Real Housewives of Melbourne: Mar 30

The more I'm told about the friction between the Housewives, the more I'm led to believe it's all real not manufactured.

2014-03-27_1101The more I’m told about the friction between the Real Housewives, the more I’m led to believe it’s all real not manufactured. Which is usually not the case in this genre…

Maybe they should be filming S2 right now?

Lydia’s studying design at RMIT and shows the other students how it’s done.  Andrea’s alarmed at the slow building progress at the new Liberty Belle Skin Centre (given she’s planning a launch party), and Janet’s re-working her increasingly expensive renovations at Red Hill.  Andrea hosts a tennis day at her luxury beach house on the Mornington Peninsula. Everything starts off swimmingly but it’s game, set and match when one of the girls arrives late.  Jackie suggests a late night salsa lesson to diffuse the tension but will it prove healing? 

Sunday March 30 at 8.30pm on Arena.

  2. David, it was a very tongue in cheek comment of mine. The agro on the show is most defiantly set up. Why wouldn’t producers start this sort of story its free publicity. I ment no offence to you. 🙂

  3. I nearly spat my coffee all over the screen when i read Davids comments, “The more I’m told about the friction between the Real Housewives, the more I’m led to believe it’s all real not manufactured”.
    Im still struggling to believe that the guy who runs this site is being sucked in by all the publicity about this show. Come on David next you will be telling us that the logies arnt rigged. This show is a disgrace to television.

    1. My review of RHoM detailed my views on dramality constructs and at 2.5 stars was hardly “being sucked in by all the publicity.” Since the show has premiered there have been a number of articles published elsewhere (and not here) about the off-set friction between the cast. I think it’s a fair question to ask “Surely this is all just concocted for the brand, right?” Based on the conversations I have had, I’m being told: no, the friction is real. Hope that clears things up.

  4. @ Ronnie: because they are entertaining… isn’t that why we watch television?

    I’m also convinced that the tension is very real and not manufactured. It is interesting seeing the comments on twitter about this show… including from one particular ‘housewife’ herself.
