Highs

Jon's Protectiveness Over Trinity's Wrestling Gear

When it was suggested in Mexico (by Nattie I believe) that the girls do sexy photoshoots on the beach to show off their bodies to their men, Trinity was against it due to the fact that Jon had a problem with her racy wrestling gear previously. Cautious, she decided to sit out of the photoshoot because she didn't want to upset Jon. I think it's kinda sweet how Jon doesn't want Trinity to reveal too much of herself to everyone as he wants to be the only one to see it. Old fashioned, but I like it.

Divas Fun at The Beach

The chemistry between the girls (minus Eva Marie who wasn't there) is clear to see as this episode was spent with them having fun in Mexico. It looked like genuine fun when the girls were laughing and joking around and throwing each other into the pool, before running around on the beach, grappling and pushing each other without a care in the world. What a life to live.

Nikki's/Bryan's Node to Brie That Life is Too Short

Brie has a difficult relationship with her Father which causes her to have little to no contact with him. However, both Nikki and Daniel Bryan expressed to Brie one way or another how life is too short. As Bryan said, there may come a day when he is no longer here. It is a little reminder to appreciate loved ones before it is too late.

Girls Spent All Episode Together

Minus Eva Marie, the rest of the Divas cast spent this episode in Mexico relaxing and having fun together as they took a break from their hectic work schedule. It was nice to see all the girls together where their chemistry shone as in previous episodes the Divas have been seen doing their own thing. More than that, all the girls seem to get on really well with one another which can be a rare feat for a group of (especially attractive) women.

Paige's Convo with TJ

Fed up of Nattie's constant talk of husband TJ and tag team partner Cesaro's bromance, Paige decided to wind Nattie up by suggesting that TJ was gay. The funniest part of this came from Paige's talk with TJ when Nattie called him up to tell him of what Paige had said. Paige asked TJ about his relationship with Cesaro and his response didn't exactly help matters. He started commenting about how strong Cesaro was and how much he can bench press (or something like that), cracking Paige and the girls up. Funny.


Lows

Alicia Fox Posts Video of Trinity Twerking On Instagram

The girls spent an evening at a bar drinking cocktails and twerking (my kind of night, minus the twerking). Trinity was unaware that Alicia Fox had filmed her twerking and posted it up on her instagram page. Trinity wasn't happy with this as she was afraid that Jon would see and disapprove and she didn't want to let him down. She told Alicia Fox that if she knew she had been filmed then she wouldn't have done it. It is a reminder of how easily something can end up on social media to be imprinted on the internet forever (or for as long as it stays online).

Divas Find Out Dusty Rhodes Passed Away

It was sad watching the Diva's reaction after they found out about WWE Legend Dusty Rhodes passing away. Nattie broke down into tears and Paige teared up as she talked about what Dusty meant to her. R.I.P to the legend that is Dusty Rhodes.

Notable Quotes

"Someday he might not be here," - Daniel Bryan

Highs

Trinity Suggests Jon Does Stand Up Comedy

The majority of the highs from this episode stem from Jon/Jimmy Uso and his stand up comedy as this took centre fold. It all started when Trinity suggested that Jon pursued stand up comedy as another career prospect. Yes! Jon has made me laugh in practically every appearance he has made in Total Divas. He's funny, goofy and lighthearted, making him a great character for the show.

Jon Tests His Material In Front Of Trinity and Her Father

Trinity and her Father wanted Jon to test out his material to see whether or not Jon could make them laugh. Trinity got into her underwear to put Jon at ease (because of that thing about picturing the audience in their underwear if they're feeling nervous). Jon decided to make all of his material about his wife, such as her going to the jacuzzi with a shower cap on and having stinky breath in the morning. It was funnier than put on paper and I cracked up as I usually do with Jon. Trinity's Father also thought the whole thing was funny, bursting out into laughter but Trinity wasn't too pleased about being mocked understandably. To add salt to the wounds, Trinity's Father continued to mock his daughter, jokingly walking out of the room with a shower cap on. Funny.

