Michelle Paradise's "Exes & Ohs" Video Blog: Episode 5Costar Marnie Alton joins Michelle Paradise to discuss episode 5 of Exes & Ohs and heckle Michelle's neighbors, who keep walking by while they're trying to film this vlog (hence the reason it's broken into four parts). In between dodging noisy neighbors, they answer your questions, discuss Marnie's side career as a singer/songwriter, and in keeping with the trend of making Michelle say things in other languages, they both answer a question in French (but sadly, it's to explain why they can't film the next season in Paris).
Also, Michelle makes Marnie attempt the Xena call. Watch it now! Michelle Paradise Exes & Ohs Video Blog: Episode 5, Part 1

You ladies had me giggling throughout the entire vlog, too funny how you had to pause and then come back due to interference :)
Marnie is so sweet and cute. it's the Canadian charm, I know for I am one myself :) Looking forward to Marnie's music video, so awesome.
I just loved hearing you speak French, I had a huge grin. I find it extremely sexy hearing girls speak French. Speaking of French, I was so happy seeing Serge Houde on Exes & Ohs playing Sam's father, I recognized him and yelled his name. Yes I'm a geek. I'm from Montreal so it's really nice to see Quebec actors on American television shows :)
I really hope the show gets picked up for a second season, it's really a great series and you're all doing such a fantastic job.
Great vlog.
As soon as this started I
As soon as this started I knew I had to put my coffee down. I was laughing so hard tears came out of my eyes.
I hope there is a season 2. Your show keeps getting better.
Or...
Instead of Paris, you could do it in Stockholm and in swedish! Come on, we have Europride in 08, it would be awesome! Think about it, ok?
Just wanted to say that I loved the v-log even though I haven't seen the episode... You guys are funny together, and I say keep the Xena call!
Hoppas ni får en andra säsong! Hej då från Sverige! (Hope you get a second season! Bye from Sweden!)
You guys are hilarious!
I love the show and the video blog! Can you do a video blog about something else till season two? (there's got to be a season two . . . I think I'll procrastinate a while and then write to Logo about it) The Xena call was priceless . . . any way I can get *that* as my ring tone? I think I am too computer-stupid to figure out how to get an audio clip out of the video though. Speaking of video editing software (kind of) please don't edit your vlogs, they're too funny the way they are! Perfection is so boring. Michelle, you remind me of how I would be if I did a video blog. The distractions are great! I'm not sure if anyone has asked this before, but is there any chance we can see bloopers from the show? I mean sure, I could beg Logo for a dvd box set (not to self, add that to my list of things to do . . . after I procrastinate . . . I'm in a very procrastinatey mood today, I don't know why) but why wait that long -- bloopers please! Although I guess the vlog could kind of qualify as bloopers -- but I really want to see more of you pole dancing!
I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD SAY SOMETHING IN CAPS TO SEE IF YOU WILL SHOUT IT! . . . hmm but I should have come up with something funnier to put in caps . . . uhh . . . damn, I shouldn't put myself on the spot like that, now I can't come up with anything.
YOU ROCK MY COOKIE MONSTER SOCKS!
There, that was kind of funnyish -- well in my head it was anyway . . . I really am wearing cookie monster socks . . . I think I may be rambling . . .
Michelle and Marnie Alton from "Exes & Ohs" goes French!
That was so awesome. When the vlog was about to be over. You two were like figuring out how to end it. In my mind, I'm like say goobye or something in French. Marnie Alton, you so did! You're so awesome.
Your French is like way better than your Spanish or Dutch,Michelle.
It's great Marnie that you so randomly was walking by Michelle's taping of her vlog and whoom there you are- beautiful and camera ready. LOL. I can't wait for your cd to drop. Your voice is beautiful!
Marnie looks familiar, has she played on any other shows?
Will there be anymore Exes & Ohs guests on your vlog,Michelle?
Most def I will email logo about doing 2nd season of E&O. No doubt.
I'm impressed of your pop culture skillz,Michelle. Bravo! (claps!) It's good to be in the know. Oh yeah,congrats on your award I almost forgot!
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to do the vlogs and being contributer to AE's website. AE is becoming increasingly more popular by the day thanks to us.
Blessings!
You're award pic will be on lapptop. (dreaming)
Maaaaaarniiiiiiie. Iiiiiik.
LOL!
You guys are going to get me fired one day. I managed to hold it together up until the Xena cry. OMG! Hahahaha!!
You two are just so cute together.
I'm going to go hide in the supply closet and laugh some more.
PLEASE!
Don't ever feel like you have to edit or shorten your AWESOME vlog for us! Love everything about it!!!!
Marnie is very sexy, but there is something about that smile of your's Michelle...
