Thought it'd be nice to have a look back at probably the most exciting thing the girls have done in their careers 3 years on. It's crazy to think at this point they actually had a prime time slot on the same channel as the Karadashians.
Anyway here's episode 1
https://vimeo.com/58107326
Mollie dominated this episode and it looks like she was being pushed as the lead of the group. I thought it was very brave of Frankie to speak so openly about her personal problems and it was lovely to see how much Mollie was there for her.A nice opening that shows the unity of the group and their goals but much more of my favourite bits come later on in the series

Mollie and Rochelle babysitting baby Aoife and that scene where Frankie was making her own martini made me DIE *.*

Great initiative Paul!

I love their TV reality show. It's missing a bit of their british charm their ITV show had, but they are as lovable as ever.

I wish that vimeo had better quality videos of the show... sad.gif

Great idea Paul. I remember rewatching the first episode so many times lol. I had DVR'd the entire series and had it saved for a whole year, until it expired sad.gif

I remember reading reviews after the first episode and the critics were ranting and raving about Mollie. She truly is hard not to love.

I LOVED the series, ten episodes ain't enough!

The intro does make me laugh when Mollie is going on about shoulders being too sexy laugh.gif

I'd love to know what the reactions were by Americans when the first episode aired. Tbh they probably came across as really spoiled (the wardrobe scenes) and I don't think it was a particularly interesting episode to launch them. In fact, the whole series was crap. They spent, what, four or five months in America filming a reality show to launch their music careers and the only things that happened were Una and Rochelle's endless Skype chats with their husbands, Mollie going on a cheesy awkward scripted date with Calvin and endless talk of shopping and babies?

There were some very interesting moments (the Lease My Love and Not Giving Up recordings, the Roxy show, Vanessa's voice problems, behind the scenes for the TV promo they did for What About Us on Jay Leno and the acoustic session they did for Scooter Braun etc) but they never took advantage of that type of material. You're trying to launch them as a music group so why not focus on the music side of things?

24/7 was MUCH better.

The series was cute, and I really enjoyed it. However it really didn't know what it wanted to be. I think for E! The Saturdays lacked conflict within the group. Hence why they tried to make the OMG Rochelle is pregnant the manager hates her the drama.

Vanessa was hilarious in that episode! "Is anyone having sex on the fourth floor?" and her cackling on the phone when Rochelle says they're at it again and then yelling shut up while banging on the wall. Queen.

Episode 2 is one of my favourite episodes wub.gif

Vanessa "It would be nice to be grown up instead of pretend"
Mollie " Are they extras in the baseball game, we could be like Hi?" I'm DEAD at the looks all girls give to Mollie.
Vanessa: Whatever the weather my arse, it's hot as hell out here"
Una: "it's boiling hot, you can fry and egg on a car" laugh.gif ONLY UNA.
Vanessa: Hi everyone, is anyone having sex on the fourth floor, really loud sex"

The moment where Rochelle looks in disgust that Vanessa is crying and not rehearsing.

1. UnitedSatsOfAmerica (U.S Viewers - 914,000) (UK Viewers - 72.00)
2. SatsCriesAndVideotape (U.S Viewers - 600,000) (UK Viewers 62,00)

It actually got off to a decent enough start with almost 1 million viewers. I'm glad it outperformed The Wanted's reality show which is rather amusing considering The Wanted were a bigger american name, I wonder if Sats done promo during E! how the show would have done.

They all shaded Mollie so hard in that scene, I choked. Love the irony of the fact that they did end up rollerskating in the Disco Love video. The queen always gets her way in the end. She's just ahead of her time.

I wonder why the UK audiences were so up and down.

Although I won't lie that it was a bit sad that, at the end, the UK had more audiences than the US...

I think It's mostly because they moved it to some ridiculous time slot in the middle of the night about halfway through the season.
