Yes...I watch it. Why? I think it's because I find it hard to believe people really act like that. Their "reality" is so far removed from my own life, I find it hard to believe their reality really exists. But then, I think about my own reality and it's probably hard for people to believe as well. Ha!
Real Housewives of OC, ATL, NJ and NY - It's hard for me to believe that grown women still act like they're in high school. Heck! I didn't even act like that in high school. If you don't like someone, why call them your "girlfriend"...why call them a "frenemy"? If the shows show anything, it's the lack of their own emotional maturity that appears blatant in every episode.
Tiny & Toya - This reality show was the biggest surprise of them all. Before I watched an episode, I kept hearing the word, "ghetto" being thrown around alot. Fortunately, what I saw was two young, single mothers, attempting to keep their families together through various illnesses and/or addictions. These two young women seem to have more maturity than most of the Housewives.
Kendra - Sloppy.
Jerseylicious - Stupid but the oddity (e.g. big hair, too much make up, fake nails, tight clothes and a fascination with leopard print) of the culture is worth watching for comic relief.
I realized a while back that "reality TV" is so heavily scripted, I don't think it should be called "reality TV" anymore. It's just another type of sitcom. Ok, in general...TV is such a waste of time. There are only 3 channels I really like to watch...the History Channel, Discovery Channel and Turner Classic Movies. The other 200 plus channels don't do much for me. Ha!
Could my life be a reality TV show? Nope. Too boring. How about your life?

Hahaha!!! I feel ya. I'm currently hooked on Planet Green. Totally into "Wa$ted" and those other shows you told me about, "Blood, Sweat & Takeaways" and "Blood, Sweat, and T-shirts." I don't know why but for me, there needs to be some *reason* to watch, something I can learn. I've never watched the other shows you mention. I think that "Housewives" would drive me nuts, but I don't know, maybe I should check it out. What do you think?!!!
I like the OC, ALT, and NY Housewives b/c it's on my favorite Bravo channel. Have never watched NJ Housewives. Other shows I loveee on Bravo are:
1) Top Chef: Great food. A great social experiment of team work, leadership, and stress management skills.
2) The Millionaire Matchmaker: it's such a great study of human dating behavior. Patty is hilariously honest and says things that I alway wished I could say out loud.
