I have watched every episode of Beverly Hills (love Erica ) and can't wait for new series. Currently loving Orange County (hate Vicky , and Shannon is going crazy and blaming everyone and everything for her huge weight gain) can't wait for the episode tonight. Anyone else real housewives fans or am I totally sad haha dh thinks it's utter rubbish and that it's all far fetched in true bullshit . AIBU watching these programmes ? They are my guilty pleasure and are on to when all 4 dcs are in bed and I love settling down with a pot of tea , some hobnobs and curling up on sofa . Dh goes to bed at 9 (up at 5 am for milking) so I have living room all to myself . Vicki is really manipulative and I wish she would leave . I can't get over the fake cancer scam she pulled with brooks . Briana her daughter was right all along as was Tamra . Also talking of Tamra id not be surprised if Eddie turns out to be gay ??

Yes!!
What about Atlanta too, NeNe is the pits! I started out liking her but now she is so full of herself. New Jersey/BH /NY
My fave Housewive is Kandi from Atlanta and I like Erica too.
The rest of them are all bad/sad or mad.

WhoopiGoldbergsCat · 07/08/2017 18:41

OC, NY and BH all my favorites too, sad I know! My dh can't stand them and moans every time I watch them, but it so relaxing just to switch off.
I love it when they go on holiday, the cost, the excess, the food and alcohol, so far removed from my reality!

Farmerswife4life1984 · 07/08/2017 18:43

Heather dubrow really pisses me off . Always trying to be so perfect . She says jump to terry he says how high dear . She is so pretentious

Yanbu I watch them all! BH, NYC, NJ, OC, Melbourne, Potomac, Dallas .... you get the gist Grin

DH hates them all

Drgonzosattorney · 07/08/2017 19:00

Heather Dubrow was a typical mean girl and her husband seemed to enjoy the nastiness. The Vancouver one was a hard one to watch with the vile Jody going after to Mary . So nasty.

Eolian · 07/08/2017 19:02

YABU - I'd rather watch paint dry. Can't bear trashy reality crap.

femfemlicious · 07/08/2017 19:04

I looove New York Atlanta and Beverly hills rhw

tiffanysfanny · 07/08/2017 19:07

I think with Atlanta I love them as group. The funniest of the bunch.

I find New York interesting as a whole but there is no one person I love.

The worst housewife for me is Dorinda out of everybody in the whole franchise of housewives. I also, think it's because of her boyfriend.

I pity Sonja the most. Imaginary business, one after another.

The biggest air-head has to go to posha Williams. That woman leaves me baffled almost every time she opens her mouth. When she is not being stupid, she can be very funny. Possibly the funniest one. Her sister too. I always find myself tapping my head saying "duh" every time the two of them speak.

Drgonzosattorney · 07/08/2017 19:14

Yes Tiffanysfanny the Atlanta group are great. I love Bethanny Frankel but can see why she upsets people. Ramona is hilarious with wide eyes flashing. Poor old Luann, it's not going to end well.

Farmerswife4life1984 · 07/08/2017 19:19

Sonja makes me cringe at times . She must be so embarrassed after her drunken flashing

Drgonzosattorney · 07/08/2017 19:31

Poor Sonja. How does she maintain her lifestyle. You have to cringe and laugh when she tries to make out with her friends when she's had one too manyWine.

hoopdeloop · 07/08/2017 19:31

I adore the real housewives! I watch New Jersey, New York, OC and Beverley hills. Never got into the rest of them.

I'm very much on the side of Tamra and Shannon. Vicki annoys me with her whole 'OG' stance - yeah but you still lied that Brooks had cancer. Kelly is awful, genuinely awful. Ireland wasn't a good time for anyone, but her behaviour pre Ireland showed her true side.

I love Erika! My opinion on LVP changes frequently, sometimes lovely, sometimes a real bitch.

I loved Jill Zarin, made me really sad when she left. Luann is driving me crazy! I feel so sorry for Sonja, I think she needs to find a good man instead of chasing anyone with a pulse.

ReluctantlyRedundant101 · 07/08/2017 19:34

You're right Drgonzo it doesn't end well for Lu Ann I read the other day that she's getting divorced!
Also Sonjas house looks like it hasn't been decorated in 30 years Confused

Christinayangstwistedsista · 07/08/2017 19:37

They are my guilty please. Watch the old New Jersey ones, they are literally killing g each other

Christinayangstwistedsista · 07/08/2017 19:38

Luann is getting divorcec

meltingmarshmallows · 07/08/2017 19:40

YANBU. I'm completely hooked and have seen them all. RHOA, RHONJ & RHOBH being my favs.

LAlady · 07/08/2017 19:43

I watch them all although not so keen on New Jersey and Atlanta now. Find them a bit same old, same old.

The old episodes of New York are on E! at the moment. Lifetime showing the more current one - along with Beverly Hills. Love Vanderpump Rules too.

I'm also watching Celeb BIg Brother - purely because Brandi from Beverly Hills early series is on it. She's still as "honest" as ever Grin

Tigerlovingall · 07/08/2017 19:43

My mum and dad were friends with the radziwills (lee, sister of Jackie Kennedy) and Stanislaw, think he was a prince l or something?) when we firstlived in Rome when I was little. I've got a photo of me and Carole's husbands sister at our little school, and can remember going on a play date at their villa. I remember dropping a curtesy or bobbing or something when he gravely shook my hand...I must have been all of 4-5 yrs old...
Anyway I started watching ny cos I remembered the raziwill name. And I really like carol.

Arealhumanbeing · 07/08/2017 19:45

YANBU! NY, OC, BH and Cheshire. Find the others boring and somehow dated. Especially Melbourne.

Raheesmyboy · 07/08/2017 19:47

Ooooooh when did the Real Housewives of Orange County start? And what days and times???

Im waiting for the Real Housewives fot Atlanta to start but no idea when it will!

WildIrishRose1 · 07/08/2017 19:48

I didn't know rhoc was on tonight, Farmer. What channel? I'm following series 10 on ITVbe and LOVE it and rhbh. DH is bemused.

horacemorris · 07/08/2017 19:50

Just started watching Melbourne, how many times can Jackie mention that her husband is a rockstar?????

JennyOnAPlate · 07/08/2017 19:51

I loved New York and New Jersey! I tried to get into Beverley hills recently but just wasn't enjoying it (although it wasn't series one so maybe I'd like it more if I started from the beginning??)
