Preview Season 3 of The Real Housewives of New York City


In just two weeks, we’ll get an extra dose of housewives cattiness when The Real Housewives of Orange County ends and begins.

What kind of drama can we expect from the East Coasters this season? The Countess (a.k.a. LuAnn) gets a divorce and goes tone deaf; Ramona and her husband renew their vows (how Vicki and Donn of them); and Alex unloads “mean girl” comments on Jill. Meanwhile, Bethenney experiences love, pregnancy and apparent hatred from just about everyone.

The two-hour OC/NYC event starts March 4 @ 10:00 on Bravo.

A Testy Reunion for The Real Housewives of New York City

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:

Real Housewives of New York City, Ramona SingerIf you’re anything like me, the season finale of left you gagging.  There’s no way those five women would have ever posed for a group photo in real life…let alone agree to be at the same party.

Well according to the New York Post, next Tuesday’s reunion special will be a lot less friendly and potentially more bitchy.  Awesome.

spies claim there were several arguments at this pre-taping between entrepreneur Ramona Singer…and just about everyone.  When asked why she chose not to invite Jill Zarin to her cooking party, Singer opted to walk out of the taping.  (In case you didn’t know, she has a thing for dramatic exits.)  When Bethenny tried to defend the absent woman, Ramona then started screaming at her ‘friend’ because she dared to speak for her.

The Real Housewives of New York City: One Shrew Too Many or New Guilty Pleasure?

Description

I remember once a media professor at the University of Washington asked our class the simple but loaded question: Why do you watch TV? The class’ answer seemed to boil down to two main reasons: we watch television because we aspire to be what we see or because what we see makes us feel better about our own lives.

This memory popped into my head as I watched a mini-marathon of TV’s newest ‘docu-reality’ series the . What I can’t yet decide is which category of reason for watching TV this show falls into. I’m pretty sure it is the latter.

After shame watching three seasons of the , I expected the NYC ladies to be more of the same cliche of spoiled, self-indulgent, wasteful and shameless cougars albeit a bit less tan, with sleeker hair and a much less appealing accent. And while they are to an extent all of those things, much like New York City itself, these women do seem more worldly and educated than their Southern California counterparts. It is also clear that despite Bravo’s spin-off name for this show, these women are not housewives at all. In fact, it appears they spend very little time, if any, at home.
