Ok, we need to lighten this thread up a bit!

This is Jimmy Fallon's "The Real Housewives of Late Night TV"

There is one housewife in particular that is JUST like a real "housewife". It's scary how well it's done.

If you were in front of me I'd hug you!!

I forgot how much I can't stand Alex...until last night when it all came rushing back! She is such a follower, try-hard, wanna-be and apparently thinks very highly of herself.

I swear I read everyone's opinion and I don't think there is a sane woman left in the country, and then there's you!

thank you!!

Oh and I saw the episode of Bethanny's show with her birthday party. Yeah, she's a real gem. I know people who have had parents that would make hers seem like Mary and Joseph, and they would never, ever act like that to people who were trying to help them or just cheer them up.

I'm so happy she's not on the show this year.

OMG... back atcha! I think we've bonded. LOL

OK, so who else thinks that Jill has had some "work" done? (click on link to see photo) ... it sure looks like it to me, IMO ...

When Jill Zarin hit the red carpet at the TV Land Awards this weekend, the "Real Housewife" was looking a lot less real than we'd come to expect.

The feisty redhead has been a standout personality on "The Real Housewives of New York" from the beginning, with fans gravitating toward her quick wit and hot temper, but now it seems she may be an attraction to audiences for the wrong reason.

Zarin's face looked dramatically different, and it wasn't just the lack of her signature bangs. The 47-year-old mother's skin appeared tanned, taut, and -- dare we say it -- a bit tucked?

Dr. Jennifer Walden, a Manhattan plastic surgeon who has not treated the reality star, believes that Zarin's rejuvenated appearances is the result of multiple plastic surgery procedures.

So what's the real deal with Jill's new look?

"It appears Jill Zarin has had injectables like Botox to her crow's feet and forehead, as well as possible fillers to the nasolabial folds, or laugh lines," says Dr. Walden. "Also, it looks like she has had a rhinoplasty (or nose job), which served to straighten and narrow her nose."

Despite the changes to her appearance, Zarin tells PopEater's Rob Shuter that she hasn't had anything done.

"If i did she would be the first to admit it. When I had by breast reduction I was very open about it," she says.

Just two days prior to showing off her updated look, Zarin appeared on Bravo's 'Watch What Happens Live' showing off another new style in a Madonna-inspired outfit, complete with corset top and high ponytail.

Following the appearance, Zarin thanked her friends and fans via Twitter for their high praises of her sexy new appearance.

Adult, Beth is an adult if I am not mistaken. At a certain age one must take personal responsibility and stop blaming their parents for all of their problems and issues. Beth was dressed to the nines selling herself at an event that her father was very much a part of. He is in the KD Hall of Fame . Why ride your father's coat tails, if he was so abusive and not a part of your life? Why show up at his event, in the sense his stage and attempt to use his achievements in life to make a dollar for herself. Why even associate your name with his legacy as a champion trainer?

Yes her mother showed pictures of the very happy, fabuous life they had as a family. While defending herself ever so slightly against the barage of insults on her daughter's part.
Yes Beth had the opportunity to have a fabulous education.

If you read my initial post, one of reason I state my dislike for Beth is her calling herself an orphan. I would love for her to meet an adult woman who aged out of the foster system.

Maybe I am jaded but, I do not believe one word any of these lady say as fact, they are selling themselves and their families to the highest bidder. It is pure entertainment. I do take offense when an adult woman is constantly blaming her parents and for her obnoxious behavior.

ITA ... I used to like Bethenny because I thought she was at least the most "real" one out of the bunch of "housewives", but after watching the last few episodes of "Bethenny Ever Happen", my opinion of her has definitely changed ...

I am also tired of listening to her blame her childhood for just about everything ... she's 40 years old, it's time to let it go and move on ... her behavior at her Birthday Party was totally obnoxious and there was no excuse for it, IMO ... when she was "crying" in the bathroom with Jason I thought it was all phoney and she was just trying to make Jason feel bad for her and not be mad at her for her behavior ...

I also don't like the way she treats Jason's parents ... they seem to be really nice, down-to-earth people and she doesn't know how lucky she is to have in-laws like them ... when she sshhhh'd Jason's mother at Byrn's baptism luncheon, I just wanted to smack her ... and then when Julie (her assistant) sshhhh'd her too, I was like, who does she think she is?! ... I don't know, it just seemed very disrespectful to me ...

In the beginning I thought Bethenny & Jason made a cute couple, but now I don't know how Jason puts up with all of Bethenny's shenanigans & outbursts and her always making snarky and rude comments about his parents or his hometown, or his friends, etc. ... they just seem like complete opposites to me ... and remember last season when Ramona was walking across the Brooklyn Bridge with Bethenny and she told her that she was probably going to mess things up with Jason too? ... well, I'm thinking now that Ramona may have actually been onto something ... and I guess time will tell ... but it's all just my opinion ...

