Oh its true. The RH of Jersey is planned to happen. I'm sure they got some "interesting" ladies for that! I'm sure there'll be lots of hair spray, lancome mascara and track suits!

^^I wish this show would not happen because it's just going to perpetuate cheesy stereotypes that represent a small minority of the New Jerseyans. And yes, I grew up in New Jersey. This kind of shit is so infuriating.

^^ Its just not worth getting upset about. I'm from wisconsin, and all people see of us is a bunch of cheese loving, dairy farm having, unsophisticated hicks who talk like the people on Fargo. Of course wisconsin is full of cool people, but that is the perception. Just like Jersey is full of cool people who are nothing like the stereotype.

And the show hasn't even happened yet, so you can see for yourself how bad/good it is.

^^Thanks Olivia. I'm not THAT upset about it that I'm going to do something irrational!

Didn't we already see this show when it was called "Growing Up Gotti"??? I mean Victoria is the ultimate real housewife, minus the wifey part...

I understand the regional bias thing. We are all ex-factory workers or hicks here.(Ohio). Hey it could be worse, we could all be from West Virginia!

when I picture the RHoNJ..I see the women/wives from 'Goodfellas' ..you know..the ones spitting on the carpets when the FBI agents are searching their homes..

I find Alex and Simon extremely disturbing and aside from their blatant desire to fit into a world they can not afford, network, network, network, pretend to be someone I'm not and the way they let their children behave at the dinner party (aside from even taking them in the first place) was the icing on the cake of disgust for me.

And Bethany is a riot, a bit off and I get why, but I could hang out with her and have a good time.

I feel better now

You have a good attitude. You're right though, Jersey folks do take a lot of shit about all that.

Ugh did anyone else watch the reunion show?

Bethenny loves to call people out. And said she didn't believe it was editing that made them look bad. Go Bethenny!!

Seriously Simon and Alex think they were misrepresented? I'm still processing that and cannot believe Ramona stormed off over the nude photos.

Drama queen wanted to make it all about her.

I think Ramona has mental problems.

I also thought it was interesting that Jill said they didn't show half of Ramona going off on Simon at the party...I wonder how bad it really was?

Yeah, I wasn't sure why Ramona left the set when they brought up the nude photos. I guess she didn't want to be associated with nude pics, but it was just strange.

Simon and Alex are irritating beyond belief. They claim they aren't social climbers yet the few episodes I watched that seemed to be their main goal in life.

That was ridiculous when Ramona walked off. All I could think was, bitch please. You are walking off because you are embarrassed by Alex being trampy-when your OWN DAUGHTER walked away in disgust at YOUR own trampy antics while being filmed? Hello? I hate Ramona.

I do like and or tolerate/ most of the housewives, but can't stand Ramona. She seems to have a bit of a superior attitude, as if she was the youngest/smartest/prettiest of them all, which is so far from the truth. I thought it was funny when she was seeing her aesthestician and claimed that the treaments she received kept her wrinkle free; she literally said "I have NO wrinkles!". Please, have you looked in the mirror? Have you seen your neck?!? You continually have this wide-eyed expression in an effort to make it look like your eyelids are not drooping, but it just looks ridiculous...!
