My Unfair Brady

My Fair BradyI have not been following My Fair Brady: We’re Getting Married on VH1. The reality show stars America’s Next Top Model‘s first winner, Adrianne Curry, and the man who will forever be referred to as “Peter Brady”, Christopher Knight.

I will admit that I followed their romance through its beginning stages on The Surreal Life 4 and then through the first season of My Fair Brady. I watched Curry struggle to convince Knight to marry her and his bittersweet proposal.

Now that they are officially engaged and continuing to whore themselves on reality TV, I can’t help but feel somewhat sickened by it all. It is sometimes painful to watch, hence the reason why I haven’t been watching regularly.

This season has so far shown the couple clashing over many issues, such as whether or not Knight, 48, should get a vasectomy (Curry, 23, was strongly against it).

Many of their friends and family - including Knight’s sister, who disapproves of Curry’s nude modeling, and former Surreal Life roommate, Chyna Doll - think that the couple are making a mistake jumping into marriage. I suppose VH1 would like us to view them as a pair of star-crossed lovers, the likes of Romeo and Juliet (minus the suicides), but I’m having trouble finding any redeeming qualities to their relationship.

The episode in which they go to couples therapy was sickening. It was the first time that I saw Curry as the mature member of the relationship, which at half Knight’s age is kind of sad. When their counselor, Dr. Pam, suggested perhaps that he is at the root of their communication issues, he turned into “my fair baby”. It has been quite a while since I watched a grown man pout. Apparently, no one has ever told Knight that he was wrong - about anything - ever in his entire life. Or at least that’s what he’d like you to believe.

First he was ready to pack it all up and go home without finishing the therapy session; later he spiraled downward into a guilt-induced depression. Anyone who ever doubted Knight’s acting abilities while on The Brady Bunch can see that he certainly can act. It takes quite a skilled actor to turn the tables around and get Curry comforting and feeling sorry for him! You don’t listen to your fiance and you condescend to her… poor poor you!

I supposed stuff like this makes for good television, but I can’t imagine it will make a good marriage. Unfortunately there will be none of the “will they or won’t they” suspense from last episode. Knight and Curry were married on May 29;  the wedding episode will air Sunday, July 23.
