Real Housewives Franchise

He had a 4 year old. I think. I'm guessing the mom decided she didn't want him on camera and took him back.

Okay, quick poll: Why on earth were those producers recording with Jo?

1 - Bravo paid them to.
2 - Hey, any exposure is good.
3 - Hey, any chance to rub up on a skinny semi-attractive chick is good.
4 - Bad acid.

She was awful!![/b] And she brought the same snotty sense of entitlement to the studio that she brings everywhere else. Absolutely nothing is incumbent upon her: not being on time, not being able to perform with or without her damn espresso, not knowing jack shit about music. Hate!!!!

Jo was awful, and yet they were immediately able to "transform" her lyrics, her music and her vocals. I don't doubt they could get her music into radio stations without much problem. The whole thing was disgusting to watch. When she whispers "I wanna be your girl" and they all freak out, I just sighed in resignation.

I'm surprised that more of the ex's haven't freaked out about their kids being on camera. Especially Lauri's ex. Where is that guy? All of Josh's problems have been played out on this stupid show. Did any of you read the article in The Orange County Register? It was linked at TWOP. It's our local paper. The reported really reamed Lauri about her parenting skills. Josh apparently posted in the comments, revealing even more dirty laundry. It's sad that a regular, non-famous family has all their dysfunctions exposed for media consumption, just like the O'Neal's of Malibu! But that's what these women wanted when they signed up to do the show. What a great thing to do for your kids, Lauri. If I were Josh, the minute I turned eighteen, I would move out of California.

I usually don't watch the Real Housewives, but I caught this scene in the studio and now I have a strange desire to dropkick that Jo person if I ever meet her in real life. People can be stupid or even act stupid, but to be unbearably stupid is truly a gift.

Get in line!

Home sick today. Anyway, it's eerie how much Gavin resembles Slade.

Seeing repeats of the "Josh is no good and that's why he can't come to Hawaii" episode makes me feel bad for him too. His mom's words just don't match the level of distance the family has from him. I guess it would help if his mom had actual facial expressions.

I missed last week's episode. Jo sang?? Good lord...did she move her mouth in that weird Gumbyesque manner?

Lauri's face is just melting. At least during last season, she looked like she still had human features.

I'm sure they'll repeat it...probably tonight before the new one, thetigs. (Good to see ya back, btw). It is truly horrifying, but in a grinning, "this is the life you chose, missy" kind of way.

Thanks bklynred...it's good to be back!

I have a "celebrity" sighting of my own. The whining Housewife's (who used to have the biggest house in Coto) son goes to the same school as Tig1! She was coming out as I was going in and I had trouble placing her. She was so familiar, but I couldn't figure where I had seen her before. Normally, I don't pay much attention to the other parents because they kind of bug. Anyway, I finally remembered her after she had already passed by. She seemed nice enough, I guess, smiling and friendly. She was talking to a teacher. She looked the same as on television.
