Hi Alex
I think your are a classy lady and absolutely think before you speak. I felt bad when Simon was freaking out over the suprise. He is lucky to have you. You have a very sweet way about you, stay like that. I don't think the other women give you enough credit, but you do shine through....

I love Alex and Simon. They are a bit off center, but extremely enjoyable to watch.

Alex always thinks before she speaks -- I just wish the other housewives could follow her example.

The reunion was an out an out catfight between all the other ladies and Alex stayed above the fray.

To quote Ramona "Declasse ladies".

Over the course of the season, personalities and dramas emerged that were at times funny, intense, sad, whatever....but in the end, the only people i would want to have a conversation with are Alex and Simon. Despite being protrayed as eccentric, they are the only ones with the intelligence and class that the others blather about.

The reunion show only reenforced my perception that the other's are out of touch and out for themselves. Kudos to those who have used the show to advance good causes (Jill and Creaky Joints.) Still, only Alex and Simon are at all authentic and respectful.

Go Alex, you are a very neat person, and then there's Simon, I love him too, you are a cool couple.

You and Simon fly the best freak flags ever!!!! But your comment that IF he was gay, he'd be out and PROUD....was the best moment of the show for me.

Alex, was glad you got to "sit and watch" this time while the others ripped each other to shreds. Where was Simon? Did the other housewives ban him from the reunion? You do have true, innate class, always very intelligent. Simon,while he can be sarcastic at times, is never unkind. I CANNOT believe the behavior of most of these women! Which is why I am definitely going to watch next season. It's like a train wreck.... just can't tear myself away. Once again, I think your little toddlers should be off limits. If a child could pick which household he/she could be raised in, I'm sure they would pick yours.

Alex, you were an absolute delight on the reunion show. I applaud you for acting with class and not getting into a screaming match with anyone. After the reunion last year, I wouldn't have blamed you or your husband for running as far away as fast as you could from this show. I am glad you came back. You proved that you are, by far, the most normal lady there.

My goodness, Alex... how on earth did you manage to stay SANE during that pseudo-group therapy session?! I must admit, during the season Jill & Bethenny were my favorites, but your classy approach to the insane reunion was really admirable.

I used to not like you Alex. Sorry..but I did think that you and Simon were just trying to "Move on up to the east side "( so to speak.) After the reunion show , I thought that you are the most articulate and the housewife that has the best insights! You really seem to want to help people and are not in the least mean spirited ! I think the others need to try and grow up and be more like you!!
Kudos to you Alex!

The last two minutes kind of lightened up and put closure on everything that came before: Kelly asked LuAnne if she read her own book, which was like letting air out of the tires it was so funny, and the possibility of Kelly and Bethenny finally becoming friends was broached!

I have always appreciated your honesty on the show. All of us who have ever wanted to get anywhere in life, regardless of where that somewhere may be...we all have the same desires of wanting to be accepted or wanting to make something of ourselves....it is not you being fake as I have read others comment...it is you being open about where you want to be! We ALL think exactly the same things you and Simon think (just applied to our own personal environments)...most of us are just not brave enough to admit it! So kudos to you, for not pretending to be something you are not and for being honest about what it really takes (and what we all do!) to get ahead in this world!

I have to say that I was impressed with you! You managed to be eloquent and mature in what can only be described as one big mess. While the other ladies attacked each other with name calling and anger, you attempted to mediate the arguments, even trying to help Bethenny and Kelly handle their arguments. Having said all that, I wouldn't have watched it if their wasn't some fighting, so I don't want to be a hypocrit. However, I do have to admit there were times when I was so embarassed for people that I had to change the channel. At the very least, a congratulations is owed to Alex for presenting herself in a very positive way.

Alex-
After seeing a different (and perhaps more holistic) side of you this season, I have to say you are impressive. You are presented as intelligent, talented and level-headed. Certainly a good counter balance to some of the more flamboyant personalities on the cast. I agree with other comments that you were all class during the reunion, but I also think that when you did speak up, you were very insightful. Bravo for finally putting a finger on the core of the Bethenny/Kelly conflict. Kelly is inarticulate. Great season and good luck with the book!

