For someone who recently declared an undying love for Made in Chelsea, I have realised that I am incredibly fickle. Perhaps it is my own fault for starting the series late and now that I’m trying to play catch up, I’ve watched two episodes – that’s TWO EPISODES – in very close succession. This can be quite overwhelming. Also, nowt much really happened in episode 2, so here are just some general thoughts and points:
1. Andy bought a pair of shoes that were so fabulous that he didn’t need trousers. No arguments here.
2. Proudlock is back and he has massively upped his headwear game – and I don’t just mean hats. Proudlock really went to town on accessorising the entire head for his reintroduction to Made in Chelsea, with a trilby, tortoise-shell spectacles, a long gold necklace and cross earring. I like Proudlock.

3. I initially liked Lauren, Spencer’s new beau, as I thought the lass had a bit of craic after pulling Spencer up for being a show-off in episode 1 and for quipping ‘it doesn’t matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home’…
4. But I was wrong about Lauren. She’s the ringleader of the little group of witches who sat in the ‘exclusive club’ (read: dark, practically empty room that was hired out for the scene) with clichéd catty comments: ‘OMG, her dress is really nice – is it snakeskin or leopard print?’ CUE HYENA LAUGHTER FROM THE GIRLS.
5. Is it just me, or is the Stephanie – Josh relationship actually just a little bit too man-dominating-and-controlling-woman to be an entertaining relationship storyline? His rules for her margarita and guacamole party were: 1. No shoes, 2. Only clear drinks, and 3. Maximum of eight girls. Sounds like one of Spencer and Alex’s orgies.
6. Also, Josh is like, really, really, boring. BREAK UP WITH HIM IMMEDIATELY.

7. Darling Spencer agrees with me: ‘I think the denial of Mexican Night is the beginning of the end.’
8. I tell you something for nothing, you wanna watch out if you’re lighting a match in Chelsea, because the amount of flammable nylon hair extensions is out of control. MIAOW.
9. SPENCER’S FACIAL GIVEAWAY. He did better at concealing the faint undercurrent of MIC embarrassment this episode, but his face read ‘WT actual F?’ during the dark and intense ballet performance and the customary mansion party finale. Fair play.

10. All the girls talked about Alex all the time and how amazing / horrendous he was, but I got bored and stopped listening.
So, that’s that. I promise to return with a more thorough analysis next week, but for now I have to go and finish making the guacamole for LNOF’s barefoot Mexican Night. Tara!
