I am confused about all this SCREAMING and YELLING constantly by the ladies.........I think it's all Bravo..........I think it's all scripted. The reason I am stating this is because all the MEN on the show appear to state over and over again how they like MIKE, (Kelly's ex) and they like DAVID (Shannon's ex). Leads me to think that the couples always must have had allot of fun when they would go out together as a group or just 4 for dinner or whatever fun activity. You never hear any of the men speak of each other in the following manner ...... " I am mad at such and such" or " I don't like what such and such said about me" ........ And I am guessing there is always alcohol involved when they are with each other. Sooooo........hmmmmm........!!!!!!  |

Doesn't this reflect some of the "men are from mars women are from Venus" differences between men and women in general? Associated with this show or not, I think that generally men will argue about something and then move on, while women will continue to bring up the issue over and over. I think that some men have an easier time disagreeing on a topic but still liking a person, while women can get hung up on disagreeing on a subject and dismiss the person outright. And I think that women tend to feel a need to remain loyal to one person in a couple that splits up, while men don't see the connection of getting along with someone and that person's attachment to a spouse. So on TV or not, these behaviors don't seem unusual to me. With this group specifically, I think another big difference is that the men are together less often. While they may go out to dinner at times as couples, I think most of the men's interaction with each other is parties where they all gather. So a few times a year, they are together for a few hours and make small talk while their wives film. But the women are together a lot more often for filming, and as part of their jobs are required to talk about and rehash any incident several times. |

It's very difficult when couples break up, and friends still want to be friends. These women see it as a betrayal...the guys aren't being filmed,so I really don't see the harm in it, but I understand it.

Kelly drunk is just more of what she already is- her hideous character is magnified when she’s drunk. I have a hard time looking at her, with that big red slash of a mouth. She seems reptilian, all gnashing, sharp, venomous and gritty edges. Sober, she’s oddly abrasive and disgusting. Drunk, she’s beyond redemption. She’s so clearly a lowlife, she doesn’t belong in polite society. I don’t care for her - I guess it shows.

But the women are together a lot more often for filming, and as part of their jobs are required to talk about and rehash any incident several times. I disagree with the “men vs women” angle. I believe reactions to life’s incidents have more to do with intellect and sensibility than with gender. There is no one in my group of friends, men NOR women, who are constrained by labels about clinging to emotions, not letting go, whatever it is that’s used to demean women when compared to men. I’ve never seen them “act up” like people on the RH shows. The women on RH, as portrayed in episodes we see, are simple minded women, perhaps confident or even accomplished in some ways, but continuing to react to life’s issues in an immature manner. All that screaming, yelling, fighting, crying, victimization.... it’s a matter of intellect, socialization, and vision of who they are in the world. Many of the men on the RH episodes are similarly constrained- they may be wealthy or accomplished in some ways, but they’re underachievers as functioning adults. That’s why Bravo hires these people. They’re flawed. |

The man that Shannon went on a date with seemed nice...but I did not see the connection there.
I hate to say..but I am liking Tamra this season. She seems to be the voice of reason...
I felt bad for Gina...I hope things look up for her.
Emily is growing on me...anyone find it amusing that she's way bigger than her husband? He is so small compared to her...

Just watched the epi with Ick’s birthday party- she seemed so normal, I’d like more of that. Somewhere in there, maybe there’s a decent person. Steve is solicitous of her, but there’s something aloof about his relationship with her.... I guess he’s just along for the ride. Her relationship with him, though, she does want a husband, wonder if she even knows whether she loves the guy or not.
Shannon’s date - she’s coming out of her shell; hope she has a good life after all the marriage/divorce angst. Good to see her laugh.

I am liking Gina a lot.
I cannot believe how much these women were projecting on her tonight.
Sometimes things just don't work. Leave it at that and stop trying to tell Gina what she must be feeling.
She isn't.
And, it is her life, not yours.

Ugh! So Gina has to stay in a marriage that is loveless? You can't just be unhappy and divorce, you have to miserable for years. Ok ladies.
Vicky and her horrible religion saying that if you don't believe in her God you 'rot in all eternity'. I thought that spot was reserved for people who pretended to their friends that her boyfriend has cancer.

I was so annoyed with Vicki and the other ladies ganging up on Gina because she doesn't believe in God. News flash...not everyone believes in God..it doesn't make you a bad person! Sometimes I just cant with religious hypocrites..

So why did Steve dump Vicky last year? do we know..? I think the women( as Emily said) were just trying to prepare Gina for what she might go through, nothing more. I don't fully understand it, if they are attracted to one another, having sex, best friends etc..why IS she getting a divorce.?? My take, they have grown out of love, that happens. Her kids seem to hit one another a lot..that needs to stop, because they even hit her last week..  Kelly I can take in small doses, Shane does have a very dry wit, Kelly wont ever understand that, that's why Michael and Kelly never got along..she's all about the look of the guy. Tamra, I noticed this episode, says enough to stir, then steps aside with a quick, " it's none of my business.." but if they left her out, she wouldn't like it.. |

That husband...Shane...no I just can't. Isn't he the same man who screamed at Gina to get the %$^* out of his house? Not a fan of the 2 new housewives. I think OC has run its course. It's dull, bland & downright boring.

He is horrible. He is rude and entitled. To me he looks like Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo - but sadly he doesn't have Mr. Hankey's personality.

The lawsuit looks like a whole lotta nothing. Beador probably can afford legal fees; Tamra not so much. Bellino always appeared to be a lowlife slime. |

It's dull, bland & downright boring. If activity on the "Fans of Reality TV" page right here is an indication, there's little interest in any of Bravo's HW shows. They've had a good run, and I'm still watching some episodes, but no longer making sure to see them all. They bleed together, even across HW cities, "same old - same old". They mostly are repetitive storylines, old and stale. |

It's all the same, yell scream, accuse, point fingers then kiss & make up. I am never okay with a house husband thinking he has a stake in the game because that is what these shows have become. I'm, quite frankly, bored and over them. |

I’ve never ridden a motorcycle in my life. I’ve also never met Vicki in real life. But I could have told you without a question in my mind that putting Vicki on the back of a motorcycle was a VERY bad idea before they showed it!

I've ridden lots of times, Vicki turns everything into a drama queen moment. I bet Steve thought silly blank..screaming like that, ridiculous.
I thought Shannon did well on QVC, she seemed very natural, and in her TH with that cream dress on, she's looking good
Sophie was so nervous for her, and so proud.
Gina is okay one moment, down the next. I think some of the women were trying to tell her that.

Vicki's stupid screaming on the back of Steve's bike could have caused him to wipe out! I would have been extremely annoyed and told her to STFU!

Shannon discovering what she could do was very fun to see. I'm glad Tamra was there for her and was able to push her away from negative thoughts about herself!
I think that Gina got out to California, started looking around at lives that seemed cool and started convincing herself she wanted all that. That seemed evident when she was talking about seeing women drop their kids off at the grandparents to go to Target. What she doesn't seem to have figured out is that as image conscience as the area she's now in is, she's wishing for something that isn't real. I think the women are right to encourage her not to throw her marriage away just because she's wishing for a different life. But the way they are going about it is all wrong because they are making it about themselves instead of Gina's life.
