Season 2
Season 1
This is sort of a blind (deaf and dumb, though hopefully not stupid!) blog as I haven’t seen any of the reunion yet except for what’s online in the previews – that may or may not be in tonight’s episode. I did hear, however, that this reunion is going to be a three parter – WOW! Since we didn’t get an advance screener since the edit was SO fast, Simon and I decided to leave for our Philly/VA/Baltimore/DC book tour at 6am tomorrow so we can watch part one with all of you tonight! It’s a jam-packed weekend; check out our Facebook Event Calendar for all the details and to RSVP. If you’re nowhere near the east coast but want to pick up our book for Father’s Day, you can do that here.
We shot on May 26th for almost nine hours, and I think that even if the powers-that-be just ran the unaired tape, there would be very little that’s boring. Simon and some others stopped by throughout the day and were able to watch us in action from a separate room with monitors – is that so no one could pass any cast members notes about what to say??? Just kidding!
Much was made of my outspokenness this season and here’s what I have to say about that: there are those who have said that I’m only speaking up to make myself more relevant on the show. I ask you, if that were the case why didn’t I do that in seasons 1 or 2? If that were the reason I’d have started LONG ago. Nope, my string of second chances came to an end, my fuse blew badly enough that I exploded, I just got fed up, I realized it’s counterproductive to avoid offending people who offend you ... insert your favorite cliché here. L-O-bloody-L.
From the beginning of the season, LuAnn and Jill had a 'team" that they tried to recruit others to join – Jill on the phone Labor Day weekend and LuAnn asked me on camera at Ungaro in September which "team" I was on. Ramona, Bethenny and I didn’t form a team with Sonja joining later. We didn’t make jackets; it’s not like we’re in the Pink Ladies. We just understood each other.
Hi Alex, I am writing to you from the UK. To me you are a real lovely, genuine lady and mom and I wish those other witches (Kelly being the worsed) would not think that they can keep interruting you mid sentence and cutting you off!!! Please try and tell them next time that you will not speak to them if they continue being so rude! If I had been in your shoes I would have flipped out on Kelly on more than one occasion. She is so rude and false, always bearing her teeth in what is supposed to be a smile and yet shows actual aggression. First she tried to bully Bethenny and now she is awful to you!! Keep it up and be yourself, I think you rock!
at first l thought you guys were out of the loop. but now l believe you both have more class than any of the ladies and you have been more of a lady thaan the others put together. keep up the great work and l love watching your show all the time. xx
I like you Alex and Simon and your boys. You don't backstrab people as some of the ladies do. I hope you are back on Season 4. Your Fan on Bravo and on Facebook, Beverly Koop
I don't see a problem with Alex voicing her own opinion. I just saw the problem with HOW she expressed it. But she admitted that she wasn't very tactful so i cant have beef with her about that. I say, keep voicing your opinion Alex, just use more wisdom in how its expressed. Also, i would advise you to just lower your expectations of Jill, Kelly and LuAnn. If you do, then you wont get as upset with them as you have in the past. Don't expect Jill to deliver a sincere apology to you about anything, don't expect Kelly to be normal and don't expect LuAnn to take up anyone's side except for Jill's.
ALEX,
DITTO WHAT "LITTLE MISSY" WROTE.
LOVE YOU
Alex,
I feel like Bravo! was very insensitive to you regarding your hives. This is something that happens to a lot of people including me and they made it into such a big deal. There is nothing wrong with it. I love that you said it is a part of who you are because I feel that way too. And anyone that says it shows that you are hiding something or are a malicious person is completely ignorant.
I find it interesting that you post this immediately following the reunion show, but claim to not have watched them. I don't buy it.
I think you came off artificial, and high school. It is one thing to assert yourself, it is another to do so over and over and over on the same issues. Frankly, it's all tiring. You need to move on, apologize to Jill, sorry it's your turn this time.
I am not sure about the blogs, but I haven't met one fan of yours, not a one!
YOU GO GIRL !!!!!!!!!I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU SAY WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY .BUT YOUR DELIVERY WAS A LITTLE WIERD...I'M SURE YOU WILL COME AROUND.
Alex is indeed the one housewife I would treasure as a friend. However, it is obvious she does not like confrontation which come natural to the rest of them. I hope she doesn't overdo her "new self" because it does not become her naturally sensitive personality; I can tell it's forced.
You go girl! You found your voice and your fans love it. Jill needed to be taken down a peg or two and you did it with class. Kudos to you for standing by Bethany. You are what a true friend should be.
