Bravo created the Real Housewives of Orange County, which was so successful it spun off into RH of New York City and Atlanta. The shows revolve around a fairly simple concept- watch these wealthy women (and sometimes their husbands) be completely wealthy, ridiculous, and have over-the-top drama. This format has worked so well for Bravo that they have become the de facto wealth network, exploring "Millionaire Matchmaking," first class clients (First Class All The Way), renovating houses for profit (Flipping Out) and upscale hairdressing (Blow Out) among many others.
Naysayers may say that two spin-offs of the original Housewives show is more than enough, but I kindly suggest they take a big deep breath before they read the next sentence. Bravo is now developing the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Jersey!! Now, I ask you, who would not want to watch New Jersey housewives go about their day, regardless of whether they are rich or not. I've literally spent minutes since hearing this imagining what the show will be like- will a Mafia wife complete with a fountain in front of her beyond garish house be featured? More Hamptons loving a la New York City? Houses by the Shore? Whichever way Bravo decides to go, you bet your big hair, French manicure and Juicy tracksuit I'll be watching.
