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 ??

Obsesses with RHOAtlanta. Can't wait to for it to come back later this year.

RoaryMouth · 07/08/2017 21:03

Love the RHs! My favourite was Carole from NY but she isn't so nice now she's buddied up with Bethany. She's a follower and has been influenced by Bethany. Heather, who was her previous BF, was a better influence. I love Carole's style.

YouMakeMeFeelLikeDancing · 07/08/2017 21:04

I love Real Housewives, been watching them for several years, especially love OC and Cheshire.

I've also stated watching Yummy Mummies... thought I'd hate it but it's the same money, excess, designer labels and pure trash. Love it 😁

Drgonzosattorney · 07/08/2017 21:06

If you were a housewife what would your tag line be? Grinmine would be "6 more years then I can twirl (or curl up in a ball and eat Twirls without teens)]

tiffanysfanny · 07/08/2017 21:12

Favourite housewives from each show.
Atlanta I can't pick one. They bounce of each other.

New York
LuAnn
Ramona
I like carol but she bores me to death. I actually don't know what she does in the show. No effort at all.

Melbourne
Lydia
Gina
Pettifluer
Gamble

Married to medicine
Both doctors excluding the dentist (she is not heavenly at all)
For the women I would go for quad with her side kick designer.

Potomac I have no favourite yet. Least favourite is dame or whatever her name is. A show off with no substance. That party in season 1 was shambles.

Cheshire
Has to be ampika. Grin least favourite dawn.

MrsDoylesTeabags · 07/08/2017 21:12

I was off sick recovering from surgery a few years ago and got completely obsessed with RHW, mainly Beverly Hills, Atlanta, New York and Miami.
Couldn't get into OC or NJ but Miami was a particular type of batshit that I could appreciate while on heavy meds Grin

tiffanysfanny · 07/08/2017 21:19

I can't believe messe is pregnant with someone else. But she didn't want to get pregnant and divorced her husband to have a career. Grin confused by the whole thing.

I was shocked about Ramona's husband and her divorce. That was something I didn't see coming.

Piffpaffpoff · 07/08/2017 21:45

Ah, my people! I love NYC, OC but BH the best. And I love Erica the most as she is so 'honest' about her life, what she does, what she has etc. She's the same age as me and I just think she's fab. I thought the most recent series was v interesting because I felt we saw another side to her with the whole pantygate thing, when she was talking about how it impacted on her as 'Mrs Girardi' rather than Erika. I can't stand the new one with the English husband (I can't remember her name!). BH has had some absolute crackpots over the years, Joyce and her right creepy husband, Carlton and her creepy house, Taylor and her lips to rival Rinna's. Speaking of whom, I can't decide if she is 100% calculating at all times or just speaks before she thinks. Discuss!

The Ireland trip on OC was possibly the worst trip I've seen, and that's saying something! I was watching from behind my hands. Although, I didn't like that the last meal they had, Kelly explicitly said she didn't want to drink and then they ordered her a double something!

Oh I love it so much!

Piffpaffpoff · 07/08/2017 21:47

@tiffanysfanny oh god the leg on the table. You are right, best moment ever. Their faces!

Farmerswife4life1984 · 07/08/2017 22:25

Oh dorit and pk are the oddest couple . He is ugly as fook and she was such a bitch with pantygate . When Lisa rinna accused them of doing coke at a dinner party I could believe it . She has so many nannies and makes out she is mother of the year when it's the nannies raising her sons .

Addict here and only a chosen few know of my secret. DP detests them. I save them up for alone time, as I can't tolerate his constant commentary: "they are NOT housewives are they? What cleaning do they do?" Etc etc ad infinitum.

OC is my original and still favourite. I love Tamra, hate Heather but have a real soft spot for Shannon who I see as very vulnerable but genuine.

Farmerswife4life1984 · 07/08/2017 22:27

Can you remember big lips / giant mouth Taylor eating the candy floss ? Omg her mouth is huge and she thought she looked so so sexy but it was cringeworthy . Her husband killed himself and she accused him of beating her up .

Farmerswife4life1984 · 07/08/2017 22:28

I loved Adrienne and Paul from Beverly Hills

OP posts:
Arealhumanbeing · 07/08/2017 22:42

NY - Carole
BH - Kyle and Lisa
OC - Shannon
Cheshire - Esther

I really believe Heather OC was dangerous. Her behavior was frightening to watch and I think she left because the viewers started to call her abusive and psychotic.

Arealhumanbeing · 07/08/2017 22:45

I don't care who knows I watch it. I tell everyone it's my favourite!

Farmerswife4life1984 · 07/08/2017 23:06

Agree arealhuman about heather

Catchytune · 07/08/2017 23:34

Think OC is the best. You have to get the right combo of extravagant lifestyle and earthy honesty, I like Melbourne HW too. They say whatever comes into their heads.
I think the reason all the Housewife's in whatever country argue because they have low blood sugar. No one eats enough.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 08/08/2017 00:01

I love them all, such trash. Favourites:

  • NYC (Ramona and Sonja are something to behold. I prefer the first few series but I'm enjoying Bethany appearing in it again. For those that remember Simon, always remember - the man jizzed on his wife when she was in labour)
  • Atlanta (older series are the best)
  • DC (only one season because they broke into the White House dinner)
  • BH (I miss Camille)
  • NJ (The first 2 series with Danielle are batshit)

I watch the others too but they aren't as good, although Potomac does crack me up

I also love Married to Medicine, Big Rich Texas and The Rachel Zoe Project .

Piffpaffpoff · 08/08/2017 09:44

DC was brilliant - was shaping up to be so good and then the White House thing blew it forever!!

And Potomac is a hoot - Katie in the first series was desperately funny to watch, basically forcing that man to propose! And harking on about 'legacy' all the time. And that one who is married to the Aussie guy, they're going to be divorced soon surely?

HappenstanceMarmite · 08/08/2017 09:59

For those that remember Simon, always remember - the man jizzed on his wife when she was in labour

What what WHAAAAT?!?! You have to expand on that! Was it on the show? I remember the creepy couple Alex and Simon very well. I loved to hate them. Their pretentious child rearing bullshite "Francois can recite nursery rhymes in French" 🤢

tiffanysfanny · 08/08/2017 10:59

@Piffpaffpoff Katie is a funny one. she has tried everything to keep her kids. But she is a drug user who is very bad at hiding it.
They split up with the partner, I don't know whether they got back together or not.

The one married to the Australian is Ashley. It was interesting when he slapped Katie's partner on the back side and thought it was funny.
I do think both her and her husband know what they doing.

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 08/08/2017 11:14

Here is the story about Simon ejaculating on Alex whilst she was in labour

Farmerswife4life1984 · 08/08/2017 11:18

Omg that's is vile ?!?! I mean how sick is that . The poor midwives having to see his boner then him jizzing like a bloody teenager

Does anyone remember creepy Carlton the witch ??? Her home was so scary

Farmerswife4life1984 · 08/08/2017 11:21

Also how are they so filthy rich ??? The dubrows seem to have a never ending supply of money and build mansions with gold staircases and diamond chandeliers ??? I know he is a plastic surgeon but I'd never heard of heather before oc so she can't have been that famous an actress ?? I honestly can't fathom where all the money comes from ??? Inheritated ? I'm so jealous and I'd love a house with a lift in it haha
