Anyone still watching the real housewives?

NY, OC, BH, NJ, Chesh, LoL.

Aviva's father is horrid. She is so judgemental about others and forgives him the vilest things. Love Carole and Heather.

NJ I hate Teresa and Joe.

I absolutely love NYC. I have enjoyed BH but haven't watched since the second series. I watched NJ for a couple of seasons but it stopped being fun when they got rid of the sociopath after two seasons. (I shouldn't have found that fun but I can't help it.)

I used to watch OC years ago but long since got tired of it. That blonde insurance saleslady yelling "Woo-HOOOOO!" and fist-pumping finally did me in.

I tried a few episodes of Cheshire but it just didn't seem the same. It feels much more stilted.

I can't enjoy Atlanta because I don't feel right about sneering at black people. Two white New York society hostesses having a hair-pulling screaming fight in a restaurant is delicious television. Not the same when the drama is black ladies. I guess it makes me feel racist.

My favourite used to be the Atlanta one before they stopped airing in the uk. I love Cheshire, London, Melbourne. I never used to watch the others like New York or , Miami. I can't be bothered to catch up with them.

MuttonWasAGoose · 17/12/2015 10:43

I'm catching up on Beverly Hills now. I'm only on the second season.

Lindt70Percent · 17/12/2015 17:51

My guilty pleasure. I only know one other person IRL who admits to enjoying watching this!

I really like NY, OC, BH and NJ. I dipped in and out of the Atlanta one. I've never seen Miami or the Cheshire one. I find it quite difficult to catch the whole series though although it's easier now I can watch it live on my iPad. I think NY and OC are my favourites.

Currently watching the BH one. I can't bear that Carlton woman - she really thinks she's wild doesn't she (yawn!).

I have no idea how you watch series that haven't been shown here yet. How do you do that?

thenightsky · 17/12/2015 18:01

I don't know anyone in real life who enjoys them. Sad

BH is my favourite.

DickDewy · 17/12/2015 18:52

I don't know anyone in rl that watches, either.

Carlton (ghastly creature) was dropped after one season.

I watch the current episodes via streaming onto my tv. I'm told this is not illegal!?

I also watch Andy Cohen's late night chat show called, inexplicably, Watch What Happens Live. It often has housewives on as guests.

MuttonWasAGoose · 17/12/2015 21:57

I watch it streaming. (Kodi, which can be installed on various devices and laptop, plus a plug in called Genesis. Probably not legal, but there's no downloading.)

Lindt70Percent · 18/12/2015 17:55

MuttonWasAGoose Thanks for that. I'll have to investigate.

MuttonWasAGoose · 19/12/2015 17:50

Kodi and Genesis is a bit of a pandoras box... Imagine Netflix.... with EVERYTHING.

MuttonWasAGoose · 19/12/2015 17:51

I'm on the second season of Beverly Hills. Knowing that Russell's going to kill himself really makes it so unsettling. The domestic abuse and drug abuse dynamics are unpleasant.

thenightsky · 19/12/2015 18:53

Glad to hear that Carlton was dropped after one season. Weirdie woman!

Susiesoap7 · 21/12/2015 14:08

Just watching BH Ken and mauricio birthday party, I love Ken, but once again the horrible Kyle starts another argument with horrible Carlton. Wish they would get rid of both of them and Kim.they rest are watchable.

I've just discovered I've got the Lifetime channel on my TV.
does anyone know what housewife programs are on there currently?
I've only been able to watch on ITVBE.

MuttonWasAGoose · 22/12/2015 11:04

the Lifetime website ought to have a program listing.

MuttonWasAGoose · 26/12/2015 22:05

Boxing day was spent binge watching the fourth season. Carlton was just horrendous. I liked Joyce, but she was boring. Seeing everyone turn on Lisa has been interesting. I've just started Season 5.

candykane25 · 26/12/2015 22:09

Ahh I hanker about the NY ones with Bethenny.
NJ is my face but after that BH.
DH thinks I am bonkers but I love them.

MuttonWasAGoose · 27/12/2015 08:28

Maybe I should revisit the NJ one.

victoryinthekitchen · 27/12/2015 18:39

I love BH but don't know a single person who watches it, OC is 2nd favourite, can't beat an hour of housewives for total escapism :)

MuttonWasAGoose · 27/12/2015 21:20

I don't know anyone who watches any of the RH's.

I will say that binge watching it makes me feel a bit bilious - like I've been eating something cloying and nasty and at times I think it has even had an effect on my mood somewhat. But I am determined to get caught up and so I keep doing it!

I do ignore a lot of the stuff - weddings, sending kids off to uni, etc. That's just boring. I pay attention when there's drama.

MuttonWasAGoose · 28/12/2015 12:22

I saw an unlit cigarette in Kyle's hand during the brawl with Brandi in Eileen's driveway, and Lisa V smoked a cigarette in Puerto Rico when she was upset. Apparently she's a chain smoker. That rather casts a pall over the beautiful white furniture and bowls of roses!

Susiesoap7 · 28/12/2015 14:02

I also saw Lisa with a cigarette and remember Taylor asking for one when she was having one of her strops

LondonStill83 · 02/01/2016 13:56

aww I don't want to imagine LVP smoking!

I love her!

MuttonWasAGoose · 02/01/2016 13:58

I love her, too. But I do think she's manipulative. She's just very, very good at it and it's hard to catch her out. I think if you go along with what she wants, she's lovely.

DickDewy · 02/01/2016 19:41

They have a new housewife in BH. Her name is Erica and she looks like Barbie. She's about 45 and her husband is 76!
