Somehow I doubt BRAVO would let Padma make those kinds of comments about the stars of another BRAVO series (no matter how on-point her comments may be).

Okay that is not Padma from TC.. sorry that is actually funny and interesting and well accurate. That person has never read a Padma blog or they would know how
she "writes". She may have banged Salaman Rushdie but much like Tom Kojakaleecho their jizzm doesn't possess their talent. You just can't
swallow it.. doesn't work that way.

I estimate the Faux french couple makes about $450K a year, he makes $250K and she makes $200K. This was enough to buy the townhouse fixer upper in Brooklyn.
This is not a huge amount for NYC but it OK/ They can afford some luxiries not all. It seems they choose to spend their money on vacations abroad and clothing
and charity tickets and a good private school. This means they have nothing left to fix up the house. If they had real money they would hire someone and it
would be done in a couple of weeks. Also Ikea furniture.
They cannot compete with Jill or Ramona with their houses in the Hamptons. Those houses are worth, I dont know 15 million? They go to st barts on the off season. The pick the pricey clothes to impress. They are not rich but upper middle class trying to be rich. |

I was under the impression Jill's daughter went to a detox center to help with her RA and losing the 11 pounds was a nice bonus. Did she really send her
there to lose weight?

I just got caught up on this trainwreck.
Alex & Simon are the biggest posers ever. That mess of a house is trailer tore up, and they have some shit furniture. I have better shit than they do. They poo-poo'd the Hamptons cause they don't have a house there - cant afford it. So they go to St Barts and stay comped at a hotel his company owns. The only spend cash on stuff people can see, and are most likely in a lot of debt. and they need to wash their children. Ramona is a bitch - and likely her husband has visited every vay-jay in Suffolk County. She'll wake up one night to see that kid standing over her with a butcher knife. Liked Jill & Luann actually, even if they are a bit shallow. Bethenny was annoying, but the kind you can just tune out and walk away from. I'm going to a lovely charity event tomorrow, and I shan't act like a bitch. |

I'm so sad this show is ending tonight... the season was way too short. Love Jill and LuAnn. Bethanny, finally gained points in my book after last
week's episode. Not too fond of Ramona. Alex is meh.

It seems they choose to spend their money on vacations abroad and clothing and charity tickets and a good private school.Actually, Francois goes to a public school. I agree, they don't have to be rich or have any money/assets to live that lifestyle. They are probably making a good income but spending all of it, living paycheck to paycheck just like most of the broads on the OC version. If they had millions in the bank that house would be renovated by now. They've been there 3 years and have only done minimal work on it. You don't have to have millions to live in NYC - you just have to have a decent income to blow. |

Ramona is really insufferable. I think she's on cocaine or some other stimulant.
LuAnn did not impress me counseling the woman looking to get back into the workforce. I thought her Condi Rice remark was inappropriate. And she obviously had not been at the Center before...so how can it be one of her favorite causes? Bethenny is funny, but still out to lunch about her "fiance". He's just not that into her. Jill is great....can't find much fault with her. Kansas-France and her husband need some guidance with child rearing..they have good intentions, but bad results. The children do need limits. Can't wait for the reunion when Ramona walks out! Yeah! |

Real Housewives of New York City Season Two??
After tonights finale, I was curious about a second season and I stumbled upon The Futon Critic.com and found out it is: "renewed through the 2008-09 season (the show's second) on 4/15/08" Source Oh hell yeah! Fuck the OC Whores. |

hair and creepy smile? Ick! I can't get over how they just sat back and watched their precious "Frank"(

