The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

Hmm, maybe we need a TV/reality discussion thread? Just a thought.

That's why I started watching this show because I usually could care less about these reality shows. I love alot of their movies they did when they were young. Kyle was 'Lindsay' in the original classic 'Halloween'. They both got to work with the legendary Bette Davis, too.

As for Kim, I feel bad for her, she has been thru alot as an adult. She was on the phone with her bf/husband in 1991 when he was gunned down in cold blood talking to her on a pay phone, sorry but that has to effect a person.

I don't feel for Camille at all. She started crap left & right and to fire Kyle's husband was a low blow!

I hope there will be a second season but I hear Kim won't be on it & I don't blame her.

The entire original cast is returning--a mistake for Kim, I think. As well-meaning as she was, by the end of the season she came off as a sad drunk, to state it bluntly. I don't think she can present in a way beneficial to herself personally or professionally. Much of that is her sister's doing and I'm always surprised at how many people claim to adore both Kim and Kyle--both came off well in the beginning but quickly destroyed each other, in my view.

I think Camille was misunderstood. Yes, she's completely out of touch and lacking self awareness, but in the end I felt sorry for her, especially the way Kelsey Grammer made her suck it up and keep up appearances for the Tony Awards. Yes, she walked away with a huge chunk of his fortune, but for the rest of her life, she will carry the permanent scar of being rejected in the most horrifying, public manner. And in the Camille vs. Kyle battle, I am on Camille's side. Kyle is a busybody yenta who is always right and never owns up to her lapses in judgment. She needs to be knocked down a peg or three.

I thought Camille was the one who said she wasn't coming back. Kim needs to be on RHW to help nurture her comeback.

Ed, you're killing me here!

You counted Lisa an "independent working woman," but not Adrienne? Don't get me wrong--Lisa might be my favorite housewife of all time, but arranging flowers at her husband's restaurants, bought with family money, does not an independent businesswoman make! Adrienne wasn't exactly self-made either (nor did either of them claim to be), but did seem to work very hard.
Actually, I think Adrienne may have been the savviest housewife ever, with the possible exception of Bethenny. She was there to brand herself and earn publicity for the family, and handled herself with aplomb. I don't think any directors saw Kim Richards and thought, "AHA! She seems stable enough to be my next star!" Adrienne, though, may be the first housewife to make it through a season without saying anything offensive or threatening. Too reasonable to be a favorite of mine, but no denying she played the game well.

Not often does one come across a Camille supporter. I'm...intrigued? Let's go with intrigued.
She lost me in episode 1 when she admitted to having four nannies for her 2 children, both of whom are school aged. Watching a soft-core porn star get high and mighty about Faye Resnick's Playboy spread was breathtakingly hypocritical, but it's her shoddy parenting that made her a serious contender for the most reviled reality star of all time.
