RHONYC: The Season of Evil Begins!


By bBitz | | 6:15 pm | 42 Comments

Hello everyone! Welcome back for the second episode of Real Housewives of NYC! I threw my back out this week so it’s going to be a delightful, muscle-relaxer-induced recap for everyone. Maybe in my medicated-daze I’ll give the ladies a break and not be so harsh. I mean, these are real people, with real problems and honest hearts and…

I love how she’s got a dog in the background instead of children. Maybe if she stopped guzzling down her chances at getting pregnant she’d have some cute lil’ bastards to show off like the other ladies.

For those of you keeping track, my kindness streak lasted 2.5 seconds.

We begin at Sonja’s apartment while the Countess arrives and they prepare for the “Equality for Gay Marriage March Extravaganza” thing. Apparently Sonja is the grand marshall for being a gay icon. Huh? Did she win Ru Paul’s Drag Race and I don’t remember? She’s almost as angular as Raja. Definitely sluttier though.

Luann tries to get out of wearing a wedding dress for the march but crafty Sonja already has a bunch there. I hope she’s got one with shoulders that are 4 feet across and ample room in the crotch. Speaking of linebacker shoulders, Kelly’s here! And just in time to hear Sonja talk about having sex. She’s like Blanche with all of the sex talk and none of the southern class or charm to go along with it.

Next to arrive, everyone’s favorite nag, Alex! Sonja thanks her for coming to HER day and Alex counters that she’s happy to be there because it’s HER day (she’s on the committee-to-talk-about-herself or something like that). Kelly mentions that she’s actually there for the cause. Kelly: 1point.

Alex talks about the wedding the day before and how she thought her, Jill and Ramona should’ve all stayed away from each other. Like when she approached Jill TWICE and called her out on lying. She’s so non-confrontational like that. This wolf in sheep’s clothing shit is getting really old fast, Alex. No one likes Jill. But being obsessed with destroying the girl no one likes isn’t likable either. Let’s call it “Housewives Backlash”.

Alex tries to explain the theory behind wearing a wedding gown for the march. Which is hysterical to watch her justify wanting to show off her wedding gown. Bitch please, you know you’re just excited to finally wear that thing without some guy in red patent leather pants standing next to you and saying, “I dooooooo!” with glitter shooting out of his ass.

The rest of the girls all call her out on it (I sense a mutiny) and get to putting on dresses that are half their size and double their class.

I’m gonna need 10 pounds of Crisco, a gallon of baby oil and a Goddamned miracle – STAT!

Kelly asks the question, “What if you sneeze?!” and I love her a little more. Kelly: 2! Sonja blames her rib cage but we all know that can’t be true since she had those removed for her career. But enough about that, Sonja then reminds us, for the 3rd time, that everyone’s there to support her as the grand marshall.

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 9.41.45 Am
Which is super awesome because this is Alex’s face every time Sonja says the words “Grand Marshall”.

I feel like Sonja’s going out of her way to piss Alex off more than actually just being selfish about the event. I hope so. If she is, I’m a fan. Off to the march!

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 9.46.10 Am
Awww. Sweetest threesome ever. I hope Joseph and his dreamcoat complete them.

The girls all escort Sonja to the holding tent where the real fun begins. Marriage Equality speeches? No. Love and Peace? Not quite. Harmony? Not a fucking chance. A group of attention-starved bitches fighting about who the day should all be about? CHECK.

Alex starts throwing a shit fit because Sonja made the event promise that SHE would be the only one to speak and now Simon (Alex’s not-gay-but-should-be hubbie) can’t speak about his love of unicorns, rainbows and giant cock. NOW I really hope that Sonja isn’t this delusional and is REALLY just wanting to piss Alex off because she’s being a total bitch about it. Best part? They have this argument loudly and front/center while Kelly’s screaming it’s not about them. I swear they’re the only people in the world that could out-drama a giant crowd of NYC gays at their own event. Someone’s going to get shot with a confetti cannon.

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 10.00.13 Am
Side note: Love this commercial as it’s a perfect example of how the housewives should be forced to move around in public.

Back to the show, the girls are really going at it (is this some sort of cross promotion with Bridezillas?! Love that show!) and there’s NO possible way the situation could get worse, RIGHT?!

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 10.11.13 Am
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!!

