Pudding, Duchess of Smackington, and I are here to recap the final two episodes of The Courtship. Pudding is being a typical teenager. She emerged from her “room” (under the loveseat) to scarf down her food and then immediately went back under. She’ll come out again later and stay up all night. The suitors play cards and discuss where they’re at with Nicole. We learn that after last week’s episode, Mr. Chapman stayed overnight with Nicole. … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E11&E12: The Finale→
We’re down to five suitors and Pudding and I are placing our bets on who we think might win. This is Pudding’s current expression because my husband (aka the butler) kissed her forehead without her consent. The audacity! THE VERY DARE, SIR! (She also slapped his mouth) At the suitor house, Mr. Nazaire reveals that he was the one who outed Mr. Chapman as not being ready for commitment. Mr. Chapman admits that he feels … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E10: OMG That Dress→
It’s time for her ladyship and I to recap The Courtship. Me: Now, Pudding, you’re going to be good today and not yell out the window at the kids walking home from school, right? Right? Pudding: … Of course, Mother. Over at the Suitor’s House the dudes talk about the possibility of proposing to Nicole at the end of the show. Mr. Chapman admits the idea scares him “shitless.” Mr. Nazaire is not impressed and … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E9: Van Lifestyle→
Last episode Captain Kim stormed off the show after learning that–GASP SCANDAL–Mr. Chapman had spent the night with Nicole. We open with Nicole telling Mrs. Baker and Miss Cleary that she was upset that Captain Kim revealed her private time with Mr. Chapman to the group. She says, “If I want to have more intimate time with somebody, I’m an adult and I can do that.” Pudding is less interested in judgmental contestant drama than … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E8: Mystery Suitor→
It’s time for Pudding and I to put down our embroidery and watch The Courtship. I apologize for the quality of this photo, but this is the look that Pudding gave me after I brushed her for THREE ENTIRE SECONDS. Mind you, she also had a bowl of warm shredded chicken for dinner and I had been checking on her every 2 hours all day to make sure her heating pad was on. Call Sarah McLachlan. … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E6: Bacchanal→
Lady Pudding and I have finished our tea and are now settling in to watch The Courtship. Last week we met two new suitors, and saw Mr. Shanklin leave after he serenaded Nicole while standing uncomfortably close to her face. Pudding is ready for more eliminations.

The men are told to impress Dom as he will be … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E5: Mr. Bochicchio→
I’ve been delayed in my recaps because I’ve been traveling for work and haven’t been home in a week and a half. Pudding: You were gone? Oh. I didn’t notice. I did get Pudding a stuffed seal on my adventures though. Last time, two new suitors were introduced, Dr. Hatem and Mr. Judge. Dr. Hatem is an emergency room doctor from Ireland, and Mr. Judge is a wrestling coach from Michigan. Everyone heads to … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E4: New Suitors→
Most distressing news indeed! NBC has canceled The Courtship by moving it to USA Network with the coveted slot of… 11 pm on Wednesdays. Pudding: I have the sent the executive who made that decision a gift from my litter box. Don’t worry, we’re still going to recap it.

They read The Daily Tea and … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch the Courtship–S1 E3: Most Distressing News!→
It’s time for episode 2 of The Courtship! Lady Pudding, my cantankerous, opinionated, 16 year old Siamese, has retreated to her cozy bed with her catnip egg to watch tonight’s episode. (Yes, I know she needs to be brushed. I get about 3 strokes of the brush in before she slaps the fuck out of me. Springtime shedding will be a work in progress.) We open with Nicole and her family having tea. Nicole reflects, “Young … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E2: Captain Kim’s Hair→

Immediately. Now the first episode is finally out, and my cantankerous sixteen-year-old Siamese, Lady Pudding, and I are going to recap it. Lady Pudding is a woman of refinement and opinions, think Lady Danbury but spicier. The “heroine” of this season … Continue reading Elyse and Lady Pudding Watch The Courtship–S1 E1: Meet the Suitors→
