Why weren't Jo and Slade on this season?

Nope. They are both living in LA. Jo moved there and Slade followed to manage her "career" (term used loosely)

On one episode Vicki brought up her disgust at Jeanna allowing Slade to store some of his things in her "investment property's" garage while he leased out his home.

I knew Slade had moved, too, but I missed that it was to manage her career. He was a nice guy, decent looking and rich...how did she have him so whipped?

He was such an A$$;)

Ok, so I watched the 15 minute preview. It's still going to be on the level of rediculous, but I think there is more depth to these women than OC. One of the women does annoy me already, but there are several that look interesting (i.e. the Countess by marriage). It's refreshing to see they have normal looking bodies too.

I know they've all had "work" done, but I wonder if Vicki has ANY of her original parts.

Just the nose. I know someone replaced her brain.

I found them to be obnoxious actually. The blond that is always embarrassing her daughter irritated me the most. I don't plan on watching this show. To me, it seems like these women are trying too hard to show up their West Coast counterparts.

I didn't like Vicki at all. I won't be surprised if Jeanna and Vicki's husband hooked up. And did you all think that Vicki's assistant looked alot like her after the makeover? I was like OMG Vicki is trying to clone herself:eek:

Quinn- I thought Billy was hot. I know she was looking for a commitment (after 3 months), but the way she kept whining about it annoyed the crap out of me. She just came off as needed and desparate

I agree with you completely on Quinn and Billy. If she wants to push for a commitment that soon, she would probably have better luck if she had a guy her own age. Frankly, if someone did that to me, I would run the other way.

Most often, three months is just too soon, but I'm not sure of her version of "commitment". To some, it means dating that person exclusively at present, for others, it means something more long-term. My California cousin and I always have a debate on the terminology of dating. To her, "dating" is something exclusive, for me it can mean you are seeing one or more persons.

I have thought the same thing about Jeanna and Don (Vicki's hubby). Vicki is always ordering him around and I would be embarrassed if a spouse of mine was drunk as often as she is and behaved the way that she does.

Jo
 

Jo actually went to the University of Southern California. I'm pretty sure she was an AChiO.

Oops..
 

OK, nevermind. Wikipedia says she did go to UCI but I SWEAR she said something about going to USC in the first season! haha

So how many people are watching "The Real Housewives of New York City?"

I soo agree with BDE, they seem that they are trying to upstage the O.C. ladies. I loove the O.C. ladies waaaaay more than the NYC ladies.


My observations....

Jill: Is it really THAT important to be front row @ New York Fashion week....at least you were there. P.S. that detox center didn't seem to do the trick for Ally

Ramona: Soo she says Jill doesn't act classy....well pot meet kettle. Ramona is the TRASHIEST person i've seen on either show. Nice to be at a model show & pretty much scream out that you think models are dumb.

Alex: She's trying too hard to fit in. Please stop wearing thong bikinis on national television...you CAN'T pull it off. Give your son a nickname or else he will get teased.

LuAnn: She's ok compared to the rest...I lol'd when I saw the preview that her kids had lice.

Bethenny: Probably my fave. I like that she's kinda anti- a lot of things the other ladies want. She seems the most down to earth.

I'm getting sucked in:o

Jill: Such a whiney girl. Boo hoo, Ramona didn't invite me to her cooking thing. What's wrong with me? I've been such a good friend to her. How dare she? Boo hoo, I have to sit 2nd row at an event during fashion week. How can I ever show my face around here again:rolleyes: STFU and grow up.

Ramona: I think the only person I like is her daughter. The daughter seems to be the only sensible one on the show. Ramona also needs to STFU and grow up.

Alex: I like her. Her attachment to her husband and his attachment to her seem a little creepy. But she seems like a nice person. She does need to give the boys nicknames. Private school is just as harsh as public in terms of teasing

Luann: She's ok. Her poor maid though:eek::o

Bethany: She's ok too.

I'm hooked. I like the show much better than the OC shows. Maybe its because I can relate to them; maybe because these ladies have real money. Jill and Bobby were driving a Rolls to the airport and a Ferrari in the Hamptons. Luann and The Count have Aston Martins, and I'm sure that Brownstone cost more than a few of the OC houses put together.

I don't think we see enough of Bethany. I loved her comments to Alex about her husband

I can't stand Ramona. Her hubby and daughter are the adults in the family and she is a back-stabber. Someone needs to put duct-tape over her obnoxious mouth. I was shocked that Mario gets her daughter ready for school and drops her off. Ramona can't do it even though she doesn't show up to work until 9:30. And, she has no clue about her daughter's after-school activities. I think Ramona is pushing her daughter into acting so that she can live vicariously.

Love Luann and think her maid, Rosanna, needs a raise. I think it's cute that she refers to her husband as The Count. BTW...her daughter is gorgeous

I actually do like Jill. Even though she is whiney, she is very genuine and really cares about her friends. I've seen women throw a hissy over things smaller than the front row at Luca Luca. BTW, epchick...the detox treatment for Ally was not for weight loss. It was to help her arthritis.

Alex is so pretentious. I got news, Dorothy, you are not in Kansas anymore. I am convinced that Simon IS gay. This couple is just to strange and caught up on labels. Iagree with Jill, they are trying too hard.