Jill shows up just in time to make a bad situation worse. And OF COURSE Alex is on her like Sonja on anything shaped like a dick. She immediately comments that “as a committee member she’s glad she could make it”. UGH. This is the one time Jill would be completely allowed to scream “SHUT THE FUCK UUUUUUP!!!!” and smack her. Alex gives me a friggin’ headache. I wanna shave her eyebrows so she’s unable to make the pronounced scowl that she does every five fucking minutes.

Finally it’s time for Sonja to make her big speech. She could get up there and deliver something greater than the friggin’ Gettysburg Address and you know Alex is gonna say, “It wasn’t good – SIMON WOULD’VE BEEN BETTER!!!”

Sonja starts by saying that she’s FINALLY going to get to say something that’s on her mind…

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 10.38.17 Am
Who saw this one coming?

Her speech is… well.. it’s… confusing. She goes all over the place and just shouts out catch phrases like “second class citizens” and “it’s raining men!” which infuriates Alex, as a first class bitch. Alex is right though (my skin just crawled), Sonja really fucked that speech up. Although, the organizers didn’t set the bar very high to begin with.

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 10.55.18 Am
“What do we want?!” “CLAAASSSSS!!!” “When do we want it?!” “NOW!!!”

Now we’re off to visit Cindy, our newest Housewife. She’s chilling with her homo(?) bro Howie and they discuss the wedding. Howie brings up Ramona and how she was talking about the guy that Howie’s girlfriend (he’s straight?!) dated before he passed away. The cigar incident. Henceforth known as the “I-Could-Give-a-Shit-This-Is-Boring-Me Incident”. Cindy’s upset that Ramona was talking smack but decides to let Howie deal with it.

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 11.04.20 Am
Though I feel like the real story here was why Cindy’s dressed like a homeless Olsen twin. Or a cast member of a community theatre production of
Cats. Or that she just went shopping at Stevie Nicks’ yard sale.

Back at the march, the girls all go to Alex and Simon’s to hang out – cause ya know – they weren’t just all screaming at each other and trying to punch each other in the throat. Alex starts out by “throwing an olive branch” at Jill and then 10 seconds later makes a snarky remark to her kid not to crawl up Jill’s leg. (see: Last season BS)

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 11.21.45 Am
Side note: He dresses like Cindy, has Kelly’s cheek bones, Ramona’s crazy eyes, Jill’s red hair, Luann’s dentures, Alex’s pale skin and Sonja’s herpes. Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the love child of the RHONYC!

Alex then announces that she wants to hear Simon’s speech. And he begins, “When I came to this country from Australia…”

Lumina Priscillaqueen 100610 Feature
Yes Simon, we all remember where you’re from and how you got here.”

Sonja, then makes a gay joke about Simon and ruins making fun of Simon for the rest of us. Jill tops it by making the “if gays wanna be miserable like the rest of us, let ‘em get married!” joke that’s been made 1.3 million times.

The next day, Sonja dons her grandmother’s smock and visits Brian who she’s currently schtupping (sp?). Brian says he’s nervous to reveal to her the painting he made of her.

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 12.00.05 Pm
If there’s a God, this is his painting.

Sonja says she knows he’ll get it right because she’s given Brian the “Sonja Pill” which may cause delusions of grandeur, cramps and gonorrhea.

Time for the big reveal!!!

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 12.04.15 Pm
HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!! It looks like a slutty Joni Mitchell!

Sonja is NOT impressed because she looks haggard, used and old. GEEZ Sonja, it’s not a glamour shot, a painting is a picture of your soul, so ya know, he’s spot on. HAHAHAHAHAAHA… She gives him tips and leaves him to pound his head against the wall.

Sonja then joins LuAnn for what looks to be a liquid lunch. The ladies start to dish n’ bitch about Alex and LuAnn says, “She found her voice, now it’s time for her to be quiet.” Aww so true. Even if Alex was right about Sonja being a psychotic “ME!!!” freak, she needs to learn there’s no winning arguing with this girls.

And now it’s TURTLE TIME! We’re at an event that Ramona bought a table at and as they place the name cards, Alex vents about Sonja at the march. You can tell it’s KILLING Ramona to have to take Alex’s side against Sonja. She says she’s caught in the middle. Let’s hope they tear her apart like a rag doll.

Sadly, Ramona didn’t invite Kelly because she’s “crazy”. Awww… Poor Kelly, sitting at home by herself on her horse and—

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 1.00.51 Pm
OH FUUUUUUUCK! INCOMIIIIIIING!!! BOOM!!!!

