Is anyone else catching this right now?

"The elite lifestyles of trophy wives can be challenging as they try to keep their man happy and juggle their own families and businesses." From Beverly Hills to Orange County.

One trophy wife is 28 and has a stepson 31 who works for her, and they both work for sugar daddy.

There's a matchmaker who recognizes one of the husbands and was also a whatever wrestling model with the pregnant one.

The pregnant trophy wife who will not have a child natually because she doesn't want anything to change her vagina. I kid not.

My mouth is still kinda stuck open, I can't remember the others. My favorite part was listening to each of them announce what number of wife they are. "I'm the third." "I'm the fourth." And the age difference.


Looks like this show is trying to combine all Bravo shows into one.

I just can't wait for an SNL parody or any others.

YES. It was already on earlier, and since this is the re-run, I presume we can discuss.

OMG what a bunch of pastic, fake, phoney-baloneys who all look rode hard and put away wet, years older than they claim to be, with cheap-ass hair extensions, plastic surgery, and faces pumped full of fillers.

And their men are just gross and look older than they claim to be, too.

To me, this is just a disgusting and vulgar display of excess wealth. Rich people problems. I feel sorry for all their little dogs.

I just posted this elsewhere. Speaking of Bravo. Manny and his wife were on Shahs of Sunset last week. And the girl that owns the swimwear company is actually the partner of the new girl on Shahs.

This show was awful. And I used to enjoy Shahs but all this crossing over bullshit is making me dislike now.

[LabLover27]

Oh, I'm sorry travelguru, I didn't see it anywhere else.

But glad for that info. I can't stomach the Shahs anymore. Very interesting.

Don't they look terrible? I mean yes they are all thin (and apparently the only way to keep your husband faithful to you is to remain thin). But that one girl, from the car shop, looks like she's in her 40s, not 28!! Beverly hills must sell distorted mirrors for these women to think they look good.

[carolinagirl81]

So glad to see a thread for this show. What happend to this network its called the learning channel, WTF am I supposed to be learning about trophy wives? Side note they couldn't find one of color trophy wife? Just saying even a bi racial one would've been cool. Guess sugar daddy's in LA aren't looking for that, they want Pam Anderson types. I wonder if this was a one episode deal to see how the ratings went.

[prmami]

Yeah, I was wondering if this was a one time special thing, myself.

Some of these women look to be older than they are. Late 20s? Yeah, okay...

Tilo, he husband with the 31 year old son, has a nice body for an older man.

These women were shallow, dense, fake, and materialistic. I don't buy any of them as serious businesswomen, and it's not because of their looks. They seem to think so highly of themselves in their positions as trophy wives that they don't seem to realize that their men have been married several times, and I'm sure the previous wives thought they were secure, too. Their men will drop them soon enough for the next woman. That's how it always is when men are seeking trophy wives.

As for Paula (?), the one whose step-son hates her, she has some nerve. The son will be there forever - you will not be. That dad isn't firing his son any time soon. I saw how much he teared up when talking about his son and how much he loves him. The son has seen many women walk in and out of his dad's life because of the money, I'm sure he's tired of seeing people use his dad (and I'm sure he's tired of seeing his dad use these young women). He's probably thinking 'why can't my dad settle down with someone his age?'.

And I am not convinced these women are 30 and under. They looked much older.

Paula is a truly horrible woman. The sex must be that good for Tilo (?) to pretty much look the other way while every single word out of her mouth is anti-Danny (the stepson who is actually older than her and that she seems OBSESSED with). Did I hear her right? She's the CEO of Eurocar? Oh come on. She blew her way into that position.

Jennifer (married to gross, lecherous Alki David) at least has some awareness about her situation but seems to be delusional as well. Working out twice a day so he isn't tempted by other women? Oh honey. You might be his wife for the moment but there will always be someone younger, fitter and hotter that's going to tempt him. If he didn't mean his vows when he said them to all his ex-wives, why do you think yours are so special? Get a clue.

[chamuska]

It's on later today and I've set my DVR. Sounds like a train wreck not to be missed!

[NYTeacher]

I love the delusion of thinking "he dumped the others, but he'll keep ME.".

I truly can't stand when the "reality" shows take their audience for fools. Please don't pretend that the party at the dealership was not organized for the show, or that they "spontaneously" decided to take the party to a restaurant for a bite to eat.

[jamisloan]

I'm going to love this show SO much!!! It's everything I want in my trashy reality tv.

