Why do people watch these real housewives shows? I'm supposed to relate to these rich entitled women how?

I'm the child of immigrant parents who owned a restaurant. I'm not rich or have ever been rich. I got stuck working in their restaurant growing up. Did i get paid? No! It was just expected of me. I can't relate to some rich lady who never worked a day in their life and just married rich and popped out kids to secure the bag. I don't have any respect for people like that because they didnt work for what they got.

I never watched them. I think it's for the Young and the Shallow™️.

Yeah, I never understood that either. Same with shows like The Kardashians or whatever tf it's called. Just why? What is the appeal? Hilariously enough, those I have asked that couldn't give me an answer. What does that tell you?

@Ducky Reality stars are just another version of celebrity.
Ducky · 31-35, F
@SW-User Only many of them are famous for being famous.

@Ducky They have to be because unlike traditional celebs they don't really have all that much talent to display, hence the whole "leaked" footage phase of it in the beginning of the whole reality stars thing where sextapes were deliberately leaked to create buzz around the individual. Reality tv really began with shows like survivor, but the Kardashians style shows took off once leaking nudes became a thing.

Totally agree my friend.

I truly don't understand it either, my speculation is this is fantasy wish fulfillment. The people that watch these shows identify with the women on them, and like seeing representatives of those they know in real life.

I find such shows shallow and boring. No idea how they keep getting made...likely cheap and popular.

It's all about outrageous and stupid behavior and making money filming it. The worse the housewives behave, the more Hollywood likes it. It's like watching a train wreck...which is why I will never watch them.

@4meAndyou what's ridiculous is they are all middle aged acting this way

@4meAndyou To think reality TV began with shows like survivor, then the Kardashians style of reality TV ruined everything. I recall it was around the very early 2000s where celebrities were making waves for getting caught not wearing underwear. I guess Kim k new sex sells so she had her sextape leaked and has managed to make a fortune out of it.

@SW-User It appeals to the lowest animal in us. And Hollywood knows that is what sells.

I have never watched them.
They make those shows for entertainment, I don't think it's to learn from them.


Also in a way, it takes skill and work to find a guy to marry them and possibly take away his money 💰.

@NotSureAboutMyUserName not really just be thin and pretty and fake and put out
@blackdiamonds there is too much competition than you may realize.
It's easy to get used.


Note: I have never seen those shows, I'm just assuming.

That's destiny. Perhaps you should question your parents why they migrated, got married and to top it all why they gave birth to you?

The worst part is none of them are really rich and are in debt up to their necks . Google it tells the real story.

They watch it so they can do what you are doing right now amongst their friends or other people who watched it.

I'm not a reality TV fan, I get enough of that in real life.
less people watch that than you think
I don’t watch them, but I suppose there’s some entertainment value, like with other reality shows.
Beats me 🤷‍♀️ although I did used to watch Hollywood Women! 😱
