About this deal

Not All Diamonds and R osé] spills the tea (or the rosé, if you prefer) on the reality empire with extensive reporting from the series' casts, producers, executives, and more.” By publishing your document, the content will be optimally indexed by Google via AI and sorted into the right category for over 500 million ePaper readers on YUMPU. Dave Quinn's Not All Diamonds and Rosé is the definitive oral history of the hit television franchise, from its unlikely start in the gated communities of Orange County to the pop culture behemoth it has become—spanning eight cities, hundreds of cast members, and millions of fans. Wives gone wild: The all-stars of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip dish on the new mash-up series All in all, I devoured the book because I love mess. Because of some of the points above, I feel conflicted. It's worth the read, but if you know someone with a hard copy, borrow it. If you expected a thoughtful exploration of these shows, these women, why we love them, etc., this isn't it. If you wanted some gossip and a fun read, but don't need your favorite 'wives to be held accountable– you'll like this. If you loved mess but were left wanting more analysis/depth, I'd recommend Brian Moylan's book and the Andy's Girls podcast.

just like in the show, garcelle was the only one in the book to defend denise. and don’t think i didn’t notice how the producer’s treatment of denise (and fourth wall breaking) isn’t mentioned at all, but they made sure to turn their nose up at denise’s “unprofessionalism” and the “bravo bravo bravo” comments. the women also continue to spin the tale of “denise was shaming and vilifying us for talking about sex, even though she always talked about sex” when that was very clearly not what happened at all. This exhaustive oral history features dishy interviews with 185 cast and crew members behind the Bravo phenomenon. Fans will delight to read about how it all got started.” Writer Quinn said in a statement: "As a dedicated viewer of Housewives since day one, it was such a thrill to walk through 15 years of history with the Housewives, producers, executives, and guest stars who helped make this franchise into the cultural phenomenon it is today." The biggest flaw of this book is it was written prior to RHOSLC’s meteoric rise (they don’t even get a chapter or mention!) and prior to this most recent season of RHOBH airing with unprecedented legal drama with Erika Girardi. Probably just need to release new editions every 5 years. 😹All these archetypes started appearing for me, and I had an idea to do a short film that was kind of a send-up of life in affluent suburbia; something tongue-in-cheek and a little parodistic. Then, around 2003, reality TV was becoming big business. It made me think of the Loud family, who were on PBS’s An American Family. And I said to myself, “There are plenty of characters here who are just as compelling. Maybe this could be a reality series? What would that look like?”