Jon Takes the Mick Out Of Dolph Ziggler

I enjoyed the presence of Dolph Ziggler this episode, who seems to have just as much of a goofy and funny personality as Jon. It was also interesting to hear that he does stand up comedy on the side, giving Jon a gig at the 'Laugh Factory'. After Trinity expressed her dislike of Jon's material being about her, Jon attempted new material which consisted of really bad knock knock jokes. However, all ended well on the night of the Laugh Factory as Jon took to making fun of Dolph Ziggler and his beach boy looks instead.

Paige's Boyfriend Proposes With Tattoo On Arm

After snooping through boyfriend Kevin's belongings, Paige and WWE Diva Emma discovered a wedding ring in Kevin's jacket, so a lot of this episode was spent with Paige trying to avoid getting Kevin to propose. She knew it was coming, but Kevin proposed in the sweetest way. As he was going to get a new tattoo, he had a tattoo tested on his arm which read 'will you marry me' in fancy writing before he got down on one knee with the ring in his hand. Paige obviously couldn't say no to him after that! Props to Kevin.

Lows

Paige and Emma Snoops Around Kevin's Stuff

First this girl uses a decoy to test if her boyfriend would stray and now this. To be fair, it was Emma that thought to look through his stuff. This was after Paige had mentioned her and Kevin's trip to the jewellery store and the suspicious questions he asked her while they were there. 

WWE Doesn't Clear Daniel Bryan To Wrestle

I feel bad for Daniel Bryan, who seems to be having problems with his health and with the injuries he has suffered. Although he was cleared by his doctors, he wasn't quite cleared by the WWE as they were afraid about him getting back into the ring after his neck injury. Daniel Bryan's wife Brie shared the same concern, fearing she would be taking care of him in his fifties if he continued to wrestle and put his health on the line.

Notable Quotes

"It's not about our next 2 years, it's about our next 20," - Brie Bella

"You're health is more important than money," - Brie Bella

Highs

Jon/Jimmy Uso's Presence

As perhaps my favourite recurring star on this show, I was more than happy for him to be given quite a bit of screen time. This was due to a trip Trinity planned for Trinity and Jon's family, where she planned to use an RV to travel to location. I have made it more than clear of my love for Jon/Jimmy Uso, who has a lighthearted, goofy and fun persona. In one of his first appearances this episode he displayed this side of him, joking that everyone was too big to stay in an RV together amongst other things.

Trinity Plans Trip for Family in RV

It was a nice gesture on Trinity's behalf to suggest a mini vacation for the family, where we were given a genuine insight into what it would be like hanging out with the Trinity/Jon crew. Apart from a few mishaps, the trip looked like a bunch of fun overall and I have to admit that I would have loved to be a part of it.

Brie Bella, Nikki Bella and Renee Young Go on Mini Vacation

Again, we were given an insight into another mini vacation. This time it was on the half of the Bella Twins and WWE Commentator Renee Young, to help Nikki Bella take her mind off of all the stress and anxiety she had been going through as of late. I am just a tad envious of the place and location these girls got to spend time in. Beautiful.

Lows

Nikki Bella is Affected by Stress and Anxiety 

It was interesting to witness the anxiety and stress that Nikki had been going through due to the extra responsibility placed upon her as Diva's Champion. It goes to show that even the ones who seem to have it all feel the same emotions as us little people.

Jonathan Coyle

I like Jonathan and he seems like a great support for Eva Marie who has been given a lot of work opportunities as of late. It would be nice to learn of what Jonathan does though, since we are given a little background of what the other Diva's partners do for work (we even know of what Paige's partner does who is not a wrestler).

No Paige/Alicia Fox/Rosa Mendes

I have become quite accustomed to this threesome who bring a lot of fun and craziness to the show and their absence missed felt this episode.

