Season II Premiere: Kourtney & Kim Take New York

There's been a lot of speculation about how the season II premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take New York would go down. Would Kris be portrayed the bad guy? Would "they" (producers and editors) make him look worse than he in fact was? Would there be signs of the divorce we all knew was soon to come? There were even reports that Kris planned to sue Kim because his role on the hit reality show turned out to be bigger than he was told it would be; and because he didn't want to be portrayed a bad guy. Kris Humphries vehemently denies the lawsuit report(s) saying, "I'd never sue Kim Kardashian."

Watching the premiere of the second season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York took on a whole new meaning for the aforementioned reasons. Although anyone who watched the E-Network's, Kim's Fairy Tale Wedding special didn't need the subliminal sure to be there clues from the season II premiere to see that this marriage would fail; they just wanted to see more. People can't seem to get enough of the Kardashians .

It's pretty obvious that Kris Humphries' ex-girlfriend may be telling the truth when she tattles to rags about how he used to make fun of the Kardashians, and herself, for watching their hit show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Kim, in the reality OUTSIDE reality TV, just isn't Kris's type of girl. Kris comes across as not only jealous, but resenful of Kim Kardashian's business savvy, work ethic, perfectionism, success. He can hardly stand her materialism, which most can't blame him for, BUT it's how he expresses such sentiments being called into question. In season II's premiere episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Kris confesses to Kim's sister, Kourtney, that he purposely throws his belongings on the floor to irritate Kim, who can't stand an out of order room. He also tells his WIFE she'll one day be forgotten so she shouldn't worry about where she lives.

That's not a first for such immature passive aggressive behavior from Kris toward Kim. During the wedding special episodes, Kris grew a mustache that he knew his fiance would hate because he felt she was getting her way too much during the wedding planning. Kris claimed the mustache was all he could do to have a part of himself, or whatever he said to try and justify that scruff over his lip (and childish gesture). Kris also has a sharp tongue, and capacity for being mentally abusive, which at times, he was towards Kim and is evident during some of the Kardashian episodes Kris Humphries appears on.

Kris, in turn, isn't Kim's type of guy. Love her or hate her, the girl has high standards and is high maintenance. She told him straight up she would NOT move into his dorm room like condo because she is accustom to a certain standard of living. Kris snapped back and reminded Kim that she wasn't always a hot shot and not long ago was peddling purses in the valley.

Kim Kardashian loves to freely spend her cash and is unapologetically materialistic while Kris prefers to plan out his finances much more conservitively. She's made that quite clear for many years, so it's confusing that Kris Humphries ever thought Kim Kardashian would suddenly STOP being a trendsetting workaholic (& fameAholic) and move to Minnesota to become his barefoot and pregnant wife. Kris is oil and Kim is water; the two just don't mix. Fighting at the rehearsal dinner was classic (and while registering for wedding gifts, editing their wedding guest list, and the tuxedo fittings for the groom and groomsmen)!
