http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/26/Footballers-Wive--Attempted-Rape-Death-and-a-Nutter-Brazilian.aspx Oh, how I have been looking forward to tonight! Ever since I developed my FOOTBALLERS WIVES addiction, Wednesday can’t come quickly enough. Tonight I planned well. In preparation for some serious TV, I had a nice dinner and drank a bottle of something pink and fizzy, to get into the mood. I even had some chocolate cookies for dessert. So, you can imagine how disappointed I was to get a stupid Roger episode! I thought we were done with Roger, the prissy team manager, who went blind trying to save Bruno and Lucy from Amber. I was wrong. Tonight, his lovely, normal-seeming wife, Jackie, is almost raped by the ex-glam rocker chairman of Earls Park, Garry. I can’t stand rape scenes (the one in SHOWGIRLS ruined it for me), even when they are on shows as gratuitously trashy as FOOTBALLERS WIVES. I think it is because the women on this show are oddly empowered. It is not called FOOTBALLERS, and for a very good reason. The women are what matter. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/26/Footballers-Wive--Attempted-Rape-Death-and-a-Nutter-Brazilian.aspx 77 60
