LITERALLY it’s that time of year again. LITERALLY. The Rachel Zoe Project is back, which means that for the next several weeks, I get the distinct pleasure of talking in Zoe-isms on this here blog. It’s kind of my favorite thing to do. The truth is that RZP is still one of the most — if not THE most — vapid shows on television. Quite often I have a difficult time even getting through a full episode (the middle section usually gets bogged down with boring details of some photo shoot). However, despite all this, the series remains my absolute favorite to photocap. From the moment that Brad made his triumphant entrance to Rachel’s apartment last night by uttering “Oh. My. God,” I knew we were back in business Welcome back, Rachel Zoe. Welcome back.
Photocap after the jump…
“Oh my God. How could Tay do this? She was my blessed jewel. Somebody find Tay. Tay? Tay? Where are you? Where is Tay? Is she gone? Or is she just invisible. Oh my God. Is Tay a ghost? Are we in the presence of Ghost Tay? Did she die? Or are we dead? LITERALLY, I’m passing into another dimension. I see the light. And it’s major.”
“Oh my God. Rachel. You fired Taylor? This is a personnelsaster!”
Rachel: “Oh my God. We need to LITERALLY get everything back from Tay. Everything.”
Brad: “Shoes?”
“Everything.”
“Dresses?”
“Everything.”
“Sunglasses?”
“Everything.”
“Oh. My. God. This is literally everything.”
“Everything.”
“I need a moment to take this in.”
“Everything.”
“What if we turned today into opposite day? Then what would we need from Tay?”
“Nothing.”
“Oh. My. God. It’s literally opposite day. Literally.”
“Everything.”
“Oh. My. God. You reversed opposite day!”
“Everything.”
“I am literally going to pass out from anxiety.”
“Everything.”
“I need to find a new assistant. Will you help me, Roge?”
“That’s why I’m here.”
“Wait a second. Where’s my coffee?”
“Right in front of you. Maybe you should take your sunglasses off?”
“Oh my God. I couldn’t see my coffee. I thought it had disappeared.”
“It’s here.”
“Is there such a thing as ghost coffee? Is my coffee a ghost?”
“No.”
“Maybe it can travel through time. Maybe the coffee went to the future and came back with a message.”
“I think that’s unlikely.”
“Coffee? Coffee, can you hear me? Tell me about the future? Did you see Annie Hathaway? Did she look BEYOND?”
“Oh. My. God. Have you felt this table before? LITERALLY it the most amazing table I have ever felt. It’s major. Like, I’ve felt tables, but I’ve never felt a table like this. It’s the Chanel of tables. I LITERALLY want to turn it into a dress and walk to Starbucks in it. Oh my God. I want a Chanel table dress.”
“Roge? Roge? I want you to take me to Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. Will you do that for me?”
“Oh my God, Brad. We have to style a giraffe.”
“A giraffe?”
“A giraffe.”
“Like from the zoo?”
“A giraffe.”
“Like the tall things that eat trees?”
“A giraffe.”
“From Toys ‘R’ Us?”
“A giraffe.”
“I’m scared of heights.”
“Me too.”
“If I want to give the giraffe a hat, how will I do it?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t want to fall.”
“Oh my God. What if you fell?”
“I think I might.”
“I don’t want you to fall.”
“What if the giraffe wants me to fall?”
“Do you think the giraffe would do that to you?”
“I think he would. Especially if he doesn’t like the hat. It’s McQueen.”
“McQueen is a God among men. And giraffes.”
“Do you think the giraffe will like it?”
“Unclear.”
“LITERALLY, that would be a disaster.”
“A giraffesaster.”
“But the giraffe needs a hat.”
“Sometimes our job is the most dangerous job there is.”
“I want water, but I don’t want to touch the faucet. We’re fighting. Literally, I can’t even look at the faucet. I feel so betrayed. I keep thinking it will get better, but it gets worse and worse. Literally. Our fight is ba-na-nas.”
“Oh my God. Why is Tay using my old agency? That’s so wrong. I am LITERALLY mad. I’m going to tell the giraffe.”
“Oh my God. Have you seen Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore? Tears. Down my face. So powerful.”
Rachel: “Literally, I skinned a poodle to impress Demi today.”
“You look like Cruella DeVille.”
“I don’t know who that is.”
“She kills puppies.”
“That’s cruel.”
“I know. That’s why she’s Cruella DeVille.”
“I don’t get it.”
“LITERALLY, you guys would NOT get along.”
“Is she like Kitty Galore?”
“Who’s that?”
“An evil cat.”
“I guess they’re similar.”
“Does she like giraffes?”
“No. Dalmatians.”
“I like Dalmatians.”
“But she wants to kill them.”
“Oh my God. That makes me sick, Brad.”
“I know.”
“Sick.”
“I know.”
“Someone should arrest her.”
“She’s a cartoon.”
“How do we arrest a cartoon?”
“We don’t.”
“Did you speak to the police?”
“No.”
