    This show is quite possibly the worst show on television. The women are fake, fugly, and they have a combined IQ of 20. This show and every other housewives show appeals to, and only to, idiots. If your looking for something good, don't watch this. Watching grass grow is way more exciting then this trash.

    As with any of these semi scripted reality shows I just don’t understand the appeal of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Why wouldn’t anyone want to watch a bunch of throughout unlikable people going about the lives trying to create as much false drama as possible!?

    One of TVs greatest mysteries is how this has lasted for eleven seasons!

    The obsession with appearances and materialism - from cars to houses to Botox to breast implants - makes "Housewives" a case study for everything that is shallow and pathetic about our society. Of course, that's also what makes it so entertaining. [20 Mar 2006]

    Highly watchable. ... The show, an obvious riff on "Desperate Housewives" and "Laguna Beach: The Real OC," is less glossily executed than those but also, for all this, trashier and more believably grotesque. [21 Mar 2006]

    If you're fascinated enough by their boorish behavior to return for more, you have a stronger stomach for tacky TV, and people, than I do. [21 Mar 2006]
