I mean why didn't he just leave? But no - he stayed.

And why did BethN&E introduce the driver to Countess DeLoopydeloo anyways? Just get in the damn car. I don't introduce myself to every taxi driver I encounter. And the few limo drivers I have encountered - they could have cared LESS about me and what my name was.

I LOURVE THIS SHOW.

More, More!

Because the whole thing was a setup by Bravo of course. I mean why did Alex asked if she could bring him in the first place? Bethany clearly said she was inviting her to a girl's only dinner. I was surprised that Bethany didn't automatically tell her no, end of story. But then we wouldn't have all the drama. Love this show!

I think Bethenny is too honest for that - she is just a straight shooter, and I don't see her reconciling getting knocked up without his knowledge.

I can deal with all the "housewives" but really Alex and Simon just get to me. I'm from NYC and I call BS. I have friends who own similar brownstones in Ft. Greene and in Cobble Hill (my friends own the buildings, where I don't think it has even been established that Alex and Simon own more than an apt, but either way--). My point is, if you have two working partners making decent NYC salaries, you don't have to be "rich" to buy one. Especially if it is a craphole like Alex and Simon's. They didn't rip up that floor. They bought it like that. TRUST ME. And they don't have enough dough to even get the project started because they have AWFUL priorities.

How do I know this? Because if you bullsh*t about some things, you bullsh*t about everything! Case in point: When Simon showed the tour guide at Claremont the pics of Francois and Johann "at blah blah blah airport" (how gratuitous), he followed it with "they just finished running around on the beach in St. Barts speaking French"... Ummm.... yeeahhhh.... no. No they didn't. First of all Francois DOES NOT SPEAK FRENCH. And second of all, Johann will never even learn to speak ANY language if he continues to be COMPLETELY IGNORED.

Oh BTW, apparently only desperate losers send their kids to Claremont. Hey NY Mag said it, not me:

(this forum won't let me post a link 'cause I'm new, but Google "claremont school new york" and it is the NY Mag article titled "Snobby New York Parents Destroy New Private School")

TeeVeeTree YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thank you Thank you thank you


As you said it so well anyone with a decent income in a 2 salaries family can afford these houses , it is NY and salaries are competitive in as much as property and real estate taxes are high, as a matter of fact - I tried to enunciate the fact that the borderline area where these moronic awful looking classless social climbers live is not the best area in Brooklyn and someone felt compelled to say other ways and even imply she knew better just BECAUSE .......... oh well...as I said it before THANKS

I actually think that the printed -wild motif- on the dress , Alex's hair and Simon's tacky tuxedo gave away the fact they were NOBODIES there are things that can not be faked CLASS is one of them

BTW, why did she pay a make-up artist, yet have no one to do her hair? Plenty of people get blow-outs at their homes for these events.
And a chic little chignon would have done wonders!

Tomorrow's finale: I wonder if they'll go so far as to tell us Frahswahhhh's I.Q. If it isn't high, it will be the therapist's fault.

Wow! I didn't think that it could be spelled the way that Simon Says it but you did it!! Well done!

[Allygirl]

I truly hope it is found that Francois is dumb as a rock. That would just be great! I mean all they do is try to get him to parrot things in french. Do they even bother to make sure the kid can at least count to 10 and recite the alphabet?

[luvsginger]

You think Franz's French au pair will appear on the reunion show if there is one? That would be the best! Maybe she will sell out and appear on EXTRA! or TMZ......regarding the hair thing, did you notice that when Ramona was home getting ready for her girls night out, she had rollers in her hair. And then they showed her with them out and ready to walk out the door....only problem, the rollers did nothing! Her hair looked just as stringy and brassy as it did prior to rolling it.

You have voiced something here that I suspected the moment I read the post to which I think you refer. (Is it the one comparing Alex favorably to Nicole Kidman in the "looks" department?) The moment I read that post, I smelled STALKER in animal prints, or at the very least, bad yellow silk bow tie with matching cummerbund.
