I believe my favorite of the Bravo Real Housewives of Franchise is the one with the New York City girls.The Real Housewives of New York City have great fights and a truly bizarre mental case housewife in the form of Kelly Bensimon. Plus the goofiest of the househusbands in the form of Simon, married to Alex.
The previews that have been running for about a month, on Bravo, show some promising drama. Countess Luann is now a single woman, free of the count.
It appears, from the previews, that Jill Zarin turns on Bethenny Frankel, totally done with her. That will likely last 2 minutes.
I wonder if Bravo will blur Bethenny's nude shoot?
The Real Housewives of Atlanta are close behind the NYC girls in the entertainment factor, except last season it seemed off, with the housewives way too aware of the camera. It became a bit too campy.
I had not watched hardly any of The Real Housewives of the OC, previously, til about a week ago when Bravo seemed to be flooding the airwaves with them.
Those OC housewives are borderline not watchable. As I understand it, most of the originals have left the show, leaving only this very strange woman named Vicki Gunvalson to interact with a lot of new girls, who Vicki does not like.
One of the new wives is named Alexis Bellino. She and her husband are of the pseudo-Christian sort who wear it on their sleeve. I saw two excruciating prayer scenes that went on and on and on with Alexis being the one doing the praying. I know it was shown for the comic aspect, but, what a sad woman. So stupid. In one of her prayers she mentioned Jesus parting the Red Sea. I've not been in church for decades, but even I know it was a long time before Jesus was born that Moses parted the Red Sea, with God's help.
Alexis is very brittle and triggers arguments, of course she means no harm. After one particularly stupid argument, she had her pastor come for breakfast. More praying and then a bizarre conversation about how his sermon had spoken to her regarding her triggering an argument. The conversation then de-generated to the point where the husband of Alexis said something about Alexis receiving grief over her artificially enlarged boobs.
Dead silence, as everyone looked uncomfortable. Then the smarmy pastor said something about God using the beauty of Alexis for special work.
Really creepy bunch of blonde housewives on the OC version.
I must make sure my DVR is set to start recording the cat fighting starting with the premiere of the new season, this Thursday, March 4, 11/10 Central
