Following the very public backlash for her quickie wedding and divorce, Kim Kardashian’s E! show Kourtney and Kim Take New York is scheduled to premiere this Sunday on E! (10/9c).
While many, and we mean many, fans have voiced their displeasure against the greedy fame whoring family it’s still likely many will tune in to E! Sunday night to see what actually went on in Kim’s and Kris Humphries marriage of 72 days.
Well, Reality Tea was able to get a screening of the 1-hour premiere and I must say I was quite shocked at the episode. Let’s just say pimpmomager Kris Jenner is not going to be happy with the premiere! For starters, Kris got a very fair edit (not sure how long this is going to last) on the season premiere that by the end of the episode he actually came off as the victim and Kim the villain.
Living Conditions – The premiere began with Kris and Kim just returning from their “amazing” honeymoon and the newlyweds, for some unknown reason, have decided to move in with Kim’s sister Kourtney Kardashian, and her boyfriend Scott Disick, along with their 1 year-old son Mason. Because apparently, the dream of every newlywed couple, millionaires at that, is to move in with another family.
Set Ups – It’s pretty clear from the beginning that Kim wasn’t as concerned with making her marriage work and giving it a real shot as she was concerned with creating good reality TV drama. How else can we explain her decision to do a reality show immediately after her wedding? Or her decision to agree to this living condition instead of getting to know her husband in private? Or better yet, her decision to agree to having Mason‘s playroom right next to her bedroom with Kris, much to Kris’ dismay… rightfully so I might add.
Is Kris A Jerk? - As stated above, the editing on the premiere episode was definitely more than fair to Kris though it was still unfair he had to deal with certain set ups to begin with. The biggest set up being Kourtney’s decision to invite a male yoga instructor to teach her, Kim, and some of their friends some naked yoga. Poor Kris is shown walking into his home, or hotel suite he shares with his wife and wife’s family rather, only to see a naked man teaching his wife yoga. Kris did not react too positively. He came off as a rather immature 26-year-old in my opinion, though not a jerk. It appears Kim, age 31, missed the memo that most women mature faster than men.
Real Love? – If anything, the premiere seemed to prove the couple’s love was real… well at least on Kris’ end. In many scenes, Kris was shown telling his wife Kim how “pretty” she was, how much he loved her and apologizing to her for not wanting to stay longer at a party that was being hosted for them. As for Kimmie, most of the scenes showed her with a short fuse when it came to Kris. She flew off the handle when he ruined her pedicure while he was roughhousing with her. She stated “this sh*t is not going to fly” over Kris’ messiness (he leaves his clothes everywhere). And she was very quick to snap at him over his immature behavior towards the naked male yoga instructor.
What is clear in watching the premiere is that the honeymoon between the two was definitely over, but it seems poor Kris forgot to get the memo. While Kris carried on like a lovesick puppy, it was pretty clear Kim was already over this union and having major doubts. Doubts that were likely there BEFORE her wedding, you know, the same one that netted her $17 million. Which leads to the question, why did she go through with the wedding to begin with? I’ll let you ponder that rhetorical question for a second.
It will also be interesting to see how E! edits Kris as the season goes along. After all, the network does have a lot riding on Kim and the whole Kardashian family being liked by the public.
Whether you like this family or not (believe me — I’m not a fan), I will say the premiere episode is a must see. Even I was excited to watch this to see what actually went on behind close doors. Plus, I’m curious to see how the general pubic will interpret the season premiere episode.
As for Kris, sources close to him are now telling TMZ he has no plans to sue Kim. A report came out days ago saying he was considering filing a $10 million lawsuit due to his worry over how he would be portrayed on the show plus because he has a larger role in it than originally promised.
Sources say Kris, who reportedly has a “cordial” relationship with Kim at the moment, is still worried that the show will make him look worse than he really is but also understands he has no control over it.
ETA - After finishing this write up, I came across a review by the NY Post and it appears the writer shares the same sentiment I did. Linda Stasi wrote:
“After watching a screener for Sunday night’s much-hyped “before-the-breakup” opening episode of “Kourtney & Kim take New York,” I feel as foolish as Kris Humphries must feel. In fact, the krooked Kardashian klan should have changed the title of the show to “Kourtney & Kim Take New York For a Ride.” For once — despite all the editing that went into making Kim the breakaway bride look like the slighted one — they will be exposed as the phony kreeps they are. And Humphries? He ends up looking like the dumbest schmo to ever appear on reality TV — and that’s saying a lot!
It becomes clear early on, that this poor fool thought he was really getting married. He didn’t realize he was just playing a character assigned to him by Kim. He wasn’t a husband, he was a prop!”
I predict very high ratings for the premiere of the show which will likely take a dip as the season goes along. And once Kourtney and Kim Takes New York ends, I believe this family will be done. One – they’ve done it all (sex tape, pregnancy, marriages, babies and divorce) and the public is just sick of them. Quite frankly, they simply cannot top the train wreck they have created for themselves.

The K’s and their entourage of husbands and boyfriends are pathetic excuses for humanity. I hope this is the end of an appalling display of shallow materialism.
