There are lot of these type of shows. Shows where we just follow people who lead a bit of a different life than regular Joe. The Real Housewives franchise is one of my favourites. There are a few different cities that we look at; these are New York, New Jersey, Beverly Hills, The O.C, Atlanta, Miami, Washington D.C and Vancouver (and then random ones around the world like Melbourne and Athens). Real Housewives is a weird title to give to this show: 1 because they are not housewives by any stretch of the imagination, 2 because a lot of them aren't even wives.
I only watch 3 of them (even I don't have the time to watch them all). My favourite ones are New York, Atlanta and New Jersey. My favourite Housewives are as follows:
1. Bethenny Frankel (New York)
Her wit and humour make her a stand out of all the shows. I love her and she is one of the few that I would love to hang out with. She hasn't had the best experience on the show; she lost her best friend and was constantly put down as the 'Underdog'. She now has a billion dollar empire thanks to her SkinnyGirl brand, her own chat show and her own reality show. Who's laughing now?
2. NeNe Leakes (Atlanta)
If there is one star from any Real Housewives show it is her. She impressed everyone with her humour and out spoken personality. Not one to shy away from drama. She even got Hollywood to notice her - with staring roles in Glee and The New Normal. She doesn't need this show any more but still does it - for a cool $1million fee ( the highest for any housewife ever).
3. Teresa Guidice (New Jersey)
Probably most famous for her table flipping incident, she is the biggest character of her franchise. Although I find her slightly annoying in later seasons, especially the drama with her sister-in-law (just let it go and be a family!) the show would not be the same without her. New Jersey needs her.
4. Jill Zarin (New York)
She is outspoken, likes to be in the middle of drama and she stirs shit up, she is reality TV gold. Its a shame she got dropped from the show because she brought a lot of the drama - I think she broke friendships with every housewife from New York. Most devastatingly her and Bethenny aren't best buds any more. Hopefully with the cameras gone they have re-connected.
5. Kim Zolciak (Atlanta)
With her amazing wigs, chain smoking and love for money she was an amazing cast choice for the show. She was introduced as NeNe's best friend on the show, and like every friendship on these shows it disintegrated. However Kim now has her own spin off and announced her 4th pregnancy so I don't think she cares - her life is pretty good.
I can't see these shows every ending and I ain't mad about that. We all a love a bit of trashy TV and its nice to know sometimes how the 1% lives.
Other notable women from the shows are Sonja Morgan, Kandi Burruss, LuAnn de Lesseps, Melissa Gorga and Danielle Staub - without these women their shows wouldn't be on the air.
