I have few guilty TV-watching pleasures in my life. I’ve only watched two seasons of American Idol, and that was mainly because I had roommates who watched it. I don’t do the Bachelor. I haven’t watched more than 2 seconds of MTV in the last eight years or so.
But, I do still have my one TV crack addiction: The Real Housewives franchise.
Oh, Real Housewives, how do I love thee? Let me count the trainwrecks. From the very first season of RH of the O.C., I’ve been a junky, just dying for my next fix.
Ok, that’s a bit dramatic. Because of all the nights shifts I work, I didn’t catch any of the Atlanta ladies’ season and I missed about half of this past cycle of the O.C. I know, I know, it’s time to break down and get DVR. I’m getting there, I swear.
But no matter, NYC has become my favorite and IT STARTS BACK TONIGHT! I think I like them the most because they’re all the trainwreck with only a third of the blondeness. And Bethenny. I love her. I want her to be my personal chef. Or best friend.
And in grand Real Housewives tradition, there’s a new member of the brood. I’ve yet to grasp why there’s always a new housewife. Especially this time around, since everyone from season one is returning. The new ones always end up being lame or super-annoying in a totally unsatisfying way.
Never seen it, but it sounds like one of those “scoop out your own eyeballs” messes.
I’m right with you on this one. It’s my not so guilty pleasure…I would like to hang out with Bethany and Jill. I think they would be a hoot.
I’m not such a fan of the O.C., they are very plastic, and their “culture” extends to shopping at Fred Siegal and spray tans. Maybe it’s because I’m from the area but I just adore the NYC cycle.
The new housewife is very bland. I hope they get her drunk and she goes wild.
Oh damn I love the OC Housewives too. I prefer OC and Atlanta (those women are krazee!) NYC is a little too tame for me.
