Die Queen von Versailles: Das Mega-Bauprojekt

I saw the original Queen of Versailles at the Sundance Film Festival and was outraged then. Now here comes another chapter of a cruel and ridiculous travesty. People are starving in the streets and she needs a 90000 Square Foot home? How narcissistic do you have to be? Totally obnoxious. I couldn't care less about her or her home and I'm disappointed that Discovery + sees fit to fund her in any way.

I realize this show was made a year ago, but it still feels like a bad fit as the world struggles with inflation. The original documentary was thought provoking but this show is disgusting and demonstrates that Mrs Siegel leaned nothing from her brush with "poverty" 10 years ago. Instead it shows the vacuousness and willful wastefulness of this woman by attempting to glamorize a lifestyle that isn't the envy of the audience but rather the subject of its disdain. 5 minutes in you'll realize it's like a toddler was handed millions and given carte blanche. I couldn't make it through an entire episode. There is nothing redeeming about this show.

I liked the original documentary and always wondered how the house turned out. I love watching the new show as they try to finish everything up.

People are being too hard on the show. It's an easy show to watch and follow. I think it's interesting to see how that level of wealth lives. And their an enjoyable loving family.

I mean, this is nothing compared with for example "Keeping up with the Kardashian's" who built up their entire career and fortune with their show. I like Jackie, she's more genuine than any other rich mom with a reality show. I thinks it fun and interesting to follow the process with this gigantic project of finishing the house, that's been called the most expensive building failure since they halted the whole thing. I mean this is their dream home. I would build mine too if I had the money.

And I think Jackie does a greater job than her husband listening to the actual experts who are responsible for the building and design process. I really hope we get a second and maybe third season to see it done. I see some tendencies in her sons that's going to mess with it but I hope it ends well.

The Biltmore Estate in NC is over 178,000sqft.

Not sure what she is trying to accomplish, but the Gilded Age ended 100 years ago.

This is so tacky. I can't imagine having that much money to spend on non-sense. Especially in this AWFUL liberal economy.
