Dr. 90210

My most recent guilty pleasure (and, yes, you're right, there are a lot of them) is to DVR the show "Dr. 90210".

It is great reality tv meshed with great documentary style plastic surgery. I could watch plastic surgery shows all day and it's interesting to see a bit of life outside the operating room to get a glimpse of what the doctors' lives are like.

The doctors that seem to get the most airtime are Dr. Rey and Dr. Diamond. Dr. Rey is Brazilian (he may also have a Brazilian, but they don't delve into it, so I can't be sure.) Dr. Rey is kind of a fruit loop, wears very flamboyant shirts, and has some kind of weird frosted hair.

However, he seems to really care about his patients and has a good bedside manner. Dr. Rey seems to be on the show the most. He does A LOT of breast augmentations. Coincidence that he gets the most airtime?

Dr. Rey's wife's name is Hayley and she probably weighs about 97 pounds. Her upper arms are the width of a number two pencil. She always looks mopey, probably because she hasn't eaten anything since 1999. They have two kids and I can't remember their names.

Dr. Diamond is also featured and he has a wife named Jessica, who is also a doctor, and they just had a baby. Jessica is beautiful and seems smart and nice. Dr. Diamond seems like kind of a dick (he asked if he had to be there while she was having their baby. Um? Yes.) He seems like a good surgeon, though. Watching him break a patient's nose with a hammer and some type of metal instrument to straighten the nose out is wince-worthy, but fascinating at the same time. (Fascinating to me, anyway. Aaron always retreats to the extra bedroom to play Grand Theft Auto when Dr. 90210 is on.) And the patient's nose turned out great. Nice and straight.

The doctor that I like the most is Dr. Kirby.

He is dreamy and seems pretty nice both in his office and at home. He recently gave a patient a "liquid facelift", which is comprised of multiple shots of Botox and Juvaderm to the patient's face. He apologized for the pain every time he stuck the patient with a needle, which I thought was sweet. He doesn't seem to be on the show as much, though, which is too bad.

The other doctors that I have seen are Dr. Li and Dr. Alter, but they haven't been on much since I've been watching. I noticed on the show's website that there have been more doctors featured, but they haven't been in any of the episodes that I've watched.

Dr. 90210 is captivating programming and satisfies my urge to watch people go under the knife. (I hate horror films, but slice someone up with a scalpel or inject toxins into their face and I'm there.)
