    I love that she's been dubbed "classy dancer lady" on here. I miss her, but I won't complain about Summer either!

    Doing well ratings wise.
    Total Divas audience

    Total Divas was up 14% from last week's debut on E! doing 1.53 million viewers. The Kardashians lead-in was essentally the same as the week before, so a combination of the first show and the airing on Raw exposing more of the wrestling audience to the show led to a healthy increase.

    Naomi is wonderfully sassy. "All my cookies are hanging out!"
    hopefully Jimmy Uso won't get caught with his hand in the cookie jar

    JoJo has never looked more like a twelve year old than in the ring.



    Also featuring a grumpy Sara Del Rey.

    Just thinking about something at the beginning of the first episode. When Nattie was talking about her family, she mentioned Jim Neidhart and Bret Hart, but I was a little sad that she didn't mention Owen. Has his wife Martha asked WWE never to mention Owen again? Surely she wouldn't mind Nattie talking about her uncle?

    Well maybe it's better this way, otherwise WWE might have milked it for a big emotional moment.

    LOL OMG
    Im watching Total Divas EP1 and the Bellas just called themselves "Veterans". . . .Really Like?

    Not much happened on this weeks episode,Bryan and Cena continue to come across as sound lads though.

    That little Jojo one is annoying as fúck,even her facial expressions are crap.

    Im startin to think that abt some of the Divas BF''s aswell


  • Registered Users Posts: 468 ✭✭bobby_says_hi


    From what I see of her training, JoJo seems quite athletic and is grasping the basics nicely. I look forward to seeing her properly wrestle in the future. I'm shocked to see Eva Marie actually training. She seems more like a potential manager/valet/character than an actual wrestler. But I suppose we'll have to see


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Obviously have seen her on the show but as well I heard people say Jo Jo was in another league from AJ Lee in the teeny tiny stakes.

    Here she is at the Summerslam press conference. Someone on Twitter was joking that she was thanking everyone for attending her confirmation here:

    Justin Gabriel is slipping it into JoJo, they dont be long pouncing on any fresh meat. She looks more like Lawlers target age group to be honest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 388 ✭✭sockmo


    Ok so I was sceptical about this show but watched the 3 episodes last night....its not so bad really....still your typical ****e "reality" show...if it wasnt WWE related I certainly wouldnt watch it.

    Best part was the mixed tag match with the fucnkadactlys and the usos after all that crap had happenned, remember seeing this not knowing naomi(or cameron) and jimmyo(r was is jey?) were going out.and not knowing what the stare down was about!

    Cool little sneak peek at what life is like in WWE, Cena and bryan come across as top lads...fandango seems like a bit of an ass in real life! stephanie mcmahon is terrifying.

    ratings keep going up.

    up another 150k viewers this week.

    1.67m people now watch it weekly.

    wow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 829 ✭✭✭smellmepower


    WWE must be delighted with those numbers,expected to hate it myself but find it harmless enough watching.

    Wonder how it compares ratings wise with all those other garbage shows on E like them Kardashian ladies?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    E! has picked up six additional episodes of its popular new series "Total Divas" to air in November.

    http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/08/14/e-orders-six-additional-episodes-of-total-divas/197476/?utm_campaign=WP%20%3E%20Twitter&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter

    Class quote from the press release given how wrought with tension and drama Sunday's episode was with pretty much everyone coming across as horrible:
    "Our audience has embraced 'Total Divas' in a big way and we're excited to build on the show's tremendous momentum with six additional episodes," said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Program Development. "For many women, WWE Divas possess aspirational personalities because of their glamorous lifestyles and international stardom, but it's their genuine and dynamic personal lives that have truly captivated so many viewers."

    Well Nattie wasn't telling the truth about how she would look in that lingerie so what's to say she told the truth about Kidd? :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,842 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Just finished Summerslam, now for this (what better way for me to prepare for a job interview tomorrow ha)



    edit: not enough Bryan & Cena this ep imo


  • Registered Users Posts: 468 ✭✭bobby_says_hi


    This episode features:
    *Girls shopping for lingerie and modelling it for each other
    *Numerous close-ups of boobs
    *A cosmetic surgery patient flashing her new boobs and getting a guy to feel them
    *A girl imitating the Baywatch run
    *Girls trying on silicone implants
    *Girls climbing all over each other

    Quoting Friends: "Are we in Joey's imagination?"

    But this episode was probably the best yet. The bits with Cameron's implants were hysterical. I actually felt sorry for Nikki but by the end of the episode she was back to needing a desperate punch in the face. Either she's a complete cow or she's the master of kayfabe


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 829 ✭✭✭smellmepower


    Best bit was Sandow completely blanking the crazy Funkadactyl when she tried to dance all over him backstage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭A Primal Nut


    Best part of the series so far was Trinity (Naomi) hitting her boyfriend Jimmy Uso with a hurricanrana (while they were having a match) and Jimmy saying (out-of-character, as part of Total Divas) "What did you do that for?." I think some Total Divas writer came up with that as a joke to show how fake the show is. She could have just slapped him, or even a dropkick, but instead they decided on the one move that more than any other, requires the other guy's participation. Then, we're supposed to believe he's pissed off. It was a real "what the hell" moment!! Didn't think they would be so blatant about it being scripted.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,402 ✭✭✭Tinie


    Any reason why AJ isnt on this considering shes probably the top diva at the moment? Found the last couple episodes a bit boring and zoned out during them.