got away from me tee-hee" excuses after blurting out shallow & unfelt "sorry, sorry"'s the minute you blow through the door. Oh, and
botox also apparently turns one slightly deaf, which must be why she's constantly so effin' LOUD.
LuAnn did not impress me counseling the woman looking to get back into the workforce. I thought her Condi Rice remark was inappropriate.I figured it was like the other cause she was shown helping, Habitat for Humanity. I doubt she has ever put up drywall in New Orleans but that doesn't mean she doesn't have strong feelings for it as a cause for good. I'm not a fan of Condi, but I didn't see the remark as inappropriate. There aren't very many famous conservative-dressing women that one can use as an example that will also be instantly recognizable. Martha Stewart really doesn't work because while, yes, she dresses nicely and she even dresses conservatively, she doesn't do the "power business suit" look. And for an interview for an office job, you want to go for a very conservative, very business-like look. So LuAnn was just using Condi as a visual example of the look one should go for, not saying she agrees with anything Condi says/does nor was she mentioning Condi because she's black; she just has the right look. At least, that was my impression. Jill is great....can't find much fault with her. Jill just needs to realize that Remora is a lost cause and user. Remora has never done anything nice for anyone that didn't also directly benefit
Remora. That's not friendship, that's bottom feeding. Remora's also crass and tactless. Which is worse than classless. Because
"classless" just means you're ignorant and don't know any better while being crass or tactless means at some level you realize you're
stomping all over someone's feelings but you just don't give a shit. It means you lack the ability to feel basic human sympathy for a fellow person.
You can, hopefully, teach etiquette to someone who lacks class but you can't teach sympathy to someone who's crass. And, oddly, Remora feels a lot of
pride in her crassness. Thus: lost cause.
Bethenny is funny, but still out to lunch about her "fiance". He's just not that into her.I think he actually spoke more than three words this episode! I'm in shock! Oh. Oh, wait. "We'll talk about it later" was more than three words too. So, guess tonight wasn't as earth shattering as I thought. Kansas-France and her husband need some guidance with child rearing..they have good intentions, but bad results.Every time we have a close up of Fran-swah, I always get the same impression: that poor kid doesn't get enough sleep. Lord but his eyes are puffy; he has circles under his eyes. He looks sick or anemic or like he doesn't get enough sleep. I really shouldn't comment about the kids being completely out of control. But that's exactly the impression I got. I've never had kids so I
don't know how normal it might be for a four year old to act like Fran***** did. But I've definitely seen better behaved children, including a set of
three kids all under the age of five who were being raised by a single parent. Mom pointed at a couch, told them to sit and they did, quietly, for at least an
hour while a group of us adults were gabbing and not paying any attention to them. I was astounded and still am even now, years later.
Hopefully, Alex and Simon have decided to stop at having two because, as one of my friends would say, you shouldn't have more kids than there are adults
to chase after them since neither Alex nor Simon bother chasing after (or otherwise attempting to control) the kids they already have. Oh my.. imagine what
terrors they're going to be in just a few years..

Who brings kids that young to a "fancy" dinner party anyway? Ramona might be an insufferable twat (actually, she is), but I can't stand parents
who don't have clear boundaries where their kids are involved. Frankie's too old for that loud shit to be the least bit cute, but I know at that age I
would've caught a belt putting my hands in the food of an adult guest.