While Ramona scrambles to make a make a last-minute place card for Kelly, whom she never invited, Kelly chats with Sonja about what a bitch Ramona is (a la the St. John trip). Fuck me. These ladies are INSANE. I mean, how can they not be exhausted?! At some point I’d just sit there and be like, “Fuck it – I’m tired of fighting – say what you want – I’m getting drunk and eating this place card.” Maybe the producers give them a bonus check every time their head spins or they make someone cry blood.

Kelly says “Hi and Bye!” to Ramona and then peaces out (nice!) leaving Ramona to look like an asshole. Once all the ladies are seated, Sonja starts to bitch to Ramona about Alex and Simon…

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 1.42.12 Pm
While Simon eavesdrops and thinks, “Mmmm this cock is delicious”. Alex: It’s
chicken. Simon! Simon: It’s called COCK and I LOVE IT!!!

The next day at the park, Cindy, Kelly and LuAnn get together in the park to talk about hair in the wrong places since that’s Cindy’s career.

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 1.47.59 Pm
If I was a producer on the show I’d totally spike those drinks, and any others, with Rogaine and sit back and watch the insanity unfold.

 

Back with Sonja, she’s preparing for her big art show and has invited Alex “regardless of what happened at the last event”. Has anyone noticed that EVERY host starts their event by saying, “And I’ve invited ______ regardless of what happened at the last event.” HYSTERICAL! Bitches don’t learn and they love the drama. Thanks for the entertainment ladies! Speaking of….

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 1.53.22 Pm
Look! It’s Alex! And apparently she requested a costume from
Barberella that would flatten her chest the most. Kudos!

Ten seconds into the party Sonja confronts Alex and says she just wants to clear the air – by telling Alex that her husband is a flaming bully (I may be paraphrasing). It’s OK though, Alex is totally taking it well…

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 2.06.48 Pm
I’m sure she’s just practicing deep breathing and that’s not a jaw-dropping look of shock that’s going to lead to a shit storm.

Nope, it was’t the breathing! Alex fires back and starts screaming about what really happened (GOD I HATE HAVING TO AGREE WITH ALEX) and Sonja just loudly clucks back that Alex is being rude – mind you – after Sonja brought it all up right from the get go. What a bitch. And drawing attention to them while Alex is dressed like that? That’s just mean.

The fighting escalates to Sonja throwing Alex out of her house (which I’m pretty sure she planned on before she got there – it would explain why Alex wore body armor) and Alex just keeps trying to prove her point to no avail. LuAnn and Cindy walk right into the middle of it and it’s all kind of awesome. GOD I wish these women were allowed to hit each other.

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 2.16.01 Pm
Then suddenly Sonja takes a moment to show us how she spends her nights and weekends.

Alex finally leaves (sans dignity) and LuAnn remarks that she should’ve been kicked out for the dress alone. OH LUANN! Why am I loving you more and more. Is it your claaaaasssss? Yes.

Sonja explains to LuAnn and Cindy what happened and her side of the story is pretty much…

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 2.19.43 Pm
“And then Alex took a gun out and shot a puppy and ate a baby’s brains and told us she worships Satan and I was just like, Oh my God why isn’t this about MEEEEEEEE!!!!”

Meanwhile, Alex calls Simon while she’s out on the street and tells him everything. Though it’s probably the worst place for her to have this convo…

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 2.25.26 Pm
How rude! She doesn’t need buttons. She needs a whip and a sling.

Alex says she’s never been thrown out of a house or told she has bad manners. However she has been asked to leave thousands of times because of her outfits. So there’s that.

The chickens all cluck away at the event until it’s time for Sonja to reveal her painting. But not before she tells everyone that the artist, Brian, gets women to come to his house so they’ll pose naked. She’s classy folks. If Brian was thinking he would’ve painted Alex and surprised her with THAT.

And now….

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 2.33.38 Pm
Ummmm that’s NOT what he started with!!! It looks like he cut out a photo of her, enlarged her rack and slapped it on a Bob Ross painting.

Sonja loves it but the rest of the girls trash it and say she looks way BETTER than the painting. Really? To be honest, after this episode, I’m pretty sure THIS is the painting I would’ve made of her:

Screen Shot 2011-04-19 At 3.05.38 Pm
SONJA IS VIGO!!! DESTROY ALEX!!!

And that’s it! What did everyone think?! This was a pretty awesome episode and it’s only the beginning! I’m excited. Whose side is everyone on? Is Alex right but annoying? Is Sonja right but obnoxious? Are they all drama whores looking for their 16th minute? I love hearing from you all! Come on and dish it!

