The Real Housewives of Sydney

This show is just a terrible show. Not only is it, at a simple level, an unbearable watch, but on a deeper level, it represents everything wrong with modern tv. It glorifies the worst aspects of human behavior-pettiness, materialism, and manufactured drama-while presenting a toxic, unrealistic standard of womanhood.

Women tearing each other down for the sake of ratings, superficial beauty as the ultimate achievement, and an obsession with wealth and status over anything meaningful-this show is a masterclass in setting terrible examples. There is nothing empowering, uplifting, or remotely aspirational about watching grown adults act like kids in a high-school feud. It's a constant cycle of fake friendships, over-the-top arguments, and desperate attempts to stay relevant.

Beyond being a disaster of a TV show, this show lowers the bar for entertainment as a whole. It numbs girls especially into thinking this is normal, that backstabbing and plastic perfection define success. It's a show built entirely on vanity, offering absolutely nothing of substance. If this is what passes for reality TV, we might be better off without it entirely or drinking bleach.

Get rid of all the women on the second season. They're crap. They don't make good television and they aren't interesting - no matter how many tiny molehills are made into enormous mountains that are then jammed down our throats.

Bring back Lisa Oldfield, that crazy Athena X chick, Victoria old lady drama maker, and the one whose face is frozen: Marty? Marty? Mandy?

Seasons two sucks, and sorry Joel Creasey - but your comedic excellence can't save this via a reunion. Also. It might be time to lose the bleach-blonde. You're 50 and it ain't doing you any favours on screen with that dead body complexion my man.

Can we just Chuck Janet Roach, Gambil, Lisa Oldfield, Maddy????, Athena X, Victoria, Chyka and Caroline (from this season) into a girls trip and be done with it?

And for gods sake - don't ever bring back Alex Perry and his Sunglass laden forehead for any more of this. There's enough trash on screen.

I would have to say the first episode was hilarious, but after that, each episode seemed to echo the others....screaming matches, cursing...Really? Goodness, I would feel extremely embarrassed if I was one of these....Ladies?....no.... I think the term is 'Wannabes'. I know it's a show, and there is a certain amount of ad-lib script in there and contract commitment clauses, but I can see why there was a certain amount of reluctance from some of the hubby's to show their faces. BUT, if you want to take it seriously then you will despise it, But if you want to have a cackle, have the ability to fast forward, when the need arises, enjoy the laughter of Maddy and her comic relief lips, roll your eyes back during X's psychotic rants, and endure the insecurities of Lisa's wild imagination and sexual suppression, Victoria's 'for God Sake' rants and Nicole's' contradictions, then I would have to say, enjoy it. Go Krissy...and Maddy, you both seem to be the only ones, who have endured a certain amount of normality and good humour, under the circumstance, said any truths and have been true to who you are.

Say what you want about how trashy, selfish and cruel the women are but no season of real housewives has ever delivered as much drama in a season than sydney. The ensemble of women also rounded out each other quite nicely making for some very dramatic but also heartfelt beats when needed.

The season also offered possibly the most intriguing real housewife television when they weren't fighting or gossiping, such as victoria reuniting with her estranged sister, nicole trying to boast her generousity at charity events and the dog wedding.

And the drama where do I even start? The season kicks off with victoria throwing athena's cape overboard and all bets are off from there; you have to see it to believe it

Drama every episode with trashy women trying to out trash each other, what more could a person want watching reality tv?

How on earth can these be the best specimens Sydney has to offer? Why do the few husbands they've managed to keep, even the long distance ones, all have heads like smashed crabs & about as charismatic as a damp tea towel. I've seen better cat fights in the quadrangle during recess & that's just the nuns.. Next