Notable Quotes

"You have to put a smile on your face and leave all of this in the car because that is our job," - Brie Bella

"My time is now and Jonathan needs to just buckle up and enjoy the ride with me," - Eva Marie

"Go big or go home," - Eva Marie

Highs

TJ is Less Than Impressed with Nattie's Sister

In this episode, Nattie's husband TJ displayed his disapproval of Nattie's sister staying with them at every opportunity. He was making little snide remarks, hinting at his displeasure of the situation but the girls weren't quite getting it. I feel bad for TJ at times. I love Nattie, she wears the pants in the relationship and Tj is like a little puppy who follows his owner (which would be Nattie). It makes for an interesting dynamic.

Daniel Bryan Doesn't Approve of Brie Dressing too Sexy

It's sweet how Daniel Bryan disapproved (there's that word again) of Brie showing too much skin whilst out on a lunch date and on a couple of other occasions. There are some guys who want to show their girlfriends/wives off to everyone, allowing their partners to strip naked for the world (ahem) and then there is Daniel Bryan. A normal, down to earth and every day guy who wants Brie all to himself. Very endearing.

Daniel Bryan Buys a Composting Toilet

Daniel Bryan decided to buy a composting toilet in a bid to get his wife to cover up. His genuine enthusiasm and passion for his new purchase was cute to watch and like me, Brie was baffled. Urine, poop, urine poop.

Lows

Nattie Sets Her Sister Up to Get Her Out of House

Nattie had the best intentions in setting her sister up with a 'mate' in the form of WWE Superstar Big E to get her out of the house. I imagine there are quicker ways of achieving this than finding love for her sister.

Paige gets aggressive with Ariane

Paige was sent by Talent Relations Executive to train fellow WWE Diva Ariane. However, Paige became frustrated by Ariane for endangering and not protecting her whilst performing wrestling moves on her and Paige got just a tad aggressive.

Notable Quotes

"Do you want to be dangerous or do you want to wrestle?" - Paige

"Urine, poop, urine, poop," - Daniel Bryan

Highs and Lows of the previous episode! http://natalyaon.blogspot.com/2015/08/highs-and-lows-total-divas-season-4_20.html

Highs

Brie's Singing

Brie was tasked with singing a remix of her theme song after being asked by the WWE. She was reluctant to do this, admitting she couldn't sing and in the studio she proved herself correct. It's always funny to watch someone who can't sing, try to sing. 

Nattie tries to act youthful and lets her hair down

Nattie attempted to be cool and 'down with the kids' after fears she was too old to still be a WWE Diva. Cue urban slang and a 'unique' handshake with WWE Superstar R-Truth. Her husband TJ's reaction and facial expression said it all. No No. At the same time, it was nice to see Nattie let her hair down at the bar with the Divas, even if it was for the wrong reasons. I love fun Nattie. This is the Nattie I would want to hang out with!

Nikki's Singing

For some reason, Nikki being all competitive wanted to prove that she was a better singer than her sister. She met with WWE composer Jim Johnston to sing her own version of her theme song and let's just say that she wasn't all that good. She was just as bad, if not, worse than her sister. Unlike Brie, she actually thought she was good. it was very reminiscent of bad auditions from talent shows of people who believe they can see. Funny. 

Tamina Goes Crazy over random guy

After this episode, I learnt never to mess with Tamina, who went HAM on some random guy, who thought he could square up to the Divas and attempted to kick at them. Go Tamina.

Brie Plays Joke on Nikki

Tired of her competitive sister, Brie decided to play a little joke on her by pretending that Nikki was given a gig to sing the national anthem in front of a bunch of spectators. Nikki believed her sister, practicing and failing miserably at her attempt to sing the national anthem until Brie put her out of her misery. Good on Nikki for trying though. Nothing wrong with a trier.


Lows

Nattie Cries

I felt for Nattie when she broke down into tears because she felt like she wasn't good enough for the WWE. There was a raw truth behind her tears due to the lack of opportunities she has received compared to some other Divas.

