It's my secret shame. I'm hooked.

I have to post this hilarious review I just read of Chapter 1 of the STJ saga. Too much fun!

The Real Housewives of New York Review: I’m on a Boat Part 1

These women have the stupidest ideas.
Last week, and this week, on Real Housewives, we get to see Ramona take her BFFs (uhh ok) on a vow renewal bachelorette party on a yacht in St. John. Like any normal person, ya know? Things got weird pretty quickly given the varying degrees of narcissism and insanity in the group.
My girl Bethenny was just coming back from LA where her father passed away. She didn’t have a relationship with him to begin with, so the whole ordeal was more than a little depressing and just kind of ahdoahofihewngh. So she was in a pretty odd emotional state, but was looking forward to getting some sun and girl time slash relaxation in.
Alex kept mentioning how the people who weren’t there were missing out (AHEM JILL, COUGH COUGH COUGH). Then kept bringing it up how much the other girls were missing out, by saying over and over again how they wouldn’t talk about them because they aren’t there. Vicious cycle.
Ramona had free and easy access to alcohol, so enough said. Sonja was just…there. I love how Ramona took her, acting like she is some lifelong friend, when really I think Sonja just has some really good blackmail on her or something from the 1980s. And I now think Kelly is the worst of them all by her mere existence as a psycho.
All was well in the world of the privileged until lunchtime. Everything was fine until Kelly became a lunatic. The girls once again brought up how happy they were to be there, how lucky they were, and how anyone who wasn’t there just didn’t matter because they weren’t there. And who wasn’t there? Jill. Kelly couldn’t take it anymore, and called all the ladies out on being bitches pretty much and petty women who have nothing better to do other than talk about Jill. I would want to agree with Kelly, but then she just went crazy. She kept saying that she wasn’t that kind of girl to talk about other people. News flash: you are on a trashy reality tv show, talking about other people pays your bills. So I didn’t like her bull right off the bat. So Kelly tried to take the high road and leave lunch before Ramona even had time to take a sip of her pinot. Also, it is pretty hard to be all high and mighty when you are in a losing battle with an automatic door.
After Kelly’s first exit, things just fall apart. She kept talking about rainbows and ponies in her world (?) and all the other women could be mean. Whatever, sometimes airing out your dirty laundry with people can be cathartic and Kelly needs to get over herself, or adjust her meds. Things seemed like they were going to get better when Ramona found out there was a Hooters boat next door. She wanted to go to the other boat because it basically promised a good time. While the women were getting good and liquored up before heading over to boobville, Sonja was trying to give Kelly some advice about tending to her sexual needs, and Kelly took that opportunity to call pregnant Bethenny a ho-bag. It’s fine if Kelly doesn’t want to sleep around, but wtf left field? She then went on to attack Bethenny over the fact that she claims to be a chef when she is really a cook, and keeps calling her creepy, which just makes me thing Kelly is totally creepy.
Somehow they all stumble over to the Hooters boat. Ramona is stumbling, Alex is holding her back, Kelly is psycho, and poor Bethenny is sober. Luckily Alex, Ramona, and Bethenny make it to some bar to dance the night away, and order is restored in a drunken haze during the night.
Meanwhile back in New York, Jill was doing nothing I cared about and LuAnn was recording her single “Money Can’t Buy You Class.” Woof. What the hell. The only thing worse than LuAnn’s singing and the producer insisting on calling her “The Countess,” was her horrid date with that creep show later in the night. Ew. There are no words for how uncomfortable I felt and how bitter I was towards Bravo for making me watch that ordeal.
Stay tuned for Chapter 2!

HA! That review was probably funnier than the show itself.
This was my favorite part:
"It is pretty hard to be all high and mighty when you are in a losing battle with an automatic door."

Can't argue with that.

oh god, I'm sorry, my son's girlfriend dvr'd the show this past week and we're watching it tonight....it's got to be the dumbest show I've ever seen, .....these women are so screwed up and vain, but I guess it sells advertising.

They rented that manse on tip of Peter Bay, wow, nice place. The scenes were fun for sure, but wow that show is stupid.

guess I'm in the minority on this one.....sorry....

I feel so lucky that I don't get the channel that they are on. Sounds like a dumb show.

May be one of the richest divorced NYC housewives ever to visit STJ, but apparently that didn't impress cops in the Hamptons... :shock:
Hoping for a USVI ticker in 2013!
