MouseMouseMonday #33: Review - Big Rich Texas

Welcome back to MouseMouseMonday!

We feel that there is no better way to get back into the spirit of things than have ANT write us a review. Here it is:

"Today I’d like to discuss the train wreck that is Big Rich Texas. In short, it follows five wealthy wives and their spoilt daughters as they squabble, whine and complain about each other. I cannot pin point exactly what it is that I enjoy about this programme. But I have a few ideas: 
• The angry, middle-aged housewives, failing miserably to conceal their age by paralyzing their faces with botox and cosmetic surgery. 
 • The fact that, despite their age, they act like children in every way, attacking each other’s life choices at every opportunity. I was wrong in thinking that everyone matures eventually. 
• The embarrassment that are their kids, expectant on a lifetime of luxury whilst having no intention of accomplishing anything in life asides from experimenting with incest. 
• The wives' distorted priorities. (One wife criticizing the parenting of her peers, whilst her daughter considers cosmetic surgery at sixteen, for instance. *face palms*) 

I realise now that it is all very sad. Because although their fancy purses and elaborate lifestyles may seem attractive to the everyday eye, behind their smiles they conceal a lifetime of b****iness, disapproval and battered self-esteem. I cannot imagine a life so consumed by criticism and fakery. 

Big Rich Texas targeted me whilst I was unwell, reeling me in with the promise of an hour’s worth of chaos in what was otherwise an uneventful day. In hindsight, I am more willing to say that it is simply disappointing that these people are continuing to breed and therefore continuing this ridiculous show. 

Nevertheless, it rarely fails to bring drama and attitude that is, although tiresome, somewhat gripping. And despite its cast making me feel both infuriated and curious in equal measure, the possibility of a second series excites me for all the wrong reasons."
