I wanted to throw telephone books at the television the other day. You might find yourself asking why such a positive and uplifting person such as myself would be feeling compelled to act out such devious stunts. Well...I was watching MTV, and I think I may have found a reality TV personality more annoying than Lacey Conner. Impossible, you might think. Oh no. I'm quite sure of it.
I was enjoying an episode of Made, and in said episode, Alex (allergy ridden country clubber/politician's daughter) wants to be "made" into a skateboarder. Holly is appointed as Alex's coach, and I feel that I should add, Holly seems to be one of the nicest and most understanding Made coaches on the show. I mean, she didn't even make Alex do any embarrassing "assignments" like go visit 10 popular girls that you don't know at their houses and talk about life as an Emerald(that's a dance team featured on one such episode) or ask a boy that you've never talked to to be your swing dance partner for the big talent show. Holly simply asked Alex to complete tasks such as skate down a ramp or ya know, practice...
Though I had my issues with her, the annoying person was not young Alex...you have to pick your battles.... But was anybody else shocked when underage hottie Dylan agreed to be her boyfriend after only one "amazingly fun" romp at the skate park?
It was Alex's mother who was so exasperating! Alex would not cooperate with Holly, and like any coach, Holly would try to tell Alex to listen to her. Then Alex's mom would fly off the handle like a complete lunatic and say things like, "NOW I'M MAD, AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT...CUZ I'LL CUTYOU'RE HEAD OFF!!!" (<---That quote is not verbatim, but close.) Holly would just stand there, astonished (as was I) at the words coming out of Mama's mouth. Then the mom had a public freak out at the skate park (where Dylan could have easily been watching), and in turn, Holly walked off. So ole moms decided to take over the training, even though she'd never skateboarded a day in her life. Then she continuously belittled Holly's training methods, and came up with her own teaching style where she had Alex put duck take on her shoes and hit the ground with what I think was a lacross stick or something. Brilliant!
I still don't know how Holly kept her cool. I'm surprised she didn't start laughing in her face. And if I were Holly, I don't think I'd have agreed to come back and continue training Alex after that. I mean, Alex didn't even seem to want to be doing the skateboarding thing at all. Maybe she just carried on training Alex for MTV's hefty paycheck (this was filmed a while ago...before the economic disaster). Either way, I think Holly deserves some sort of trophy or medal or tiara for dealing with BOTH of these people. She has the patience of a saint. In fact, I think I'll start a petition.
