I record them every day Olly and watch them later.  I haven't watched both of yesterdays yet, started on the first and got to where Ramona is talking about having another baby.  

 

I'm really tempted to order the box sets from some of the others.

I have been recording Australina Masterchef and our Professional Masterchef to watch early evening when the soaps are on, and am waiting for the final Jersey shore too [they cancelled that just in time the whole place got blown away in the Hurricane ] . .

 

I used to record CDWM and 4 in a bed and Coach trip for my replacement soaps watching time but got fed up of CDWM contestants being so goddam awful and 4 in a bed and Coach trip haven't been filmed for a while . .

 

Also I am not getting thru my months worth of backlogged series that I record too hence my almost full V+ box, only get 80 hrs on that, 20 if you record HD . .   the amount  will reduce over the Holiday period as there is usually crap on the TV then so I need stuff to watch and all the series have taken a break then too..  

 

I have my evening routine down just how I like it.. while preparing dinner I watch earlier in the day recorded stuff til around 9pm when something decent may or may not be on and I settle in to watch that, on a slight delay to ffwd thru the adds, and eat my dinner... . . then watch the 10pm news then go on to the series I've recorded.. I've got almost OCD about my evenings now, am a bit of a saddo but have nowt else to do so TV is my only company .. woe betide if the phone rings, tho thankfully that is rare

ooooooh  yeah it was the best reunion show ever. . today's one is just as good if I recall correctly..  Alex gets short shrift from the Countess and Jill in these ones.. they are really nasty and rude to her. .

 

Yeah the second of today's shows is the first of series 5.. woohoo.. tho am not liking the fact that 4 out of the 7 from series 4 are gone

 

If you google bravo tv you can get all their blogs and updates on all the HW's.

Gawd I am such a dreadful square eyes. . me and my TV routine stuff . .

 

and now I am spamming the thread too

I'm not a big Alex fan, but they are all so dismissive of her and her opinions.  The Countess, now there's a woman that needs taking down a peg or three. 

Spam away.  It's such a relief to know I'm not the only person watching and enjoying it.

I am hooked ever since I saw the New Jersey one when C4 showed it .. then I went looking for all the others. .wish I could remember who showed the Atlanta one but think it is no longer on UK TV. .no mention of it on Sky Never Miss.. 

 

Just trying to watch some of my V+ stuff til today's lot start. . I hate that David Dickinson smarmy git on ITV1  I watch on +1  so have a bit of time to fill in..   wish they weren't showing 2 a day tho. . it goes by too quickly. .plus there's less Judge Judy afterwards  

ooooh  doesn't she just..

I saw the 2nd part of the reunion, the ladies were loud and very vocal as usual lol but it was good Oh I watched the two music vids of the Countess, she's not a singer lol but have to say in the first one...Money can't buy you class she looked really glamorous, they're not great musically but I can see they were done for fun and dare I say it the chorus of Money is quite catchy, I couldn't stop singing it lol

 

Saw the first ep. of Series 5, took me a while to get used to the names of the new ones and some looked alike so I got a bit confused who was who lol. Heather and Ramona are really going to butt heads by the look of it. I find Ramona a bit exhausting when she gets really wound up and hyper with arms flailing and eyes bulging. I'm missing the 4 who left Oh thanks for the tip about Bravo tv

I've not seen the new series episode yet. .was saving that for later this evening.. at least I won;t have Jill's Yenta sp? voice ringing in my ears after watching a show, [when Bethanny was in there too both their voices stayed with me for ages after ]  tho I did want to see her, Kelly, to some extent, and the Countess get their   comeuppance one day.. that'll never happen now

It might take me a while getting used to the new women as the series has come straight after Season 4 with all the ones I'm used to. To me Bethenney and Jill were typical New Yorkers in accent and personality, the other women must have moved to NYC at some point in their life as their accent is different.