Question, well actually two, so that would have to be questions. You wear a variety of hats, errr titles, in regards to the show. On the production end, what was the hardest scene to get filmed or aired? I know you've talked about the weather being an issue, but what about funding, content, or fighting for something to not get cut? And as an actor, what was the hardest scene for you to be involved in?
And how about a question read in Italian! Not that I speak it, but I love to hear it!
You guys are sooo awesome! I
You guys are sooo awesome! I love these Vlog-thingies! Unfortunately I STILL haven't seen any episodes except the first one. It's really mean of you to make me addicted by making such an awesome first episode and then just leave me here.
Well, anyway. Just wanted to say hi, and definately don't stop doing the Xena call! It's hilarious. On that note... You should try and get Renée O'Connor as a guest star. I guess that would make a lot of lesbians very happy! Not me, though. It's a completely selfless comment. Heh.
And since we're being all international here: Hoi vanuit Nederland, en hopelijk krijgen jullie je tweede seizoen!
Yeah, that's Dutch. Try it, it's not the same as German! It's probably even harder to pronounce. Hehe.
"A collective gasp"
I think it's safe to say that we indeed don't get bored. Not with your wonderful sweetness and your powerful (collective) sense of humour.
My favorite moment in this vlog is when Michelle - looking to her left - said "Oh. Did you just see that?" and Marnie - looking to her right - replied with confusion "No".
As regards your snail/ vegetarian question, I suspect that snails fall into a completely separate class of animal from "meat" and "fish", being the invertebrate creatures that they are.
Thanks for delivering the vlog at an appropriate time and place. It made me appropriately emotionally manipulated ; )
PS: Just in case we won't be able to have you around once season 1 ends :( please remember to guest-feature your cat in the last vlog!

Wish granted!
Michelle, you're like a hot, gay Santa Clause. Thank you so much for having Marnie on the vblog, when you read my name (well username) I let out a scream that is very similar to the Xena call only more freakier. Neadless to say I scared the crap out of my roomates but I do not care:)
Yes, I am a female, 22 year old student who is now even more crushing on Sam because beside that fact that she is hot, the hottest on the show( had to say it, for old times sake:D) Marnie is so funny and sweet. This was the best vblog yet, you two are hilarious together. Hopefully Michelle, you will eventually have her back again!
I also want to congratulate you Michelle on the PowerUp award, you def. deserved that honor, I hope you're feeling proud of yourself because you should.
Oh and I emailed Logo asking about the second season. I suggest everyone on this thread to do the same. This show has definately became my fav. tv show and I wish you Michelle all the number of seasons that you want!
Marnie is hot but check out
Marnie is hot but check out Michelle Paradise's Power Up award photos! she's a knock out.
I also have an unrelated question for Michelle - how did you start writing for TV/movies? did you go to school for it or just start?
thanks!
agree
insert witty title here
i would just like to give Marnie a *canadian high five* ..good job representing the canucks
as for michelle... you also get a *high five* for randomly mentioning ufos : ) that made my day
The vlog
That was handy - I just got in from my French class and you're speaking French on the vlog! Aural practice is vital, so my teacher says! Great vlog, by the way. Obviously you already know as everyone says it, but it really is great fun to watch.
On the question of whether snails fall in the meat category...have sea snails and convince yourself they count as fish! You just need a bit of lateral thinking.
loved it!
The pole dancing sequence was amazing! I laughed so hard!...Michelle, did you really think you would make it through the blog without mentioning it? Nice try!
lmao at the Fiddy cent comment and at the DAMNYOU!, you are awesome! Michelle, you don't need editing software *smh* no no no, your blogs are awesome just as they are, keep it that way ;)
and seriously...why do ppl have conversations in the middle of a videoblog being shot? what are they thinking? hehehe
YAY for Marnie having a music video soon, I'll be looking forward to it :)
p.s. I'm not done watching the blog but I thought I would leave my comment, since my internet is being a pain in the ahem, and I have an essay to write...
p.s.2: you 2 are HOT!
"i don't suffer from insanity...i enjoy every minute of it"
A little something
I had a blast watching your vlog. Hilarious. Just wanted to thank you for spending time entertaining us. I followed the recap here though I've not watched the show so far and will never get the chance to watch the show on any of the channels in my country. We're just that little bit primitive over here with the censors
and media...oopps... I didn't write that.Anyway, in case anyone is wondering, I'm from Singapore. ^.^ Nope, it's not in China.
Lets try another language: 希望你们能拍第二季。加油!
Intercultural Question
I'd thought I'd provide the phonetics, and the english translation.
Traditional Mandarin:
希望 你們 可以 繼續 拍攝 第二季。加油! - Hope you can continue to shoot Season 2. Rock on!
Pinying Phonetics, Romanization:
Xīwàng nǐmen kěyǐ jìxù pāishè dìèrjì 。Jiāyóu!
