Is it me or is there something a bit unsettling about Ramona?

I agree and Alex and her Husband Simon make me feel sick. He is so gross Grin

PigeonPair · 26/08/2011 21:06

Is Alex the woman with the twins? Her husband is so camp!!

CarrieOakey · 26/08/2011 21:09

Ramona is bonkers!! Which one is Alex? I quite like the Countess but it's not as good as the OC wives - not yet anyway Grin

thenightsky · 26/08/2011 21:22

No way as weird as the OC wives.

ghostofstalbans · 26/08/2011 21:23

the english bloke with his son francois is a loon

CarrieOakey · 26/08/2011 21:25

I find him a bit creepy ghost

PigeonPair · 26/08/2011 21:35

I think he is Australian isn't he?

cheekeymonkey · 27/08/2011 10:23

I think his wife may be a 'fag hag'

I am pining for the OC housewives which I had on series link, but I think I could get into this.

What a bunch of weirdies!

Having been in US recently, I saw that Bethenny (she of the 50p face) has her own spin off show.

cheekeymonkey · 28/08/2011 19:45

I pine too for the OC, I don't think the NY women have the depth of personality to make them interesting

Just you wait, 'Enry 'Iggins, just you wait....

I've watched this and the next series of NY and it's really worth watching. The countess is utterly repulsive, she's so far up her own bum it's ridiculous. Csn't stand people who have notions about themselves.

And Jill runs with the hare and the hound.

Betheny's the most grounded of the lot, she's super smart.

O keep watching cos it's great!

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 29/08/2011 22:13

Right, I love the Beverly Hills one so I'm going to record the NY one on ITV2 when I'm at work tomorrow.

Also on Bio channel on Sky is Housewives of Miami - its on a Tuesday night but repeated over the week. Another bunch of friendly or bitchy women!!! I'll let you decide Grin

cheekeymonkey · 31/08/2011 13:06

ooow! Have missed that one!

Simon and Alex creep me out and talk about social climbing,they are trying too hard to be like the others it's painful to watch,plus Simons face is painful to watch anyway

cheekeymonkey · 01/09/2011 10:22

OOO, thanks muffintop I caught the Miami one last night but alas, there is only 1 episode left!
The one that married the French guy looks like his Mother! Is she older than him?
There is some serious mis-use of plastic surgery going on in Miami!

I am so glad that I am not the only one that watches this. I think Simon and Alex are swingers, it was the creepiest thing EVER when they took Betheny aside on the boat and Simon told her she was a 'Ferrari', bleeeuurghhh. Also I have unfortunately seen Alex's nude photos that were 'leaked'.

cheekeymonkey · 08/09/2011 13:00

Eugh! I've just eaten! Angry

I've become addicted to this over the last week or so.

Alex and Simon become creepier by the episode. I shuddered at their expressions when they were saying goodbye to their masseuse after their treatments.

Ramona reminds me very much of one of my ex bosses. Speaks as she finds a little too much. Her husband seems very sweet.

Jill and Bethenny are my favourites to watch. I started off thinking the Countess was ok, but she's going down in my estimations every episode. I don't like the new one, Kelly, at all.

cheekeymonkey · 09/09/2011 11:21

Ha ha, when Kelly was on the horse I couldn't tell which was riding which!

Simon is REALLY pervy, eugh - the way he looked at the masseuse when he got out of the sauna!

Ramona looks like she's on the kind of drugs I could do with to wake up! Wonder if she drinks a lot of esspresso?

Countess is a stuck up caaa who treats her house maid like a slave, and had a go at Bethany for using her first name in front of the lowly chaffeur WTF?

I did laugh when the housekeeper came back from her holidays. LuAnn asked if she had jet-lag. When she replied yes, she told her ok take it easy today. The proceeded to give her a list of jobs as long as my arm! Then asked for presents! The children seemed to love her which was very sweet.

It goes without saying that I'm not watching it for intellectual stimulation. For me it's something light hearted to watch while ironing/tidying up or putting my feel up for an hour (1st trimester of pregnancy, very tired).

I suppose I am interested in seeing how wealthy people spend their time and money and really it's no different from watching any other reality show. If people weren't interested in other people these programmes wouldn't be on presumably. That said, it is the only one I watch. Oh no, actually it's not. I've just remembered TOWIE starts again soon...
