Is It Any Good?

From moving to a new home and trying to date to restarting an entertainment career that was put on hold during the marriage, each of the women featured here is trying to find ways to move on from their failed high-profile relationships. They also note the challenges they're facing as they move on with their lives, including coping with feelings of betrayal to not being completely able let go of the feelings they have for their exes.

It's voyeuristic and at times almost tabloid-ish, thanks to the constant conversations about what went wrong between them and their famous exes, as well as the occasional cameo appearances by some of the men. There's some catty behavior among the women, too. But overall it offers a chance to see women who are sharing similar circumstances supporting one another in a positive way.

  • Families can talk about divorce. Do you think themes such as relationship/marital problems and divorce should be the central focus of a reality show? Is it appropriate to discuss these kinds of personal issues on TV? Why do you think these women choose to do so? Is it to generate sympathy from audiences? For fame? Or are there other reasons?