Zhuyin Phonetics:
And I actually have a question, since "Exes & Ohs" have so many international fans around the globe, do you think those lesbian rules on the show could also be applied to other cultures (and, not to be redundant, I mean cultures which don't prosecute lesbians), or the rules are more American lesbian oriented? Rephrasing the question, do you think interaction between lesbians is kind of standard in all cultures?
PS: Michelle you were really hot on those photo-shots at the Power Up event, congrats on your award.
LOVE
you two are hilarious
and good lord, please speak more en francais!
i wish i had a question, but sadly i am bereft of witty things to ask.
:(
going to
Going to watch episode 4 again to hear the song. I hadn't really noticed it... Sorry:p But I'm sure it's awesome, haha! I finally bought the show on itunes, so I'm finally able to watch. I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH. It's now in my top 3 of favourite shows! Love, love, love, love! I'm not sure who is my favourite, but Chris and Kris are awefully cute together! Adore them. But I adore the rest too! *sigh* Sure hope there's going to be another season, and another one, and another one.
I wrote LOGO, and this is what I got back: Many of the videos on LOGOonline.com don't have rights to be streamed outside of the country at this time. Keep checking our website for up to date news and information on all your favorite Logo programming.
Yeah, really helpful...:p
And I guess snales is meat. So vegetarians can't eat it. But I don't know this for a fact.:p
I haven't really read all the comments of all the vlogs, so I don't know if it has been asked before, but I was wondering if all the actresses on the show are gay in real life, or not. It's a silly question, I know, and it doesn't make any diffirence, but I'm just curious:p
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=kisshester
Aww yay!
That was so great and hilarious. You two should do the vlogs together all the time. lol Not that I don't enjoy seeing you alone Michelle. You alone is just plain fucking funny.
I really hope there's a season 2. It so wouldn't be fair of Logo to tease us like that.
You did a wonderful job ladies!! Please continue!
p.s Sam is the hottest one on the show.....ha ha
Snails
"Schneckenfleisch"
Neither? Really, interesting..
Thanks, Hearer.
Then again, shouldn't good vegetarians stay away from snails anyway? ;-)
Will ask
a vegetarian who is also an "Oecotrophologe".
You ladies crack me up!
*lol* Great drum roll and trivia announcement in the first part of the vlog :)
Marnie, I'll play the guitar for ya :) I'm a mediocre player. But a darn good mediocre guitarist!
(I'm a bit of a sucker for Canucks... Heh.)
Michelle, your French is excellent! Whodathunkit? And could you ask any of your special guests to do the Xena call? (It makes very funny entertainment.)
Oh, I do hope there will be a S2!

Don´t you even think about editing ! You are wonderful just the way you are.
And just in case that you want to try a really exotic language, how about Hessisch ? Here is a sentence that would make you instantly loved by everyone in the beautiful state of Hesse:
"Ei, Gude, wie ? Gebb mer ma en Ebbelwoi."
You may also want to sing "Erbarme, zu spät, die Hesse komme." (It´s the Hessish anthem.)
Anyway, great vlog, great you, great Marnie !
I dread the day that the show is over and thus the vlog. Unless we can convince you to continue vlogging even without the show.
*starts writing email to Logo.com
"Dear Logo-people .... I want more of MP and since I can´t see the show in Germany (you should seriously do something about that !), I want to at least watch her vlog, therefore, please contract a second, third, fourth, fifth .... sixtyseventh season, with at least 22 hour-long episodes each. Thank you very much, Hearer."

I wrote to Logo some weeks ago; their answer:
At this point, the only places to view "Exes and Ohs" in full are on our channel, Logo On Demand, iTunes and Xbox Live. If you can't have access to any of these, we are sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully we will be able to offer the series as a DVD in the near future!
Vom Bembel
ins Geribbte, vom Geribbte in de Herbbert !
Now that is truly the answer we didn´t want to get, right ? A DVD ? When ? Do we have to become criminals ? Again ?
Anyway, Lebbe geht weider.
EDIT: Wait, XBox Live ???? What ? How does that work ? Does anybody know ?
xbox? no idea
The best vlog yet ...
You two are hilarious - and of course hot - together! When are you going to get Sam and Jennifer back together on the show? And, if not, how about flashbacks of the two of them when they were a couple - you could have vintage college hair and clothes!
I too wrote Logo to ask about a second season - and this is what they said to me:
At this point, since we are still running the 1st Season, we do not have any information regarding a 2nd Season of "Exes and Ohs".
I also love the music - how about doing a CD of the music of Exes and Ohs - including Marnie's song - which of course is hot :)
Finally, a totally random question - did you have Sam's parents look and act like Dick and Lynne Cheney on purpose? Seemed to fit the storyline - just askin'?
You both rock and hope Marnie will join you for your sixth episode vlog as well!
