Real Housewives Franchise

[bklynred]

Dude...that is horrible. Yes, it would've been a downer, but IMO, just one mention of it also would've humanized Slade a bit, rather than the soap opera-ish 'let's not mention him at all' tack. Auron, thanks for the info.

Holy crap. I can't imagine having a child with a brain tumor and still being assailed by Jo's bullshit. Why on earth doesn't he cut her loose to fail spectacularly and pass out in her own vomit??

[topher]

His child has a brain tumor and he is making a reality show. Nice priorities, dad.

[bklynred]

Not just a reality show. A singing sensation. "I wanna be...(whisper) your girl."

Just when you think the bag can't be any douchier...

[Deleted]

I believe the term is Douche Lord, and this one naturally drives a Hummer.

And speaking of hummers, Jo must give great ones because I can't for the life of me figure out why Slade throws his cash at her and puts up with her bullshit.

[bklynred]

Slade has issues. He's completely paranoid at all times that she's out shopping for an upgrade. And she spends all her free time whining in baby talk and taunting that she's out getting loaded. I feel like I should be writing a paper on their relationship dynamics.

[girlnamedcarl]

If you do, please please please try to work in the term "shit sandwich." It's clinical! Really!

[thetigs]

Jo: an idiot and a huge baby who cannot, and should not, sing. EVER AGAIN.

Vicki: pathetic, clinging, and determined to have people think she is hot, hot, hot. She is not.

Jeana: married to a jerk.

Duff: a passive-aggressive idiot.

Tammy...ditch the loser (and who's the doctor she's dating? Not the same one from the blind date? She was so mean to him.).

Slade: there are no words. However, please don't ever attempt to act as if you have any sort of rhythm. Your head bops and snapping fingers to Jo's sad song was horrible.

Lauri: you need to stop worrying about catching a man and parent your children. Your daughter is an irresponsible slob. Where is your son? Who cares for your youngest daughter while you're traipsing around the world with George? And stop with the Botox. Your face doesn't even move anymore and has the appearance of melting plastic.

God, these people just annoy me! I don't know if I can stomach the finale.

Usually I lurk here, but since they closed the Housewives TWOP board, I'm going through withdrawal not being able to read and bitch about the awfulness of these people.

The whole Aqua Girls thing - sad and pathetic. I found it so amusing when Ashley commented that Michelle (she came in last and fought with Taylor - over a guy I guess?) was ugly. I actually thought she was the prettiest out of all of them. Kara looked cute, but both Lindsey and Ashley looked absolutely awful. And could Lindsey and Ashley wear anymore eye makeup? They're like younger versions of Tammy Fae Baker. Lindsey's eye makeup is the worst - she has so much mascara on she looks like she has three huge eyelashes. Yuck.

And while Tammy seems the nicest and most normal, I've been thinking she's acting because how else would her two daughters turn out so self-entitled and snotty? Duff - move on already. She doesn't deserve you!

Lauri - I just shake my head whenever she is on screen. I was hoping Ashley would say some juicy shit when they were discussing the townhome because all the stuff Lauri was saying was comical considering if she didn't have George she wouldn't be so 'together'. Also, it costs $5,000 for Ashley to live there? Seriously? That's insane. Ashley is right though - Lauri is stupid for selling her townhome after knowing George for only a short time. Plus when she was telling Ashley she needs to figure out what she needs to do with her life, etc., I was hoping Ashley would shoot back, "become a golddigger like you!" I can't believe people think that Lauri is attractive, it's really mind boggling. I would LOVE to see her without makeup. Love it. Oh, and I wonder what she thought of Ashley saying Lauri's age (46).

Jeana - It's pretty sad when your daughter says that she should have a boyfriend. She's probably the breadwinner so maybe that's why she doesn't divorce Matt. Otherwise, I have no idea why they would stay together. It's clear they're roommates who barely tolerate each other.

Jo/Slade - I hate them. There were rumors on the TWOP boards they were paid actors, and I often wonder if that's true. Jo just thinks she is so hot, the way she giggles and acts. It drives me insane. I was so hoping that music executive would tell her that she can't sing for shit. I also wish that Jo would learn how to talk normal, and not phrase everything in sentences, or pause every three words.

Vicki - I can't believe I felt sorry for her, but truly, did she expect Michael to be happy with her showing up? Why can't she realize that if she backs up and acts like a normal mom - not one who gets drunk with his friends like she's 18 - maybe she'll have a better relationship with him. His friends/girlfriend clearly felt bad for her since they were telling him that basically, "dude, she's your mom." I understand her motivation, but unless the producers suggested the 'surprise', she really should have thought it through more.

Thank god we were Shane-free this episode.