 

I didn't dislike any of the women who've left but at times was irritated by the way they spoke or behaved. I used to like Alex as she wasn't as confrontational as the others but in Series 4 she changed. On the other hand I wasn't sure about Kelly in earlier Seasons but I came to really like her in Series 4, she mellowed out and seemed happier and more balanced. Will be interesting to see what happens in this new Series...well confrontations won't be new, that seems to always be ongoing lol but makes for interesting viewing

Oh I also love Judge Judy another typical outspoken New Yorker  

I have just watch the latest RHNY with the new additions,WOW! Ramona and her husband think it's the Ramona show but I do miss Jill.

I also miss Jill  Ramona is always in her own world of Pinot Grigio LOL.

Over several series I've noticed how two of the women have copied Bethenny's success. Bethenny created Skinny Girl which earnt her millions. Ramona with her love of Pinot Grigio brought out her own own brand as she's obsessed with drinking Pinot - even though she knew nothing of the Italian region it came from lol. Bethenny brought out her brand of....oops can't remember the name now but similar to Spanx, Ramona then did the same thing with her own variation and so did Jill. How all these women find the time for all their different companies and their family is a mystery to me lol

saw the new one. . need time to get used to the 3 new cast members. .  and can't really tell them apart yet... they all have the Jewish nose too [LuAnnes BF has a huge one] which makes it harder to tell them apart as well and is unlike the Beverly Hills HW's who all have the same nose surgeon... Seems Andy Cohen is recruiting from the synagogue for cast members now

 

Says she with the 'Jewish' nose herself and being brought up Catholic, tho 'jewish' is a religion not a race but everyone used to think I was Jewish cos of my honk..  

 

 

Ramona seems even more hyper and drunker and up herself too 

 

She sold the brand name for 120Million

 

think she had partners so wouldn't have got all the cash herself but I bet she still ended up with a pretty penny. .Jill must have been fuming that her poor downtrodden BFF ended up richer than her

 

Oh and Ramona in the first series drank champagne on general vino most of the time .. she only went onto Pinot in the second one and by the third then branded her own and never stops talking about it now.. over the yrs they pushed their charities at first then in later ones pushed their own product and did  less of the charity stuff unless it pushed their products too

There's an awful lot of teeth between the new cast members.

oh definitely .... I've often watched them all cat fighting and wondered who was "really" at fault? .... so confusing, I couldn't make up my mind

 

I always felt sorry for Jeana Keough (the 1980's playboy playmate) Her husband treat her like sh*te as did her kids & she always seemed such a nice person.

 

And I also used to love it in the 1st series when Jo de la Rosa, who at that time was in a doomed relationship with Slade Smiley ..... Slade wanted Jo to be a stay at home mom .... & all Jo wanted to do was to go out and partaay!!

 

I think the first series was probably one of the best, imo

Angel is that the same Slade that is now with Gretchin? I might order the first series on DVD. I've just been reading online that during filming with the girls on St Barts, LuAnn got caught cheating on Jacques. You know LuAnn the one who thinks she is so above everyone both socially and morally. LuAnn dear you are in actual fact just a dirty cheating skank!

hahahaha @ Cinds .. that is why Lu Anne is annoyed at Ramona as well as the comment about being a weekend mum.. a few seasons back Ramona let slip that LuAnne had cheated on her ex husband too as well as him cheating on her. . not that I like Ramona, she's an inverted snob as much as LuAnne is the opposite, but she hit a nerve with the 'Countess' who likes to appear as white as the driven snow on the outside at least..

 

and Yeah that is the same Slade who is with Gretchen. .he's been thru a few of the past HW's of OC

 

I saw that when Ramona said that. I'm really not liking the new girl Heather, I just imagine she made some girls life miserable when she was at school. ION I've just ordered the first season of Orange County & New Jersey. That's a rainy Sunday afternoon with a bottle of wine sorted.

Aviva is worth the watching, she seems to be all over the place carrying the gossip

I don't mind Heather ,she has put Ramona back in her kennel.

