caught one of the shows and it cracked me up. This guy is on the way to sainthood putting up with her and his “5 year plan” to break the spoiledness.

but seriously… did he not know what he was getting into? I doubt she was an intelligent, indepedent woman before they were married.

My friends and I should have a drinking party during the next episode. Take a drink of you Danzka cosmo every time she says something stupid.

Again I must say I feel a little sorry for Jessica. Yea, she’s pretty stupid (I got a platamupus!), but she’s very sweet and nice and look-- she learned how to iron! Maybe Nick’s five year plan will work.