The Real Housewives NEW YORK edition…
Wow. I am totally addicted to BRAVO tv period. You name it, I'll watch it. Project Runway, Make Me a Supermodel, Top Chef, Top Design, Real Housewives, Millionaire Matchmaker, Blow Out, Work Out, etc.
Now back to the issue at hand. I was born in Manhattan and lived there for a short time before moving out to Los Angeles. I did, however, go back to NYC for school and ended up staying there after graduating. In all the years I was in NYC, I never witnessed such moronic behavior than what they show on the Real Housewives NYC.
Seriously, here's the rundown:
Bethenny - She's a reality show media whore. She got FIRED on the Martha Stewart The Apprentice show. Now she's peddling herself on Bravo. I did read in the NY Post last week that she actually ended up getting a contract for her own show. So hopefully she will find some confidence and dump that loser boyfriend of hers and find someone that actually wants to marry her and settle down with her for keeps. The episode in which her boyfriend doesn't want to talk about moving in together was so pathetic. I mean, clearly, they are not going to get married. He shows no support towards her and is very cold. Bethenny has such low self esteem and just puts up with it. Granted, she isn't pretty and does remind me of a cocker spaniel, but hey, at least she's down to Earth!
Jill - I actually think Jill is very smart and sincere. It's just a shame that she seeks approval from people that she shouldn't really give a damn about. I mean, the cooking party episode just made her look like an immature highschool girl that was upset because she wasn't invited to hang out with the "cool crowd." Her husband seems nice, but he doesn't give a damn about his stepdaughter, Ally. By the same token, Ally, needs to grow up and face the issues at hand too. I mean, was her father super short and overweight? All the money in the world is NOT going to make her get taller and/or lose the pudgy fat appearance that she was born with from day one. I mean, granted she claims to have lost 11 pounds at the overpriced detox center. What they fail to teach children and everyone else that has a weight problem is that if you keep your mouth SHUT and refrain from stuffing your mouth with food, then you wont keep getting fatter. If Ally is this short and overweight at 14, can you really see the growing pains she is going to face when she get older? Can we all say ANOREXIA and/or BULIMIA out loud? Which reminds me, how sad was it when Jill had to ask Bobby if her daughter could go to detox and then when they had the scene in which Ally goes to thank Bobby he diverts his nervousness by mentioning how cute the little girl in the room was; by the way, who was the little girl? Was it the housekeeper with the wig's child??? Jill's gay husband Brad is an older than dirt bitchy queen. I mean, how tacky and old is he? Can we say Stanford from Sex and the City at 80?
Alex - Alex is just disgustingly gross in every sense of the word. Her entire mouth is jacked and she needs major dental work. Her hair is totally overprocessed and needs a total makeover. Her equally fugly husband whom she met on some international desperate matchmaking website reminds me of the beast from the show Beauty and the Beast. I mean, could that man be any uglier? Likewise, how pretentious are they? They live in Brokeland (oops, I mean Brooklyn). How bridge and tunnel is that? Clearly they can't run with the same circles as the other housewives. I can't believe they think they have style and class. Alex is from a farm in Kansas. I guess when you come from nothing and have your only hope of leaving Kansas is by a tornado or having to sleep with Simon, youre only left with two equally bad choices. I give it a year before Alex finds her ugly husband hitting on the au pair.
Ramona - Ramona is hilarious. I think it's great that she is one of the few working women that has her own business. I just hope their daughter Avery continues to have a normal childhood without witnessing her mom act like a hoochie too often. I mean, Ramona needs to cool it down and stop trying to be the slut of the Hamptons. And her fake blonde hair isn't looking good right now, she needs to go darker and more natural.
I loved the episode when she takes her daughter to Wilhelmina modeling agency. Clearly as cute as Avery might seem, she will never, ever be a model. So that is clearly the reason Ramona talks about her doing commercials. Who in their right mind would want to hire that little bug eyed girl? It's like she has the worst features from both of her folks. It reminds me of how Tori Spelling turned out.
LuAnn - She is so pretty, and I thought she was going to be the most down to Earth, but the whole Count/Countess naming was just too tacky. And did you all see the Count? He's got one foot in the grave. Talk about old sugar daddy. Her kids are cute and seem to be growing up normal. But give it a rest LuAnn!

OMG. what a horror!! not to be redundant but Bravo really hit rock bottom. Why didnt anyone mention the "Countess" going out with her twenty something best friend?. Whats up with that?. She must really have nothing to do, or really be running away from responsibility like a child. Her home is gross, for a count and countess (granted you dont get much in New York city) but I expect more from them. Claiming to haven given the statue of Liberty to the U.S. . Why isn't she screaming French only to her kids?. I hated the way she warmed to Alex. The suburbs yech, the teeth ewwwwwww!!!.
Did someone say "extraction"?. And that husband of hers, he makes my skin crawl. " I have been invited to a showwww", do you know the designer?, is it a good one?". If she says "I have been invited to a show, and I have been invited to girls night out". Why does he look so crushed?. Did you see his face?. Does he have friends?. Did you see his reaction to being called gay?. OMG I can go on for hours. They do not represent New York natives okay!!.
Bethany…She is an anorexic big jawed, breast enhancement, tummy tucked idiot. She has such an attitude and a drinking problem, get over yourself.
Countess get home clean up your home and hire a damn decorater.
Ramona, what can I say except You were dead on balls accurate with your scalping of simon last week. Other than that wear some clothes and please keep your big mouth shut.
Jill stop spending that mans money, I am afraid there wont be anymore. But you are my favorite, but those friends are like holes in the pocket and that suit (the gray one) you have a great body show it off and throw that suit and your gay husband out. He has no style sense.
Your daughter needs a better therapist, she is totally bent cant stand up straight and seems so insecure. She is a beautiful girl bring it out of her.
I like "Mario" the best how can he put up with his wife?. Well life is stranger than fiction.

