Things are bubbling over on Real Housewives of Orange County and battle lines are being drawn. The girls took lie detector tests at Emily Simpson’s party, and Katie Ginella failed spectacularly. Now Katie is saying she feels like it was all a setup. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne is unimpressed and said the whole show, in general, is a setup.
She’s not entirely wrong, though. The Housewives franchise isn’t exactly designed to show off only the best sides of these women. After all, where’s the drama in that? The show thrives on showing off the biggest fights, the nastiest feuds, and more. After all, that’s part of the reason people tune in
Erika Jayne is in “a bad mood”
At the moment, Katie is not having an easy go of it. She’s a party of one right now on RHOC, and all the other ladies are against her. This comes on the heels of a very questionable lie detector test, which she failed, and other people passed despite flashbacks showing that they were lying. Very sus indeed!
On their podcast Two T’s In A Pod, Erika and Teddi Mellencamp discuss Katie’s reaction to Emily’s party and the immediate aftermath.
“Jenn (Pedranti) tells them that Katie thinks this was all a setup,” Teddi says. She paused and added, “This setup thing, though, I don’t like…”
“The whole show’s a setup, you fool,” Erika said quickly. “What part of this are you just coming to realize? The whole f*cking thing is a setup.”
The quickness with which she said it clearly indicates that she’s had her own experiences with the show, highlighting her not-so-best moments. She said previously that reality TV is difficult and is not for the faint of heart.
Teddi laughed at her conviction. And both women joked about the amount of “setups” in the Housewives franchise. They couldn’t believe the RHOC ladies didn’t realize this all by now. Eventually, Erika shakes her head and says, “I’m really in a bad mood. ”
“You’re in a bad mood and I’m post-immunotherapy,” Teddi says. “So we’re a big bag of uppers over here. Someone needs to drug us.” They proceeded to laugh over this until Erika said, “We need tranquilizers.”
Maybe that would help some of the RHOC ladies, too?
