Queen of Versailles Reigns Again

I saw the original Queen of Versailles at the Sundance Film Festival and was outraged then. Now here comes another chapter of a cruel and ridiculous travesty. People are starving in the streets and she needs a 90000 Square Foot home? How narcissistic do you have to be? Totally obnoxious. I couldn't care less about her or her home and I'm disappointed that Discovery + sees fit to fund her in any way.

I mean, this is nothing compared with for example "Keeping up with the Kardashian's" who built up their entire career and fortune with their show. I like Jackie, she's more genuine than any other rich mom with a reality show. I thinks it fun and interesting to follow the process with this gigantic project of finishing the house, that's been called the most expensive building failure since they halted the whole thing. I mean this is their dream home. I would build mine too if I had the money.

And I think Jackie does a greater job than her husband listening to the actual experts who are responsible for the building and design process. I really hope we get a second and maybe third season to see it done. I see some tendencies in her sons that's going to mess with it but I hope it ends well.

Interesting and entertaining show for interior design and architecture enthusiasts. The Sieglers have been attempting to build USA's largest family home for 20 years. Due to financial obstacles they had to postpone their plans, but now Jackie is more than determined to finish the house.

Every detail on Vesailles grandiosity mirrors perfectly Jackie's vain character. Apart from vain, she is also quite funny, even though she seems to deal with problems bigger than one can think a rich woman like her can have. Personally, I think that she diverts her attention from her pain to her luxury life problems. Most of us cannot afford to even think of the things that stress her during the show, but those are not really why the Queen of Versailles is sad.

What a desperately unhappy woman and her desperately pointless house. Why anyone wanted to make this is the question of the day. Probaly this strange, unattractive and weird woman paid someone to make it and paid to have it promoted as something, though I am not sure what we should call it. Watching beer bottles falling down the stairs would be more interesting and more honest. This woman has solittle self-awareness that at best we can wonder about her sanity and mental health. Arguably one of the most useless video projects ever filmed.

If you enjoy drinking games, may I suggest taking a drink/sip/shot every time someone on the show says "morning kitchen" I assure you will be sloshed halfway through the second episode. But, unfortunately it gets much worse as the series moves forward.

I'd also like to add that it seems very fishy to me that David (husband) is in the hospital the whole time. I only say this because he actually sued Sundance and the director of the original film claiming defamation. He lost that case as the only defamation (about himself) was things he actually said in the film.

Overall, I just think the whole show is sad (constantly insisting on 10 chairs at breakfast tables etc) as the kids are all moving away from home age and the 86 year old husband won't be around forever. So who is the self proclaimed "Queen" really doing this for?? I'll let you make your own mind up about that.
