Bravo Announces The Real Housewives of New York City

From Latoya West, About.com GuideJanuary 14, 2008

Follow me on:

Bravo is heading to Manhattan for a spin-off  of the hit reality series The Real Housewives of Orange County. Are you ready for The Real Housewives of New York City?

According to Bravo, "The series will feature an elite and powerful set of New York socialites as they juggle their careers and home lives with busy calendars packed with charity fund-raising galas, the social whirl of the Hamptons, and interviews for elite private schools."

The five "housewives" featured on the series are high-powered career woman Alex McCord, single socialite Bethenny Frenkel, businesswoman/photographer Jill Zarin, real-life Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, and successful entrepreneur Ramona Singer.

The Real Housewives of New York City will premiere on Tuesday, March 4 at 11 pm.

Where’s the Black elite woman. I know we are scarce on the West Coast but in New York City there are a few of us. I am truly disappointed that on the House Wives of New York City there wouldn’t be a woman of color.

I only hope that the NY ladies have two brain cells to rub together, the
OC woman are a train wreck… maybe that’s why people watch?

(5) Better in Texas says:

Can’t believe this……..I doubt people desire to be like the rude people of New York. If you want a real show, come down to Texas and see the real charm and why everyone, including the New Yorkers want to move here. We are real, exciting and beautiful!

I like the O.C housewives.Will the show continue to another season? And if no,why not?

Hey Jill, I don’t know if you are reading but I can help your daughter. I can help her love herself no matter what. I am a yoga teacher on the border of Iowa and Nebraska. I think I can help her cope so much better. She will benefit a great deal from what I teach.

(8) Hillary says:

I saw the “preview show” today for this new show…it looks awful. These NY women are not intelligent, attractive, or the least bit amusing to watch. What a boring, cold life these hideous women lead. I loved the OC housewives…these others just plain suck I have no idea who would watch this.

February 4, 2008 at 5:51 am
(9) amanda says:

I agree with the number 8 person who hates the new real housewives of new york city. These women are BORING!!! and they really are just plain stupid, because all spin-offs and remakes, and sequels are never EVER better than the original! Bring back the real housewives of o.c. for another season. Cancel new york city before your ratings flop!!!

(10) Lola says:

I truly disliked all of them. There was nothing appealing about them at all. None of them seemed real. Bethany is just a reality tv whore. She was runner up on Martha’s Stewart’s Apprentice. I think what is different about this spinoff…is that they all appear to hate everyone. No one is actually friends.

February 12, 2008 at 2:29 am
(11) jen says:

Totally agree with commenters 8, 9, and 10! These women are (or at least look) old, unattractive and void of personality! Viva la O.C.!

February 14, 2008 at 11:35 am
(12) joanne says:

Have to agree with 8,9,10,11, These women are extremely annoying!! Right along with their spouses, and signficant other. The “Countess” Oh, come on you have to be kidding me. The shop togther, eat together, move like robots couple,,,,,no personalities what so ever. I would prefer watching reruns of Orange County than this.

February 21, 2008 at 3:49 pm
(13) cheryl says:

kelly, give it a rest!!! why does it always have to be about black and white. if they wanted a black representative, then maybe they should got to harlem.

February 29, 2008 at 12:30 pm
(14) annoyed in wis says:

I agree with 8,9,10,11. I love NY City but the housewives do not do NY any justice. I loved the OC housewives. The worst I previewed on NY wives the most annoying is Alex. I cannot believe she was an actress and a model. Very disappointed.

February 29, 2008 at 4:24 pm
(15) fallon says:

this is stupid… They are not real housewives..!They are richy snobs who have children and married their husbunds for money. This show should end NOW…OMG

These women make the bragging housewives of orange county seem like peasants. Their lifestyles are 1000 times more lavish.

March 10, 2008 at 5:54 pm
(27) Diana says:

At least the OC housewives had some values and morals – AND beauty. Bethany isn’t even a “house wife” for pete’s sakes. She is a reality tramp. I wonder how many times she will say she is a “natural foods chef” in THIS show like she did the other one? This show is gross. The Countess (LOL) seems like the only nice one so far!

March 11, 2008 at 12:42 pm
(28) joan says:

If you are going to have a tv show about rich housewifes please choose a group of women who have class, beauty, and brains ! These women are disgrace to middle class housewifes !

March 11, 2008 at 3:09 pm
(29) justpicky says:

The Real Housewives in Orange County much better than the show “Real Housewifes in New york , the differences is ….OC doesnt flaunt there money , where NY wives flaunt there money , home , clothing etccc ….

OC much better “A++++++”

March 11, 2008 at 10:30 pm
(30) justpicky says:

I don’t like Real Housewives of New York its not real , a few women shouldn’t be on tv , because they aren’t with the other ladies ( Bethenny and Alex. A few of them arent even close friends , distance .

OC housewives is a better show ….more of a story line than NYC …..

March 11, 2008 at 10:38 pm
(31) justme says:

bethenny and the other chic with the 2 young boys , doesn’t socialize with the other ladies……..they shouldn’t be in the story line……

I’ll stick with Orange County housewives than NYC , NYC show isn’t the best , it’s a bunch of jealous women …….who brought what , how much , etcccccc Joneses keeping up with the Joneses ……..lol

March 12, 2008 at 3:15 am
(32) coolkitten says:

This show is so Boring…I much prefer the Real Housewives of Orange County which was way more Entertaining.

