The Real Housewives of New York City Recap: "You Die With Clothes On"

The Real Housewives of New York City, Episode 2: "New House, Old Grudges"

"Forgive.  Sounds good.  Forget.  I don't think I could."  - The Dixie Chicks.

This is an adage that the ladies of NYC firmly live by.  There have been so many apologies thrown around over the years.  Are any of them genuine?  If you are accepting the apology, but still holding a grudge, does it even matter if it's genuine or not?  Should Luann be wary of Ramona's apology?  For years, Ramona took every opportunity to rub in Luann's face that her marriage to Mario was a sham perfect and Luann's was a joke and was in an open marriage, maybe the biggest insult that you could level against the Countess.  Now here stands Ramona in the house Luann is selling that she shared with the Count, people have just finished picking through it and here stands Ramona desperately trying to squeeze a tear out of those humongous bug eyes that are so Botoxed I'm not sure how she even blinks.  It's an odd moment, but very Ramona.  When she sets her mind to something, she does it and Luann is right to be wary since I'm sure that within a couple of episodes she will have gotten on Luann's bad side.

The Real Housewives of New York City Seventh Season Premiere Recap: "The Wealthiest Homeless Person in Manhattan"

The Real Housewives of New York City, Episode 1: "The B Is Back"

You can fanboy/girl/person over anything really.  It doesn't need to be nerd related.  One of the things that I fanboy over pretty hard, are the various Bravo Housewives franchises.  My favorite is far and away the New York brood.  To celebrate this weeks premiere, I've gotten out my statement necklaces, I have a Ramona Pinot in one hand, a Skinnygirl margarita in the other, my well read copy of "Widow's Guide" and I may or may not be sporting a stylish blouse from The Countess Collection.  

The big news in regards to this premiere is that original Housewife, Bethenny Frankel, has returned.  Bethenny was a cast member for the first three seasons before exiting for her own successful spin off.  Bethenny, maybe more than any other Housewife, has leveraged her exposure on the reality series to really become successful.  Bethenny became a multi millionaire when she sold her Skinnygirl brand and landed on the cover of Forbes.  Things have been not great for Bethenny these past few years, well as not great as they can get for a multi millionaire.  She and her husband, Jason Hoppy, are going through a messy divorce and custody battle over daughter, Brynn.  Her talk show failed after less than one season.  It's easy to see Bethenny's return as someone who has failed returning to where she first found success with her tail between her legs, but can someone as rich as Bethenny really be considered a failure?  Will her return to RHONY get her back on top?  Let's check back in with Bethenny and the rest of the ladies.
