Listen to the LIVE RADIO CHAT with Laura on Mix 106.5 WMVX!

The search is on CBS to find the Greatest American Dog. It’s a show Daune calls “this summer’s guilty pleasure.” Laura Nativo is a Hollywood producer who seems to have it all, Preston is her Pomeranian “son” with attitude. But, they were evicted from the show last week, and Daune asks Laura about the way the competition is playing out. Laura tells all about the show-mance with Travis, which trainers are too intense, and who she and Preston will continue to have a relationship outside the house.
Why DID Travis stand up for Beth Joy and Bella Starlet?? Laura knows, and so will you!

Last night, on  Greatest American Dog, we FINALLY said goodbye to Beth Joy and Bella Starlet. In my mind, they should have gone a long time ago!  At the beginning of the show we see Beth Joy thanking Travis for throwing hottie Laura under the bus.

Travis saw the need to defend Beth Joy’s “love” of Bella Starlet.  Bella Starlet showed her gratitude in a different way — by snapping at, and almost biting Travis.  Karma Mr. T!!

I will explain the title in just a second, but I am sooo sad that Laura and Preston were booted tonight!  I think Wendy Diamond wanted her off because she was jealous that they were cuter and got more attention.  I am not even going to start on Wendy…I am trying to be nice these days :-).

Okay so back to the title.  The challenge was to do a painting with your dog that represented your relationship.  For one, I find that to be a crazy challenge.  Dogs were not meant to paint.  And if the judges have such a problem with the dogs wearing clothes, why do they not mind strapping sponges and rollers  to the dog and covering them in paint (although it was completely safe)?  Well, some were good and some were sloppy and our favorite team was ousted.  Whatever…that dog is hilarious and way too cute for the show.  So is his mom.  We wish them the best and invite them to come chat with us anytime!

So Beth Joy and Bella Starlet remain.  Thanks in part to Travis.  While I get that he is a good guy, I think we all wanted him to ride off into the sunset with Laura.  If I was Laura I would ride my own horse.  He didn’t back her at all and actually came to the defense of Beth Joy.  I could give you more details, but why not watch it yourself.  You can view it here.  Maybe he can redeem himself in her eyes…I guess only time and tabloids will tell!
