Welcome back to another edition of Trashy Fridays! This week we will be covering WeTV’s Match Made in Heaven and MTV’s Eye Candy. Let’s get to the trashiness!
Match Made in Heaven
So we found this show while randomly searching for trashy shows. This is basically The Bachelor with the church involved. When Alyssa mentioned it to me, I knew that it belonged in this series and I had to give it a shot.
Basically, the show involves 24 year old Shawn Bullard, who is the bachelor, and Pastor Johnson. The pastor puts a house together filled with 24 women to find the love of Shawn’s life. Shawn apparently is looking to settle down and find a wife. (Because he is done just having fun... haha) In the previews, there seems to be a lot of tension to come in future episodes in the house between the ladies and Shawn’s mom. (She’s there to defend him to the end.)
So Pastor J introduces himself to the women and already announces that Shawn is rich. (Like, really..? Really..?)
Haha, so the girls are getting introduced, and Nes is like "I’ve only been with women..." Like, this should be great… OMG these girls have no shame and this is not a Christian dating thing… Like, not even close. The girls are also deciding who they seem to hate in the house, which didn’t take that long.
The next day everyone gets all dolled up to meet Shawn. We learn that he has a successful real estate business and his mom just tells her opinion and has no filter. (I like mom.) The general consensus from everyone about Shawn is that he’s hot and they will all sleep with him. (Wow...) Shawn gets to meet all of the girls and he gets his first impression. Some of the girls do poorly, like Dolly, who kept mentioning her uterus and STDs. (Not cute, girl.) Everyone thinks Kindle was a stripper, because she is flexible… These girls are crazy. So the girls make fun of her and Kindle gets her feelings hurt. (OMG, so dumb!!) For the next day, Kindle threatens to leave and the girls continue to make fun of her stripping moves. (So annoying.) Kindle ends up leaving and Pastor J counsels the girls in his office. (To make sure they get out their feelings.) Then Pastor J meets with Shawn and they discuss who is going home.
Shawn has to send 4 home and the pastor saves one of them. They basically get text messages to see if they stay or not. The message will say "please stay" or "let's meet by the pool for a chat" or the preacher’s choice or "we aren’t a match, sorry"... Those who got the sorry we aren’t matches text went home immediately. The girls he has to meet by the pool, will chat with him and he will send home two of them.
Shawn sent home Lucy, Rosemery, Kimberly, and Angelica.
This show reminds me of The Bachelor mixed in with I Wanna Marry Harry, with a pastor. It is very trashy and it was entertaining enough.
Eye Candy
We start out with party bus and YOLO. (Haha, that’s fun.) Somehow the bus gets trapped on a construction site with the stoner kid left there, bloody, without his friends.
Lindy stares at her sister’s bracelet for a really, really long time. (Perhaps to look for answers.) She tries to go to the police but they are busy finding the idiotic party bus kids, so she doesn’t show the bracelet just yet. Lindy uses her hacking skills to help find these kids and make the cops’ lives easier.
The police think that the stoner kid is the prime suspect in the incident. The head police officer wants Lindy to work on the case and interrogate the suspect. After Lindy talks to the weird kid and gives him his phone back (spyware included), we find out his friend Amy is dead. (Like really creepy looking, good job makeup people!) The police find her body with a camera from the bus attached to her wrist.
After Tommy accuses the kid, the police are convinced that Lindy can help because she has made a connection with Max (stoner kid) and her hacking skills are helping them out a lot. They keep showing supernatural kind of things that are happening on the bus, which is really weird. As they investigate, they find a video of a masked guy (like from the Scream series) attacking Amy. (Apparently it was believed that some ghost came after them?) They figure out the kids on the bus were looking for the Stowaway, a legendary odd kid out stalker/ghost/thing. (Honestly it is a bad idea.)
After more investigating, the cops find the kids on an abandoned boat. Lindy, with her hacking skills, finds out that Amy and Max created the Stowaway story while they were in rehab and they passed the legend on to their friends. These kids tried to make the scare a viral hit, but the one death was accident. Max blames himself for the death (the scare was his idea I guess…) and he attempts suicide by locking himself in a room on the boat and turning on the gas. Tommy and Lindy try to save Max’s life. (It works!)
In the end, Lindy does a slow run (that looks ridiculous, and not much emotion again) for Tommy, and Tommy asks a fortune teller where Lindy’s sister is. (The woman says she is alive.)
Well this was good, but I like to deal with the stalker more than Lindy’s involvement in the Cyber Crimes Unit. The acting is the same, but this show is still good!
