Never watched OC (or NY, for that matter) as I couldn't see where those women's lifestyles were in any way reflective of housewifery—at least not in the stays-at-home-and-does-her-own-cleaning-and-cooking lifestyle that fits my definition of housewife!
However, I did watch SG, and it just reinforced for me that I was right in not watching any of the so-called Real Housewives incarnations.
Yuck! They are pretty revolting...
This is from the RHoOC Bravo boards....
http://boards.bravotv.com/index.php?showtopic=168576NOTE: Because of certain posts to this message board, we've switched the Real Housewives message board to "moderator approval required". This means any comments you write to the boards will not show up immediately; Bravo staff has to go through and manually approve them.
This is not a change we're making lightly. We're usually *very* hands-off with our message boards for all of our shows. And we really really don't want to start banning people for bad behavior -- it's a *very* rare step for us -- but we've already had to do that to two different people on this board in the past week.
We're *not* interested in censoring people's opinions here, but we can't go on having runaway posts and comments that invade the Housewives' privacy (or their families' privacy). Oh, and posting their home phone numbers or personal e-mail addresses or private details in a public forum is *not* okay. You'd think that would be obvious to everyone, but apparently not.
So please feel free to talk about the show, but let's not get so carried away here, okay?
Keep it clean, and keep it legal, that's all we're asking. Now, back to the show...!
