GCB “Love is Patient” Recap/Review



 “Love is Patient”

This week’s episode starts off with Ripp not being able to get it up with Carlene in bed, Ahhh Ohhhh. He goes outside to let off some steam, Lookie lookie, Blake is up to something that has to do with Bill Vaughn’s finances. Since he didn’t find out what he wanted he takes out his frustration on Bill’s picture on a magazine.
Amanda thinks it’s family movie night at Gigi’s but Mama has other plans, Amanda needs to meet a nice rich man and that won’t happen at boobylicious, So Mama G rented some handsome oil men for a night out at the opera. When did the opera become a finding love place? Amanda is not having it so she wishes them a nice night and slams the door.

Onto the very distraught and horny Carlene, she just has no clue what to do about Ripp. So of course the only one to call is Cricket. Ummm, She has a mega huge California king size bed and her husband is gay! Good choice! Cricket tells her she doesn’t have that problem and to look up Holy Spirit and horny and visit the bible book store! Meanwhile Cricket is trying to get some satisfaction herself from the Pilates trainer. He turns her down by saying he’s engaged now so no more of that. Cricket is not used to being told no so she makes a call to buy all the fitness centers that his fiancé works for and tear them down.  WOW

Carlene and Cricket ask Sharon if she has dealt with Zach yet about the Amanda kiss, she tells them she is just going to ignore it and hopefully it blows over. Well the girls aren’t having that; Sharon needs to deal with it right now! At the booby bar Amanda and Heather are talking about the new rich man in town that Heather has eyes for. She is planning a “meeting” with him tonight by buying his favorite wine and cake. In walks the mean girls with Sharon in the lead yelling “well well well looky who is here”, Heather asks them what they are doing there and Cricket tells her “Heather this doesn’t concern the unmarried”  Sharon starts her rant with “stay away from my man” Amanda informs her that she is not the problem, Zach is the problem. Sharon continues yelling at Amanda stuff that sounds really rehearsed, probably wrote by Carlene. Sharon last words were” I will not be taken down by a fallen woman, Just then one of the waitress’s slides down the fire pole right on top of Sharon. Hahaha

Amanda comes home to a package, inside is a family photo and a letter from Bill right before he took off. The letter says how sorry he is for cheating on her with her friend, we haven’t been happy in a long time,please forgive me, yada yada yada……onto Carlene trying to make Ripp dress up as Adam and Eve to get his bit to build, Ummm yeah! He is not falling for it. Just then the phone rings, It’s the guy with info on Amanda for Ripp. I guess he is trying to find out if Amanda knows where the stolen money is. Wonder why he is so worried about it?

WOW, did ya’ll see that walk in fridge? OMG, I want one! Confession, I had that scene paused for about 5 minutes just taking it all in. I’m in love! Back on track, Sharon was about to confront Zach about Amanda but chickened out. So she calls the Texas chili hotline. After some talk about how to make the chili she asks a total stranger if she should confront her husband. Chili lady said HECK YEAH!

Heather tricks Amanda into going to the churches single meet up group, but low and behold they never expected the mean girls and hubby’s to be teaching it. YIKES, this is going to get ugly! Heather is in the never been married team headed by Blake and Cricket and Amanda is in the once married team headed by Ripp and Carlene. Ripp is really trying to get Amanda to write her secrets down on pieces of paper to stuff into a male piñata. Meanwhile Carlene takes Blake aside and tells him he needs to step things up in the bedroom so his wife won’t be going to ti Kwan dow just to get laid. Well well looks like Cricket does know that Blake is gay, and she’s not happy about it. She thinks that now would be a good time for a divorce because everyone would call her an adulteress and never think twice about who he really is.

