Yep and unless I heard wrong Jim was investigated by the FBI?
He was, according to Peggy. That was one of the resons she didn't want to tell Alexis about their having dated in the past, Peggy said she was afraid of what Jim would do. As I said in a previous post, Jim a mafia wise guy

Sassy, have you seen this weeks' NY? I'm still ing about it. I'll write my thoughts tomorrow, but OMG, what's happened to Sonia?

It wasn't all bad, there was hardly any Lu at all. Always a plus in my book.
Yes tally, just been catching up. OMG Sonja is starting to lose it big time is she not? Theres a part of me that does feel for her- shes obviously a woman who lived a very charmed and fabulous life (once upon a time ) but thats clearly NOT her situation anymore, and I dont think she has a clue how to deal with that.

I cringed when she had that go at Aviva and she all but shreiked "Dont you know who I am?!", threatened to ruin her, and then hit out with the "My mouth is money" Oh Sonja, no, just no. The irony is if her mouth was money it be handy seen as she owes a lot of people a lot of $$s!!

Luann was right, Ramona can drink all day long. Sonja cant!

Not that Aviva caried herself any better, what age is she?! Seriously, let it go! Shes still complaining about everything, and the fact the women didnt throw her a parade when she arrived! She needs to get over herself. Heather was great this week, really warming more to her now, I loved her telling Aviva to grow up and get over it. Well said! Felt sorry for Carole getting upset, she really is fabulous.

So rude of Ramona and Sonja to skip out on Russ concert. Ramona "never got the memo" apparently. Right, what she means is it cut into her pino time! Carole was so right when she said there is an "inelegance" to her and Sonja when they drink. As if to prove the point, Sonja rips off ALL her clothes and dives into the pool at the end Though, I did LOVE Heather and Carole throwing Ramona in, that was fab!

Just watched this week's NJ. I'll start off with the tame before going on to the main story...

So Caroline, Albert and Lauren visit Chris, Albie and Albie's girlfriend Lindsay in their apartment. Lindsay's been cooking so that could only mean 1 thing - shots of Caroline looking less than impressed. Cue yet another reminder to viewers that Caroline (who always speaks in the third person) doesn't think Albie is ready for a relationship. It's too distracting for his work and ''where he needs to be in life''. The next time we see Caroline she's with Lauren at the old Chateau building where they've just rented the space to set up their new business. No mention that Lauren's relationship with Vito is getting in the way of her goals, funnily enough. I find Caroline to be so overbearing as a mother to her son's that any woman who comes into the picture is doomed. Having said that, according to their tweets, Lindsay is still very much part of Albie's life.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline catches up with Ashley or ''Ashlee'' as she now goes by on Skype. Apparently Ashlee has actually done what she set out to do - move to California and get a good job. Jacqueline sounds pleasantly surprised (why? I'm sure they've been speaking to each other constantly before that Skype call in front of the cameras!). We then learn Ashlee has gotten 2 more tattoos - 1 being a horrible, tacky skull on her hand. Jacqueline is understandably worried.

Kathy and Rich go to meet with Bindi - a company that they hope will invest in her dessert range. Normally, I like Rich. He doesn't bulls**t about anything and usually tells it how it is. But he's a little too honest during this meeting to the point of cringeworthy. I understand Kathy wanting him to be there to an extent but why is he chiming in when it's her doing the work and it's her name on the product? This isn't the first time Rich has been like this in these situations - everyone else in the room looking at him and thinking ''back off''.

Melissa and Joe Gorga go for a dinner-meeting with some music industry types to discuss her future in the biz. I can't say I'm all that interested in this at all. I think they're trying to save face with the whole ''we're doing this independently without a label'' as if they really have a choice in the matter. Melissa wants to be as big as Christina Aguilera!

Over at Teresa's, she's trying to teach the girls how to speak Italian... where we learn she can't even speak it properly herself, despite the image she tries to portray. Gia takes over when it seems Teresa can't multi-task in reading from a book and telling the younger daughters to calm down! That's when Kim D pays a visit to rescue us from this nonsense...

