Real Housewives are Real fun

So I would like to start by apologizing for my recent absence from the blog world. I had ankle surgery two weeks ago and have been getting better, but in doing so, I have forsaken the postings. Well, I am back.

One show that has entertained me beyond belief is the Real Housewives of New York. This show follows a group of "high class" women living their lives not only in New York, but throughout the world. The reason I say that the women of this show are "high class" is because while being a part of the upper echelons of society, their behavior and maturity levels do not always reflect that.

In watching  the emotional happenings of the show, the extremes of female behavior are demonstrated. Some of the women, Jill Zarin in particular, act as though they are still in high school. They treat the other women based on how it benefits their own lives. An example of this occurred when Ramona invited all the women to her bachelorette get away in the Virgin Islands. Albeit, this get away was before Ramona's recommitment ceremony and not her first wedding, but Jill, who was not originally going to be there, crashed the party on the last day. This was after Jill had big falling outs with both Bethenny and Alex, henceforth, chaos ensued. During this trip to the Virgin Islands, viewers also got the witness the massive meltdown of Kelly, which was some of the most entertaining and disturbing TV. However, Kelly's meltdown taught me that gummy bears and lollipops can fix anything. Other women showcased within this series, like LuAnn de Lessepes, act with total class. When confronted with a problem, they addresses it and make sure that all ends are tied up, keeping as much private as possible. The combination of these reactions adequately portray how different females act and behave on a daily basis.

My sister was the person who got me hooked on this show a couple of years ago. She got me started by exposing me to the Real Housewives of New York and from there I got hooked on the Real Housewives of New Jersey. What drew me to the Jersey version is the drama that fills the episodes and how the women react to it as a whole. It is full of laughs, gasps, and a few tears. On The Jersey version, I think the episode that most people will remember is the one where Danielle Staub's past is revealed at a dinner attended by all the Housewives. A book, written by an ex-boyfriend of Danielle's, talked about how Danielle was once put under arrest and used to be a dancer. When Danielle became aware of the fact that some of the Housewives had made this information known publicly, she exploded at them yelling and sending the dinner into a chaotic fight. This was, however, after she freaked out during a charity event, throwing champagne at Teresa and had her hair weave pulled out by Jacqueline's daughter. It was very entertaining. Basically, any episode of New Jersey Housewives that includes Danielle is an episode to watch.

 No matter what, something will hook you when it comes to the Real Housewives. So if you have free time on your hands, flip the channel to Bravo and have yourself a good time.