I really loved how Cricket told Carlene to fix her own marriage and leave hers alone. I just really like when Carlene is told to go to hell, Hahaha! In the kitchen Sharon is trying to think of a way to ask Zach about the kiss with Amanda, just then Amanda walks in looking for string and Sharon yells at her to get out. But Sharon took a taste of the way to hot chili and before Amanda left she told her to tell Zach or she won’t give her the milk she needs to cool her mouth. Finally she tells him that she knows about the kiss, Zach tells her that he is a sorry piece of shit, naaaa that was me, and He never meant to hurt her. Sharon gave him a wife, 2 kids, and a home but he doesn’t think he wants that anymore.

Back in the never been married group, they are revirginizing themselves by burning pieces of paper with their past lovers names on it. OK…..In the once married group they are about to smash some piñatas with their secrets to bits. Ripp is just dying to get his hands on Amanda’s secrets, instead of waiting  he has a better faster plan, pull the fire alarm and grab her piñata whole.

Zach tells Sharon his life never turned out the way he really wanted it to, but he always pictured her in it. He asked to be forgiven and she got up, told him her life didn’t either, threw away her ice cream and told him hers just might still be ahead. Go Girl!!!! Blake and Cricket talk things out and looks like she is ok with their little lies, because Blake is the only man that has ever loved who she really is. OK, But he is gay! Carlene is sitting in her room crying because she doesn’t know why Ripp can’t get it up. Well it’s because Bill Vaughn stole money from him also. OK now, here it is. He just doesn’t feel like a man cause he was stolen from? OK then. Well his confession helped his problem because the flag is now a flying!

Back at Gigi’s, Amanda let’s all her anger out on the piñata, which actually makes her feel a lot better. She is ready to move on. Gigi starts reading the pieces of paper and come to find out they are not Amanda’s. Across the street Ripp and Carlene have an open piñata reading all of Amanda’s secrets. “Bill I wish you would leave me alone for good” I am never going to let you hurt me again” Now those have gotten them thinking that Bill is not dead. They are now on a mission to find a dead man and get their money back!

So what did you think about tonight’s episode? Do you think Bill really faked his death?

Next week we will see a decade themed party, and some more fighting. Can’t wait!

GCB “Hell Hath No Fury” Review


“Hell Hath No Fury” 

I really like how they started the episode this week, Carlene narrating last week’s episode. Haha, “How many sins is that right there! You do the math! LOVE!

Carlene has stayed in bed all week because Amanda outed that she owned the boobie bar! Well little miss Carlene; you are the one that can’t get over high school. So you got what you deserved! Haha

Haha, Havalina! So I guess instead of being called an ugly duckling or having no fashion sense, this Texas town calls them a Havalina. “A Texas wild pig mean, ugly you can’t kill them fast enough” OK!

Amanda thinks things have blown over with Carlene since it’s been quiet, But Gigi thinks that nothing ever blows over with Carlene, “Be afraid, be very afraid! Hahaha

Carlene is singing Jesus take the wheel as a tribute to Amanda in church, nice choice since her husband Bill drove off the road and died. OUCH, Carlene is really nasty! What I loved was Crickets face while Carlene is singing. Looks like someone wanted to be the one singing today. Green eyed monster popping up!

Hahaha, Jealous Sharon notices a stain on Zach’s tie; she licks it and tastes wing condiments. Looks like Zach visits the boobie bar.

OMG, HAHAHA!  Cricket “Well, well, well, Carlene. I think Amanda just out christened you! Hahaha LOVED her face and the lightheaded wobble!

Those mean girls are nasty! Looks like Gigi’s party is not going to go so well with nobody there.

WOW, Mama Gigi is packing! Big time! She ain’t scared of a damn thing holding that shotgun! Hahaha

OMG, Hello Booth!! Why do you have to play for the other team! Oh My Cowboy!

Oh My, Ok I don’t like that they are showing that it’s ok for HS school girls to have breast implants. NOT OK GCB! WOW

Soooo don’t get why it’s ok for their daughters to be “mean girls” when they had such a horrible time when they were in HS. Don’t like that either!