So Kim D is hosting her annual Posche fashion show. We learn Teresa just loves these Posche shows and she always has a good time (Cut to flashback of Teresa getting into a fight with Danielle and chasing her down a hallway in 2009, and to Teresa having an argument with Kathy over the ''unattended'' thing in 2010!)!! I sometimes hope and pray she's saying these things with a tongue in her cheek but the look on her face is so vacant that I worry she's actually being serious!

We discover Kim D has been bashing the Gorga's all over town about how they do business - so Kim D has to eat sh*t and backtrack by calling Melissa to ''apologise''. At this point you just know there's an ulterior motive behind this ''apology''. And I have to say what a nerve she has in asking her to come to event! She bashes Joe Gorga's business to everyone but then hopes Melissa will come and support hers because let's be honest, Melissa being there benefits Kim D!

Anyway Kim D and Teresa go to a salon to get their make-up done in preparation for the big night. A man who says he's Melissa ex-boss from way back introduces himself to them. When Teresa learns of his connections to Melissa I think she genuinely is annoyed. But Kim D just can't stop pushing for details despite Teresa running out of the room in protest. Kim D is clearly loving the giant sh*t-stirring spoon in her hand. Melissa ''danced'' for him 7 or 8 years ago. Apparently his customers were sad to see her go. I don't see why Kim D is almost frothing at the mouth about this - so what if Melissa ''danced'' at his club. He owned or worked at that club too! Shouldn't you be looking down on him too you hypocritical old crone!?

All in all, this episode was far better than last week's 'come-down' from the Napa trip. Although I will say this - it does seem like an audition piece for Kim D. She's bringing the drama to try and wangle her way on to the show next season. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens now. Teresa needs an ally - which would be ironic because she'd only need an ally in Kim D BECAUSE of Kim D's bitchy underhanded tactics!

Well that was one weird show today. WTF, who does Vicky (miss piggy) think she is. OK so Slade is a bit weird and that improv show was so random and his jokes were not funny, but still, Slade has good reason to be pissed with Vicky (and Tamra as well). When Grethen and Slade made it known to Vicky that her new boyfriend had been in jail for all the things that she had accussed Slade off ...... well well well, Vicky went mental .. as I said who does she think she is. To think she said to Tamara its OK for Brooke cause he has a job ?? what is she talking about.

Vickys daughter, poor thing being driven to the hospital for her op and Vicky said 'its like driving to heaven' ... and then I am going to be sick ........ oh my god, me me me. Don is well out of it, how happy did he look.

Isn't Heather such a smug woman, ewww not sure I like her.

Alex, poor thing having to pull string out from her nose each morning. She is a bit of a mess.

Tamra, she is a bit dreamy this season, something is going on with her, not sure what it is?

Liking Greten so far.

Vicky is driving me nuts I used to like her but slowly the annoying habits from the "work work work " to poor Don and the love tank crap. She can't admit when she's wrong with the whole Slade and child support thing! Now saying it's noones business yet she kept on about Slades business is annoying me

Heather I do like her I think as she is a newbie the looks of omg these women are crazy is quite funny .

Alexis I do like but the crying did feel a bit over the top I know it can be scary but omg tears galore

The other girls in the OC im liking loads too so who knows where this goes !

Does anyone know if ITV2 or sky channel will be showing new RHNY ? I miss having it after the OC

I love watching both the OC and NY wives. Tried watching some of the other ones but prefer OC/NY.

The best thing I like is the reunion shows all the bitching and fighting

Oh and did we really need to see Alexi snot

I love how many people we now have on this thread, it's great.

I think we ought to stop referring to it as our " guilty pleasure" Hell, why be guilty? It's trash at its' trashiest best, so no guilt from me anymore.

Just going to catch up with NY, and NJ-where do the weeks go? I'm back on liking Heather and disliking Aviva, my hatred for the fake Countess is perennial though.

Sooooo glad I read this thread today!! Have been waiting and waiting for the third series to start somewhere on TV. Downloaded most of the episodes but was finding it hard to get decent ones. Have Sky+'d!!!

(Is it sad that I'm stupidly excited about this!!!!)
Not at all. Look on them as a public service. They make our lives, though humdrum, seem SO superior.

