The first couple was painful to watch. Although I did feel like things had changed by the end of the process. I think the tension between the 2 of them is super common for couples where one spouse works and one stays home with the kids. He envisioned in his mind she would be like June Cleaver and well, she was painfully not June. She was uncomfortable to watch as she really had no clue how to take care of a house or organize anything.

She wasn't great, but he was definitely a dick. They both weren't winners.


what? HOW? the fact that he got sentimental when he found his wedding video - was it that that made him a "dick"? Or was it when he interacted so lovingly with his children?

Jesus christ....



He was good to his kids but a condescending ass to his wife.


Oh my goodness - what? maybe the west coast version of the show is different than the east coast version? I saw zero "ass" characteristics in this guy.


Ditto


I thought the wife was the ass! The Pinterest-inspired home decor, the slogan shirts...I just got the feeling that she spends more time on instagram than in the real world, perhaps that's why she's so stressed out?


I think you nailed it. What was her job anyway? Is it a real one, I wonder? Or is she one of those who look for ways to make money using social media. I think she irritated me more because she reminded me of a few women i know in real life. She seemed way to quick to cry “stressed out”.


She was a cultural interpreter of some sorts.

She's too stressed to do laundry. Annoying.

Okokok, I'm slightly jealous (very jealous) that she has someone to do laundry for her. But everything was a mess so the laundress must not have been very good.

Np here. I didn’t like either of them. They were so not cute. It really makes me question the whole show. Like why would someone in charge choose them? And then put them first in the Netflix lineup? She irritated me way more than him. But he married her so...

I do not think the marriage will last. I never think such things about reality tv people. But they have the worst elements of my marriage times a thousand. And I worry about mine.

They obviously did downsize, but it wasn’t sufficient. I really liked that family.

I did as well. I hope that they find success in LA!

I wondered but her husband kissed her at the end so probably not. I admire her for not being insecure about it. It's life.


I thought the exact same thing. I figured it was herpes. I noticed the editors were kind to include more shots from the good side. But then the husband kissed her and that made me think not herpes.


It’s a mole.



A red mole on two different lips over the course of the show. It was a very mobile mole.

I watched the first episode and I wasn't impressed by how the kitchen drawers simply held like sized items in random boxes.

Honestly, the Kardashians have better organized kitchens and pantries.


It's helpful for your first big de-cluttering. Sometimes, people don't realize how much stuff they have until they see it in front of them. It also makes sense in terms of her methodology. Marie Kondo declutters in categories- clothes, book, kitchen supplies, etc.

Honestly, organizing is mostly common sense. But as someone who has worked as an organizer, you would be surprised at how uncommon common sense is sometimes. It might be self-evident to you that similarly sized objects should be stored together but it's not to many people.

The Kardashians probably have hired help. Kondo's strategies are geared towards everyday people.




But every show like this does exactly that: pile it up then decide what to keep, toss or sell. There was a show just like this on hgtv a million years ago.

Again: not impressed with the state of the kitchen drawers. While I'm sure the kardashian's have professional organizers, then perhaps they should have their own show and shill the pretty organizational containers.

She looks so familiar to me! found her Insta, but it doesn't explain why she looks familiar to me. anyone else?


She and her sisters were regulars on that Bravo show “The People’s Couch”, where random people watch Bravo series and make snarky comments.

Her maiden name is Resnick: http://www.bravotv.com/the-peoples-couch/photos/the-people-of-peoples-couch/item/10121426


THAT'S IT!!! I loved People's Couch! Yes, I do know who she is - it wasn't my imagination!
