So I feel like I should warn you that this post is probably
gonna be a long one because I finally watched the season premiere of Real
Housewives of New York and I’ve got a lot to say, there’s been quite a few
changes. The obvious change is the addition of 3 new housewives and they bring
a lot of interesting things to the mix. They are definitely stirring the pot,
even after one episode. Aviva is the ex wife of Sonya’s best friend whom Sonya
has allegedly been more than friends with on more than one occasion. Also,
another twist is that Luann has had relations with him also, so this is quite
the love triangle. Fortunately for Aviva, she has moved on and has remarried so
she won’t be the bitter ex. I have to admit I watched like half of this week’s
episode and I don’t want to go too deep into this because I haven’t watched the
whole episode but she seems to really love her husband. She even said something
along the lines of if he was gone she wouldn’t be able to go on and he’s her
everything. I found that to be quite surprising, she didn’t strike me as the
type to fall into that trap, but I guess its all too common nowadays. Another
new housewife, Heather, is a fashion designer and has worked for Sean John,
Jennifer Lopez, House of Dereon, her resume is pretty impressive. She owns a
shapewear line that also contains lingerie, which she decided to wear to a
party at Sonja’s. Yes, she wore a lingerie slip to a party. She had a jacket
thing over it but still, I thought it was a little tacky. Of course, it was a
big hit with Ramona, the queen of class. I have a feeling what I’ll have to say
about her this season will not be flattering at all, but I am trying to stay
away from bashing so we’ll see. The crazy thing about Heather and Ramona is
that they are almost the same person. Like they have a lot of not so nice
things to say about each other but it’s almost like a pot calling kettle
situation. I can understand why they don’t care for each other, their larger
than life personality can be a bit too much for one room, and honestly I think
Ramona is afraid that there might be someone who is just as, if not more
successful than her. She’s supposed to be the working/career mom and someone
has come in and is doing it better. I'm excited to see how this plays out,
because anybody who watches knows Ramona is not the type to fight fair or
nicely, so this should be very, very interesting. The third new housewife,
Carole, is an author who was married to Robert Kennedy’s cousin I believe. She
is also a Princess by marriage, or something like that, I don’t know she was
kinda confusing me. She is a widow, so she feels the need to complain about
trying to live life as a widow, which I normally could sympathize with, except
her husband was a prince. He left her with a fortune and a great life, so I’m
sorry but I don’t wanna hear it. And it’s not like she complains about being
alone or the grief of losing the love of her life, she complains about having
people come up to her and compliment her about her book or the rules of dating
for a widow. All I can do is just hope this isn’t a trend for all season. Well,
Ramona and Luann are fighting for the title of queen of condescending remarks.
There are unresolved issues from last season and supposedly Ramona threatened
to blackmail Luann with information about her kids. I’m sure there’s more to
the story, at least I hope so because that’s pretty low, even for Ramona. I
just can’t wait to get home and finish this week’s episode, it was getting
really good and then I had to go to work.
So I have to talk about this week’s Girls episode. I must
admit I am very disappointed in Hannah. She’s is becoming that girl I hate,
that girl who was everybody’s best friend until she got into a relationship. I
just never expected this from her, she always seemed so much smarter than this.
I guess in the end, we’re all that girl if we’re not careful. It ended with
Marnie and Hannah getting into a huge fight and Marnie stating that she doesn’t
want to live with Hannah anymore. I have to admit, in the beginning of the show
I was empathetic to Hannah because she was kinda the lost friend and plus she
was being cut off from her parents so you almost pitied her. Now, all I see is
a brat who needs a wakeup call. I mean, her parents were supporting her for 2
years after she got out of school and she hasn’t had the best words for them
and now Marnie is supporting her until she gets a job and this is how she
thanks her. She constantly wants to tear down those she needs the most.
Unfortunately I can be guilty of the same thing, so this was definitely an eye
opening topic. Next week should be interesting; it’s the season finale so I
can’t wait to see the direction they want to take the show.
So, I did warn you guys that this post was going to run a
little longer than usual. There’s one more show I need to talk about, that’s
Tough Love. If I haven’t told you guys before, I will most likely be
auditioning for this show next season because my love life is pretty much in
the dumpster, so of course I watch a show about women who are just as bad if
not worse-off than me. And, I'm not going to make this a pity party about how
sucky things are going in that department so let’s move on to the show. This
season has brought quite a few fascinating characters, someone has already been
kicked off. This episode just might have been the most drama-filled, with Steve
bringing back all the girls exes, except Despina who is the infamous maneater,
so no one wanted to come. I’m not gonna lie it was pretty tough to see all the
girls break down when their exes first arrived, and I wasn’t expecting so many
of the girls to fall back into their old patterns. I was shocked by Stephanie’s
ex, he was tatted and pierced everywhere and kinda a douche. She just seemed to
pretty to fall for someone like that, and to hear that they were on and off for
almost 10 years, I wasn’t expecting that. It was obvious that he had this
unexplainable hold over her, and he was one of those I don’t want you but I
don’t want anyone else to either types. Another surprise was Shalina’s ex, who
was an apparent case of camera balls. I felt so bad for Shalina, I can only
imagine how embarrassed she must have been. I thought it was odd that Steve
didn’t say anything to her during group, she ran away, instead of handling the
situation, which isn’t gonna solve anything. I really like Aubrey for her
though, especially after seeing her ex, he seems like exactly what she needs.
Danielle, I don’t know how I feel about that dilemma. All one can do is hope
that she makes the right decision. Elisabeth, Elisabeth Elisabeth Elisabeth.
She’s come along way, but man does she have a way to go. Her ex just seems like
an a-hole and basically said that she can’t support herself. And unfortunately,
I kinda think she agrees with him. I just wanna hug her and say, you’re stronger
than you think, girl. Next week all the girls go back home with their matches,
so I’m like extra excited, next Sunday night can’t get here soon enough.
Well, that concludes my research paper for this week. If you
haven’t fallen asleep yet, then please comment, I would love some feedback. Do
you agree, do you think I've gone too far, I wanna hear it. Until next time, a
bientot.
