Bridezillas. Would you?

Y I Oughta · April 2011

So I sent an email in for the fun. I never in a million years thought they would call. Well, they did. I have to make the decision to call them back, like now. I don't know all the details yet, and I don't know how mean I could be for real, but I could fake it wonderfully. FI an dI think that if everyone knows it's just for the show, they will have fun with it. I don't know about that. It is supposed to pay pretty well, and I could use the money. Maybe I'm too nice in believing most of those girls are over acting for the camera, which I could definitely do. I'm sure I could just act normal around my family and they would have plenty of footage from just that. There was that girl that cried her way through the show, I could do that. I know I couldn't be mean to any vendors, except maybe the farm lady, all the rest have been wonderful. I wonder if they stage any of that stuff.

Would you be on the show or be in the wedding party for someone on the show?

J&K10910 · April 2011

Nope. Everyone who doesn't know you will think you're a crazy biitch and talk about how crazy you are. Plus, I think it would be added stress that I wouldn't want.

Plus, I don't think they actually pay that much at all.

My self-respect is worth more.

maratea · April 2011

HELLZ NO. I've seen a few episodes of that show and all I can think about those women is that they are horrendous cows. There was that one girl, I think her name was Karen. She was on several episodes. Good lord, she was insane. I just don't understand how someone can act like that and treat others so poorly. I couldn't even do it in jest or fun.

[Deleted User] · April 2011

No. I have zero respect for the women on that show. The way they treat people is inexcusable. Do you really want people looking at you like that all for a few grand? Honestly, I think you'd be selling yourself out and it could come back to bite you in the ass. What if a future employer saw it and decided not to hire you based on that behavior, even if you were faking it?

pirategal03 · April 2011

I could never do it. I'd be terrible at it, and I'd feel bad forever. If I cried my way through the whole thing it'd be because I was so angry and ashamed at myself for even having the idea in the first place.

Y I Oughta · April 2011

Mara: I know who Karen is, I wanted to hunt her down and slap her. If it only pays $5000 it isn't worth it.

ETA: Sesh, the employer thing is something I hadn't thought about.

This idea just fizzled out.

shaydenise · April 2011

There's NO WAY I would do it. Even though I know a lot of it probably is staged, just watching it I still think poorly of the women on there and feel embarrassed for them. I just wouldn't want people thinking that about me lol. Especially since there are probably people that know me that I'm no longer around who could see it and think I've turned into a major bizitch.

But if you do it you have to tell us the air date lol.

thesequel · April 2011

Hell no. They also edit those shows like crazy so even if you were nice....it would probably be edited out to make the show follow the "script" that it needs to.

Seriously. If there was ever a bitch whose hair I'd want to cut off while she was sleeping, it'd be that girl.

I'm glad you are passing on this opportunity. I think you value yourself more than that. Those women have some serious self-esteem issues.

shaydenise · April 2011

MilkDuds, that's the girl that bitched out the bouncer at a club right? And told people they were not worthy of her and beneath her, among other things. I will never in my life forget that trainwreck of a cvnt.

Y I Oughta · April 2011

Yup, Karen was the ultimate Bridezilla. I couldn't stand her or her voice. I change the channel every time she is on.

I told FI I don't want to and he seems a little disappointed. He thinks I could fake it really well and that my family would provide enough footage for three shows. Haha

NatesGirl16 · April 2011

Nope. First off, I would be putting my job in jeopardy (not literally, but most definitely with parents, future placement, etc) and I just wouldn't want people to have that image of me. I DO laugh at the show and enjoy watching those stupid beyotches, but I wouldn't want to be one.

pirategal03 · April 2011

Oh her! I remember her. She's the one where the seamstress ended up calling the police? Right? (I don't watch that often, so I might be wrong)

NatesGirl16 · April 2011

Karen was so ugly in all of her pictures, too.

jerseydevil · April 2011

I would if I was in a wedding party, but then again I don't have any friends who are that bitchy, so I guess I wouldn't by default.

I would not even dream of doing that. I don't have it in me and couldn't imagine adding that layer of stress to the drama that weddings already bring out in people.

Posted by pirategal03[/QUOTE]
YES! And she was screaming on the phone at her FI that the seamstress stole her dress or something ridiculous. I don't know how her father didn't smack her in the face. How could you let your child act like that, especially when he was shelling out lots and lots of money. And I'd bet money that she is like that in real life too, not just a front for the show.