Alex and Simon's pretensiousness finally came to light it last night's episode when Bethenny was invited over for their son's birthday. Did you see the shots of the interior of their house? I laughed so hard at Bethenny's comments about the state of A & S's house. They vacation (off-season) at St. Barth's, spend thousands in clothes, pay $10k for an opening night at the Opera, but their house, which is in Brooklyn, is in disrepair. How can they allow their kids to live in such a hazzard? This is typical of those families who try to keep up with the Jones'. Stop pretending A & S! Look in the mirror and see yourselves for who you are. As for the rest of the housewives, your comments from me are to follow.

I think it's just sad - these women are clearly no-class nobodies desperately trying to buy themselves some status. Alex and Simon are creepy social climbers, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're living on loans and credit cards. Look at their house! Betthany needs to run away from this show - she seems relatively normal and out of place among these freaks.

Is this an April Fool's joke? I've lived in Cobble Hill for over 15 years and walk the streets of our 'hood every day. This is such an inaccurate portrayal of a Cobble Hill resident, it's almost funny. But sadly the rest of the world only gets what they see on T.V. The air of entitlement these women have is suffocating.

I love the women of NYC, so much more than the fakes from the OC. I'll never watch the OC again. With their cheap cloths, cheap hair, ect…..
At least these women have lives unlike the women of OC, and they have the looks. (besides Ramona).

What a piece of trash Ramona is. She looks she belongs in a trailor park somewhere in the south, with a butt hanging out of her mouth.
She does not have on once of class in that monkey body of hers. Now her hair, I think that speaks for itself. Ewww.
All in all she always looks like she needs a bath, she's dirty looking.
I think it's funny when she talks about the other women having and doing classless things. Does she own a mirror? Does she watch the show?
Ramona if you read posts:

Take a bath, get you're teeth done. Clean up you're slutty cloths. Think before you ever speak, and go get that rats nest to a stylist.

