Made in Chelsea NYC Life Lessons

For those lucky enough to not be crying into a wad of Vogue magazines this week, (repeat mantra: I will become Mark Francis) this season's Made in Chelsea NYC came to a dramatic close last weekend, and after all those love hexagons and commentary tweets, I am exhausted. Now I usually can't stand reality shows - I will never be able to see the allure with MIC's slightly chavvier cousin The Only Way is Essex - but Made in Chelsea lifts the lid on the poshest fish in the ever-growing reality show pool and for some strange reason I can't keep my eyes off their awkward confrontations. I'm not sure if these people ever do anything except meet in bars to argue and occasionally go clay pigeon shooting, but this addiction is going nowhere. 
Among obligatory awkward pauses and bed-hopping to rival the efforts of Olympians, the MIC cast has put out some important life lessons this season; more educational than psychology and sociology combined, probably, and the most important of all comes in the form of Mark Francis (who should probably set up his own religion, or at least write poetry.)

• Life Lesson #1: Mark Francis is the biggest aspiration in TV history (bare with me here). His accompanying tweets every episode - "Don't even think about standing there in your Topman judging my Balmain" - are more entertaining than the show itself. I don't know how I will cope without the commentary until next series. 
• Life Lesson #2: If you're going to make an entrance, you may as well do it the Chelsea way. Is a series even a series without the Jamie Laing balcony entrance scene?
• Life Lesson #3: Never date a Stevie. Somehow, the biggest player this series was (don't laugh) not Spencer, but Stevie. Nice guy who plays it sweet whilst telling another girl he doesn't like you? Next!
• Life Lesson #4: Never date an Alex, either. I may as well finish the list. Never date a Jamie, never date a Sam and absolutely never date a Spencer. You can Google the cast if you want an extended list of who to not date.
• Life Lesson #5: Rosie Fortescue your way out of every uncomfortable situation by comparing them to board games. 

Side note: Made in Chelsea is not as good without Andy Jordan's gorgeous face and gorgeous accent and general yumminess. Excuse me whilst I go perfect my elongated vowel sounds and fan myself with £10 notes whilst quoting Oscar Wilde until the next series rolls around to show me how to be a real Brit.
