We Are NOT 'The Real Housewives Of Dallas'

“We are far from a hick town and far from being southern belles.”

We Are NOT 'The Real Housewives Of Dallas'

Preface: The thoughts expressed in this article are purely my opinions in addition to some compiled Internet articles. The content in no way is meant to offend anyone.

We’ve all heard of the Reality TV franchise of "The Real Housewives Of…"

Some of us may enjoy watching these shows whether it’s Orange County, Atlanta, New York City, or New Jersey, while some may find the series of shows to be ridiculous and pointless. The newest one that has started up is actually the "Real Housewives of Dallas," and yes you heard me right. I said Dallas, Texas (or is it really Plano).

“It’s a little Plano in here,” as said by LeeAnne Locken.

Some of these spin offs have been very successful while others have failed miserably after a season or two. So, the fate of the Dallas Housewives you ask? That’s an interesting question, in the writer’s opinion, judging from the first couple episodes of this series, these Housewives will probably be joining the lists of those that have been cancelled and forgotten about. They say everything is bigger in Texas well in this case with these ladies everything is more dramatic for sure. One thing for certain, we are NOT "The Real Housewives of Dallas," those from the Dallas Fort Worth Metropolis are nothing similar to those people portrayed in the reality show. It’s advertised as a reality show, but is it really reality? Absolutely not. "The Real Housewives of Dallas" may be good people as claimed by various sources but that does not make them out to be good reality TV stars. People around here are known for being genuine, humble, and kind, we don’t see people yelling at the each other around every corner, whereas the housewives’ lives seem to evolve around yelling, screaming, and causing scenes everywhere they go.

(I am in no way trying to promote or encourage the viewing of this program, watch at your own discretion.)

These five ladies paired together fulfill every expectation while living in a large city that only seems to include Highland Park, Uptown, and Las Colinas. Surprisingly enough though, that isn’t shocking as Bravo has a tendency to leave no cultural stereotype untouched with any of their series. They seem to take things to a whole new level though with the excessive uses of Texas clichés. Shots are shown of Fort Worth, steakhouses, western wear, and longhorns so you can’t mistake the fact that this is certainly Texas, except there’s one issue with that, none of those things are actually within Dallas city limits or even Plano. That really isn’t even the biggest issue, but the series would be better if the show was actually compelling or intriguing, or even simply put, a TV train wreck, but it isn’t. What is it then? It’s a disgrace to all of us. It doesn’t allow people nationwide to see what we have to offer and what makes us unique, it doesn’t even really show the type of people most of us are. It conforms to negativity and poor choices that are exhibited by five ladies who are nothing short of disappointing and unfathomable. "The Real Housewives of Dallas" will probably have Americans hating Dallas all over again.

Again, we are NOT "The Real Housewives of Dallas," if you don’t believe me take it from some avid watchers such as the Mayor of Frankston or an Executive Assistant at MS Dallas…

“I am embarrassed by these women. Nobody I know acts like this. What's with all the giggling and talking about farts? The show is a snooze plus the nation will probably think all Texas women are a bunch of airheads.”

-Mayor of Frankston

“The REAL housewives of Dallas wouldn't lower themselves to appearing on a reality show. These women are an embarrassment to the city and women in general. Fingers crossed this one never makes it to season two.”

-Executive Assistant at MS Dallas

These are only two people’s opinions of the reality TV show, now it’s your turn, what’s yours?

If any of you watch this show or have any input regarding my article, let me know your thoughts...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
