GENIUS ALERT ft. Farai Bennett - Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event Pts. 1-4)

Lara and Carey turn the page on another chapter of the inaugural Genius Alert series, this time calling in fellow Los Angeles reality scholar/social media star, Farai Bennett. They discuss Farai’s anti-Valley but (pro-SUP Valley) recaps mentality, Lara’s relationship to the VPR universe at large, and more. Together the three take on a doozy of an undertaking… recapping parts 1-4 of Kim's Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event in the seminal sixth season (eps 14 & 15) of the show that changed it all.

In 2011, where they lay their scene, Kim and Mama Kris dive into the abyss of wedding planning for her upcoming nuptials to rindom NBA star Kris Humphries, and from the start, the writing of their inevitable demise is on the rhinestoned walls. Humphries butts heads with the other Sisters Kardashian, mainly Khloe, who doubt his intentions with their sister and seek to protect their family’s already flourishing empire. Ignoring the warning signs, Kim buries herself in wedding prep, from a gaudy registry featuring Hermes plates to a custom-designed and fitted Vera Wang dress; Humph challenges the matriarchy, urging his bride-to-be to ignore her family's wishes, take his name and join him by the lake in Minnesota for a quieter life.

Meanwhile, Rob struggles with a junk food addiction, made worse by his sisters’ teasing, and Kris Jenner flirts with death and existential despair with a pre-wedding facelift. As tensions between Kim and Humphries mount, not even joint bachelorette/bachelor parties, a star-studded wedding guest list including Maria Menounos and Dina Lohan, and a $17 million paycheck can stop what’s coming: a 72 day marriage ending in divorce before the new year.

Follow Lara, Carey and Farai into Hetero Hell as they recap America’s princess in a time of statement jewelry and Tuscan-style mansions.