[PharmGal10]

I don't think this has been officially been picked up as a show, Based on what I saw on Jennifer's blog, I am going to assume that TLC will wait for feedback and ratings before giving it a full season. As of now, this is just a one-off special...at least, that's how it's been advertised.

Yes this show was entirely too fake and scripted. But then again most TLC shows are.

[ChicksDigScars]

Yeah, I won't be watching this show. Five minutes of the premier episode was all I needed to know about it. I'd rather watch June's vajiggle jaggle on a continuous loop than this shit.

[MrsPBateman]

Am I the only one that thinks Paula distances herself from her husbands son because she is attracted to hom? He's more in her age bracket and aside from the soul patch he was pretty attractive. So I could see her being attracted to him but putting on the show that she dislikes him so nothing is ever acted on.

[PharmGal10]

I think Paula is the kind of woman who is used to men tripping over themselves because they are attracted to her, and it bothers her that the husband's son thinks so little of her. I don't think she's hot, but I think she is pretty enough. It bothers her that the son doesn't give a shit about her even though, on the surface, she's appealing. IDK, that's just the conclusion I came to.

[affirmed]

The women are all 27 or 30? They all looked way older. Too much filler and puffy lips will age a person. The whole stepmom/stepson drama is so sad. That dad loves his son so much and clearly stepmom has an agenda to rid him of his job and out of his dad's life. I don't think she is attracted to him, I think she is threatened by him and how much Dad loved him. I feel for the co-workers too.....I bet she makes worklife uncomfortable for them too.

Jennifer (married to gross, lecherous Alki David)

He really is a slimy guy, isn't he? Just comes off as shifty. Walking up to that young model and offering her a banana? Keep it classy Alki!

[MrsPBateman]

I do agree that they all look much older. Jennifer and Paula are 27 and 28 I think and that's only a few years older than me and I sure hope I don't age that much in such a short time. They all look older.

[goofygirl]

Oh, Paula,Paula, Paula... You poor delusional fool. It's not obvious or anything that the reason you want to get rid of sonny is because you think he doesn't kiss your ass like his Father does (and he SHOULD, in your opinion).
Seriously? HOW MANY women do you think Sonny (can't think of his name!) has seen in his life run thru Dad and his $$$?? You really are completely deluded. Stop it already. At least have a baby so you can get some serious child support down the line when Daddy-o trades you in on a newer model. It's only a matter of time.

Thought that one couple looked familiar from Shahs of Sunset. Blech! I'm really trying to get into it again this year, but so far, lot much luck.

[prmami]

I can't recall if Paula said Tilo already got a vasectomy and they discussed getting it reversed?

Shades of Slade and Gretchen on Housewives of OC.

[BessieLimpet]

She discussed getting it reversed when talking to the other women, I bet Tilo has no intention of doing it. If he's smart he won't.

[ellysbelly]

According to her own bio, Paula Steurer (Tilo's wife) started a PR firm in 2008 after a DECADE of work experience (http://www.sterlingp...pages/ABOUT/THE FOUNDER)

That would make her at *least* 32 (assuming she started working at 18 + a decade of working as of '08)-- and more likely closer to 36, if she started working at age 21-22. Either way, the math does not add up to her being only 28.

[beeblebrox]

Oh, I love this show and all of its fakery. I couldn't believe the pregnant woman and getting a c-section instead of a natural delivery. C-sections take a lot longer to recover from than natural births. They seemed so ill prepared for the realities of a baby. I'm betting that they have nanny who will mother that baby. All of the wives and their homes felt like carbon copies. I can't wait for more fake episodes.

[buggeroff]

Ya these are trophy wives.The horses ass trophies you get in pool tournaments.Other than the bikini girl and matchmaker they are fake,vapid,makeup encrusted barbie girls married to pathetic old farts and about as interesting as watching fruit rot.Orange county is the bunghole of North America.

[MaryDell]

This has to be an act, right? No one could seriously think that living like that is a worthwhile way to spend your time on Earth or even think that they look good with that hair and make-up, could they?

Just imagine how much time these women spend each and every day of their lives on their hair, make-up, working out, nails, tanning, shopping, choosing clothes, and getting dressed. They could do something productive with all that time but I suppose then they would need either brains or personalities.

