Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta--Anyone else hate this show?
I was really excited about this show--the New York version is one of my favorite shows, I'm a Southern girl (from NC) and can get sucked into almost any reality show there is. But, good grief, I find almost everyone on this show to be so unlikable! Soooo much snark, condescension, and eye-rolling--everyone on staff seems to hate their job and their clients. I know they look for the drama, but the New York version is so endearing!
I have tried several times to watch it, but I just can't get through an entire show without getting annoyed. Am I the only one?
When people are the most unlovable is usually when they need it the most.

Re: Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta--Anyone else hate this show?
With every fiber of my being.
I saw an episode once where the woman who owns/runs the salon refused to let the fianc? see the dress of the bride because it was "against her beliefs." Who cares what she thinks? If the bride/fianc? wants it, shut up.
I can't watch it. It grates my nerves. There's always new episodes of this but I miss the NY version. I never see new episodes anymore!

I'm not a fan. Monty is a poor man's Randy.
And all the clients are supremely annoying, and can never seem to make a decision. The salespeople are push and have high pitched, whiny voices.
The salespeople are awful. It is so unprofessional for them to bad mouth their clients on television. Such poor taste.
On TLC's website, as of August 2011, Elise was still at Kleinfeld. The rumor was that Pronovias head hunted her and she went to their flagship NY store, but I'm guessing she's just not on camera anymore. I like Joan well enough but her voice grates on me-I loved Elise!
Ha, love all of this, glad to see I'm not missing anything and it really is just that bad. I especially love this:
No one could compare to Randy! He really seems to love his job and the brides, and enjoys finding them the right dress, while with Monty it just seems like such a bother.

I don't like it nearly as I enjoy the NY shows. I think you all have brought some clarity to the reasons why I don't like it/enjoy the NY shows so much more.
I also don't like the phrase "Jack them up". To me, that's got more of a negative connotation, certainly not a phrase I'd use to try and "seal the deal" on an expensive sale. I'd have thought a high class place like that would have a more high class way to express themselves.
I still think Monty and Lori look like one another...and I'd guess they were brother and sister. Does anyone know the real scoop?
