Let me tell you...up until yesterday I mainly watched the Atlanta edition of the series -- however, that completely changed!! Now, I must state that watching the ATL housewives was a guilty pleasure at first mainly because I heard lots of media outlets saying how that cast misrepresented successful Black women (most of the cast member's husbands are atheletes). However, once I saw how many other people were taking part in this guilty pleasure, I decided to make my affinity for the show known as well...I mean, heck, you had Anderson Cooper of CNN talking about how is absolute FAVORITE character on the show was Nene!!! I felt that was the equivalent of getting the Pope's approval...but then again, I'm not Catholic so that probably doesn't count...ANYWHOO, I watched the show and became addicted but I never really thought about watching the other two editions because I just figured that they wouldn't give me the type of drama and mess that "reality tv show lover" within me craved...boy was I wrong!!!
From my perspective both groups (OC and ATL) are just the same. For instance, they both engage in obsessive and almost sickening amounts of spending money. Additionally, there's atleast one person in both groups that is so messy that it makes it almost impossible to not want to anticipate what that woman's next diabolical move is going to be.
I hear that the same holds true for the NYC cast as well! So, I foresee that I'll acquire another addiction. But, hey, a minor addiction to reality tv hasn't ever hurt anyone, right?? I mean, geez, at least it's not internet porn...lol!

Yay!!! So glad to see you haven't gone MIA. Although I fell in love with Housewives of ATL, I felt as if they were a horrible representation of women who are actually FROM Atlanta. My dad has been living there since I was ten, and to be honest, people who were raised in ATL aren't that bad. Yeah, the like the glitz and glam, but they are pretty much laid back and cool. But NeNe was my favorite. With one group of women i hang around, I feel like the NeNe of the group (minus the shit talking). If you noticed, her man was the only one with a job that didn't require physical activity.
I have to say that the Housewives of Orange County are my fav since I have been watching them since the first season. Unfortunately, for me the others seem generic. Lisa is coming across as a new mom but she has two sons from her previous marriage. The father has custody because he was able to prove her unfit. The only real one on the show is DeShawn. And for the Housewives of NewYork they look like they are trying to live the "good life."
