Of course, by "Mrs. Brady" I mean the woman with Wessonality, Florence Henderson, and by "son" I mean her TV son Christopher Knight, who played pork chops and applesauce-lovin middle kid Peter on The Brady Bunch.
Henderson was speaking at a press conference at the Television Critics Association tour for a new Hallmark Channel movie when she mentioned that she thinks that VH-1 pressured Knight into getting married to America's Next Top Model's Adrianne Curry so they could create buzz and more reality show goodness.
Henderson says that Knight asked her to come and counsel him and Curry on their marriage as part of The Surreal Life, because she is a certified hypnotherapist*. Henderson says that at this point she realized that the network was forcing them to get engaged. Henderson jokes (or maybe she's serious) that she'll next counsel them after the divorce.
Sometimes I think that celebrity reality shows exist just to destroy our childhood memories.
*At this point you're saying, "Florence Henderson is a registered hypnotherapist?!"

It was pretty obvious that there was a huge attraction between the two, so I don't think it a sham. Could Mrs. Brady be a tad jealous? Does she want her own show? Kind of tacky to even say something like that, Flo.

My recollection of Henderson on The Surreal Life was that she didn't seem to have a clue what was going on around her.
Personally, I hope it's a sham. Curry is way out of Peter Brady's league.

Ahhh, and you're in luck GL because the 'marriage' is a sham because you cannot make a low class bimbo(really too kind a term) any kind of wife. She shows every sign of being untrustworthy that there ever was. And there is more to being 'out of his league' than looks. Christopher is the one getting the BAD DEAL as he is good enough looking, great personality type man that he could easily find a more reliable, CLASSY WOMAN than to settle for nothing but sex and being driven mad by a narcisstic, obnoxious, disrespectful broad like that. Flo is right in that the marriage will be over within the next 2 yrs.
