I wish Bravo over here was like in the US. In the UK it caters to straight men so it's all about cars, criminals and topless porn stars.Boo to that, I want Housewives and Kathy Griffin!
'Donna Summer told me the Lord should wash my mouth out with soap. Donna Summer who sang Bad Girls!'
Bravo is definitely my favorite network.
It has some quality shows that are legitimately good and others that, while trashy, can at least be guilty pleasures. I love Kathy Griffin's My Life On The D-List and, while embarassing, also enjoy The Rachel Zoe Project and Flipping Out. Though I will say that NYC Prep and Miami Social are fucking awful and I don't know what they were thinking.
I never got in to the 'Real Housewives..' series, though I did happen to see the season finale of the last series with the chick from New Jersey who went apeshit and almost flipped a dining room table over. Absolutely amazing.
Only thing we have on is the radio...
Well we're getting "..Housewives.." on Channel 4 next week and we always have E! for Ms. Griffin.Originally Posted by Smoke My Cigar

The C4 ad for this has a really annoying quote from one of the housewives - "I really don't like you as a person". As a person? But she likes her as a hippo?!
It's = it is/it has. Its = its.
I'm pissed the C4 advert doesn't have 'PROSTITUTION WHORAHHH!! You were fucking engaged 19 times?!!'

I have to bump this thread to share these hilarious parodies of the Real Housewives that US chatshow host Bonnie Hunt did with Niecy Nash from 'Reno 911' - the first was done in November 2008 and the second just came out last month. Both are laugh out loud funny.

"Sometimes I hate myself for wanting you, but then you only have to say you love me to make it worth it..."
I cant wait for the reunion. in ATL, its weird how Nene was my favorite last year and she's become increasingly annoying as this season progressed. All the positive attention she has gotten has really gone to her head. Shes all "Hollywood" now. Kim still delivers the goods despite being a crazy bitch. And I've really taken a liking to Kandi. She is so sweet.
It's all about Kim & Kandi for me this season, NeNe seems to have gotten way too big (literally) for her boots this season. I'm surprised to hear the rumours that Shit By Sheree is being axed this season, I mean I don't like her much but there's no denying she brings the drama. Lisa on the other hand is one of the most pointless human beings ever.Originally Posted by TongueNCheek
I love Bonnie and Niecy's spoofs! I've seen them both so many times and they're still as funny as hell!Originally Posted by WowWowWowWow

I've been watching some of the "New Jersey" series on channel 4 (UK) and boy is it addictive. So crazy and trashy - it's like "The Hills" done right, replacing young blonde airheads with middle-aged, over surgeried mothers and wives. Genius.
This whole saga with one of the housewives' past being in a book that insinuated she was involved in mob crime and prostitution, and the other ones hating her... And then everything boiling over at a dinner party with tables being thrown around... Brilliant stuff. You couldn't make it up. I'm watching the reunion just now, ha!
I'm so glad RHofOC season 5 starts tonight! I know a lot of people feel it's a bit more mellow than the other shows but I love it! Vicki and Tamra are all kinda of amazing, shame Jeana's leaving though as she tended to be the mediator of the group, without her there those bitches are going to be pulling hair like crazy!
'Donna Summer told me the Lord should wash my mouth out with soap. Donna Summer who sang Bad Girls!'
I love the Orange County series too. I can't believe Gretchen is with Slade now!
But yeah, i will be watching. It really is a guilty pleasure but I just can't stop!
Is that the "Prostitution Whore" thing? I saw a clip of it on Youtube and it was AMAZING.Originally Posted by angelX
Between that and the "Tardy For the Party" thread, I think I'd like to give these shows a try. Where should I start? There are about five of them, right? Which is funniest? Also, do the different shows interact at all (ie should I watch a certain one first in case characters cross over?)
There hasn't been any 'crossovers' that I can think of but they have referenced other housewives on some of the shows. You'd probably be best to start off with Orange County as it was the first and there is more of it BUT I'll warn you the first 3 seasons can be pretty dull at times (Tammy, Kimberley and Quinn are fucking snoozefests), but season 4 is fantastic and you'll wonder how you ever lived without Vicki Gunvalson in your life (seriously!) OC is a lot more mellower than the other shows but it's by no means less entertaining, it's just not as ridiculously nasty as Atlanta, as bitchy as NYC or as ridiculous as New Jersey.Originally Posted by hamghost

