The Real Housewives Of Orange County

I've tried to find the Real Housewives of Orange County as interestingly weird and entertaining as I found the Housewives from New York City and, particularly, the Atlanta Housewives. The OC Housewives were the first in this Bravo TV franchise. They are on Season 4. The other Housewives have had only one season.

Maybe the Housewives learn to tone it down after they see themselves on TV. There just are no breakout nutjobs on the OC, not like Alex the socialite wannabe in New York City. Or Kim, the deluded country music singer/kept woman or her friend, Sheree, the wannabe deluded fashion designer.

The only one of the Orange County Housewives who seems to come close to nutjob territory is the one named Vicki. Vicki is an interesting looking woman. Sometimes these women are filmed in a golden California glow. Vicki glows good. But, get her in restaurant lighting and you see major skin damage.

I've only watched a few hours of the OC Housewives. I've not heard any of the OC Housewives going on and on about how beautiful they are, something that both the NYC and Atlanta Housewives did, ad nauseum. Ironically, several of the OC Housewives are quite good looking, albeit in a plastic sort of way.

One of them, Jeana, is a former Playboy Playmate of the Month. She looks the most well-aged of the Housewives. A new Housewife, Gretchen, isn't actually a Housewife. She is quite young and lives with her much much older boyfriend. Who is dying from Leukemia.

The New York City and Atlanta Housewives had no tragic story-line like leukemia. Well, there was Kim's cancer in Atlanta.

Maybe I don't find these Orange County gals so interesting because they are West Coasters. I'm a former West Coaster. Maybe that's why they don't seem as alien to me as those creatures in New York City and Atlanta.

I'll try and watch the OC Housewive again. Maybe that Vicki will provide some good nutjob entertainment.
