Everything You Feel While Watching The Real Housewives

Nothing says "guilty pleasure" quite like the Real Housewives series, and when you tune in, it doesn't matter what season you're watching or which city they're from — you always end up on the same emotional roller coaster. Between all the fights and lavish getaways and impressive table flips, you're up, you're down, you're laughing, you're horrified, and by the time the reunion airs, you're just really, really flabbergasted. If you can't help but tune in season after season, it's time to discuss everything you feel when you watch The Real Housewives.
