Will anyone here admit to watching Orange County Housewives?
MILF alert! 
They actually started talking about that this week.
I have now been sucked into this show and knew that one woman looked familiar. Turns out she was a Playboy playmate and I believe she was in the movie "Beach Girls" and some ZZ Top videos. Sadly she's plumped out a bit.
I won't devote too much more writing about this until I find out there is someone that actually watches this.
Here's a shot of the women:

And so are their kids. One 16 year old girl said "If my parents don't buy me this Lexus, it shows that they don't love me"...and she already had a car at that point...she just wasn't happy because her parents gave her a car that wasn't new. I feel so sorry for her. Really I do. Really.

There was a thread about entitlement in Other and these people definitely feel entitled.
Some of the kids are pathetic. The 20 year old girl that moved back home cuz she found out it's hard having a job and paying for an apartment, car, clothes, etc. Then she decides she should get her own room even though her just-divorced mother had to move the family to a small apartment and there is no room for her.
Then her car gets repossesed because she was $1700 behind in payments. Her mother said move money over to checking and pay it. She tells her that savings now has $300.
I'm sure the parents are too blame for the children's slacking off-the kids just go with the easy way that they've been taught.
The one family did have the 16 year old that didn't want a used Lexus or whatever it was. So they got her a new car. I noticed her brother is driving an Audi A6.
Again the parents are too blame but I'm sure they don't want their friends to see the kids in a junker or average car. Gotta keep up appearances, etc.
It's rough having money-there's so much pressure!

I've watched a few here and there with my wife (who loves ANY reality TV show no matter the concept or execution).
I grew up fairly well off with a physician father and a seemingly-endless stream of trophy-wife stepmothers, and even I can't relate at all to any of those people.

I have to confess to watching this. It is a total guilty pleasure. Like many reality shows, there are certain aspects (or more specifically certain characters and situations) that I like far more than others. But I think Jo and Slade are pretty funny. But the entitlement of the kids is a little mind blowing at times.

What about "THE ESTATES"? I think that's the place a biz guy said was his home when Slade was at his office. He later went to the guy's house where the trophy wife is obsessed with sparkly things. She had some monster truck w/50K (or was it larger?) cubic zirconias on the rims.
Slade has his cliche line he kept using "Let's figure out a way to make you a lot of money" when he means give me some biz so I can make a lot of money.
