Viewers Respond to Personalities

Going along with the topic of personality, I wanted to take a look at what type of personality gets the most attention from viewers. Since my last post was about Kelly Cutrone, a tough worker with an even tougher attitude, I decided to look at the rest of the Bravo blogs to see what type of personality gets the most feedback from viewers. Viewers love controversy! And love responding to it online even more!

This seasons Real Housewives of Orange County is filled with five very different personalities.
Vicki Gunvalson plays the loud, career obsessed, trash talker. Her blog for this week had 78 comments.
Alexis Bellino is new to the show. She plays the religious peacemaker who is obsessed with working out. 50 people responded to her blog.
Tamra Barney, who claims to be the “hottest housewife,” is going through a divorce this season landing her blog with 94 comments.
Gretchen Rossi still remains high with her 83 blog comments despite last season being her big moment after her fiancé died. I guess her good looks and bubbly personality keep viewers interested.

The winner of the most comment goes to the extremely loopy and absent-minded Lynne Curtin with 394. With her recent eviction viewed on last week’s episode along with her daughter calling her a “bitch” on national television, it seems as though viewers are responding to her the most.

Like I said, viewers love controversy!

  1. I find this post sooooo funny. I myself am a avid Real Housewives follower. I honestly don't have too much respect or care for any of the women expect for Alexis (she seems really sweet). The whole time I watch the show I'm usually talking to my tv saying "OMG, Vicki your really crazy" or "Tamara, your so fake" but I never considered taking my expressions to their particular blogs. I would be a way for my opinion to really be noticed. One reason why I think I've never taken my thoughts to their blogs is because though I would be expressing my feelings and how I feel I never want to be a "housewife basher". I know i may do or say things they may not agree with either but my life is televised. I often wonder if people who are consistently watching shows and commenting on other life's to involved with them rather in their self.