Finally someone with some common sense, class, dignity and maturity to tell it like it is. Although you are younger than Jill, your maturity and truthfullness shines through. Thank you for your honesty and not behaving like so infantile spoiled brat as Jill does. Also thank you for not "running away " off the stage as Jill and Kelly did when confronted. How shameful for them. You were confronted and handled it with dignity and class and owned up to it all. Accountability is a strength and you wear it well. Also you dont look like you are channeling the devil. How lame. You are gorgeous inside and out.
How do you know if Jill's apologies are insincere? She doesn't owe you anything. She already apologized to you for the same things all the other women have been doing to you. I think you need to apologize to her for your bizarre outbursts and "messages". Stay out of her and Bethenny's fight and mind your own business.
Alex- love you this season! You're such a great addition to the cast- an educated, working mother. You're one of the few viewers can actually relate to. It's wonderful to see your transformation from moving on from Victoria's Secret to finding yourself professionally and your own voice.
Alex, sometimes less is more. You're overdoing it
now. You don't have to address everything that is said
I liked you before and still do.
Alex-
I am loving the new found voice you have shown this season. Bravo! No pun intended. Jill was still rude to you on the reunion show as you were trying to state facts and get her to tell the truth. It's funny how when she was being backed in a corner she finally came forth with the truth after initially denying it. I really enjoyed you, Bethenny, Sonja, and Ramona as closer friends this season. You four mixed very well. Kelly is crazy, Jill is rude and The Countess is two faced. You four were finally able to enjoy yourselves the last day of your trip in Paradise hell...well...until Jill showed up. I think it's great how you, Bethenny and Ramona have mended old wounds and have become better people from it.
Good luck to you and your new found voice. I hope it makes you stronger. Remember, it's important to find that balance between saying what you need to say and not coming across too direct and rude. I believe in the end as portrayed on the reunion show, you found it. Don't lose it.
Alex, I love that you found your voice! When Jill made that snarkey remark about u living in Brooklyn & laughed at you, it made me realize how much of a wanna be she really is. Brooklyn is the largest city in the US & culturally rich since the 1700's & before. She is from Long Island & can't imagine living in Brooklyn???? She married into money like others in the cast but I give u & Simon so much credit for the life you live & the beautiful boys u are raising. May God Bless you & your family.
Alex - You were amazing this season! I was so glad that you spoke your mind to Jill and you were not rude compared to the vile slime that comes out of her mouth. LuAnne could take some pointers from you as well. Those two women make me cringe.
The best part of the reunion is when Jill finally stepped up to the plate and told you to mind your own business, this was between her and Bethenny. YEAHHHHH JIll.
BOOOOO ALEXXXXXXXX
The first season you and Simon were on, I did not understand you (or him). This season I figured out that you were the one who was trying not to get into things with people and you finally lost your patience. Bravo! I think the fact that you could "testify" to things that happened, stopped the she said/she said thing between Jill and Bethenny. Thank you!
I've grown to really appreciate you and Simon and I hope you both stay on the show. I'm rooting for Kelly to leave, if not for the reason of her incoherence, fantasy revisionist history, but for her own mental health. Clearly this isn't the place she should be.
People tend to make the mistake thinking quiet people are wimps and see how far they can push them. I think Jill thought you yielded to her because she intimidated you, instead of because you're a nice person who doesn't like to fight. I think that breeds abusive behavior in people like Jill, and then they think there's something wrong with YOU when you finally blow. I'm so glad, and proud of you, that you finally stood up for yourself and your family. You're a good friend, that's for sure, and very rational. Good for you.
First off, I have been a fan of all the housewives since your season started. This is my first time posting anything on a blog, and frankly I don't know if you will even read this, but I thought it might be worth a shot.
When I watched the second reunion episode for this season, I thought what Kelly said was interesting. I am currently getting a Masters Degree in Human Development (so I know a little of this topic of bullying). There is a book (and an entire class I took) that addresses the way women and girls "bully" each other. It's rather interesting and I think it would really change your opinion on the way women have learned to treat one another in society today. If anything it might open your eyes to an interesting topic that affects all women and girls.
To say the least Kelly did not do the topic justice, it seems as though she wasn't clear on the "facts". Hopefully this will encourage you to learn about the "facts", the book is called "Odd Girl Out".I highly recommend it to all mothers and daughters!
Keep up the good work! I know exactly where your coming from. Probably a lot of us do. Ramona and Bethany are growing too. Trust yourself. I like when you loosen up.
All I can say is that I LOVE the new Alex and you looked fantastic on the reunion show! Keep the new you here and say what you feel. You are loved by your fans!
Alex, keep speaking up! You are one of my favorites!! I am most definetly on team Alex, Ramona and Bethenny.
