Today's Blind Items - Quiet Destruction
In the decade of writing this site, I think I may have mentioned these two celebrities once or twice. Maybe. They have definitely never been a blind. Everyone on the outside looking in thinks they are super nice and fun and a joy. Nope. It is the complete opposite. It is one of those times that what you see on television is nothing like reality. That mild mannered pleasant thing they shoot for on television is just a show. In reality, they are money driven, do anything to get ahead and will ruin you if you cross them. They use their television power to make deals which are rarely fair to the other party and when they are called out on it, they do their best to ruin the other person. Here is how their little game works. They hear about a deal or someone comes to them with a deal. They lowball and lowball. If they get the deal, great. If they don't get the deal, they wait. They bide their time until the person tries to make another deal and they strike. The two celebrities come in and drive everyone else out. When the others are gone, our celebrities then bail out leaving the person with nothing except a bunch of fees and the knowledge if they try to do it again, the celebrities will be there once again. Invariably, the person comes back to the celebrities who then cut a deal even worse than their first offer. They have done this countless times but everyone is too scared to stand up to their bullying tactics.
Duck Dynasty Robertsons?
ReplyDeleteThe HGTV couple-Deena Murphy/Timothy Sullivan?
ReplyDeleteShow is(or was) Love it or List it I think
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking this is some sort of network head and his celebrity wife so I will say Les Moonves and Julie Chen?
ReplyDeleteMatt and Ben?
ReplyDeleteI realize this is wrong, but all I can think of is Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard and their OTT cutesy shtick.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it's Pat Sajack and Vanna
ReplyDeleteMark Burnett and Roma Downey
ReplyDeleteThey might have been mentioned more than once or twice in the past decade on this site
ReplyDeleteIt could also be the nicer 2 on Shark Tank- Robert Herjavec and Lori Greiner(Barbara Corcoran seems tough). I thought of ST straigh away-but thought it was a duo situation. Maybe they work together behind the scenes?
ReplyDeleteThis screams Bill and Hillary
ReplyDeleteThe Property Brothers maybe? It said celebrities, but didn't mention gender....
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like those reality tv folks, something like HGTV.
ReplyDeleteRehab Addict is where I live, and she is a nasty little piece of work. Been in trouble with the city multiple times.
it's TV so not matt and ben.
ReplyDeletei can't figure it out. tried to make it those creepy twins on HGTV and maybe 2 people on 'shark tank' but it just doesn't sound right.
I can't stand these two.
ReplyDeleteI saw that - she's not actually doing the renovations or something? For shame!
ReplyDeleteI believe it.
ReplyDeleteHad an old co-worker, who years ago in college worked in a shop that Rebecca from Rebecca's Garden used to come into. She had some horrible stories about that woman.
They make my teeth ache.
ReplyDeleteThat's only part of it. She's been in trouble for other projects also that she did a sh i t job on.
ReplyDeleteHillary Farr/David Visentin are the show hosts(my bad) they were sued by above couple.
ReplyDeleteGood bye troll. Get a life.
ReplyDeletechip & jojo?
ReplyDeleteThat's is exactly my first thought too!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut I was thinking Robert H and mark Cuban. But I think you got it with lori. They come across as the nicest two
ReplyDeleteHow about Chip and Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper
ReplyDeleteYes please... can't stand them (& her rehash design sensibility!)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Shark Tank too but I thought they meant that the 2 celebs were a couple/team that's why i thought Mark Burnett since he's the creator & executive producer of Shark Tank...reading comprehension is my friend.
ReplyDeleteMegan Mullally and Nick Offerman? I really hope not...
ReplyDelete@Marlin I watched it once or twice and actually enjoyed it(and them) in particular and thought the clue "mild mannered thing they shoot for" referenced their demeanors on air...but ?? Could be an HGTC couple(never watched any of them).
ReplyDeleteThe Property Brothers twins are starting to pop up in a lot more shows n' stuff.
ReplyDelete>>hey hear about a deal or someone comes to them with a deal. They lowball and lowball. If they get the deal, great. If they don’t get the deal, they wait. They bide their time until the person tries to make another deal and they strike. The two celebrities come in and drive everyone else out. When the others are gone, our celebrities then bail out leaving the person with nothing except a bunch of fees and the knowledge if they try to do it again, the celebrities will be there once again<<
Definitely sounds real estate or design/decor driven.
I think maybe them, because being nice is part of their show. Some of the others don't even try to pretend to be nice
ReplyDeleteTarek and Christina - Flip or Flop
ReplyDeleteThey made a huge profit selling a house to his sister. Very very money hungry
I liked her for quite a while. Followed her on Facebook and she started to come off as really unpleasant. Someone wrote something negative and she reposted it so that her fans would harass the offending person- and they did. I think she's starting a cult.
ReplyDeleteIdk. She seemed a bit off.
I agree. Neither seem very pleasant to me but their fans adore them.
ReplyDeleteCould be...these two are typical L.A. douchebags....GREEDY douchebags.
ReplyDeleteI watch the show hoping they lose money on the house.
ReplyDeleteI thought of the Property Brothers, but one of them was in the news about raising a stink at a bar at closing time? I think that Enty would not have made the point about never writing about them since this was fairly recent. Also, I would not be surprised if there has been a blind or two about them. I like the Chip and Joanna guess (although I had to look up their names), since they really do emphasize their niceness. I dunno, though..maybe someone better known? This blind has me intrigued and I'm not even sure why.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only couple on TV that I can think of that comes off as the cutest, funniest, coziest couple ever. (I would be so disappointed if that's all an act.)
ReplyDeleteDial back on the coffee, a$$, and get a sense of humor.
ReplyDelete@Kno Dax and Kristen were my first thought too. Those commercials. No Hollywood types would fall for that crap so it must be corporate or advertising types
ReplyDeleteI thought it was suuuuuper shady that she partnered with, of all companies, Quicken Loans when she was working in Detroit. From what I've read, they are just greeeeaaat for the community.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna change my guess to one of the hgtv shows, prob chip and Joanna Gaines like some others guessed. I really like shark tank and the dynamics of all the hosts and don't want to ruin the show for myself lol. Can't stand the hgtv shows so that it is.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking them too. Chip & Joanna Gaines came to mind but they operate in a relatively small town environment & I don't think they could get away with it the way someone in Orange County, Cali could.
ReplyDeleteTina Fey and Amy Poehler? No idea if they're nice or cut throat, but seem funny and approachable and very successful.
ReplyDelete+1 trillion
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not alone. The wife is annoying af.