March 12, 2008 at 1:24 pm
(33) mimi815 says:

I thought the OC housewives were pathetic, materialistic, and ignorant–but the NYC rich bitches win the prize in every category. Not a single one can speak a grammatically correct sentence. They married well, but are they “real”?? Give me a break!!! I feel sad for the beautiful children who will grow up to be like them — or worse. No wonder the rest of the world is disgusted with Americans!! Get out in the “real America”, Bravo, and see how “real” housewives live.

March 12, 2008 at 5:15 pm
(34) Bettyboop says:

Is rich and “me first” the only criteria for the Housewives of NY? They do nothing, but shop or are busy trying to one up someone else. Their husbands seem disinterested in them or gay. Their children seem sad, lonely, depressed and embarrassed. It’s like watching a train wreck. And as someone else said…”These are not housewives.”

March 12, 2008 at 5:22 pm
(35) Bettyboop says:

That LUANNE is something else and not in a good way. What a bore. And JILL is so petty. I do feel sorry for JILL and her daughter, because Jill’s husband is a zero and seems like he’s out to lunch and very disconnected. I hate to tell BETHENNY but that boyfriend of hers seems like he’s not interested in furthering the relationship. She better find someone else if she wants to get married. And ALEX… OMG. ALEX and her husband are so self absorbed. They have nothing to say that is interesting. RAMONA seems nice, but needs to take a chill pill. She over-reacts to everything. Bring back the Housewives of Orange County.

March 14, 2008 at 12:39 pm
(36) Samantha says:

it should be THE REAL BITCHES OF NEW YORK CITY not THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK CITY. this show sucks.

March 19, 2008 at 5:16 pm
(37) Lori says:

Are these the most self absorbed, selfish, pety, boring and just plain snobby women you’ve ever seen grace our television screens? Luanne gives no apologies for being privleged, who the heck asked her for one? She lives in a closet year round so she can spend the summer in the Hamptons? She bosses her poor maid around like the woman is trash. She’s embarrassed to hang out with Ramona (who wouldn’t be) but she hangs out with Jill a loud mouth spoiled brat married to a man who could careless about her daughter and most likely her, that’s why she hangs out with a gay guy. Alex and her husband are just plain FREAKS they’re creepy and they’re showoffs. The day my husband picked out my dress is the day buy a potato sack to embarass him. Ramona, lol, what else to say about that wannabe. She’s the only one who is entertaining because she’s so ridiculous, but her husband is nice and her daughter is a riot. I don’t mind Bethanny, I couldn’t remember where I saw her before and don’t remember if I even liked her on the MS show, I believe I did, but I do like her, but she needs to dump the chump, he’s not interested.

I miss the girls (minus Tamara) from the OC, hope they come back soon :(

March 20, 2008 at 6:09 pm
(38) a reality tv junky says:

I think all of these comments are extremely judgemental on a show that is obviously edited for television… a.k.a … entertainment… these new women are a bit pretenious and self absorbed but who isn’t from time to time… maybe these woman have an abundant amount of money in their lives that it just consumes them and defines them. yes, it’s gross but i think these women are extremely honest because and they look real and not filled w/ botox and plastic surgery fake boobies. and they are mean bitches because they don’t hide and speak their minds… they’re the woman you love to hate and i think it’s funny and gross to watch. it’s entertaining as long as you don’t take them seriously because they are full of themselves.

what bunch of self centred ugly house wife bravo could done better.

(40) cadi'sgirl says:

this is REALity tv. and while we all have opinions. let us not forget what this is,.. tv!. meant to be entertaining and so many of you are taking this way too personal. dont hate these women because of their status, attitudes or opportunities. you dont have to watch, this is your choice. are you hating what you watch or are you watching.. to hate .. if you REALly want to send notice to the producers that you are uninterested, don’t watch. there is a better way to express yourself than by putting others down. especially when all you see is a story.. i think that .. heck.. who REALly cares!

March 25, 2008 at 8:55 pm
(41) renee says:

I agree with (37), although LuAnne seems to be my favorite out of all of them. Jill just wanted her daughter to lose weight that’s why she sent her to “detox” as she kept calling it, then played it off like she was going for her “arthritis”. When the girl got home, the first thing she said was how much weight the girl lost, yeah that’s caring about her arthritis. Yes, her husband is definitely the money end of that marriage, he’s so detached. I agree that’s why the Gay Friend (not sure he’s really gay, he’s a bit over flaming-I think he plays the part to get to do things Jill’s money affords him to do) Ramona is over the top immature, her dtr is more mature than she is. Mario will surely be leaving her crazy ass for someone younger and less dramatic. He looks like a swinger from the ’70’s. Plus her eyes drive me crazy the way she opens them causing the whites to show, that’s just freaky. Alex and her freckled to hell husband are just wierd. They remind me of a brother and sister that got married instead of a real couple. They met during a dating service so that should tell you something. $ca-ching$ She snapped him up before anyone else could and then proceeded to have two children to seal the deal. I think he would take one up the wazoo if given the chance. Their constant compliments to each other is sickening! At one point after blowing five figures shopping, the man asks for a kiss. Damn right she should kiss him, he just spent MY entire year’s salary on 23 pieces of clothing! I didn’t care for her comment about never living in the suburbs again, the face she made pissed me off! Bethanny shouldn’t even be on this show, she’s not a housewife! You can tell she’s trying her hardest to get that boyfriend of hers to tie the knot, she can’t even get him to move in. She drove me insane at that charity for his sister, constantly fishing for compliments! She reminds me of a Valerie Harper knock off! I agree, she’s just a self promoter and reality whore like someone said earlier. I’d rather watch Sex and the City, at least those gals got a long and didn’t stab each other in the back as they kissed each other hello. They actually made me want the NY life.

