keelhaul-80856 There are many smart, talented, and wonderful women, who are beautiful inside and out-- those women ARE NOT featured on these programs. My wife insists on playing these shows early in the morning on reruns and listening to bitches scream insults at each other for some reason. Why these shows are utter garbage:1)Marketed as "reality" shows. Really? Is it normal reality for a bunch of plastic old women with botox to sit around in a lavish set or house and cuss each other out about manufactured, scripted events that matter less than the pocket lint in your pockets??? Then they have some stupid reunion events where everyone "hates" each other but agrees to sit around and critique each other yet again, with some retarded gay dude in a suit who gets paid to produce and come up with this fecal matter. How this is a reality, I'm sure I don't know...2)There is nothing redeeming about these shows. It just showcases the extreme narcissism and vanity of blowhard airheads that already dominates our society in modern America.3)Why is everyone cussing and being bleeped out constantly. The stupid BLEEPS are so God-awful that it drives me nuts. You can't even understand what these morons are talking about, because they have so many loud bleeps and edits. It is like watching COPS or Jerry Springer, but with bimbos in fancy gowns and dresses, with botox and plastic surgery.4)The reunions with the gay fairy in the suits. Why do we need a reunion meeting for people that hate each other and already argued or cried like 500 times in the past? That is another setup for a fake WWE argument match for no reasons, just to do the same setup yet again.5)Why do intelligent women like this show? I understand guilty pleasures, or shows that exist as a low-brow relief, or a social commentary, but these shows seems to genuinely portray themselves as "reality", "entertainment", and "drama". There isn't even any real tension or drama here-- the only tension being in the women's faces to the point that they can't express emotion from all the crap injected into their heads. I feel that this show makes women dumber and more petty and materialistic, as you can't help but absorb, at some levels, the stupid behavior of these people on a daily basis. 6)What kind of "man" wants to be married to these shallow, fake women? They are nothing but gold-digging morons, many of whom look 65, trying to dress and augment themselves to look like teen hookers at a tanning salon. How does a woman like this add value to your life, raise good children, contribute to her community, or make you feel desirable as a man, when they are merely married to any buffoon in a necktie, as long as he has a mansion and some checks coming in for their latest surgery or sports car??? PATHETIC.7)If I want stupid humor or social commentary humor, I watch Sunny in Philly, or South Park. If I want drama, I watch a show like Walking Dead, Narcos, Black Sails, or Breaking Bad. This show doesn't qualify as anything other than fake idiots screaming at each other over superficial BS in a trash fest that literally looks the same on every episode, and has NO VALUE to society. I literally cringe and lose braincells upon hearing every portion of these shows. Hell, even watching the roadrunner drop anvils on the coyote, or 3 stooges throwing pies in peoples' faces is more entertaining than this, and more socially uplifting. I digress...

Jane Sproul I just started watching the real housewives of New Jersey and am on the second season. I just finishing watching the episode with Daniele and Kim G going to the benefit at the brownstone and I am appalled by them both!!! First off as a mother I would never lie and talk about my friends best friend the way Kim g did! And the whole time she was trying to stir up trouble she had that awful smirk on her face. If she was my mother and did that to my best friend knowing he was talking about their attire I would disown her. I'm hoping as I get farther in the season her and Danielle are kicked off the show!! I believe they are both psychos who have to force their way to events and try to scare people with felons to be nice to them. Come on get a clue!!!

faraday196020002000 I have just watched S2 episode 8 and have to say, the behaviour of Danielle is like watching a car crash waiting to happen! she is a very strange attention seeking woman! she has to turn every thing into a drama! i was especially disgusted at the episode, where she attended a function to raise funds for a little girl who has a serious illness, she made it all about herself not the little girl! her behavior was disgusting! To be honest, if this is the sort of unladylike behavior these ladies portray on the series, then money has certainly not bought them class! Spoilt brats springs to mind, perhaps if some of them "worked" for a living and earned their own money, then they wouldn't fritter it away on extravagant things, they brag openly about a item costing 15000 when there are people in the world starving to death!

janice143 The previous reviewer, please put your review in paragraphs. No one wants to read a tome like the one you just reviewed.So, why do I love this show? I just love all the women, they are fun, pretty and a lot more realistic than the women on the Housewives of New York. Although Franklin Lakes, New Jersey where these women live is not a touchstone for the rest of the country, I get a kick out of watching where they live. Their homes are beautiful, their children are well fed and well taken care of. No one is on welfare or food stamps.This is supposed to be a reality show, it is not, but who cares. This is just an entertainment show, meant to make us feel happy and secure and maybe happy we are not like them.
