What aggravates me the most about these shows is that they purport to call them "Real" housewives. No they fucking aren't. They are rich women who either have enough of their own money to not have to work or husbands that have enough money that they don't have to work. Or at least not have to go to ajob they only marginally like. Real housewives my ass. I'm kind of sick and tired of watching television anymore. They seem to focus on the top 10% of the people that actually live in this country. You want to show real housewives/husbands? Find a lower middle class family where one of the parents is a SAHP. Staying home with kids all day is hard fucking work. Stop showing people who have a staff of 16 to help them do it. It isn't reality and it's really fucking gross. It's just gross.

Quick catch-up:
Dalton made a good bond, but yeah, he got shitty scripts. However, Daniel Craig will be my OTB for the rest of my life. He even supplanted Sean Connery in my heart and Sean had it for 40 years.
MJ's death has a great deal of surreality surrounding it. It reminds me very much of the reaction when Elvis died. I'm sure we will now have MJ sightings splashed all over the Enquirer and other tabloids. The phrase will morph from "Elvis has left the building" to "Jacko has left the building."
Toddson, thank you so much for the pretty naked Swedish dancing boys. What a great vid to wake up to in the morning.
So, they are Real in the same token that makes True Crime potboilers look realistic?
Does anyone else watch Real Housewives?
I often get sucked in while putting Frisco to sleep. (The TV is the only thing that keeps me from falling asleep myself.) It's a tacky show but it's hard not to watch in a train-wreck sort of way.
Well, the first one was Real Housewives of Orange County, which started soon after the show The OC did, so they were "real" in the sense of "not actors."
I am definitely sick with Drew's F2F cold. Sleep aids did nsm aid, and now I feel like death warmed over. Must perk up for brunch with uncle and then plan to slounge around in bed all day.

It's also a play on "Desperate Housewives"

Like I said, I might just be cranky.
I will say that I *loved* the RH of Atlanta. They seemed more real to me than any other group.

We need Cabana Boys with restorative soups and teas and gentle back rubs.