March 27, 2008 at 8:48 am
(42) Mandy says:

For those of you criticizing us for taking this show too seriously and hating on it – I don’t think anyone is taking this show seriously and I’m sure that everyone who has left a comment understands that this show is for entertainment purposes – The reason we are complaining is because the show IS NOT ENTERTAINING. It is boring, the women are annoying and not fun to watch. Both the Orange County Women and NY Women are materialistic, self-absorbed and out-of-touch with the real world – However, Orange County is fun to watch because the women are so out there and crazy – I find it amazing that they couldn’t find more attractive and interesting people in all of NYC (BTW – that Alex chick and her husband give me the heebie jeebies).

March 28, 2008 at 12:32 pm
(43) Danny Rodriguez says:

Why is Bravo producing such a crappy show like Housewives of NY? The OC show wasn’t bad, but this is unwatchable! Yes, we all agree that these women are old hags with too much money and too much time on their hands. It’s interesting for about 5 minutes, but after that, enough is enough! I love Bravo and have been an avid watcher for years, but now I’m finding myself, and my friends, avoiding the channel for something more interesting. Come on Bravo, get with it!

March 30, 2008 at 1:15 am
(44) Bring back RW of OC says:

WHAT is the point? NOBODY enjoys RHW of NY. BRING back RHW of OC and end RHW of NY early.
RHW of NY is a flop and a miscalculated mistake of the producers!

March 30, 2008 at 6:44 pm
(45) B says:

I didnt see the first season, RHW of OC and maybe that is why I dont think this new season is that bad. I like it. I would have to agree with everyone that all of th women are very unattractive, but they are older and I think that is the message and point of this season. The only thing that really bothers me is Alex’s hair and also how hard that couple tries to fit in and be elite. I am going to keep watching it and try to find the old season of RHW of OC! INTERESTING COMMENTS.

March 31, 2008 at 6:25 pm
(46) sarah says:

Well, i think that these women needs to go live in other third world countries to really undrstand what life is about.It is not about money and how expensive your clothes cost.They are very jealous of each other and gossip about each other..They are not real friends and jill is soooo stupid when she had to sit behind romona at the show…Alex oh god help me…go move to france if you are in love with the country…get a life and bigger home because you live in a box…Bethany is very talkative she does make good statement sometimes…she needs to relax a bit…I like the countess but she is not trustworthy …she gossips a lot

April 1, 2008 at 3:55 pm
(47) Nastiestone says:

RH of NYC – Where do I start. UGLY women – Ramona has not class with that accent of hers; Alex and Simon are the biggest snobs with Johan and Francois – what American names their kids Johan and Francois – Jill, she’s just an uptight busy body; Luann – what does she do – go out with kids to bars and leaves her own kids home to be watched by a live-in maid; last but not least Bethanny – no talent, Reality show loser and now her boyfriend is going to dump her – he probably doesn’t want his entire life broadcast on TV. Do you blame him?

April 1, 2008 at 6:01 pm
(48) Diana says:

I have a comment why did Jill and Bobby pick up the dinner tap they were invited out by Alex and Simon. Simon’s comment of “should I get the check” was his way of skipping out.

April 1, 2008 at 11:17 pm
(49) Kelley says:

I totally agree with the neg comments reference this horid show. Why is it that with so much $ most of them had terrible teeth. Take some of that dough and get some dental work done and the french guy needs a new rug for his head.

April 2, 2008 at 3:51 am
(50) barbara says:

u are we to judge bt there all bunch characters luann is the most pretty classy she fits ny scene, but alex and the pretencious husband act like noveau rich acting french bunch trashy couple thats always the case if u have notjing u act more big compared luanne countress alex and the wannabe are pooriest among them the most pretencious wannabe they buy ferniture bigger house than clothes and educate there children in good school they went that earring is nt even tiffany if u lke show off be consistent. oc are show bt they work hard to conpensate there hard work . @ are jappy there fine except that damm blonde girl comment that models are damm watch the making of the model how hard frustrating kids underggo. they show off new money except count more cultured and educated

April 2, 2008 at 4:05 am

Comment to #3 and #13 Real Housewives NYC is so dumb , I am glad there are no
Black women representing!!!!!

