They really should consider New Orleans or Chicago.
IF THERE IS A JEBUS – CONDY McCAIN YOU SHALL SOON BE ON THIS SHOW!!!
We definitely need a Real Gay Housemen of Chicago!!!
They should do something in Texas…there’s gotta be some interesting combos of white trash and money.
So are they going to profile the wives of elected officials, or what?
The cool part is that we’ll likely see Spike Mendelson and Carla from Top Chef do some catering for one of the Housewives.
A shame my wife’s anti spotlight. She’d be a shoo in for a show like this one. Maybe not rich and vain, but she knows how to kick butt in a cat fight and she can really press the flesh at social events!
Yay for DC…I didn’t know we had “fashion sophisticates” here…
Buffy, Muffy and Shelia with their head bands and plaid skirts. And Laura, Mary, and Catherine with their size 16 Laura Ashly dresses in size 16. Will be the DC housewives. Can you say style:)
It is sad that you can’t even form a remotely understandable comment. You are what’s wrong with America. Get some education STAT!
How about the Real House wives of East LA
Mandy I live in Texas and can tell you this I am sure that we do have white trash women here that would be willing to put THEIR PRIVATE lives on public television however most of the people I know would not even THINK of “telling the American Public” our inner most personal actions. IE … where I get my money from, what kind of car I drive and let not forget my status symbol-my 3.5 million dollar mansion!! All and I mean ALL of the “Housewives” are wannabe’s or just plain stupid …kids today are much more hateful than they were in my day and I am under 50 and would NEVER think of going on a show today not with my 16 year old son …just others to comment away. I use to think when he was in grade school that if you were a stripper that would be “great” for having alot of friends. Today as a junior in high school I would be totally embarrased to be his mother and be a stripper!! People have to think about other’s reactions and the final outcome of those.
Can someone, somewhere, create a reality TV show network, and put all these shows on one channel so that I can choose not to watch them? This genre seems to take up all hours of programming today, and they’re ridiculous to watch. Especially when they leave little time for any other kind of programming. Enough. Can this reality TV die its death soon, please?
I hold a PhD and this show is my favorite show to relax and stop thinking about serious stuff! Your pretentiousness is killing me!
As an Indian person, educated in North America I find wearing a Sari at an envent that was crashed dressed as an Indian person is offensive. Are you reforcing your biase because your husband has a Muslim and probabley feels because of stereotyes;Indians are uncilivilized? If that is the case, please get caught up on History. We Indians would never insist that anothher culture, religion or race would try to convert a person who is a believer of a higher power.I BECEECH you PLEASE do not try to convert our beliefs in ourselves and culture as we are all just skin, blood and bones !!! We are better off without your idoligiogy that we have to be your religion in order o be a HUMAN BEING!!!!
It’s a shame that Bravo puts garbage like this on instead of the good shows they used to have like the Celebrity Poker.
yessss!!!!! they should def pick up some wives from great falls/mclean, bethesda, etc…
Although I’m immensely entertained by these shows I cannot believe that these women don’t mind being portrayed this way. Most of them have no depth of character as people. Truly sad. When a botox party is the hilight of your day what comes next?
What about the Real Housewives of Anytown, USA??
I am so tired of Dina and Caroline judging Danielle. If she did get arrested when she was 24 so what. We all have done things that we are not happy about. Jackie is having to choose between her friend and her family and I do not think that is fair to her. Teresa is two-faced and she needs to stay out of the conflict. Danielle is not perfect but she is human. If they knew about this book they should have gone to her instead of telling everyone but her. We all know that people write what they want in books. But because they do not like her it is oh so true.
I agree with you 100%. I was so annoyed with Caroline, Dina, and Teresa and their smear campaign against Danielle. Dina is an idiot and was so boring during her interviews; Caroline thinks she is a lot wiser than she really is and plays the matriarchal role way too seriously; and Teresa is just a trashbag. Jackie is a sweetheart and she should be allowed to have any and all friends she so desires.
