My favorite Housewives shows are New York City, Beverly Hills. I also like rhoc. But I would often turn it off because of how offensive Kelly Dodd is! She's really a disgusting person! If she's not cutting somebody else down she just can't be happy. She doesn't have confidence, she has arrogance. Truly disgusting, she has no self-awareness and she can never take any responsibility! She's always minimizing the damage that she does to other's. Each season I try to watch, but, inevitably, Kelly Dodd makes the show trashy and no fun!

I don't believe Heather is disliked like Kelly says. Kelly needs to listen more before butting into people's live and. Be more concervered about her own life. Vikki has caused a LOT and she's trying to get symphony where she doesn't deserve it. Her dye knows. She also shouldn't commit on other people but herself. Trying to act like she didn't do anything
