There’s nothing I can say. Absolutely nothing. Watch these clips from tonight’s first (of THREE — announced literally as I write this sentence) Real Housewives of New York City reunion specials. I can only image what else is coming our way.
Total disaster.
Three clips, each more amazing than the next, after the jump.
Also, check out my friend Anna’s wonderful piece about the show at the Daily Beast.
Kelly v. Bethenny.
Jill v. Alex.
Ramona v LuAnn
Deep breaths. Only a few more hours until the show…
How exciting that it’s three parts. Too bad my favorite, Sonja, isn’t on the reunion. I’d love to hear what she has to say about the season.
I’ll be back tomorrow to hear what you have to say!
These are all amazing. Especially Kelly trying to call Bethenny out. She couldn’t even name a single publication that ran these so called stories about her family.
Sonja NOT at the reunion?
Oh boy, that’s a SPOILER for me.
She’s the only one of them who has any objective perceptions.
Even though Bethenny says “I tell it like it is”, she doesn’t. She tells it as she perceives the truth to be from her own experential world.
The only one who comes close to being a truth sayer is Sonja.
Maybe she’ll be on the newly announced 3rd part of the reunion?
Kelly is a moron. And, actually, Sonja announced on Twitter that she’ll be on the 2nd or 3rd part of the reunion.
I wish all 3 hours were on tonight!!!
For the record, if there was ever a doubt about men being the smarter sex, this show has laid that doubt to rest. I am a woman and this display of childishness and stupidity by grown, “successful” women is shameful. I don’t blame the viewers for being interested in watching this, because anthropologically speaking, it’s an interesting show, but what you discover is that the girls never grow out of the old playground antics of bitching and crying and hurting feelings and the circle continues…
Looks like someone hasn’t seen enough of the husbands/boyfriends on these shows and their own bitchy/gossipy/overall childish antics. Two words: Slade Smiley (and he’s just one of many examples I could have easily picked).
yes! Slade was a narcissistic creep of a person- and umIdon’tKnow SPENCER? Kelly [to the exponential power of “gumbeariesâ€] + 2XRamonaCrazyEyes + Danielle(squared boobed) = 1 Spencer
While watching those clips, one thought comes to mind more than any other:
Alex talking <33333333
O M G !
Elle, I’m not familiar with the examples you cite but something tells me these men were not professing to be professional, mature dads whe at the same time continuing their playground antics. The husbands on the show appear less involved in the drama, and from what I see, they don’t seem to have the same interest in the drama ( the perks, maybe) which again makes them the smarter sex.
“Elle, I’m not familiar with the examples you cite but something tells me these men were not professing to be professional, mature dads whe at the same time continuing their playground antics.”
Ok, I’m sorry, but now you just gave yourself away as not having watched very much of these shows.
Roberta – if you had watched more of the Housewives you couldn’t say that they are “less involved in the drama”. The men on these shows have created tons of drama while professing to be mature dads/husbands. One of them is such a professional mature Dad he lied to his family about his finances which resulted in his daughters being served an eviction notice. Another mature Dad created so much drama his stepson feared him & wife left him. And let’s not forget the juicy Dad who told his daughter she was ugly just before she had her first modeling assignment.
Maybe we don’t see them as much because it isn’t called “Real Househusbands” but if it was I have no doubt we could be see all the same backstabbing and clique culture being displayed by the women only way bloodier.

Thanks, hb – but I think you forgot about the mature dad who slacks off on his child support payments while one of his sons battles a brain tumor, preferring instead to party with, gossip with, and leech off of his new girlfriend. Or how about the mature dad who is openly a misogynistic asshole and lives the life of a materialistic pig, funded by shady, unnamed “business ventures,” while simultaneously touting what a church-going man of God he is.
Mario and Bobby are the only 2 of all the groups of men who have any kind of worth. I honestly think Simon Van Kampen is the worst of them all….even worse that most of the women.
The last shot of him babbling was really obnoxious. He looked ridiculous and I did not find him at all funny, as apparently he and his wife did. Simply horrible.
As far as Alex goes, she is becoming a bit too brown-nosey for me. I liked her better a week or so ago. She’s starting to get on my nerves and is becoming a bit of the “mean” girl she so detests.
I fear I am going to have to revise my Best Housewives’ list, B-side. I had her at number one. I think now she is just another follower of the pack and has slid into that “herd mentality”.