*wikis*
8 episodes a season? That's not too bad, I was expecting 20-odd episodes per season to catch up on! I'll start with OC then, thanks very much.
Edit: Oops, I see now that the number of episodes increases season-by-season. Still, the most is 15 or so and that's still manageable!
No problem. The episode numbers go up as the seasons progress though, the last season of OC had 14 episodes and the final episode of Atlanta season two is on tonight which is episode 15. Good luck with it, but I warn you, once you begin it can become pretty addictive after a while! Whatever you do do NOT watch episodes of NYC one after the other without being prepared to have a major headache afterwards, all that bitching gets too much after a while!Originally Posted by hamghost
Random question but who is everyones favourite housewives over the shows? Sadly I can't say I really like any of the women from NJ but my favourites definatly on the other shows are:
Vicki Gunvalson (OC)
Tamra Barney (OC)
Ramona Singer (NYC - as featured in my avatar)
Kim Zolciak (ATL)
Kandi Burruss (ATL)
Throw in Bethenny Frankel or creepy-assed Silex (NYC) and that could make for the best Housewives series ever.
'Donna Summer told me the Lord should wash my mouth out with soap. Donna Summer who sang Bad Girls!'
I'm honestly loving this latest season of Orange County (though I know a lot of people disagree and are saying it's boring etc) but I always liked how this original series is a bit lighthearted compared the the other cities. The only things that are bugging me this year is that a) Gretchen is still there b) the new housewife Alexis is really frustrating ("We put God first in our lives, then ourselves, then our children" Your children last, really?) and c) that Lynne's daughters are still breathing. They're both the biggest wastes of space on reality TV.
Oh and I really DID NOT need to see Slade Slimey naked in a cock sock *vomits*
Kim and NeNe flipped in the seasons, for sure. I LOVED NeNe in season one, I didn't think she could put a foot wrong but then it seems her ego got control of her. Which isn't really a bad thing as Kim was really able to shine in season two, I think we saw the real her compared to the drag queen mess we saw in season one.Originally Posted by 3Xs
I was sad when it was confirmed Jeana was leaving the show, she was always the peacemaker between the other women and like you said was always a bit nuts, but to be honest I don't miss her actually. I think her time was up on the show, now. Plus did you see the fight at Lynne's trunk show in the season premiere? She just took everyone's leftovers and sat there through the fight. Plus I can actually understand why Vicki never loaned her the money, because Jeana always slates Vicki for working too hard but Vicki doesn't let her money control her like Jeana does, which is why V is the only OC housewife this year that doesn't have some sort of money struggle. New housewife Alexis....meh.
At the time I loved NJ for the drama, but looking back the one thing I found was I didn't really like any of the women on the show. Teresa was fun and the table flip was insane, Jacqueline was sweet and I had an odd interest in Danielle but other than that there was no one who I really 'felt' for. But if they pull another table flip out of the bag this year then it may all change of course. Did you know Jaq's daughter has been to court for ripping out Danielle's hair extensions? 'PROSTITUTION WHO-RE!' That's the one thing I always find amazing about these shows. How they can go from best friends to worst enemies between seasons!
It's all about batshit crazy Ramona on NYC for me. My avatar on here was here and her crazy eyes a while back!
'Donna Summer told me the Lord should wash my mouth out with soap. Donna Summer who sang Bad Girls!'
Oh my god I LIVED for 'PROSTITUTION WHO-RE!' a few months back! As for the women, I loved Theresa, kind of like the Jersey version of Kim in that they are both ditsy but lovable and make questionable parenting choices. Danielle's story was just too good to be true, straight out of The Sopranos! Dina and Caroline were great too. And "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT MY FAMILY! WE ARE AS THICK AS THEIVES AND WE PROTECT EACH OTHER UNTIL THE VERY END!!" will always have a special place in my heart. And as for Jacqueline, she needs to make like Deshaun and HIT THE ROAD! The only reason to keep her on the show would be for Danielle to have an ally against Dina and Caroline. I really cannot wait for season 2. The first season was like a supernova, it was just SO explosive I don't know how they will ever top it!Originally Posted by Smoke My Cigar
And to me, I like all four a lot and for different reasons. But my favorites in order would have to be: 1. ATL 2. NJ 3. OC 4. NYC
And did you hear they are doing Real Housewives of Washington D.C.? Apparently it is going to star that couple that broke into the White House a few weeks back and they are trying to get some wives of senators. D.C. could either be dreadfully boring or totally explosive! I want to see some senator caught by one of the housewives in a sex scandal! Hopefully Bravo can pull one out of the bag with D.C.
I do believe I read that they already have a season's worth of footage on the Salahis and that the White House crashing would be the season finale!Originally Posted by 3Xs
Well the thing is Jacqueline now actually hates Danielle so it's pretty messed up to me. Like you said Jaq should hit the road but as much as I did like Danielle how is this season going to work if all the other women hate her? The cast always get together for a party of sorts for the very last episode and I think this years on NJ could be extreme - I wouldn't be surprised if Teresa stabbed Danielle this time!
I like NYC, especially at first as it's so bitchy but after a while it kind of gives you a headache because all they do every episode is bitch about one another non-stop. And Jill has to be the most annoying person on TV, I don't understand why so many people like her at all.
DC should be interesting, especially if the Salahi(?) couple make it onto the show, but the first seasons of RH can either be two things, dull or amazing. ATL and NJ both had amazing first seasons, the others not so much.

