As Americans with all of our rights and liberties, we are still not allowed (with few exceptions) to watch other country’s TV shows. I was thrilled when we got BBC and Aljazeera news channels a few years back. Then I realized it was BBC America and Aljazeera America. Both stations appeared to be US government approved sanitized versions of international TV programming. I have discovered that I am the only person in the entire country who is angered by this form of government censorship.
So far, Bravo has not decided to air the Real Housewives of Sydney or Auckland on our stations. I have the entire Auckland series in recaps filed away if we should ever get to see it.
So I don’t know a thing about Lisa Oldfield of RHOS, but I’m guessing she is pretty funny. Because this is how she chose to announce her divorce.
Then she posted the above photo with the caption, “My new #tinder #profile#pleaseswiperight”
I feel bad I am missing this one. I think I would quite like Lisa.
I watch RHOS, they are all fucking mental! Full on headcases.
I think they think that viewers want the bitching. And boy, do they bitch!
Lisa (and Athena) are my least favourite because they are spiteful with their bitching, fat shaming and slut shaming and thinking they are hilarious.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s Lisa’s husband that filed for divorce, she treats him like dirt, constantly. IMO Lisa is a grade A wander.
When does RHOS air?
She treats her kids like dirt too. TT she appears to be a famewhore and this tweet is the direct opposite about what she’s portraying about her marriage on RHOS – all sad and saying she’s taken her husband for granted. I thought all the “marriage troubles” were nothing but a boring storyline. She’s also my least favourite along with Athena.
At least we get the Graham Norton Show. Love that one!
Other than the supposedly French captain having an English accent, I’ve often wondered why BBC America does Star Trek The Next Generation marathons. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy TNG – but I want some British shows!
Oh, I do get some Canadian TV. I always forget about it though, except during the Olympics. The coverage is better – and the commentators know when to shut the fuck up during opening ceremonies.
I really hope you get RHOS TT! It is beyond words, I can’t even begin to explain it.
Lisa and her villain BFF are absolutely crazy – or “jatz crackers”.
Oh and Lisa backpeddled on her divorce post on morning radio. She said that they were having an argument and she’s known for posting things to remain relevant.
The scenes between her and her husband are painful – I often can’t tell who is the bigger bitch. He’s definitely joining the “real house husbands” alumni.
I’ve never heard anyone use the expression ‘jatz crackers’ and no one on this show had heard it either, it made me cringe as much as a previous prime minister coming up with ‘fair shake of the sauce bottle’ . We’ve got more to offer than this kind of crap. Unfortunately, Lisa Oldfield, like Phaedra Parks, managed to coopt a mentally unstable cast member, Athena into doing her Porsha work for her, except in an even more vulgar manner, if that can be believed.I also objected to an OTT ‘wedding’ between a dog and a cat being used in support of gay marriage. Seriously?? Lisa and her husband seem to be making use of any media oxygen they can snatch. He is already feuding with Pettifleur (ex RHo Melb) on Hells Kitchen Au, so this won’t be the last of the gutted cats, dogs eating condoms type stories Lisa is constantly feeding the media.
I think ‘Jatz Crackers’ is actually rhyming slang for knackers (balls). As in, “Ooh he copped one in the jatz crackers!”
A little Australian lesson our American friends here could probably do without, but there it is.
No it means ur fkn crazy

You’re not the only one angered by the censorship. I was elated when I realized I had access to Aljazeera only to realize it wasn’t the “real deal” and only what I government wanted us to see. It’s like “what do they not want us to know?”.
Once I realized it was Aljazeera light I decided it was better than nothing. Then it mysteriously went away.
Yeah, and I also realized it went away. We could could probably pay for it thru our provider but then we’d be on a list, if we aren’t already. (There was a period of a few years that EVERY time I had a flight to ANYWHERE I was pulled aside and had my stuff rummaged through. It never seemed to matter whether I was alone or with others. And then it stopped and I haven’t had a problem since. It was really odd. Things that make ya go hmmm.)
I completely agree these chicks are mental and I think, except for Athena X who is literally crackers, are overacting what they think a housewives show should be. Lisa can be entertaining but the slut shaming was ridiculous and I think she can take it too far and it’s uncomfortable to watch. I think we will see a different side to her with a divorce. Their marriage was cringeworthy to watch and I think they really despised each other! The one thing about this show is it is bringing back a lot of words that are in danger of disappearing from the Australian vernacular. Such as ‘scrag’ a rough chick from the wrong side of the tracks. Haven’t heard that word for ages! This show is like a train wreck- but one you can’t help watching.
