Loved your summing up Sassy. I haven't time to write mine besides you've done it brilliantly. ( Once every 4 years I get totally hooked on the Olympics watching sports I never knew existed, then after 16 days I dont watch them for another 4 years, limiting myself solely to tennis).

I thought JoGo was completely vile and gross. If I was Melissa I'd leave him. Does she think it's appropriate to act like that in front of their children. VOMIT. Stick him in a padded cell with Aviva's equally vile father.

How do family recipes become patented? Surely they are passed down with everyone embellishing them? I'm so over NJ. Nobody commenting on the Bravo blogs has a good word to say about the nasty, spiteful embittered old cow that is Caroline. Dump her and her family. Who are going to get rich selling black water
Yeah! Right! A pig just flew by my window.

Over in NY I thouht Lu's wine thing was typical of the lowlife, classless bitch she is. Carol totally has her number. I love Carol. She's the only sane one there.

And, joy of joys. I got to see the fabulous toaster oven. Oh WOW. Colour me underwhelmed. It looks like something from a caravan. But Sonja is going to get rich from that too!

Deluded. All of them.

OC tat - and I do mean that lol. I hate that I visit the DM site - people posting there make Freddy Kruger seem pleasant!

Thanks again for these updates!

I don't know if anyone has posted this (because I'm far too hungover to check) but here's a little preview of The Real Housewives Of New York this season. I must say my interest in this show was waning but I may stick it out as it looks like things are about to get interesting...

Thanks tally, I watched them both back to back, so it was all fresh in my mind when I posted last night! haha

Totally agree about Carole, she is brilliant isnt she? completely sees right through Luann and her ways! I loved when she was talking to her designer friend, and was absolutely fuming that Lu had asked her friends husband to design a dress for her. Typical Lu, and you can just imagine it "Dahling, Im the Countess. Give me a dress"

Oh how could I forget to mention the toaster oven?! Poor Sonja, she thinks shes going to be the next Bethenny off that thing! That guy Heather brought in to help with her marketing just looked confused, and bemused! and what did Sonja look like when she turned up at the office, in that hat, and with her oven in the suitcase!


It does look like theres some real drama on the way thats for sure, honestly I just cant wait for Aviva to utter that "white trash" insult to Ramona. That will be brilliant! Ramona will lose it

Paul and Adrienne news, hope it works out but she talked to him like a dog!

I'm not surprised the way she speaks to him is despicable. Totally void of feelings that woman and deluded to boot. Cannot stand her and the way she treated Lisa Vanderpump last season was a disgrace.

Hiya - updated to include confirmation from Adrienne

Hey guys, love lurking on this thread, all your recaps always have me laughing. Only watch NY at american pace though, loving Carole and how Luanne is finally getting some heat!

Also love Beverly Hills- anyone know when its back for season 3? Read in that Daily mail article that they are doing the reunion show soon but i had always thought that the reunions were filmed much later than the episodes, so the housewives saw themselves on tv as the season aired and then did the reunion show just a few weeks before it was due to air? For example, I can remember Bethenny had had her baby by the time they did the season 3 reunion for NY? It always seems like a lot of time has passed between the finale and the reunion... does anyone know how it works for sure?

I watch a bit of OC but only on itv2 (which has got me sucked back into the NY reruns which im loving all over agin) - dont love OC as much though, kind of boring compared to NY/BH.
Anyone know if itv2 will show season 5 of NY when they come around to it?

Unsurprising story about Brandi who, for me, never ceases get more classless in each episode...

I was a fan of the New Jersey series, what ever happened to that cast?

Which one, the original? NJ used to be my favourite, but it's become nigh on unbearable this last season.

In a nutshell, Danielle was sacked, Jo and Treasa went bankrupt, Jo went nearly went to prison for DUI and forging a driving licence. Tre went on Zleb Apprentice and is now bezzy mates with Donald Trump!! Her entrepreneurial skills know no beginning.
Tre's brother, wife and cousin were brought in after Dina quit. They all hated each other and bitched constantly with the Manzos and Lauritos sticking up for Teresa.
But then Caroline fell out with Dina, blamed Tre so has cut her out of her life and become a first class bitch, Jac fell out with Tre, Joe Guidice fell out with everyone, Jo ( Tre's brother) is a sexually obsessed little creep who totally grosses me out. Wifey Melissa thinks she's Americas next great singing sensation and is now trying to get along with Teresa who was pretty much friendless at one point.

