Real Housewives Franchise

Time to adjust the RHOOC Hate-O-Meter after last night's episode!

JO: Incredibly, I hate her even more now, having had her lack of singing ability or basic life competence drilled into my head a little more.

VICKI: Forget about your kids liking you until they're in their 30s. Just the nature of the beast. And if you want to get some respect from your son, don't offer him a car for making a B+ average! (Also: don't show up on game day and expect to be welcomed with open arms. Other people -- even your kids -- have lives that don't revolve around you.) The hate has increased.

JEANA: Slight decrease in the hate this week, as her marriage is clearly a shit sandwich. (I cannot stop using that term when it comes to this show!) I continue to like her daughter, and of course I'm currently wearing my "Free Colton" armband.

LAURI: The hate has increased, as she has revealed her total lack of parenting skills. I'm imagining Jo from Supernanny yelling at Lauri, "Don't play her game! You're the parent! Demand respect!" Alas, too late. You can't go boozing with your kids and then expect them to respect you. (See also: Vicki and her keg stand.)

TAMMY: The hate is holding steady, although she was a little too encouraging of the exploitation going on at the "O.C. Angels" photo shoot. Also, I'm inherently dubious of anyone who would marry that piece of shit Lou and stay married to him long enough to produce 2 kids.

In summation:
INCREASED HATE: Jo, Lauri, Vicki

DECREASED HATE: Jeana

NO NET CHANGE IN HATE: Tammy

SUDDEN, OVERWHELMING HATE: Lou

[thetigs]

Aren't Lou and his crew married to very young Vietnamese women? That alone piles on the hate. He's just gross. Actually, I think all of the men are gross. I don't like Duff - he seems so pushy and passive/aggressive.

Oy. I forgot about the keg stand. I actually didn't know what that was until I saw a picture of it yesterday afternoon in Traffic Chick's/Ratscabies virtual reception. Anyway, that was very embarrassing. So was Vicki's sobbing in the bathroom, making a scene. I would've died.

Lou and his crew--sounds like they should be on "The Sopranos."

And they're married to young Thai women who look older than his kids!

Speaking of, he must be about 70 (he mentioned being 25 years older than Tammy a few weeks ago). Could his face be pulled any tighter?

[thetigs]

Yikes! He's 70!? I haven't been paying very close attention to some of the episodes or I fall asleep while it's on - I have a vague recollection of a daughter (the oldest with that skinhead looking boyfriend) visiting Lou with his new wife and the daughter was not pleased. I just assumed he was close in age to Tammy. I'm with GNC - what did she see in him? They were married for a long time. I wonder if Tammy was his first marriage.

Man, this show is nuts.

Firstly- Jo can't sing. AT ALL. I think the record producer was calling her bluff by saying he really wishes she would show her "range." Only problem is that she doesn't have a range, unless you consider ear-splitting raccoon shrieks a "range."

B. That OC Angels thing was awesome. Ashley thinking they were going to Vietnam and calling it a "sales job," Clumpy McMascara saying "pacifically" instead of "specifically," those two skanks fighting- it was all awesome.

For big laughs, please visit the OC Angels Air Water Aqua Whores website.

Interestingly, only Ashley and Lindsey are on it- so Kara and Breanna must have wised up.

ETA: Couldn't help but write what Lindsey's future goal is- "When she becomes successful, she would love to help prevent poaching of animals for their fur and would like to help down syndrome kids." BWAH!

I thought the OC Angels were supposed to be clean cut, athletic and all about eating right? Clean cut translates into young blonde girls in high-cut red satin dresses making pouty mouths at a camera? Ok, Orange County. I'm waiting for a West Side Story-style knife fight with the Fanta chicks. Someone's getting cut!

[scarlet]

LOL, that website! If it's all about clean-cut why are they dressed like strippers?

And I have a hard time believe Lindsey has a 3.5 GPA when she doesn't even know the difference between "specific" and "pacific."

Her husband is such a jerk and if you notice his tool of a son is just like him.

All these people have money to blow but are absolutely pathetic.
Do they realize what people are thinking when they watch them? Or do they think we are watching and heaving a sigh because we are not them?

[indygirl]

I don't like any of these people. Even Colton annoyed me this episode.

[monkeypants]

I'm embarassed and ashamed Jo attended my university and majored in one of my majors.

God. Way to reinforce the stereotypes about UCI students, Jo.
