[NWR] Let's talk Real Housewives

So I've religiously watched most of the Real Housewives franchises for years (guilty pleasure). My favorites are New York, New Jersey, and OC. I've never been able to get into Atlanta, though. I was catching up on my Real Housewives last night, watching this week's episodes of RHONY and RHOC. I am sort of realizing how absolutely awful the New York franchise has gotten. It makes me sad, because when RHONY was in their hey-day, I used to love watching it and especially loved Ramona. Now Ramona is just an old, pathetic, wine-o. Kinda depressing to watch actually. I was thinking about you ladies when Ramona and Sonja bring specifically order an A/C unit to delivered the the lady's house in the boonies. Ummm... seriously??? TACK-EEE. I think Countess Luann was right- money certainly doesn't buy you class.

On the flipside, I love RHOC.. Just seems fresher and more fun, and I think it helps that some of the girls are friends in real life. Although I was bummed that Gretchen and Alexis are gone, I think the mix of ladies they've got this year works pretty well.

    I love New York, New Jersey, and Beverly Hills. I've never cared for OC & Atlanta, though. 

    Ramona's crazy eyes scare the shit out of me. That is all.

  • I watch them all. Ramona is acting foolish because during the summer she found her hubby was cheating on her with a Look alike of the chick she threw the glass at.I am excited for New Jersey though.

    Live fast, die young. Bad Girls do it well. Suki Zuki.

  • I feel like NY hasn't been on in ages, and since I gave up reality TV for Lent, I didn't see the beginning. Haven't gotten back on board. Missed the beginning of OC too apparently. 

    Always been a fan of OC and BH especially. Hated Miami, couldn't get on board with Atlanta or DC.

    I adored Gretchen, I'm sorry to hear she's off. 

    Tamra's wedding.... loved the draped flower vine in lieu of a regular bouquet! Wanted to steal that, but didn't.

    OMG I totally forgot about Miami. I only watched one season for some reason. I thought that the chick with the plastic surgeon husband was a little batty (in a made for TV way). I enjoyed her. Oh, and her opening credits comment about her body being her husband's greatest creation?? Yikes.

  • Atlanta is my FAV O RITE, has been for a long time. I really need to make a signature with a NeNe gif. I am annoyed with the casting right now because I DETEST Kenya. She is truly horrible. WORST. I have also really loved their wedding spinoffs. Kandi's is going to start soon and I am super excited.

    I watched Miami a few times, some episodes were funny, but I can not get into any of the other ones. I'll watch BH on the rare occasion, but that's about the extent of it. Jersey fucking terrifies me, mostly because it's scary Theresa hasn't gotten that hairline threaded yet, also because she and her shitty husband are bsc.

  • I am a sucker for them all. They are my guilty pleasure... even though I don't feel guilty watching them.

     WTH is up with Ramona this season?? Yes, she has always been a bit of a witch, but DAMN she is being awful this season.

    I get that "behind-the-scenes" they plan stuff out to make drama, but she has just been openly hostile and manipulative!

  • Yeah I used to love Ramona, she was my one of my favorites of all the Housewives. She actually used to remind me of my mom in a lot of (positive) ways. Just being goofy, care free, outgoing, etc. But now she just drinks All.The.Damn.Time. Maybe can do a Real Housewives: Intervention spin off.

    It gives me ideas of what upscale restaurants I want to try when I visit. I miss living in GA.

    I did see them at my favorite pizza place (Fritti) in one episode - honestly I was a little surprised because it's not that upscale.

  • My friend saw NeNe at Atlanta Fish Market one time. WOOWOO! lol

    I will never forget how mad I was that I wasn't in GA when Kim had that yard sale, did you see how much her dad was selling all her shit for??!?!?!?! I would've bought damn near everything.

  • OC, Beverly Hills, and NY are my favorites. I can't get into Atlantic or NJ.

    I agree that NY has gotten weird lately. I love Heather (except for her "holla" tagline), but I feel kind of bad for Sonja, she seems like a hot mess. And what the hell are with the awful taglines this season??

    OC is also really good. Tamra is my favorite, I think this season will be great.