    Alex’s idea of “acting” is to slap on her “constipated” look anytime one of these dimwits opens their mouths. Not a very pretty look at that.

    Apparently Alex is going to spend the next 78 weeks (Season 4) trying to make The Mean Girls like her a little bit better than they have for the past 200 yrs but that won’t begin to happen until she finally rids herself of that barnacle she shleps around named Simon. Which won’t be soon as he has now become a full time “Housewife In Waiting” as he minces around making tea in his pink fluffy slippers!

    Sonja “STD” Morgan is a nympho lush in hot pursuit of breaking Ramona’s all time record for drinking and slurring the most often on cable tv. And it looks like she is about to close the gap.

    This show is so awful it is hard to give it up. The only way to add “drama” to this mix is to have Simon run off with Bobby to Scary Island as they sort bathing trunks by color over drinks.

    LOVED this recap! Vigo?! Seriously? AWESOME! It’s so perfect because I loved Sonja so much last season and now anytime I see or read anything about Sonja the line from Venkman runs through through my head, “Oh, Johnny, did you back the wrong horse.”
    Having her as Vigo?! Perfect. I bow down to back medication and it’s ability to create this type of perfection!

    Sonja is definitely suffering from “Carpathian Kitten Loss”. (Otherwise known as Real Housewives Second Season Syndrome). Having met both Alex & Simon, I have to say they are both gracious, friendly and completely lovely people. I know that doesn’t suit the purposes of this recap, but it’s true :) I’m so disappointed Sonja has turned into such an outrageous bitch. I really liked her last season, but seems she has taken the Nene Leakes, Teresa Guidice path of “I’m-a-STAR-now” “me-me-me” behavior. I feel for Alex, surrounded by these lunatics. She is clearly uncomfortable and needs to figure out the fine line between diplomatic and bitchy attack mode. That said, I’m glad RHONY is back. Miami was painful, and OC has become sooo vapid I can’t take it anymore.

    Thanx for a great recap. You’re too kind to these women. The Sonia graphic ala “ghostbusters” ! Priceceless. She is so gross to me. Here’s the deal: I am in a ‘may/december’ situation. My hubby is 20 years older and it’s not a Sugar Daddy Sitch. He was well off until a few years ago but my family is WEALTHY. I just love love this Silver Fox! There is a sad fact that he may be gone before me and there are no circumstances that I will whore myself out the way Sonya does to young BOYS! It’s a joke that she and the artist are together. It’s probably a lie, whatever. She’s gross, with all the sex talk. looking 50…C’mon!

    Silex: season 1=hate them, season 2=like them, season 3=Luanne is correct-shut up Alex!

    Jill Z: Great fun, you Complete Delusional Mess!

    Kelli: Same as Jill, except No Fun. It would be hard to pick between Kelli or Gary Busey as a seating companion at a dinner party. Not that I would be asked either way, thank God!

    Ramona: I like her.

    The reason I bring up my Silver Fox is that I feel it works that way but not the other (read:Cougar). I may get flack but I can back it up.

    Thank you again for a great recap!

    Since this is the first time I’m commenting here, I’d like to start off by saying how much I love these recaps! I’ve been reading the recaps on this site of the various househoes shows for the past two years and I think I enjoy the recaps more than the actual shows. So, thank you to BBitz, Flipit and all the others who write these!
    Okay, so my thoughts on this episode:

    First, did anyone else notice that Cindy’s brother’s girlfriend Carol looks an awful lot like Cindy? It’s so wrong on so many levels!

    Sonja just sickens me. It pains me to say it because I sort of liked her last season but her behavior this episode was just so shallow, vapid, and narcissistic that I almost thought I was watching Camille Grammer in some sort of Sonja skin-suit.

    The Cuntess – when she interviewed about how ‘annoying’ it was that Alex was going on about marriage equality, I swear I wanted to reach through the screen and slap her! Yeah – it’s just sooo obnoxious when people take serious issues so seriously! It seemed to me that Alex genuinely cares about marriage equality and was using the fact that she is on television to talk about why it is so important instead of just treating the march as a frivolous excuse to romp around in a wedding dress while pretending to care about a cause.

    So, I guess I’m team Alex (in spite of the dress)!

    I like the painting(s)!
    Alex was always so normal before and her “arguing” is pathetic.