I didn’t watch the show. no doubt the temptation to see the greedy, talentless joke called Kim existed. I already said I would boycott their show. Anyway, I did something more important with my time, like folding laundry, filing my nails, and so on….lol.
Lmao @ 139 The only talent she has is sucking a weiner. Well I stuck to my word and didnt watch the show, and from what I am hearing sounds like I didnt miss much. I just cant wait until she becomes a memory.
Oh and Im so jealous of Kim because no one has ever pissed on me, I’m not good at lying, my dad never helped a murder go free, and my mom f***ed our pool guy but I didnt get a little sister out of it..idiots!
I’m jealous of kimmie kimode because I have a normal sized badunk, long legs vs. stumps, I’ve never been a piss whore and I didn’t make a sex tape that my mother proudly released..oh, and I never married for money…lol
Lol. Cutie pie, I think I’m more jealous of Kim because she’s 30 or 31 and has been married and divorced twice! And I’m 30 and have only been married once AND I’m still married..lol
@155 Lisa…she has her money to keep her warm at nite along with whoever’s pee she is being the receptacle for at the moment.
As a short person with a big butt I’m offended! I’m the same height as her, and hate when my legs are called stumps. Its not like ppl have control over that.
Anyways, the word hater is used entirely too much. Just bc ppl don’t like them doesn’t mean they’re a hater or are jealous of them. No, if I had the chance to live my life like they do I wouldn’t change it. I like the privacy, and I also don’t feel the need to film every aspect of my life then later complain about it.
I wonder if Kris H is thinkin’ “That slut divorced me before I had a chance to pee on her”
Lol..you crack me up cutie pie.
shit was boring and scripted….(yawn)
Happy to say…I didn’t watch the show either.
wouldn’t be caught dead with that show on!
didn’t watch, boycotting the kardasian forever and I must say I use to be a fan. No more Kartrashian
Omg…those simpleton “Hater” responses…PLEASE…
A study was done asking Teenage girls about their aspirations. Most of them responded they wanted to be famous (not for a talent, but for any reason) . Many of those stated they only needed to make a “sex tape” to become famous and of course they cited Kim Kardashian as the person they looked up to.
Now it is the responsibility of parents to steer their kids in the right direction. BUT to also accept their actions as OK and celebrate her and her family AND have them sell your kids their TV Show, cute clothes, jewelry and everyday products is basically condoning and accepting that sex tape = fame = success = OK for you = All is well in the world. I have a problem with this.
I dont have kids, but i work with them and you can see this bad, spoiled princess, rich beyotch behavior in this generation of tweens, preteens and teen girls. AND for some reason parents dont have balls to discipline them.
We as a society reward bad behavior. So we need to draw the line somewhere.
The only thing Hollywood understands is $$$$$. So I say withold you money and stop watching this crap. Dont support them.
LOL this article smarts of bitterness and it is not even pretending to be objective in the least. Clearly you have already chosen a villan and the victim before watching the show.
I watch KKTNY, KUWTK, K&L for ENTERTAINMENT not a morality contest and that family offers me that.
As for the ratings, for us that have been watching from season 1 we will continue to do so, those that cannot stand this family please feel free to watch some more intellectually stimulating shows and leave us “shallow” fans to enjoy our Sunday guilty pleasure. Kris is one dumb f*ck, if Kim is so vapid what does it make Kris having known that and still married her?
Its like marrying a fat woman then complaining about her weight. What did he expect when he married her? No sympathy for me at all. GO KARDASHIANS!!!!
I did’t watch
After watched the premier show, I honestly feel like everything was set up. Kris is already leaving to Minnissota, Scott moved out during the first show. Everything was definately planned out for everyone to break apart. It didn’t make sense how all the sudden Kim wants to married Kris to begin with. I do however feel sorry for both Kim and Kris, they are both human being and they both have feelings. I’m sure they both hurts from all these set up TV show. I have a feeling that Kris Jenner would wants to make more money out of their younger daughters since the older three sisters was alreaday all mess up. Mother like this should not be exist in this world. Yes, I wish her dad would be around so all sisters and brother wouldn’t have to work so hard and be a slave of reality TV show.
“they’ve done it all (sex tape, pregnancy, marriages, babies and divorce)”….please do not test Pimpmomager Kris, because death, murder, and crimnal mischief is still available.
Kris H. got caught up some how and some way, nobody knows. He was truly not ready for a marriage with Kim.
Kim was a hand full, she had traveled many many miles. We are not sure what Kris was thinking when he asked for her hand in marriage and didn’t even know she had been marry before.
Kris H. it is hard to feel sorry for you, since you just jump into the relationship as if you were a king and you had everything under control.
You simply did not know anything about Kim other than __. You need to be careful the next time, grow up, and do your reasearch before asking for another hand in marriage.
i am a kardashian fan all the way ever seens they were going out i think he was bad who does that with your own family put u against your sister causing problems.good job kim for getting rid of a guy like that who wants that family comes first you just dont do that its wrong putting your own sister against you all episodes proves hes full of it am proud of kim i think he just wanted to get famous so called love he wants to sue her YEAH RIGHT.
