Yeah, I am ready to give my third amount Rushmore Housewife, and I'm going to go through the process because I was going to put it out to a vote with you to choose between these two housewives. But I've made my own decision and I'm going to explain to you why, and you're going to get annoyed. Many people were annoyed by by Teresa. I'm annoyed by Nani because of actions.
I'm condoning actions. I'm not condoning any anyone's actions. Like I never watched the Real Housewives of Orange County religiously, but I've seen enough. I've seen a lot. I've seen the essence of this person. It's not always an o G by any means, but it's seeming to be many o g s because the o G s had this essence to them where they weren't acting and they were sloppy and a little flawed and just more concerned about being authentic than popular. And I gave it to Nini
for that reason. I gave it to Teresa for that reason. Not every action that they've ever exhibited, you know, is something that I admire. But I'm also not one to judge anyone. Um and they are they have been key players in housewives. They can carry scenes, they can carry trips, they create drama, they are teflon, they can withstand extreme temperatures like that. It's a certain type. And my really,
my third Mount Rushmore housewife is Vicky Gombolson. I was it was between she and Tama because I think Tamara is an excellent housewife. I think she's brought it. I think she's fun. I think she is the straw that stirs the drink in addition to Sonja. I think she's cute and wacky and it will get drunk. And also you know, doesn't mind looking bad or getting into trouble
and has a temper and all those things. And I know from behind the scenes that Tamarra is more of a pleasure to work with from the crew from what I've heard, which is enough people and maybe like just you know better, easier to work with. And also um people do have a problem with the fake cancer of it all that went on with Vicky, and I don't
know about that. I didn't watch enough of it, but not unlike Kelly Dodd, You're watching it like I can't believe this woman is doing this on television like you can't believe it. But that means that they're just being so free that they're doing something and they're not thinking about popularity. Other housewives smell like roses the whole way through, but they're more calculated, and there's a positive to that too.
I mean, Lisa vander Pump was calculated in the sense that like she always kind of maintained a level of dignity. Kyle has also been very strategic and not getting too close to the fire. Sometimes she does, she never really gets fully close to fire. Someone like Kelly Dodd will throw herself on a fire, and Vicky's the same. And so while you may not agree with many of Vicky's actions, I don't know them all. She was bat ship in the best possible way. She just came to play from
the beginning. She isn't o g. She understood the assignment immediately. She I know she talked experienced a death of a family on camera. I think it might have been her mother, even it was somebody very close to her. I know she went through her her her screaming matches with her husband and her love tank full and her daughter and her son, and she showed her crazy early, like I think everybody should do on a first date, show you crazy early. She had a fit about the van not
being the right size of her. She was a total Karen screaming about it, asking for supervisors before there even were Karen's. But like she wasn't the calculated house by trying to just look good. And there's an essence there that people don't have now because everybody understands how the sausage gets made, they understand the game. I can't do that,
I'll look bad or be canceled. I can't do And Vicky was just true to form and she would go out and party and have fun and be wacky and later age inappropriate and probably the things that she said and did and sometimes hypocritical and sometimes Ramona alike and you know, emotional and highs and lows. And she left it all on the court. So I'm giving my third Mount rushmore for better or for worse. Don't hate to
Vicky Gonbilson. The tamera was a very close second, and many of you may may may disagree, but I think Vicky Gumbelston is an original, and she left it all out there. She gave it a good run. She was an iconic housewife. That's my third m hm, the Resu Kyle dispute. So here's the thing. Resu was on Watch What Happens Live, the clickbait den, the items for media publications waiting to happen zone. So what you realize when
you've been on Watch What Happens Live many times? Is it every step you take, every word you utter, every sip you drink, every call that comes in by every producer, vetted caller, every game played, and every question throne is designed to end up in magazines the next day and get picked up and get picked up and get pick up, so that show becomes pick up quote Central. So when you go on Watch What Happens Live, you are invariably going to be asked a question that is going to
live forever. It is like Irene Kara and Fame. It is a question and answer that wants to live forever. So Andy Cohen asking Resa who he thinks the most overrated housewife is is designed to do exactly what it has done. At the very most, create a dispute, at the least just be a snarky clickbait comment, and at the highest form of this art form, do what it did which is Reza would answer the question in his opinion saying that he thinks that Kyle's the most overrated housewife.
She would take the bait fight back with him. He would clap back again, and then every single blog and page six and it's a circle jerk of everyone talking about this moment, all designed to make Watch what Happens Live more successful. It's like a divorce, and it's not the two parties arguing who win, it's the lawyers that win. So Watch What Happens Live is the lawyers. So Reza has asked a seemingly innocuous question, who do you think is an overrated housewife? He says Kyle. Kyle says, didn't
his show get canceled? Didn't his other show get canceled? And I don't even need to respond, you know, meaning like it's not not even worth responding to because he got canceled, his show got canceled or taken off the air or whatever. He says. This is all paraphrasing. He's responds to say, Oh, well, really, my shows did get taken off the air. But I still speak to my castmate to all love me, and I'm still speaking to my siblings how are Kim and Cathy? So now they're
in a fight between the two of them. They're probably mad between the two of them. They're back and forth doing this publicly on social media. You know who's clean, Andy Cohen? And watched What Happens Live. It's the most perfect design of all time. These two are in a fight. They didn't even start it. So they both took the bag. And the problem is you gotta enter to play. You go and watch What Happens Live. What is he going to say? I will not answer that question. It's not Watergate.
