Gah! Put out my eyes in disbelief! ("Real Wives" show)

Real Wives of Orange County (or something like that). I woke up from a small nap on the couch to see that this was playing on my tv where before there’d been something worth watching (obviously, hence the nap).

I was like a rabbit in the headlights, yelling for my husband to come and see the nasty skanks. Apparently this is a ‘real’ show - with nasty “she’s SOOOOO my bestfriend (to camera - “I hate her perfect hair/tan/vag”)” and I have learned that when your husband to be is only prepared to spend 2.1 m on your new house, as opposed to the 3.4m you want, you are within your rights to call him a ‘cheaparse’ and ask him ‘do you really love me and want me to be happy or what’ so-called women.

Seriously - I am now convinced that money does not buy talent, good social graces, manners or class. These women are horrible. And they interrupted a perfectly good drool-on-the-cushion nap. Bitches.

I was sure that you were going to get to the story about one of the women’s son being arrested for not only possessing heroin, but selling it. This just happened a couple days ago. I know it’s wrong to find happiness in stories like this, but, in the very little I’ve seen of the show, it’s very hard to be sympathetic for these people.

No biggie, you’ll know for next time. It’s just more courteous to other readers to have a descriptive thread title.

I like the show. Some of the women are fun to watch because they’re absolute trainwrecks or straight-up psychotic (Vicki), but a few of them seem to be genuinely nice women who happen to live a very lavish lifestyle. It can be fun seeing them deal with their family and friends.

The problems surrounding the boy in the link that mshar253 posts, for example, have been adressed on the show several times.

Now, Real Housewives of New York City I just find boring.

Was that ever in question?
