LuAnne simply married into money and royalty and brought nothing to the marriage except her tolerance for her husband's constant absences, her ability to keep her mouth shut and her nice body/face.
Ramona has some kind of Terret's and for the life of me, I cannot understand how her husband is able to tolerate her. Sorry to say, but I also think she is quite unattractive.
Bethenny rocks, but she really is just too in your face. I hope she finds a man that can deal with it. And yes, the fake boobs are a bit of a turn-off. She would be perfectly fine w/out them since she has a rock-hard body and an attractive face. I didn't realize she had had plastic surgery on her face.
I loved that Ramona was able to rattle LuAnn at the Cancer center (and yes, I also saw that poor woman w/ cancer in the background), but it was totally inappropriate. The Count is pretty old and unattractive, but who is Ramona to criticize. She is pretty ugly herself.
And yes, I agree, LuAnne was CLEARLY jealous of Bethenny's photo spread. Oh, and what about Bethenny having to pay for LuAnne's surf lesson? What a cheapskate.
Jill is just too funny. I think she is completely neurotic, but she is a good person at heart. I like her.

These ladies have had TOO much plastic surgery, I think. Not a wrinkle, not a line... and that "pulled tight" look that makes them actually look older than they are (with the exception of Alex and Jill). I have nothing against botox or plastic surgery, but prefer a more natural look. Kelly and Bethenny are beautiful but have those tight, shiny faces.

None of them are as bad as Melissa Rivers!

I think any man who wears pink pants and pink loafers at least bats for both teams.

And Ramona's husband? I'd hit it.

Me too! Why is he with her?!?! We could treat him so much better and not embarass him on national television.

Agree her husband is hot hot hot and it seems like he really loves her--love is strange!!!

Yes, there must be something else going on there.

Hey, can anyone tell me when this show is on? I mean first-aired. I tried to DVR it and since I hit "any time" it taped about 10 of the same episodes in 24 hours. I think I need to figure out when it is first-aired to only tape it once. It's hard to hide my secret indulgence from my DH if it shows up 20 times on the DVR : )

Go to Bravo website. I think you can watch episodes directly online.

I liked her a lot better in the article vs. the show. She came across as much more normal in the article.

Tuesdays at 10pm is when they air the newest episode. You can tell your DVR to only record new episodes, I believe.

Thanks! I can get the DVR to tape only new episodes, but I can only figuure out how to do it if I know when the new episodes are.

And that's why there is no substitute for tivo. If my house was on fire and I only had time to save only one thing, that would be it.

Can we talk about all the recent catfights? Bethenny v. the Countess, Ramona v. the Countess, the fights are so awesome they're uncomfortable to watch! Ramona just doesn't understand tact, Jill has diarhea of the mouth, the Countess has a superiority complex, the new chick sounds and walks like a man, and Benthenny calls people out on all their crap. Oh and Alex. Oh Alex the desperate social climber. I don't know that she really is that way, but the show sure makes her seem that way. And while pink loafers alone don't seem insane, everything else about Simon makes him seem questionable uber-metro-sexual. He's so weird. I bet that he and Alex were both big dorks in high school. They're totally overcompensating now. But I love them all! They make such great TV!

I actually liked LuAnne again tonight. We finally saw more of Kelly and I was definitely in Bethenny's camp. When told by Jill that Ali had Rheumatoid Arthritis, all she could come up with was, "oh, that's cute"???? She seems truly vacuous. Apparently she went to Columbia and is a published author but she seems to have zippo depth--although clearly she takes herself very seriously. I like Ramona most of the time but it bothers me that one of the reasons she despises Simon is that he's "feminine". Why the hell does that bother her SO much???
