OK, I draw the line at Rachel Zoe, but I know what you mean about Bravo...

Talk about your "hot messes"! The funny thing is I caught DH watching it the other night, while I was making dinner. At the table I said, "How come you were watching Rachel Zoe?" Him: "I wasn't watching that." Well, I guess I have the smartest cat in the world, because she must have just learned to use the remote control!

LOL...I didn't mean to start watching Rachel Zoe either, it just sorta happened . I swear if I hear her say "D-I-E, die" over one more thing I'm gonna go crazy.

Oh yea, I will be front and center for the Real Housewives of Atlanta on Oct. 7 .

I love Bravo! I watch everything except Rachael Zoe... and I don't know why I don't watch her, I just don't.

I LOVED OC Housewives. A majority of them make their own money... they don't live off of their husbands. A new "season" is starting soon and I look forward to what Jeana is doing now that she is single.

NY was okay. I really liked Bethanny, but she wasn't really a houswife, so I was confused why she was there. But I liked her a bunch.

This one ~ Atlanta... I told myself I wouldn't watch, then I watched the 30 minute pre-view. Now I KNOW I will watch when it starts next month.

All I needed to see was the preview where she said "that's bananas" about 4 million times and I knew there was no way I'd be able to sit through it.

So did any of you guys watch it on Tuesday?

The bimbo's of OC were annoying, but they seemed to flaunt a little less and they were married to tycoons not sports stars. I certainly don't remember them having that kind of house staff. Maybe because it is in the south that the lifestyles are very different.

The OC housewives definitely were not as annoying. Most of them had careers and seemed somewhat intelligent. You can tell that these women were not raised with a lot of money but they are trying to make you think that they were. They really have no class.

Her voice drives me crazy, she always sounds half asleep. I cannot stand her assistant Taylor, either. I feel bad for Brad.

I did. NeNe was so obnoxious when her name was left off the guest list. It probably was done intentionally, but she reacted exactly how Sheree would have wanted her to.

 

[mamacatnv]

I did watch it and honestly they were way to snooty for me. Who the heck needs a Nanny, a Governess, a house manager and whatever else for a family of 4. Their condescending tones and attitudes were annoying.

They think extremely highly of themselves and they are obnoxious! Most of them married new money, lets see how it is when their super star DH's blow out a knee or Big Daddy's wife see's the show and figures it out.

Ya got me, I fell into this one. I think out of all of them I would like NeNe to be my friend, at least you know she will tell it like it is. Sherre no thank you, I will betcha a dollar she will be the biggest back stabber of them all. Lisa is the most self made & down to earth. Kim not gonna touch she is a piece of work. Deshawn seems pretty normal too, she just caught up in the new house & stuff.

Kae

Oh crap can't wait until next week

 

[meloneyb21]

Yea, I could be cool with Lisa. Maybe NeNe, she just seems obnoxious. That darn Sheree is a piece-of-work....I mean who the heck is she that she needs a publicist and creative director?

Kim.....kim kim kim . She is TOTALLY a mistress and that hair needs a tranquilizer. Deshawn is okay, she's just a little too excessive with the staff. I mean, you hire all these people and then get an estate manager so that you don't have to deal with any of them directly?

ETA: I could've died when Kim said she is just a black woman in a white woman's body.

That comment really bothered me. So she is going to hire a nanny and a governess to take care of her children, yet she won't speak to them directly. Everything has to go through the Estate Manager. Those kids will be so messed up.

This is what I found regarding the difference between a nanny and a governess. It still doesn't make sense that you would have both.

"A governess is normally a college-educated person who most likely has a degree in early childhood education. A governess would be responsible for daily activities with the children; activities that are very closely related to things a parent would do. A governess would do housekeeping that is related to the children under her care, rather than doing housework for the entire household. Besides the typical nanny job requirements, a governess would also be in charge of educating the children in her care. Many governesses home school the children in their care. Many times a governess isn't in charge of young children, instead she is responsible for the care and education of school-age children."

I watched and the woman that threw herself a party was a huge, well I cant say that here.
I actually liked the one that was married to the NFL player. She worked plus had her own childrens clothing line and jewlery. SHe actually had a job which the others dont seem to.

 

[lowie]

i watched it with my dh half asleep next to me. during one of the interviews with sheree he turned over and says 'omg, that woman is a witch'.
i like the asian/black lady, at least she works. i like that her and her dh met and married quickly, they seem to be a cute couple.
nene reminds me of pepa from salt and pepa. she'd be a hoot to hang out with.
the blond actually came off as cool to me, she seems to really love her kids and so what if her BF doesn't want to be on TV.
the lady with the house manager seems like a snooze fest to me, nothing exciting there.

 

[Nik's Mom]

I finally caught last week's episode yesterday. OMG! They are all so full of themselves and so materialistic. I can't stand it (but I must watch it).

 

[JBurke]

Gosh-the one married to the NBA player who needed a chef, a maid staff, an estate manager, a governess and a nanny? So with all those people helping her-what the heck does she do all day long??

That just made me sick.

Do NBA players really make that much money that they can afford all that? Its not like he is a household name like Michael Jordan.

Yes, but unfortunately they spend it all quickly and many end up with financial problems shortly after they retire.

http://www.lebasketbawl.com/2008/01/60-of-nba-players-broke-after-5-years.html

Jason Caffey made $29 million in 8 years and is in bankruptcy. Latrell Spreewell, who famously said $21 wasn't enough to "feed his family" has his home in foreclosure and his yacht was just repo'd. Scottie Pippen was broke and playing basketball in Finland to make some extra money.

I expect to see Eric Snow on that list shortly the way his wife is spending his money on that show.

Oh I loved it. I want to know who "Big Daddy or Pappa" is? I don't know why I want to say Michael Jordon. I'm pretty sure he's black. I could be wrong, but I think so. I'm pretty sure he's married too so maybe its not Michael Jordon. He's divorced now. Take a guess at who Big Poppa might be?

I heard it speculated that it was either Ted Turner or NeNe's husband. I don't think it's either, but the thought of her with Ted Turner really cracks me up.

There are rumors floating around that it's Dallas Austin the producer that is working on her CD.

The other rumor is that it's someone that's married - an Atlanta real estate developer. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he's "outed".

Those women are disgusting!

Those women are disgusting!

Atlanta is part of the "dirty south" you know. These ladies prove it oh so well.
