The Real Housewives of Orange County -Season 4 premiered this week. I was too busy on Wednesday night to catch the first broadcast - it's Bravo, after all and they re-run every episode of every show round the clock for a week so I'm not too worried. I'll catch it sooner or later.
Yes, you had your RWO Atlanta - which didn't interest me enough to watch any part of any episode - and your RHWO NewYork City - which was so good I still rerun parts of it in my head before I go to sleep. But this one is the first and the best. As they say on the blogs, one cannot look away.
Now I won't go on about the main players or what I think of them (at least not for now) but I do have some pieces of information to impart:
1. The newest housewife is a 30 year-old cookie-cutter blonde with a 53 year old boyfriend. He's been married 5 times and he has leukemia. Teaser video clips on the bravo website show them shopping for a 4.5 carat diamond ring. Apparently, their relationship is going to be a main focus of this season, but guess what? He's already dead.
2. The RH's had a make-under, courtesy of that new millenium busybody, Oprah. The point - now get this: the point was to make them look like RHWO New York City. Or, as the O website puts it: "transformed from their homogeneous perfection to a metropolitan, slightly eccentric, chic." Wouldn't you like to see that?
3. I was looking around to see if anyone had already blogged the high points of this season opener and I came across this intriguing if somewhat jumbled recap:
"This season, Tabanan Here, VICKO Gunvalson, Jean Keough and Laura Peterson joined 30 years, Gretchen Rossi. Although it seems that the terrifying power with its shiny appearance, and other women to maintain balanced position and balance daily.
Second, more should be solved problems and housewives in order to continue juggling the way to success. How they came to consensus on its last, a woman must feel great to overcome slow to defend its reputation. Wiki is faced with difficulties in family Don, because it is focused on the creation of insurance empire.
Who lives in a housemother, Tabanan, was still trying to connect him - from his father, strangers he requested 21 years old son Ryan. In the meantime, Jean cope with the emotional separation from her husband, Matt, a picture of what to do next.
Laura, on the other hand, he tries to live blissful, magical life. However, problems with their son, Jos, could prevent him from dreams."
As fascinating an introduction to the OC ladies as this is, this might not be the most reliable reviewer on the Internets. The author has a piece up on Rham Emanuel that states in part
"We all know about the humble and great man named as Rahm Emanuel. He is the man who congrates the Barak Obama at the hstorical victory of him in the election against McCain's Republican party. And ya he is the in the Democratic Party."
Although ya indeed he is in the Democratic Party, even his own mother would never refer to him as humble.
You missed nothing by skipping the Atlanta version, unless you were in search of an example of just how far the bounds of trashiness can be stretched. They made the Bundys of Married With Children look genteel.
Being the train wreck of dreck that it was, of course I watched each and every episode.
I can always blame the medication later.

I think we can assume that reviewer was not writing in his native language (Martian).