Paige Tests her boyfriend

Fellow WWE Diva and friend Rosa Mendez suggested that Paige test her boyfriend's loyalty, after Paige felt her boyfriend was a little too close to one of his fangirls. This was achieved by sending a random girl over to flirt with her boyfriend to see if he would do anything. He passed the test, but he was not too pleased when he found out about Paige and Rosa's intentions. At least Paige learnt not to take Rosa's advice next time.

Notable Quotes

"I love playing a bad guy. I love playing a b*tch," - Paige

"Do we need to stop and get you an education?" Brie to Nikki

"We're getting there. We're not, I'm lying," - Jim Johnston

"Why am I letting a number dictate my self worth?" - Nattie

Highs

Natalya

Natalya was a lot of fun in this episode, using initiative in regards to the Alicia Fox and Wade Barrett situation and causing mischief in the process. We saw a different to Natalya, who is usually stressing over something and it was good to see her let her hair down.

"Commoner" Paige

Paige is relatable as a "commoner" and as someone who is from Britain, also understands that Tea Time doesn't represent the United Kingdom. All Paige wanted was to have a pint, some fish and chips and to have some fun. She talked a lot of sense in this episode which is understandable because is from Norwich, England. I have lived in England all of my life and have never had a teatime either. Fish and chips however...

Eva Marie's and Jonathan Coyle's Food

Their food at that restaurant was mouth watering! I was hungry watching them devour that food. Coming from someone who is a fussy eater, I wouldn't have minded completely stuffing my face in whatever they were having. Jonathan also proved once again to be good support for Eva who was worried about the options of others concerning her bruises.

Lows

Teatime

Nikki's idea of a good time was having teatime. We already know that Nikki is quite materialistic and enjoys the finer things in life, but it did come across as stereotypical. Paige is right, teatime is more of a royals thing and outside of a funeral I have never seen a tea hat on my life. Except for on TV.

Alicia Fox/Wade Barrett

Rosa had a point about Alicia waiting until they were back home to tell Wade Barrett how she felt. As Wade Barrett has a girlfriend It could have been seen as a home wrecking situation just as Rosa. No one likes a home wrecker.


Notable Quotes

"If the love is there and it's real, sometimes it's worth fighting for what you want," - Nattie

"C'mon Nikki, you were at a farm, you worked in hooters!" - Paige

Highs

Nikki and Daniel Bryan

I like the dynamic between these two. Nikki Bella is quite a materialistic character and Daniel Bryan likes to tease her about this, as well as about not being too smart. At times, I think he perhaps took things too far (like when he said that he thought Nikki was going to a corner when commenting on her outfit), but it seems to be all in good fun as part of Daniel Bryan's personality.

Road Trip

A great little insight into the car journey's between the Diva's and Superstars they have to make when they're on the road and it looked like a lot of fun. I particularly enjoyed Trinity and Jon's convo Trinity told Jon she loved him to the moon and back and Jon told her he loved to the stop sign. Ensue a debate about Jon's love being temporary. Jon's response? "You know you ain't gonna make it to the moon, but I can make it to that stop sign." Jon cracks me up!

Jon/Jimmy Uso

As I've already said, Jon cracks me up. I was literally laughing out loud when Jon started recording the argument between Paige and Foxy with a big grin on his face, taking the whole thing as a joke. He's a very lighthearted character who doesn't take things too seriously and I like that.


Lows

Brie Bella doesn't stick up for Nikki

Considering the little digs Daniel kept making to Nikki Bella upset her, I was surprised that Brie didn't stick up for her sister and instead just went along with it. During their car journey, Brie told Nikki that she should just put up with it because it was his personality. She seemed to never take her sister's side during the whole thing. I think she came across as a little insensitive and cold to Nikki's feelings at this point.

Nattie Can't Say No

First, Nattie agreed to take on 19 cats from her local shelter and then she let Titus and co take a road trip with her and TJ. Both decisions left her husband unsatisfied because she seemed to do these things without consulting TJ first. I feel sorry for TJ in these situations who lives for a peaceful life.

