http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/FOOTBALLERS-WIVE-508.aspx Graduating from college, New Year’s Eve, the season finale of FOOTBALLERS WIVES; there are some things that are never going to live up to your high expectations. FOOTBALLERS WIVES set the bar of what was possible on a trashy soap opera so high at the beginning of the season, that in order to out do itself, it had no choice but to under whelm. Tonight’s finale was more sordid then campy, more trash then fun. The closest the episode got to being fun was Liberty’s ridiculous racist cannibal ad. It was a bad version of the whiskey ad in LOST IN TRANSLATION, complete with a bad Japanese translator. Otherwise, I just felt bad for everyone. And pity is not fun at all. Firstly, did I miss Lucy and Tre sleeping together? When the hell did that happen? I am sure I saw every episode this season. And I am also sure I would remember those two getting it on. But Tre has spent the past eight weeks tripping in Liberty’s wake, trying to keep hold of his woman. The only scene I remember of Tre and Lucy alone together in, was when she fit him for those wedding trousers. Can a girl get preggers by touching a guy’s thigh, through the pants he is going to wear at his own wedding (to another girl?) Sounds plausible, I guess. The next bone I have to pick is with stupid nineteen-year-old Callum. Listen here, boy. You are never going to have a girl as good and sweet, and as curvaceous, as Shannon ever again.  And no one will dress as wonderfully for you. Shannon’s outfit was by far the best of the lot tonight. The thigh-high latex Dior boots, paired with the booty cut sequin shorts were the kicker. Well done. I think I saw the same look in Vogue, recently. 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/2007/08/02/FOOTBALLERS-WIVE-508.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/FOOTBALLERS-WIVE-508.aspx#1215 I DON'T LIKE THIS SHOW IT SEEMS TO BE MORE ABOUT SEX AND LESS ABOUT OTHER THINGS dorothy fugate http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/FOOTBALLERS-WIVE-508.aspx#1215 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 23:02:56 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/FOOTBALLERS-WIVE-508.aspx#1247 I STILL CAN'T GET IN TO THIS SHOW dorothy fugate http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/FOOTBALLERS-WIVE-508.aspx#1247 Tue, 21 Aug 2007 03:56:20 GMT
