I think the players drink a lot and are told to do so - to make the show popular.. Most are alcoholics who perform obscenely and I pity their kids for having mothers who act like drunken slobs on TV. Horrible example; encouraging their kids to be alcoholics. Most of them made their money by marrying rich (on their backs). The only ones I have any respect for is Bethany .
I was very appalled by the new one Leah; her drunken obscene behavior at Romona's Hampton home.was most disconcerting and a horrible example for her daughter; I can see why Leah's mother was upset over her relapse.
A plus for the show - getting rid of Dorinda - a full blown alcoholic "Nasty, nasty evil drunk". The show really promotes Alcoholism - really sick and part of our culture decline. But anything for money.
