FOOTBALLER'S WIVES is the mutha-freakin' show!! Last night there was a vintage Dynasty-style fight between Eva (Joan Collins' character) and Tanya (on the left, Tanya is supposed to be about 1/2 Eva's age). Eva kicked Tanya's ass!
Here's the backstory:
-Eva has a hot lover named Paolo who is about 1/4 of her age. Paolo is a soccer phenom who has been picked up by the team that Tanya part owns.
-Paolo meets Tanya on the plane. He's attracted to Tanya. Tanya is attracted to him.
-Eva ain't havin' it and tries to spoil it at every turn. Turns out Eva has some really wierd hold over Paolo. When she finds Tanya and Paolo doing the nasty - she does some wierd mental ish on Paolo in front of Tanya.
- Tanya does some investigative research and finds that Paolo is actually Eva's adopted son.
- When she confronts Eva, Paolo overhears and decides that he wants his freedom so he tells Eva he's leaving her.
- Eva goes ape and knocks Paolo out with a garden tool. She then proceeds to strangle Tanya within an inch of her life.
- Paolo comes to, pulls Eva off of Tanya and Paolo and Tanya leave together.
- Cut to the end of the show and it turns out that Paolo is not Eva's only lover/son.
That's just one story...don't even get me started on the team captain, his wife and her female lover. Or the woman who went crazy while trying to drive her husband's murderer crazy. Or the mother who faked terminal cancer to keep her son from moving in with some girl (didn't work - he moved in with her...now the mom is faking a trip to Lourdes to get "healed" while in truth she's going on vacation to Malaga).
This ish is old school drama. The kind of stuff that you watch with your mouth open.
What makes it even better is the undercurrent of supremely tacky that runs through this show. Bad weaves, way way way too long Lee Press On Nails and a confusing amount of bedazzled garments coupled with some really bad acting by Phina Oruche...it's so much fun.