I think that they all need help. The look on Bethenny's face when she walked into Alex's townhouse was priceless!!! Did anyone notice the beautiful Santa-Fe style futon that Bethenny was sitting on when she was playing with Francois? You couldn't pay something to write a funnier show!!! I think it's very entertaining to watch these women think that they are "royalty." I never knew the "Elite" were now reduced to living in broke down townhouses in Brooklyn!
Comment from Kimberly ~ from Boston
Time: April 12, 2008, 4:54 am
Wow! I am shocked by these comments. You all speak of having more class than these women, but yet your comments are tactless, hurtful and VERY un-classy.
Yes some of these women have problems, but how can you insult their children? These innocent, beautiful, children DID NOT have a choice on having their personal lives and struggles exposed to the country! Nor did they choose their lot in life.
Jill is a beautiful woman and so is her daughter. She has such a pretty, sweet face and smile, and absolutely gorgeous hair. She is ONLY 14 and just going through her puberty years. All girls get a little "pudgy" at puberty. Also, she suffers from a HORRIBLE disease! I'm sure Jill would give up all of her money and social status if her daughter could be cured. Juvenile Arthritis is nothing like age onset arthritis. Shame on all of you for your lack of sympathy and empathy. And, by the way Jill's husband seems like a very nice man who loves her dearly. So what if he has difficulty being demonstrative with his feelings/emotions to her daughter?
Ramona's little girl is also lovely and intelligent, and has beautiful big eyes that most people are jealous of. Ramona definitely has issues going back to her childhood, and also maybe having problems facing getting older, and possibly in her marriage, but I feel like people could comment in a more effective, HELPFUL way. What is gained by insulting someones physicality? Not a single one of us can change our DNA! AND REMEMBER : Her daughter will be reading these posts everywhere. Would you want your comments to be responsible for destroying that dear little girl?
Everyone questions why Bethany is on the show? Well for all you OC fans, don't you remember that Jo was also a single younger woman? And I again cannot believe the insults here. Bethany is a stunning. sexy, hardworking, sensitive woman! If anyone can find fault with her then you must be envious! She is also very kind, straight forward, and empathetic. She has shared with the viewers her sad childhood, and the problems it has caused her in forming relationships. My God, give her a break! I hope ALL of her dreams and goals come true!
And for the Countess? She is definitely stunning. I was surprised when she said she didn't do well in the modeling field. She presents herself usually with pristine etiquette, but I too was offended by her problems with "introductions". But, as to the comments on her children. They are both wonderful. Someone remarked on her daughters eating "style", please! All children can be gross. And break dancing is not gay. that little boy is crying out for the companionship and affections of his mother/parents. The one message that I would give to LuAnn, is to curtail all of her nights out. Her children desperately want her attention. In just a few short years, they won't want to even be around her.
Well, as far as Alec and Simon, I will just remind everyone, if you have nothing nice to say, then say NOTHING! Please think about your words before you post them, because once you hit the submit button, you cannot take it back. BE KIND!

Why should we only say nice things?
The moment these folks agreed to be on this show, they became fair game. No one held a gun to their heads. The only reason they did this show was because they believed there was something in it for them. And, well…you take the good with the bad. If you think too highly of yourself and assume the public will like you, you might be in for a real shock. If you happen to be complete dillweeds like Alex and Simon, God help you.
The almost universal dislike of Alex and Simon tells me that people don't like phonies, and they dislike unrepentant phonies even more. As far as I'm concerned, there can't be too much derision heaped on this deluded duo. Ramona isn't much better.
I'll meet you halfway and say that Jill is mostly enjoyable, and Bethanny and Luann have some redeeming value. But they, too, are open targets, and I can hardly argue with those who attack them as well.

Wow and I thought the OC Housewives were something else -these NYC gals bring it to a whole new level. It's entertainig though - even if it means dwelling in the gutter for an hour a week - I'll do it and repent later.
Although I agree with Kimberly from Boston - picking on the kids is awful! However, the adults are fair game.
Here's my take on these housewives:
Alex and Simon - Pretentious! Not to mention delusional…
Ramona - two words - High School - oh yeah one more - funny (laughing at her
By far has brought the most entertainment value - OK so
who's counting words…
Bethenny - Determined and funny (laughing with her)
Jill - Good soul
LuAnn - Watch her - she is a social detonator (and I'll call her Mrs D if she calls me Miss D)
And the men -
Simon - See above as he is one of The Housewives
Mario - Has his hands full - Husband of the Year!
Jason - Handsome and likes his privacy
Bobby - Smart! Lets Brad steal the attention (and the heat)
The Count - He sure does travel a lot
Can't wait for the final episode! Got my box of wine chilling now.

I knew that Alex and Simon where frauds during the first episode, their closet was full of wire hangers, how tacky. I like Bethenny, she seems genuine. I agree that the countess is stunning, the one with no class is definitely Ramona. At least Jill admitted that she had to marry and work her way into the social circles she is part of.

In the latest promo, "Miss" Van Kempen asks if he is invited this time, with as much sarcasm as one could muster…! What an effing asshole. No, you weren't invited to the ladies night out- you still have no clue about that. His wife, while discussing that invite, says she gave them ample time to tell her no…And yet she still pressed on ! I am glad those horrible photos have surfaced- Now that's a Society page photo op I'd love to see !