April 5, 2008 at 12:14 pm
(53) Bob says:

It is amazing that anyone would believe this represents the social elite of NYC. How pathetic

April 6, 2008 at 12:04 am
(54) Bob says:

It would be nice to see some women of color on the show. As for the current cast, I’m annoyed with most of them. The woman and her husband who have the kids with goofy names, gimme a break. Get over yourselves. Blondie, get yourself a decent hair stylist and dentist. As for her husband, love the thong babe. Is that a metro thing or are you closeted? Either way, I find both of you irritating. I didn’t think I was going to like Jill, but she appeals the most to me. She calls it as she sees it. Ramona’s husband seems like a decent guy and the daughter has a good head on her shoulder. Ramona on the other hand, I’m indifferent about. Although LuAnn is pretty, I don’t see a whole lot of substance. The remaining cast is pretty unremarkable. I like the concept of the show, but I would have liked to see some different casting. I get a little tired of hearing people whine and boast. This is like the Real World for the 40+ crowd. Some people just don’t grow up.

April 6, 2008 at 1:20 am
(55) L says:

Yes the woman on the real house wives of NY are not attractive, but I differ from the earlier comments about its entertainment value. I find the characters funny, and Ramona’s daughter cracks me up with her comments. My favorite characters is a toss up between Luann and Jill. As far as whether to bring back the woman of the OC, I found them irritating so happy to see them go away.

April 6, 2008 at 2:59 am
(56) Chloe says:

I think one reason the previous show, housewives of the OC, was better was that the kids were older. they got into trouble and it was funny.

& the OC moms were younger looking, while the NY moms look older, and have much younger kids. The husbands are also kind of gross. Jills husband looks like he’s in the mafia, luannes husband is really old and she appears to be a golddigger (but she’s my favorite housewife), bethenny’s bf was actually kind of cute and ramonas husband is pretty good looking (and a tennis pro), but then their is alex’s husband. GROSS
i love it when jill said “they’re gonna get their a** kicked” about alex’s kids and their disgusting names

April 8, 2008 at 6:25 pm
(61) Aly says:

Ewww! First of all, what is up with Luann’s voice (I refuse to call her “Countess” because after all she only married into money and the title and she’s waaaay too snobby about it)??!! It sounds like she’s been smoking a pack or two a day for the last thirty years with that deep manly rasp, that is definitely not natural. Secondly, Alex doesn’t really bother me all that much like most of the other women think of her. Yes she’s pretentious, but ironically not snobby. Sure she likes to talk about the opera, Francois and the violin, and how she speaks like a million languages, but especially when she’s around the other women she tends to smile, listen, and act fairly normal. Bethenney is another one of the more “normal” women, just look at her apartment. But what bothers me about her is that she acts like all the other women are snobby for always wanting the attention and notariety, when she is constantly working for all the EXACT same things! And she acts like she is so normal and the rest are a bunch of crazies, but never really looks at her own dysfunctional life running away from marriages, with a boyfriend who barely even speaks, on a manhunt for a baby. I think she secretly envies all the other women’s lives because they have husbands and children. Jill is the “connector” of the group, i.e. the spotlight grabbing bitch who likes to be the center of attention through “helping” people. I don’t really have anything against Jill, she’s a pretty normal woman who just so happens to have a gagillion dollars in her bank account. But I’d be willing to bet she’d run over a few people just to be on top. Just how it was so catty of her to throw a fit after not being invited to Ramona’s stupid cooking party. Get over it! So what if you’re not invited somewhere, you’re not the most elite person in the world, not even in the top 10, or top 100, people don’t always have to think of you when planning an event, you even said yourself you and Ramona weren’t that great of friends, only “tennis” friends. And Ramona is kind of a bitch,like when she was joking about her friend being a stripper and then when her friend joked back saying that Ramona danced with her clothes off she got all uptight saying “I don’t like to joke like that it’s not nice”. Well then don’t call your friend a stipper bitch! Anyways, calm down and try not to open your eyes so widely anymore, I’m afraid they’re about to pop.

(62) val says:

Wow, I had girlfriends like this when I was in my teens maybe early 20’s. I don’t have friends like this anymore. Like most of the comments about this show, I doubt if these women like each other a lot. I see a lot of insecurity in these women. Sad, because they say money cannot buy you happiness and this is a great example. I read their interviews and most sad they wouldn’t trade their lives for anything. I think they would if given an opportunity. The Countess’ husband I’m sure has a mistress. Have a new reality show” What the Husbands are doing away from the wives? Poor Allyson, I hope she has good freinds because her mother is overbearing. She cares, but she got it from her mother. Question, are they valley girls, and do all white women act like this?

April 8, 2008 at 10:04 pm
(63) Michele says:

I totally agree w/alot of people on here, this show is lets see who’s the richest! Also with all the money they spend, you would think some of them would get there teeth fixed, and do some of them even brush there hair? the only ones who seem real are jill,her daugther. Lets see how long this last’s and Bethany, needs to find a guy with no kids and stop whinning.

This show sucks.
Bring back the housewives of Orange County.
The NYC women are stuck up snobs that virtually no one in this world can relate to. Not to mention they’re boring and the show is so boring.

These girls thought that they are the only privileged people in the world.I could buy everything I want and traveled the whole world. I have many friends with class and be with them in a room will make them look maids.Alex looks like anorexic with a horse face. She looked like Greta Van Susteren.Greta looks better. Her husband is gay. My dog house is better than their house. Jill is a sister of Kathie Griffin. The face and the voice. Very annoying. Luann looks like Mrs. Laura Bush. But Mrs. Bush got class. Luann is a gold digger who married an old man. Betthany is ugly but she’s okay. Please girls. Don’t think you are all rich. We are too but we are more beautiful. You are all ugly.

