Made in Chelsea, Series 7 Episode 9 Review

So this week we were greeted with the typical activity for London poshos – diving into ponds in Hampstead Heath. Obviously. But the fresh water clearly knocked some sense into Spenny as he explains to Andy how he has been a “shi*t friend” to Binky, over a spot of diving. Andy being the best friend that he is, kindly responds to Spenny by naming as a “fat Tom Daley.”

Meanwhie, still keeping up the sporting trend is Jamie, Stevie and newbies Edo and Fordy. Boy-chats over a game of basketball accompanied by an uncomfortable amount of backwards caps is clearly the new way to socialise. Stevie describes his unexpected kiss with Stephanie last week as the best he’s had so I think it’s safe to say that Riley is well and truly out of the picture. But not too worry, we can always rely of Jamie to snap up one of his mate’s ex girlfriends. He grabs her number from Stevie (cringe) and persists in arranging this date that was brought to the table at the picnic last week.

Obviously diving into ponds and basketball is not the current state of affairs for our Chelsea girls. They are much more suited to a catch up in Lucy’s office over lunch. Binky begins to tell all on the latest with Alex and shows that despite the numerous cheating scandals, his generous efforts with presents and more presents is starting to win her over. Oh Binks, blinded by love. Lucy and Stephanie are not best pleased by this news which leads to a full blown argument between Lucy and Binky. “You haven’t spoken to me for 5 days,” is the kind of chat that is happening. Come on girls, it’s not primary school. Nevertheless, this escalates and leads to Binky storming out and Steph and Lucy left jaw-dropped.

Back to work after lunch and Riley strolls into the office. Late. Lucy is not best pleased and after hearing the current rumours of her and Jamie’s planned date, she does not hesitate to sack her intern as a result of mingling with her ex. The word jealousy springs to mind, Lucy.

You're fired!
You’re fired!

Spencer takes Binky for dinner in attempt to rekindle their friendship. The whole “I’m sorry for being an a**ehole” spiel manages to win Binky back after part-taking in the infamous orgy with boyfriend/ex boyfriend (we’re not quite sure). Meanwhile, Jamie finally gets his way with his drink date with Riley. Their conversation seemed to be flowing smoothly after she described him as a chihuahua. Interesting first date chat.

In true Chelsea fashion, the epsiode’s ending comes with a party. Or pardy should I say. This doesn’t fail to unveil a whole load of drama and what better way to start than by Alex entering the room, in the same outfit as Spenny. He confronts Mytton about shifting the blame onto his shoulders as a way of winning back Binks but, seriously, they’ve practically had sex with each other so there is not really any point in arguing about whose fault it is.

Riley makes it clear that she has chosen Jamie over her job after they share a sneaky smooch. Lucy and Stephanie continue the jaw-drop facial expression and the girls congregate to discuss their feelings towards Binky’s friendship loyalties. Cheska, Fran both agree with Lucy that she has begun to ditch her gal pals as a way of getting back with Alex and, as expected, Cheska starts crying after realising that she is ‘losing’ her best friend. Coincidently Binky joins this chat and confronts Lucy with a few home truths, “the world does not revolve around you, Lucy.” Louise and Cheska try to step in and smooth things over but Binky is having none of it and snarls at them too.  “Go f*ck yourself,” was the mouthful Cheska got. Ouch. When will these poshos learn.