Alex, I was quite proud of you at this reunion show. You spoke your mind and then you sat back and watched the fireworks. The Countess should take some pointers on what manners and etiquette are all about.
And how about RAMONA? "Do you discipline your children?"
F* Her! Her daughter is such a brat! If my child dreamed of talking to me like Avery does to Ramona she better wake up and apologize!

Alex you and Simon were portrayed as the odd couple for so long on this show, it's about time Bravo showed your true colors.
Bethenny stated that what portrays isn't editing, ha!
Of course it is!

Congrats Silex!

You were a class act last night. The only one who spoke with any elegance. Good job!

Alex, last season I was not sure how I felt about you and Simon. I thought you two were weird and snooty. But this season I have completely changed my mind about the two of you. GIRL!! you kept your cool and out classed them all. I LOVE Jill she is my favorite but you run a close second. I think Jill should layoff on the whole Ramona thing. I love her but come on Jill it would take a deaf, dumb, blind, and mute person not to realize that Ramona needs some therapy. She has so many issue from her childhood that she is a basketcase. I think all of you need to give Ramona a break and realize she has some serious childhood issues. Still not sure how I feel about Kelly.

Alex

I have to say I think you were the most mature wife on the reunion show! You were articulate when necessary, quiet when necessary and honest. I gained a lot of respect for you after watching the reunion, especially when you so articulately stated how Kelly did not do a good job explaining why she was angry with Bethenny. Well done and very classy of you to behave so well. I noticed that on the show you are also very mature when it comes to the gossip. Keep it up.

I love you guys!!! I love that Simon wears what he wants and is in style. You are the classiest of all those chicks!! At first, I didn't know what to make of you but as the show went on, you were the most honest and real.

Hi Alex, I really enjoyed the reunion show. I must say that you have style, grace and eloquence. You handled yourself so dignified and so appropriately on that mess of a reunion show. The other ladies could take a page out of your classy book and rework themselves. I enjoy all the drama it does make it very interesting but, there also is a fine line between fun & distastefulness. I think the other ladies should watch the reunion show again and see how a real true woman handles herself. You did not get involved in all that anger and negativity. I think you're great and keep up your sunny sophisticaed disposition.

Wow, I can only imagine how uncomfortable you must have been at the reunion. I love the drama of the show, but everyone except for you acted like 12 year year olds. I literally had to fast forward through certain parts because I couldn't deal with adult women acting in such a way.

But then again, it wouldn't be great TV if all the ladies were as well-mannered as you!!

Alex, first of all let me congratulate you, you were amazing in the reunion. The first season I use to hate you but I saw a different you this season, an elegant, classy and very intelligent woman and now I figure what was the problem, Simon! You are much better without him. I give that marriage 2 more years. You are to outstanding for him, he either going to come out of the closet or you are going to realize the woman you are. Good luck!

Alex...you are a beautiful person inside and out! I also love the way you and Simon are with your children...fun, patient, & understanding and nourishing parents. I always usually see your side for everything, except for last night about Bethenny...Bethenny does tell it like it is...maybe that one time with you she didnt because you might have not been around but Simon was...all the other times she has though...The one to look out for is Romona...she is so Mean and Jealous of your and Simons relationship. Mario and Romona just doesn't have what you and Simon have... Romona is always talking about you and Simon behind your backs and she talks about the other Housewives too! I think You and Bethenny can be good friends! Another one to look out for is that Kelly...she will take advantage of you and probably will hit on Simon behind your back too! Simon loves you though...there is no competition between you and Kelly...Alex wins hands down...Class, Beauty, Smarts, you name it, you win it Alex...Can't wait for season 3...Have a Great Summer Alex!!! ;)

I didn't really know how to take Alex and Simon in Season One, but I've grown to really like them. They do sometimes seem like they're trying too hard, but they're holding their own.

liz how can you say alex is a bore? without alex there is no Simone. They bring the best out of each other. I know we watch the show because of the drama and the cat fights, but sometimes the show need some humor to make it fun to watch. I kidda agree with Kelly even though she is my least favorite housewives when she said on the reunion to talk about other things beside the cattiness. I just think she didn't know how to say it, like maybe beside the fighting,and arguments, lets talk about some of the fun and good things like the charities and things that are positive.i mean the reunion was all about what you did or didn't do. I think this season for the NY housewives was really all about branding themselves. I want to see the fights, arguments, and friendship they have for each other.

