Tim’s take
He mostly uses it as shorthand for staged wealth that people watch anyway, whether he's calling the format scripted 18:32, treating it as "real estate porn" for gawking at money you'll never have 23:21, or noting the cast are mostly frauds and grifters riding cheap credit 31:52. He returns to a darker thread too, citing a cast member's suicide over faking riches 5:30 and joking about wanting the housewives to die during a pandemic 22:21. There's no single argument, just a recurring example of unserious hypocrisy and manufactured aspiration 50:43 51:01.