PHEW! Think that's it. I am embarrassed I know so much, but it's such car crash telly you cant forget it.

This week's episode features the whole caboodle going camping! In a Californian car park. In fabulous RV's with every mod con. Tre and Melissa hate roughing it. I'd so love them to do proper camping, like an Outward Bound style of camping. Their designer stilettos would look so good!

Phew, and breath!

Many thanks for that, yes that was the series that I was on about!

NJ gossip...

Aw I love Paul, he's one of the most down to earth people in this show. I really like Adrienne in series one but she seemed to change a little in series two.

A little bit of Bethenny

I saw the OC episode today when Vicki & Donn renewed their marriage vows...oh dear! Also, when they said how lovely it was with just the two of them....and the camera crew. Wonder if they ever really forget they the cameras are there?

Especially when both of them were having affairs! I wonder just how much hypocrisy Vicki can be capable of. I dont think she has an ounceof self awareness or realises how vile she is.

Actually I always liked Donn and if I'd been with Vicki I'd have had a long affair too. No, I'd be behind bars for GBH or murder, I cant stand her. Though strangely I'd miss her OTTness if she wasn't there.

Like Jill, she's the one I love to hate and have done since Season 1.

This!! So true, I cant stand Vicki, never have, never will but I also cant imagine RHOC without her. Its her complete batsh*t craziness that can totally make an ep of this show!

Talking of batsh*t crazy, has anyone seen how utterly ridiculous Ramona was this week on NY? OMG if I was Aviva Id have clubbed her over the head with the leg! What was that all about, get out the pool, dont get it wet, Ooh its not your swimming leg?! She was ridiculous. I dont get her, is she scared of a prosthetic leg?? I thought her whole attitude was ridiculous, and so rude. Then she got out, picked up a towel and tried to usher Aviva out herself. Mental. Then later at Avivas dads place she does it again, Aviva gets into the hot tub and Ramona nigh on has a panic attack about not getting this fake leg wet- SHUT UP Ramona!

I like Aviva's attitude to her leg, its not an issue for her and she doesnt see that it needs to be. But not with Ramona around!

On a side note though, just how fabulous does Aviva look in her bikini?! Her body is fantastic!

Also, loved Caroles convo with the clueless countess about the dress incident. Lu is totally clueless, and tries to explain that she was actually doing him a favour by asking to wear the dress Ok Lu, cos this guy makes clothes for Michelle Obama, like he needs an ex countess and professional famewhore to sell his clothes! I think not!

Oh Ive been meaning to comment on this. I think its a shame. Though Im not entirely sure Im surprised either.

I love watching Paul on BH, and Adrienne was one of my faves until the season 2 reunion, but I really didnt like the side of her that we saw there, and how she went after Lisa.

also, conor123 Ive been reading similar things regarding the reunion. But I think they must be getting it mixed up, the reunions always tape just before the end of the season on tv, I know they have just finished filming on season 3 though, so maybe they mean the finale party or something. I really dont see why they would tape the reunion so early before the season has been on tv.

Ooh and welcome to the thread conor123!

I really have never understood why people hated Jill, she was my favourite of all the housewives including from OC etc. I really think the show has taken a big loss with firing her and Kelly.

More Brandi in the loo sex scandal lol

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...rds-party.html

Mine too, I liked her

Oh gawd. Finally got round to watching NY. Jeez, Ramona is just offensive. It's not speaking your mind Ramo, it's being downright rude. Mario seems to encourage her. wth?

Why cant we put Jo Gorga and Aviva's repulsive father in Dr Drew's Sex Rehab ( although JoGo is probably all talk and no do). UGH. They are both walking adverts for avoiding men. ( And I love male company usually)

Loved Carole once again. Though if Lu got an inkling how out of line she is then I'l be amazed. Stupid cow.`

Next time Aviva, take your 3rd leg with you and hit Ramona hard, as she falls into the pool.

*drool* @ that penthouse. It's spectacular


Re Jill. I may not like her, but I really miss her. Why she got the push and they kept the Countless I will never understand. Kelly was apeshit and it was uncomfortable to watch. I didn't mind Alex...sans Simon.
