Forgettaboutit !!!!!!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey.Is anyone watching this???

OH MY GOSH !!!!!


I don't whether I love it or hate it....

This show is a Mish Mash of


Rich


(Mainly ) Italian


New Jersey


Women


Families


Each cast in such an unflattering stereotypical light.

They all comes off as Tough,Cat Fighting,Backstabbing,Overindulgent, Pampered,Shady, Gaudy, Euro Trendy, Over the top, Rough you up,



"I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse"



Gumba ish.... Caricatures





I realize it is all edited this way to make for good Reality T.V. viewing... but sometimes I can't help but cringe at some of the things said and done on this show...

On the one hand it trys to show the closeness of many Italian / American families... but why do they have to sound like Sonny Corleone when they do it?
Not to mention....some of the sexual innuendos are a bit much even for me...I am no prude by any means and I get that it is done for the shock value but still ... Ewwww

On the other hand ... Just like you shouldn't laugh when someone falls down... or.... laugh in church when someone farts... Come On.. You just can't help it...

Some of the stuff that goes on ... is too freakin funny....

There is something to be said for a show that on occasion makes me groan out loud.. either because it is so stupid, gross, or ridiculous.



When personalities are SO over the top that you think.. She CAN'T Be for real.. until realize ..you know someone just like her...only with a little less money...and Botox


The Outlandishly Rich... Money is no option Stage Mom.. who thinks her kids are the next best thing since the virgin birth..



The Spoiled Diva who casts judgement on who is IN... and who is OUT... making herself feel better by giving the ICE treatment to those she feels are Beneath her.



The Newly rich.... Passive... aggressive.. always in the middle of every ones drama but just can't say No.. because she wants to be" liked" Gal..


Or

The First born, You will do it MY WAY... I don't care if you like or not ...I am always right... Street smart... Enforcer...

(And NO !!!! I do not see my self in this last character ONE BIT !!! Thank You very much !!!!)


I don't know...Just like one can't help but stand by the road and watch a train wreck... I can't help but sit and watch this show..

It really MUST have an effect on me.... I even blogged about it.... SCAAAAARRY !!!!

I not only watch Housewives of New Jersey (it's set to record on my dvr), but I also watched the original Housewives of Orange Co., HW of NY, HW of Atlanta. It is like watching a train wreck, you just can't take your eyes off of it.
