I believe you. Are they any good? For some reason, scripted reality tv doesnt sound like reality tv at all

I like them, I got hooked with watching the New Jersey lot a good few years back, tho the Orange country were the first. .and since then I have watched every one of them. .

they are scripted in as much as the locations are set up and the producers put the ones more likely to give them good TV in the scene and also make sure they ruffle a few feathers along the way too.. same as TOWIE and MIC..

Ok I will try one episode now, which one do you recommend?

it's hard to say . .the OC was on a bit of a fight at the end of the last series and we've been waiting forever to see what happened next..  .BH is a third of the way into the current series..  I don't know what you like. .if you like real  fighty stuff as in holding peopel back, watch the reruns of New Jersey showing daytime on Lifetime I think,, you have to watch them to get to know the people and the back stories. .jumping in the middle can be confusing. .. it is usually a lot of bitching and mean girl stuff and threats of fists in NJ

Hi PCE good to see you again If I'd been here when you posted I would have recommended Beverley Hills which was on tonight as we're only about 3/4 episodes in. Yes they can all be argumentative at times but they're more upmarket than say the New Jersey wives lol.

Olly it was good to see BH again tonight  just hope I remember to tune into OC tomorrow afternoon after the long break I'm trying to remember how the last season ended but no, it's gone, I've forgotten lol.

Hi PCE.  Nene Leakes is a force of nature, nuttier than a Topic bar. I resisted watching any of the Real Housewives and then happened to leave it on one day (New York ladies) and I was hooked.  I can't say which is my favourite, as they all have their moments of brilliance and hilarity. 

ITV2 are also showing repeats of the DC HW's in the morning. .that one was eventually cancelled but there are two seasons if you want more of a fix..

I think I am a HW addict

The DC one I loved, but mainly because I knew a lot of the places where they were at.  Plus the family I stay with when I visit DC (I nannied their daughter when she was a baby), she is friends with the sister of the girl who was accused of stealing Mikelas car.

Vicki, oh what have you done 

oh gawd I didn't want to peek, I've not watched any yet I am saving them so I have a bit of a backlog for when there isn't any new ones... and also I had been watching the repeat of the NJ season 3 finales too..

I will be watching the first one tonight tho.. can't wait but also don't want to go thru them too quickly in case I run out  

I was saving them up too Olly, but I couldn't sleep last night so I ended up putting them on. 

I've watched the first one. .I agree Vicky

Punch and Judy lookey likey springs to mind, Or the witch in Wicked.. 

I know it was said that it was still slightly swollen after her surgery, but it looked a completely different colour to her neck, and not in a 'wrong shade of make up' way.

apparently she took advice from thingy [can't remember her name but tis the fake rich one]  and used her plastic surgeon . . who in their right mind would suggest a chin implant to someone with a very small mouth that makes her chin look large in the first place then puff her cheeks up on top of it all making her eyes look even smaller too.. result is totally weird   

funnily enough I always thought her neck needed work to match the rest of her botoxed face but that seems to have be left as is so it looks even worse now. .

Hello

all housewives fans I know Ollie tapes a lot so I'll just try and keep It to general gossip,on Lifetime Sky 156 that Is sorry about the Virgin number  I have just finished watching Series 3 of the New Jersey Housewives the reunion was good 

Now I'm confused they are showing It from the beginning again ,no series 4same with Beverly Hills just watched series 3 episode 9 and yet the first series are on 

Itv are showing the latest of Orange County 'but going over and over the others from the beginning ,bliddy hell confusing myself 

Anyhow hello and happy viewing ...at least It gives me another reason to swear at the box ...ta ta for now x

Ollie 

rubbish at quoting but LOL at your comments on Vicky plureeese let her love tank be filled as she keeps telling us 

heya Frodo. .know what you mean about confusion at what's what.. I have seen all the shows that have been shown over here and am now finally enjoying the new [to uk] seasons of BH's and OC..  we're still way behind on NY and NJ one's from what has been shown in the US..

after re watching the NJ series [can't wait for season 4 of that]  am finding the OC pretty tame in comparison.. I'd forgotten just how 'violent' bonkers mad  the NJ lot were.. 

and yeah you're right, I  am behind as have taped stuff to save it up for special TV time as usual

Hi Frodo and Olly

So I switched over to OC earlier and like you say Frodo they're showing a catch up of the last 8 series, with several hw's I've never seen as I didn't watch the earlier series. Yesterday they showed a trailer for today and it wasn't this boring rubbish! I was looking forward to seeing Vicki being told something - won't mention what lol.

