Yes I'm Rosie's cousin and I didn't 'come on' here to defend her - I was a member long before the show aired. All I can say is that you see a very small, highly edited and engineered portion of what actually goes on. Rosie got a really hard time for what went on during that show and to be honest if I didn't know her and know for a fact that she is nothing like that in real life, I would think she was pretty awful too. She made lots of positive comments and gave some high scores bhut you only see the less positive ones. You don't see the way the shows handlers ask really leading questions at 4am when you are drunk and tired, you don't get told that the birdes have it written into their contract that they must do what the director tells you to so if the director tells you to go to the shops, you go to the shops! I know that if they could do it all over again Rosie and James would not go on the show. I think you must be mad to even consider it after seeing the first series!
This is the reason I won't watch these sort of programmes. I was on TV myself once (something
completely different) and even the tiny bit I had to do was totally manipulated into something completely different! On another wedding website I go on, a member is a relative of one of the brides on Bridezillas and that bride and groom were considering suing the programme makers for misrepresentation. The programme wasn't even called Bridezillas when they signed up for it for a start...!
