You are so right about the countess's "growing out a bad hair cut" look. That's been bothering me since the first previews for this show. Also, I totally think that there is something wrong with Alex and her husband.

This recap was tremendous. Funny, witty, go and write for SNL, it hasn't been so funny since Tina Fey left.

I love the scene where Bethenny and Alex are getting ready for the snow. Bethenny asks her what they are doing for the weekend and Alex replies (in her most "I am better than you" voice):

We're going to an open house at a music school.

Simon sponsors a film festival.

To which Bethenny replies she is watching reality TV and eatting ice cream. She goes on to say that Francois is learning Mandarin and that he is interning at the UN.

I have to admit, Bethenny says a lot of things I would like to say. I wanted to dislike her, but I can't since she is the only one who seems to see things how they really are. And how they are is, a bunch of rich snobs who think because they are showing off in a most vulgar fashion, they are socially above the rest of us.

The truth is, the rest of us are glad we don't know people so self-absorbed and greedy. How sad that Alex is planning to make that poor kid play violin at age 3. What about T-ball, soccer, etc. Wouldn't it be great if Francois grew up to be a pro-football player and changed his name to Frank?

That's what I'm hoping for anyway.

Great job.

gosh, I love this show, it's like this women have never seen reality tv, anything you do is being recorded, the fact that the countess is so rude to hired help, makes her look bad, I repeat jill is the normal one, but a I am liking bethany, she just says it like it is, that deep seated homosexual comment, ha still cracks me up! and ALex is too much of a poser/social climber to take seriously.

I don't understand how some of these women are so rich and yet have the worst hair I have ever seen. Alex definitely takes the cake, but Ramona and The countess come in a close second and third. I really liked Jill until the end, and I still do, but I did not lie the way she acted a the fashion show. Ramona is such a mess!!! Great recap and I loved the Christian comparison - so right!

HAIR INTERVENTION NEEDED:

I agree. Why do these women have such bad hair?

The Countess...what haircut IS that or what haircut did it USED TO BE? Is it some form of the 1970s Dorothy Hamill Wedge? Countess, please wash the hair once in a while.

Betheny has really beautiful silky, shiny and smooth hair. I'd trade hair with her in a New York Minute!

Even Simon...Darling, what is that sitting on your head? It looks like a piece of brown Astro Turf. And Alex? They pick out each other's clothes...can't they critique each other's hair?

Ramona needs help big time. Yet that cute husband of hers has great hair.

Jill, I like you. I wish you hadn't pulled that diva move at the Fashion Show. And I won't even comment on the hair in your family. I'm checking into the Witness Protection Program for even thinking it.

Other than hair, I LOVE these NYC Housewives.

I agree, their hair is the worst. I don't know whose hair looks worst, Alex or Ramona.

And why is Simon wearing a hairhat? It was bad enough in a speeedo, but then to watch him get all dressed up so he could sit behind his wife and rub her shoulders at the fashion show was just creepy.

I think that Alex and Simon secretly hate the fact that they are Americans and wish they were European.

I just loved the 'scene' at fashion week, and Simon's 'I am too sexy for the street corner pose'. it was awfully nice of him to visit a tent show for a designer they hadn't heard of. To think Nobel Prizes are given for so much less. I am on pins and needles for tonight's Countess Tradgedy (gasp - chidren with head lice), perhaps she could lend the nit comb to Alex to run through that rats nest she calls a hair style? One might wonder though, how do the spawn of royalty acquire lice? Doing work with the indigent? Perhaps helping to staff a soup kitchen? Hmmmm....

Hey, I love the countess' tousled hair! It looks young and fun. It also makes her look "low maintenance" like she doesn't need to be shellacking with a 1/2 can of hairspray and running around town with helmet hair!

I also love this recapper: Yental Patrol, you are hilarious! I can't wait for this week's recap. I'm wondering what you think of Bethanny's eating habits, or the lack of them. Is she anorexic? She's writing a book on being naturally thin? One word: starvation.

I have to disagree with you about Allison. She really surprised me in the nightclub, making small talk with Victoria. I thought she finally seemed confident and comfortable. It occurred to me that she is more at ease with her peers, than acting cool and poised for a camera crew.

Hey, where is the page for all recaps on this show? When I click the link at the bottom of the recap, the page is blank. And the show is nowhere to be found on TVgasm's list of "all shows."

You should really read Bbitz stuff, your review was just like watching the show with PriPi from DWTS smile and nodd. Let's add a little spice or give it up to bBitz.