Also what's happening with BH, haven't seen it for a few weeks, I thought it would be on last night but it wasn't. They've been showing a trailer for later this month though about the staff who work at Lisa's restaurant and it seems that's all it's going to be about. Why can't they just stick to a schedule, very frustrating.

Hello Yellow Rose

very confusing I watched Episode 9 series 3 of Beverly Hills so confusing usually on a Sunday Its catchup ..very frustrating and I see Vanderpump Rules Is doing the rounds now ..I can't find the tv guide to them all and last time I tried to download ..I ended up with loads of grief.

If anyone I RELY ON Ollie but I think we are all confused I just keep flicking through the channels drives me nuts

take care be back soon x

Hello Erin

she really does not look anything like the second picture on the latest series.

But you know what If this Is after that good luck to her ..

and thanks for the info xx

I started to watch it and the last one I watched was the reunion.

Vicky's daughter  came on and she was not to nice about Vicky's guy .Has the new season started and if so when and where is it on .Cheers in advance.

It's on every afternoon on ITV 2 Erin. The second pic of Vicki looks airbrushed to me. Maybe it's just me but I think her chin implant makes it look more pronounced

Its on now Erin        the latest series ITV 2 ...halfway through now though 10-30am weekday mornings and 4-10 in the afternoons  

sorry Yellow Rose we crossed posts  

No probs Frodo we must have been posting at the same time

Frodo and YR . .the BH's lot has been recording on my series link on Tuesday nights on Lifetime at 9pm. .catch up is Sunday as you say frodo. .

YR the OC thing was in celebration of 100 shows I think. .I'm still on Fridays show so have the joy of that to come

I've seen all seasons now .. after finding housewives via C4 showing the NJ lot a good few yrs back now, I then found the OC ones.. then the NY york ladies and then BH's came along as well.. oooh and Atlanta too.. can't stand NeeNee in that one .. and Miami ones as well.. came in a round series 3 of OC and found re runs of the older ones on a channel that I think is no longer going now .. Diva I think it was called.. they chop and change so much I loose track

Anyone think Gretchen has had some work done too since season 7? something very plastic about her this series.. 

Erin, New OC season 8 started on ITV2 beginning of last week..  ITV2 tend to show the OC, and NY ladies, Atlanta and reruns of NJ & BH's, but they are shown first on Lifetime as well as the BH ones and the Miami ladies too..  think that is all of them that are still going. .Vancouver and Washington had a few short seasons but there are 5 HW's left still going. 

Would google to double check but I always end up seeing  spoilers when trying to find out something about the HW's series which I hate...  and we don't do spoilers in here or if we do we give a warning at the very top of a post with a space after so we can scroll past quickly.. 

Cheers Ollie .

Definitely, plus the neck is still turkey like. .she forgot about sorting out that when going plastic..

Downloaded the three I have missed and set to record the series .This is series 3 we are on.

Will go on to Life and set to record that new series .

Can't wait to see Vicky!!

Hello Olly Yellow Rose(love your new avi ) erin cinds all other lovers of 

Housewives ..forgot to mention I'm up to date on the New york ones always tape the re-unions ,now they are showing Atlanta ones again from the start

forgot to mention E 151 are showing the older Orange County 

just to keep in touch ..happy viewing all 

Started to watch it ,Ollie you are right about Vicky her surgery is not well done .See the girl they went to Canada with ,when did she come into it ?I can't remember her .

Have I missed a series, the last reunion I watched is when Brook came on and Vicky's daughter had words with him .

There's 2 new hm's in this series, Lydia - the peacemaker - and the latest is Laura who's known Vicki for a long time. She's certainly spread some gossip about Vicki

I'm not caught up yet. .you know I like to save em up. . but the new one is not new, she was in the very first season up so season 3 and worked for Vivki when Vicki's office was actually in her house.. is she is the one you mean with all the gossip about Vivki's afairs etc.  Laury her name is. .  married a really rich guy and left the show shortly after that but  she'd know, she saw most that went on

is the trip to Canada this season? I've not seen it yet if that's the case..  I'm only halfway thru the 100th show episode

Frodo you were asking about Vanderpump Rules.. It starts this Tuesday after the HW of BH show on Lifetime

YR has it!!! Lydia.

So I am up to date then .Cheers.

Sorry if I spoiled  what's to come Ollie .

Cheers    Vicki on the slopes screaming like a banshee.

Lol, she's done that a few times, she gets really hyper and loses control

the trailer for the coming episode she threatens to stab her eyes out with a fork!!! I don't like Vick, I never have .
