MOB WIVES?! Whats Next Trap Wives?
Ah Ha! I see VH1 is trying our intelligence again, with this season of Mob Wives… I’m guessing that is supposed to quench our thirst, until Football Wives or Basketball Wives returns… (INSERT HEAVY SARCASM) I’m not sure what the code is for the mafia and mobsters, but I believe I’ve watched enough episodes of Sopranos to know. I thought, the mafia was like a secret society. The exploitation, of so many myths and ideals of wives of mobsters, basketball or football players has totally broken down their value. Every episode I see these women as average,trashy classless women. I know porn stars, who don’t exploit and degrade themselves like this.
I’m going to be honest my attention span for this show was very brief. Between the elongated introductions to familiarize you with the cast and the humdrum attitudes the plot fell flat. Until, I saw women in high end clothing and jewelry acting a plum fool. Just like Jerry Springer and Maury episodes, these women spun into physical rage. I myself have gotten into some physical altercations, but then again I’m not married to the mob.
I feel like these shows take away from the mystery and the beauty behind and an “elite” situation. Maybe that’s the reason other women tune in. Why should you feel like you are the queen of Staten Island? Here you are running around acting like something out of the projects. I actually like the shows because they show that these women are relatable. But when you are able to relate to someone, you are also capable of surpassing them even to the point of feeling superior.
Reality TV has essentially taken away the celebrity… Making people famous for nothing and breaking down people that were once looked at highly. I don’t know, I think I’m at my wits end for these type of shows. I’m tired of looking at women, seeing people who should be seen as role models, or something to aspire to be. Looking more like some hoe from around the way. Hopefully the next episode will be different but I doubt it.
