'Real Housewives': Real Hot
They don't call it "Hot"-lanta for nothin'.
Bravo's "Real Housewives of Altanta" wrapped up its second season last week with eye-popping triple-digit Nielsen ratings increases over its first cycle. What's more, "RHOA" soared past New York, New Jersey and Orange County to rank as the highest-rated installment in the franchise's history.
Some specifics:
--Thursday's season finale averaged just under 3 million viewers, 2.047 of them adults 18-49. That's up 35 percent and 22 percent, respectively, over last year's first season finale. The finale was the No. 1 show in the 10 p.m. time period among adults 18-49 and women 18-49, beating high-profile competition such as Lifetime's "Project Runway."
--Overall, season two of "RHOA" finished with an average audience of 2.84 million, of which 1.99 million were between 18 and 49. Season-to-season increase: 116 percent and 101 percent, respectively.
--"RHOA" ended its season ahead of Lifetime's "Project Runway" in adults 18-49. "Runway" still leads in total viewers and also has several more weeks of original broadcasts.

Real housewives are BORING! You may think you have interesting lives but you don't! Nene entertains me. All the women on the "Real Housewives" series are egocentric and often narcissistic (Kim!!) but that's why they're on t.v. Soccer moms are BORING. And apparently you "real housewives" are clueless about television and entertainment. Go tell it to the PTA!
SCARED SILLY Says
NeNe IS THE BEST ONE OF THEM ALL. Kim is nothing but a prostitue and looks the part. Sheree is a joke, Lisa has no clue. Kandi is ok, hope all goes well for her and her new career. AJ RIP-you seemed like a greaat guy. Too bad Kandi went with her mother's wished instead of her own. Her mom is probably happy about AJ. So sad.
JOY Says
To all of the haters, fly above if you didn't like the show you should not have watched it, but NO!! you had too or else you would not have known this much information about all of the characters. Gottcha!!!!! I loved all of the episodes and are looking forward to much more. If we were all the same it would be boring. Each has their own personality and I personally loved it and I really think you all did too. Hope there is another season coming can't wait to all you haters like Kandi said fly above.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta are NOTHING like the women on the show. As a 15 year resident of Atlanta, I must say that it's embarrassing to think that non-Atlantans who watch this show think that's what we are like. I've never encountered an Atlanta housewife who behaves like these women and don't want to. They are all fake and think they are really all that. What a bunch of phonies! I'm sure alot of people realize that the women on the show were deliberately chosen because of their bizarre behavior, but obviously quirkiness sells. Who wants to watch a group of normal women driving their kids to karate or dance class and baseball games? No one I know. The "real" housewives of Atlanta are sweet spiritual women who care about their kids, families and friends more than they care about themselves. They are not egomaniacs who spend all day pampering themselves and shopping. The ones I know are mostly givers, not self-absorbed publicity hounds.

In the beginning I liked NENE and Lisa, now I think NENE is a trouble maker and a wanna be. I don't believe the house she is filmed in is her own. I believed the house is staged. She is trash ( you can take a stripper out of the strip joint but trash will always be trash.)She has proved my point. Lisa is a sad person too. She made a big deal out of downsizing, then she went on an on about all the changes she had to make in the home her husband owed. Where's her money? Don't she have a clothing and jewerly business! (She hasn't learned her lesson )She is still living beyond her means. Sherri-- What a f-ing freak! she has no class. Shes a wanna be too. Im now thinking Kim is the sane one, she's tired of the DRAMA. I don't agree with her dating big Papa, I understand they have already broken up. KIm will move on. I pray Candi makes it through all the pain she is enduring, I'm sure she has a strong family unit and will pull through.Candi will have a great career.
Edna Says
I agree 100% with Janie,Mike and Erin. Why this producers take real people with real life issues. Like thousands of single moms around those same areas that have to work 2 or 3 jobs to put food at their tables and keep their children under a safe roof. And the sametime trying to keep up with bills and others necesities.PLEASE PRODUCERS THIS MOMS NEED A LITTLE HELP. GOD BLEES THEM. Now that's what I call REALITY SHOW.

