Made in Chelsea, Series 7 Episode 8 Review

It’s that time of the week again where we recap last night’s antics of our favourite Londoners – and after last week, I think there a considerable number of questions that need to be answered!

The episode opens with our two orgy culprits as they coincidently (and awkwardly) bump into each other on the street. Alex makes it clear to Spenny that he is royally ‘cheesed off’ with the way in which this HUGE revelation has unveiled as it was discussed amongst the two of them that this would definitely be kept on the DL (down-low for those who are socially inadequate).

Our infamous orgy culprits

Meanwhile, the girls gather around Binky’s house to discuss the latest on the infamous cheating scandal. Rosie chooses to ignore all rules of social convention as she continues to wear a hat indoors, but nevertheless she is a Chelsea girl so one shall do what one chooses to. Binky apologies to Lucy for being so oblivious to the truth that she was being told, and even Louise pipes up with a ‘semi-grovel’. First time for everything.

We’ve all reached a point now where we bury our heads in our hands as soon as Sam comes on our screens. He meets with Riley for an oh-so-awkward catch up where he continues to explain his disgust with Spenny and how distraught he is that Christiana has chosen Spencer over him – funny that. Riley now knows the perfect way to remove Sam from any situations; by kindly dropping in that Stevie is coming to join them. Right on time, he strolls across the camera, and Sam takes the opportunity to swiftly leave the scene – nice work Riley.

Spencer continues to tackle the dating world in the opposite way to most, sleeping with them first, then taking them out for a romantic dinner. Christiana is his current victim, although not for much longer I would imagine after she kindly announces that she thought he was 30!

Spencer tackling the dating world backwards!

Now for a complete plot change, Stephanie and Louise are doing the usual thing that girls do, chatting over a drink or two. Stevie and Andy are spotted at the other side of the bar, wearing some slightly questionable Hawaiian garlands. They join the girls for a drink which turns into a highly flirtatious conversation between Steph and Stevie, with a ‘tour’ of London left on the cards. Stevie! What about Riley?!

Andy’s face says it all!

Lucy and Riley meet for a business/girl-to-girl chat which is rudely interrupted by Jamie. Much to Lucy’s disapproval, he continues to pest Riley and promises to call her later, even though he doesn’t have her number .. yet. Bless. You can’t blame the guy for trying! Stephanie joins this small intervention and drops the bombshell that she most definitely has a crush on Stevie. Jamie, in his current love situation, encourages her to push forward with Stevie. Smooth moves Jamie, he’ll do anything to worm his way in with Riley. Poor girl, she’s only been on the set 5 minutes.

In other news, Binky goes against the collective wisdom of the girls and meets up with Alex, carrying a large bunch of flowers in her hand. Its clear she has reached the point where enough is enough and she knows why she is here: to throw the flowers on Alex’s feet and to shoot down his grovelling by reminding him that he “should’ve thought about it before sticking your dick in other people.” Mytton’s crying, Binky’s crying but showing real girl power, she turns around and walks away. Go Binks!

Alex and Binky call it quits.. for now.

All aboard Stevie’s tour of London! This is a clear reminder as to why he is stars in a reality TV show rather than being a tour guide. A one stop tour, featuring a scenic rooftop, is the perfect spot for Stephanie to reveal her big ploy to get Stevie away from the usual crowd to spend a bit of ‘quality time’ together. Stevie reveals he is single (sounds like Stiley is off the cards then), and leans in for a cheeky smooch. Oh Stevie, we thought you were the good guy!

Stevie! You were meant to be the good guy!

Sam being the worst addition to MIC that we’ve had since forever is conveniently sat in perfect proximity to eavesdrop on Andy and Stevie’s conversation. Whilst explaining about the latest Stevie snog, Sam makes it his priority to inform Riley of what he has just heard. At Jamie’s previously planned picnic, Same takes the opportunity to tell Riley which leaves her looking ever so slightly disappointed. However, I’m sure she won’t be down for long if Jamie has anything to do with it! Isn’t that right Jamie? Oh yes, in fact, he’s asking her on a date as we speak. Maybe I should just write the script from now on?!

Made in Chelsea Series 7, Episode 3 Review

So after last week’s bland(ish) plot line, this week certainly cranked it up a notch. It’s London Fashion Week and Mark Francis is in his element. Much to his despair, Binky’s lack of interest and enthusiasm towards fashion was definitely put to the test whilst watching the model’s parade up and down the cat walk – one of which was Emma Miller, last week’s fresh face and Spencer’s new love interest.

Binky, Louise and Mark Francis at London Fashion Week

Everyone’s favourite, Binky’s Mum Jane, met up for a secret coffee and ‘catch up’ to discuss the cheating rumours. Whilst Binky was unaware of this, her and Louise also met up for coffee to discuss last week’s most exciting part, the single’s dinner party. It would appear that Chelsea’s newest dating partners are soon to be Robbo and Louise (that’s if Alex and Binky have their way).

Meanwhile Spencer, a man of many good ideas (hmm), organised a double date with Emma, Jamie, and Emma’s friend Victoria Gucci (yes, some relation of the founder of Gucci but far too complex to explain). To be expected, this turned out to be somewhat awkward and disastrous, but nevertheless, Jamie turned up to Lucy’s birthday party with an unexpected plus one the next day (Victoria) and Spencer took Emma for a more sophisticated meal for two. This also backfrired on Spenny after confessing his true feelings for Emma led to the ultimate pie on her behalf – I’m not sure if Spencer has ever been rejected in such a hostile situation!

So as Binky and Alex push past all the cheating rumours and their matchmaking skills are in full swing with Louise and Robbo, Cheska is informed of some shocking information which is set to break Binky and Alex apart forever. Before the cosy nights of double dates are under-way, Cheska struggles to find a way to tell Binky the news that is sure to break her heart. Uh oh, we all know what this is going to be…

…Yes, you’ve got it, he’s a cheat. Inside information meant that Cheska was able to find out who the girl was and where exactly this happened. And where better to drop the bombshell than at Lucy’s birthday party. The dreaded “Can I talk to you in private?” made an appearance and Binky instantly broke down. But can we blame her? Alex was the trustworthy one, the one we had our hopes up for. In true Chelsea fashion, it didn’t take long before Alex was on the scene and questioned why his girlfriend was beside herself. Is he stupid? Obviously he knows what is the matter.

Who would cheat on Binky?

Who would cheat on Binky?

Well it didn’t take long for him to come clean (almost) and try to excuse himself by stating that he has had nights where he ‘doesn’t remember anything’. He was soon to clear Cheska from the scene and attempted to comfort Binky – of which she was having none of it (you go, girl!) As usual, a dramatic ending is always necessary and we can always count on Binky with her one- liners. Even in a time of frustration, upset and anger she manages to come out with, “You don’t remember putting your dick in someone else?”

It takes a lot to compose yourself as well as Binky did, so it continues to raise the question, how could you Alex? Who would cheat on Binky?
