So I’m a long time Bravo fan and have watched BH, NJ, OC and NY. I also love VPR. I’ve noticed the wild versions of opinions on key housewives (Kyle, Teresa, Luann) and it got me thinking are we all watching the same shows?!?

I found this interesting so have been consciously watching discussions on it for the past few months on this sub and I think the key difference is that some people have watched these shows weekly for 10 years , whilst some of us have binged 10 years of TV in 3 months. If I take Teresa for example, I binged NJ in 3 months and find her to be a despicable human being so have no idea how she has so many stans but I realized, these stans have been watching her for 10 years, through the good and the bad. Her good times were longer for those who had to experience weekly episodes and in between seasons compared to those who binged and her good times were more like 2 weeks. Same thing with Luann. I binged NY and also find her such a delusional, classist, hypocrite but her stans are also those loyal viewers of 10 years.

Anyway, keen to hear your thoughts about this, particularly if you have any kind of psych background. I do think it’s possible that how we have consumed the series has an outcome on what we think of the housewives!