Oh my god. This is going to be all kinds of crazy! Now with 5 spins offs my life will be consumed by these crazy, middle-aged women!! But then again, I'd rather be obsessed with the Housewives than the "Hills" girls any day.Originally Posted by Charley!
I'm shocked they never did Real Housewives of Miami! Some fiesty and sexy Latina women to spice things up! That, and I thought they would have done one in Texas, maybe Houston or something.
And I always wonder if they will ever do an international version of the show. Like, Real Housewives of London or something. I don't know if the American audience would want to watch though, but I'd love to see some crazy British bitches fighting over a cup of tea! Bahahaha!
If anyone ever got stabbed or shot on the Real Housewives my life would be complete. Not that I would want the to DIE per say. Just get stabbed and survive for the sake of the show!Originally Posted by Smoke My Cigar
And yeah, I don't know how season 2 of New Jersey will work. Unlike the other shows, the Jersey women seem very real and like they actually know/care/ hang out together more than just the occasional lunch date. The other 4 women are basically family and Dina and Caroline have wiped their hands of Danielle. Unless they are going to force her into situations with the other women I don't see how Danielle will continue to start drama on the show. Because Caroline definitely isn't having that shit from her! I wouldn't be surprised if they went the way of O.C. and NYC and add another housewife to freshen things up.
And I agree about Jill, she is SO annoying! Love Bethanny, she was CLASSIC in her confrontation with Kelly at the bar. For me, NYC is all about Ramona, Alex (who is NYC's version of Vicki and Sheree) and Kelly. And I was just on Wikipedia and they are adding TWO new housewives to NYC! Sonja Morgan, will be the seventh housewife and Jennifer Gilbert I guess will replace Bethanny halfway through the next season as Bethanny now has her own show.
I love Bethenny too, she's fucking funny but the one thing I really dislike about her is that she can dish out criticism of everyone so easily yet can not take any criticism of herself at all. The Countess (or Cuntess as she's known online) annoys me as does Kelly I have to say and despite my hatred for Alex and Simon at first, they're creepily amazing to watch. There's just something about how strange they are that keeps me hooked! I did hear about the 2 new housewives, I think I read they're reserves or something, one of course for Bethenny and another because they're likely to axe The Countess by the end of this season. Although I'm not a fan of Kelly 'We're not friends. I'm here and you're here' will go down as one of the best moments on reality TV ever. For all the wrong reasons, though!Originally Posted by 3Xs
I wouldn't be surprised if a friend of Danielle's joined NJ, or are we expected to just watch her and her kids every episode? Gotta say I really despise Dina, I don't know, she's like the high school popular bitch that thinks she's better than everyone else. That's how I see her on the show anyway. I literally cringed when she asked the blatantly gay assistant whether she could pay him by other means if she was low on cash one week.
'Donna Summer told me the Lord should wash my mouth out with soap. Donna Summer who sang Bad Girls!'
Oh I hate the Cuntess as well, she's such an uppity bitch who thinks she knows it all. Plus she's always pushing that damn "etiquette" book. As for Kelly, I HATED her while I watched the season. But looking back I realize that the show would not have been half as entertaining without her on it. The fight with Bethanny was classic, and the Halloween Party incident was amazing too. I actually cannot believe someone could be THAT airheaded! She is easily the dumbest housewife from ANY of the shows. Like at the NYC reunion she was denying everything, acting like it never happened, and being a total bitch to Andy! She is great TV, but she is a pretty horrible person from what they show of her on TV.
Two of Paris Hilton’s aunts will be starring in the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!
More information on Kim and Kyle Richards and a third Real Housewife here!
WOW! That should be interesting!
Am I the only one who feels there are getting to be too many spin offs? There is already 4, then DC and Beverly Hills would make 6! Plus, Beverly Hills is SO close to OC! I think they should have spread it out more! Miami would have been perfect! Or maybe one in Texas or Chicago, maybe even London!
This is all going to be A LOT to keep up with! I think Bravo should reconsider, this is how VH1 killed themselves in the last few years. They took the brilliant Flavor Of Love and made a bazillion spin offs! I mean, I Love New York and Rock Of Love were fine, but now we have contestants of contestants of contestants getting shows!
Anyway, if anyone is still reading this long ass post, I say all that to say, Bravo may be killing their own brand with all these spin offs. Or maybe I'm wrong, and the more the better! Haha!