    Was wondering about that. Then again all the divas on the show come across sort of like how they come across on WWE when they are in character. A.J. is probably too different to her onscreen character and trying to make her behave like her character on Total Divas would come across badly I'd imagine.

    Just a guess.....


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Ah here in Youtube form:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭A Primal Nut


    Everytime they show a men's wrestling segment, it involves Bryan and The Shield.

    Fairly boring this week,thought Roman Reigns came across very awkward when he was talking to Orton's little bird and Eva.Cena was bang on again,as usual.

    Natalya (and her annoying voice) were featured too much as well.

    I'd always assumed Justin Gabriel was gay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 468 ✭✭bobby_says_hi


    He dated Kelly Kelly for years so there goes that idea. This episode showed that the women of WWE are filthy filthy perverts. I was surprised that Brie was the drunken mess - you'd expect Nikki to be like that. However she could hold her drink while Brie seemed like a total lightweight. It seems Eva Marie isn't the walking disaster Episode 2 made her out to be. She seems remarkably more sensible in these last few episodes. Had to lol at Sheamus's face getting blurred out backstage


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,543 ✭✭✭Mick Murdock


    Man, I love this show!! Just finished catching up on the six eps..

    Most of them seem quite cool. The more the show goes on the more I like The Bellas - not what I expected after watching the first episode. I think they're some of my favs now.. Bryan/Cena come across well.

    Vincent and the fella who's supposed to love Nattie are such tits! JoJo's boyfriend and Arienne aren't much better.

    Tyson Kidd stands out as having zero personality - think theyre trying to portray him that way, but still, everything from his hair to his clothes are awful..

    Great show, I'm addicted.

    I felt uncomfortable watching that. I'd say that was one of the worst episodes so far!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭Adiboo


    So does anyone know the story about Sheamus being blurred? And he waved off the camera as if to say "don't film me".

    Probably didn't sign a release form. Matt Striker was a blurred face too.

    It was the apparent waving away of the camera I found more odd.

    Reading a review of it I was pretty confused by who Jarrett was, at first I thought it was Double-J and I was wondering what the hell he was doing there!

  • Registered Users Posts: 468 ✭✭bobby_says_hi


    Kaitlyn said in an interview that she avoids the cameras filming her by throwing up gang signs or something they have to blur. Sheamus waving away the camera was probably his signal to blur his face, though if they wanted to hide his identity they'd have to colour-correct his skin.

    Strange, the show is produced by his employers, didn't think they would need a release form.

    I guess he's entitled to privacy but in WWE arena?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,842 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Always have to remember this is a "Reality show" which means that it's 95% staged and not real and in the same way that when I heard Miz on Colt Cabana's podcast recently people were talking about him as Mike and not Miz at times and actually coming across as likeable until he turned on his "Persona" these ladies probably aren't actually like they allow themselves be portrayed. Therefore even I will take this with a massive pinch of salt because I know that what im writing is based primarily on portrayals of potential personalities.

    Speaking of peronalities Eva Marie is damn lucky she is so hot because I really dont think she has one. This episode was also edited in a way to make her look really odd. She kept saying in the interviews to the camera that she was weary of Gabriel / advising Jojo against him but at no point did this get shown in the actual show (except maybe after he was with another girl buteven then what was shown was nothing more than him talking to someone) in fact she got shown eggin her on at the start.

    Brie mode - um she got drunk, it's not like she was Frank The Tank or anything extreme, though Bryan again came out of it looking good as a result.

    Arianne (sp?) and her boyfriend both seem like dumb numpties (nice way of insulting them) but with them and her in particular given her Tough Enough debut I dont really think it is a character although I wouldnt be shocked if some Total Divas exec is getting her to play it up without her even knowing by telling her how great her catchphrases like "the bombdotcom" and the like are.

    O and one think that has been really bothering me, ok I know it gets Nattie more air time something she has truely been lacking in the WWE and airtime on total divas could equal more time on Raw etc but why in gods name is Tyson Kidd ok with how he is being portrayed on the show. Another showing very little personality where one ep is about him not having a great sex-life with Nattie another where he seems whipped by his mom and he is constantly being refered to as not romancing his woman enough the same woman who is openly enjoying the attension of another man on the show. Unless it's building to something he is just flat out being shown in a terrible light and def not one that would help his persona as a wrestler when he ever returns from injury.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 829 ✭✭✭smellmepower


    Doubt Tyson Kidd has any say in how he's portrayed,so he probably has to be okay with it for the sake of his job.

    He's never shown much personality on WWE TV before anyway, so him showing none on this show isn't much of a surprise really.
