Last night, in honor of the temporarily-departed Tracie "Slut Machine" Egan, I checked out the season premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. And I was kinda fascinated! The storyline was simple: Older sister Kourtney was suffering through a relationship blip with her boyfriend Scott, and her younger sisters, Kim and Khloe, were partly to blame. The two had gone through Scott's cellphone text messages looking for dirt, and, once they found it, were less than sympathetic to their older sister's conflicting emotions about her (maybe) cheating boyfriend. Khloe in particular, reminded me of the sort of underminer-y "best" friend who creates conflict and then tries to control the narrative once she's let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. By the end of the show, Scott and Kourtney had made up, but not before Khloe got a few words in edgewise. Clip above.
