The original Housewives, as in the Desperate ones, were back tonight for a whole new season of lying, backstabbing, stalking as well as the theme of tonight’s opener, “Sin in the Suburbs.”
Gaby has her hands full with her sneaky niece, Ana, calling her out on the baggy sweatshirt that’s covering up a hoochie-coochie top. Typical Carlos turns the other cheek and wants Gaby to give the girl a break. Carlos needs to find his cojones and recognize bad behavior instead of always letting Gaby be the bad guy. Later, Carlos tries to convince Gaby to become Ana’s legal guardian. Gaby’s not feeling it and says she wants to keep her options open. Ana continues to defy Gaby by sneaking into a nightclub after Gaby forbade her to go. The always ballsy Gaby went to the club, took to the stage and announced over the microphone to the crowd if they didn’t give up her underage niece, she was calling in the cops and their drug-sniffing dogs. After a heart-to-heart, Gaby signs the guardianship papers and lets Ana know she’s gonna watch her like a hawk. My money’s on Gaby as the victor in this war.
We all know the show. Many of us love it. Who wouldn’t? The women are beautiful. The men are handsome. They have outrageous lives, pretty clothes, beautiful houses and they can get away with anything. Yes, ABC has created something exceptional.
Now this is the guilty pleasure of the TV world. This is the nighttime soap opera. This is the one show that you can’t seem to turn away from. It has so many juicy secrets and it seems that women and men eat it up. Yes, I said men! Would you believe that more men have written about this show then women? It is not what you think either. You would think that they are talking about the girls but they want to know what is going on as much as the women.
Do you think that Desperate Housewives is getting desperate for new plots? Or do you think that they are still on the right road?
