Gene and Shannon have been together for 23 years, and remain (in Genes view) happily unmarried. We learn quickly that Genes reluctance to commit to the woman who has borne both of the couples children is a source of amusement to the two teenagers, Nick and Sophie, and a source of distress to Shannon. But, does Gene care? Not if you believe what you see at the outset of the episode. Gene says to the camera Marriage is an institution. You also have to be committed to it. If that does not sound like a nuthouse, he says, studying his nails, nothing does. Shannons answer to Genes indifferent attitude is If someone does not marry you after 23 years, it means youre a loser. Could you imagine Sharon Osbourne being so self-effacing? Are you kidding Sharon was the ultimate matriarch! Shannons own teenage son even chimes in to support his wayward father. Its good being a bachelor, he says laughing. Sad. Another future divorcee or serial monogamist in the making, compliments of Gene Simmons. Gene then takes the cameras along for an all out bachelor night in Vegas. Just for the heck of it, he leaves his family and goes to Hooters. The girls are draped all over Gene, seeing a human cash register because there is not much else to look at. We see the Alpha male at his coolest driving the bubbleheads around in a limousine all the while spouting out pathetic lines such as, I believe that I should have as many women as possible and I believe you should have as many women as possible. Please. I am humiliated for him, and for his whole family who support his delusional reality in which he is front and center. When Gene appears at home, Shannon asks how Vegas was. His reply? There were lots of boobs and they were all bouncing into each other. Yawn. At the end of the day, Shannon pulls a big ol staged surprise on Gene and plans an ambush wedding. Im too bored to even write another word about it, but if youre worried, Gene is still the man, the myth and the unmarried legend. In his own eyes, at least. |
