Welcome back to Trashy Fridays! Today we will be covering NBC's Bad Judge and ABC's Selfie. Let's get to the trashiness!
Bad Judge
The judge's rival comes to visit, which doesn't make her happy because she keeps criticizing her left and right. This girl is suing a guy for $3 million for mooning her and causing her injuries. The judge thinks her case is a little ridiculous, but Wright continues the case because her rival is the defense attorney and she continues to criticize her. (Honestly if I were her I'd just let her have it.) Now the girl is testifying and she seems crazy. The rival proves that she didn't see the defendant's butt because it has a tattoo on it. Now crazy girl is mad and calls the judge the same names her rival did. (I'd be like f you, your case is dismissed!) The judge is trying to prove that her rival is wrong and she wasn't hired for her looks alone. (She is so pretty, smart, and has an amazing attitude! She shouldn't worry about anything anyone says.)
Rebecca decides to go to a Conan convention with her bailiff to ask Schwartzenegger why he hired her as a judge. It turns out he couldn't come, so she is very disappointed. Her bailiff says she shouldn't let people get her down and that she is amazing. The defendant's butt hurts because the tattoo is infected. (The idiot just got it for his defense.) Rebecca notices, and the rival still criticizes her. (So she threatens contempt.) Judge Wright decides to throw out the case because it's ridiculous. She leaves the guy to suffer with the tattoo and she charges her rival with contempt. (She seriously was so annoying!) Rebecca's boss says at the end that it doesn't matter how she got the job, it only matters what she does with it.
I really love this show! It's funny and Kate Walsh plays Rebecca perfectly.
Selfie
There are two new episodes of Selfie this week. For the first episode, Henry is excited that he was invited to the boss's place for a party. He thinks he is getting a promotion. He sees Eliza, and she again does the awkward "hi, how are you" greeting. Henry learns that Eliza was invited to the party too and this upsets him. Then Eliza shows Henry how she is the center of attention and she dances like a stripper. (So stupid...) Henry says that Eliza is his plus one, and this makes her mad for some reason. She goes on an annoying rant the whole way to the party. Once there, the boss confirms that she is a plus one. Eliza decides to play along as the plus one to help Henry get the promotion. Henry makes a script saying exactly what he will tell the boss in the morning. He thinks that he should do all of the talking in front of him so that he can impress him. This doesn't work and instead he bores everyone! When Eliza comes down, they think that she is fun and are willing to do whatever she does. Eliza tells Henry that he needs to lighten up so everyone can like him. He takes it way too far, though, and he skinny dips in a forbidden lake. He embarrasses himself and his chances to get the promotion are very bad. Henry blames Eliza for the incident and insists that he doesn't need her help anymore. (He actually said that she was better when she was on her phone. Henry is so mean!) The next day he makes a speech apologizing to everyone. It turns out that the boss enjoyed his goofy side and says that he is better with Eliza. Henry goes to find Eliza and then they are able to find service (since they couldn't while at the boss's house the whole weekend). When Eliza gets home she posts a photo of herself, a horse, and Henry on Instagram. The episode ends with Henry liking the photo.
For the second episode, Eliza is convinced that Henry needs a girlfriend because he is in a bad mood all of the time. With the help of Charmonique, they get a gift card for a coffee shop and try to introduce Henry to the cute new barista. When Henry finally takes her up on the offer, he blows the meeting. The cute barista offers him a cookie and he rejects it. (Who rejects a free cookie?!) Next, Charmonique and Eliza try to get him a dating profile. So during lunch Eliza asks him weird dating profile questions. The boss's wife gets mad at him for being mean to their son-in-law. Apparently, he wants to be treated as an equal because the boss refuses to sing about him in the morning. (Oh, boo hoo...) When the boss finds out about Eliza and Charmonique's plan, he decides to get on board. (It was funny because Eliza said "you go home to your wife, Henry goes home to a salad." The boss replies, "you can't make love to a salad.") When the boss tries to make peace with his son-in-law, he has an epiphany. He realizes that his son-in-law is perfect for a customer service job and gives him a promotion. Some guy who was talking to Henry tries to convince him that Eliza is into him. (Um, no...) Charmonique and Eliza set up a date night for Henry. She is convinced that Eliza needs to teach Henry how to talk to women. (Because he screws it up all of the time.) When she goes to his house and shows him, it makes it look like she is flirting with him. So Henry is very confused now. Today is date night. As Henry goes to the meeting place, he is disappointed to see that all of the girls look like Charmonique and Eliza. He insists that he doesn't need help finding a girl and he doesn't believe in casual sex for happiness. Eliza feels bad and wants to apologize to Henry. But she notices that he is talking a girl who is just like him and he decides to hang out with her for awhile. Eliza feels proud of herself as Henry drives away with his date.
Selfie is still a ridiculous show and it's just so much fun to trash on, to be honest. I find that Henry and Eliza's relationship is weird. They both do bad things to each other and then end up apologizing later for those actions. It always has the same plot line, really.
