Terolyn, not so much as plastic dummies, but hawkers for their wares.

The first season or two of the ones I've watched have been interesting, but by the third season, it seems like the "wives" buy into their own hype and lose much of what made them entertaining to me.

Plus after a few seasons, I think it's just unnatural to stay friends with people who've said really nasty things about you on national TV. There much be so much tension by now. Bethany calling Luann a "male drag queen" for all the world to see had to hurt. It was funny as hell though.

ITA Terolyn and NY. Similiar to the first Survivor with average folks and now it's all fame seekers. I wish Survivor and Housewives would stick to what made these shows popular and not keep trying to up the ante.

I actually thought Ramona was going to be a little more sane this year. I was wrong... The Countess is definitely a troublemaker, isn't she? She admits to Jill that she got a "dig" in with Bethenny at the fashion show, and then was appalled when Bethenny blew her cork. At least Bethenny admitted she lost it and shouldn't have done that, at least not there. Props to Kelly for reaching out to Bethenny. They'll never be good friends, but maybe they can be civil. Only time will tell. And she was right to blow her stack at Ramona. What's with these women and exploding in public places like they do?

I do not like Luann,she is a TROUBLEMAKER,and does not like to be called out on it.She looked like a deer caught in headlights with Alex and Simon.Romona was a riot,she is on her own roller coaster!!!And Kelly,omg the elevator does not go all the way to the top with her,lol!!!!!

My mom is like Ramona she'll blast out embarrassing stuff at her sister. They do it to each other. It's childish but often very funny lol for that reason I'm glad Ramona's on the show childish as she is she's very entertaining to me anyway though I sure wouldn't want to be her friend.

That's funny about Ramona, Shen-I know what you mean. I would never want Ramona as a friend and think she's a little whacky but she doesn't annoy me like Kelly and LuAnn do. I wish they'd do more housewivey things than constantly go to fashion shows. I know that is really what NYC is about during their filming time but that whole set up where they all have to sit together is getting old. Also what did everyone think about Jill's photoshoot with her mom and sis?

The photo shoot was kind of awkward to me,Jill's sister seemed a little jealous of Jill.(IMO)

Yes it was not entertaining, more draining. The posing by Jill on the couch reminded me of the shots we see on the Bravo page of Theresa whose on a bar counter ( i think ) posing as sexy as possible. When did housewives do that? It's not what I expect of a housewife, not that we aren't sexy and vibrant. But a simple pose sitting up with a smile and nice outfit is more the sort of family photographs taken by most families rich and poor. What is it with all the women on this show trying to become model types and also Jill's mother is now giving advice. Nice, sweet lady I'm sure but to me it's all so transparent and about making money. None of it is real.

This entire episode was a waste of time and Bravo? I want my hour back! Nothing but fighting and causing fights and relaying information to continue to cause fights. These women really act like junior high schoolers, and that Luann person is totally without class. Kudos to Alex (shocker!) for standing up to Jill and then Luann. And while I think Bethenny was a bit rude, I don't blame her for going after Luann after that "little dig." Luann is a true instigator... she stirs the pot and then sits back and watches all hell break loose, continually denying she ever did anything wrong. This is turning into one of the least enjoyable seasons of any RHW show ever.

Huk, I had a theory on Kelly reaching out to Bethanny. I think the producers made her/encouraged her to do it. Right now there are too many at war/not talking to each other, and they need SOME footage where they aren't all tearing the hair out of another Housewive OR telling of the fight hehe. As for Ramona, it almost feels like she had to up her witch side so she wouldn't be overlooked in wars. And right now I'm feeling like Bethanny, Luann & Jill all deserve each other. If any of that is friendship, I'd rather be alone. BLECH! They are ALL giving me a headache and the fun as just been sucked out of this show. To me these things are way past dramatic disagreements. It's just pure nastiness and meaness, and sorry that's just not fun to watch. They mostly give me a headache lately. Not sure I'm gonna keep watching.

You could very well be right, Lurk. It has seemed to me that Kelly is being over the top nice this year. Your theory would explain it...somebody has to be nice!

OH I forgot the one thing that I couldn't believe Ramona said...about how she thought Jill was blacklisted from Sak's for wearing clothes and returning them. OMG that was one of the snarkiest, meanest comments of all time, especially if not true. While I feel Bethanny has spewed the most nasty stuff, and Luann has instigated the most problems, that one comment may be the single worst overall in the history of the show IMHO!

Whoops we were posting at the same time Huk. Yup makes sense doesn't it? Sort of how Alex and Simon seem like the nice ones getting along w/everyone this year. Who would have ever thunk that huh? I never thought Alex was as bad as they said, but that's immaterial. But they are like Switzerland this year hehe. Even Simon doesn't seem too outragous compared to other's actions (see Ramona's comment above hehe). Seriously though...some have to be talking to do stuff for some scenes beween all the fighting, don't they? Also I think Kelly wanted to repair her reputation on/from the show, so I could see why she would go along w/it. That said, I recall her true character (or lack thereof lolol).

It's also possible that Kelly saw how she was portrayed last year and vowed to make herself look better this year.

Kelly is very controlled in regards to her actions, words etc. Not a bad thing but definitely not very entertaining. Jill, Beth, and Ramona are what makes the show tick, to me. I think Kelly reached out to Bethenney to increase her own stock in the show. I like Alex very much and hope she'll speak up more and Simon will speak up less. Simon and Mario remind me of Simon and Slade from OC. House husbands that are seeking the limelight. While Bobby and Jason are happy to be in the background like Don and Frank.

Shenanagon, you know Simon manages hotels in NY right? He may not own them, as he originally insinuted, but he does run them. Or are you just talking about him wanting to play a role in the show? That I'll def agree with. I'm not familiar with those guys you mentioned. I tried to get into the OC Housewives show several times but they just bored me big time. Though I recently read there's only one original housewife left. I wonder if they got more interesting (and if so when lol).

No I didn't know about Simon managing hotels. I was referring to their blogs etc. I like Simon actually but I do think he likes making soundbites and being on the show doesn't make him a bad guy just wish the show would showcase Alex more without Simon always there. I think Alex is very interesting and I want to see her more vocal. I'm hoping that's starting to happen.
