Brad was coy about his new gig as KTLA’s mid-day weatherman. True, it was somewhat edgy. He was the first new hire in decades without big boobs and a chihuahua but Brad drew the line at trailblazing. Los Angeles had seen this before. It just finally presented the weather.
The package deal Brad fronted arguably presented itself. It also got the badly needed UPS weather segment sponsorship as well as an in with the makers of Viagra and the Bowflex.
The producers at KTLA were most pumped up at the prospect of a POV cam for live weather reports from Coachella, Stage Coach and White Party. They did tho express concern for those Brad would be ‘interviewing’ given the inexplicable increase in risk for third arm induced black eye.
Brad was largely unfazed by all of it as he was already going to be at the festivals, and the new job simply meant he was getting paid as a host in addition to being a gogo dancer. He also had years of maneuvering experience under his belt which quelched much of the producers initial worry regarding the size of his whoo-ha.
That’s not to say the new gig didn’t throw Brad a few curve balls. For one, he was surprised to learn the local forecast got super gimmicky because there was essentially no weather to report in Southern California. He also had no idea ‘quelched’ and ‘whoo-ha’’ weren’t words.
What really threw Brad for a loop was the use of quotes with the word ‘interviewing’ by his new co-workers. The practice also confounded his boyfriend Chris. Interviewing was a real word!
In my mind, Rachel Leviss is an American folk hero, a soldier who did her duty and who was disparaged and humiliated when it was time to come home. Why do people think they pay actor/models to become cast members of Vanderpump Rules? To celebrate the virtue of marriage? Having to leave Vanderpump Rules for infidelity among cast members is like having to leave the Keebler Elf tree because you smell like cookies. Some fans will miss using Rachel / Raquel as a social media piñata, of course, but the manipulative theatre of "Scandoval" will lose all traction and I think this will lead to great embarrassment among those who participated in the shaming of this woman.
