I have to say, I originally was not going to watch this show. I am not from the south and I cannot connect with this concept. However, knowing that most of my shows are ending or going into spring finales, I need something to fill my DVR and my blog. Let's begin, shall we?
I have to say this show is a raunchier version of the movie Hope Floats. Have you ever seen it? Sandra Bullock and her daughter move back home to the south after she finds out that her husband is cheating on her and divorcing her. She tries to find her way, living with her mother again and falling in love with town cowboy. Swoon. This was an amazing movie. GCB is like this, but with more lies, cattiness and flashiness. Read on...
GCB (Good Christian Bitches/Belles) is about Amanda Vaughn, played by Leslie Bibb (Popular, The Skulls, Shopaholic) Her husband ran a ponzi scheme in California, took all of the money and his new girlfriend (her old bestie) to run off. She was giving him oral in the car and they crashed and both died. Amanda's house goes into foreclosure and she loses everything, so her and her two kids pack it up to move back to Dallas, Texas with her mother, Annie Potts (Designing women). Her mother is all about the flash and glitter and wants her to readjust to her lifestyle here.
The girls she went to high school with are all but less than pleased to have the school mean girl back in their midst. Carlene "Kitten" (Kristen Cheowerth, Wicked) hates her the most. She lives across the street and is always wearing her Loubs and looking out her telescope. She had some major plastic work done on her and looks completely different. Amanda had her kicked off the cheerleading team for bad skin, Sharon (who was super skinny, now fat) Amanda told everyone she wasn't a virgin and ruined her chance of Miss Teen Dallas, Amanda stole her now dead husband from Cricket by telling everyone she had herpes and finally Heather, who was the lonely poor girl now sells million dollar homes and is the only big name in real estate.
Her mother wants her back into society, so she tells her they need to go to church. Carlene makes sure to call her out at church. While at church she runs into all the men who used to fawn all over her. Cricket's husband Blake was her bestie, Sharon's husband Zack, is in love with her and so are his kids and the rest of the men just love her. She even gets a Mercedes delivered to her house from a secret admirer. She wants none of this attention, so asks to have it sent back. She even gets $98K worth of clothes from Neimans delivered to her house (Neiman's HQ is in Texas) and she has it returned, all left on a gift card for her to spend.
She tries to get a job, but nobody will hire her because the girls have everyone in the town helping them. She even wants to move out after her mother tries to get her daughter with big hair and big boobs and making her son mix cocktails. She goes to Heather, but she shows her the crappiest houses. She does her own online search and finds good ones and confronts Heather. She tells Heather she is sorry and she has changed, she takes light to her and wants to be friends. The other girls not so much.
Amanda goes to the car dealership to see who bought the car and Sharon's husband tries to make out with her. Carlene sees this and thinks Amanda is evil. Amanda gets a job being a waitress at boobyliscious. She meets Blake for drinks and notices that he is rubbing legs with his ranch hand and that he is gay.
The girls come over with a fake welcome basket for her in order to get more info. They steal the Neiman's card and try to go to the store to see who bought it. The guy asks for ID and Sharon runs out, but the security camera gets it all. Amanda learns of this. She finds out from her mother that she was the one who sent her the car and the clothes. Amanda decides to go to the Longhorn ball with an outfit sent by Blake.
When she is there, none of them are too happy. A photo of her in her waitress outfit gets out and Carlene makes it a point to tell her she needs to set a better example. Amanda runs out of the dance but goes to church the next day. She says a prayer out loud and realizes her check is from the Kitten Corp, which owns the titty bar and she publicly thanks god for her new job as a waitress and thanks Carlene who owns the company. Right back in her place.
I still do not love this show, but its something light and airy to fill a time slot for me. What did you think of the premiere? Will you be watching on Sunday nights?