Someone help me out -- I watched the whole show (sadly), but I don't believe we were ever told what these men do to make all this money. We did hear that Tilo runs an expensive-but-still-used car dealership. (P.S. If I can afford a Rolls Royce or a Bentley, do I really want to buy a used one?)

By the way, I checked out Paula Steurer's website (thank you ellysbelly) and either the words "foundation principals" means something in PR that it doesn't mean in ordinary English or else she meant to write "principles."

Her LinkedIn page includes this gem: "Giving back is an important part of the mission at Sterling Public Relations, Inc. and is a pillar upon which the brand has been built on."

Ouch. She must be quite the business leader, alright.

I don't believe we were ever told what these men do to make all this money.

I had the same question. I would like to know if anyone paid attention to these guys' names and looked them up. Do real businesspeople have time to appear on a TLC show? If they did, was it to promote their businesses? Other than the car guy, I didn't see what the other slimeballs do for a living, either.

Maybe they're "producers," LOL.

We know there is so much fakery going on here. Maybe they're all really leveraged up to their eyeballs, renting the Rolls for one day, and maybe the one couple (I forget which) are not really living in that 16k-17k foot mansion but really TLC rented it for 3 hours one morning, and maybe these people need the TLC paycheck. I don't know. And the paycheck, split between all these adults, can't be very big.

Maybe they're actors. The prego one with the most hideous extensions on the show used to be a game show girl.

This show had to be a complete set up to get us all mad and disgusted at these plastic, materialistic, money-grubbing people.

I have some theories. First of all, if these women are all okay with rounding down their ages, I would not be surprised if they were rounding up their work experience. Secondly, it just says that she has worked "for both large and small companies alike, over the course of a decade." For all we know, she started babysitting when she was 13 and is counting that as working for a small company. Or she worked at the mall in high school and that's part of her decade. The vaguer a resume sounds (like hers), the more suspect. Exaggeraters be exaggerating!

Funny that someone in PR doesn't have a proof reader with a proper grasp of grammar look over the website. Paula sure loves those extraneous erroneous commas. She's a "fiery (comma) Italian-American" who offers "quality (comma) personalized...support" who worked for all kinds of companies (comma) over the course of a decade (comma). I would love to take a red pen to her website.

On a shallow note (because, hey, this show is about shallow people), what the hell is up with the picture on her website? She's wearing a slightly off the shoulder top with her neck cranked around 90 degrees so she can smile off to the side - is this a high school graduation portrait?

And why does she feel it's necessary to mention that she's Italian American? I guess she has to point that out since her last name is nowhere near Italian.

Lastly, she is a regular guest speaker at "many FIDM campuses in Southern California" - despite the fact that there are only four FIDM campuses total in the entire state (one in San Francisco, one in LA, one in Orange County, and one in San Diego). Based on her loose interpretation of the facts, I'm going to guess that "several" actually means "two."

I love how these women think they are their husband's true loves. Yeah right. Your husband has been married multiple times and I'm guessing they won't be the last. I hope your Birkins and Chanels will keep you warm at night as you get punted into the street without so much as a Bentley in your name. Jennifer's husband says she has a black American Express card in her name that she can spend whatever she wants. I bet that's all she has. I'd imagine all of these guys are pre-nupped to the hilt and the wives won't get anything in the end. I was reading Jennifer's blog and she had a post that stated that her husband left his last wife on the advice of a psychic.....Nice guy.

[Palomar]

Too much filler and puffy lips will age a person. The whole stepmom/stepson drama is so sad. That dad loves his son so much and clearly stepmom has an agenda to rid him of his job and out of his dad's life. I don't think she is attracted to him, I think she is threatened by him and how much Dad loved him. I feel for the co-workers too.....I bet she makes worklife uncomfortable for them too.

OMG, when will these women with all the time and money in the world realize they are much more beautiful without all those horrible lip fillers and all the artificial garbage? Maybe if they were more interesting by actually doing something with their time instead of being so shallow,they could keep their husbands longer.

I KNOW stepmom is a CEO and all, but I wonder how much business sense she has for wanting to fire the top salesperson (her stepson) in the company. Hey, Ms CEO, salespeople tend to NOT be in the office because they are (drum roll) out SELLING product. Or do you just want your stepson to be your lap dog and available at your whim? She may have the title but I'll bet her husband is doing the heavy lifting of running the company. He even mentioned his son could run the company. I feel sorry for the employees she has that aren't out there selling product. I hope he secretly has put in the will that his son inherits the business.
