Highs and Lows: WAGS - Season 1 - Episode 7!


Read the previous Highs and Lows of WAGS here! http://natalyaon.blogspot.com/2015/09/highs-and-lows-wags-season-1-episode-6.html

Highs

Barbie's Bachelorette Party

A large focus of this episode was spent on Barbie's Bachelorette party in Miami. She invited two of her best friends as well as some the WAGS, although Ashley, Autumn and Sasha couldn't make it for various reasons. This Bachelorette Party consisted of attending male strip club (in which Nicole wouldn't attend because her boyfriend Larry didn't approve), and a night club (which Nicole ended making out with fellow WAG cast member Olivia because of one too may shots). All in all it looked like a bunch of fun, as their girl trips always seem to be.

Autumn/Sasha's kids Photoshoot

Autumn didn't attend Barbie's Bachelorette Party in favour of a kids photoshoot she had to do for her baby clothing line along with Sasha and Ashley. They had their kids model the clothing and it was all sorts of cute as children are (or at least can be).

Lows

Olivia Pearson Gets Stood Up on Date with Shawn Merriman, then Gets Ignored By Him At The SB's.

Olivia had a date with football player Shawn Merriman who she met at Natalie Halcro's Instagram party, but Olivia ended up sitting at the bar alone as Shawn stood her up. Naturally Olivia was upset about this and furthermore, Shawn blanked her at a SB party Nicole invited her and Natalie to. Not cool.

Nicole Asks Larry's Permission to go to Male Stripclub

In a previous episode, Nicole had revealed to the girls that she can't decide anything for herself and likes to ask her boyfriend Larry's opinion on everything. This week, we discovered that Nicole likes to ask Larry's permission to do certain things. When Barbie brought up the plan to the girls of going to a male strip club, Nicole told Barbie that she wanted to ask Larry if that was okay. She felt like it would be disrespectful not to do so, although the likes of Barbie and Natalie found this outrageous. On one hand, I can understand Nicole's point of view. After all, it is a male strip club and a partner may be uncomfortable with the thought of their other half going to something like that, where there are half naked/almost fully naked men prancing about waving their privates about. Larry responded to Nicole through text, telling her that she 'absolutely could not' go to the strip club, so she stayed in the car while the other girls had fun inside. I think if she debated with Larry a bit, explaining the situation then he may have been more comfortable of the idea, but she was perhaps a little too submissive.

Olivia Feels Left Out as the Girls all FaceTime their boyfriends

Olivia got a little upset after the girls (Natalie, Nicole and Barbie) took turns in Facetiming their other halves and talking about their partners. As Olivia was the only single lady around the table, she felt a little isolated as she dislikes being single and wants a man in her life. I feel for her.

New Highs and Lows! WAGS - Season 1 - Episode 5!

WAGS is a brand new show, which debuted on the E! channel on August 18th of this year. This show follows the glamorous lives of sports stars' wives and girlfriends, giving us ordinaries a little insight into just what it takes to be a WAG. Four episodes in and a lot of drama and cattiness has already taken place! Now is the time for some Highs and Lows (a review of the best and worst bits) of this HOT series!

I already do a Highs and Lows blog of another E! owned series called Total Divas, following the lives of WWE Divas. Be sure to check that out. Here is the last Highs and Lows of Total Divas! http://natalyaon.blogspot.com/2015/09/highs-and-lows-total-divas-season-4_13.html

Highs

Natalie Halcro's Boyfriend Shaun Philips Takes Her, Family and Friends On a Trip To Mexico For Her Birthday

Need I say more? Her boyfriend Shaun paid for her family to fly out to Mexico, taking care of their accommodation and activities while on their trip. Now that's what I call generosity (and having a lot of money).

Barbie Blank looks for Wedding Venues in Mexico

During Lunch, Barbie informed Ashley and Nicole that she planned to get married on the beach. While out in Mexico, Barbie saw this as a perfect opportunity to search for wedding venues. Fellow WAG Autumn Ajirotutu came along and the resort they came across looked like something out of a postcard. Jealous is me.

Barbie Blank Doesn't Have Pierced Ears

I don't know why this was so shocking to me when she revealed to Natalie, Olivia and their family that she hasn't had her ears pierced. I guess I just assumed that all girls got their ears pierced at some point.

Seyi and Autumn Ajirotutu's Romantic Walk On The Beach

Autumn reunited with her husband Seyi Ajirotutu after the girls' trip to Mexico with a
romantic stroll on the beach between the two. To sum up, he told her that she was the rock keeping their family together and it was all very sweet. Especially after the difficult time Autumn had in Mexico with the mini dispute between her and Natalie's boyfriend Shaun.

Barbie Blank Discusses Wedding Plans after Ashley North reveals her Wedding Has Been Postponed

During Lunch with WAGS Barbie Blank and Nicole Williams, Ashley revealed to the girls that her fiancĂ© had postponed the wedding. Barbie then preceded to talk of her wedding plans much to the annoyance of Ashley. It didn't stop there, as Barbie expressed her desires to search for wedding venues whilst hanging out with Autumn and Ashley and then once again with Natalie and Olivia's family in Ashley's presence. I imagine the last thing Ashley wanted to hear was the one thing she wished to be doing.

Autumn Ajirotutu Makes No/Little Effort With Natalie and Olivia or Their Family

While in Mexico, Autumn seemed to spend much of her time with Ashley, who was the only reason she decided to go on the trip in the first place. When she did spend time with everyone, she seemed glued to her phone, not making too much of an effort to speak to Natalie, Olivia or their family. It is beyond obvious that if it wasn't for the show then these girls would not be seen hanging out with one another.

Autumn Gets Offended by Shaun Philips Comments

Autumn and Natalie's boyfriend clashed when during a discussion of religion, Shaun Philips made a joke about being Jesus Christ repeatedly. This didn't bode well with Autumn, who believed he shouldn't joke about Jesus Christ and while she may have either been wrong or right about her views, she would have done better to just brush it off, rather than taking offence.


Thank you for taking the time to read! Keep looking back for the next Highs and Lows of WAGS!

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.