“Maybe you should.”
“They can’t arrest a cartoon.”
“Not their jurisdiction?”
“No. Because she’s a cartoon, and humans can’t arrest cartoons.”
“Could you try?”
“I mean, I could try.”
“Good. LITERALLY, Cruella DeVille needs to be stopped. LITERALLY.”
“Oh my God. What did they do to Demi? Did they shrink her? Why did they do that? LITERALLY, she is half her size. Oh my God. She is going to fire me. LITERALLY. Fire me. This is ba-na-nas.”
“Oh. My. God. I hate mice. LITERALLY, I hate them more than anything. More than, like, Nazis. Literally, that mouse is worse than Hitler. Literally. The only thing worse would be if that mouse was literally part of the Nazi party. Literally. I would hate that. Do you think if there are Nazi mice there’s a Hitler mouse? Oh my God. I die. My nightmare. Hitler Mouse.”
Rachel: “That giraffe is beyond.”
“Beyond.”
“I LITERALLY think it’s taller than the Empire State Building.”
“Do you think it will eat Demi?”
“That would be a Demisaster.”
“I’m scared, Rach.”
“If the giraffe eats Demi, then Taylor wins.”
“We can’t have that.”
“Brad, go kill the giraffe.”
“But it’s so big.”
“Literally, it’s going to kill you first.”
“Oh. My. God. It’s a monster.”
“The more I think about it, the more I hate giraffes.”
“They should be called gir-asses because they’re such asses.”
“Literally, I wake up in the middle of the night because I hate giraffes so much. I die. I die.”
Shut The Front Door……she’s back. Watched it 2x in a row to catch everything. Oh how I missed Zoe.
Great re-cap it’s ba-na-nas!
LITERALLY, great! LOL
Tay was my blessed jewel.
Brad is my blessed Jed Clampett.

I had to DVR last night’s episode but tell me this, did she Bing
it?
She did indeed, it was ba-na-nas. It was a Bingsaster.
omg like LITERALLY this is UH-maz-zing. i love this.
and i sound SO MUCH MORE STUPID today thanks to this show returning. it is a KNOWLEDGESASTER.
She looks so old…Is she really under 40?
“Oh my God. Have you seen Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore? Tears. Down my face. So powerful.†Me too Rach.
I do wish Roge would lose the Justin Bieber haircut.
Ed Hilll has recently posted a little video montage of her saying “Literally”.
I know her from magazines, but have only watched her show a few times. I decided to give it another shot last night, and I noticed that she did not say “Literally” one time (and I was paying close attention). I think she must know that people were relentlessly mocking her for that.
Anyway, she is LITERALLY ANNOYING. She is so narcissistic and self-absorbed. I just don’t think I can stomach watching this regularly.
I do want to comment though, on her skin and bones frame. That woman clearly has an eating disorder. The way she needs attention by saying things like “But you can’t see my spine, can you”? And then acting all sad and discouraged when that dude confirmed that yes indeed, he could (and if you are concerned about wearing something that shows your bony spine, then don’t wear a backless dress- sheese!). This is such anorexic behavior – needing to constantly hear how thin you are (but pretending that it bothers you). She looks like she belongs in Hospice… really unhealthy. I would be concerned if I were her husband.
I saw that video somewhere and it is hilarious. The funniest is how she switches between ‘liderally’ and ‘litrally’ and it just makes me wonder why she chooses one pronunciation over the other? I also noticed that she did not use it much last night — did not realize it was not at all. Kind of a bummer! Apparently, ‘it’s major’ is the new phrase that pays for RZ this season.
As annoying as ALL these people are, I just love them and this ridiculous show!
Truth be told, I actually like Rachel. Before her show, like most people, I had this image of her being this very bitchy and shrill snob. After watching my first episode, I was hooked. She is actually very very insecure and there’s also something about her that seems so sad and unhappy which is probably why I find her endearing and why I’m oddly pulling for her. The irony of course is she drives a mercedes and is dressed in chanel. In any case, I love her and I love this show. Ok, I die and I’m now in a casket! And I wanna eat a banana!
O M G! the opposite day bit was ridiculously funny, literally, I laughed then I died.
So would a Demisaster be half of a regular disaster?
Why doesnt she say BA-NA-NAS anymore?
Oh wait. She will.
1. There’s no way she’s going to be able to get any dresses in sizes big enough for the giraffe on such short notice. Especially because turtlenecks are just not in this season.
2. Roger suddenly has a real role in the show whereas he used to just show up now and then. He is now, apparently, a forensic accounting, tracking down Taylor, the corporate embezzler.
3. I don’t quite understand how Taylor would have stolen funds from the company. It’s not like she worked at the Gap and there was a lot of cash lying around that she could pocket. I doubt that Jennifer Garner et al pay Ms. Zoe’s invoices with cash…
BA-NA-NAS!!!!!
I cannot wait until the facelift(s) begins.
MEGA BA-NA-NAS!