Are you kidding me? Bethenney is great. Beautiful gal who has her act together with normal problems. Alex & Simon: what a joke. Seriously? Who the hell do they think they are? They go out and buy $10,000 cheetah dresses, they spend $25,000 on shopping, and they live in section 8 condo with window units. I mean are they for real? He manages a Super 8 and she looks like a retired stripper with botox. Romona thinks she is 25. She should spend some of her money and go get her eyes straightened out. My girlfriend loves the show. These people wouldn’t be popular in my town or any other. The Countess’ wife Luanne is normal. She is the 4th wife but, who is counting. Jill is the biggest nightmare ever. Go to the gym. Spend some more moey on fat camp for your kid. Take her to the gym for crying out loud. I hope Simon and Alex’s kid doesn’t get his ass kicked in the schoolyard.

(75) Britt says:

Alex and Simon are a joke to say the least. I couldn’t believe my eyes, when I saw their home. Quit shopping for clothes, just to impress other snobs. Repair those floors! Their home LOOKED LIKE CRAP. Bethenney was right to be shocked when she entered their home. Also, Ramonna’s husband seems nice, but his wife is such a BITCH.

This show is so horrible I can’t stop watching. It’s hard to believe these snobbish idiots are for real. They give women in NYC a bad name.
What the hell is with Alex and Simon? All I can say is Ewwwww They are such fake social climbers. I shocked to see their house.
Romona is a complete loon.. Mutton dressing as lamb as my Mom used to call it.
The Countess is a snob.
Jill and Betanny are well.. ugh!

What a joke!!! These arent the real housewives of NYC!!! Who casted these women for the part?- DUMB DUMB DUMB!!!!
The show idea was great butthe characters??? Alex and her husband are beyond creepy, (love their home). Alex should spend less time buying or pretending to buy clothes and fix that floor!!!! Luanne- most likely a former stewardess from Indiana really needs to get a reality check, she is so terribly rude and so full of herself. Bethanne isnt even a housewife, just a desperate run of the mill typical single NYC girl, and the list goes on!!! I am a NYC housewife who is a mover and a shaker in this communtiy and I am appalled that these social climbing losere are representing MY TOWN!!!!!! It’s pittiful

#78 Heidi — Girl, you have me laughing hysterically with your comment about “Francois” and the blood. The boy could also use a haircut — or even a comb!

(84) Joy says:

I watched a NYC marathon last weekend, and could not believe what I was seeing. I don’t know were to start, well let start with Alex and Simon. First the house, it looks like a section 8 apartment in any city in america. Come on now, air condition units hanging out the window, no central AC, damn. Inside the house is as bad or worst then some section 8. The boys could use a hair cut,especially if there plan to get in a “Good School”. Alex the dress Simon brought was cute, but not worth 10,000 dollars. He should have went to Macy, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, or hell JC Penneys, and borught a 200 dollars dress, stopped at an up scale hair salon, and spent 300 dollars on a hair cut and dye job, and took the other 9,500 dollars, and got a couple of veneers. Oh! what the hell, go for it, and get a smile makeover. I am sure Jill has connections. A good NYC Cosmetic Dentist should be able to hook-you for about 40K. Just think that just three maybe four outfits.
Jill is cool, and Ally is pretty, but she could lose a little weight, she should try working out and watch what she eats. LuAnn is just full of her self. Ramona is a trip, sometimes I think she on drugs, by the way she acts. Bethanny wants to married so bad shes willing to marry anybody, even if there don’t want her. She wants marriage just for the sake of being married. And whats with her and the birthday party at the race track. I can believe the guy working at the race track name Joe, would allow someone in 2008 call him Black Joe. Come on now, “Black Joe” then everyone starts laughing. I said what da F**k.I don’t blame them becuase they don’t know any better, but Black Joe, you should have your A** Kicked for accepting that kind of racial slur. I am sure your birth certificate doesn’t say Black Joe, thats not your name. Brother man it’s 2008 and in case you didn’t know we have black man running for president, get with it, I don’t care how big the tip was, don’t lose your dignity at any cost.

April 22, 2008 at 10:18 pm
(85) Designer Mom says:

It is obvious that these women are not TRUE friends. I think that the Orange County housewives was much more tolerable due to the fact that we really felt the connection, be it good or bad, between the women.
Hopefully we only have to tolerate the New York cast for 1 season. I think Dallas, San Diego, Florida, or even Washington DC would provide an interesting cast.
Oddly enough, these women, who seem to be so “upper class” actually have no class.
BRAVO, please spare us anymore of these boring, ego-driven women!

Alex McCord looks a little too thin. I recommend she do something with her hair as it is not a good look on her. It seems to me that her husband either does not have a life without Alex and Alex without him.

I absoultely hated evertyhing about this season. These woman have no class, intelligence, hearts or anything. The real housewifes of OC are actually very interesting real woman and are much more involved with their family and actually trying to be positive people. All these woman care about is there “social class” what is this teaching the younger people of america? Come on bravo spare us and not have another season of them.

