Real Housewives of New York premiered last night and the question on everyone’s mind: Has Jill Zarin changed like she claims she has?I think people will agree with me on the answer. And that is NO.
We open with Kelly dropping in to see Jill who is packing to go to Australia. She doesn’t know how many suitcases to pack or what to bring. She is planning on doing a lot of great shopping there so wants to have the proper luggage to bring it all back. Kelly says she was there and the shopping wasn’t that great. “Really”? Jill says “I know a lot of people that say the shopping is fantastic”. Kelly has this glazed look on her face - - maybe she was mistaken Australia for another country or maybe she is thinking of another PSA for systematic bullying.
Jill said last night “I can’t help who I am, I am nice”. Well, let’s talk about that for a moment shall we? Ramona brings Alex with her to a wedding in the Hampton’s where Jill will also be a guest. Jill is shocked Alex is there. She is talking to two extras at a table where she called Alex an effing bitch. THEN she said “She’s socializing at a party that is so above her”. I don’t know where in Jill’s book this is NICE, but in the majority of people that I know, this is not nice. It is catty, mean spirited and downright bitchy.
On Watch What Happens Live, Andy asked her about that and Jill offered this excuse: "Since you brought it up you're going to have to hear the truth answer," she said. "Those words coming out of my mouth don't match the audio track. I was talking to a producer on the side and they put my words in my mouth and I didn't like that." Andy pressed further and asked if she said those words, Jill had little trouble answering: "Yes, but it wasn't meant – no, but it wasn't, you know, meant to be ... " Here we go again. It’s all bad editing people.
Some could argue that Alex kind of had this coming. Let’s talk about that. In past seasons, Alex has been kind of the shy kid in the corner. She let people, especially Jill, walk all over her. Last season we got a glimpse of Alex not holding back. Alex started right out of the gate at the wedding needling Jill about why she wasn’t going to attend the marriage equality march the next day when Jill is on the committee and all of the other committee members are going to be there. Alex wants to know why she would be on a committee and not even attend. Jill’s only response? “Who cares”?
The women go to an art gallery where Cindy is co-hosting a party for an artist friend. He wants to create a painting. All of the women remove their Jimmy Choo Shoes and dip their feet in paint and step on a canvas that is on the floor.
Jill also questions new housewife Cindy Barshop about her children. How did someone HER age have twins? Where is the baby daddy? Cindy answered the how okay; however, you could see the uneasiness in her face when someone she just met started grilling her about the kid’s father (or lack thereof).
We see Alex & Simon working from their home office that they share. It looks to be centered in the basement of their townhouse or whatever it is they are living in. Remember a few seasons ago when they were renovating it and it was in shambles?? Something tells me, it is STILL in shambles. The home office had black curtains that were serving as walls. But whatever hey guess what? Alex is now a model. What does Kelly have to say about that? Just because a photographer likes you, means you are photogenic, it doesn’t mean you are pretty. ((Well Kelly you should know now shouldn’t you?)).
Sonja and her new boyfriend, well kind of a boyfriend, she is just coming off of her divorce and she has her kids to think about and every woman in New York wants this guy so she might as well call him HER man double date with LuAnn and her boyfriend. I liked the clips shown at the beginning of the show from last season where LuAnn goes into the music studio to cut her song “Money can’t buy you class”. It’s true, money can’t buy you class but it sure can buy you auto-tune. That much is certain. Just ask Kim Zolciak. Wait, she hasn’t paid for that either, never mind.
LuAnn & Sonja were mainly extra’s last night, but I’m sure they will be causing some issues yet in this season.
We also see Ramona interviewing unlucky candidates for an assistant job. One poor girl looked like she was going to cry when Ramona criticized her outfit and then noticed the poor girl had bad skin and Ramona threw some of her skin-care at her. After all, she has a skin-care empire; she can’t be having someone with bad skin working for her - - oh the horror!