I think you are an intelligent woman. Why in hell would you put yourself out here like this? Money? I'd get outta dodge if you want to keep your job. Seriously.

I think Alex and Simon are hilarious!!!! I really like them!! They are entertaining and they dont mind us laughing at them..hahahahaha...I should say in the beginning I couldnt stand these two. Now they have grown on me and the other housewives have shocked me with their catty bullshit. Give Simon and Alex their own show and let the other two faced houswives suck on that. Alex...you have always acted with total class..

Alex you were all class last night ! How dis you manage to stay sane ?

Alex, I have to admit that you handled yourself well. Yes you and Simon are way different than the rest. Simon reminds me of an ex-boyfriend.....looking forward to next season

i think no one on the housewives of ny should be voted off for next season, cause everyone of them bring something to the show even Kelly. Betheny, last season was more down to earth,and this season a little out spoken not to say she should keep her mouth shut, but when it came to Jill either she really respect her or is kissing her a??. Alex on the reunion did make a good point. The other housewives seems to think Silax are social climber or shallow. I think they need to take a good look at themselves.They're not any different.

You and Simon are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Looking forward to next year

Alex, you are my favorite gentile on the show. Maybe the Countess could take a few lessons on class from the lady from Brooklyn. You rose to the top this season, no mud slinging from you. Your husband has grown on me, as well. How did you let him leave the house in those red pants? Speaking about clothes,you have a cute little figure, please don't wear that silly feed bag. I wish you much success in your new business endeavors. Hope to see you again on season 3.

You totally nailed the show! I have to agree with everyone else and say wow.... now that's class. You and Simon compliment each other so well. I do have to admit I was a little disappointed that he wasn't at the reunion :( Hope to see you guys back next season!! Much Love from Seattle

Alex you and your husband are wonderful on the show. We enjoy watching you both and how you both are so into each other. Great couple, and the kids are beautiful. We loved the show where your soon was taking the testing for the school and he spent his time teasing his examiner, and then said he was smarter than his examiner. That was great. Your family has a great vibe and you all are wonderful to watch. I also liked how you expressed to Kelly that she would have done better to be more articulate in her meetings with Bethany and that might have eliminated the fighting between them. I don't think she got it though. Articulate might have been too much of a big word for her, she looked confused and got real quiet.

you and your husband are great people, dont let any haters bring you all down, god bless you keep doing what you are doing.

Thank you for not being catty on the reunion. I only watched the first 30 minutes just now but let me tell you . . . All I noticed was how beautiful you looked. Quiet the contrary to the rest of the group!! We love you in Michigan and bless your heart, we think you are amazing. Don't change who you are and don't change your Simon!!! We love you both!!!!!

Alex,

You are one amazing woman and you should be so proud of the way you handled the reunion. Your comment to the group about Francois and Johann's not speaking badly
about others was the crowning glory. I respect you and envy the loving wonderful
relationship you and Simon have.
Thank you for having the class it takes to be a woman of substance.

Hi Alex - After viewing the reunion shows, it was quite obvious that you conducted yourself with class & dignity and were a refreshing break from all the "crazy banter" that went on between the other ladies. I wish you success in your new business ventures and on your future book....it should be a "fun read".

I do like you and I was a little disappointed to not see Simon at the reunion. I was anticipating a surprise husbands visit or something I guess. Anyhow, despite your craziness sometimes, you're alright with me. Best of luck to you and your newly updated home.

Hi Alex,
I loved you in this season and in the reunion show. i also LOVE the eye makeup you are wearing in the reunion..would love to know who it is and in what color?? congratulations on your new endeavors and hang on to that simon!

omg you are not a drama whore like the rest of the girls good job and ignore the rest of the girls because they are so obnoxious

You are so kind! Nice to see. Best to you and Simon!

Girl! Thank you! Thank you for not getting involved in all the cattiness. Thank you for being so into your husband and for him being so into you. Who doesn't WANT that?! I guess we all watch the show because of the drama and cat fights, but we need some breaks from it occasionally. Thank you. Simon is... colorful, no doubt; but I like colorful people and I LOVE that he adores you so. I also love that he was willing to help Jill out with the tennis match even though he's not the greatest player and even though she had said nasty things about him in the press. I pray, pray, pray that your relationship with Simon continues to flourish, and I wish you much success in your new business endeavors.

