I think I have watched pretty much every season of RW since at least season 2 (and I've seen season 1 in reruns). :

I like that they don't have a fake job this season and can do what they want. Still waiting for something really interesting to happen (maybe something did this week - I haven't watched it yet as my DVR didn't record it when it was supposed to.)

I've watched in the past but didn't watch this season.

What I really love are the challenges. Anyone know when the next challenge is going to be?

I have watched every season (my husband make fun of me - he watches people fish and blow things up)....But they are not on On Demand this season - not sure why. I can never remember when it's on and I never catch a rerun, so I haven't seen this one at all. The Reals Housewives of Orange County, however, I have seen all of the episodes!

So far this season is much better then the recent ones where the cast does nothing but get drunk, hook up with each other, etc. I have been waiting for them to get back to their roots so to speak.

There is a forum where the cast members from this season post on, Katelynn, Scott, Devyn and I think that is it. They give out some great background info that makes me look at the show with differnet eyes now, especially about stuff with this seasons trouble maker, JD. I don't think I am allowed to link to that board, but pm and I will send it to you.

I try to watch at least part of every season so I know who they are when they get on the challenges... I have to say, the most recent seasons were pretty dull, but I still can't get enough! They're just not as good as when I was in high school... sigh...

But I haven't seen anything beyond the first epi because it's not on demand sniff, sniff...

I watch. I like this season a lot, but I don't like the gender wars. Some of the boys are neat freaks and they expect everyone to keep everyone spotless. The blonde haired dude was picking Devyn's hair out of the sink, and there were only like 2 hairs and the sink was spotless otherwise. It was very weird.

I didn't watch the last 3 seasons or so, I just couldn't get into them. Although I did watch Denver with Colie and Brooke, where Brooke freaked out like a psycopath. Now that was fun.

My favorite shows are the challenges. The Island was a pretty weird format though. I like the ones where they live in a house and then do challenges every day, like the Gaunlet.

JD breaking the coffee table was pretty over the top for me. No one even flinched and I thought it was horrible. Then throwing the phone in the water? Wow, my view of him would totally change of him. And the rats in the girls bed, horrible. I am starting to think that he is a bad person.

[MichaelsSahm]

I watch it. and I like this season. JD has some anger issues though. LOL!

YEAH HE DOES!!!!!!!!!!! I still like him I think that there are a lot more issues with him than they have said. I really love this season it seems more "real" they have had real issues, and I love that they had to get their own jobs!

Who saw last night's episode?

I thought it was really great! I cried and cried! Really, it's for personal reasons, though. My brother was killed in Iraq last year, so I really didn't want Ryan to go back. This whole time, I've loved hearing his stories and seeing someone else on tv that always wears their black KIA bracelet like I do. I started crying when he was showing all his pictures from Iraq. They were so poignant and I was just wishing that my brother could have come back to show us his pictures.

Then to see Ryan crying...it had me bawling! It said he had to go back in February. Does anyone know how to find out if he left or not, like if he's there now? I was just so proud of him (like a big sister) that he was open about PTSD and could talk about how he feels. His movie showed a lot, that's for sure, considering how many of his friends have killed themselves. I think him talking about it will help a lot of vets.

I really liked how they showed the Veteran's Day Parade and the gala and the groups he got in touch with. I think that was so needed. And then one of the commercials had me in tears again. It showed a soldier coming home from war and there was no one in the airport, no one on the streets, no one at all. Then a Marine came up to him and said "Welcome home". And then the hustle and bustle of the streets were visible. I was bawling!!!!!

Anyway, last night's episode (and probably the follow-up next week) really meant a lot to me.

I cried like a baby this week Ifeel so so so bad for him and the whole eppi was amazing I think they did such a beautiful job on that one!!!!!

ETA: Monarchgrrl I am so sorry about your brother he was very handsome and brave to fight for his country. So so sorry for your loss. I have been wanting to say that to you but never the right thread and this seems right

Thank you, SunShine! That means a lot to me!

[tinyblackdot]

Yeah this year is more like the old school real worls and less like soft core porn.... you know? I LOVE it too!

[MichaelsSahm]

I agree, this yrs RW is more like the old school. Thank god. It has more heart, less nudity!

[rebecca03]

Count me in as another RW addict. I too love this season. I felt so bad for Ryan when he got that call from his brother. The gender war got out of hand, but I understand where the guys are coming from...it sucks having to clean up after ppl that dont do it themselves.