I agree about Aviva, I think she's a bit like Jill was in wanting to know all about the gossip. If I was Heather I wouldn't have invited Ramona to London with the other women either and Ramona's furious about that. They're not getting along so why would either of them want to be together on the trip. Ramona's even more of a piece of work this series than the previous lol, maybe it's the Pinot that makes her so volatile Atm Carol seems to be the more sensible of the 3 new ones, time will tell

I didn't know there were other series's! I did see some of the first series and enjoyed it

RHONY series five is being shown on sky ch118 at 3.40 (double bill) also available on demand via Sky Red button.

I enjoyed today's footage of their trip to London, Heather chose a great hotel and penthouse suite...wonder if Ramona watched that episode and felt envious lol.

 

I like Sonja, she's a bit of an air head at times and loves playing up to her personna of the one who loves sex and flirting but she's funny to watch. She messed up though when arranging Heather's 5 year anniversay party and hiring that band lol, what a disaster they were As usual we had scenes of Ramona losing the plot when Heather tried to talk to her, does she ever listen to what someone's trying to say without interrupting them and causing a scene at social events, her hubby must get embarassed at her ott behaviour.

I'm just watching the London episode now. The penthouse is fabulous. I am loving that LuAnn is seemingly threatened by Princess Carol.

I did laugh when LuAnn said that Carol or was it Heather had given her inspiration for her next song

LuAnn is very threatened by Carol and Ramona is the same with Heather, after all Ramona has her wine in Target!

Sonia's party planning leaves alot to be desired. 

Darn had to skim over the later posts. . am 3 or 4 episodes behind and mustn't see spoilers. . wish they weren't showing 2 a day, it goes too quickly..  I like to savour each one.. a real guilty pleasure. . saving some up for holiday period when TV is so bad..  but V+ box is virtually full

 

Ramona is even more hyper this series and more nutty/delusional than ever..  and what's with Mario in every shot more or less.. methinks she is trying to show how good their marriage is after the affair rumours of series 4..  

 

it's on ITV 2 for those who don't have Sky

I almost choked when she threw that one out. 

 

OMG the party that Sonjia organised for Aviva and her husband was atrocious.  What the heck was with that band she booked?  They were the sort of act I would expect to see buzzed off in the first rounds of Britains got No Talent.

Ahhhh Angel I couldn't see this post when I asked if it was the same Slade.  There's a lot of sharing among the housewives isn't there. So Slade was with a housewife in an earlier series, didn't Alexis' husband have a relationship with one of the other women (I think Gretchen) before they married.  And then we have Aviva's ex Harry who has also slept with LuAnn & Sonjia.  Share & share alike so it seems. 

Slade was with Jo in the first OC. . he was loaded then but lost it all... then he got with a new HW in the season break, the one that worked for vivki when her office was at home, then she met a really rich bloke married him and left after two series. .think there was another one he tried it on with too before getting with Gretchen and this time timing it so he got on the show again. .they call him the 6th HW

 

I am scrolling quickly past the stuff from episodes I've not seen yet so not being rude with not commenting just not wanting to peek before I see it. .

 

Yeah Alexis hubby had been with the newest of the OC ones, forget her name but it isn't Gretchen, ages before he was with Alexis but told the old flame to not say anything ..

 

I watch too much TV

Theres no such thing Olly 

Remember on BB LF you could watch them all just faffing for hours and it was oddly comforting. I haven't really got into any other subsequent reality series like the Come Dines, the Housewives or the Shores . Hope something comes along. 

Olly, scroll past this lol

 

omg, Aviva's Dad! how inappropriate were some of his remarks to her. Considering she knows what he's like I'm surprised she invited the women to meet him at their get together. Even Sonja thought he went too far with all the flirty talk, and Sonja loves to flirt lol. Ramona seemed to enjoy his attention but Mario wasn't impressed with him lol. Of all the women Ramona has no social skills at all, can't believe sometimes what she comes out with, good viewing though

Is it just me, but isn't the saying 'cant get a word in edge ways' but everyone of those stupid women say 'can't get a word in edge wise'. YR I agree about Ramona having no social skills, she has not one ounce of self awareness.
