The new cast of The Real Housewives of Melbourne at the show's launch at Crown's Metropol. Left to right: Chyka Keebaugh, Andrea Moss, Jackie Gillies, Lydia Schiavello, Gina Liano and Janet Roach.
Good citizens of Melbourne, you deserve an apology. For you have been defamed and disparaged in the most grotesque and undignified manner.
Females of this great city, you have extra reason to be riled, for you have been delivered a one-two punch, an uppercut to your gender along with a left hook to your home city.
Not that the fine men of Victoria have escaped ridicule via the abomination that is the Real Housewives of Melbourne though. Oh no, they too have been reduced to emasculated imbeciles with little appeal other than fat cheque books and a blinkered besottedness for the women they married in this sad excuse for entertainment.
Never, in my trash TV loving memory (which has included other “Housewives” franchises such as Orange County, Atlanta, New Jersey, Manhattan, New York City etc) have I seen a worse show than this local instalment. And I don’t mean so bad it’s good TV. I mean unwatchable dross featuring unlikeable people made by lazy, and seemingly malicious producers. It may be easy to cast women into stale stereotypes of brain-dead bimbo and brazen bitch, but allowing bullying to be the one and only plot line of the series is inexcusable.
