The Real Housewives Of New York Reunion Episode Was Better Than The Entire Series

thumbnail icon: The Real Housewives Of New York Reunion Episode Was Better Than The Entire Series

I was so wrong. Last night's Real Housewives reunion was not a nightmare at all (although I maintain my position that Ramona's face was Stephen King's muse for all of his books). The reunion was so good. Those women are horrible. They should fill their bathtubs with champagne and get in with their diamond toaster ovens. Except for Bethenny, with whom I maintain a loving relationship as blogger and wife. It was like the World's Strongest Man competition, where those dudes made out of flesh bowling balls have to pull 18-wheelers with their bare hands, except that instead of pulling 18-wheelers, the women are straining against the excuses they've created for themselves to hide the sadness of their desperate lack of self-worth.

If it were possible, I would just show you the whole thing, and I apologize for being fixated on Alex and Simon when there are so many other housewives to hate, but this clip is a pretty fair summation of the whole show:

Man, this clip really has it all. It's got the hilarious "no regrets" question baiting from Alex, then she and Simon get faced! with a list of viewer hate mail from that host who I heard went home and killed himself after the show, and then there's the sad tantrum by Ramona who just walks off the set. She is the best. The googley-eyed shot of her face at the end of the clip inspired me to write a screenplay. It's called Face/Off 2. John Travolta returns as detective Sean Archer who switches faces with Ramona to infiltrate the world's saddest gang, but on his way to the secret meeting at Balthazar he passes by a mirror and sees Ramona in the reflection and shoots himself in the face nine times. Joel Schumacher is signed on to direct.

Ramona flailing around while everyone talks is bewitching. Why can't she sit still? She would have made an unparalleled silent film star. She's got the gesturing DOWN.

You can see Ramona making snide conspiratorial remarks to Bethenny while the other women are talking during the whole episode, like an obnoxious brat. Bethenny does her best to ignore her, but how well could anyone ignore a sloppy monster face hissing in their ear?

Ramona is completely high. Every bit of her behavior suggests either coke or meth

The only sane one out of the all wanna bees.. is Alex.even though , she tries too hard to fit in
she is the only one that doesn't need too. just be yourself. If all the others had not married
into money they would be hood rats.. Kelly is the worst one , where does she get off that
she is above anyone. She has no brains and no class.. She and Ramona should become best friends they are in the same wave link..... thats to scary.. Simon is scary Alex should look
