The Real House Wives of NYC season 2, Big Apple fun!

post #1 of 133
Thread Starter 
OK, I know who you are- you watch this Real Housewives show like I do.
We have LOL thru Atlanta and OC, so were are back in the Big Apple. This season looks like it will sizzle.

Looks like we have a new girl too! Meooowwww ladies!

Cannot wait until tomorrow to hear everyone talk!

This cast is, by far, my favorite! I am so glad they're back.

The Brooklyn? couple (Francois' parents whose names escape me) are the BEST. Dude, you can't make that stuff up. Life is stranger than fiction.

Jill is bitchy, but I like her straightfowardness. Bethany is hysterical. The Countess is so completely over the top. The other blonde with the crazy eyes...oh my word--total drama all the time.

Oh my heavens....it's so rich with pleasure! :

Of course! Simon and Alex. Dood. They scare me a lot.

I read that Ramona is 49, she looks pretty good for her age if thats true.

They are a bunch of looooooons. "The Countess doesnt drink beer out of a bottle" she says of herself in the third person.
And I dont see how anyone could be jealous of Alex. They sure think highly of themselves.

The new housewife seems nice enough and very rich and *fabulous* but I dont know if she will provide enough drama.

They're such obvious social climbers. I find them so amusing. I don't know if any of you watch or have watched a BBC comedy show called Keeping Up Appearances. The lead character on that show is named Hycanith Bucket but she pronounces it bouquet. She's always trying to mingle with the rich. Alex and Simon remind me of her. Simon is especially a hoot. There's just something very odd about him.

I like Jill. She's what I imagine a NY businesswoman to be like. She speaks her mind but not in a bad way.

Love Bethany. She also speaks her mind and I like that. Her comments during the interview portion of each episode are the best.

The Countess is a beautiful woman but so in love with her title. Honey..you weren't born a Countess. Get over yourself.

Ramona is fun. Her DH is cute.

This cast is so much more fun. Alex and Simon are the Van kamptons. They amuse me to no end. I love Romana- in a good cat fight, she could take Vicky from OC down in a heartbeat! I have now decided!

Enough already with the SHOAHP Ping (as Simon says on the show) and dropping 8K on clothing. Last season on vacation they dropped almost 6 figures as they said. I would be curious to see what kind of debt those two are carrying. I wonder why this year, they went to the Hamptons since last year it was more about working than vacation. Lets see if they go to the opening night at the opera and maybe get photographed again this year....

Did anyone see NEw York zine or the post when that came out?

I think either Jill or Bethany from the NY housewives or Nene from the Atlanta housewives could take down Vicky and Tamra from the OC housewives. Might be fun to watch if Bravo ever did a combined show of the various housewives.

I am also partial to the NY ladies-I have to be! I like the new housewife-she's cool-although that may change. I was giggling when they showed the contrast between the ladies that own places in the Hamptons, and Alex and Simon's rustic *rental.*

It's so New York. So many live like paupers (I did it!,) never have anyone over to see their crappy apartments but you can still find a way to rub elbows with the big players.

yeah, their rental wasn't that great but their house? The house they own in Brooklyn is easily 1.5 mill I'd guess. It's huge and even though it needs a lot of work it's a freaking house in the city. They totally crack me up though, I really like them. Bethenney's impersonations of everyone in the interviews kills me!! Ramona is a whackadoo, really she's a bit crazy and not in a fun way, in a creepy way.

Can I just say too, no offense to folks, but why is it that SO many of these rich housewives looks sooooo trashy all the time? Their clothes look cheap and their hair, make up, accessories etc. They all look fake or just gimicky. I realize that they're not, that they're expensive things but they look ugly and cheap to me and I don't understand that. If I was that rich and was into showing it off I think I'd want stuff that looked good. I dunno, I've never been rich enough to worry about that though.

I think the Countess (snicker) does a good job of not looking cheap-she works really hard at that WASPY/horsey/preppy thing. Minimal makeup. Low maintenance hair (at least her hair doesn't look like a rat's been sucking on it .) I like her look. And I like the new housewife's look-although when filming last week's episode she must have just had a chemical peel because she was all blotchy. Jill killed me with all of her matchy matchy accessories. Fabric fabric fabric!

Romana is looking better this season than last. At least so far.

Bethanny always looks good. So does LuAnn. But its painfully obvious she is all about herself all the time. I thought that ettiquette lunch was a bit much. If my dd had to go to that I would have been a bit PO myself since these girls all thought they were just there to have lunch and a good time, not be smirked at for asking a question or see their friend get put down my her mother.

agreed. i felt so bad for that girl who asked about cutting the chicken. i thought it was a fair question (at least she was playing along) and luann just laughed at her. so mean!

ramona's got issues, but i gotta agree with her when it comes to alex and simon. they make my flesh crawl too. they are fake and i don't have room in my life for those types of people either. way to go ramona! i think luann is fake too. the verdict's still out on the new girl. as for jill, ramona and bethanny, what you see is what you get.

I agree with Ramona about boarding school but she didn't need to go on and on about it. She doesn't know when to zip it. I don't think she means ill but she gets carried away sometimes. I TOTALLY agree with her about Alex and Simon. I was grossed out watching Simon get a massage from the rental lady. Ewwwwww!!

LuAnn ruined a perfectly nice outing for her daughter by bringing up all those etiquette questions. C'mon talk about being a party pooper. Give those girls a break. They didn't come there to be lectured. LuAnn is all about herself.

Thoughts on last nights ep, anyone???
I wanna know what everyone thought of this LuAnn, Ramona & LuAnn bethenny deal. I thought LuAnn was very rude to Bethenny with the retouching remark.
