I've noticed that you & your husband have never said a mean word to any of the castmates even if they were putting you down. Impressive.

Alex, out all the housewives or wannabe housewife(Bethanny),you are the most leveled headed out of the bunch. Keep up the cool and relax behavior. Thanks for clearing the air about the obvious misunderstanding between Kelly and Bethanny.

Alex - you and Simon are great. He is so entertaining.

My only question, you say you are a graphic designer... well so am I. how the hell do you get to live the life you have on a Graphic Designer's salary???????????? I can barely make rent.

CAN A MAN WEIGH IN HERE? (Without Getting Scratched?)

No one should be “voted off the island.” You are all terrific NYC ladies that represent the best, albeit, at times, perplexing and complex women in America. But that’s what makes you so special!

A lady friend of mine finds this show particularly entertaining, so I must endure it if I am to pluck the most delicate rose from its thorny stem. (Personally, for the record, I prefer “Army Wives”).
Whether scripted or unscripted, it is very evident that you ladies took (and presumably, will continue to take this series seriously). You came, you hollered, you vented.

FROM A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE:

KELLEY

Completely, misunderstood. Kelly is a single mother only struggling with attempting to look after her own herd. Yes, her beauty carried her so far, yet she now finds herself on her own. She apparently, is navigating herself alone in a fishbowl of sharks (and by that I mean the mean streets of NY not the other cast members). I find it intriguing that some (blogs) accuse her of being jealous of others in the cast. Yet, isn’t she the one with all the “resources” as evidenced by Jill’s comment that Kelly has the “big beach house” in the Hampton’s and the “most expensive condo in Manhattan.” (Hmmmm?)

In any event, without Kelly, how could Bravo continue the (regrettable) feud between Bethenny (B) and Kelly? I would only tune in to see that outcome. A previous blog profoundly observed that it was B that arrived with an attitude because of B’s perceived slight that Kelly tried to steal her man in a prior circumstance. It is equally understandable how Kelly felt defensive about B’s attitude towards her (perhaps knowingly or unknowingly, the facts are unclear) when Kelly attended Jill’s charity event and called her “Madonna.”

In regards to the subsequent visit at the Bar (and yes, Kelly, you did look like you might have had a little too much to drink when you met with B – might this account for your frequent memory lapses?), I’m not sure why you did not let B speak, she was only there (and waited over half an hour!) with a sincere apology which you never gave her an opportunity to present... (Yikes! I cringe at that film – which is evidence in a court of law)…

But as an attorney, (which Kelly likes to point out that her Father was/is?), I would have expected better behavior. When confronted with an angry individual, I always aspire to find out why? Yes, Kelly should have handled that and other situations with B better. I would certainly hope that my daughter would do so. That being said, being bereft of social skills does not make you a monster nor does it make you eligible for disqualification. It makes you conducive of a candidate that needs to remain and learn from the process. I know that Bravo producers see this and none of the ladies will “be fired.”

Excuse me now, but a rerun of Army Wives is coming on and I need to wrestle my lady friend for the remote!

PS: Aside from my semi-defense of Kelly, Alex, I wish you continued success in pursuit of your endeavors. You and Simon represent the best of what is the Cosmopolitan culture that is the bedrock of America. Keep up the good work!.

I just saw the lost footage. It was very handy that you had a gay pair to vouch for Simon's heterosexuality by declaring they just love him but get no "gay vibe". Oh, really? They seem to be the only friends who agreed to be on camera with you guys, right? (Where are all your other many friends who envy you??)

Vibe or no vibe - Simon's taste is simultaneously laughable and sleazy (i.e. his shiny pimp jacket w/ red, "package accentuating" leggings). Your own wardrobe has much to be desired - even though you have paid vast amounts of gelt on it. Your dresses look like designer rags the way they just hang on your shapeless frame.
You both are truly the style impaired.

Alex, out of all the cast you are the one who seems the most articulate, calm and controlled. I think as some of the other viewers have commented on - you and Simon do keep it real - no pretenses with you. You are the diplomat on the show. I really am glad that you and Simon are on the show. It is nice to see a husband and wife clearly express their love and adoration towards each other.

Alex,

You were the only one who took the high ground and did not throw Kelly under the bus. Ramona, amazing...spending half the season kissing up to Kelly, trying to become her best friend...then the moment the other housewives turned, she dropped her sickening attempts to befriend Kelly. Ramona is the only truly mean-spirited amongst you. You should be commended for not jumping on the anti-Kelly band wagon!

You are lovely and the quintessential Libra when you are under fire. Love you and Simon! Hope you enjoyed dinner at Rouge Tomate this evening.

Alex,
I just finished watching the reunion show and I can't believe how rude Jill and Ramona were being towards you while they were having their spat about the tennis match. The way they were badmouthing you and Simon right in front of you during that fight was unbelievable. Well, I would expect it from Ramona. I hope Jill apologized to you after. If not, I would watch my back around her.

You really were, as usual, the only one who acted nicely during the reunion show. I sincerely hope you don't consider these women your friends for your sake. You know how the saying goes, with friends like those who needs enemies?

I just watched the reunion show and lost footage and I wanted to commend you and Simon on your parenting. I know you take a lot of hard hits for your wild boys - but I think you're doing great! And, we saw another side in how you're actually raising them tonight on the lost footage when your gay married friends visited. Simon's statement about raising them to be aware and accepting touched my heart. He took it a step further when he openly stated to your boys about men being able to marry men, etc. I'm from a small town in WV with two pre-teens and equality and respect is the foundation of our family! Again, people can say what they want about your parenting, but I say keep it up!
