margokorin Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm guessing this is really going to happen, as it has now been reported several places. Personally, I couldn't be more pleased! This show is my guilty plessure and to have it in my home town would make it even more juicy. So far the names I've heard mentioned have been Franklin Roses wife and or daughter, Jeff Bagwells wife, The hand SUrgeon, Dr. Brown (who has a rather checkered past, to say the least) wife. I think she is #4. Anyone else know anything about this? Where do you think they'll hang out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Thanks, Margo, you provided me with the belly laugh of the day.I agree that its a train wreck, but I will let my GF watch it in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Where will they hang out? Hrm... prolly at their local CiCi's pizza place. Lol. And you're right, rico. One of my girlfriends loves this sort of... stuff. This might prove to be the perfect distraction for her. Lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little frau Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I don't really get this type show although I've never watched an episode. I've only seen bits and pieces, usually on the late night talk shows.Why would women want to put all their business out there? Is it the money??

ricco67 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I don't get the psychology about it either, but I do believe it's simply a case of hyper-narcissism that draw people to it.MY guilty pleasure, "True Beauty" and "Wipeout" is coming on. If I only did drugs, Wipeout would be hysterical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgriff Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I just found out that one of my friends was asked to audition. I had no idea she was that much of a socialite. It would be great to have someone I know on the show so I can see how fake the whole thing really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Don't be tardy for the party! This is awesome news. I love RH. No more apologizing for it either! If watching these damaged, brittle shrews is wrong, why does it feel so right? Deconstructing 'Lost': booooooring.

20thStDad Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Americans' desire to watch idiotic shows like this proves that we are doomed to lose our place as top dog sooner rather than later.

I look at it like diet; in the past month or so I've read some thoroughly interesting and wholesome books on macroeconomic history. For my empty calories, it's Real Housewives and waiting for Mad Men to hurry up and get back on air with new episodes (preferably with Jon Hamm shirtless).

It would be great to have someone I know on the show so I can see how fake the whole thing really is.Yeah, I'd be interested in her take on the show. I wouldn't watch it but I'd sure follow your posts about the goings on if you were so inclined.And, I got the impression that all the gals on NJ housewives were friends 'before'. How can producers pick and choose a group of women, plop them down somewhere and expect them to be life long buddies?? Would they even want to do things together? I'm just not buying it, how can it be reality if it's not real. Oh, maybe that's the point.Now, if there had been a camera in that airplane when Osteen's wife had that hissy fit, that would have been reality.

KinkaidAlum Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I readily admit that this is where I get my gay on. While I love college football, beer, and outdoor sports and detest A&F, South Beach (the Club and the destination), and twink boys, I do LOVE me some Real Housewives. New York is on tonight. Can't believe that Jill shows up in St John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deut28Thirteen Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Can not believe I am saying this but I watch Housewives of Jersey. Mom and sis was watching it one day I came in and sat down and became hooked. Caroline is really annoying and Teresa at times seems some what like an airhead.

Sunstar Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Seems like Dallas would be a better fit for this show. Although the ratings would definitely be high if Osteen's wife were on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticaFlinch Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 My wife is home right now with our baby (and another one on the way). Can she be on this show? Technically, she's a housewife. Not only that, she's an attractive blonde, and she can ramp up the drama to make it interesting. Also, I know how to sigh really big and shake my head for whenever I'd be on screen. This can be my trademark line: "My wife did what? Well, you can't fence her in." And then I'll stumble off screen to refill my scotch on the rocks.I really don't want to move to Memorial though, and something tells me all these women will live in Memorial.

These will be wives of mid-size oil company executives, plastic surgeons and those lawyers who run those ads trying to get a bunch of plaintiffs involved in a class action lawsuit against weight-loss pharmaceutical companies.I accidentally caught about five minutes of the Atlanta show once (I'd briefly lost my testicles and had no other choice), and I was a bit surprised to find out only like two of the "housewives" were even married. What's up wit dat? And, that white one with the fake blonde hair (the one who looked like a tranny) was about the dumbest human being ever given facetime over the airwaves. I feel robbed for that five minutes I lost to that show. It was nothing but a bunch of stupid people doing stupid things and manufacturing stupid drama. It was like Jerry Springer in a Bentley. I had to take a shower afterward to wash away the filth (and where I fortunately recovered my balls). I've not seen a single other episode of the show, and I probably wouldn't watch it even if my wife was on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americans care more about celebrity than knowledge. So frustrating.I think of reality TV as analogous to the rise of game shows in the 1950's. While trivial in content, they are exhibiting real emotions and that's what people wait and watch to get a glimmer of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yes, it's our turn. The Real Housewives of Houston are being slowly cooked up. Thoughts? Are our rich social women as crazy and dramatic as every other cities'? I'm surprised Miami or even Vegas hasn't been thought up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Miami or even Vegas hasn't been thought up yet.Would be just our luck if they find a group of morbidly obese women to further diminish our cities shameful weight issues. But, who knows maybe they will give Houston a more attractive edge and portray us in a better light for ratings. I've never seen what is interesting about the show in the first place.

KinkaidAlum Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Never seen the Atlanta show but I think it was Bravo's way of being "less white." The only version I truly enjoy is New York. How can you not like a former Countess who thinks she's the next pop star, a crazy ex-model who literally needs to be institutionalized, an over the top Jewish book peddler, ballsy Bethenny and her "Skinny Girl" business, Ramona, the tv jewelry sociopath, Alex and her gay husband, and the newest member, the unapologetic slutty divorcee!
