Real Housewives' Franchise Goes Dumpster Diving

OK, so the franchise was laughable when it kicked off in the OC.  Ridiculous, out of touch, and played for maximum conflict, the smart ones got out (Lori, Jeana).

Then the show rolled on to NYC (Kelly catfights in Prada), Atlanta (home of the biggest hot messes ever to grace a TV set), and New Jersey (adding insult to the injury already being caused to the state by the likes of Snooki and The Shituation - "h" added on purpose).

Now it has landed in DC - showcasing some more truly laughable caricatures and headed up by gate crashers / posers, the Salahis.

And with each city, the "housewives" suddenly have books to sell, websites to promote, jewelry and clothing lines galore - and now another one believes she is a singer.

First it was Tardy Party Pooper Kim Z from Atlanta, then The Countess warning us all through copious autotune that "money can't buy you class" (or a singing career, honey).  Now, Danielle Staub of Jersey - she of the sex tape, weave yank, crocodile tears, bad implants, and colorful past believes she is the second coming of Lady Gaga.

Lady Gag Gag is more accurate.

I don't know what is more laughable - the "back-up dancers" or her pathetic attempt to be musically relevant on a local morning talk show.

You decide.

One thing is certain, crap like this makes the OC gals seem almost normal.  Almost.

I love Andy, too, but he is far from just another "housewife". Andy is the Senior Vice President of Production and Programming at Bravo and the brainchild behind this garbage.

Danielle Staub has been awarded an endearing nickname in my house, and everyone who happens to be around when she is on the screen starts to smile in anticipation of what is to come.

You see, I love the Real Housewives franchise. Can't get enough. Bethenny? LOVE HER! Gretchen? Can't wait to see what she does next. Atlanta? Definitly a hot mess with bad Kim extensions everywhere. Even the new DC is shaping up to have its watercooler moments. I love that Cat is just as blunt as I tend to be! (Although I am not as rude about it.) The best of all being Andy Cohen, himself. That man is absolutely my favorite housewife!

But when the New Jersey girls come on? I start talking to my TV. Nay...I start an hour long running commentary that has actually attracted a crowd that will come to my house to watch me watch the show. Danielle's charming nickname? C*nt Nugget. I loath the woman. Can't stand any moment when she is dripping her foul presence into my living room. I think she is an embarassment to women and for that matter the human race as a whole. I keep wishing for an anvil to drop out of the sky on her head Wile Coyote style.

The show was tolerable when Dina was on, and now I only continue to watch it for Caroline and her children because they make me smile every scene they are in. If it weren't for that, I would have abandoned NJ long ago. It's nothing but a trainwreck of bad behavior and excess.

The worst part? So many people have complained about her being on the show, that Bravo's response was to take her off of it for the next season...and give her a spinoff ala Bethenny style. For shame Bravo.

I, for one, won't be watching. The quicker we all ignore the smear on the BVD's of humanity that Danielle is, the sooner she will fade from the spotlight.

Just my two cents.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

These women are an insult to REAL Housewives everywhere -- you know, the ones who clean their own houses, cook their own meals, take care of their own kids and see their husbands as more than an ATM.

Where do they find these nutters!

Tracy: Linda probably thought "why should I have to suffer alone"...

[Tracy in Cincy]

Linda, I know you love us, but some things aren't meant to be shared, and I think that was one of them.
What idiot put her on that show? The dancers look horrible...the one on the left is clueless, he keeps looking at the others for guidance.

[Amy in CT]

Never thought I'd say it...but she actually made Heidi Montag sound like a real singer! What a train wreck!

[Toni in Los Angeles]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHgasp

[LB from Ohio]

I think I feel the most sorry for her kids. I think that when the moms appear on some of these reality shows, it is like child abuse..

[ChickyPimp (Kathy)]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo My ears are BLEEEEEEEEEEEDING Owieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Sue, Sacramento]

Oh good grief....all I could think of while watching this train wreck was WHERE IS THE GONG when you need it. Why would any tv show put that hot mess on their show??? Didn't they "proof read" the performance before they approved it??? Truly awful.

[Jennifer]

Wow. That was painful.

[Dorothy R]

Another 30 seconds (that's all I could stand)of my life wasted. What slimey slezeball produced this crap and encouraged this delusional fool? Back-up dancers? Look more like hood rats she picked up in the projects. ( no offense to rats or the general population of the projects).

[jeanne from NY]

omg that was pitiful and pathetic....and really funny! i can't wait to hear how the cd sales are going...

[Cheryl in ATL]

THIS actually makes "Tardy for the Party" sound good!!??!! WHO let this poor misguided woman even THINK she could sing? Poor baby!! I feel so bad for her....LOL (Really, I do....but it was just so bad!!)

[Nesee]

Much like the talent escaped her. AND the dancers. OH MY GOD. They were just as scary and bad, as she was.

[Nesee]

Words have escaped me.

[Laurie]

Just lost my breakfast. Who was the other woman - not that it matters. Neither or worth remembering.... Can someone just make this Housewives crap stop, please???