    If you just really flat out do not give a fuck anymore you can get pretty nasty and throw out a “Well your speech was a piece of shit. It’s raining men? Good GAWD woman could you look more like an ill prepared cross eyed honeybadger. Oh, and I fucked Brian last month and I didn’t have to commission a painting to do it.”

    See. Nasty.
    Alex is arguing and not getting nasty because she STILL wants to be accepted. Poor thing.

    BBitz love you like a fat kid loves cake!

    Doesnt Sonja have a daughter? Her ex husband probably didn’t give permission for the girls to be filmed on the show – like how Tamra’s backdrop is just her oldest son, I think Simon didn’t allow the kids to be filmed this season since the divorce…

    My private little fantasy is that they all get kidnapped by Somali pirates when they go to Morocco, and sentenced to hard labor for 10 years. After a week of listening to their whining and fighting, the pirates decide to drop them off at the nearest port, where they’re sold into slavery to the Russian mafia. Sweet!

    Thanks for a great recap — this is the way I like to start my day!

    Great recap — sorry about your back injury, I know what type of unholy hell that can be…

    I think that Alexs main problem is that she is assuming that she is arguing with sane people. She is not. In normal society, speaking a calm, low voice would be appropriate. Sonja is not normal.

    Which is a shame as I loved Sonja last year. I think she has always had a bit of ‘I’m a Morgan, dahling’ going on but now it is added with being the ‘stah’ of the show. I’ve no doubt that she made the caveat that no other housewife(husband) would be allowed to speak at the march in order for her to appear. She has never denied it, just attempts to talk around it. In my opinion to pull that type of diva behavior at a charity is unforgivable – especially when she delivered the worst speech of all time. In her blog she said she had in fact wrote a wonderful speech, but somehow her notecards “mysteriously” went missing from her dresser. Really? Is she saying that someone (Alex?) stole her notecards? Gah….I’m over her.

    Bravo on the hilarious recap! I almost piddled laughing like crazy over your stick figure drawing of Sonja – it is much better than that grim reaper painting by the “won’t be pounding the Sonja anymore” boy-toy. Boy, she really went to Cuntville by express train. Not that Alex helped herself much with her bondage gear, which seemed to throttle her ability to speak clearly, but wowsy. All this and it is only the second episode.

    Great recap Bbitz! I agree, muscle realxes agree with RHONY.
    @emilyhartly-I’d go with Kelly. She almost never sticks around for the entire event, and I would stab Gary in the neck the second he started explaining to me all of his acronyms. Plus I would try to score points to see how many exaggerated faces I could get Kelly to make.
    And Bbitz, I would’ve bet on Howie playing for the home team as well, & the fact that his gf looks like his sister is really creepy @Ms. Anthro. And really, is what Ramona said really that big of a deal? She was just thrown off by the flippany way Howie said it was the dead guy’s cigar. Holy hell, when did Ramona become sympthetic? And why in the hell am I letting myself get dragged back into the Housewife Hell? No good ever come out of it.

    Ms. Anthropist: I agree with you about the “Cuntess”. She interviewed that Alex was annoying, going on and on about a charity…. Well. Let’s go back to Season 1 at the cancer charity lunch she was preparing with Bethenny and Ramona. How much did SHE go on about Ramona’s making a comment about her marrying an older man?!? “Here! At the cancer charity! How COULD she?!? I mean: HONestly!!! These people have CANCER!!!”

    I despise that classless wretch.

    Ditto on the Cindy look alike, I was also creeped out. Especially when they (Howie/Cindy) were in the kitchen talking, even their conversation seemed like a married couple and I felt dirty after watching. Blech! Alex’s face gave me an upset stomach several times, and although I understand where her “voice” is coming from, I too wish she would shut the fuck up!

    There are many things I don’t like about Luanne, but I do find her to have some really funny one liners. She could really get away with them if she would stop trying to convince everyone she is the queen of etiquette. Pick a side woman, and commit! Snark or manners, you can’t do both…..

    Also, who noticed Alex wearing the same outfit at Bethany’s Bday? And does she not own a support bra?

    @margo: thank you for voicing my thoughts. I dont watch the show but saw the wedding dress snapshop and thought….why doesn’t she have on a bra until that dress. She dont have much so it just looks like soggy lumps on her chest. I am a 36DD and never, never ever, leave the house without the “girls” tamed. Biggest misnomer is that girls that have small breasts thinks they dont need a bra…U need a bra!

