The Valley

Ok we all know what we want and that's the original messiness of VPR - well here they are Kristen Doute and Jax Taylor need I say more? Yes there's babies now but Kristen and Jax still bring the comments and the chaos we all know and love.

After the disappoint of the latest VPR season this was a welcome relief to watch.

I can't say much on the new couples after just the first episode but the season preview does some upcoming drama and tensions. There's also chatter around one couples marriage that does change after having kids - and not for the better - which I do feel does not get talked about enough on television.

I was so excited to see this and then when I finally watched the trailer I feel like I just wasted minutes of my life. You literally picked the bottom of the barrel people with the exception of Kristen and some randoms. And you picked to put someone on and put their best friend to be "the mediator" of the group. He isn't involved with them. He clearly likes men and isn't in the "Valley" Vanderpump genre as he wasn't a cast member or couple in ANY season. As someone who was like YES more Vanderpump, it's a doozy. And as for Brittany to be your image of the show, (as it seems) uh CRINGE. She is the epitome of someone who needs to love themselves. Jax cheated on national television and she thinks she is this hot stuff. You were cheated on. That doesn't make a relationship stronger. I won't be watching any longer, these "characters" don't need a platform any longer.

The first episode is introducing all the players and will evolve from there. We are already seeing some drama in the works with Kristen who 100% makes reality TV sparkle. Similar to VPR, you will either love it or hate it. Brittany and Jax are juicy and i was thrilled to see some cast from VPR make appearances. This is going to be so good as time goes on. It seems a bit less scripted than VPR which even if that's not true, they are doing a better job of making it seem reality. The party was inspiring and loved the theme. There seems to be more depth to this series so far and a sense of growth in Jax. Brittany is sweeter than buttermilk biscuits! I prefer this show over housewives and when VPR ends the grieving process will be easier since we can watch The Valley. Looking forward to getting to know the rest of the crew and so glad Jasmine is there along with Janet. Jesse needs to be real and you all know what I am saying!

If Jax doesn't get axed from *The Valley*, I'm done watching. He brings nothing positive to the show - just the same toxic behaviour. He treats Brittany with abusive language, shows signs of domestic violence, keeps drinking, and acts like a deadbeat father. Enough is enough. He needs to go. Why are we normalising this behaviour? Since coming out of rehab, he hasn't even made an effort to see his son - who should have been his main priority. Not paying the mortgage and putting Brittany and their child at risk of losing their home is absolutely disgusting. It's time this behaviour had real consequences.

I can add this show to my guilty pleasures, just like Vanderpump Rules and the Real Housewives. I love it! I hope their will be many seasons to come. It is so fun to see Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kirsten Doute back in action again. And sometimes seeing the castmates from Vanderpump at parties too. It just feels familiar. Now that they are older and raising children you can see they struggle just like everyone else. Relationship problems, pregnancy problems, it just keeps you glued to the show. You want to know what happens next! And lets be honest Jax and Kirsten can have a show just about the two of them and I would watch it... so: fun!!