Haha, Carlene making the girls at boobylicious look like Amish woman and blaming Amanda…WOW So her company doesn’t matter to her, just her own image! Yeah I don’t like Carlene very much! Does Blake even know about all this “change”?

Woot Woot, Amanda is going to throw down with Carlene…YEAH!

OH SHIT! Carlene left Amanda in tim buck to 80 miles away from home when her daughter is about to go with the mean girls part 2. OH SHIT! Now she gets to ride in the back of a truck with pigs. WOW

WOW, that’s a pep rally? CRAZY!!!!

WOW, Laura does have a point; Amanda started the Fox and Havalina crowd.

LMAO!!! She just flashed her boobies to everyone! Hahahahaha

Sad, Mother/ daughter relationships can be difficult.

OMG, What kind of bed is that? It’s like 2 king sizes put together. Haha

Haha, Fight fire with fire, and if that don’t work go to the husband! (So he didn’t know!) Then add some more wood to make it a bomb fire. LOVE IT!

This episode was funny, but some parts I really didn’t care for. I really like how Heather is staying friends with Amanda no matter what the mean girls think. I really love Amanda for staying strong and trying to do what it takes to support her kids, even if she has to look like a hooker, LOL So far so good GCB!

How does Cricket not know that her husband is gay?
What did you think of tonight's episode?


Make sure to watch next week 10/9c for some Lust and Adultery!  Ya Who!

Series premiere of GCB review


“Pilot” 

The show is based on a book called Good Christian Bitches from Kim Gatlin. I just love the books title! The show is about Amanda Vaughn who is having to move back to Dallas with her 2 teenagers to live with her mother after her crook of a husband shall we say had a “tragic accident while getting serviced”.  So it seems Amanda was a “Mean Girl” in high school to 4 classmates, Carlene is the queen bitch of town now, Sharon is a housewife that seems to never stop snacking, Cricket is the stuck-up CEO, and Heather is a successful realtor. In a small southern town in Dallas they never forgive or forget.

Ha-ha, did anyone else catch that the dog’s names were Tony and Romo?  Love it!

And here is peeping “Never forgot high school” Carlene, Watching Amanda unpack the car. There she goes calling her HS click friends Sharon, Cricket and Heather. I laughed through this whole scene.  The lines were just so funny. “Ummm, My bibles in my other purse” “Speaking of spitting, you did hear how Bill died didn’t you”? “Unfortunately she bit off more than she can chew”  “Ladies it is not appropriate to talk of such things over the phone, I will see you in church” HA HA

Gigi is the typical mom here,” I didn’t like when you were dating him in high school, really didn’t like you marrying him. And I hated it when he dragged you off to California” Mothers are always right Ladies and Gents!  Amanda’s son Will to his grandmother “Gigi do you have internet” Gigi “Why would I, I don’t watch porn” Ha-Ha. Amanda finds her Daughter Laura looking through her old HS yearbook. Amanda starts telling her all about her mean girl days, Amanda kicked Carlene out of cheer-leading squad because she had bad skin, Sharon was hot back in HS and was in the running to be Miss teen Dallas until Amanda told the judges she wasn’t a virgin, She stole Bill away from Cricket by spreading a rumor that she has herpes, and Heather was just a nosy girl that Amanda really didn’t pick on. Gigi to Laura “Your mama was a mean girl, I’m just saying” Ha-Ha

Reunion time at church, how fun and awkward all at once. Looks like Sharon’s hubby had a crush on Amanda in high school. Blake is Cricket’s hubby and it looks like Amanda gets along well with him, which Cricket is not liking. Carlene is married to Ripp who seems like a feisty man. Rawrrrr. Amanda “Was I that bad back then?” Gigi “You were a bitch with teeth” Will Asks Amanda “What does you reap what you sow mean” Amanda “It’s texting for Karma” Ha-ha

Amanda has a secret admirer that gifts cars, Nice! Heather takes it upon herself, with a nug from Carlene to show some unattractive houses to Amanda. One on an airplane landing strip! Zach gives Amanda a call just in time and asks her to stop by the dealership for info on the admirer. Low and behold there is no info; Zach just wanted to profess his love to Amanda. Ahhh Ohhh, Carlene catches the forced make out session between them.

