do you understand the appeal of the Real Housewives?
cuz i'm watching OC rn and really blissed out
sipping a beer as everyone screaming at each other during Kelly's breast reduction party, and Shannon is melting down because Lydia called her out for squeezing Tamra's thigh while talking about Lydia.
I'm just wondering if hipinion *gets* it

Over the years, I've learned to just watch the reunion specials. You get the whole story and all of the madness along with the buttons of resolutions that will hold true until the next reunion ep. This works with most Bravo shows. Actually it works with VH1 shows too.

ok this is SUCH an iconic and amazing moment
but the thing that floored me is when my ex and i decided to watch the episode to understand the full context. and the whole episode is just BONKERS — it's like Sonja's staff party celebration? and it's so weird and so fabulous.

this is very true. and i've mainly adopted this too.
i have like more than a few friends that can't stomach the reunions for some reason and it boggles the mind.

no but she had people sign a mold of her breasts before they get reduced
and the party was a volleyball game that I think just worked as a way to her show off her beachside property because they played volleyball and then they walked to her house for nipple cupcakes and what-not

oh sometimes it's super fun watching a reunion for a show, like a Married to Medicine, you've never seen before and try to piece together the context.
I'm more of a forced passive viewer due to my girlfriend's obsession with all the franchises so I'm not well versed on timelines of everything but I know a hell of a lot more about all these ladies than I would ever have wanted to.
I worked on the camera crew for two seasons of Atlanta and pray that I never have to subject myself to that again just for a paycheckToggle Spoiler
That being said, hell yeah love Danielle.
Andy Cohen is surprisingly a real good dude despite unleashing this into modern culture.
wait can you tell me about the atlanta experience over PM or members forum — i am dying to knowToggle Spoiler
also yeah Andy seems like the best possible version of what he could possibly be, given all his circumstances. I love his twitter theme of comparing Trump to a Housewife, and it was also fascinating him realizing that the majority of the Watch What Happens live audience were pro-Trump, unless those phonelines were mainly trolls, but I do not think so. I feel like there must be a large contingent of conservative women that watch these shows unironically or uncritically, esp given that I would guess most of the OC and NJ housewives voted for him, also half the Ny wives, and probably half the BH housewives.

if you pm me I'd be willing to talk about it but I doubt I'll have anything to say that'll blow your mindToggle Spoiler
I recently listened to the audiobook of The Andy Cohen Diaries while on a road trip and would definitely recommend it if you're a fan of these shows.
Scramble did you see the RHONJ premiere? My girlfriend just made me watch it and it was pretty hilarious how they just obviously shoehorned Danielle’s return in with complete disregard for making it part of an organic storyline.

I actually had not but I just went to go watch that specific moment and holy fucking shit. Complete disregard.
I wonder what would happen if they just broke the 4th wall and were like "yup so Danielle was invited back on by the producers so we'll see where this goes."
But thank god she is back.
I dunno if I can stomach Jersey - Teresa makes me so uncomfortable and sad.
