This week at work, a co-worker started talking about how much she LOVES the Real Housewives of New Jersey. So, being that I hate everything about those uncouth, disgusting, reprehensible, skanks, I felt the need to put my two cents into the conversation. I hate that Bravo has made these women - these disgusting examples of everything that is bad and wrong with our society - into minor (VERY minor) celebrities. They are all hopeless - and very difficult to watch. I always get somewhat nauseous when I see a preview of a future show. As I type this, the Reunion show for the Jersey wives just started - I had to turn the TV off because the worst of all of them - that low-foreheaded, low-class Theresa - started on a rant about something so incredibly stupid that I could feel my brain cells just dying!! I mean, who do these idiots think they are?? Before the show, they were nobodies! In my eyes, they still are - but you can't pass a bad magazine as the check-out aisles of stores without seeing one of their faces on the cover. Ugh. It makes me shake with anger that these shows are still being watched. Of them all, the only one I've ever watched - and been entertained by - is the Housewives of Atlanta. At least when you watch that show, you're guaranteed that one of them (more often than any of the others, it's Nene) will say something so hysterical that you laugh out loud. Sure, they're as delusional as the others, but at least they're entertaining. That being said, I just want all of them to go away somewhere. Some remote island - far, far away. There are a lot of other shows that I think need to disappear as well (Survivor, the Amazing Race, Big Brother, etc) - but let's just start with the "Real" Housewives. They should all be ashamed of themselves. Except for Nene. LOL