Alicia Fox's Jealousy

Alicia made the bad move of showing up Paige and her new boyfriend. She did this by talking about Paige's ex and the reason they split in front of housewarming guests. This was all because Paige decided to move in with her boyfriend instead of Alicia and she was not too happy about this. However, we learnt towards the end of this episode that Alicia was just jealous of Paige's happiness because she was still in love with her ex boyfriend Wade Barrett.

Notable Quotes From This Episode

"I thought she was going to a corner," - Daniel Bryan

"If he wants to be my husband, this is the stuff he will have to put up with," - Natalya

"You know I love you, but that's a lot of cats," - Nattie's Mother

"You know you ain't gonna make it to the moon, but I can make it to that stop sign," - Jon (Jimmy Uso)

Natalya's Highs and Lows: Total Divas - Season 4 - Episode 3!

This time in my 'Highs and Lows', we take a look at episode 3 of Total Divas. To summarise, this episode continues to follow the divas leading up to Wrestlemania as more drama unfolds (mostly centred around Eva Marie again, yawn). Click here for the previous Highs and Lows blog, Episode 2! http://natalyaon.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/natalyas-highs-and-lows-total-divas.html

Highs

Nikki Bella tries to patch things up with Eva Marie

With the hostility still surrounding Eva Marie; especially with the Bella twins, it was nice to see Nikki Bella make the effort to try and patch things up. It's a little surprising to me just how much nicer and more forgiving Nikki is to Brie, who has quite a cut throat mentality. Maybe not cut throat but she can definitely be a bit harsh and blunt. It didn't go quite the way Nikki had hoped but at least she made the effort.

Daniel Bryan's speech on Connor The Crusher

I got a little bit emotional just like Daniel Bryan when giving his speech about Connor. I also felt teary eyed when watching the video WWE posted up last year of Connor hanging out with WWE superstars, including his favourite Daniel Bryan. It was a touching moment.

Paige wrestles her first Wrestlemania

Paige got a tad emotional after her Wrestlemania match because of how happy she was to be wrestling her first wrestle mania and at the age of 22, which is impressive. I like touching moments involving Paige because it helps me to warm to her. She has always come across to me as someone who doesn't get upset about too many things with her lighthearted and fun personality, so it was nice to see a different side to her.

Brie Bella stays with WWE

After finding out that both Brie and Daniel are fertile and able to have children, Brie decided that she was going to stay with the WWE. This whole time she had been set on leaving, so to hear her say that she was going to stay was a shock. A good shock, dare I say.

Eva lands agent Brad Slater

In the past three episodes Eva has been getting stick, because the Divas in general believe that she is only in the WWE for fame and doesn't have a passion for wrestling. Eva has told the Divas time and time again that she has been working hard to improve and that WWE means a lot to her. Still, she'd been given a hard time, so I was on her side when she revealed to her husband that she signed a deal with top agent Brad Slater who has worked with the likes of The Rock. In her situation I would have crumbled to the wrath of the Divas so good on her, though her getting an agent kind of proves Brie Bella's point.

Lows

Brie Bella on Eva Marie

Brie Bella had pretty much written Eva Marie off after her instagram post about a lion not following the opinion of sheep and when Brie Bella cuts you off, she cuts you off. I wouldn't want to get on he wrong side of Brie because the way she acted towards Eva at times verged on plain nasty. At times it felt a little unnecessary.

Nattie's puppy/kitty joke

I didn't watch the Hall Of Fame, so I don't know how that joke was perceived. They 'edited' in laughter (I don't know if it was edited or just cut awkwardly) but yeah, I didn't find it funny. Of course this is a very VERY minor low since I have very few lows this week but I love my fellow same named Diva so I can't fault her.

Not enough Trinity and Jon

Trinity and Jon are my favourite couple on Total Divas so naturally I want to see more of them. Give them some storylines, Total Divas.

Natalya's Highs and Lows: Total Divas - Season 4 - Episode 2!

