Real Housewives… Real Boring

I’m so not into this season  of Real Housewives at all.  As I said last week, the ladies have all gone down hill rapidly. This week, everyone except Lauri went to San Diego for the weekend to get Jeanna out of her shell and they stayed in some luxury suite which was twice as big as my house.  They probably still though that was slumming it, although I don’t see how. Vicki and Jeanna got into a “fight” on the way down in the limo, which wasn’t really a fight, more they had words. Well, at least Vicki had words, and then Jeanna said what she felt later to the camera in her one on one.

The thing that stood out to me the most in this episode is what a dumb tramp Tamra is. I have no clue how she is keeping any real estate clients. She’s just so inappropriate. I guess she thinks a hot body is her golden ticket to everything. I hope all her clients dump her and jump over to Jeanna. It might teach her a lesson.

And that Quinn is super annoying.  I’m glad she went over like a lead balloon at her “boyfriends” birthday party. Although that could have just been creative editing, but I’m sure if she’s annoying me, she’s annoying everyone else.

I hope the last couple of episodes are more entertaining than the first three – at least Lauri’s wedding will be interesting. And I was pleased to see Lauri doing something with Sophie, her one child that hasn’t disappointed her!

Other things I watched this week were : the season finale of Survivor. I though this season was quite good, but the ending was predictable with Todd winning. I thought for a few seconds that Courtney might win, which would have been excellent, but Todd prevailed.

Another reality show wrapped up and that was The Biggest Loser. People lost so much weight this season it was incredible.  It does seem that a woman is never going to win because the mean are either so much bigger or they can lose weight more easily, because season after season a guy wins. I was sort of hoping that Julie would win this time. She looked incredible at the finale and obviously worked really, really hard to get into shape. 

And the best news all week: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will be back on the air 7 January! yay!!

Gone to Hell in a Handcart

The Real Housewives of Orange County have really gone to hell in a handcart. What a pack of shrews they have turned into.  I really couldn’t stand any of them in Tuesday night’s episode. It was really sad. At least last seasonthere were some funny, light moments to go along with the shrieking and the botox. I can’t say that this season.

The “fame” has obviously gone to their heads. Vicki is still basically acting the same, but has no insight into herself and is a total hypocrite. When she was talking about teaching Michael to drink responsibly and then the next thing is she’s getting smashed in front of all the people she employees and works with. Nice.

Lauri tried on $10,000 wedding dresses and said “I’ll think about it” when her eldest daughter begged to be her maid of honour. What a lovely mother.

Jeanna is totally lame and doesn’t really have a clue about her kids. Colton seems like such a nice kid, but he’s probably going to turn out like Shane, who’s the obvious favourite and spoiled rotten and has a personality to match.

Tammy didn’t have much to say last night, which was good because she’s a total empty head.

Tamra is just plain unaware of how stupid she sounds and looks. She can probably sell tons of real estate in that area due to her looks, but she has nothing to say that is interesting and she needs to really give her kid a boot up the butt. I know all kids think they can start working at the top and earn lots of money, and Tamra needs to sit him down and give him a few facts. He’s 21. He can deal with it.

And as for Quinn the “new” housewife, she would have to be the most irritating housewife yet. Even more irritating than Jo De La Rosa. She is a self proclaimed Christian, but thinks nothing of dating two guys at once, and apparently is out every night, leaving her 14 yr with who?? I think her son should be the main man in her life right now, not that there is anything wrong with dating, but two guys at once has to be a huge time commitment. She also seems incredibly fake to me.

Next week promises some sort of fight between Vicki and Jeanna, but I’m sure it will turn out to be nothing, like the big cliff scare of two weeks ago.

Real Housewives are Imploding

What is going on with the Real Housewives?  And who is the new chick Quinn, who appears to be a serial dater? We’ll find out the whole story on Quinn next week, but until then we will have to spend our time talking about how many of these rich kids feel the need to get a tattoo. I find that totally bizarre, the amount of time this show has spent in Season 3 in a tattoo parlor. Last night it was Ryan, Tamra’s son who got the entire side of his stomach tattooed. And it was damn ugly. I was quite sympathetic to Ryan in the first couple of episodes, but now he’s just a self fulfilling prophecy of stupidity.  I want to slap him and send him to his room.

The other person I want to slap is Megan and her baldy friends. I don’t blame Tammy’s boyfriend for throwing them off the boat. They are all spoiled brats. And those guys with the big disks in their ears – could they look any stupider?

And Lauri obviously doesn’t think her kids are watching the show because she said this week “Sophie is the only one of my kids that hasn’t disappointed me”. Maybe she should take a long hard look at herself and see how’s she’s disappointed her kids???

Vicki was absent most of this show and was only talked about by her kids as being crazy. Jeanna showed up for a few minutes to talk about body image issues and Hollywood, and they were the sanest Housewives of the night!!!

Real Housewives of Orange County

These women are just as self involved as they were last season, and mostly at the expense of their kids.

 I’ll start with Jeana.  Jeana spent a lot of time talking to the camera about how  Colton is acting out and she needs to keep and eye on him and he’s not allowed be be alone blah blah blah, and then promptly goes off to San Franciso for the weekend with Kara and doesn’t even tell him she’s going. Colton is clearly upset by this, after all he’s only 15. Then Jeana has the nerve to come home and say that she told him but he forgot. I doubt that.

 Vicki bought a house to downsize into, and then spent the entire episode stressing that the house was going to be too small. This didn’t stop her wanting to spend up to $400K on putting in a pool and a backyard, including grill, fridge and outside dishwasher!! She’s totally nuts.

 Lauri was botoxed up the wazoo as usual, and it’s seeped into her brain, because she encouraged her 22 yr old daughter and her 18 yr old step daughter to go to a cocktail party at the Playboy Mansion. Highly innappropriate in my opinion, but what do I know.

Tamra is nuts. She went out riding on a Harley with no protective clothing. I’m all about safety first, so I could barely watch this . And then she promptly went and lay on a tanning bed!!  Talk about reckless. She wants to be the hottest 40 yr old on the planet. She’s also the dumbest one.

 Tammy did nothing this episode except flip some burgers and talk about her dead ex-husband.

Next week it appears that someone falls off a cliff. Can’t wait.
