Will You Watch "Real Housewives" Without Jo?

October 10, 2007

Well, it's official: Bravo will resurrect the show that aims to combine "Desperate Housewives," "The O.C." and reality TV — "The Real Housewives of Orange County." Yet the third season of the "docu-drama," premiering November 6, will be different in one key way: no Jo!

For me, watching Jo and her relationship with Slade was reason No. 1 to watch this show at all. I enjoyed seeing her navigate the treacherous waters that are SoCal housewifery, when all she really seemed to want was to seduce her friend's teenage son.

Will you tune into this next season of "Real Housewives," which will feature Vicki, Jeana, Lauri, Tammy and newcomer Tamra — but no Jo?

I just downloaded and watched season 1 on my ipod. I had to fastforward all the scenes with Jo and Slade in it. I really disliked how Joanna treated Slade's children. His Children are a big part of his life and she needs to accept that. I couldn't STAND her. I could tell the relationship was going nowhere. Jo was not willing to work on their relationship at all. And the comment she made about being 24 and not being a mother I thought was repulsive. She is MOTHER if she is dating a guy with kids. I was a mother at 25, so I guess Ican't relate to wanting to go out and party. If I had a guy like Slade and his two beautiful children I would treat him like GOLD!

I could never stand Jo and will watch more without her. She really should not sing and get a life.

I loved Jo. Yes, she was immature..but she kept the show entertaining for me! Slade was such a tool to me. I so don't have cable right now, but if I did I would watch the new season. (...I missed the last season, does anyone know where I can watch it online?)

Jo's probably off working on her "singing" career.. She did annoy me, but I don't know if I can watch the show without her.. Why do things always have to change..lol

Aw man!! Jo was the best part of the show! Although, I do like watching all the housewives' kids-- they should have a whole show of their own.

I'll still watch. I never liked Jo anyway.

I agree Minday. Jo was so annoying, so immature. And their relationship was totally fake and she totally couldn't sing and I totally watched both seasons and totally feel guilty about enjoying them and I will totally watch the new episodes. Totally. But only when they come on as reruns.

my guy is going to be less than thrilled to hear that this show is coming back...because i usually have him watch it with me. i love it, total guilty pleasure. slade and jo were probably the most entertaining of the bunch, but i'll probably still Tivo every episode. YAY!! I smiled when I saw this post, I wasn't sure if it was going to be back or not!

I was so annoyed by Jo and am ECSTATIC to hear that she isn't returning. She was annoying and not very talented. Hopefully they will show more of the "Real Kids" to add the young vibe...and it will be the best season yet!

that is an OLD pic of the cast. the one on the far left left the show in the end of the first season and the new mom with the two blonde daugthers came on. i'll watch b/c i love the sibiling rivalry between those sisters except i think one of them moved in with her dad [according to the reunion show].
