I got sucked into the frothiness - the music, fashion, houses, shots of London and the English countryside. The premise was eye-rollingly predictable: the English women were elegant, blasé, discreet, wise, and well-mannered (if somewhat mannered); the Americans were loud, brash, wide-eyed, grasping, clueless, and...did I mention loud? They needed etiquette intervention. They wore hats to a polo match and cheered. Loudly. But it was beyond the pale that Juliet was cast as the archetypal American. She has no filter and excuses immature behavior by claiming she speaks "her truth." Ugh. And when she belted the "Star Spangled Banner" at a party, I considered renouncing my citizenship.  I liked the two Brits the most (Caroline and Annabelle). I'm guessing smart-cookie Caroline saw the show as golden opportunity to widen her customer base. American Marissa was sweet, if a tad gushing. That pregnant American swimsuit model (Caprice?) with all the girl-drama? Yikes. What did y'all think? |

I liked everyone but Caprice and Annabelle. I will say though Annabelle told it like it was, in a nice way. I think Caroline was my favorite.

Was Caprice just a little too gushy during the ultrasound? She came across as very fake to me and I can't stand the way she spoke. The rest of the women were interesting!

As a woman married to a British man, it cracks me UP. I'm going to watch the finale tonight.
I about died when two of the American girls were taken to etiquette class. I was cringing when they were acting horribly at the formal dinner party.

You're right; her ultrasound seemed transcendental! They made a big deal about how famous she was, but I had never heard of her, so I read her Wikipedia page. Seems she's done a long string of reality shows. |

I loved how Noelle would move in and out of an English accent.

I enjoyed them all, except Caprice. She honestly made me want to throw something at the TV. She needs to get over herself!! Caroline was my favorite, a kind of cross between the uptight Brits and the crass Americans.

I love Caroline! Wouldn't want to be her 'friend' but love watching her. I'm very sarcastic and she does the British version of that.
The others I can take or leave. I don't really root for anyone except maybe Annabelle because, though pretty rude, she's been through so much. Her eyes look very haunted and sad to me, even when she's laughing and having fun.
I mostly watch for the English culture and scenery - the London shots and how about the English estate they visited?! Swoon!

I watched, Annabelle drove me NUTS and if she said the name Alexander one more time I think my eyes were going to roll out of my head. Caprice was a joke, LOVED Caroline and Marissa. Noelle just was ehhh and Juilet was funny to hear her when her Chi-town accent would come out. I dont' know what to make of Julie. If she has that title I am surprised she would be on the show but?  ? |
