Maybe if the majority weren't so boring and annoying. And not funny annoying either. Just plain ole annoying.

I agree, I admit indulging in The Real Housewives OC, but there is more history between the cast, and it makes more sense. I watched quite a few episodes but inevitably was so disgusted by their inhumanity, frankly, I flipped to King of Queens reruns instead - yeah, that's bad.

I ditto that thought. It seems like they just threw some women together. Some who sort of knew each other and a few who didn't even know each other. I think part of the fun with the OC houswives was their friendships.

I am glad that I got to see Ramona and her cringe worthy antics.

At least now I am relieved to know that there is one person on this earth who is crazier than I am.

I seriously had to look away from Ramona several times.

But come on… Bethenny is one of the funniest reality characters. I would laugh out loud every episode, she's hysterical! Jill too. Alex sucked, we know this and Ramona is a wack job. But the OC ladies had to build their friendships over the course of the show too. Just give this time, it'll grow on you. Maybe?

ps - is it 5 o'clock yet?? good god!!!

I love Bethenny. I liked her sharp wit.

I'm a native New Yorker. The fact that a bunch of Long Island & Staten Island women are posing as "real New Yorkers" kills me. Real New York women, housewives or not are 1000 times cooler and more intelligent, and they know how to raise and discipline kids. This show is a joke…

so they need the cash?

It's not about them "needing the cash". These women seem to attribute thier self-worth to cash. If someone else is getting more than them (or a better seat at a fashion show), they feel slighted and put on someone's back burner. They are atrocious and the epitome of what most people hope to never become, aside from the filthy rich thing.

I definitely watched the show, but only bc it was the biggest trainwreck in the history of TV. Like QUEENCRONE I cringed and looked away at many of Ramona's scene. Especially the one where she was dancing, if thats what you want to call it. When it waas replayed on the reunion show she was laughing like she was amazing.

Then there are those voices! Jill and Ramona both make me turn my volume down. Their voices and their abuse of the English language grate on my poor unsuspecting nerves.

Bethenny can make me laugh, but she seems as if she is medicated (legally or illegaly). Even Jill mentioned after the "skewer in the eye" incident that she needed to change her meds. Something tells me she wasnt kidding. She's a little too desperate about Jason, and should never have been living with him so soon. She does, however, have a sick body, even if her boobs are fake.

When the show first started Alex was my least favorite, but after the reunion and the way the other girls attacked her I have changed my mind. She did actually handle herself with class in a very hostile environment. I myself would have been in tears.

LuAnn appears to have class, but actually just uses the show to talk behind the other girls backs. She gets in her digs, just with a smile and a very collected demeanor. She still is very, very beautiful though.

The way the girls bashed Alex and Simon about their home was unforgiveable. You can have money and enjoy the process of renovating a house. If they are doing the work themselves then it can take awhile. I know, I've renovated several homes. The area where they live actually looks quite beautiful.

I really enjoyed the show. Loved Bethenny, Jill &
LuAnn . Hated Ramona,,she was just so
out into left field in reference to real life.
Alex needs to get a carpenter and spend
some money on her children's clothes ( or maybe
iron them{ Looking forward to next year
If you want to see real life come to Brigantine
New Jersey… We are the real deal.

The editing makes all think certain ways and portrays certain archetype triggers, so that we will be interested and watch the show.

That being said, I saw Alex's "risque pictures".

MY GOOD LORD.

Let me tell you, after I saw those, I went back to eating my lunch too, like Bethenny said.

But I wholeheartedly believe that the woman needs some best girlfriends who care about her.

(Katie Holmes is another one who could have used some good friends and now it's too late.)

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Usernet friends or physical friends, it makes no difference. Friends don't let friends do this mess.

Here is what I liked about Alex. She could rock a bad hair day on camera and still keep her attitude, like she MEANT it to look like that.

I have bad hair. I KNOW about bad hair days.

I never saw so many classless women who think they are so special in my life! PLEASE bring back the girls from the OC! Never ever put us through another NY episode! They're horrible!
