I have seen all the seasons now....it is mad, they can be right bitches to each other.

Made in Chelsea is another guilty pleasure

I love Real Housewives of OC - it is complete escapism.

I wish I hadn't seen this thread though as I didn't realise you could watch the other Housewives series online. Thanks lettinggo :o I have just watched the first episode of Beverly Hills and am already hooked. Hours and hours of mindless viewing to look forward to now !

lettinggo · 09/08/2011 19:31

Ahh, mrjellykeepskidsquiet, I'll see your "all seasons of RHOOC" and I'll raise you all seasons of New Jersey, Miami and EVEN the DC one that was so crap they cancelled it mid-season.

This truly is an addiction.

wakeupandsmellthecoffee · 10/08/2011 12:12

the Jersey one I tape it once a week . I think they are far more ferral in this series .

heididrink · 10/08/2011 12:47

I only caught some of yesterdays episode . I usually plan my days MUCH better

Anyway it looks like in todays episode Alexis confronts Tamra for bringing the pepper spray to her party .....wtf?
I am really warming to Alexis wasnt sure of her before but I think she tells it like it is. Also she has twins and because mine are much older now I enjoy laughing at her when she is left alone without the nanny....it does me good to remember how crazy my life was then.
Where are Tamras kids ? How come she has so much time to snog the face off Eddie?
Gretchen is starting to look at bit creepy with all the botox she has had - she looked much better last season.
Right off to do some housework so I can justify lying on the sofa eating crisps watching later on

heididrink · 10/08/2011 16:52

I could not believe Vickys behaviour - she has totally lost the plot. That poor girl that she spanked OMG - she looked humiliated.
Why is Gretchen still with Slade ? The more she humilates him the more needy he seems to become. It is strange to compare this relationship with the one he had with Jo - with Jo he was the one in charge. Now it is Grtechen who has the balls upperhand.He is starting to look and sound really needy - not attractive

newpup · 10/08/2011 18:07

Vicky is a loon. Who spanks their employees and then tells them they love them! She is a complete control freak,I think that there will be a separation/divorce soon! I was amazed when she told her daughter not to have a drink because her father was an alcoholic in front of everyone! I assume Don is not her father.

How mean of Tamra to lead Eddie on, pretending she would have a baby with him when she told the camera no way! There is something likeable about her though. I like Peggy too, I think she is probably a nice girl! I love that Alexis has the guts to say what she thinks. Oh dear I am hooked!

wakeupandsmellthecoffee · 10/08/2011 18:17

Vicky and Don do divorce .

lilyliz · 11/08/2011 16:11

I miss geanna too,she seemed the most down to earth.Tamra is a total fake,sooner Eddie realises the better,I keep watching hoping karma will get her.

wakeupandsmellthecoffee · 12/08/2011 11:10

i like genna but I think Tamara and her have an argument .

wakeupandsmellthecoffee · 12/08/2011 16:41

was Peggy speaking to Alexis in the loo or was it another housewife .... Confused

heididrink · 15/08/2011 11:36

not sure who Peggy was talking to but todays episode looks good
Just caught up with Fridays episode OMG Tamra is such a fake .I couldnt believe it when she strutted her stuff on the catwalk..........I totally believed it when she claimed to be nervous.

babycham42 · 15/08/2011 11:42

Got it on series record.Eddie is a minger.Kind of like Peggy in a funny way.

KittyWalker · 15/08/2011 11:59

I thought Geana looked rough in a HoOC way - probably meant she looked normal!!! Today's looks good, I am saving the ironing for then!!

Pawsnclaws · 15/08/2011 22:37

I love this programme - would never admit it in real life!

I love the fact that every episode seems to involve them all screaming and bitching at each other. And yet they all come back for more.

From what I can gather some if them have had pretty serious financial problems too. Not quite the exclusive lifestyle the programme suggests?

naught · 15/08/2011 23:29

I don't know if its still on but I loved the Atlanta series - omg NeeNee was awful, and Kim not much better.

gingerwench · 16/08/2011 21:51

I was just about to start my own thread on this! It is absolutely my guilty pleasure. I've seen about 5 episodes (not consecutive ones) and I'm just about beginning to recognise the difference between the various botoxed blondes. I actually felt a bit sorry for Vicki in the preview clip they showed today of her falling apart.

Btw I am on maternity leave and spend time every day trapped on the sofa feeding DD (3 months) that's my excuse

I have never been so up together with my ironing!

wakeupandsmellthecoffee · 17/08/2011 07:41

do you think they get money for appearing .

heididrink · 17/08/2011 10:36

I am sure that they do get paid. Tamra always mentions that she doesnt receive any money from Simon so I am not sure how she funds her lifestyle unless its from this.
I loved Slades mum - when Gretchen asked what she wanted from the supermarket and she replied " more wine "
She also did not let Slade off the hook when questioning him about his job - I think Gretchen is finding it difficult being with someone who is not not earning very much