    Sonja does have a daughter. I heard her mention it and both the bf and I took notice because we were surprised we just realized/learned that (and how else do you think she can live like that!? These gold diggers know what they’re doing… HAVE THE KID!)

    Poor Alex. How come she has to shut up? Everyone else can run their mouth all they want, they just don’t like being called out. I’m surprised (even in their blogs) no one acknowledged that Sonja attacked Alex at her house!?!?!? I will say Alex was being a little dramatic about the march BUT I understand the cause is important to her…I just feel like sometimes when everyone else around you is not taking something so seriously that YOU find serious–go hang out with someone else for a while instead of trying to convince them.

    I think Ramona earned her stripes last season, once she got a friend (Bethenny) out of the whole show she stopped being so insecure and I find I was able to understand her a little more and take her a little more seriously (or less).

    Every episode is so dramatic I have to say, I cover my head A LOT!

    I was so confused as to why Howie was telling Cindy about the wedding…I totally thought she was there. The gf is a spitting image. Very telling.

    I felt bad for Alex since Sonja seemed to start shit at her party and her main goal seemed to be to make an ass of Alex. I think Alex has become a huge pain in the ass and needs to STFU but Sonja was out of line IMO.

    Amazing that I am actually amused by The Cuntess and Kelly this season. They have had some good one liners.

    And what did Cindy say when she and the brother were talking in the kitchen? She was like ‘oh the twins are home’ and then said something like ‘I’ll see them later’ like this discussion about the wedding and the cigar was so much more important to address than to go see her children when they come home.

    Why in the world was Sonya carrying her purse around during the party in her own home? Manners for Golddiggers?

    I loved the recap BBitz! Great job.

    Sonja really made me mad this episode because she kept calling Alex out when she came in for the art show and then says Alex is the one who confronted her. It drove me up a wall. It is also pretty sad when Leather (Kelly) seems like the voice of reason on this show.

    Alex is getting kind of annoying and I agree with LuAnne that she needs to tone it down. She will never be Queen B 2.0. She ought to cut her loses and hitch a ride on Simon’s Technicolor jacket.

    I kind of hope LuAnne has some drama soon. I find it hilarious when she starts getting all high and mighty because she is obviously NOT CLASSY. I feel embarrassed for her.

    I want more TURTLE TIME!!! I do like the minimal Zarin time and minimal new girl time. Leather is just out of orbit like every episode. I do miss Queen B because it just feels empty without her. It will take me a few more episodes to get used to it and then I will be fine.

    Great recap again! <3

    I just love these recaps, BBitz! Helluva job you’re doing… I feel like I watch the damn show just to read what you’re gonna say!

    Case in point…I HAD to stop at page one just for…

    “Bitch please, you know you’re just excited to finally wear that thing without some guy in red patent leather pants standing next to you and saying, “I dooooooo!” with glitter shooting out of his ass.”

    OMG. I died. At. THIS! LMAO!!

    OK back to reading!

    I always liked Alex and thought the ladies thumb their noses at her by demonizing her as a social climber when most of them are there because of who they married.

    Is MENY are real cause?? Why would they get involved in this mess. Promising some one to speak then changing it at the last moment to suit another speakers wish. It distracted from the cause and turn it into a prop for reality TV fighting.

    To summerize for Sonja “Alex, I don’t want to fight but your husband is a POS.” I liked her last season. She brought wit into the conversation.

    BBitz, that was awesome! I love your range of 80s references: the kraken, vigo, AND Bob Ross. Can’t wait to see what else can you come up with…

    I whole-heartedly agree with Plathaddict, the Viggo thing had me dying!

    As for the whole Alex thing, I still like her, but only barely. She really needs to tone it down. Trust me Alex, the viewers GET IT! You win fans by just shrugging it off or maintaining a calm dignity (dignity being relative when your hubby runs around sporting tight red leather pants, your house looks like a bordello, and your idea of FABULOUS is attending the Met in leopard print).

    BBitz, first time commenter on you. Great recap. Sorry, but the only “c” in shtupping is Sonia! Simon’s song sounds so gay with the dance track that is is recorded to. Too fucking funny.
    Good luck with the back, I can sympathize!

    I get it. They day is about gay marriage equality. But, I don’t like Alex demanding Sonja let Simon speak at the event. The event wasn’t about SIMON, either! Its hypocritical and tasteless. Alex needs to get off her high horse and get rid of that horse face. (*neigh*)
