We have been celebrating tomorrow night’s Sleepy Hollow Season 3 premiere, with a seven-day lovefest. Yes, we are completely in love with Abbie Mills and swoon over that damn sexy hobo Ichabod Crane, but there’s another Team Witness member we adore, Abbie’s sister, the smart and nuanced action girl, Miss Jenny Mills.
The fresh, witty, dark comedy UnREAL, my favorite new summer show is winding down. On the episode, “Two,” Quinn pushed “The Suitor” Adam to agree to a spin-off featuring his first year of marriage to one of the ladies. Not that I obsess over this show — which offers a fictional take on the Dementors behind dating competitions like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette — and by that I mean I totally obsess over this show. Here are submissions for “Everlasting” spin-offs.
It’s hard to believe that there are only four episodes left of the first season of UnREAL, Lifetime’s smart, funny, intense, dark series about behind-the-scenes machinations in the control room of fictional reality dating show “Everlasting.” The last episode, “Fly” was a jaw-dropper, the brutal producers pushed a contestant over the edge. Here are eight times the Everlasting producers were very bad people.
Athena, played by Natasha Burnett, is a producer’s dream; tell Athena how to play her character and she will serve up some Nomarosa realness. That’s because she has her head in the game unlike all those other true-believers, those deluded starry-eyed ladies, who think they’ll ride into the sunset with The Bachelor, or as the male prize, Adam, is known as on UnREAL, The Suitor.
Evil Queen Quin is aware of Anna’s eating disorder and nearly clapped her hands with glee at the thought of a contestant sprawled on the bathroom floor, surrounded by her “concerned” rivals.
Reunited high school sweethearts Jamie “Ghost” St. Patrick and Angela Valdes were so happy together and ready to run off to Miami. Typical New Yorkers always thinking life in Florida is going to be so much better, then they encounter their first alligator or serial killer or voting irregularities and they see the dark side of the Sunshine State. In any case, Jamie’s married and Tasha St. Patrick seems like the kind of wife who wouldn’t go quietly, but that’s not their biggest obstacle. Jamie and Angie’s careers get in the way. Ever since Jamie’s bestie, business partner, and dragon Tommy Egan, informed St. Patrick that his mistress might want to lock him up in a federal prison, Jamie’s had some trust issues. Let’s go!
Quinn, the queen bee producer of reality dating show, “Everlasting” is an expert evil queen. Intense, high-strung, willing to break hearts and destroy lives in the name of ratings. God, I love her.
UnREAL’s debut episode gets all the details right: the bland male prize, the mansion, the fountain, Shamiqua handles the mini talent show and don’t forget the prop, there’s always a prop, Mary, the designated desperate MILF, brings the stuffed animal. There are no roses to accept, but every lady is given a diamond bracelet, which she has to return when she gets kicked off. (Now, that’s really unkind!)