I’ve collected a digital dossier of bizarre media stories from Lisa Oldfield. This is the woman that called her preschool son a ‘dickhead’ on this show, and who uploaded a video of herself offering the same child ‘ a drink, a joint or a kick in the guts’ when he was having a bit of a tantrum in a public place. Athena is defnitely sad and strange, but Lisa seems to have set out (possibly in league with her husband, co founder of the racist One Nation party) to deliberately derail this show. We’ve come to the end and all we have is a season of verbal abuse. There are no storylines thanks to Lisa and Athena hijacking every episode and reducing it to a vulgar screaming match. Further, we have had Athena attempting a Teresa Giudice table flip in Singapore (Matty stopped her) and in the last episode she threw a premeditated glitter bomb at Krissy a la Aviva’s staged fake leg pull off. I was a fan of Lisa at the beginning, but I’m a bigger fan of the RH franchise and I’m really irritated that one woman has pretty much ruined Sydney AND that this has also held up filming and airing of the latest Melbourne series. Toronto has just wrapped up their first season in lockstep with Sydney. In comparison, Toronto is everything! How. Dreadful.
I am a UK fan of all the housewife programmes of every country, thank the lord for being able to watch all these shows via the internet. I have just finished watching the Sydney show and I couldn’t get over how some of them were so classless, I mean really low life trash! Is it because I am British!! Anyway we have a show in the UK The Real Housewives of Cheshire, which most of the housewives were strippers that are now married to footballers with loads of cash, if you get chance have a look but be warned you may need subtitles due to the northern accents!
I just finished Sydney and started watching Cheshire. Sydney is on the edge of a physical brawl if Athena and Lisa are not removed. Athena has mental health issues and Lisa has hormonal issues. Which means. I would give a second chance to Lisa if she gets the help she needs.
As for Cheshire, the accents are tougher and I don’t have subtitles but it is still enjoyable. I just reached the part where one wife says she used to be a belly dancer. I can’t wait to find out where this is going.
Agree about the RH of Cheshire. The first season wasn’t great, but with a slight change of cast, it’s fantastic now. Didn’t like RH of Sydney that much and apparently they will only consider bringing it back with a change of cast. You were on point about it being too exaggerated.
The only RH franchise I didn’t like at all was Auckland, unfortunately. I gave up on it because I found it boring and forced.
You are not the only one. My 16 year old son is absolutely incensed about government censorship and if I say anything about how we are fortunate our government does not control the media as they do in places like North Korea, he will immediately tell me I am wrong, they most definitely do censor here.
I loved RHOMelbourne and Cheshire. Wish we could see them
The Sydney housewives are a mix between boring and completely insane. Lisa is by far one of the biggest housewife villains of all time. I hope there is a season 2 – her antics can only get better. I hate her by the way. She’s a real Cruella type. Similar to Athena X on Toronto housewives – blatantly rude and openly vengeful.
I’ve been waiting for this divorce announcement. It was inevitable.
I meant Kara from Toronto housewives
I watch all of the HW shows and bar none Sydney HW are the most brutal and disgusting. They epitomise how money can’t buy you class. I think it’s a cultural thing. They are very masculine in their ways. It would be great to pluck Lisa, Athena X and Victoria out of that show and put them on LHH Atlanta and see them get their arses kicked because that behavior would not fly there. Lisa (who dresses like a retired school headmistress) is married to this guy who hates her but we can see why he does and can’t work out why he doesn’t take the boys and run off somewhere. Its excruciating to watch but I’m here for it ?.
I love rhos and Lisa is absolutely hilarious she copped alot of Shi t for calling her young child a dIckhed for not jumping in the pool and alot of what she says is straight out rude but my god she is naturally funny.

Please just fucking block me.
See? I knew you could follow the rule! Nice sentence!
I have stumbled upon this little gem, along with the Real Housewives of Cheshire and Vancouver. Amazon fire stick is the bomb.
I didn’t believe how much I would like the firestick, it took a lot of convincing me that it had features I would enjoy.
Now I’m watching shows from so many different countries because there is so little to watch on American television.
