Bing: More about "The Real Housewives of Orange County"
Tanous, a married mom on "The Real Housewives of Orange County," wrote that, after months of negotiation and "soul-searching," she declined the offer to come back to the show for the seventh season. "I just felt in my heart that being around the negative energy of certain cast members, being forced to have 'dramatic' confrontations and the time it would take me away from my family was just not a healthy path for me." No, really?
A friend of Alexis Bellino, Tanous joined for the sixth season. She's the latest cast member to leave the "Real Housewives" reality franchise. New Jersey cast member Jacqueline Laurita announced via a series of tweets recently that she might be leaving the show. But a Bravo spokesman told The Star-Ledger that Laurita had not been let go from the show. All five "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" cast members will be back for the fourth season, Bravo has said.
It's past time for all of the housewives show including the basketball wives because most of the people aren't even married...and they really display women in a negative light...and then we get addicted to the dumb reality tv because there isn't anything left to watch on tv...how about bring back the cosby show, friends, seinfeld....even girlfriends...but please...please...please get rid of the over top fake boobs, fake lips...fake jobs...fake assistants...fake everything..and then they always want to divorce someone...it's not promoting anything positive...although some of the children seeem to be more down to earth and wiser than the ridiculous "wives"
Frankly, the RH of OC are the most boring bunch of desperate, attention seeking posers in the entire Bravo lineup of reality figures. I used to watch the show becuase I thought these women were amusing to watch, but their desperation has worn thin and now they are nothing but pitiful creatures. Not one of them is actually born and raised in OC, or represent any successful housewife in this county. Also, if couldn't stay married on the show because you're too much of a self involved nympho--does that really qualify you to be called a housewife? Shouldn't the show be called the Real Divorcee Losers of OC? I know plenty of beautiful, legitimately successful REAL housewives who can run these posers out of town. Bravo--do your research...don't shop at the $dollar store and then tell us you've been to Cartier! These women are all fake, petty, hypocritical, shallow, greedy, and live for nonsensical drama. I live and was raised in the OC all my life---I went to University & raised a family here. My husband and I have worked very hard & have two successful companies. We are blessed to have a comfortable life, which we share with our entire family and friends. We volunteer at the Arts & museums centers, attend & donate generously to charity events, and host special events at our home to benefit charitable foundations. Here's what we don't do; obsess about plastic surgery but call ourselves holistic or worse not pay your rent because you needed to have that little tuck, hide behind religious values but dress like a dime store streetwalker, spend beyond our means while your house goes into short sale by the bank, have questionable and shady businesses where one can't really figure out what you do for a living and where the money comes from, should I go on....boring boring boring blah blah blah!
Bravo...the tsunami warning is here...the floundering ratings are going to take you out to sea--hope you have a life vest.
Yes, all of the shows are getting really bad, I have not been watching them much either. Orange County did start going down hill with Tamara she is a slore (slut/whore) who has brought the show down along with her butt buddy Vicki. New York still needs to get rid of Lu Ann and see how it goes, New Jersey is getting boring with Teresa and her brother. I am tired also with all the back stabbing and negativity, these women need to get lives or just quit all of these shows, that is
why ratings are going downhill. ![]()
Let me just say this....I have been watching these shows from the beginnning, and they are going down hill.
The New Jersy housewives are pathetic...Teresa has changed into this green eye monster...she is such a..........well you know what!
As for the comment about Jackie and her mothering skills, I think her daughter is a BRAT! I would have cut her off a long time ago....she is so self intitled.
She's leaving because there is too much negativity? That's the formula for the housewives franchises now. Orange County started getting negative when Tamra joined the show and then all the housewives series started becoming more and more about made up drama and not at all about "real" people. I'm glad Peggy has the sense to leave, I think all of the housewives should quit. They are just making fools of themselves.
