The scene that really caught my attention was when she & not-a-countess-anymore were in the limo. It was like clown makeup...it's called BLENDING, Kelly!

Okay, so I just heard that the count has been living in Geneva with an Ethiopian woman who's actually a Princess of the Ethiopian royal family and a descendant of Haile Selassie. So not only did the count trade up from Luann, he did it with a sista! Lawd, you know Luann is going through right now.

Who?

SCNDLS said:

Oh you watch the Housewives of NYC too? It's a trip isn't it?

Bethenny - I don't know what to say about Bethenny. She seems sad and lonely, yet is very successful in her career. I think she frightens men away because of that. Hopefully she'll find her soulmate.

Ramona - I cannot stand Ramona. That chick is a complete looney. A total "I need to feel important" basket case. She gets so much Botox, that her facial expressions are starting to shiver and she just looks crazy. She's very rude and desperate to be held in high status. Her eyes freak me out. I have a feeling she has some kind of thyroid disease due to how wide open and surprised her eyes always appears, and she bats her eyes constantly. I could be wrong, but something isn't right with her eyes.

Jill - Extremely insecure and has a desperate need to have status.

The Countess - Lawd that woman is so stuck on her title as a "Countess" that kt seems it's stuck up her ass. She makes sure she reminds everyone that walks her way that she is a Countess. She doesn't realizes that....no one cares.. She also has a desperate need to feel important. I don't envy any of those women.

Alex and Simon - Alex is the most down-to-earth out of all of them, although her and her husband love to be noticed and desire to be around people with well-known individuals. But at least Alex does not appear insecure. She seems to be the happiest and strongest out of all the other women, and very relaxed. I give her kudos for having to deal with Jill, Ramona and The Countess.

Kelly - Seems to rather be by herself and not deal with the BS from the other ladies. She's cool so far.

HOW DID THE COUNTESS LOSE HER TITLE

please, in detail.

I'm on Bethenny's train but you can tell a lot of her sarcasm, etc. is defense mechanism. And I'm over the goddamn skinny girl shirts, we get it, you are pushing your product. The TEAM JILL / TRUE FAITH / I'M WRITING A BOOK shit is getting old, why not just flash COKE across the screen.

SCNDLS said:

No way! Are you serious?? The way she brags about her title. Lawd, have mercy I am shocked. Now her husband is messing around? Interesting.

Oh yeah. They have the Housewives of New Jersey coming out in May. Saw a half-hour presentation. Looks like it's a family situtation. I think they are mostly an Italian family where 2 siblings married brothers (no, I don't mean "brothas" ) and they own a venue, that hold weddings and other events. That show looks like it's going to be a bit crazy and more interesting than all the other housewives shows.

sinisterpentatonic said:

yep!

2elijah said:

hmmm, i'm curious to watch that one. i read an article about it in a magazine. i'm addicted to all the versions of the show. love them all!

kimrachell said:

I have to admit, that I actually watch all of them too, even though I watch very, little television. The NJ one will be interesting.

2elijah said:

The Jersey one looks like it'll be pretty interesting, especially with the family thing going on in more ways than one. Sad to say, but I watch these shows almost religiously. And I like Bethanny too with her tightly wound tail, I get her. And she's damned right to have a problem with Kelly. To blatantly flirt with and try to seduce another woman's man right in front her face then at every event there after, pretend you don't even know the woman would piss most women off enough to snatch Kelly baldheaded.

The Orange County ladies were a disappoint this time around. The class difference between New York and Orange County really stood out.

morningsong said:

True, I find that the NY show focuses more on these ladies competing for status and seeking some type of "importance" and "attention" in their lives, due to their financial status. The sad thing about both these shows, is that all these women seem so desperate for attention, status and the need to "stay young". Some of them overdo the botox and plastic surgery. They seem very insecure and have a great need to "outdo" one another. It's pathetic. I guess I watch it because it amazes me that no matter how much money and materialistic items one has, they often never seem to find true happiness. Just watching how immature these women are, and how they compete for attention and status is quite hilarious and sad at the same time, and although I am not on their financial level, I feel like my life is much happier than theirs. It seems some people just don't get it that love and happiness cannot always come through materialism and status, like some folks actually believe.

I think with the NJ show, there will definitely be a lot of "cat-fighting" and "bullying" and "tackiness" in this particular one, just based on the half-hour presentation they showed. It seems just because of all that alone, it will top all the other housewives shows.

2elijah said:

Yeah, they're officially getting divorced. Hot.mess. But her book "Class with the Countess" just came out.

morningsong said:

Uh, that's Bethenny's side of the story. And her insecurities lead me to believe she would blow anything involving her man outta proportion. Kelly's ex is himself a legendary photog bigger than this dude Bethenny was dating. The fact that Kelly repeatedly said she had no idea who B was makes me think that IF she did flirt with dude she didn't know he was there with B. Kelly coulda handled their meeting a whole lot better. But B is acting an ass over something that happened YEARS ago over a dude that she's no longer with.

As for NJ, that looks like a hot.Sopranos-wannabe.garbage.mess. The divorcee talking about she needs somebody to come and rescue her and her daughters right now is ridiculous. Great message for your girls. I'ma try to watch it but those accents are prolly gonna do me in.

2elijah said:

True, though I really don't knock them for it, it is the way of their world. I just get into how they interact and note the difference between the parts of the country. I can't really fully put the blame on the money aspect, cause I see the same behavior in broke people. I still love it though.

SCNDLS said:

I'd have agreed with you on Bethanny except for the lunch date her and Kelly had together, and seeing how Kelly acted and what she actually said, let me know that in Kelly's world if you aren't of a certain status, you're pretty much a irrelavant, a nothing. Hopefully, B's friendship with Alex will teach her how to relax and let that kind of stuff roll of her back.

I don't know how the whole NJ thing is going to work out since they're all family, and it's just blatant stereotyping but we'll see. As long as it doesn't get all Soprano-y I'll hang.

morningsong said:

Kelly was totally rattled and frazzled during that meeting. She's just really not that bright, po chile. That's why I think she REALLY didn't remeber Bethenny she seems like a total dingbat.

I watch Dirty Sexy Money, Desperate Housewives, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Supernatural and Battlestar Galactica. Those are much better shows.

morningsong said:

True, broke people that try to keep up with the joneses, then wonder why they don't have any money.

SCNDLS said:

Hey! You guys leave Kelly alone, She seems like she is enjoying her life and not as stuffy as the others, as well as Alex and Simon. I do think Bethenny is a very smart business woman as well as Jill though. Now Ramona, is in this game for money and status, and likes to compete against the others and just seems a bit "nutty." The Countess...or should I say ex-Countess? Anyway, I just can't figure out her obsession with that title that she may no longer have. Let's see if she continues to keep that title, based on the rumors of her husband shacking up with someone else in another country, and if they decide to get a divorce over it.

all i know is that anyone who pays $16K for a damn purse need to be beat butt ass naked with a wet switch.

as does somebody who doesn't like the ipod hookup in their new Benz SUV.

oh wait...

Can't we have some real TV? Don't like Desperate Housewive and now there's an Atlanta Housewife. Why are we a society who gets their rocks off by reality TV showing someone else's pain or mishaps?