Next day, Amanda walks down stairs to a newly texafied makeover on her lovely daughter Laura. Big hair and boobs showing to boot. Thank god that got put on hold with another delivery from her secret admirer. A Neiman Marcus makeover truck….NICE! Amanda sends them away. WHY?  Later that night Heather comes by to show Amanda more listings but alas, Amanda has been doing her own browsing and finds great houses in the area in her price range. What gives Heather! She was just about to tell Amanda when the unwelcoming committee stops by to make digs at Amanda. She kicks them out when it becomes too much, not before Carlene steals the Neiman Marcus card to find out who the admirer is.

Sharon is bullied by Carlene into going in Neiman Marcus to find info on Amanda’s admirer, until the man asks for ID and Sharon runs out of the store into Carlene’s car like she robbed the place. By the way, the makeover truck was worth $98,700, Wowsa! Looks like someone has sabotaged Amanda’s job hunting, nobody wants to hire her. Yep, there is Cricket making promises for people to say no to Amanda. Bitch! Like she hasn’t been having a bad day already, Amanda breaks a heel, and gets caught in the rain. She takes shelter in Boobylicious a sports bar, while chatting it up with the bartender about her outfit (Cleavage showing tank top and red shiny short shorts) and how much she makes a night for wearing them she spies a help wanted sign. BINGO! She’ll take it!

That night she meets Heather for drinks and tells her that she can now afford a better place to live, In walks Blake asking if she would like to have dinner with him and his ranch foreman. She agrees and follows him to the table. Here comes the very good looking Foreman Booth, I Karmba, YUMMY! Anywho, Even Amanda is affected by Booth’s hotness because she spills her purse under the table. Ohhh Man!  Where she catches Ripp rubbing Booths’s leg and starts holding hands. WOW Not knowing what to say Amanda grabs her things and makes a fast escape until Blake asks her if she will be going to the big Longhorn Ball tomorrow night, She tells him no she won’t to expensive, he is not taking no for an answer, He even throws in an outfit and Booth as her date, Awkward!

Amanda shows up at the ball the next night dressed very hot I might add, When Oh No here comes the unwelcoming committee. They start hounding her on a photo that Sharon’s son took of Amanda working at Boobylicious.  Carlene is telling her that she wasn’t being very Christian like by working there, But Amanda has a comeback for them. She knows that Sharon posed as her at Neiman Marcus. Sharon yells “it was Carlene’s idea” and runs off.  Carlene comes back at Amanda with the whole Zach kiss, Amanda said Zach kissed her. Carlene needed the last insult to be a doozy and shut Amanda up so she threw in how her husband died, “Atleast my husband keeps his hands on the wheel while having an orgasm” Oops, The kids walk up right when those words came out. OUCH! Back at home, Amanda is looking at the Niemen Marcus card wondering who her admirer is. When in walks Mama Gigi telling her that it’s her. Awww, that’s the best admirer! They have a moment and Gigi walks off to bed. Amanda pours her purse out on the bed and picks up her check from work, opens it and notices right away who the head company is, The Kitten corp. WOW, Carlene owns Boobylicious! Ha Ha

Sunday morning comes which means church time in Gigi’s house. This Sunday Amanda wants to say a prayer in front of the whole community. She feels blessed to have a home, family, and friends. She is thankful for her employers Carlene and Ripp for her wonderful job at Boobylicious. Ha Ha I loved Carlene’s face after that prayer!

I really enjoyed GCB, it made me laugh a lot. I plan to keep watching and I hope it stays around for a while! My favorite characters so far are Amanda, Sharon and Gigi. Hope you enjoyed my review.