Alex,
You conducted yourself with such class on the reunion episode and throughout the season. I wish you and Simon the very best in your marriage.
I was in Second Time Around today in Providence and loved it! The prices are great and the merchandise is one-of-a-kind! Good luck in your future endeavors!

Alex, honestly I was not sure about you last season. But this season you really became my favorite housewife. You are mature, intelligent, genuine, and most of all you keep it real. You always address things when it is needed then move on from it. Watching you on the reunion was amazing because if the topic did not involve you, you did not get in the middle of the drama unless you were giving constructive criticism.
I think alot of people on the show critized you and Simons relationship only because they were jealous. You have such an amazing relationship with your husband and honestly, I think its amazing that you guys still have that sexual spark. Congrats on being an amazing mother, business women, wife and an overall good person. You are an inspiration to all women.

Social climbers or not, you and Simon are the truest friends on the show. You two were always trying to help when someone asked you to. You were right to confront Bethenny on her cowardly behavior. You helped Bethenny with her logo and she did behave as if she was doing you a favor. And by the way, the logo that you designed is ten times better than the one she has now.

Why did the women attack you! You spoke so eloquently about exactly the time line and that one person contacted you to write a book, then your agent came up with a great idea to get interest rather than knocking on doors, (probably the way Bethenny had to do it). And it worked! Why does Jill act like the Den Mother, "just tell the truth"., the truth is, you and your family are great fun to watch, learn from and I, a mother of two boys who could add some embarrassing moments about behavior, hope you do not change just because they are so jealous!

Alex, I must say that you really made a BIG impression on me while watching the Reunion shows. I love the fact that you are the type of person that seems to take in what is going on with the knowledge that what each person has to say is actually "that person's" perspective on what was happening at any given time. I think you "get it" that everyone has their right to an opinion on what the interpretation of a situation is. You have shown a tremendous amount of CLASS which I believe comes from not involving yourself in the "bickering". I know that each of you are very strong willed and passionate ladies which is why there is the need to express yourselves and know that you are being understood. But all being said.....again I was VERY impressed with your show of class during the Reunion show. Good luck in your new venture and hope to see you again next season.

This show is my guilty pleasure. With a bowl of popcorn and a glass of wine, one thing occurred to me...you are very smart. I may not get you all the time, but I respect smart.

Alex,
I gotta say I like ya. I think you are a fresh perspective of life not on these shows. All the drama is eating the other ladies to death. But they were a fresh perspective to last season. Seriously stop it ladies!
I mean come on now...in the begininng you all knew you would brush over these little things becoming feuds, instead you look to protect yourselves before you think someone may may an incident about something. And if the producers are the ones who have laden you that way then wake up. Go back to the laughs you all had together. YOu were like the new "sex and the city ladies." It was cool because like in New York your undoubtably going to step on a toe or two. So get over yourselves sit down and say I'm sorry and get back to the beginning. Now Kelly I would say no she can't stay. She is too fake and has to many strange grinds to grind. This show we don't want trouble we want laughs okay? Get that producers????????????/////

Thank you I will take a bow LMAO

Alex,
As the episodes progressed I liked and respected you more and more. At first it did seem like perhaps you and Simon were " a lot about appearances". As time went on you expressed who YOU are. I think you were honest about your thoughts and feelings and never failed to show what being real is all about. No matter what your opinion you never presented yourself in a mean spirited or vindictive way. (Like Kelly for instance. Kelly is absurd..but you hit the nail on the head when you said she was inarticulate.)I think you might have to tell her what it means.

I also agree that each one of you brought something of interest to the show.

The complexity of the different personalities ..and trying to understand and appreciate the feelings of each other is really what life is about.

And knowing who you are and not being afraid of being yourself.

You definitely showed that of yourself.. You have class. Lady. And you can't buy class.

I believe that social climber or not, you and Simon are the truest friends on the show. I have never seen either one of you backstab another castmember. Yet every chance the others get, they do it to you. By the way, the skinnygirl logo that you helped design is 10 times better than the one Bethenny has now.

Hi Alex, As many people have said, I too thought that you and Simon were a bit odd. However, after this season (especially the reunion) I really think you just so real and sincere. You also seem the most grounded and secure with yourself, class could be the word as well. I also really wanted to make this comment because of what you said in this blog about Ramona and her issues because of her upbringing. Your comment was insightful and incredibly intelligent. I was also thinking something along those lines. Things do seem a bit more clear when you take into account the way and the environment they were raised in. Good Luck with everything!!

