Real Housewives of NYC - Season 2

Benzgirl · #1 01-03-2009, 08:40 PM

Looks like Jill Zarin saw through Alex and Simon:

"She also is feuding with "that other one" [former model Alex McCord], whose husband Simon semi-snottily remarked how very obviously Long Islandish or Brooklynish or not classyish certain of these sweet ladies are.
"I do not speak to those two.

First of all, he drinks too much. And is very insulting. And they are not invited to my July Fourth party in the Hamptons, which is very big and which is my fifth annual and which everybody wants to come to. She and I will keep doing the show, of course, but I will have nothing to do with her otherwise." "

They are also returning with a sixth housewife: Kelly Bensimon.

"Designer, model, author and fashion editor Kelly Bensimon is a staple on the Manhattan social scene. A columnist for Hamptons Magazine, she is also editor at large for Hamptons, Gotham, and LA Confidential magazines. In addition to her magazine work, Bensimon has written three books on fashion, and also created her own jewelry line that is currently sold in top Manhattan boutiques. She splits her time with her two daughters between New York City and East Hampton. "

I didn't watch the first season but I'm thinking I kinda want to now and then tune in to the new season. The OC women are irritating me lately especially Tamra and Icky.

After another year of the OC and a season of Hotlanta, I need my dose of NYC. I'm tired of looking at the way the the OC ladies dress and their road to anorexia.

Did anyone see the new RHONYC season???????

I hope I wasn't the only one!

Was Bethenny THAT skinny before? Seeing her in a bathing suit was painful, you could see every rib, and it looked like she had a hole in her chest because she was so rail thin! I didn't know if she mentioned it at all before, but you could tell she definitely has implants.

I'm sooo over Alex and Simon. Has she never heard of a hairbrush? Seriously.

I haven't watched it yet but I am curious. I killed some brain cells from watching the ladies (and I use the term loosely) of O.C.

I'm trying to figure out who the ladies are, what their stories are and what drama I missed in the first season. Also, what is with the lady with the creepy husband?

Benzgirl · #6 02-23-2009, 09:00 PM

Lady with Creepy Hubby are Simon and Alex. They thrive on moving up the social ladder and making "connections". He hasn't come out of the closet yet (or maybe the door swings both ways?).

Does this just start tonight or have I missed episodes? I haven't watched OC so I'm not sure what the timing of the new season is.

epchick · #8 02-24-2009, 04:13 PM

The first episode of Season 2 started last Tuesday. So the 2nd episode will be airing tonight. You can probably catch last week's episode tonight as well. That episode was mainly about Jill's party @ the Hamptons and introducing the new Housewife (Kelly BenSimon or something like that).

Huh. I just realized that I have been pronouncing LuAnn's last name completely wrong. LOL!

I'm laughing that she blew her gasket b/c of the noise level. Also, she is so attached to that title, it's comical. I don't know why but I kinda like her.

phisiglindsey · #10 02-25-2009, 01:24 AM

LuAnn is so set on people acknowledging the fact that she is a countess. She comes off way too arrogant. She made people shut up at that benefit, yet she continued to run her mouth. She's definitely not my favorite housewife!

DreamfulSpirit · #11 02-25-2009, 04:23 AM

OMG, I hate how Luann refers to herself in 3rd person emphasizing her "countess" title. To me, its not all that impressive.

I watched this show for the first time last night. That "countess" thing irked me.

I laughed at the "countess" ceremony thingie and the dog birthday party with the peeing lizard.

I missed the first episode but caught last night's episode. New girl Kelly is sort of lame. Overall, I'm just happy to have this show back...I like most of these women so much more than the OC women.

srmom · #14 02-25-2009, 11:40 AM

I love Bethany! She is so real and can poke fun at herself. I also love Jill and her mom, they remind me so much of my own mom - always into everyone's business, always meddling, but with love and good intentions (even though it can drive you nuts!!).

Benzgirl · #15 02-25-2009, 10:14 PM

Betheny and the wig was hysterical. Also, her "dis-countess" comment was a killer.

How many people want to see the picture of Ramona in Cosmo from 15 years ago? *raises hand* I'm sure I saw it back then, because I never missed an issue.

By the way, if anyone is interested in buying Jill's "Cher wants her outfit back" pants suit, it's for sale. Jill is selling her clothes on eBay now.

I haven't seen enough of Kelly to form an opinion. I do like that they are giving a different perspective on NYC society.

Alex and Simon. 'nuff said.
