TheFlipanthropycameras are finally rolling again in Espanola.
(The prize, to be clear, is my ire.)
In other moments, Whitney further reveals herself to be a spoiled bratanda megalomaniac.
How did Whitney get so deranged?
We dont get the answer this week, just ample evidence of her self-centeredness.
I suppose temperature is relative.
Sure, her hearts in the right place.
Eventually, Lucinda and Dennis bail on the home sale and the TV show altogether.
Asher is worried about cash flow, but Whitneys response is good riddance.
Lucinda and Dennis, who admitted they didnt even care about passive home certification, dont deserve Whits home.
And Vic doesnt deserve Whits home.
But Whitney doesnt want anyone to utter the word prison on her show.
In fact, she doesnt want them to say anything she hasnt pre-authorized.
It sounds terrible and fake and indistinguishable from the buyers Ive encountered on actual HGTV home reno shows.
Which all makes me wonder what Asher thinks the show theyre filming is about.
And vanity projects dont need partners.
They dont even need sidekicks with iPhone notes full of jokes, though kudos to Asher for trying.
(My personal fave note was Puns are safe.)
Take those crime rates Cara mentions.
Until now,The Cursehas been vague about the situation in Espanola.
But the fact he carries it feels meaningful.
Whitney, however, doesnt want to see that.
When a producer mentions a nearby shooting, Whit insists it occurred beyond Espanola city limits.
Its a well-meaning gesture, of course.
What was it she said when they were about to roll camera?
No jokes, no negativity.
In truth, this girl has no real community.
Her community is the show.
To be fair, she appears deeply rattled by the compromise thats been struck.
When he tells her, Youre my angel, she doesnt even muster a reply.
(Mine was ew.)
But you know how I know shes really beaten down?
TWO HEADS, ONE PILLOW.
She can probably even feel his warm mouth-breath in her hair.
