The Real Housewives of New York City

[livjack]

I just watched the finale again, and was struck by the open coffin-like make-up Alex had slapped on her face for the interviews. The blush, e gad. She looked positively horrendous--which nicely offset her self-congratulatory commentary. I also noticed that when the "evaluator" asked Frahnswaaa to say the alphabet and was given a blank look, Alex coyly whispered in the poor kid's ear: "frontwards or backwards?" as if! From birth they've taught him, eh??

What a delusional world this woman lives in!

No livjack, knowing the alphabet backwards is very forward thinking. Anticpating DUIs and the officer's request to do the alphabet backwards is like: " " common knowlege. Duh! (my extra features still don't work; I've been naughty)

I throughly enjoyed this series, my first with the "housewives". But, why so short? I just barely got everyone's names straight.

As for the "housewives":

Ramona - Forever 21 clothes make her look like an aging hooker. She really needs to just save it for Mario. I'd love to send her a musical ecard that plays "For Your Eyes Only".

Alex & Simon - How can I not put them together. Vacuous dolts. Francois looks anemic. I wonder if Alex & Simon can say "anemic" in French, Italian, German, Latin....

LuAnn - Opps! Mrs. Delyspes. My bad. I found her to be clueless, self-impressed, and condescending. I don't feel one bit guilty for tying that, either

Jill - I really grew fond of her. Out of the four married women, she was the "real" one. I loved it when she said, "I've been a bad girl...I can't help it!".

Betheny - She was my favorite. She's funnier than anyone one I ever saw on Last Comic Standing. I hope everything works out for her.

Looking forward to the Jersey Girls!

After watching the Season Finale, I have all kinds of changed feelings for all of them. I was not liking Alex or Simon throughout the whole season. However, maybe I have been a bit too harsh. They do have their issues, but all in all I don't think they are such bad people. Franciosse, is a big pain in the butt and definitely not disiplined enough. At least they are from what I can see good parents.
Bethanny, is the one I really can't stand. She is a fast talking, trash mouthed, sharp edged knife. Oh poor me!!! Wah, Wah, Wah. What is up with her face on those close ups during the confessions. She has some serious blemish issues. If I could tell Jason one thing it would be RRRUUNN!!!
Jill: I love Jill. She maybe a NYC socialite but boy I come from the Five Towns and she is so Five Townish it's not even funny. She talks it, acts it, looks it, and walks it. Once a Five Towner always a Five Towner. Can't take that out of a person.
Luanne: she is a very pretty , classy women. However, I think she plays this countess bit a little too much. If it is true what people have previously posted about keeping a Count/Countess title by paying for it. Yuk, Yuk!! As for the Count, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. Why is he away so much? What does he do? Does he host a trashy TV show? Like his twin Jerrry Springer? You have to wonder why he is gone that much. Luanne did say she was his fourth wife. I think he a a COUNT PLAYER. I bet he has has plenty of Count Mistresses.
Ramona: There is not much to say about her except for the fact that she is So trashy, and low class. She is way over expressive when she talks that it makes her look so dumb. I actually get embarrassed for her when I watch her. The only thing she has going for her is her gorgeous husband, Mario and her sweet daughter. She is so messed up.
Now, is this show over for good or will it be back????
Does anyone know when the OC housewives will be back?

You hit the nail right on the head!!

Ramona is so low class trying to act high class and her husband is just, yuck.

Jill has definatly grown on me. She just seems to be a nice person.

If i was Alex's kid that stabbed the hamburger, my mom would have whooped my butt right then amn there. Getting him away with was like woah. And nude pictures of her surfacing? please no.

and will someone please marry Bethanny. Please. She needs it.

Finaly got to see the finale.
Everyone described the scenes so perfectly.

Do those kids eat anything but chocolate, gummy bears,cake and Alex-made ice cream?
To Francois, meat must be "the enemy", hence the stabbing.
Strange at their lack of reaction. Mortification would have been appropriate,

I think he needs PT or OT. What's with his speech?
Wasn't that card orange, not red?

He probably got stumped by the alphabet question, because he was wondering if the psychologist wanted it in French, Yugoslavian or Arabic!

Jill was obnoxious at the birthday party. She was putting Jason and Bethenny on the spot. Not nice. Not classy.

I'm an OT who works with kids and speaks French. That kid comes anywhere near my caseload and I'm fleeing to the nearest sun drenched park, or deli...he'll never find me.

He may find you, he might decide to do a deli-homicide mission!

I have had fun with the snark on these two. I have said from the beginning that I thought she was a SAHM and her website says that she did do just that from the time that Little F was born until recently. She just reminds me of someone that prefers the organic foods, worn jeans, gauze smock and birkenstocks, like a left over hippie wanna-be vs. a wardrobe/school/vacation/language name dropping bi-otch.
I do not think either one has a higher education degree, even though they seem well traveled.
I would guess that Alex's time "living abroad" included a backpack and more then several nights in a youth hostile. Not that there is anything wrong with ANY of this!!
I would rather see the REAL Alex, instead of the "Let's network at the Met" faker.
