Abundance of personality and style=high maintenance and bitchy.

I guess what fun would it be if they were just your average hausfrau??

@Richard: Goddess Kali...love it! Now if only Kali could be coaxed into coming down and kicking some NYC real housewife ass, all would be harmonious in the universe.

Oh yes. A poor middle-aged underemployed big gay bear would be PERFECT for that show. Sign me up!

Jesus. This again? Does "a social calendar to die for?" really involve an exclusive event at Hawaiian Tropic Zone (Yeah, I watch it! So what?!)? Didn't I read somewhere they had actually nailed their target and created "the Real Housewives of New Jersey?"

@digitalsmoothie: Luann's husband always makes me think of Count Chocula.

I hope they visit the House of Luann's ancestral manor house next season, I really hope they do.

Also: more bitchy closeted gay husbands.

Just my luck, I am the goddess Shiva, and now I've totally missed my shot at Bravo stardom.

Have they made "The Real Twentysomething Underpaid Media Minions with Drinking and Dating Problems" yet? No? Ok, let me know when they are casting for that.

Doesn't the word "housewife" by definition mean a married lady who doesn't have a job? If not, can all married working men now be called "househusbands"?

@vulturesquadron: Sarcasm was intended. At least there'd be a European flavor to Luxembourg and the scenery would be a change. I'm pretty sure The Reeeech are vapid and annoying worldwide.

I liked the NY women, except for the two blondes on the end. They should have their own show "Real Headcases of NY: While one climbs the ladder, the other is climbing in the walls".

@PaisleyPajamas: C'mon, Luxembourg is way more boring than even this snorefest. "Oh your husband's a banker? Mine too! Oh, you live in that crevice where all the nice houses are? Me, too! Oh, you like chocolate?" Etc.

I am married, so they can follow me around and get lots of great footage of me demanding to be allowed into the stacks at the NYPL, throwin' 'bows on the train, and getting into various shenanigans with my group of entirely single friends.

Instead of being a "high rolling social butterfly," I'm usually just high, rolling joints. So how much do I get paid?

It's impossible to distinguish the west coast and east coast when you're talking about the entitled, nouveau riche upper crusties.

Bravo needs to get with the real deal and bring on the Real Hausfraus of Luxembourg (or anywhere else outside of *yawn* the U.S.) and kibosh with the rehash of these moronic whiners. They just aren't interesting.

Shiva is a Hindu god, not a goddess. He is one part of the sacred trinity of the most powerful Hindu gods and represents the primal forces of destruction.
Interesting how that very last factoid is so very apropo to my thoughts about this show.

When "The Real Single Thirtysomethings of Northern Brooklyn" starts recruiting I'll audition for that. I'm on lists all right--the Health Department's STD call list, The bitch list in the bathroom at the Levee, and worst of all, Craigslist.

"a high rolling social butterfly juggling the ups and downs of family life along with a high-powered career and a social calendar to die for" and the first season netted Alex McCord?!
