My 19 year old daughter got me watching The Real Housewives of Orange County a few years ago when it first aired. There is TRHW of Atlanta, NYC and now New Jersey. This is real mind erasing, no redeeming value tv at its best. But it is like watching a train wreck, you can't look away.
It is interesting to see how the other half lives... or appears to anyway. How much is just a "good" edit I will never know but it is fun regardless. The best show is the reunion show later in the year after the series has aired. The reunion show is closer to real time as the actual show is taped, edited and long over by the time it airs. This show is when the real "claws" come out as they have all had a chance to watch the "confessional" parts of the show and see what the others had to say about them. Funny stuff.
The Orange County wives were fun but I think the NYC ones are my favorite. Not sure why, perhaps because I am an east coast girl, perhaps because the city is more familiar to me. Only been there once but have seen it forever on tv and in the movies. The "characters" are more interesting as well and there is Simon the husband of one of the wives who is rumored to be gay, he probably isn't but he is the most metrosexual man I have ever seen on tv.
This seasons reunion show of The Real Housewives of New York City should be very interesting. There are a couple of feuds going on between the wives and some have been in the news/tabloids recently. Kelly Killoren Bensimon has been accused of punching her boyfriend in the face and Countess LuAnn de Lesseps is apparently getting a divorce. The Countess considers herself and expert in etiquette and is even writing a book on it. She prides herself on being titled, not a big deal, but I do wonder what she will have to say about this on the reunion. She is being branded, "Countess to Cougar". Of course this is all tabloid fodder so who knows the truth but the wives themselves. I will be watching.
The new show The Real Housewives of New Jersey looks like it will be a laugh too. There are two sisters married to a pair of brothers and the requisite single mom and divorcee. Love the accents as well. My family is from northern Jersey but the other side of the tracks. Thank goodness for DVR so now I can watch all the episodes at my leisure and enjoy a chuckle after a hard night at work.
What's the next city? Miami, Detroit, who knows but chances are we will be watching.

I have watched both shows and rather fancy the New York one myself as well.
The women of Orange county make me ill.Seriously.
So fake, such whacked out priorities.
Like barbie dolls with sugar daddies visa card.
Can't stand it.
Now, New York..still a bit of the fake shit...be these girls are bitches with style.
I agree with you about Simon..a little off kilter that one is.
The Countess, I love though. She seems to be the only one who displays the slightest bit of intelligence that doesn't revolve around Manhattan society.
It's Jill that drives me bonkers. She reminds me of Joy from the View.Highly opinionated and believes herself to all that and a bag of chips too.
Did you see this weeks, Bethanny was funny when she went to Jills apt. It is so over the top. And then Jill cried when her maid quit. Her maid... holy shit. Wish I had one to quit.
