Real Housewives of NYC - Season 2

[Benzgirl]

This is another Jill-updo that I just can't stomach.

[BetteDavisEyes]

I'm liking Alex more and more but wow. I just can't stand Sonja. She's irritating with her hierarchy of friends. What an idiot.

Kelly is still an airhead but she makes me laugh with some of her "Kellyisms". LOL!

Also, EWWWWW to the preview shot of Sonja's ass. That was just wrong!

I'm gonna go back and watch this episode. I missed it tonight. But I absolutely LOVE Sonja. She is just playful ( ... just in a very naughty way). But, I can't seem to stomach Alex at all. Everytime they show her and Simon, I start fast-forwarding to the next scene. Simon is so corny to me, and so is Alex. They're just very, VERY strange. Ramona is trying a little harder this season, I think, as well as Jill. LuAnn is trying to be more of a peacemaker, I think, but she can still be slightly catty. (Although, I was horrified at the way that D.C. house wife ripped her apart on Watch What Happens LIVE. I don't think The Countess deserved that beating at ALL!) Kelly, ... I don't know, ... I could take her or leave her. But this NEW chick, ... What's her name? Cindy, is it? Who always looks like she's wearing a very bad wig? The one who had the chipped veneer and wouldn't go to lunch with Sonya? Yeah, that one? I'm still trying to figure her out. To be honest, I think they just STUCK somebody in the cast, because they couldn't find anybody else. She's not exactly boring, but I'm still trying to read her. It was wrong for her to go to Kelly and try to "warn" her about Sonja getting her together with Ramona. These women have known each other long enough to know how to handle each other. She should've stayed out of it. So, she lost cool points. And, no, I'm with Jill, ... I don't think she had those two babies through traditional birthing practices.

I'm going to disagree with you, here.
I have always thought Simon was annoying but do like Alex.
I don't think that Jill has changed at all. She still lies and starts bawling when someone calls her out.
I don't think Luann is trying to be the peacemaker and I am glad Cat dressed her down.
Ramona is still the same person that she always has been. She will be honest when you ask it (and many women don't want you to be honest), she doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, and she will confront you when she feels it is necessary.
Cindy is an absolute quack.

Anybody else watch last night's episode? It was interesting, but not nearly as interesting as Bravo! played it up to be ... Morocco seems to be such a beautiful place. But I laughed my a$$ off at how Alex quickly lowered her voice when Kelly said, "Shhhhh ..." WOW!! I was also surprised they had a psychic there to read them, and now Ramona has to deal with MAYBE her husband is cheating on her. Hmmmmmmmmm ...

[Benzgirl]

^^^Agree completelly on LuAnn. I find her to be vile. She has been trying to get in between Jill and everyone since the show began.

[BetteDavisEyes]

God, I hate LuAnn more and more. Watching her scenes makes me want to throw things at the TV.

Casting rumors are circling that Cindy Barshop won't be around for the next season. I'm ok with this if it is true b/c I don't think she brought anything new to the group. Frankly, if she didn't return, I wouldn't notice.

[Benzgirl]

I couldn't watch either episode of the reunion show. Seven women is just too many and when all are talking at once, causes me to hit the "off" button immediately. Cindy can go. Luann can go. Jillousy can go. Kelly can go fly a kite in Kellyland.

[DreamfulSpirit]

I cannot stand how Luann puts on this "holier than thou" act. She causes a lot of drama yet she can't stand to be a part of it either. Kelly also buys into it, and puts her on a pedistal, i.e. when she stated about how if Luann asks you to be in her music video, you do it.

I agree and I can't stand how Jill tries to act like the victim all the time when she is called out for her gossipy, petty ways. And Kelly is just a nutjob...period.

I absolutely LOVE LuAnn!!! Perhaps I'm the only one, but I really like her. I think she does the best she can to deal with such catty women, but can slip and lose her sense of "class" when she's around them. I couldn't help but laugh when she snapped at Alex, "Honey, I WROTE it ... okay? So don't tell me to read my own book. And it's not your turn to speak, by the way." LOL!! And, it was particularly interesting to watch her get very emotional as she snapped on Ramona, ... insisting that she would NEVER want anyone's marriage to end. It was a very sincere moment, I think, but because she's The Countess, she quickly controlled her tears. I thought it was remarkable.

Ramona is just plain nuts, and I don't know why people can't see that. And the other nutjob, Kelly, has found a harmless soul to spew anger at ... which is ALEX!! During the reunion show, Kelly had almost NOTHING to say until Alex spoke up, and that's when Kelly would go in for the kill. I've always thought Alex was weird, but Kelly's determination to prove that fact was, in my opinion, overdone during the reunion show.

I think Sonya is sincere in her motives, and I still don't quite know why Cindy is even on the show. But, for the record, that hair-do for the reunion was the prettiest I've seen Cindy EVER! And I honestly believe that Jill tried to change this year, but come on ... it's Jill for cryin' out loud.

Jill may be leaving RHNYC

I saw last week's reunion show and tivo'd last night's episode. My take: LuAnn doesn't want to let us "in". Not that I want in, she is the referee. I like Jill...she is a wealthy bright woman who protects her friends and I disagree. She had Ramona dead to rights several times and Ramona simpered, "let's not go there!" Honey, you're on a reality program...you go there!"

I have heard that the "only" reason she kept asking for Pinot was to promo her wine. Seriously? As a mother, who has your friends mingling at your daughter's Sweet Sixteen? My daughter's boyfriend and I gave a special dinner birthday surprise party when she was sixteen. Were there adults there? Yes. Were we away from their tables? You bet.

Simon did threaten Jill. It was implied. I don't doubt that he wants to start some sort of blog about New York society.

Alex: Number one: she wasn't genetically blessed with a face (naturally thin, yes). But now that she's found her voice I wish she would just shut up.

....not that I have any opinions.........

[rhoyaltempest]

Ummm...I'm still trying to figure out what Cindy adds to the show. Can someone enlighten me please in case I missed it? And I understand that she's a business woman but when you have to call one of your nannies to come and take your child because you can't eat and talk with them around... Multi-tasking is what mothers do including when eating out at restaurants with family members.

[ellebud]

Sorry, I love Jill. I suspect that her contract would preclude her from making certain media deals.