Alex,

I want to commend you on the way you conducted yourself with such class and dignity during "The Reunion." Although I respect and admire each (well, most) of the other "Housewives," I will have to say that I admire you most for not "slinging mud" as has been the case with each of the others. I grew up modestly, have lived in modest homes, "country club" settings and everything in between and have seen the best and worst in people in each of these settings. This week I have seen respected, affluent women on the Real Housewives Reunion conduct themselves in a manner befitting the lowest class of people imaginable while you set an example of class and dignity. "Bravo" to you! Phill

Alex:

i was not sure about you and Simon on the first season. You guys seemed a little much and i too wondered about Simon's sexuality. This season was a different story. I love your calm and i think in Simon's tantrum his love for you really came shining through. It is clear that you guys don't have the money like some of the other ladies but you have so much more in your beautiful family. Kudos for being classy and intelligent. Maybe you should be the countess. hehe. Kudos and good luck in all your endeavors. Same for Simon. He is a hoot!!

I think you and Simon both went up a few notches after this season..but I think it was unnecessary to call Bethenny 'cowardice'. That whole remark to her made you seem pompous and really arrogant. It reminded me of the first episode where you and Jill had a falling out about the article Jill was in talking about your husband..you were defensive but it comes off as very very arrogant and as ridiculous as kelly..

YEA! Alex, you are my hero. Those other broads may have money but they don't hold a candle to your class or intellect or beauty! They are all jealous of you and Simon. Good luck with your new endeavors! Keep being yourself and kiss your beautiful boys (all 3) for us! Blessings!

I think that out of all the housewives on the reunion finale tonight, that Alex handled herself with the most dignity and in the most diplomatic, polite, classy and realistic way out of them all. I believe everyone else did this show for publicity. Jill for her and her husbands business, LuAnn for her book, Bethanny for her book, Ramona for her skin care and so her husband could be on TV and Kelly to re-create her flailing career. However, Alex hadn't lost her job at the time and subjected not only herself but her husband and children to the chaos and drama of all these other people because she truly is a REAL HOUSEWIFE and wanted people to see another side of how someone with financial security can still be a caring, loving and compassionate individual, who has morals. values and a true sense of family. God Bless You Alex.

Alex,
I don't understand how you can confront Bethenay about talking behind someones back and than compliment Ramona saying thats a quilty you like of her, she says things in peoples faces, I mean come on. Her and her husband completely bashed your whole family at the reioun and on the show. Talk about my husband, but talk about my kids... I mean don't be afraid of her, stick up for yourself why put down someone that could be your friend put down your enemy!!!!!

I like you and I like Simon. And, I LOVE the pool in your backyard. Kelly and her truck have nothing on you guys. I would have liked to hear more out of you during the reunion but am glad that you didn't resort to mudslinging. I can't wait until next season.

Alex, you are such a calm, cool and collected person. I do think that you and Simon are alittle over the top. I loved the way that you stayed out of all the cat fights. I wish you much success. You have class.

Just want to say that I enjoy the show..and that you are the only normal Housewife on it! You conducted yourself so well, were honest but never stooped to the level of insults and immaturity like the other ladies (if one can call them that). Also you were so good at helping them understand what they wanted to say to eachother..maybe you should think about being a therapist. I think they need one!!! :)

ALEX YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND NICE AND ALWAYS PLEASENT NO MATTER WHAT IS SAID... I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A GENUINE PERSONALITY THAT I FEEL IS LOVELY ...ALEX YOU ROCK!

Alex,

I think you are the only "real" housewife. The rest of those women are so superficial and fake. They are so wrapped up in drama and hurting each other. But you are so sincere and not catty. Its very refreshing. Thank you for being so nice and a wonderful person.

Alex,
I think you have the most class out of all of the women on the show. However, you are a little bland. Personally, I would rather see your psuedo flaming gay husband on the show. He is a crack up. You two seem to have great chemistry.

Alex,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your class, kindness, honesty and being real.

I LOVED your comment that your boys know not to say "nasty" things about people.
Honestly that's what it comes down to. You are respectful and smart, and the other ladies all at one time or another made themselves look rotten through their words especially.

