I am surprised there aren't more reviews about the interaction and tone on realitytea than just a few since I know people have been blocked for various reasons. People probably don't care enough to leave a review like I am doing since it's an entertainment site.
The commenters on there can make the site fun if you are of a somewhat like mind and have mutual respect. A lot of them do go overboard however and really seem to take reality TV personal. God forbid, you don't like someone like Lisa Vanderpump or don't hate Brandi Glainville because you may get barraged with comments as if it's a town flogging.

What I do not like about this site is what some of the bloggers call snark. If they don't like a person it is as if they can not get help themselves but use their blog to do a borderline hate campaign instead of recapping a show's episode. Mary is one of the main bloggers there and is very talented. However, she has a bad habit of using her blog as some sort of personal vendetta instead of begin able to recap an episode without all the vitriol. The people there like to call it snark but it's just mean spirited behavior. Some of the hated ones for the blogger Mary are Kenya Moore, Brandi Glainville, Bethenny Frankel, and Erika Jayne. You would think Brandi killed someone with the level of hate that is on the site. It's like okay, you hate the woman. Is it that serious? You will read people say they love to read the recaps but don't watch the show. Well most of it isn't recaps but "snark" which is based on the blogger's own issues with people depending on the day. It seems that some of the more independent commenters are overwhelmed by those who worship on cast member or they intensely hate someone. There really isn't much balance on the website in commenters and I think there is a reason why that is so. Snark isn't mean spirited vitriol about people that is relentless and endless. I question some of the people who blog for this site for years as having some talent but being a bit off themselves. It's not normal to have the ability to write hateful things about people and not question why you are attracted to that form of negativity in your life year after year. The kind of negativity where you are putting people down constantly and feeding into hateful and mean reactions. However, condemning the ones that try to be more thoughtful in their comments. I would not tell anyone to say away just be aware that snark is a code of mean spiritless despite what some try to classify it.