Episode 1 of season 4 (time goes so fast) brought cattiness to the table, as the WWE Divas bitched like a bunch of highschoolers about he fact that Eva was getting private training, rather than training at WWE's developmental centre NXT. What did this episode bring? More drama of course! There wouldn't be a show without it.

Highs

Trinity Standing Up For Herself

Trinity! I had mentioned before on my review of Total Divas from Season 1 to 3, that Trinity was my favourite character on this show. Check out the review here! http://natalyaon.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/total-divas-review-3.html. This episode merely emphasised why I love her so much. There is nothing more that I hate than needless high school like bitching behind someone's back, which is what occurred majorly in the first episode, all because the WWE had sent Eva to train in LA with former WWE Superstar Brian Kendrick.

Trinity didn't agree with the way the girls were bitching about Eva, letting Eva Marie know that the girls were talking about her. WWE Diva Alicia found out about this and accused Trinity of stirring the pot. Trinity stood her ground as the voice of reason, not allowing herself to get sucked in to all of the high school drama. My girl.

Brian Kendrick's Speech

When Eva Marie told Brian Kendrick about what was going on with the Divas, Brian Kendrick's response was 'who cares?' His speech about the Divas hating because WWE expressed an interest in Eva rings true, not just on this show but in life. Jealousy is ugly.

Paige's Fan

I thought it was really sweet when Paige bumped into a fan on the street, who had told Paige that Paige helped her to overcome her eating disorder, because Paige chooses to her herself, not fitting into the typical mould of a Diva. Paige was out shopping with Alicia for a gown to wear for the WWE Hall Of Fame, despite a gown not being Paige's style and choice of clothing. After the encounter with her fan, Paige decided that she wasn't going to switch it up for the Hall of Fame, instead wearing her own style of outfit sending an important message of just being yourself.

Lows

Brie Bella's Not Pregnant

Brie thought that she may be pregnant because she was a couple of weeks late, but after starting her time of the month, we got an up and close look of how it affected her. She was disappointed, being intent on starting a family with Daniel Bryan and I had to admit that I felt for her.

Alicia Fox and Trinity Bust Up

During the altercation, I was naturally on Trinity's side. I like Alicia's feisty personality and understood where she was coming from with Eva, but she, as well as the other Divas went about it the wrong way.

Natalya and her Father

Natalya spent a lot of her time in this episode watching over her Dad recovering from his demons, trying her best to stop him from relapsing. She spent so much time and energy to make sure that her Father didn't spiral back out of control that she lost all focus on herself. Watching this unfold reminded me a little of a parent disciplining their children.

Total Divas - Review (3)

Season 3 of Total Divas Cast

My Backstory On Total Divas

As a long time fan of WWE (14 years to be precise), I was immediately interested in watching this reality series when I first heard about it back in 2013. I thought it was a great concept, following the WWE Divas about their lives and behind the scenes of WWE. It was particularly great for me as there was a time when I was so obsessed with WWE that I wanted to be a WWE Diva. I mean, the WWE Superstars and Divas get to travel the world! I actually though I had what it took to be one, despite being 5ft1, skinny and so weak I can't even do ten push ups without needing a rest. With that period of my life being long over, this show was a great alternative and insight into the lives and schedules of the WWE Divas.

Overall

I think the show is great. I have watched Total Divas from season 1 all the way up until now and each episode has kept me interested enough to stick with it. In my view it has definitely gotten better as the seasons have gone on. It's already been almost two years since the series first aired which was in July of 2013 in the USA I believe. It took quite a while to air in the UK but it's now broadcast on the E! Entertainment channel. 

If I can recall, season 1 was a bit of a slow start as they took the time to introduce all of the characters. We had the Bella Twins who were advertised as the main stars of the show, wrestling legend Nattie Neidhart, the Funkadactyls Trinity/Naomi and Ariane/Cameron and newbies Eva and Jo. In recent years I haven't been keeping up with wrestling as rigidly as I used to, but I had heard of all of these Divas beforehand except for Eva and Jo. I remember questioning to myself what appeal having newbies on the show would serve since I didn't know them and therefore wasn't interested in watching them. However, I understood that it would create an interesting dynamic on the show with different perspectives of where each Diva was at in their career, from two established divas, a wrestling legend, two divas rising up on the card and two newbies.

