I consider myself an intelligent woman. I’m an educator and a child of God. I stay abreast of current events and watch documentaries. I am also a HUGE fan of Bravo’s The Real Housewives franchise. Now, before you judge me for watching this actual garbage, let me explain why “I liveee” for the nonsense the housewives bring.
Need for Drama
First things first … this is strictly entertainment. I know that reality shows do not equal reality. The same way that you don’t have the same lifestyle that those people on Game of Thrones do, I have no desire to throw wine in your face and call your husband broke (I’m looking at you Potomac!). Remember when you were younger and your grandma would tell you to be quiet because her stories were on? We all knew who Victor was and that he wasn’t leaving. We also knew how ridiculous and outlandish the story lines were. Enter … the Real Housewives Franchise. I’m uninterested in watching Victor survive another brush with death. I’d rather watch women fight over having roaches in their house in cocktail attire.Perfect Mindless Entertainment
Pop Culture
Where would we be in pop culture without the housewives? Would we be able to whoop it up with our throwing wine like the real OG of the OC Vicki? When a table is flipped, who do you think of (because this happens often in real life)? Teresa Guidice yelling obscenities, of course! The countless memes, phrases, and parodies are truly a gift. A Nene Leakes “I said what I said” gif is the perfect punctuation for a conversation with your husband via text. It’s the pop culture phenomenon we didn’t know we needed.