Let's talk about Simon what is up with his clothes and the weird obsession with his wife. And now he has "left the hotel to start a social media company"
Gosh, I certainly hope it is not geared towards fashion, he looks hideous all the time. Ridiculous

I totally get Alex. Jill has made her out to be dowdy and somehow beneath her. I also thinks that Jill does not think that Alex is suitable to hang in the same circles as Jill. Personally, I like Alex's sense of social responsibility. I actually enjoying watching Alex who IMO is a gazillion times intellectually smarter than Jill, continue to corner Jill and call her out on all the idiocy and lies that come out of Jills mouth.

Can't stand Sonya or LuAnne, they both give me the heebie jeebies. Ramona reminds me of the high school wall flower who married well and has become successful and has this NEED to share her "wisdom" with the world. She is slowly turning into a mean girl and I am liking her less and less.

I was in Hazleton today. It's a hole. Bethanny is right about that. I think the jokes she makes about his parents or his friends or Jason being from there are funny. It really is a podunk town now.... very small town America that was the perfect place to raise a family when Jason was growing up, but it has become run down, dangerous in many areas, and really just not nice.

When I started going to Hazleton (every Tuesday for work) I was told by many people that at least I was going there during broad daylight. Sad, but that is the state of affairs in Hazleton.

I do! Her nose is a totally different shape - how can she deny it? And I think she looks better in the before photo.

 

[klj27]

Tonight's episode left me so frustrated. I really didn't have an opinion about Sonya before tonight, but now yuck yuck yuck.

 

[tomtoot]

Alex modeling is sort of a joke... she is attractive but a model? Come on.

I think she looked better before too!!

 

[amg35]

oh lord. Soo, Sonja is an idiot, but.............I still can't stand Alex. Please, the only reason they were upset that Simon couldn't speak is the same reason Sonja wanted to be the only one to speak. They all want attention!!!! It wasn't for the "cause", it's self gratification, and it annoys me even more that Alex and Simon can't own up to it.


And, I loved when Kelly said "Ramona didn't invite me, but Mr. Gucci did". Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Kelly, she's nuts, but harmless and silly.

Ugh, please, no more Alex. I can't take her. She's still trying to ride Bethanny's coat-tails when Bethanny probably doesn't even care about her!

I love this show!!

OMG...Sonja was sooooo annoying last night! "It's my day!" UGH!! Alex need to lighten up! She is wound so tight! She seems to be doing the same thing she accused Jill of last season....creating drama! Seems like she is going to have issues with everyone this season!

BTW....What the heck was Simon wearing last night!!! Good lord!

 

[jrmasm]

Sonja is going to need to do some serious damage control after last night's show.

 

[bdcp]

Alex was right when she made the "mean girl in high school" statement last season except she should have said it to Sonja and LuAnn also. They are so cliquey and immature most of the time. What I love is the happiest married of the group are Alex and Simon and Ramona and Mario. They don't "need" to be part of the clique the way the others seem to. I think Jill is a user, back stabbing, self-absorbed, bitter, pathetic woman. And Sonja, well there's a word for someone who gets around as much as she apparently does. I don't think she knows how to be happy or alone. And Luann, don't get me started. For someone who thinks she's so classy, why the heck is she doing the show? Class is not part of it at all. I find her abrasive as well as just out and out snobby.

Watching las night, all I could think was that Sonja needs therapy because she really has self-esteem issues. To "have" to be the center of attention like that is truly pathetic.

 

[Kellydelly]

I am watching last night's show right now, but I think the only difference in the Jill photos that stands out is the bangs or no bangs . Maybe she got her skin lasered or resurfaced and it looks fresher, but she doesn't look that different to me.

 

[Kellydelly]

OMG, I want to reach into the tv and slap Sonja. She starts the conversation with Alex about the march and then tells her she has bad manners for discussing it???? What a piece of work !

 

[bjgrazi]

I had a hard time watching them. Too much confrontation. It seemed scripted too. There was where they were back at Alex's house and it seemed like they said okay go to her. I use to enjoy them, but now all it is, is cat fights and back stabbing. Not fun to watch all.

ITA ... last night's epiosode gave me a ... enough with the bickering already ... it's gotten old ...

Did anybody else notice how much Alex is drinking lately? ... I know they ALL always seem to have a drink in their hand, but it just seems like Alex is guzzling it down more than before ... just an observation ...

 

[heartsy77]

I love the new Alex and her new "set" she grew! I think that she is done taking crap and I'm glad! Yes I think she is a little socially awkward; however, I am sure I would be too given the uppity cliquey world they live in!

Jill I'm so over her.
Romona is growing on me!
Kelly- complete wackadoo!
Sonya- needs to grow up and stop seeking attention!
Luann- sometimes I like her but she is a follower
Not sure about the new girl..

That is my synopsis of the NYC girls YTD!

THANK YOU!!!

I was so tempted to call WWHL last night to ask her about this. The whole story line is just so contrived and silly. I love the show and the drama but in real life they need to get over themselves.
