Real Housewives of O.C., How do I loathe thee?

Let me count the ways...Admittedly, I haven't watched this show much, but quotes like this really grind my gears...

"We have 4 houses, each of the kids has one...I'm sure everybody does it"

"I'm obsessed with cars, if I have 1, I want 3 more"

f'n :puke: :puke: :puke:

Rant over. :)

1. Everytime I see the promo for that show

I get violently angry.

Why is that shit on the air to begin with?

I did happen to see one of the "cast" in Lowes a few months back.

58. Hormones have subsided

but today I have been very tired. But I was out last night to the San Diego area, and it was a bit of a drive so I think that is the source of my fatigue today.

12. I watched it once.

I sat there the whole time thinking that people die by the thousands because they are hungry, or can't get the medicine they need, or don't have access to clean water and these ladies are "obsessed with cars" and they "like you to think they are stupid because it only makes them more lethal." :wtf:

27. OK, let's be clear here:

Most of those shows that feature rich assholes take place in SOUTH Orange County, not North, which is where I live.

So if you want to erect a border fence, start around the Laguna Beach / El Toro area.

22. having to see those promos is the worst thing about watching top chef

or project runway or the upcoming design show. It doesn't quite ruin top chef for me, but it does have me scrambling for the mute button every time I sense they're going to commercial

26. AGreed

I got hooked to top chef during the thanksgiving Marathon . . and those damn Housewive ads almost made me change the channel . .

Glad I didn't . . top chef is fun (Although I'm hoping they didn't do anything to stupid next episode due to the hype).. and the only show me and my Grandma both enjoy so something to discuss with her the next morning :).

46. That's because you have substance in your life,

being with the people you love, and who love you, going to school, etc. And you know, it's not just the "idle rich" who have empty lives; however, they are able to buy more toys to try to fill the emptiness in their lives.

61. I kid you not

today I was in a supermarket and I checked out the IN TOUCH magazine while waiting in line at the checkout - on the back cover was a full page ad for that show and I HATED THOSE WOMEN ON SIGHT. I'd never even heard of this show but I guessed what it was all about based on the show's name, the tagline "AMERICAN IDLE", and the total RICH-BEE-YATCH looks of these gals. :puke:
