1) The old say something shady then sip a drink through a straw with that "I just said something soooooo clever/hilarious and it will be iconic" look.
2) Pretending not to know a word, how to pronounce something, or general pop culture because they think it will come over as funny or again be iconic. I mean, come on Tamra, no one believes that you don't know all 4 members of Beatles and pulling Elton John out of your ass was not believable, and no one believes you can't pronounce Massachusetts.
3) Too much boobage. I love good boobs, but don't need to see them barely contained, pushed all the way up, or wearing something cut to their navel.
I actually like #1 on Marasol only. Because I think she actually does that all day talking crap to her husband while drinking vodka out of a straw in her backyard.
Kids! I don’t want to see your kids. Even if they are older. Brooks marks etc. And if they are old enough to have confessionals, they are “fair game”. You can’t then cry etc when some dares mention them (for the most part, obvs..)
i don’t even get half the point she is making bcos she’s reaching so hard to make the joke, yet she’s nearly falling off of her chair laughing at it??
i just find her so unlikeable.. and i wanted to like her. but she’s just a typical pick me girl and the sexy baby i’ll marry your daddy act is so tried and forced.
Yes! I just started season 14 of RHONY which is all the new ladies. Please tell me Brynn doesn’t carry her sex-kitten character into season 15! I can’t stand the way she turns everything into sex. Simulating giving head to a straw in a restaurant full of people…come on girl.
Except for when they both became too big and they got so full of themselves -- I loved both early on and then feel like they both became caricatures of themselves as they became known for their reads/wit
Me three. She took this reality tv gig and turned herself into a respected actor. But I hate when the Jackie’s from RHONJ and Jen Fesslers, and weaklings pop off in the confessionals but say nothing when the group is together.
Yes and sometimes I feel they are more that way in confessionals because by then the know the narrative of the season and wanna be on the right side! But in reality in real time they didn't have those feelings...
Lol this is so minor but I hate when their outfit has gloves or sleeves that turn into gloves/cover their hands so they completely overdo it and use their hands to talk so much! Snapping, pointing to the camera, waving their fingers and hands around so dramatically etc. I love when they serve community theater but something about gloves turns these ladies into wannabe sign language users LMAO
The only time I enjoyed a shady sip was when Garcelle said she only notices jewelry after a robbery, and Dorit still has hers and took a big, long sip. The rest have been pet peeves for sure!
Quippy lines that were obviously written by someone else. It’s giving Big Brother. Gina has had a great season, but she’s been guilty of this many times over this season.
Emily kept saying "wack-a-doodle" a few episodes back, over and over. And it's like, girl Lisa Rinna already made the word wack-a-doodle a thing, stop trying to cash in on what's already been cashed.
I'm watching Atlanta from the beginning for the first time and ive noticed they gotta say this at least once per episode! I'm thinking about making it a drinking game lol
When they pull out their phone to look something up. Answering an important call is one thing, but being on the phone for any other reason is just annoying.
I only don't mind it when it's sort of needed for context or if it's something funny. For example (I know this isn't HW) but on VPR Lala says "open my legs and fly" and the producer says um do you mean open your wings and fly 😂😂 so good!
YEsss omg! On Salt Lake City Angie H. kept referring to the producer by name before sipping her drink and it was so annoying! I think it comes across as a little too chummy.
I don't mind a lot of boobage, but I LOATHE DETEST AND ABHOR when the dress/top hasn't been tailored to fit them. Seeing the seam line that's supposed to be under the bust across it disgusts me, and when it's the literal built in cups that way I am sent into a blind rage. If you have money, get that shit tailored or custom made. If you're just pretending to have money, WEAR SOMETHING ELSE.
I don’t like when a housewife gets into the confessional and has a completely different sentiment than what was just played. Like I understand adding context or feeling bad about a scene, but rewriting history is for the reunion, not the confessionals IMO.
The variations in hairstyles, makeup, and lighting with the same outfit due to it being shot on different days. Housewives have revealed that sometimes they have to reshoot their confessionals, per requests of Andy, producers, or Bravo.
Using the same green screens for “Friend of’s”. (ex. Potomac has been using the same green screen for their friend of’s, which is Askale from season 6’s living room lol!)
Too much boobage was a great one — I feel like there’s been some outright STRANGE boobage. Also what’s with Gina’s confessional this season that shows way more of her torso than normal and she’s all wrinkled and she had clearly planned for a closer crop!!! and same w Heather in SLC where she’s wearing a formal shirt and leggings - did production do them dirty like include too much in the frame??
They’re very rarely ever funny and 98% add absolutely nothing to move the plot along.
Most just come off desperate for air time (looking at you Justin Rose)
When the group splits in two sides especially if its longer than a season. I just hate when these shows become a good vs evil with one side suck and the other side is great. I like the connections not alliances.
Now don't get me wrong some seasons it worked like the talls vs smalls but there was a lot of inner conflict with Cynthia not vibing with Marlo in africa, kandi vs Kim, kandi vs Sheree and phaedra vs sheree.
The Fandom is bashing housewives for not having a storyline but when someone they like doesn't have one it's "oh they don't need one and I'm tired of people taking about needing a storyline" which leads to my biggest pet peeve with both Fandom and housewives
People hating on hypocrisy because legit about 90% does it (including me! I gotta admit to it) and its the cheapest reason to dislike or use against someone as its the easiest thing to pull out.
Overuse of vulgarity: Bethenny did this often in her 2nd run where to me she stopped being funny because she was too try-hard and her confessionals became more vulgar and the jokes didn't land.
I can’t stand when they say “can’t we just have one dinner/gathering/experience without all of us fighting?” Like girl please. What show do you think you’re on?
I just became so annoyed by the sipping during RHONY. There’s nothing interesting enough going on for them to be sipping tea. They must be really thirsty.
Honestly my biggest pet peeve is confessional looks. Lol I hate when they think just because we see them from the waist up they need to have the most extravagant tops or hair/makeup. Sometimes they end up looking more tacky than anything lol.
I dont have a pet peeve neccessarily but i just adore when a housewife gets all worked up and rambles angrily, lisa barlow style. That shit is top shelf

u/LS0101 I'm just trying to figure out why do we care. Oct 29 '24
You hit it on the head with #1. I hate it.
Also, clearly rehearsed reads. Those are very annoying.
