Housewives of Orange County & Bethenny

This is going to come as a great surprise, but I am a huge fan of Bravo’s Housewives franchise.  I’m not gonna lie.  It’s fun to watch catty women who have too much money (most of them) and way too much time on their hands.  Right now it is the Housewives of Orange County (HWOC), the original series, and the New York (HWNYC).  It amazes me that these ladies drive Bentleys, get a ton of plastic surgery, and then their houses go into foreclosure (or a “modified loan” as some like to put it).  WTF?!  Let’s discuss the last couple of episodes.  First, Peggy’s husband puts down the food of Top Chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Miliken.  Really low budget chefs right? Then he asked for deep fried Oreos…Yikes, that made me cringe. 

Then came the actual dinner party.  Alexis has to excuse herself to go to the bathroom and cry because she can’t handle being away from her husband for one night.  A night away from the ball and chain?  Sounds like a great excuse to throw a party and blackout.  Maybe she was crying about the possibility of losing her house?  Whatever the case, Jesus Barbie (as Tamra calls her) annoys the sh*t out of me.

Bethenny is a former Housewife of NYC and one of my faves.  Her sense of humor is very dry, sarcastic and frighteningly feels like I’m listening to myself.  I just read that she sold her Skinny Girl brand for….wait for it…$120 Million GASP!  Totally bananas.  She took an idea and did what everyone aspires to do with it.  Mad props!  Last night’s episode was pretty hilar.  My personal favorite part was when her hubby Jason was under the Christmas tree and lets out a fart.  When everyone starts laughing he comes out and says, “What?  Is there a duck in here?”  Oh my sides.  Next up is HWNYC on Thursday night…
