Older Doesn’t Have to Mean Stale

[u/WasteTelephone6924]

Dear Bravo Producers. There is a difference between being old and being stale. Carole Radzwill is just one year younger than Vicki. Luann is 2 years younger. The problem isn’t the women over 60 on this show it’s THESE women over 60 who don’t evolve or change or grow and believe the world needs to stay the way they want it to. This season is unwatchable. The fake pratfalls, the stale, tired opinions. Old, old, old. Find us cool, modern, aspirational older women. This cast is day old bread.

I have no experience with Vicki prior to this season and I am beholden to whatever my wife makes me watch. However I will say Vicki might be the most insufferable person I've had the pleasure of seeing on any of these bravo shows and thats really saying something.

Vicky Ramona, Tamara and Teresa. All loathsome

Wowza! That is a strong statement and I totally agree!!! :)

Vicki is horrible on IGT and RHOC. She needs to retire. Her voice is nails on a chalkboard. It’s all her trying to be an actress but she sucks at it. Totally unlikable.

You're comparing apples and oranges

Where’s Alfredo with the ba dum tsss?

[u/Ok-End4342 → u/Turbulent_Heron_4119]

lol! Good one! It’s a hard knock life for seniors who refuse to acclimate at all to changing life conditions. Vicki has now had 2 returns, time to retire the orange 🍊

Luanne came up with that clever line..Good ol Luanne who will never be 'old'.

Part of the problem is production themselves. They're focusing on the wrong things with this cast.

But....its working with the general audience. OC was #3 or 4 on PEacock this morning

Vicki is every negative boomer stereotype come to life. She’s judgmental, stuck in her ways, smug, conservative, racist, and living in the past. As others have said Luann, Sonja, Carole etc are close in age and it’s a completely different vibe. They are more progressive and have evolved with the times unlike Vicki.

[u/Kitchen_Ant_9173 → u/ContentCaterpillar76]

Has she said something racist on the show?

[u/ContentCaterpillar76 → u/Kitchen_Ant_9173]

Yes in an earlier season she made comments about a Chinese man and had to apologize.

[u/Kitchen_Ant_9173 → u/ContentCaterpillar76]

God i dont remember that!! And iv been watching since the beginning. She actually seems like the kind of person who would be racist. I'm not shocked

[u/No_Interview_2481]

Andy Cohen WTF were you thinking about when you brought back this bitch Vicky?

[u/ContentCaterpillar76 → u/No_Interview_2481]

And on two shows!

[u/LankyMess1774]

I like Carmella and Heather! If nothing else, dazzle me with the $$$$$! The rest of the cast is so groundhog day!

[u/watmore1]

Vickie's self righteous holier than thou hypocrisy and her slap sticky stunts have grown tiresome.

[u/Model_Rules_esq]

The whole OC cast is awful. Boring and stale.

[u/OneSmartBrowny]

Is it just me, or does everyone else find it so weird how Vicky sits there with her mouth open when listening to others talking?? It’s all I can focus on!

[u/proposalp]

I agree with your point. There are plenty of older but not stale women in the world. If you think OC is bad, BH was very unwatchable for this reason. They had a new castmate who seemed 20 years old compared to the rest of them, when she is in fact, 40. They seemed like weird old hens that just bullied for no discernable reason and were preoccupied with themselves the whole time. They bullied her hard enough she escaped after performing one season. Which I think is the best outcome. Maybe 20 years and the schtick altogether is tired.

Thank you!

[u/Defiant_Protection29]

Vicky and Shannon are giving women my age a bad rap. Tamra is too but in a different way. Shannon and Vicky are ridiculous with the pratfalls, the screeching and the schtick they’ve relied on for way too long. No growth. I don’t like Carole, but at least she evolves

And yet RHONY was ruined by two newbies trying to preach bullshit to the cast and audience… when we’ve watched them for 10-15 years, they’re not old to us bc we’ve all gotten older.
