So, I’m feeling super sick today. I called out of work and chugged some NyQuil… only to wake up about 4 hours later. I started RHOC yesterday (I’ve watched bits and pieces here and there, but never the whole thing through). Here are my thoughts.
Jo:
This is one of those “grass is greener on the other side” situations. I can’t understand how/why she is bothered that her man wants to take care of her and doesn’t want her to choose partying over family. I understand she was 24… I believe…but TRUST me, if some man came along when I was 24 and just wanted me to be a housewife, my partying days would be over. Hell, I go out all the time BECAUSE I don’t have a man… I’d much rather be at home snuggled up watching a movie or playing video games.
In her defense, there were times when Slate would “pet” her like property and that rubbed me the wrong way. Him basically calling her an airhead was a problem… Him taking the license plate and chasing after her was also an issue. The biggest issue of all was that he dated Lauri right after they broke up.
Lauri:
This hit a nerve for me because I had experience with this in my own life, so I’ll just say this, I really wanted her to focus on her children and providing for the family, rather than finding a man. The fact that she had that guy, Steve, I think, around the house and her kids didn’t like it… and she didn’t care… AND he had a history with drugs… while her son was dealing with drug issues. Priorities.
Kimberly:
This will sound backwards, especially after what I said about Jo, but all I could think of was… she bought those big ass boobs and does all this to stay in shape for her husband… and he doesn’t appear to do any of that. It’s weird to me that men can look like anything and expect their woman to be perfect. Also, why wasn’t she at the little backyard reunion?
Jeana:
Girl, please reign in your children. They were a lot (and I remember them getting worse in future seasons.) I totally thought her son was gay too… or maybe asexual. He had a very robotic way of talking about things. The next season he had a more “macho” sound about him… maybe as a result of the commentary for this season.
Vicki:
I know too much about her from future seasons… Vicki is crazy, but she makes good TV. I love how passionate she is about her work and providing for her family. I was surprised to like her daughter, because of later seasons, and her son… wish I lived his life.
