Summary

*Running Time => 11 hrs。*

From Brian Moylan, the writer of Vulture’s legendary Real Housewives recaps, a table-flipping, finger-pointing, halter-topping VIP journey through reality TV’s greatest saga…

In the spring of 2006, a new kind of show premiered on Bravo: The Real Housewives of Orange County。 Its stars were tanned, taut, and bedazzled; their homes were echoey California villas; and their drama was gossip-fueled, wine-drenched, and absolutely exquisite。 Fifteen seasons on, RHOC is an institution, along with The Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta, New Jersey, Miami, Potomac, and more。 Over the years these ladies have done a lot more than lunch, launching thirty-one books, a cocktail line, two jail sentences, a couple supermodel daughters, Andy Cohen’s talk show career, thirty-six divorces, fourteen albums, a White House party crash, and approximately one million memes。

Brian Moylan has been there through it all, in front of the screen and behind the scenes。 The writer of Vulture’s beloved series recaps, he’s here to tell us the full story, from the inside scoop on every classic throw-down to the questions we’ve always wanted to know, like - what are the housewives really like off-camera? (The same。) How much money do they make? (Lots。) He has a lot to say about the legacy and fandom of a franchise that’s near and dear to his heart, and inextricable from pop culture today。

A must-have for any fan of real drama and fake [redacted], The Housewives is the definitive companion to an American TV treasure。

I am an amateur Housewives historian and this book fueled my passion for this franchise。 I loved the behind the scenes glances and the overall tea that was spilled。 I loved Brian Moylan narrating his own book too because it just felt right。 It was perfect。 Bravo!

Brian Moylan, pop culture anthropologist (😉) brilliantly takes us down the dramatic low road of the evolution of soap operas from radio serials to today’s newest hybrid reality tv。 It’s a 1930’s concept thrusted into modernity。 It’s the blurring of the ordinary to the extraordinary。 This book covers EVERYTHING from MTV’s Real World to tv’s competitive reality show, Survivor。 Brian gives us so much camp, it’s a burst of hilarity。 Brian, who runs and writes the Real Housewives Institute recalls the infamous Housewives one liners & crazy moments from table flipping, to multiple meltdowns, hair pulling cat fights, the boat trip from HELL and artificial limbs being thrown down。 There’s TONS of insider gossip all scandalous and delicious。 This book validates all the reasons I LOVE Bravo and reality tv。 Listening to this audio narration was pure joy。 It was like sharing the dishiest coffee date with your BFF。 Fantasy meets reality。 Bravo, Brian🙌🏻💕 。。。more