  • Real Housewives are my guilty pleasure too. I watch all of them, however Miami is my least favorite. 

    I love Carol, Heather and Kristen on NY. Ramona is just so crazy now. She's always been nuts, but this season it's hard to watch. Knowing that her and Mario split, I guess it sort of makes sense. But throwing a wine glass at Kristen's face - holy shitballs! And Sonja is hard to watch as well. I hope next season they're both gone. Sonja is extremely delusional. And her dumb tag line in the opener make NO sense. It really annoys me. 

    Atlanta was good this season too. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Phaedra and Apollo. 
  • Guilty as charged here as well.

    I've missed most of NY this year, but I stopped watching that one regularly after Jill left (yes, it's been a while).  I'm a big fan of OC, BH and NJ.  I'm not sure if NJ will be the same without Caroline.  I like BH because I remember Kyle & Kim on TV and in movies from when they were kids.  I thought Miami sucked and I had a brief fling with Atlanta.

    I have only watched BH and OC on a regular basis, although I did catch a scene in RHOA where one of them thought the underground railroad was a real railroad train.

  • Forgot about OC! I love the new girl Lizzie. And even though she can be a total snob, I love Heather. And Terry. Shannon - eeehhhh. 
  • @ClimbingBrideNY - I love Heather, even with some of her fancypants, condescending ways.  She always strikes me as trying to be above the drama, doesn't always work, but I feel like she brings some sanity to the show.  Not sure about Lizzie yet.  Shannon puts my teeth on edge.

    This.  She is freaking crazy!  Then she makes it out like she is the victim and not the poor girl with the bloody lip.

    Oh and the woman with the fake leg (I can't remember her name), cussing in front of a group of kids and then got all defensive when Kristen was like "that was inappropriate."

    As for the RHW of Atlanta, I just read that Apollo plead guilty to check fraud and could get up to 30 years in jail.

    And I know violence is never the answer but I was so happy when that one girl grabbed the shit out of Kenya and yanked her to the ground.  She deserved to be brought back down to earth.

    All in all I love anything on Bravo!

    I loved Lydia from last season. She was very stealthy in her shit stiring.
  • Omg. Aviva cursing in front of the kids was BANANAS!

    Ugh I totally agree with the awful taglines. The "Sometimes Sonja has to go commando" thing is just weird and wrong. I feel really bad for her. It's not as fun to watch when people's life are for real messed up. I agree with switching out Sonja and Ramona after this season to. I'm over it, sad to say.

  • For the first time in over a year, I asked FI if we should think about getting cable back. I blame this thread. And Andy Cohen.

    When I heard about Apollo's fraud charges, I IMMEDIATELY wondered if it had anything to do with that scammy-sounding asset recovery stuff he was starting up probably the second season Phaedra was on the show. It  all smacked of number-running like he'd been involved in before. Sheisty shiiiiit lol

    Kenya is so obviously disliked by everyone in the group, and I just really can't stand her. At the reunions, everyone else might mutter a little or roll their eyes when she talks, but they let her say her piece. BUT, as soon as Andy asks any of the other ladies anything, if they say anything Kenya might not like, she busts a blood vessel and starts screaming and gets out a damn prop.

    I will be so super fucking excited if she doesn't come back.

  • Keyna and her props! Gah! She's the worst. 
  • I don't think what Porsha did was correct, but I could understand getting that pissed and getting hood on somebody when they take it to that level of shenanigans. Those reunions go LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG too, it had probably been at least a couple hours of Kenya's bullshit by that point.

    What did you think of Phaedra's Read to Kenya?

    Live fast, die young. Bad Girls do it well. Suki Zuki.

  • I get quite enough of Phaedra sometimes, but this was me for the duration of her speech:

    in addition to choking on my drink and scaring the dog from laughing so hard. Fucking 'medium pizza' almost ended my life. I could not handle how crazy and FUNNY that shit was.

    Also, Casper the Friendly Boyfriend and KENMORA IS ACROSS DE STREET and her getting caught in that lie about the Ferrari, I was just reveling in schadenfreude. So good.
