I’m a lit­tle in awe of the fact that Teresa Guidice from Real House­wives New Jer­sey filed for bank­ruptcy. Cit­ing some­thing close to $16,500 in money com­ing in & close to $16,500 going out.  Hey, I am not here to cast stones, given I am liv­ing with mas­sive stu­dent loans over my own head. And MY deci­sions aren’t being picked apart so I am NOT going to pick apart hers or her fam­i­lies.  I like her.  BUT  I am won­der­ing how the heck Bravo TV gets away with pay­ing about $3,333 a month to these women?

While the Real House­wives fran­chise might not be everyone’s cup of tea, although it is one the favorites of Ree Drum­mond, you know The Pio­neer Woman? And she has cows, cows are whole­some so she’s like warm apple pie & that means Real House­wives is totally whole­some (wait was that whole thing too much?).  Any­way, I am shocked at how lit­tle these ladies are mak­ing. They bring ad dol­lars & view­ers who know they shouldn’t be watching.

View­ers whose Hub­bies tell them how their brains are rot­ting by watch­ing it. View­ers who swear it’s soci­o­log­i­cal research to watch, you know pop cul­ture & sub­cul­tures all rolled into one. You know, view­ers like me.

I mean Teresa is the House­wife whose table flip was heard around the world! That should count for some­thing.  Oh & per­haps there could be some dis­cus­sion of liv­ing within your means & how this whole thing is indica­tive of the gimme cul­ture we live in, but that’s too real for me, I’d rather pre­tend it’s all man­sions & fast cash sit­ting here in my bun­ga­low, with four kids & work­ing to pay debt off every month whether I like it or not.