There are alot of things money can’t buy…and this proves it over and over again….too bad these b**** can’t buy class…tacky tacky tacky….OC women are so much more interesting. I’m suprised these women have any friends…oh wait..they probably don’t they are just being used for what someone else can get out of them….on the reunion show….Ramona…..Jill…and Bethany were the absolute most ignorant women ever….loved to see Bethany cry…you definitely should never give birth you wacko….LuAnn way to marry an old guy for money!

April 26, 2008 at 4:57 pm
(90) keri says:

I agree w/everything that’s already been said: $$$ can’t buy class; these women are SOOO affected it’s pathetic. I thought Luanne was the best of the lot until she insisted that she be addresses as “Mrs” to someone of less station in life. Ramona is pychotic. What a self-centered, boring idiot who looks like Kathy Lee Gifford and even more annoying than she. What a nice looking husband who appears to be very nice. Alex is the worst housekeeper, society wannabe and littke Francois most probably isn’t as smart as mummy and daddy think for they never mentioned what his scoring was when he was tested WHICH they would have made a big deal over had he scored highly. Bottom line is that all of these mothers’ mothering skills are horrible, esp Luanne. Children should come first in life. Sad thing is these women are to be pitied and Godless their children.
Bethany, I like you the most but you need to find a new boyfriend who is really in love w/you.

April 28, 2008 at 1:49 am
(91) Marieanne says:

I just want to add my own thoughts because I like the show, it makes me laugh, or cringe or root for one over the other. I love NYC and Long Island, so I hope the second session will show more sights. I like LuAnne the most, Ramona the least…I believe manners is the reason why. Bethany is not a housewife, so I thought she would be one by the end of the show? (I guess she did too.) Jill is loud and prying in a good way and she is generous. Alex and Simon are definitely different
P.S. Being sick with Breast Cancer and laid up in bed was how I started to watch the show. I’m glad it was on.

April 29, 2008 at 1:42 pm
(92) Suzanne says:

I love this show! The NYC one.

I now live in rural Oregon but lived in Newport Beach for many years until it bored the hell out of me so I know people like those in the Orange County series. It’s a pretty fair depiction of the women there. Not all but many compete with their designer labels and trophy wives are common. 85 IQ but a nice body and lots of cosmetic surgery. I swear I knew women who could barely smile because of it.

Most are just boring.

A lot of men marry the most beautiful women they can afford and many of the women marry the richest men they can attract.

Truthfully, the OC women weren’t even close to being part of the super rich and they weren’t at all interesting. At least to me.

I don’t know how wealthy the NYC ladies are but I do find them more entertaining then the California women.

On a scale of 10 I give Bethany a 12 for her honesty and her sense of humor even if she isn’t a housewife.

Jill gets an 9 just because she reminds me of an old OC friend and I just like her.

Ramona is an 8 because she’s so outrageous and it’s entertaining.

LuAnn gets a 6 because she hasn’t figured out yet that there is no monarchy in either France or the US. Count LuAnn my ass.

And Alex? Where do I start? She her husband Simon (who tarnishes the usually very manly persona we usually attribute to Aussie men)are just idiots.

Not meaning to be unkind, but they and their two boys all look like unbaked cookies in need of a good stylist. And Alex looks better with her clothes on then off.

April 29, 2008 at 1:49 pm
(93) Suzanne says:

I’d like to add that I love New Yorkers.

I find them polite and down to earth.

I’ve been there twice and loved it both times.

Unless you have visited that great city it’s probably not a good idea to critique it’s people. I’ve been there and love it.

It is expensive but what isn’t these days with the crooks in the White House?

My only criticism of the NY show is the fur wearing which makes me cringe. No one needs to wear any fur. At least not the kind of fur where the animal is killed just so some fool can wear the skin on her back. Not cool.

June 20, 2008 at 11:30 pm
(97) Kathy says:

I find the show entertaining & the characters real.

Jill is incredibly dumb and coarse, married to a rich husband – who inherited a business. The both of them out to dinner, with nothing interesting to say, like two dopes. Needs her friend to help set the table & is challenged when trying to figure out where everyone should sit. How stupid can a person be?

Luann tries desperately to stay in good graces with her ancient husband, although she does have a brain. Ditto her children – making sure they impress their father. The privileged little white boy entertaining with the break-dancing was hilarious. Exactly when or where will he be doing that out in the world? She sould have coached them more to at least fake enthusiasm with the Statue of Liberty trip. The old man was disappointed because the kids couldn’t care less.

The big nut is Ramona, whirling around the dance floor with her dress waist high, eyes rolling in her head. Something is obviously NOT happening in her bedroom if she needs to expose herself like that. Can she ever wear anything the appropriate length and with sleeves?

Alex & Simon are self-proclaimed social climbers – at least they admit it. Why else would someone spend $10,000 on an animal print dress & live in a dirty, run down house? Maybe Simon should call the paparazzi in advance to alert them to watch for another animal printed outfit. That way he’ll have his chance to really “fight them off” on the way to the opera. And by the way, the expression is “Hear the opera” not, ‘Let’s go see some opera.” That child needs to be disciplined or perhaps medicated, stabbing someone’s food – call in the shrink please. They were not very impressed with the french-act routine at the upper crust school either.

Dear Bethany, “Why buy the cow if the milk is free?” Got it? Less wise cracks & wise up yourself. Although, can you blame the guy for taking advantage of his drunk girlfriend providing dinner first?

