The “Real” “Housewives” of NYC
Dear Bravotv.com,
Will you please include home tours for The Real Housewives of N.Y.C.? I just did not see enough. Creepy codependent couple Alex and banana hammock wearing Simon’s townhouse in Brooklyn is obviously in need of a major renovation, Bethanny obviously spends all her money on clothes and still has a twenty-something decorated apartment, Jill’s pad has just about O.D.’d on Zarin fabrics and Luann appears to have the dream Manhattan townhouse.  Ramona’s condo is dressed the way she dresses, that’s all I’ll say about that. But I want to see more! While you’re at it, please include their Hamptons homes.
Regarding the housewives, I admit it, and a lot of my culturally uppity friends AND their significant others who usually only admit to listening to NPR and watching PBS admit it; we are totally addicted to the guilty pleasure of The Real Housewives of N.Y.C. and O.C. I’ve never seen such tacky social-climbing, talking about money, or cosmetic surgery addiction in my life. It’s delicious. How funny is it that they all think being the fourth wife of a Count is a big deal? Ladies, get a grip, it’s the social equivalent of being a distant Kennedy cousin who hasn’t committed a felony.
Anyway Bravo, please give us a tour of the homes. Preferably with each woman giving it for maximum entertainment.
Sincerely,
A Reality TV Junkie

Oh yes please! I can not STAND the one from Brooklyn as she is giving all of us a bad name. She is the farthest thing from high society I can imagine and only marginally worse than the other “housewives”. Ugh. Train wreck that I can’t help but watch.

I couldn’t agree more. If you are talking about being a part of “high society,” you are not in it. If you are talking about class, you don’t have it (ahem, Ramona).

Alex and Simon are simply repulsive. Honestly, I could have written the script on how they lived. Bottom line, a hotel manager and a part time whatever at Victoria’s Secret can’t make enough money to support the lifestyle they are craving. They both think there is nothing abnormal about how they choose to live. I want to know how the french aupair can stand it?
Did anyone grasp on to the Bethany and Jill squabble when Bethany threatened to stab out Jill’s eye with a skewer. Stupid Jill barraging Bethany with questions about the watch she is scheming out of Jason, while Jason is sitting next to her. HELLOOOOOOOO JILL—what is your problem.
LuAnne— her husband the Count never seems to be anywhere where she is? Could this be divorce Number 5 on the way. REally, this is not a marriage but more of a pension plan.
Ramona- she has a great looking husband who is afraid of her and a rather adorable daughter who knows her too well. Basically, I think she is innocent, naive, and not very bright. Her knowledge and usage of the English language is off—————” Inproper use of vocabulary to describe things. I am trying to remember one of the many incidents where Ramona did not pronounce the word correctly nor use it in its context. ” Like her wrinkes and her age, she said she did not look as “her chronoledge years” Anybody get that?
I enjoy this show though, in that I get to jump into and look at the lives of a couple of common woman in NYC—–the wannabees and there are so many of them.
They are appalling and I find that somewhat entertaining.

OH, I caught it. I thought she said “chronicle” years instead of “chronological.” Her grammar is appalling.