Alex- you only have 2 speeds ZERO or SIXTY. I think you should search for a happy medium. The SIXTY is too much and then you are the same as everybody else and that's a shame...I liked the gentle Alex
Dear Alex, Don't change even one little thing about who you are and what you are about! xoxoxox, a Huge Fan
Love you and Simon. You show a Real Housewife in New York. Your calm, and class during the filming of the show really shows what a good person you are and a role model.
The others who don't want to be your "friend" know they aren't in your league, and that is why!!
Alex- I was a fan of yours, but you were shockingly vicious at the reunion. It's one thing to call someone on their actions; its another to twist the knife over and over. You reminded me of the bullied child who suddenly finds herself popular and uses that status to turn around and berate someone else. You appeared downright giddy with power. I had no idea you had it in you to be so cruel, and it was very disappointing to see.
Dear Alex, You get my nomination for the 100% real person of ALL the Housewives from the past 4 years. You didn't, to paraphrase Jill, "find your voice" this season. You never lost it. You simply used your good Midwest judgement for the last couple of seasons to not make rash determinations about people, let their actions speak volumes (allowing them every opportunity for redemption), and then when it was time to let your feelings show honestly, you let your feelings show. Kudos to your restraint and your honesty!!
All I have to say to you is Brava Alex for this season and the reunion
Yay Alex :) Good for you, this season was very, very, mean and I did not like what I saw with the Jill, Luann and especially the wackadoodle Kelly. The "zip it" comments, Jill's horrendous mean comments about everyone and Luann acting like a teenager with Jill. Come on these women are in there 40's late at that and early 50's and act like they are in high school as you put it, you hit the nail on the head. These types of actions are not needed nor shall they be tolerated especially since these women are suppose to have "money"?, "class"?, etc. I'm so glad that I did not have "friends" like these. Thank you Lord. Standing up and speaking your mind is pretty impowering isn't it? Good for you !!!!
alex, don't like the way you changed. it's so highschool. if you had problems with jill, address your own issues with her. bethany certainly doesn't need you to be her spokesperson. by the way, what's with you and your retro inspired hair do's and over the top fashion? you s
Alex you looked soooo pretty on the Reunion show!! You looked better than everyone! You act like a down-to-eart, nice gal...And I like you more than anyone else on the show! Keep being the genuine person you are...And life will reward you...:)
Alex
You truly are the lady out of all of them. It is so obvious of Kelly's jealousy of you and your wonderful marriage and family life. It is unfortunate that she acts the way she does being a mother of two young girls.
Kudos to you Ramona and Bethanny!!!!!
I just love you! Keep up the natural way you are and you will be very successful. You have Jill and Kelly pegged and I trust your judement and honesty...
Hi Alex,
It seems like Jill's hatred for you is really intense. I think it's because you can see right through her. Hope you are back next year.
I think you are a classy lady. I aplaud you for standing up to Jill.
Alex. Hooray!!!!! for you. I love you. You have class.
Alex, you are my most favorite housewife this season. You are articulate, down-to-earth honest and hardworking. Besides Bethenny, traits that the others do not possess. Keep up the outspokenness...it's a breath of fresh air. I love that you're calling people out for their misbehavior.
Do your thing Alex! I have enjoyed watching you speak your mind this season! Best wishes
Alex,
I am all for people finally speaking up and standing up for themselves however Alex why are you hiding behind Ramona and Bethany...are they your safety net? And are you sure you are not in high school? were you bullied through life and deciding to take it out on Jill this season? sure seems that way!
Too bad you had to use Bethany's issues to get your own point across. You might have found your balls so to speak, but you made yourself look like quite the ass in the process. I don't like you!
Alex - It is great that you state you have found your voice, but in doing so you are mean and caddy. I notice each time someone does not agree with you, you call them crazy to dismiss them, how is that finding your voice? You use finding your voice and an excuse to be mean and very hurtful and say the absolutely most hateful things. You have only found your voice because you feel that you have Ramona and Bethenny on your side. Try being your own person.
Alex-you are awesome for standing up to Jill. As I have watched this season I have been in disgust over how Jill is soo mean to people, and I am glad that you stood up to her! Congrats to you!
You are right on! Best wishes to you and and your family!
Yay for Alex! I thought you and Simon were complete whack-jobs when I first saw you. But now I totally love you!! Keep up the awesomeness! :)
u are awesome!!! u have to be the only one with a open mind and a actual working brain!!!! love, love, love you!!!!
Bravo to you!!! Standing up for yourself and not allowing people to treat you poorly is admirable. You and Bethenny are my favs!!!!
