Anyone watching? The majority of these women are very superficial. Are they actress wannabes?

Sis, it is in Scottsdale - home of several reality tv contestants over the years. It seems very scripted and Desperate Housewivesh.

Well, I didn't watch all of it so I'm not exactly sure who everyone is. I think the one husband joking about swapping is kind of creepy. Couldn't keep his hands off all the girls. I guess he could just be really friendly. I kinda like the newylwed girl but as a couple they seem to hate each other most of the time. She sure has pretty hair though. The one single lady has some big Texas hair but she seems pretty interesting. I may watch again atleast until Big Brother starts. Seriously, is this supposed to be a "reality" show or just a regular series?

HI Beachcomber! Thanks for answering. I can't decide if I like it but I will probably tune in next Tuesday.

I watched it, seemed like they were all having issues with something. Kind of depressing show to me. The one that has a doctor for a husband that doesn't want to have sex, he looked gay....

I watched about 10 minutes of it and said, that's enough.

No redeeming qualities in this program. The characters did nothing to hold my interest. Too many people invovled and who cares to watch a wannabe Desperate Housewives type show? But then, I don't watch Desperate Housewives either. I will not watch it again.

Same here, Rosie. I felt let down after all the hype. These new 'reality stars' were acting. They did seem superficial. The newlywed marriage is one of the worst I've ever seen. The husband has severe issues and the wife isn't much better. Not sure I like the oldest woman either. She seems to want to take over the younger women. Had to laugh at the woman with the creepy husband flirting with all the women at that party. When she said she had sex 3 to 4 times a week, umm...she didn't say it was with her husband. Seems they are swingers.

Glad you guys thought it was scripted. For a minute I thought it was my imagination that they said "reality" were following these people. Perfect houses, perfect hair, and they all look great? I must admit though, I watched the whole thing.

I admitted to watching the whole thing too. So don't feel bad, Headache. I am on the left coast so was checking out this thread during the right coast show time and was afraid this was going to be a train wreck because of the lack of posts and then a couple adverse posts trickled in.

Went about 10 minutes, then wanted to poke myself in the eye for wasting the 10 minutes.

lol Jhezzie. I couldn't tell from the previews whether this was a "real" reality show, or just one that said it was and wasn't. (OK, just confused myself.) Sounds like y'all who watched couldn't tell the difference either. Guess I'm glad I missed it.

I watched but then there was almost nothing else on last night.. I think it is trying to pick up on the popularity (such as it was) of REal Housewives of OC.. the only couple I felt much for was the one with the husband out of rehab. They at least seemed to talk, listen and care about each other.

LOL! Love everyone's comments. I have an icky taste in my mouth after this one. If they go the wife-swapping route next week then I bail out. Mamie, I know you are wondering where in the heck is the bookclub part of the show

"Good in Bed"? Such profound literature! Do they really expect us to believe this is reality tv? I rather liked the oldest woman the best, despite the distraction of big hair. The one I liked the least is the newlywed, Lynn. I felt sorry for her "husband", because of the way she was ordering him around and lording it over him because she's the "breadwinner". Was happy she'd have to dig through dog crap to retrieve her wedding ring. I don't believe one bit of it, but I found it entertaining enough to watch as a fictional drama. Eww, they're swapping next week. I guess whoever gets the swinger husband is winner of the booby prize.

I actually read the book..Good in Bed..last week. I thought it was a good book, not really what the title makes you think the book is about. Cin

I wish they did focus a bit more on the "book" and less on the foolishness on the sides. I would rather see 10 mins of side show and 50 of the book meeting. You can still learn a lot about people and dynamics by watching there interacting with each other. Oh well nothing else on, and I need background noise to cross stitch too.

Newman -- if you find your way over here, many of us read MORE than one book a week. (Not sure about these ladies, I must admit, though!) I agree, Cindy -- more book meeting, less icky side stuff. Pretty sure this one isn't even going to be background noise at our house.

OK, we're supposed to believe these are real people, reality tv, telling their real stories? It didn't feel like that to me. I know I heard that at the beginning, when I wasn't paying attention, but sluffed it off because it wasn't like any reality show I've ever watched, not like Survivor or Idol or Apprentice. When they talked about the book, didn't one say she read a few pages or something un-serious like that? What makes this a "reality" show? It feels like it has a script. They look like good looking actors. I don't get it...

I watched this week and it did appear so scripted, especially when the little girl was talking with her mom and had to work up the tears. Now we will never know if the doctor's wife gets what she wanted

Oh, so they did cancel it? Well, good, although I was interested to see how the bodybuilder's story would turn out. Her husband was a jerk! I only saw about 1 1/2 episodes, but I was so sickened by the single mom, I forgot to even tune in again. Her crying jag at the therapist office killed me. "struggling to make ends meet"?? - with that house and that car? "work, work, work, no time for the kids"? - In that week alone she had lunch with the ladies, a supposedly spontaneous botox party, book club night, and one other thing I can't remember. Glad it got cancelled! Had they shown a real book club with real people with real lives they would have had a much more interesting show, and probably saved a ton of money...(can you imagine what these ladies probably cost CBS?)