You're so dignified, especially compared to the nuts on this program.

I hope you read these, at least some, to see how many people say the same type of things.

All should work the show with Love and respect for each other.It only shows that Money doesn't make one, is what inside and not the outside.True colors cannot hide.You all think you are cut above and it is not so.Your kids are rude and need proper training when they go out; they need to know how to behave..Anyway,like how your husband can have fun when he goes out and daring to wear those outfit..Continue not to get in the Loud Mouths..Jill,Bthenny,Ramona they argue too much there are like empty barrels that make the most noise..What happen if your husband want to dance with you in that manner..Jill to make that comment that you both having sex at the charity..Jill need to shut her mouth and get her grove on..She never kiss her husband like love.hHer love life seems boring and stiff,need to lubricate.Her husband has no pip..Jill stop the Jealousy..Stick with your boring stiff husband that just shower you with what he knows best $16,00 hanbag outrageous that doesn't suffice for not having fun and letting loose..

I just saw the preview of the second part of the reunion show and kudos to you girl and to Jill, Bethenny and the Luanne for being honest to say that if you were to vote someone off the show it would be Kelly. That is what is needed which is something that Kelly cannot and will never bring to the show and that's HONESTY. Kelly is so darn busy trying to cover up her lies she gets her foot caught in her mouth. It was very disappointing but understandable that Alex refused to name some one but I think we weren't surprised. It doesn't mean it was neither bad nor good that she wouldn't, it was just something expected by her. What I do respect is the fact that out of the five of you four of you were completely honest and tried to do it in the most delicate way. I know that to some it may look like you got caught in lies but I've noticed that in social engagements like invitations to parties you may not want to attend you make up several stories as to why you didn't or couldn't go but honestly I think you just feel uncomfortable telling the real reason because you don't want to hurt someone's feelings so for that I forgive you and I think many will. Girl you are kooky and crazy and sometimes you do get on my nerves but that bit of honesty brought you up in my eyes.

You are clearly intelligent and add a fun element to the show. You're wrong about Betthanie however. You are blowing the "talking about people behind there backs" way out of proportion. NOT everything should be said face to face in such a confrontational manner. She was simply reflecting for the camera confessional in her usual manner, which is humorous and harsh. But, Betthanie is hard on herself as well and is not fake or malicious. Do yourself a favor and appologize to Betthanie.

I have to admit Alex I literally couldn't stand you last season but there has been a big change in you and I actually like you this year. You don't appear to be quite a pretentious as you were last season. I'm sorry you lost your job as I can completely understand the shock. This economy has hurt everyone. In fact because my husband's income has been cut in half we are now losing our home but all we can do is pray we will survive. It was quite scary wasn't it? Thankfully the good Lord was looking kindly down on you and brought you straight back up again. Maybe you also look so much better to many of us because since Kelly has come on to the show we can really see a nut job of a woman. She is definitely bipolar and needs help. She has been caught in more lies than anyone can count. She is without a doubt the most UNREAL Housewive of all the housewives among all the Housewives shows. Hopefully Bravo will spare us all from someone like that next season. Please you are going down a good road now so please stay away from her as she could be your downfall again. You are on the right path and stay there. Good luck on your child book.

Alex you are one cool lady. You really do let things just roll off of you. I too think Simon is a little strange, BUT I also do everything with my husband. Being older than you are, I have learned that if the invitation doen't include him, I usually don't go. LOL.
Good job this season and your boys are a delight!

Hi Alex.

You looked great and spoke eloquently at the Reunion show. I was so glad to hear you set the others straight on the fact that your kids were only 1 and 3, AND out late the night of the party last season with so called "bad behavior". Are they kidding? Anyone who has children knows that their behavior that night at their age and lack of sleep is totally normal. Obviously. That has really bothered me. I can only imagine how many children would truly benefit from having parents like you and Simon. Best of luck with your book. Oh, and the comment about Simon's brief moment of behavior the night of your birthday, Again, ridiculous. That was editing coupled with a normal human reaction under the circumstances, not indicative of anything else. Again, obviously.

Best of luck.

