight’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.  Adding that next week the timid Kim and Oklahoma native, Taylor jump into the argument.  I simply cannot wait for Taylor to go Oklahoman on their asses!  Hysterical!  Somehow it just doesn’t seem to pack the same punch as going New Jersey on someone’s ass! 
Finally Andy’s third obsession consisted of a correction to a previous Watch What Happens Live poll that asked which Beverly Hills housewife you would like to be your mom.  The results are so quickly posted and removed from the screen that it was impressive that some caught that the percetages didn’t add up to 100% but did show Kyle as the frontrunner and Cohen had pronounced her the winner.  After re-doing the math, the results changed and in fact Lisa won most popular mom of the Beverly Hills housewives.
Lisa appeared via video skype to accept her belated award with her little dog in tow, dressed as deceased star of the movie Brokeback Mountain, Heath Ledger.  Jiggy the dog is sporting a cowboy hat and neck scarf as Lisa is cooing, “I can’t quit you”, a line from the movie.  It was all very strange and even stranger as throughout the evening the cameras kept cutting back to Lisa and her decked out little dog.
Lisa was also sure to let everyone know that she was refusing to take sides in the Camille/Kyle argument as that was the first thing that Andy tried to ask her about.  This is one smart lady!
To get some of the background story on this argument and an explanation on why it wasn’t caught on film, here is the producers’ blog:
Interesting stuff, I’m sure he’ll get some nasty feedback for seeming to be downright happy that these ladies do battle this season but the behind the scenes information is fascinating.
I just cannot get into these games that Andy likes to play with his guests, I would much rather he threw out names of Housewives to his guests asking for their first thought or impression of each Housewife, or somehow get the guests to snark on other Bravolebrities because that is what we
really want to hear, isn’t it? 
Andy’s mazel this week shows him digging really deep as he struggles each week to come up with someone, somewhere who has done or said something positive this week, but Billy Ray Cyrus’s hair? Really Andy?  That’s the best you can come up with?   Ok, I’ve seen worse!  I completely agree with the jackhole, Andy showed a scene from NBC’s morning show where Kanye West over-reacted to the Today Show’s handling of his interview, more has happened about this incident since Andy talked about it, including West cancelling his upcoming musical appearance on the Today Show scheduled for later this month, you can get the whole story here:
