Move over, Real Housewives.

There's a new group of gals in town who are sure to rival your wine-throwing, table-flipping drama.

Style's new series Big Rich Texas (premiering tonight at 9 p.m.) is here. But don't try calling them the new Real Housewives of Dallas...

"We're better than that," show star Bonnie Blossman exclusively tells us. How so?

"I think that we are a more dynamic mixture," says the—get this—biology professor. "We like to live out loud and I think, not only the backdrop being Dallas gives us a one up, but also just the mother daughter relationships... We have interactions between our daughters which are very genuine and real."

Needless to say, Blossman isn't a fan of Bravo's Housewives franchise.

"I've seen the Orange County a couple of times," she says. "It wasn't enough to hook me."

While we'll have to wait and see if Big Rich Texas beats out Housewives in the ratings, one thing is for sure: We're in for a wild season with Blossman and her daughter Whitney.

The first episode of the show centers around Blossman convincing her daughter to remove a tattoo on her foot that says "c--t" by offering to buy Whitney lip injections. Seriously.

"I don't see anything wrong with it," she says. "It's not permanent so if it's something I can do to give her incentive to do something like get that horrible tattoo removed, I'll do [it]."
