Flat out. The show sucks.
If it weren't for their tv-producer father, who had a hand in getting this show to begin with, it never would have been aired. Darcey and Stacey are pathetic, desperate, middle aged women trying to be like their teenage kids. I'd personally be terrifically EMBARRASSED if one of them was MY mother! We've seen Darcey bring home 3 (YES, THREE so far) different foreign men, HALF her age, only to fall madly in love with each (after 3 dates), -only to be left dumped and ugly crying. She's always quick to talk about their "future wedding", or maybe "getting a ring", and then later in confessional scenes, she's constantly reassuring herself of her worthiness. She clearly doesn't get that she scares men away, and that that's the *REAL reason they always run. There are a few statements she's got down perfectly, and you can count on hearing with ANY guy she hooks up with- ... "I'm strong", "I'm beautiful", "I'm deserving" and "I've waited a long time for my prince", and "doggone I'm a good person." (Later, always followed by, " You NEVER loved me, you liar").
- And then there are the ugly cries that follow; and you can *always count on them to come, and yes, they are extremely u g l y . You can always tell when they've just had her newest injections of Botox, too. Her and Stacey lips are so swollen, they look like they were attacked by a bees nest, and when they turn a certain way, you can see where their face lifts end. It's really pathetic that they are so painfully insecure. What a terrible example that sets for impressionable teenage daughters. It's so "surface" and sad, because here they are always talking about how "worthy" they are (and really, aren't we all?), but they clearly only equate worthiness by appearances only. Their fear of aging is so transparent. The sisters's both dress disgustingly inappropriately, with their fake boobs all but popping out of their tops that are ten sizes too small for them, to their heels that are so high, they'd make make a stripper look like a nun (not to mention how funny they look when walking in them!). While they love each other fiercely, Darcey cannot *stand to NOT have what Stacey has (*they're supposed to be grown ups, -right? Darcey and Stacey are just flat out AWKWARD and cringey. I find it hard to believe they even get these young guys... then again... that green card is quite a powerful enticer for these men. And these men are THIRSTY.
Overall, I thought this would be another "guilty pleasure" like 90 Day Fiancé, -but nope, it's just "The Fake Lives of Two Desperate Sisters".
Nothing about it is real, *literally, nothing.
