I have seen the episode with the explosion between tamra and jeana!

It is very exciting! I was on the edge of my seat watching that episode!

TragicallyHip · 17/08/2011 22:55

I LOVE IT

Slight obsession with it. Might have to watch all the others. Most of it would be scripted anyway.

Just as am I writing this a tweet popped up by Tamra.. Blush

So glad that I'm not the only obsessive.Didn't Jeanna look like a bag lady when she went to the fashion show that Peggy (the walking corpse ) was hosting?Ffs a size 6! My fat arse.

CleverClod · 18/08/2011 07:43

Yeah, but that was an American size 6, which I think equates to an English size 8, now you just KNOW that's right - don't you????

I wish you had posted this in the Feminism section

i love it. so funny. don't envy them as they are insecure and shallow but great to watch. not sure what foreclosure is though? quite a few seem to lose their houses and downsize

PeterSpanswick · 18/08/2011 07:50

This programme is just exactly like my life..

Apart from the cars and the money and the mansions and the plastic surgery and..

Foreclosure is when the bank takes back your home because you can't afford the payments on it.

ragged · 18/08/2011 09:06

Foreclosure is when you can't make the repayments (mortgage) on your house & the lender takes house back. The British equivalent terms elude me this morning (not had enough caffeine yet).

I think I'll have to bow out of thread because it is winding me up. Of course you lot are all too clever to be so deluded, but it sounds like yet more stupid tripe TV that pushes the message that all Americans are rich & shallow. When I first came to Europe I had so many people (various ages & nationalities) saying to me, very sincerely, "It's all like Dynasty where you live, isn't it?" Meanwhile my relatives can't afford to own a car and spend their time fishing aluminum cans out of the garbage to get a few pennies, hey ho. :(

I love watching this too, but always seem to fall asleep so never get to grips with who is who. I know Peggy is the walking corpse and Vicki is the only one that seems to work hard at a real business.

I think the people that appear on Judge Judy are probably a more real representation of American woman though, sadly.

MilyP · 18/08/2011 09:59

I have only seen a bit of them. But one I saw I found really sad. One woman was sad her mother didn't spend time doing her hair and make up and felt she had more important things to do with her time. She was having lunch with her mother telling her how lucky she was to have such good skin and so few wrinkles but then was paying for her to go and have botox!? The mother was going along with it and no idea why. But if the woman has beautiful skin why the hell are you paying someone to inject chemicals into her face - leave the poor woman alone!!

I prefer Real Housewives of New Jersey!

janelikesjam · 18/08/2011 10:38

Watched it this morning. Yes, TragicallyHip I also did have a slight obsession with it Shock. In fact it was the only programme I watched on TV. I got a bit bored with it recently, but this series seems quite good. Tamra's DramaQueendom seems to be getting a bit out of hand. Nightsky Peggy - the walking corpse, how true ...

I would like to live like that for a while - minus the workouts and diets and plastic surgery and botox of course, that part would get on my nerves.

maras2 · 18/08/2011 10:39

God I heart Judge Judy.Maybe I should get a job, Oh hang on I had one then retired so I can watch as much crap on telly as I like.(smug emoticon)sodding I phone.

milkmilklemonade · 18/08/2011 15:40

I am English and have Botox, have had surgery and also have a Hummer. I am not insecure nor shallow thanks.

TragicallyHip · 18/08/2011 15:47

I don't know anyone that thinks that ragged!

An American size 6 is a UK 10 btw. They are 2 sizes down.

LITTLEGEEK · 18/08/2011 20:10

I love Real HWof OC, I skyplus it and DH tell me I watch utter shite rubbish. I have mixed feelings of Tamra. Sometimes I like her and felt a bit sorry for her kids when she was having problems with Simon but he is a control freak. which is really funny because Vicki was calling him a control freak and can't see that she tries to control everyone else!! The episode where Tamra pushes Jeana is on tmrw.. Happy watching Grin