This Youtube channel has every episode of NJ on there - all in excellent quality too. http://www.youtube.com/user/TribalGu...?feature=watch
Thank you so much, I never knew that was there. No more d/l including loads of fakes for me. You're a star!

Just spotted this about Alex, love how it says "The reality TV star, who lists her age as 32"

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...nts-fired.html

I thought Tamra and Vicki looked like the poor sisters compared with Heathers friends

None of them looked like they have done a days work so goodness knows how they plan to run a restaurant, did laugh when she said she planned to do it around school hours and her husband saying we will get investors so if it goes belly up, who cares So they are all wealthy, but expect someone else to put the money up, when they have no experience and want it as a hobby because they are bored, we need to get them on dragons den

Hopefully we will get NY when this series finishes unless they start at the begining again and then add the new series at the end like they did with OC. Its been ages since I have been able to real housewives, so pleased to have it back

I agree, the main UK channels are missing a trick with the housewives series. BH is on Bio now and again, but I keep forgetting to set to record, as I have missed the first series I have now given up on it. Do not know anything about Washington or Miami?
Apparently there is going to be a series called 'London Ladies', which is based on the 'Housewives' franchise.

RHOOC.

My most favourite character in the series has been the long suffering Donn.

He who raised Vicki's kids and put up with her coldness through the years. Then was dumped by her due to her affair with the very creepy Brooks, shudder. She did though allow the long suffering Donn to remain in the marital home as she needed his pay cheque, so not quite as successful as I thought she was. I imagine her set up is MLM and she is the top of a pyramid.

Anyway, I thought I'd see how my favourite decent guy was faring and I was very disappointed. Apparently, he's having sex openly with his new partner at a swingers club. Same partner each time, so that's ok then.

Good solid honest Donn. My judgement must be way off kilter.

I don't think it does actually which is shocking considering its the highest rated housewife show

Did anyone else catch the season premier of Real housewives of Miami season 2?

Makes you wonder if thats why she was so cold towards him. Id have thought having sex infront of strangers isnt something that just appears out of thin air.

Might explain Vickies dislike of PDA

I dont think the restaurant will go ahead. Those girls had no clue and vicki was spot on as one admitted they just want a place of their own to hang out. They have no experience and werent even going to have anything written up when there six of them to make decisions! I think vicki and tamra were only there because heather is new so they try and involve the regular cast to keep people interested.

Id like to see more of alexis and heather together because of the rivalry!

Vicki is even more annoying. She moans she doesnt like being home alone and only sees brooks two weeks a month yet she had don live there for years and she would ignore him! I wonder how long it will take until she realises how shes spent the last how ever many years pushing her family away to focus on her work and now shes alone.

She [Vikki] did though allow the long suffering Donn to remain in the marital home as she needed his pay cheque, so not quite as successful as I thought she was. I imagine her set up is MLM and she is the top of a pyramid.
-----------------------------
I've been wondering about Vikki's business, she keeps saying it's her business yet a few seasons ago she went to an convention which lead me to thinking it was a franchise thing, but your thoughts on her set up being MLM makes sense too. She probably did need Don's pay cheque if her summer electric bill which she mentioned a few seasons ago is anything to go by, I think she said it was $1200 a month and that was about 3 years ago

Vikki's hypocrisy First she slates Slade for being a deadbeat dad and then she dates Brooke who has been arrested for non payment of child maintenance and defends him vicariously at the eighties bunco party telling Gretchen it was none of her business but had been happily poking her nose in to Gretchen and Slade's business, then her explanation of Brooke's income "he's an entrepreneur, he works from his phone and computer, he's a consultant.." I recall her deriding Alexis' explanation of Jim's income as an entrepreneur/consultant. Personally I think Jim's deals are probably shady.

Not ultra keen on Slade myself but Brooke gives me the creeps, his instance on being kissed in public "gimme, gimme" Yuk!

The only ones I really like are Gretchen and Eddie. I was surprised to see Gretchen befriend the horribly mean and nasty Tamra. Eddie's a nice bloke and wasted (not naked wasted ) on catty Tamra.