I think the excessive spending on all the REAL HOUSEWIVES shows is pretty disgusting considering the state of the economy.....I would love to see all of the real housewives volunteer at a homeless shelter since they are all so big on their charities..I live in Georgia and just watched a family of four being put out on the street

Pam Says
You all leave nene alone i think she is great she says it how she see's it. Kim is a stupid idiot. She is so full of herself and goes around causing problems with all the girls. Lisa is ok she has a lot of goals and is business minded. Sheree is just as bad as kim but she tries to act like she is classy and i think she makes a fool out of herself.
KATHY S Says
The show is very entertaing but anyone that beleives what they see is how it is, is misguided. I do believe alot of the true personalitys of the women does come shinning thru. I to would like to hear the other side of the stories of the housewives ex's. That would make a good show! Keep making us middle class people feel normal.
anna Says
I AM A GRANDMA 70 .. I THINK THAT NENE IS A LOUD MOUTH, GETTO TYPE PERSON.. HAS ANYONE EVER INVESTIGATED HER PAST?? THE ONE WITH THE WIG IS CLASSLESS ALSO.., WHO WAS HER LAST HUSBAND ANYWAY.. AND SOMEONE SHOULD KNOW WHO HER MARRIED OLD LOVER IS?? THOSE FAKE ROUND HARD BOOBS.. I WILL NEVER KNOW WHY MEN LIKE FAKE BOOBS.. WOULD GIRLS LIKE A FAKE MANS PART.. noo.. SAP.
Erin Says
NENE IS SERIOUS CLASSLESS TRASH. None of those women can even spell the word class. Khandi is the only one I can tolerate. I would think not one of them have any real friends. I wouldn't trust ANY OF THEM (except for Khandi)any fruther than I could spit.
mike Says
You people should get lives of your own. This is the problem with society today with garbage television like this. Dont you people have better things to do than live vicariously through a bunch of cheating sluts who contribute nothing to your life? Get a life people!
ANN MARIE Says
I coulden't have said it any better.ne ne has no class.there not housewifes.
Janie Says
I watched all the episodes of HWOA and I am amazed at their importance, but I watched and will watch the reunion show. The only one I find with any real credibility is Kandi. Kim has not paid her dues as a singer, and will never pay her dues. She is a joke. The song is cute but only due to the mastery of Kandi's people and her imput. Sherie is lazy, is banking on her former husband's name, her fashions were a joke (what is with the fur lined underware? Dwight is too much, Lisa is phoney as a $3.00 bill and NeNe is a getho ho!
Who talks like her and pretends to be a classy lady. The "F" bomb is a staple for her. Why does Kandi owe her an apology? Kim won't sell that many records, but it has nothing to do with not having NeNe singing backups. What does she do but strut around and spout off. One of these days her head is going to fall off when she jerks it around in a circle. BAM! I guess I don't know who the Jones' are if she IS THE JONES'. She to totally classless and I wonder how she has even one true friend. She is loud and I would never want to be around her. I can't see how any of these women are truly housewives. Real housewives have real problems taking care of kids (no nannies) mananging homes (no cleaning ladies) and if they get to go to a hairdresser twice a year they are lucky. No designer clothes, no big purses, no drinking wine like water, and they have to hold
down full time jobs to help out their husbands. This is
very entertaining, but it is not representive of a real housewife, none of them, New York, Orange County, etc. are
real housewives. I would not trade my life for a single one
of them! Besides, I think I have more money of my own than any of these housewives and I cut my own hair and do my own
nails, clean my own house, and raised my own kids. I will put my good husband up against any of these men. Most of
them don't really have a man, how does that make them
housewives. I guess this makes all of we real housewives
thank the good Lord for our lives and not these phony ones! But again, like a good train wreck, I watch!
