Can anyone explain these shows to me? People must watch them or they wouldn’t keep making them, but I kind of am not getting them.
It’s a bunch of rich and/or good-looking people being awful to each other. It never gets old!
The Real Housewives of Buffalo… I’d love to see it. My best friend’s mom, growing up, was a redhead from Buffalo.
Different strokes for different folks. I could say the same about Monday night football.
Well, I did used to like soaps which is kind of the same thing I guess. The major difference is that I could live in my naive belief that real people didn’t actually behave that way. Maybe Housewives would work better for me if they weren’t pretending to be real.
The only version I’ve watched faithfully is Atlanta. Those bitches know how to bring the entertainment.
I wish someone would do a low-rent version. Follow me, my daughter, her BF, and my son (visiting from Seattle) as we get in my '99 Camry, stop at Casey’s for Bud Light, jerky, and chips, and travel to the boonies to visit my favorite SIL and her husband. SIL already has a buzz on at noon. Her husband comes in from fishing with a mess of northern and one of their dogs, a Shitzu-bulldog cross with muddy feet who jumps on everybody. Other relatives show up with more beer, and we look at photos of the three sisters (all in their 60’s) at the last Buddy Holly Reunion, in their pink poodle skirts and saddle shoes. The Cairn terrier (she calls it the “carrion” terrier) chases ducks and barks at a pen full of quail.
As the sun sets, we walk around the yard gathering peacock feathers.
Now isn’t that better than horseback riding at a winery?
The people who crashed the White House state dinner are on the DC version of the show. (It was filmed before they did it.) That’s why I watched initially - I was curious about them. I kept watching because it is an EPIC TRAINWRECK.
Then I watched the reruns of the New Jersey version and I realized that DC is actually a fenderbender in comparison to what they got up to on that show. They actually kicked the biggest troublemaker off the show after the most recent season and I have to say it’s a good thing - they’re heading into serious violence territory over there.
It’s just another example of Freak-TV. I wish this trend would die a nasty death, but as long as people desire to see other people suffering, there’s little I can do but change the channel.
Four women, all named Joanne, with nasal Buffalo eyacksints? No thanks.
My favorite is Real Housewives of NY. Though NJ is a close second. I’m watching DC but it’s really stupid.
And no, I don’t know why I watch it. I’m an educated, intelligent young person. But I can’t help it. A Real Housewives a thon starts up and I’m glued to the TV. Help!
