Original "Housewives" Face Economic Hardship

Bravo's hit reality show "The Real Housewives of Orange County" is making a fierce comeback in their fifth season tonight, Nov. 5 on Bravo!

Even for the lavish ladies of Orange County, the tough economic times are causing some problems.

According to CNN.com, one housewife could lose her home, one housewife may have to send her son to jail and is contemplating divorcing her husband and another housewife is finding love in a man who can't seem to commit. In addition, one housewife will leave the show because of her financial instability.

Facing difficult economic times should provide some interesting trials and tribulations for the housewives, a show that is based on a group of women with luxurious, prosperous lives.

The stress became too much for housewife Jeana Keough, 54, a former Playboy playmate. After the episode airing Nov. 19, she leaves to try to pursue success without the cameras following her every move.
