She is savvy. Hate her as a person but respect her resolve. 

Dorit just collects personalities. She’s accumulated all the things that got the others a shred of attention the past seasons and copied them. The whole “glam squad” thing that was wholey Erica’s her first season and a huge part of her storyline is the most obvious.

I think it’s because I’ve never watched the show yet I know everything about them. They’ve become a huge cultural juggernaut and I’m an unwilling audience. 30 Rock has a great bit on this.

Just want to ask nicely, pretty please Joan, would you consider writing Real Housewives recaps??? I can’t bring myself to watch those Power Rankings videos.

So? Even guilty people are entitled to a defense. What did you want the kids to do? Move out (as minors) because their dad defended a man accused (remember, he’s still not been convicted of killing her, just civilly liable) of killing his wife?

Best article I have read.

I really appreciate your reason for loving Sutton.

It just came to me. They NEED Aunt Becky when she gets out of jail. Just make her a mid-season replacement and have them vote someone off the show so she can take their place.

Hating them does not make them go away. They’ve literally gone from comfortably well off at the start of the show to mind-boggling rich in 14 years based on hate. They are savvy businesswomen in that they made the best of a kinda crappy situation, the leaked sex tape, and turned a massive profit. People can hate their…

I feel more like he’s spiraling out of control and needs a little time off from the spotlight.
I’m trying to be kind, but as someone with mental health issues similar to his, it is alarming to see this behavior unchecked. 

It definitely needs a blow up and they need to start casting wealthy women who AREN’T actresses (besides Garcelle, who does exude realness). The show went to shit when they started hiring ex-soap stars like Rinna who think it’s their job to come up with fake conspiracy plots instead of showing their real lives.…

Mostly agree but the best lineup would be: Dorit, Garcelle, Sutton, Camille, Dana Wilkey, Brandi and Leann Rimes

I’m not a reality TV watcher, but I’ll confess that based on the few minutes I’ve seen of KUWTK here and there, I sort of get it. They’re pretty and glamorous but they are also extremely human, and the family vibe is real.

I’ve never understood the Intensely emotional reactions people have to the Kardashians. Like....people HATE them. The malevolent energy Is so palpable, but why? Because they’re shallow? Because they don’t deserve their wealth and fame? Because they are everywhere? So fucking what. There are tons of celebs like that,…

I like the theory that I’ve seen online where they stopped filming because their family is about to go through something they don’t want filmed.

I’m not sure that I would call them grifters? There’s no bait-and-switch here. It wasn’t tee’d up as one type of show but then turned out to be another. They weren’t presented as experts in anything.

you misspelled “kontinuity”

Bless my mother for making sure I never fell prey to that trend. She did it to herself, and didn’t want me falling into the same trap. I fought her SO hard as only a teenage girl can, and I have absolutely apologized and thanked her in the years since.
