Review | Secrets of Aspen

AIR DATE: SUNDAY 1/3

Who wants some postholiday cheese? In this new reality soap, six grandliving and ridiculously petty women party, chase men and gossip in chic Aspen, Colorado. Major showdown No. 1: Rich, egomaniacal Laura, new to town, steals Robin's dancing partner at a party. While the drama seems hopelessly contrived -- and most of the women come off as desperate rejects from the Real Housewives franchise -- this is still dishy and fast-paced fun. (VH1, 10 P.M.)