Favourite Season

Season 2 Of Total Divas Cast

Season 2! Season 2 was the birth of my favourite episode which had more than one star of the show and it wasn't the Bella Twins. I would give that award to Trinity, Trinity's boyfriend Jon and Ariane's boyfriend Vinnie who I had disliked in the previous season. Even Ariane was a star in her own right and had probably started to warm to me somewhere in season 2. It was that episode where Ariane offered to look after Nattie's cat while Nattie and her husband TJ went away for the weekend I believe. Cue disastrous results as Ariana (the worst cat sitter in the world) decides to have a house party at Nattie's house and loses the cat. Jon and Vinnie cracked me up in this episode, I was dying!

I think what makes this my favourite season though is that this is the season that Eva came into her own as a personality and character and the inclusion of Summer Rae who got on a couple of the Diva's bad side, particularly Nattie who despised her. Trinity also became a firm favourite of mine and I even started to like Ariane and Vinnie who I had previously mentioned I had disliked. The Bella twins who are perhaps by far the most captivating characters continued to shine in this season with their sibling feuds and relationships with stars Daniel Bryan and John Cena. This is definitely my favourite season. 

Favourite Diva

Trinity. I love this girl. She's the one with the most common sense. Whenever something goes down, she sees things for how they are and how pointless and nonsense the situation is. She's honest and tells it how it is without being rude and I love people like that. One moment I remember which shows this side of her is when Ariane showed everyone nudes of Eva. Eva was deeply affected by this when she found out and Trinity was the one to step up and tell Ariane that she was in the wrong and needed to apologise, even though Ariana couldn't see what she had done wrong at first. She's just the voice of reason and I imagine she would be a cool friend to have.

Least Favourite Diva

Rosa Mendes. She only joined Total Divas in Season 3 which is the current season, so we have not yet seen enough of her to know about her and her full backstory but she has no substance compared to the other Divas. She loves being naked, men and women, kissing other girls and a good time. She also had a problem with alcohol but beyond that I do not know much about her. I feel like out of all of the Divas, she is perhaps the one that I relate to the least. Saying that though I do not dislike her, she is just my least favourite.

Favourite Couple

Trinity and Jon have very similar personalities. They are feisty and pretty much say what's on their minds and together they make a funny combo. What I love about this couple is that you can see how much Jon loves Trinity despite some of the issues they have been through and how closed Trinity has been to Jon at times. They are both likeable and they make me laugh and anyone who makes me laugh is a winner to me. Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella are likely the most loved couple and I love them together, but this is the couple that does it for me.

Least Favourite Couple

Nikki Bella and John Cena. I think they are a sweet couple just like the rest of the Divas and their other halves and Nikki's love for John is very apparent. Vice Versa as well, but much of the season has been about the fact that John Cena doesn't want to get married or have children and this is everything that Nikki Bella wants for the future. There was some point in one of the seasons where Cena actually made a list for Bella when he asked her to move in with him that was basically a contract for if their relationship didn't work out. It had a set of rules such as she must leave immediately if things were to go wrong and she also couldn't add her personal touches to their home so it was like she was a guest in her own home. The whole marriage and kids thing is big as well because by Nikki Bella being with Cena she is putting a lot on hold and it is sad to see. I also feel like they are quite superficial in that it's the material things that keep them together but hey, that's just my view.

What I Have Learned From Total Divas

I have learned that the locations they film is always hot and sunny which justifies the skimpy clothes the Divas always where. Being in the UK it is hard to imagine being in a place where it is summer weather all year round. A pro and con in itself. I have also learned that these girls know how to keep a relationship together despite having a demanding schedule and always being on the road because the majority of the Divas are in long and longish term relationships and at the point where they are soon ready for marriage or married up. And that it would be fun to be a WWE Diva. I missed out on a good career path.