The first season you seemed so outwardly concerned with networking. I never felt like you were trying to make friends but rather establish networks and it felt so frigid and not at all genuine. This may be the same characteristic that everyone on the show has but I think the camera focused more on your and Simon's attempts to climb the social ladder. I think this season, as a result of being on the show, you are invited to more events because people actually know who you are and so that social climbing side isn't as evident. Also when I heard you were writing a parenting book I had a good laugh but when you said " on the experience of parenting" that made a huge difference and that I could see you executing with great success. I guess the overall impression I have now is that although I was incredibly turned off by many of your social climbing habits from season one, since you've appeared to get closer to where you want to be in the social fabric of New York, I have had a chance to see other characteristics of yours and Simon's personalities and to my surprise it's actually refreshing. For the most part you two can be very kind and loving and actually very helpful when anyone you at all consider a friend needs your help i.e. Bethenny. I think simon can sometimes be bizarre but he is always there for you and really does seem like a great friend/life partner/dad and that's something that every one can either aspire to or look to with respect. I guess just keep doing what you do and keep being yourself and you're set.

Alex, you and Simon are the BEST! I love the way you two are so confident in your relationship and in your lives in general. You two are the most authentic on the show! I never read blogs or let alone respond but I really wanted to send you this note. I will look forward to your book and I hope to see a season 3 for you NY girls! PS: I love you calling Bethany SNARKEY…SHE SO IS!!!

I have to say that you and Bethenny are my favorite of the housewives cast. You are by far the mellowest. Sorry to hear about your layoff and glad to hear you have found other opportunities. There are so many time I see you on the show and think that you would be perfect to play Elizabeth Montgomery's role from Bewitched if they ever did a revival. It would be great to see all of you doing a play for one of your charities reprising the rolls from the show. Just an idea; thought I'd put it out there.

Alex, i wanna admit something to you. The first series i did not like you and simon. But, this season as i watched again, i realized it is because i was jealous. your husband loves you tres, tres, much and he is very involved and i think it hit a nerve with me. my hubby is not as close and involved as that and i wish he were. kudos to you both. regardless of what others say, i think they might secretly feel as i did. i really learned to love you and your family and y'all (yes i am from texas) are "good eggs" as we say down south. don't listen to the haters. i am a married 37 yo with 2 kids of my own (1 boy who is 11, girl 7) and i can remember my only son acting just like your boys. nothing wrong there. boys are physical and enthusiastic and yours are precious. good luck in your life you guys deserve it. you are all a very class act. to simon: you are a GREAT husband and father! i wish more were like you. (sometimes, i wish mine were like you, he travels alot and i am lonely even when he's home?) PS: i don't have the $ y'all do, but if i did i would shop till i dropped like you guys do!!

Alex,

thank u for the being prompt in posting your blog unlike some others which I have yet to see. I think you and Simon are a wonderful couple, I speak from someone who has been married for 20 years, I think you are both really strong people. I also had 2 boys, they are boys for christ sakes there is nothing wrong with them.

Alex,
While you are not my favorite housewive, you are one of the smartest, sharpest, classiest and the most REAL housewive on the show. I like how you are honest and sincere; I can tell it is real when you say it, not just something for the camera. Congrats on the new job, happy day that you and Simon are so happy (and it shows), and here's wishing you much success on the new book.

You are one to watch -- and in a good way!

Alex, I didn't like you so much last season. But you seemed to be much more genuine and real and down-to-earth this season and it was a breath of fresh air. I do admire your ability to remain classy and dignified in the midst of tension. Best wishes always.

Dearest Alex!
Congrats on your new job...It sounds like a great and fun position, all the best to you! You and your family are a very special group...you and Simon are so kind and gracious..always helpful...I love your sense of humor and I think Francois and Johann are beautiful little boys..I have so much respect for the way in which you conducted yourself on the show...you have the patience of a saint. Anyone who has you and Simon as friends is truly blessed. I wish you and your family a most wonderful summer..I learned alot from you this time around...Thank you!

I can't say that I would ever be on "Team Alex" or "Team Simon", and I'm still not exactly sure what to think of you guys - but one thing is for sure, you guys seem like you are happy with each other and that's what is important. While I feel like I could relate more to Bethenny and Jill, I applaud you guys for never apologizing for who you are, what you like, or how you feel about each other. Your sense of style and taste is a bit odd, quirky if you will - but who am I to judge? I think you bring some quirkiness to the show, which is a good thing. I do admire the fact that you guys do not seem to let things bother you and do what you want. That's a good trait to have. You definitely know how to answer a question after actually thinking about what you are going to say - you don't just blurt things out. Again, an admirable quality. Although I don't know if I could ever see myself being a close friend of yours, I can admit that you have some respectful qualities and tend to handle yourself like a lady. Most importantly, you seem to love your life and the important people in it - so who could ask for anything more?