He's answering a question. He just came up with what he thought. So it's a trap. But he wants the press of being on that show because it's a really great show to be on if you want to be in in in the headlines. And maybe that's good for his business. But I cannot blame res. I cannot blame Kyle. I can't you know. This is the nature of the beast. Don't hate the player, hate the game, but the one controlling the game is Andy Cohen. And watch What Happens Live.
The house wins. The house always wins that watch What Happens Live. They are just two people at the casino tables that lost their money in a hand. They both played, they doubled, they split, they had aces, they had eights, they doubled down, and both of them are piste off in a stupid public Rabba fight. I've been there. Kyle has been asked why did you unfollow Bethany? She gives her answer every headline last week? Why do you not follow?
Like you know? You gotta know how to play this game. Um, and you gotta understand and or is advertised, no problem, this is the price you pay. In hearing about gen Shaw getting arrested, I don't know anything about it. People have asked me to comment. I don't know anything about it. I know she got six and a half years, which does not sound like a small affair. And it's the same. But it's back to the Season one Teresa paying in
cash for all the furniture. It's back to Erica Jane fifty dollars a month for her glam and sharing that information. It's back to this Gen Shaw. I guess she was wearing like thigh high Gucci boots and decked own. People cannot help themselves but show how much they have and then the pendulum swings and then here we go. Then you're arrested for stealing. I mean in many cases. In Teresa's case it was tax evasion, which is you know, stealing.
In this case it's uh gen Shaw, it's in Erica's husband, not Erica his case, it's sealing money from innocent victims. I mean it. There seems to be a pattern with people who are all showing no go. Seems to be a pattern with people who really want other people to think they're wealthy and then them getting into legal trouble. It seems to date. It seems to you know, this Salah, he's breaking into the White House. They wanted to pretend they were invited, pretend they belong. Like, there's so many
instances of people, you know, getting in legal trouble. People owe money to the I r s, people are going bankrupt. It's fronting and stunting, all showing no go. I think it was it was it was Jill, you know, and Bobby with a yellow rented at least Ferrari first during that Tennis episode. People can't help but show up. They must show it all, and those are usually the people work comes crashing down. It is very interesting and the
Housewives is the center of this universe. And it's fascinating because since day one, there have been hundred and forty five housewives. It's not that many if you think about this has been fifteen Yeah, like fifteen, you know, sixteen years, um, so a hundred so a hundred of so that's interesting. It's been sixteen years. Ten housewives a year, a hundred forty five housewives. The show has been around since two
thousand six and two. Who will have been incarcerated. That would be Teresa and gen Shaw and Teresa's husband, but there are a lot of husbands and fiance's who will have been incarcerated. I don't think we can count that high um number of housewives having a d u y, you know, Sonja, Marisol, Karen, Brandy, Glanville, Gina. You know,
a DUI is a serious matter. Number of out of one um number of housewives have been arrested eleven out of one, you know, Luanne for assault, Tinsley for trespassing, Kelly ben Simone for assault, Ninie for thefth Porshall Williams for assault, Daniel Stab for extortion and cocaine Possessian Jacqueline Lorita for assault, Kim Richards for shoplifting and another time for public intoxication, trespassing, resisting an officer, and battery, Leah
McSweeney for assault. I am, that's a stunning list. And you know what you can't judge. I guess the thing is people. It's the land of judging. Houseways is the land of showing what somebody else has done wrong and gotcha, which is so ironic when you know almost ten percent of the population has been arrested. Um, so it ironically
should be the most judgment free zone. So we did an episode with Danielle where her book comes out about prostitution allegedly and uh name change and arrested, and it seems hymper critical and sanctimonious for anyone to judge, or anyone to judge Alex McCord for nudity or anything at this point, like no one should be judging anyone when Wow, and so many women have been arrested, incarcerated or uh
gotten a d U. I really interesting. And it's as the number of housewives you've been involved in corruption lawsuits, Theresa jan Shaw. It's a crazy, staggering, staggering bit of information and everybody deserves a second chance. You know, Theresa may not have known what's going on. Erica may not have known what's going on with her husband. Theresa's happily married. I really like Theresa, I really like Ninie. I've really enjoyed Nani. Everybody has a past, everybody deserves a second chance.
Most people probably shouldn't be judged. That's maybe a good way to enter into because, um, the housewife should absolutely be a judgment free zone based on it being a group of women in glass houses.
