Driven to Distraction

I have dreams and goals and stuff to do around the house. These are the things this week that kept me from getting to any of it.

Hey Paula: Episode 6

July 26, 2007

Two major storylines unfold in episode 6 of “Hey Paula” and they move me in two totally different ways: One involves Paula’s ongoing struggle with neck and back pain. This story makes me truly feel for her, more than I have this whole series. The other follows the interior decoration of Paula’s temporary rental home. This storyline makes me want to kill her with my bare hands.

She takes two steps forward. I take two steps back...

Early on, we learn that Paula’s having some renovations done to her house -- why, I don’t know because, as I’ve stated before, Paula’s is my favorite reality show house ever. Daniel, her makeup guy and best friend, is put in charge of working with the interior decorators. “I want you to help pick everything out,” Paula tells him. After she walks away, Daniel looks in to the camera and jokingly says, “Help!” He has no idea how prescient he’s being here.

Paula’s supposed to meet with Daniel and the decorator, Debra, at the rental house to go over ideas but she’s off at an Oscar gifting suite with some girlfriends. There are a lot of phone calls back and forth and exchanges like this one:

Debra: She’ll be here soon, right?
Daniel: (Shifty-eyed) Uh-huh.

Paula never shows, of course, and Daniel reveals his inner truth: “I knew she wasn’t going to come.”

When Paula watches these episodes (and you know she does), do you think she looks at it and thinks:

1) "They are editing this to make me look like such a bitch. That is totally unfair!"

OR

2) "Look, I'm on TV!"