Yes, these women are real all right. They have real wealthy husbands. Unfortunately they are real “pigs with pearls” devoid of innate class or style, which as we all know, can’t be bought.

I can’t wait to see more!

(99) Ehmbrosia says:

BARF! Wow this show stinks to high heaven. I love the women of the OC, everything is fake about them and the tell you so. They aren’t trying to be something they are not, they are just trying to stay young and sexy.

The New Yorkers are transparent and great big pretentious phonies. Alex and Simon are so pathetic, Bethany is lame (wasn’t she on Martha Stewart’s apprentice?), the chick with the crazy eyes thinks she is still in her 20’s and is extremenly annoying even her daughter things so.

If they want the show to succeedd they should take Jill and the Countess and just follow them. At least those two are actually interesting and classy.

I don’t plan on wasting my time watching anothere episode of this train wreck. This show sucks. I really like the OC ladies so much better! Stick to the formula that works. Noone wants to watch a show about New Yorkers except for New Yorkers. Now a show about the Real Housewives of New Jersey or Queens might be more interesting.

Well, glad to hear so many feel the same way. Alex & Simon are so phoney. They try to hard but if your going to do that,fix ur grill & do something with that brassy hair. Ah, root job wouldnt hurt either. I know we all wish we had their money but at least play the part. Alex’s apt. EWWW what a dump !!! I made 37 grand a year & my home is better !!! She just looks like something the cats dragged in. Get real characters for the show. How they carry on about each other makes my skin crawl. Did you see the way that child way behaving @ the dinner party ??? Yea, real class sweetheart. I dont believe in hitting kids but that little bugger needs his butt beat !!!! Regardless of your status that is not acceptable anywhere, Alex & SImon should be ashamed. In conclusion, stay home & clean your apt., control the kids, discipline !!! Brush ur mop, the teeth could use a brushing too. EWWWW Ugly snaggle tooth.

Jill you are funny, and “classy” don’t let “anybody’s bullying” you please!
I really like you, but please thing again in one thing. Ramona was RIGHT about Simon. As we all know.
To bring her husband was VERY RUDE, because she’s the one who’s IGNORED you, when you invited her for the “girls night”. And Ramona’s had to leave.

Bethany don’t open your hearth to someone like your two faced spineless “friends” (Alex and Simon) and you were absolutely right about them, when you were criticized they gypsy like ROTTEN house, but they paid for being in the Opera Opening Night.
Only for seeing themselves in some society page in some newspaper.
They were DRULING!!!! It was so disgusting.
Not to mention they GYPSY likes ORDINARY nightgown with leopard “design” on it, and he’s husband’s GOLD tie.

Watching this show is alot of fun. Only thing is I do not think they represent New York house wifes. I have a group opf friends, we are all from Brooklyn NY. Some of us married, some single, some of us moves to Florida, we get together every hcance we get, we all know each orther over twelve years. Some of us got money, some of us are married into money, some of us are just plain broke. We are very different, but I think we represent the tipical house wifes of NY..

I’ve never watched the show, but I just saw them on TV and every single one of these women seems skanky, self-centered and I rarely ever use the u-word, but THEY ARE SO UGLY! Was that a prerequisite of being on the show? There’s just something odd-looking about each one of them. I guess that’s not true of the “Countess” except for her immense size. Weird. I know I’m being hypocritical for even posting on this blog, but I am worried about this country in many ways, and watching shows like this is a cry for help!

(106) NYCity Girl says:

Okay, okay, like the OC wives are so classy…NOT. Isn’t the point of all the ‘Housewife” series to poke fun at the bourgeoisie no matter where they live? All the women on all those shows have fake everything, too much makeup, horrible taste in clothing and are not connected to the real world in any way…but that is precisely why we watch and what makes it amusing, it’s like going to a freak show at the carnival. Love NY, OC, and ATL…hilarious!

Jill is a yenta, Ramona is off on another planet, the Countess is a drag queen, Alex needs a blood transfusion and 1 800 DENTIST. Simon cannot leave Alex’s side for a minute, their kids need haircuts and manners, Bethanny is a lost puppy. They are considered housewives? Have any of them ever scrubbed a bathroom or gone grocery shopping. It’s high school in better shoes.

(109) glory says:

I lived in new york all my life, I love the show.I started liking Lu Ann,YES LU ANN, but now It seems to me she needs to get off her high horse and realize she is no different then all the other girls. As for the Simon and Alex, WHY DON’T YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, FIXING YOUR HOUSE AND SPEND A DAY APART FOR ONCE!!It’s not healthy spending so much time together. I think they are in this for publicity, all they are worry about is parties, if they ahere photographed, they they make the headlines, and what kind of connection they can meet. Give me a break, get a life. I think they put a show in fornt of the cameras. They are tru=ying to be something they are not. Let your wife go out with the girls for once.

I don’t care much for any of the reality shows on TV, but I found myself actually enjoying “The Housewives of New York”. I think it takes a lot of courage to show ones character flaws so clearly; I hope they will be well compensated.
The New York housewives seem much more real and are so much more interesting to me than the Orange County or Atlanta housewives.