Milsey32 · April 2011

PP said $5K, which isn't enough for me to be a betch (if I was on Bridezilla I would probably end up sending an apology to each of the vendors or something)... it seems like so much work, so I probably wouldn't. However, I wouldn't mind being in the WP (they're not betchy, are they? IDK, I haven't seen the show)

[Deleted User] · April 2011

I don't know who this Karen person is. The person I remember most is the one who said she would kill her baker and eat her for screwing up the cake. All I could do was wonder why she wasn't arrested for making a threat like that on national TV.

Oh and there was the one who made her FI glue sequins on her shoes, then didn't even wear them. My H never would have done that. Come to think of it, this might have been the same person.

Meg1979 · April 2011

Karen was awesome. "I'm not apologizing to a DOORMAN!" You know she wasn't acting for the camera. I can see her being that bitchy to everyone.

Wrkn925 · April 2011

I would do Four Weddings as a bride.

I would participate it Bridezilla if i was in the wedding party, but not the bride.

Wiscisbliss · April 2011

I guess that my wedding is about marriage... not a television show.

Also, my Mom would punch me in the face if I acted half as bad as the zillas.

[QUOTE]YIO, I kind of find it interesting you considered this in the first place. You seem fairly private on TK with stuff you share, especially about your kid. You also changed your SN because your ex (I think) found you by your e-mail address right? Seems weird you'd consider going on TV because that would put your kid and your whole life out there for people to see.
Posted by ILoveMilkDuds[/QUOTE]

One of the stipulations would have been that the kid wasn't involved in the show. I wouyld have made them blur her or not film her at all. The SN change wasn't because he found me by my email, it was because the kid left my email open while at his house and he ransacked it. So I shut it down.

missy68 · April 2011

I wouldn't purposefully humiliate myself in that way for money, especially knowing they'll take the footage and make me look even worse.

I'll ditto Anna on the self-respect. I may need more, but what I've got is worth more than that.

Y I Oughta · April 2011

The way I look at it is this. The people that know me know I'm not like that in real life. The people that don't know me don't really matter. The main problem I have with it is the possibility of losing future employment. Why would I care what people I don't know think about me, they judge me every day because I have two tone hair, or I have tattoos, or I had a kid when I was young. The world is full of judgmental people, none of which matter to me. I am not as "normal" as the general population, and frankly, I think I could pull it off pretty well, and it might be kind of fun. I'm not meaning for this to come off bitchy, it's more of a shrug, what ever type of situation for me.

Wiscisbliss- just because I consider this tv show doesn't mean my marriage or wedding is any less important to me than your is to you. I would be doing it for the money. Not so I can get on TV, or to be famous. Your statement was as judgmental as the people I deal with on a daily basis, and you are not any better than anyone else. This I do mean to be bitchy about.

LaurenHH · April 2011

I definitely wouldn't. I watch the show because I think it's funny, but everytime they do something ridiculous, my FI tells me that if he ever sees me act like that, he'll call off the wedding, no joke. So, no, it wouldn't be worth it to me.

SarahPLiz · April 2011

No. Its not just you that has to deal with the stares and snickers afterwards, its your daughter too. Even if she isn't filmed, her friends know you, and her teachers, etc. I wouldn't want to put that image out there int he community where my child grows up.

This is also a good point. I hadn't thought of that either. This is why I bring it to SB, to get insight to things I hadn't considered.

kd.joseph · April 2011

I used to watch it when it first aired, but I just can't sit through that crap anymore.

I dont care how much acting there is, you cant tell me there isnt a little bit of that in each of those girls. Case in Point Karen.

I get my reality TV from The Soup!

[Deleted User] · April 2011

Sarah brings up a good point. And that could extend to your entire family. You may not care what random strangers think of you, but they might care how you, and by extension your family, are represented in that show. I often pity the families on that show, or wonder why the mothers are so stupid for letting their daughters get away with such behavior.

And I'm not sure what you mean by not being like the "normal" general population. Everyone is different in their own way and can be judged on any part of who they are, what they look like, what they do. But if you don't care about looking like an ass for money and having that representation of you out there for all the world to see--and be documented basically forever--then have at it. It's totally not for me, so I admit I can't understand why someone would want to do it.

Bridezillas. Would you?
