The TVI Take
Bravo reality franchise, the most-commercially-successful entry in Andy Cohen's Real Housewives portfolio. The structural commitment to letting wealthy-women's social architecture (luxury consumption, philanthropic gala work, business-and-divorce-and-friendship-dynamics) be the actual subject, without educational pretense, is the show's anthropological register.
Lower IQ reflects the deliberately non-pedagogical mission; the property is what it is.