PS Your "damning" of the senior citizens was not very PC, but was very very funny!
:(
It's not letting me view the vids. Actually I've always had trouble viewing the afterellen .com vlogs like Michelle's interview with the afterelton guy (as oppose to the vlogs on veoh which I can see just fine). Oh please, anyone have an idea why?
ETA: I lowered the quality to "low" and it started but only in spurts (like half a second!) before it starts the "buffering" again. Argh!! Why can't these vlogs be on youtube? It would be so much easier. sigh.
Have you tried pressing
Have you tried pressing play, and then immediately pressing pause, leaving it for a while and then coming back to it?
A long road
http://www.asearchforlove.blogspot.com/
yay!
Finally got to the dang thing to play. I don't know what happened - maybe my internet connection was overloaded or something.
I got a XENA Call tip for Michelle (and Marnie): it's based on the tribal call of Afghani women (not sure what for). You have to wag your tongue up and down inside your mouth making sure to touch the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue.
Don't get me wrong, I love Michelle and Marnie's interpretation of the Xena Call, but I get the feeling they might be making a lot of male turkey's horny. lol
Question for Michelle
I saw that too!!!
Addendum.
Vegetarians: Hug your snail today...
So loving your vlogs, the Xena cry is kind of growing on me like moss on a tree. (Nice moss on a tree not gross moss) I dont have a question about the episode I missed it last week(Gasp!!).( I will hang myself after this just to let you know) But, what other music do you like in the hip hop genre besides Fiddie? Did you find the elderly people who interrupted you and really knock them over and if you filmed that could you put that on the next vlog?
Alright, I just listened to your Xena call again and please stop.
Marnie is hot and so are you, and if you were in a commercial for psoriasis medication, I would get it just because you are in the commercial. Ok - no i wouldn't.. what is psoriasis?
Yay for airplanes
angie featherstone!
ok, my turn for a request. PLEASE have angie featherstone on! she's beautiful and lovely. and michelle i have to say...you looked...jaw droppingly gorgeous at the powerup event. congrats on your award :)
and question for next week: as a canadian girl myself, i was wondering how all the non-canuck cast members found it working in vancouver/canada? any different than in the states?
also...michelle i'm very proud of you for having two fantastic canadian actors on the show (marnie and angie!)
keep up the great work!!!
~Renée
Good Luck for Season 2
I know with the writer's strike things are tense in the Entertainment industry. I am hoping that the show has been performing well for the network and once the strike is over season 2 is picked up. What I love about the show is how fun and smart the show is. When coupled with a cast as talented as you have it's must see tv.
I know you mentioned a link to send support for the series to Logo but was also wondering if you might have someone post a place to send snail mail as well. I understand written feedback can translate into greater reaction from networks.
Thanks for making a show that I can relate too and laugh in a great way with.
Congradulations on season 1. Fingers crossed with season 2.
Michele
one ticket to Paradise
ditto.
I second that.
I was wondering, did you feel any more empowered after taking pole dancing lessons?
omg, inbd
Well worth the wait!
Any chance...
that Michelle's vlogs will find their way to veoh or Daily Motion for others of us to watch? Please and thank you. :)
Snails
My two cents - since you already eat fish, it is ok to eat snails. However, a "true" vegetarian would eat neither. I have heard the phrase "semi-vegetarian" to describe your diet of fish only. But carnivore or not, I would never eat snails, like I never eat oysters. YUCK!!!
Love your blogs!!! Keep up the good work!!!
BTW, if you don't want elderly people in your blog, then don't film it at a nursing home. ;-) Sorry, I couldn't resist.
So, they filmed the vlog at your place ?
"then don't film it at a nursing home."
That was so funny. Sorry, couldn´t resist either ... and am just kidding ! I´d move in right away if MP filmed her vlog there regularly (I´d be eligible, agewise).
*insert laughing emoticon here*
WOW SOOO FUNNNY+
Really great vblog and it`s great that you guys could talk about the music love ya so hot as always michelle i`m your number one peruvian fan haha
i have a special request if it`s not to much bother could you please give the name of the song of the pilot that plays in the scene where Jen is hooking up with the strange woman on the storage room i just LOVE tha song i would apreciate it a lot if you could give me that info thanks guy keep up the GREAT job
Every Generation Needs a NEW Revolution---->Itty Bitty Tiddy Commitee =D
When will you know if the show is renewed?
I bought the Season Pass for Season 1 of Exes & Ohs, and I'll write in to LogoOnline as a rabid fan of the show. I'm not as interested in the stuffed Beever as I am in a DVD collection of the first season. And if there is a DVD collection, Michelle should include her vlog episodes in them.
When will you guys (cast & crew of Exes & Ohs) know whether or not your show is renewed? Is there a deadline? Will we have to wait an entire year for another season? Inquiring minds need to know!
