Show Notes
This week, we're taking a break from RHONJ to talk Bravo's newest literary venture, "Not All Diamonds and Rosé" by Dave Quinn. The “Paradise Lost” of our times, its undeniably epic in scope and scale. It’s sprawling, it’s ostentatious, it's candid, it’s funny, it's tragic, and it’s a legitimization of our longtime thesis that these shows are truly literary. We talk the origins of The Real Housewives, the importance of Tamra Judge, the Housewives that didn't take part in the book (we're looking at you, Bethenny), and those whose voices leapt off the page.

Nobody asked for it. Nobody wanted it. But we're doing it anyway. This week we discuss the first two (and a half) episodes of Netflix's unethical, exploitative, flawed, truly batshit reality dating show "The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On." We talk dating, marriage, heterosexuality, self-deprecation, and compromise. Instagram.com/HousewivesArchives

Ah, Ladies of London: it was a cult classic that came and went, was largely ignored, eventually rebooted, and promptly canned again. Basically, it's a perfect subject for The Housewives Archives. This week we discuss etiquette, "British humor", gays on Bravo, being "creepy", pink walkie-talkies, The Tragedie of Martha and Daddy's Fez, and Alex McCord.
