THIS week’s episode of Gogglebox sees the households settle in to watch one of the most shocking reality TV moments of the year so far — and nobody can quite believe what they’re seeing.
Last Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Sydney finished with a scene at Housewife Athena’s art gallery exhibition that quickly turned into an explosive public fight, Athena herself feuding with her fellow cast members in front of horrified onlookers.
Hoping to impress the crowd of influential art lovers, Athena instead finds herself screaming expletives, telling the other Housewives to “F**K OFF” because the gallery is “ATHENA X TURF.”
Watching from the comfort of their sofas, the Goggleboxers are agog.
“She’s gonna pop a cap in someone’s arse,” says Yvie.
“It escalates so quickly with these women,” says Zina.
Lee can’t understand for the life of her why the other Housewives are even sticking around.
“Why are they still standing there? I would’ve said, ‘Shove your paintings up your arse!’”
The gallery event turns from bad to worse when arguably the most controversial Real Housewife, Lisa Oldfield, arrives late — and after having quite a few pre-drinks, it would seem.
“She’s had a few, she’s arrived drunk,” says Dalton mum Kate as we see Lisa saunter into the gallery.
“Drunkity drunk drunk,” agrees Isabelle, the youngest of the Silbery clan.
Their suspicions seem to be confirmed when, before too long, Lisa has an outburst of her own: She turns on Krissy, the group’s resident flirt, loudly declaring that she’s “always talking about the big c**ks you’ve sucked, the small c**ks you’ve sucked, how you like a bit of anal.”
“What happened from looking at the paintings to penises? Did we miss something?” asks Lee from her plastic-coloured couch.
On screen, Lisa reels off all the names she can think of to describe Krissy: “Bitch, slut, whore, moll..”
“You forgot gutter slut!” chimes in Faye from home.
The Goggleboxers agree that the scene is “so bloody juicy” but that surely “someone’s gonna get glassed” before too long.
The Housewives’ behaviour was too much for even Anastasia and Faye, the most outspoken Gogglebox household.
“Aren’t they embarrassed that everyone’s looking at them?” asks Anastasia.
“I’m embarrassed just sitting here in the lounge room,” says Faye.
Let’s leave the last word to sniffy art critic Di, who gives an extremely Di verdict on the whole sorry scene:
“To be perfectly honest I’ve never witnessed anything like this at an art gallery or anywhere else in my life for that matter!”
Gogglebox Australia season 5 premieres first on Foxtel’s The Lifestyle Channel on Wednesdays at 7:30pm, followed by broadcast on Network TEN on Thursday at 8:30pm.
