TV cannibalizing itself is surely the end of the road, at least the road as we know it. What&#8217;s left? Two commercials interviewing each other?<\/p>\n<p>So anyway, this guy named <strong>Andy Cohen<\/strong> sits around getting drunk with his guests, and shows promos of various Housewife Reunions. Last night I saw some <strong>Atlanta Housewives <\/strong>screaming and threatening each other and it was very exciting. I only caught a couple of the Atlanta shows, so I was very intrigued by the animosity between a big obnoxious tranny named<strong> Kim<\/strong> and a poor alcoholic woman called <strong>NeNe<\/strong> (sp?) Fucking fantastic!<\/p>\n<p>Then, Andy asked his guest, <strong>Isaac <\/strong><strong>Mizrahi<\/strong>, which of them was the gayest. Whoa! Complete toss-up, as <strong>Kelly Ripa<\/strong> concurred, whoever she is. Andy also asked Isaac which of them was more Jewish!&nbsp;\u00a0 My husband and I looked at each other in amazement and delight: Two Jewish fags sitting around drinking and talking shit!<\/p>\n<p>Where the fuck is <em>my<\/em> Reality show?!?!? An angry depressed unemployed Venice Housewife, getting in fights with the whole world&#8230;.I could invite my gays and talk shit about other bloggers! I would even drink, if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My husband discovered a new show for us to watch late at night, now that we&#8217;ve developed the habit of following Reality TV so we can jeer at stupid idiots and feel infinitely superior. &#8220;Watch What Happens Live&#8221; is like &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/godammit.com\/the-dregs-of-the-dregs-of-reality-tv\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[5,8],"tags":[269],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7t44M-GY","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2664"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/godammit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