Being mean to people isn’t class my dear. Ramona, What is up with her eyes? Maybe to much botox or is she smoking Crack between takes. Alex and her werido husband, gross. They say clothes are art but I’ve seen Hobo’s look better. All I have to say is Real Housewifes are so different than these women. The show should be called the rich housewifes of New York.

We were an interesting group with interesting relationships and situations. We were critical and maybe bitchy with-in but very protective of our clique. We still are as we’re getting Social Security. None of us would have considered talking to a camera and we could have made mega$ with info about each other!!
This”entertainment” begs the question: Why do these people allow themselves to be exploited at their worst.
Their punishment for being so shallow should be to watch all of these programs on a continuing loop.

They need to show NY real house wives who are independent, successful and able to maintain their home and family life. Not this foolish do o they have us watch. I agree that OC handle their stuff. We need to better looking females.

I do not know how Betheny kept from slapping Kelly – Kelly is a piece of work – she is the rudest person that I think I have come across in any aspect of my life – She really doesn’t deserve to be on the show – she relly doesn’t tell the truth when she repeats things – I really think she is intimidated and jealous of Betheny and to be honest I haven’t been the biggest fan of Betheny’s this year but compared to Kelly she’s wonderful.

Why is Kelly even on this show she is forever saying she is to busy to put her name on anything well it’s on the show! And she is the most stuck up bitch I have ever seen, what makes her think she is better than everyone else in the world. First of all she looks about 50 and sounds like a heavy smoker, it’s really no shock she is alone – what man could put up with that women. The show was a million times better without her on it. To me she seems like a person who needs to learn some class and manors and she is not happy with her life but acts for the outside world that she is. A sad waste of space on the show !

Kelly is such a bitch!! I applaud Bethany for lowering herself to Kelly’s level. Who in the hell does Kelly think she is? She is fake! I love Ramona as well, she is for real. Alex and Simon as boring as they maybe, are for real. As for Jill and LuAnne, geesh get real. LuAnne you are a countess by marriage only, you have to have class before you can marry class!! Jill, so pretentious..

I like Bethany, she seems most down to earth. Ramona is rude, rude, rude not only to Simon but also to Kelly, Bethany and anyone who disagrees with her. LuAnne should not be writing books on etiquette, she needs to take a few lessons herself.

U GO BETHANY! WE LOVE U! WE HATE KELLY SHE IS SO FULL OF HERSELF AND SHE HAS NO REASON TO BE.SHE MADE A FOOL OUT OF HERSELF WHEN SHE ASKED U TO MEET HER AT THE BAR. U TREATED HER LIKE A LADY AND SHE COMPLETELY MADE A FOOL OUT OF HERSELF. SHE THINKS SHE IS A SOCIALITE AND IS IS NOBODY. SHE HAS THE LAST NAME OF HER LAST HUSBAND THAT WAS FAMOUS, IF SHE DIDNT HAVE THAT NO ONE WOULD KNOW HER. AND I READ IN A MAGAZINE WHERE SHE PUNCHED HER BOYFRIEND IN THE FACE AND CHARGES WERE FILED AND SHE WAS HAULED OFF TO JAIL.

I can’t believe that Alex and Simon are going to write a book and raising children. There kids are animals. Really who would ever by a book written by two people who don’t have control of there children. They need to buy a book not write a book!!!

Alex and her husband???? Uninteresting and rude children.

I only catch the show once in awhile now because I can’t stand Kelly. She ruins it for me. She’s phony through and through.

These fur wearing idiots and their stupid charity “events” to show off make me sick. If they don’t know (or care) that unspeakable suffering and pain is paid by animals for their icky furs, I am sure they don’t consider the charities they “work” for fund torture on animals in every research lab, e.g. American Cancer society maims, blinds, and invasively mutilates and tortures Mans Best Friend and any other animal they can get their greedy hands on. And still – no cure. There won’t be one found using animals as “tools” – coldly torturing them, then watching their devastating results. Housewives of N.Y. are disgusting, selfish unaware B.s

Kelly needs to be off the show. She is a SNOB with an ATTuide. Can not stand to lisen to her WHINE. Bethanny is so much BETTER then her. Please DUMB the trouble.

I love the real housewives of oc, atlanta, and nyc. The nyc housewives are my favorite, especially since I’m from nyc. I hope they will bring in more women of color. That should add even more spice to the show.

I want to give Jill a shake…. The countess is to emerged in her self gratification to realize that she has contributed into breaking up what once was a solid friendship, or so we thought. The countess puts her self on such a high pedestal, leaving no room for error in her mind. I wouldn’t pay for her surfing lesson either!!!, nor should she expect anyone else too. My heart goes out to Bethany who deserves a better class of friend, I love her dry sense of humor and never take her to literally lighten up girls…and be less catty!!!

(139) mildred says:

Hey, Bethany… be carefull with Kelly. Kelly has esquisophrenia, she was having a manic episode, her disorderly way of talking is called berboreic speach. The dificult aspect of this condition is that this individuals somebody or something beacomes their object of obcesion and she can harm you without being aware and wanting to. As Sonya said you girls should have a mental specialist to look over her.

All the show is about Stuart Weitzman wearing Jewish American Princesses are Real Housewives of New York. As of Real Housewives of New Jersey is about Manolo Blahnik wearing Italian American Princesses star in the show!
