1. yes, I did
got to watch 3 women & a man bully another woman for over an hour & pontificate on how much better people than are than she is. :eyes:

All I can say is that if someone got in my face, screeching like that & threatening me physically, I would not have calmly stood up & walked off the set. *SOMEONE* would have been pasted to the floor, & it wouldn't have been me. ;)

6. It was kind of a Danielle witch hunt last night
Teresa and Jackie were egging on the situation. They are all (except for maybe Caroline and Dina) are a mess. I love the husbands, though. They all remind me of Ricky Ricardo, rolling their eyes when their lucy-like wives are doing something crazy.

12. Some of it has gotta be staged
some of the antics on this show are pretty far from normal human behavior, some of this stuff has gotta be made up.

13. Some of the "scenes" are definitely staged
but the chase through the country club wasn't & ended in criminal charges being filed against someone's out of control kid.

25. Danielle got what was coming to her.
She's easily the most disgusting of the lot.

2. Me! I love the 'Real Housewives' shows --
Though my favs are still orange county and new York.

A never ending Trashy Trainwreck.

Love it.

4. I like the OC and NYC wives
I wish they would bring Dina back to the NJ wives. I liked her.

I haven't really watched the DC wives, and I just cannot get into the Atlanta show.
While watching this last night, I couldn't help but wonder just how much of this is staged and how much is real....as big and strong-looking as Teresa is, it seems to me that she could have easily plowed right over Andy Cohen and been in the green room all over Danielle when she was in the middle of her fit last night.

8. Is OC done?
That's the one that I -- :blush: -- started watching and got hooked on.

I saw some of the DC show and I can't get past the Salahis -- all I can say is there is a fine line between fame whoring/star f---- and stalking.

10. They are going to show the atlanta ones next up :(
I wish they would hurry and bring back the OC and NYC ones, the Jersey ones have grown on me, and I just cannot get into the DC ones, watched the 1st show, meh...the 2nd show changed the channel after about 10 minutes.

18. The final of OC just seemed so...final.
The last season just kind of played itself out so that it felt like it was the end. Jeana, however, is going to be on this Thintervention show with Jackie Warner. To me she was the only one that was "real" on that show. The amount of crap she took -- especially from her oldest son -- was sad.

I hope she does well in thintervention. I hope they come back with the OC wives.

3. Just saw the commercials....
I watched some of the last few episodes Sunday and that was really enough for me.

But I did have to laugh at the promo that showed one of the women (Teresa?) throwing Andy Cohen back down into his chair.

5. Teresa turns into the hulk when she is mad haha
she flings tables, chases Danielle, throws pillows, flings Andy Cohen like a washcloth.

14. Don't tell her to "pay attention"
she really freaks out if you do. She's got no impulse control & horrid parenting skills.

27. Just saw a clip of this.
Oh my gawd. LOL. Poor Andy Cohen smack in the middle of it all -- I could hear him thinking "WHY did I think ever think this series was a good idea?"

And I just love how Danielle starts shit and then cries that she's the victim.

I've seen all I care to see of this particular franchise, thanks very much.

7. Love it, love it, love it
Danielle is a freak show. Teresa needs psychiatric help. Gotta love Caroline.

11. Caroline and Dina seem to be the most stable of them all
Danielle is a mess, I feel kinda sorry for her kids, it must be hard to be on a show in the first place, but then mom is doing all her crazy stuff, the kids at school have gotta talk to them about it.

16. These shows have as much connection to reality as Glenn Beck does.

24. Yes I watched it
I know Bravo plays us like a fiddle, and that some of the NJ drama this year had to be staged, but it made me very uncomfortable to watch the mean girls 3-1 against Danielle.

I also think Danielle's kids are wayyyyyyy better than Caroline's awful kids and that thug Ashley.

My favorite is the NYC show. I have had trouble watching DC. Maybe I'll get into it after a while.

There's a Beverly Hills one starting next month.

26. oh really? I might like the Beverly Hills one
Edited on Tue Aug-31-10 08:50 PM by carlyhippy
I just can't get into the DC one, I have always watched all the real housewives show, but the DC one is boring to me.

28. It is boring
and that English woman is unwatchable.

BHill might be interesting, because it's got Kelsey Grammar's (soon to be ex) wife, who I don't think knew she was going to be an ex whan it was filmed.

29. I think Danielle should let Teresa hit her...
clearly Teresa is the girl who didn't get enough attention in high school...

and all she could say about her money troubles was "some of it" isn't true...
