Could they puh-leez go to London already? This season of The Real Housewives of New York is slow to say the least, and tonight's episode was more mind-numbingly boring than ever. There's really got to be more to this season than this silly little spat between Ramona Singer and Heather Thomson, doesn't there?
I mean more than a detailed account of what Sonja Morgan's interns do. More than watching LuAnn de Lesseps get acupuncture. More than watching Carole Radziwill's uncomfortable date. This stuff does not a promising season of Real Housewives make. I never thought I'd say it, but I think I miss Simon van Kempen -- at least we could count on him for some shocking scenes.
Sigh. But this is what we've got, so I guess we should discuss this dumb feud between Ramona and Heather, which neither will acknowledge as a feud.
Heather's trying to be all smooth about it, citing her right to invite anyone she wants to London. That's fine, but she's still a mean girl for excluding only Ramona, and Ramona needs to be a big girl and move on ... or pull a Jill Zarin and show up in London unexpectedly. Now THAT would spice things up (fingers crossed).
The bottom line is Ramona and Heather just don't like each other. They're way too similar, which they'd never see, but it's a recipe for disaster when their similarities including traits like -- narcissistic, obnoxious, and must be the center of attention at all time. It will be interesting to see which side of crazy and obnoxious the other Housewives choose in the end, as I'm convinced there's more of it to come from Heather, holla! (her opening line drives me insane), and, of course, there's plenty of it from Ramona always.
I don't mean to be so negative, but it's sad to see what used to be one of the franchise's best cities fall so far down on the rung -- we're talking almost down to the level of the atrocity that was Miami. Shudder.
Carole is the only bright light, and she's funny as hell. She's also clearly there just to pimp her book and TV show, and isn't really in it for the action, so I doubt she's going to stir things up too much.
Hopefully next week London will happen, and the "cool girls" will go to London (though there's nothing cool about LuAnn, and Heather is lukewarm at best) while Ramona and Aviva stay back and Ramona stews some more. Then we can finally move on to whatever else the rest of this season brings ... if we don't fall asleep first. Andy Cohen, do something!
What do you think of The Real Housewives of New York this season?

The show is BORING....!!!! Sorry but, hey...wake up Bravo !!! Love Carol and her sense of humor but thats about it !! Ramona needs to pull up her big girl panties and just get over the fact that she didn't get invited to London. Hell, I wouldn't want her there either !!! Ramona's antic's have made her look even more self centered (if that was possible) and a bit "off the wall" this season. But with Aviva "helping" the rift stay center stage.....maybe Ramona ought to tell Avavi she talks to much !!! LOL!! Heather made a great point/reason for not inviting Ramona.......I wouldn't want her around any of my prospective business clients either !!!!!
It's so nice to be able to watch the show again. I refused to watch it while Jill and Kelly were on it - I hated them both and I think getting rid of them was good business.
I happen to like this season of RHONY. I am so over the made up drama and fake fights of the other franchises. That is not real life and is getting very predictable and boring. We finally have interesting women who are acting somewhat normal sharing their upscale lives with us.
I do like Ramona but god, get off the whole London thing already, you werent invited get over it.
It looked like she was in the previews in London...