I really enjoyed this season. Loved your house, the boys are adorable, Simon earned massive respect for the tennis challenge....such a good sport. CUTE Halloween piece with your family. Glad you got your new job. Bravo for the reunion you are a lady with humor and grace. Have a great summer! You have earned it. cc

Alex, you are such a lady in the midst of what I call a "hot mess". I am glad that you mentioned the double standard when it comes to Bethenny in your blog. I believe that you did this because you care about her and were disappointed by her "reflections" during the season. We all know that you could care less about Ramona and Mario, which is why they weren't mentioned. Well done!

I have 2 boys now ages 32 and 30. Mothers of girls and especially mothers of only one girl should not throw stones. Boys are a totally different species and one boy does not count. Two or more boys can act alone or in a pack. The only bad judgement Alex and Simon have show is that they should never have taken their children to a dinner which runs late in the evening and to Zarin Fabrics when there were lots of things to get into while the adults must make decisions. When their boys start acting up take them out of the situation. Those boys were so cute with the pumpkins on Halloween (although the knife in the kids hands on the steps scared me bit). Alex and Simon congratulations on getting a book deal. Raising children is everything life is about. Your book sounds like it will be about your experiences. I am sure you have lots of them.

Hi Alex! I think you and Simon are a handsome couple and have enjoyed your contribution to the show. I LOVE the way Simon drives the other housewives crazy just being himself. It's funny how some people have a nack for that without even realizing it or trying. I applaud his individuality and his adoration for you! There obviously is some jealousy among the other housewives concerning you two, probably because you and Simon seem to have a really good thing going on and they wish they had such an attentive husband. I hope you continue to enjoy one another and life treats you and your family well. By the way, your boys are typical boys full of life and energy! The other housewives have made a big deal about them over nothing!

love your grace and the bond you have w husband and family! you and your husband have far more depth than the status-hungry image you are portrayed with --- whether or not you intended to convey that. i think a glimmer of some midwest grounding works in your favor, as it gives you a little more depth as a person.

You, Simon and the kids are adorable. Stay sweet and kind and live will be good to you all.

Alex I absoloutely love you and Simon! I think you of all of the other's showed more class in your little pinkie than any of them have ever had. For starters not once did you and Simon blast any of them behind their backs. You were so honest to look them all directly in the eyes and tell them how you felt. I admire that quality in any person. I am from Georgia and although I am mature, I dought I could restrain myself from going "redneck" on Ramona! LOL! I look forward to seeing you and Simon next season, and I want to wish you and your family lots of luck and good fortune, health and happiness.

Hi Alex

I've come to the conclusion that you and Simon are the only well-adjusted adults in this bunch. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to next season!

Alex, I was very proud of your this season. You always came across as very classy lady. You know when to shut up & when you speak you NEVER directly belittle people. I loved the way to spoke up to Bethany...you did a wonderful computer picture of Bethany,& she goes on to be snippy & rude in her remarks. She's a user! Listen, you & Simon are both enjoying your relationship and your children. Believe me, you & Ramona have the best married relationships. Jill is a gold digger & LuAnn is so fake. Alex, I became a BIGGER fan of yours this season!! Good luck with your new career, think of it as another chapter in your life!! Alex, you are very talented and are a beautiful women. My only suggestion would be, please do not pay $7000 for a burlap top again....that was totally silly!!! :-)

I really enjoy all the New York housewives except for Bethany F. They are all so pleasant in so many ways! I think and feel I understand their plite in life and they are ALL doing the BEST THEY CAN! Bethany is the most mean spirited, self cenered, ugly woman type I have ever known in my life. She is always...well what about me...how about me...what can you do for me...I such a victom...victom...victom. Bethany is a backstabber, coward, that uses people and I do mean uses all people! Bethany is so jelous of Kelly's physical beauty, LuAnn's title of countess, Ramona's abiliy to be brave in life, Alex's loving marrige and children, and Jill's lifestyle & family. She should be taken off the show.
