Kathy Griffin jumped the shark. Her comments about gay parents and marriage went over the line. Gay parents love their children dearly and are responsible. Just because Kathy can’t find a man that would marry her doesn’t mean she can ruin it for others. She is no friend of gay people it’s just about the money.
I was the one whining about last week’s episode feeling totally contrived, and this one was a *million* times better. I was a bit put off by Kathy’s (and the on-screen captionings) constant reminders that India was a transexual. I mean, if she went through the trouble of getting the surgery, at least have the grace to refer to her as HER. Not him-her, he-she, she-who-used-to-be-he, etc. However, I know that Kathy loves her gays, and I assume India was okay with it, so I’ll let it slide :-/
Okay so I love Kathy as much as the next straight person (which is a lot!) but I have two beefs with her show:
1) The stuff with her mom Maggie is just not funny. It’s so pathetic. It’s like Kathy and Bravo are trying to MAKE Maggie a star of the show, when Kathy’s dad just was without trying. The old “mumu and a box of wine” joke is old.
2) I know the show’s on Bravo, but why does Kathy act like her only fans are gay? I’m in my 20s and live with four straight guys and we all watch and love her. It’s actually kind of offensive!! Kathy, you’re a professional–you’re not going to bomb if it’s straight people. We’re not that scary, ugh.
Hey, I was one of those lucky, straight Bora Bora Land Cruisers, and it was the trip of a lifetime! Kathy is funnier than hell, and she was incredibly friendly on the trip! And even though I experienced The Todd with the rest of the group, I still can’t figure him out. One of life’s mysteries that even the show couldn’t truly explain.
totally agree about the bathing suit. come on mrs. kathy your milky white skin deserves better… stick with a one piece.
The see-thru top was horrid. You’d think the camera guy would comment and she’d reshoot with a different outfit. And what is with her fizzed out 80s hair the last 2 episodes? It looks like a really bad perm gone wrong.
didn’t kathy wear that bathing suit on celebrity mole?
Without The Todd there would have been no show at all. It’s a good thing he has a sense of humor and is able to laugh at himself. I find it very interesting that most of the travelers had no problem gossiping about him but did not want to talk about themselves (what are you all hiding). I thought he was a really fun great guy.
