HotelChatter

In the pilot episode, we meet Rhonda (Nicey) -- who is probably the highlight of the show -- a plucky, sassy HR Manager. Then we have the pleasure of getting to know the horny smarmy GM (O'Connell), a delightfully cray-cray front desk agent who wants to be a model, a token gay guy, a distractingly short bellman, a Hottie McBody female front desk agent (worth noting: the front desk uniforms appear to be designer-esque), and some other even less memorable characters.

There appears to be a plot somewhere between the flat-falling joke extravaganza. The whole episode kicks off with a gossipy, sexy Time Out New York (yes, really) blind item about an unknown hotel staffer doing the dirty-dirty, prompting the HR Manager to tighten the rules with regard to sexual relations between employees.

The GM is having a hard time with the challenge of restraint because he is a bit of a man-slut, but things get complicated when a hot hunk of manmeat who happens to work in hotel security starts coming onto -- and eventually hooking up with -- the HR Manager herself (Nicey). Oh, so zany!

In the end, the show manages to sort of make fun of the staffer who works as a plus-sized model on the side, which was a bit annoying and stupid. The show is supposed to be a light-hearted comedy. So the way to get there is to make fun of the heavy people, then?

Still, although we are the worst kind of hotel geeks, we're going to have to go ahead and say that we would not turn this on if we weren't being servicey. See, we're watching it so you don't ever have to. You're welcome.
