Queen of Versailles Reigns Again

What a desperately unhappy woman and her desperately pointless house. Why anyone wanted to make this is the question of the day. Probaly this strange, unattractive and weird woman paid someone to make it and paid to have it promoted as something, though I am not sure what we should call it. Watching beer bottles falling down the stairs would be more interesting and more honest. This woman has solittle self-awareness that at best we can wonder about her sanity and mental health. Arguably one of the most useless video projects ever filmed.

Interesting and entertaining show for interior design and architecture enthusiasts. The Sieglers have been attempting to build USA's largest family home for 20 years. Due to financial obstacles they had to postpone their plans, but now Jackie is more than determined to finish the house.

Every detail on Vesailles grandiosity mirrors perfectly Jackie's vain character. Apart from vain, she is also quite funny, even though she seems to deal with problems bigger than one can think a rich woman like her can have. Personally, I think that she diverts her attention from her pain to her luxury life problems. Most of us cannot afford to even think of the things that stress her during the show, but those are not really why the Queen of Versailles is sad.

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 can't decide if that makes it better or worse but for me at least it makes it entertaining instead of sad. And this isn't simply a monument to excess, it's built to be basically a modern day palace where the entire multi-generational family will live for centuries. Sadly it's extremely difficult to find craftsmen to build something like that these days, especially enough of them to complete this home properly in their lifetime. Which is probably the real lesson to be learned here.

If Jackie thinks her over the top clueless antics are funny to most people she really needs to read some reviews here, a lot more people would like her real personality more. When her daughter died she spoke very eloquently, set up charities and put in real work in her daughter's name.

I thought the initial documentary was bad, but no, this is worse. What a narcissist who can't even keep up a conversation with her daughter about leaving school the next day (she thought.). She immediately switches the conversation back to herself. This is a horrible show. And don't forget, this family made their money from selling timeshares to people who (for the most part) have no idea what they are truly buying and how they will never be able to get out from under it. Make your living honestly and I don't have as much of a problem. These guys didn't.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this show and you will not wish you wasted your time.
