I am so glad The Real Housewives of New York City are back on again. Not that I don't enjoy watching all the other Housewives shows, because I do.
(See? No shame. No embarrassment. I am letting the entire world know that I watch trashy reality TV. Actually, I do more than watch - I THINK about it.)
But the New York Housewives are my favorites. They're smarter than the other Housewives. It pains me to say it, Jersey resident that I am, but it's true. When I watch the other Housewives shows, I'm always listening for grammatical mistakes and the misuse of big words. I'm also always staring in mute horror at the behavior of most of the husbands. Which is its own kind of fun.
But the New York Housewives generally make sense. And while there are many, many, many things to be said about the symbiotic relationship between Alex and her husband Simon, I'd much rather hang out with him than with Tamra's husband Simon. That guy is such a douche.
Anyway, what's great about the New York show is that while the women seem fairly intelligent and have equal marriages (er, those that still have marriages), they are STILL immature and nuts. They have stupid fights, alliances change and where you sit really, really matters. It's like high school with money.
I would happily go out drinking with any of the New York women (except Kelly, she's a complete bitch). I would go out with a few of the Atlanta women too, but that's it. All the cool Orange County Housewives have left. And the New Jersey Housewives. . . . .
I will watch it when it comes on again. Partially because I like to see places I recognize on camera. It makes me feel cool. And of course, they do provide a lot of drama. But naturally I find the show embarrassing. I mean, not only is it about New Jersey, it's about my area of it. And it's not completely inaccurate. That, quite possibly, is the worst part.
Which is another reason to love the New York show. I'm not from there. Sure, I'm familiar with it. I've even been to the Hamptons before. (Once. A long time ago.) But it's not personal.
Thank God.

I am so glad to see someone else admit that they too are "Real Housewives" fans. I agree with you entirely, the New York housewives are by far the "classiest" if you can even say that about them, of all the wives. They are too my most favorite, especially Jill. And Kelly, who does she think she is! Some washed up model I have never heard of. The Orange County ones I can watch but I truly get sick to my stomach at times watching them because they are so trashy and uneducated. It is amazing that they dont care how stupid they act for the whole world to see. I live in San Diego so the OC wives are the closest to my demographic, and I am truly embarassed to think they are representing Southern Californian women. But hey it is all for entertainment and I enjoy it and yes I am admitting it too and will continue to do so.
