@philoclea: Her French is rusty! And her accent was incomprehensible. I think what she said, after Stephanie said yes she spoke French, was: 'C'est très bien. C'est necessaire pour toi parles avec moi dans le Français seulement.'
@rah29: I've never taken any French... but does that translate to something like "That's very good. It's necessary to be able to speak French something something?"
@dj_chick: Well, she meant to say 'That's very good. It is necessary for you to speak with me in French only.' But the grammar is a bit wrong. It didn't sound like she was using the infinitive to say 'to speak', so it translates as 'it is necessary for you speaking with me'. To speak 'in French' should also be 'en Francais' rather than 'dans le Francais'.
But I quibble, because I am a PhD student with nothing better to do (except work, which is clearly ridiculous!).
@rah29: I have totally just friended you because, lo, I am also a PhD student with nothing better to do.
I mean, shouldn't the sentence be something more along the lines of "Il faut que tu parles avec moi seulement en francais"? That sentence, as you transcribed it, seems completely unidiomatic.
How do you say, on a job interview, "I *do* speak this language, but you don't, and therefore I cannot comprehend your gibberish?"
@EleanorRigby: Yes, sadly, a beautiful blue one. It's OK -- we can distract her by texting and talking to her at the same time, liberate the poor thing, and share it, if you like.
@IrockIroll: Honestly...why does MTV still continue the charade that these are "normal people" whose handbag and shoe spending budget should be portrayed as "normal" and "accessible" to the teen target audience?? And in every scene they all have on full makeup and false eyelashes. It's ridiculous at this point, calling it "reality." They must sit in hair and makeup for just as long as actors on scripted tv shows.
It's deliciously awful how they toy with the idea that maybe they'll pretend it's real, now they aren't, but wait! It's real again. The Heider fight was brilliant.
Spency, it isn't a GPS you're outfitted with, it's 3 person crew following you around, and a producer setting up the event.
@prestocaro fears the Sexaual Peter: Wow, that Heidi/Spencer fight kind of dampened the load for me. It was like they weren't even trying to act, just reading straight from a cue card. You'd think MTV would make these people take acting classes
@Thistledew: And when Heidi dons her sleuthing cap and visits her, she acts like she doesn't remember being micd, a camera crew, whatever. No, she remembers him for the 'fight' that went down. Not the paycheck.
@BabyJane: It made me laugh because it seemed like Kelly knew it was fake, but wanted to point out to Stephanie how unprepared she was and how ridiculous her career aspirations are.
@AthertonMerriweather: YES! Kelly is always kind of rolling her eyes/seems put out that she must pretend it is real. Especially this scene, or in the City when she kept asking A-holette if she needed help with an ED.
.... My name is prestocaro and I have an addiction to awful faux-reality TV.
@prestocaro fears the Sexaual Peter: I couldn't tell what Kelly was saying. Is it that my French is rusty, or is it that her American accent renders it incomprehensible?
Okay, I don't know much about fashion school so somebody please tell me what the deal is with FIDM.
(I've always been under the impression that as long as you could afford it you could go/the admission process is less competitive than most design schools. But that could be totally wrong.)
I've been liking LC lately. She only has a few episodes left and it seems like she's actually being herself and doesn't give a f*ck what she says to anyone.
Either that or Bobby from My Boys has changed her for the better.
@AthertonMerriweather: I don't have a problem with LC, but I really just don't care for her clothes - the ones she wears and "designs." I just don't think she's very talented in fashion.
@EvilVaginaTroll: Ha! When someone asks you if you're a professional, it's probably time to stop wearing crotch-length skirts and hitting on business travelers.

Cutrone: Who the fuck?
MTV: It's that Spencer guy only different.
Cutrone: Wait, no.
MTV: We need you to do this.
Cutrone: Just let me interview her and we'll see what happens.
MTV: So she's in?
Cutrone: We'll see what happens.

Also, mild pedantry here, but Kelly's French isn't that good if she's asking Stephanie to 'parlez dans le Francais'!
