Made In Chelsea Series 4, Episode 6

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, Lucy – how do we solve a problem like Lucy? This week on Made in Chelsea Jamie got his heart broken, Andy stole Jamie’s “girl” and poor, poor Francis got played… by Proudlock. Ugh. It was a trying week.

Lets start with Jamie’s sad attempt at hooking up with Lucy. “Hey Lucy, its Jamie – wanna hang?” – *posh nasally voice* “Um, no. I’m like, reeeeeally busy, like, forever.” THE END. Yo’ James: get it through your bleached head. One night of fun and a drinks “date” does not a married woman make. She don’t like you – AND she’s one of them MANIACAL crazies. So here’s my advice, stay away bro – or at least try not to spark incredibly awkward dinner fights at black tie functions (or do: it makes good TV).

BUT this brings me to my second point. Proudlock, please stop crushing beautiful things in their infancy. Like an annoying, hipster sand goby, Proudlock eats his defenseless, proverbial young. I mean, how cute was that moment between Sophia and Francis in the gallery? Was that not one of the only really (seemingly) genuine moments in this entire episode? Even crazy Lucy’s ‘games’ felt fake in comparison – but in that MTV kind of way where the ‘reality’ show you’re watching sounds like it’s being read aloud by your grandparents.

STILL, we made it to Rosie’s dinner party by the very end. I have two things to say about this. Number one: will everyone stop thanking Rosie for all her hard work in putting this dinner together? Girlfriend didn’t lift a finger except to write those checks – thank your waiter, he’s not annoying. Number two: I know you’re the self-styled “gossip girl of Chelsea” – (honestly, that’s what it says on e4.com) – but gossip girl would never let such a boring set of accusations erupt at a dinner table. Such potential wasted! Yes, we obviously knew from the moment Andy invited Lucy to the dinner that there were going to be flare ups. Although, to be fair, a full-table throw-down on romantic affairs was not expected. Either way, I was expecting more out of someone who compares themselves to the show that gave us Chuck and Blair.

Oh well. At least next week looks promising – its depression-era America themed by the looks of it.
