Oh you just KNOW those Richards sisters are going to tie themselves to the Van Pattens somehow. Maybe they were all on Fantasy Island together or something. Those chicks love to talk about their 70s and 80s connections.

On Demand has the first 2 episodes of the RHo Melbourne, Australia. If you like these things, you will not be disappointed.
One, Jackie, is married to the drummer from Silverchair, which even in Australia in 2014 I think might not be such a big deal? But maybe it is. Anyway, she never lets anyone forget that they "live a rock and roll lifestyle". Which includes lots of champagne and someone else putting sparkly makeup on her legs. Oh, and as they decorate their new house, she's put a large round table in a round corner. She asks her husband if he thinks his parents will like "this" and she sort of gestures to the whole thing. He tells her that his parents "hate round tables", which I would guess foreshadows some sort of multi generational blowout if I know these shows. People on these shows have thrown tables over, but not because they objected to something about the table, so that will be new. Oh, and she's also psychic, which she never shuts up about either. And I actually kind of like her so far, as these people go. Faint praise, I know.
The rest include a barrister with the worst eye make up of the franchise (she coordinates her eye liner to her clothes, even kelly green...you have to see this), who also is still outlining her lips with a darker color.
There is a happily married for 23 years couple who run businesses together. I think I can say with confidence that their happy marriage will be no more by the end of season 2. Just based on what these shows do to people, not based on them.
There someone who looks like Catherine Zeta Jones that people are saying is having sex with her stepson. Not sure if that is fact, from the future episodes or speculation based on a weird shopping trip where she tried on a Dita von Teese see through trench coat in front of him (with underwear on underneath). He claimed to be baffled by the purpose of the see through trench, and also repeatedly asked what "faux" leather was re: a cruelty free handbag. The answer (repeatedly) was "vinyl", but I think he just doesn't know what faux means. Not sure. Oh, and in a TH she called him "a big spunk" and seemed to think she was being "naughty" (already tired of her frisky sex talk). Sooo, Aussies, did she actaully call him "a big ejaculate"? I'm hoping for a language difference here, but her behavior makes it unclear.
I couldn't understand them all the time, but I plan to continue watching. And I want them to put subtitles on the RHo Athens, Greece and air that too.
I have a problem since the cancelled Psych and Leverage.
Oh, and somewhere over at Ptv Tara Ariano said of the Jersey franchise that they're a big cloud of hairspray marble topped kitchen island hopping while shouting FAMILY! or something like that, but I thought it was funny/accurate.

Interesting, but I wouldn't trust Media Fake Out. Here's what really pisses me off though, to call a "social climber" a gold digger. I've started to notice that if a black woman wants to NOT marry a sorry man, folks have the audacity to call her a gold digger, as if black women aren't supposed to think, "maybe it'll be better for my future children if the man has a real JOB that doesn't involve saying, 'you want fries with that?'" |

I THINK it only means that she thinks he's hot - not anything to do with his, yeah, eww. But after seeing her husband who desperately needs an eyelift or something from the other wife's plastic surgeon husband - he IS hot(ter)!
They all seem to have taken makeup lessons from watching the Kardashians ...wtf? I guess Catherine Zeta Jones isn't so bad, but the others are caking that shit on like nobody's business! Especially the barrister ... whom I can't quite get a read on. Is she really pretty under the makeup, or is she a guy?
Anyway, there's a chick actually named "Chyka" (chica), but they all seem to have real money and are at least not pretenders like the BH gals. And I like accents. What can I say - I'm watchin'!

Just started watching RH of Melbourne and I swear to God this show has to be a joke! It's cracking me up. Half these women look like drag queens.
And omg, the kooky psychic who is married to Silverchair's drummer and thinks he looks like Johnny Depp... HA!!

And the one who flew to Tasmania to buy cheese! Hundreds of dollars worth of cheese! These women are crazy. But I enjoy their accents and low voices.

I love RH of Melbourne! Are they for real?? They are such charicatures. HGTV is relieved at the reduced bitchiness directed at one another...
I mean, I guess...

If I were filthy rich, I'd totally fly somewhere to buy hundreds of dollars worth of cheese... now, that's the kind of excess I can get behind.  Is it just me, or is Lydia totally sleeping with her stepson? Mulva, I'm not sure they're for real either. Jackie has to be acting at least part of the time... she's just SO ridiculous! The scene where she and Ben were meeting with the party planners for their Mexican party was just a thing of beauty. And she definitely has buckets of misplaced self-confidence, wow. I kind of love Chyka and her house! She's probably my favorite by default. I mostly like Gina too... she's like a cross between Phaedra Parks (constantly reminding us that she's a BARRISTER!), Adrienne Maloof (her over-the-top makeup and style), and Lisa Vanderpump (something about her general demeanor and her Dynasty hairstyle). |

I think Lydia is sleeping with her stepson! They probably roll around in all the cheese while her husband is out flying around.
Janet seems ok except for the horrific work she keeps having done to her face. And Chyka seems to really know about business. I liked how Gina explained how someone misquoted her but it didn't mean anyone was lying.
*sigh* I'm in.
