An Anthology of The Real Housewives Most Cringe Worthy Moments

It’s difficult to picture what life was like before Andy Cohen, the Machiavellian creator behind one of the most popular franchises of reality TV, redefined the meaning of fame. No longer is there any mystery surrounding today’s celebs. The more dirty laundry and ridiculousness these “stars” air, the more famous they become. I admit it, I’m sucked in, I can’t stop watching the monstorous train wrecks they create week after week. These people are today’s version of Dynasty and Falcon Crest, except for, you know, most of them don’t really have any money. What they lack in the pocketbook however, they make up in shamelessness.

Lucky for us, the viewer, the stars of these series will go to any length to ensure their relevancy. I could be here for a month listing all of the cringe worthy moments in Housewife history. But in the interest of not giving you all aneurysms, here are some of my favorite, most shameless moments from The Real Housewives.

Watching Shahs of Sunset with Your Mom

Dance Moms Recap: Just End it Already

Join me after the jump! Continue reading

Project Runway All Stars Liveblog: Finally The Finale Edition

Do you remember those beautiful innocent sunshine-filled days? The days before Lifetime wrought upon us this travesty of an “All Stars” season of Project Runway? We were brimming with hope, with joy, with possibility; all of it now dashed against the mossy river stones of Reality River. What is that I hear? Is it the short, sharp breaths of the injured but still living?! There is still hope, then, as hard as it is to believe–and that hope is in Mondo’s talented fingers. Will we finally get justice for (vom) Wretchen’s win? We’ll find out tonight, won’t we? Continue reading

Project Runway All Stars Liveblog: The Homestretch

We’ve almost made it, my darlings. We’re almost there–this season is so very close to being over and done with. I have never dreaded a Project Runway finale (or rather, first half of a finale) so much as this one. I wonder why? I wonder what’s missing from this particular season that is usually the highlight of the finale? Hmmmm… Continue reading
