Simon, I hope you and Alex had a good time in the Lone Star State---too bad you couldn't make it to our fair city of Austin. Just wanted to say I have liked you and Alex from Season One on primarily because you both seem rather normal and well-adjusted and I hope you return for the next season. It's refreshing to see a couple who are loving, supportive and respectful of one another. When many were slagging you during the first season I thought that what really saved you in my mind was your obvious devotion to your two boys and to Alex. It is touching, actually. You and Alex lend balance to the relative instability of the other players, excluding, perhaps, Bobby, Jason and Mario, sometimes:)I have been disappointed in Luann's behavior this season and equally so in Jill's. I can't figure them out, unless it is that they are being crazy like foxes because they know how to bump up the ratings and don't care about hurting people like Bethenny in the process. Unforgiveable behavior on Jill's part. Jill and Luann have demonstrated a breathtaking degree of hypocrisy. Dis-Countess, indeed! Anyway, best to you and your lovely family. I will check out your book!

Love you guys....can't wait to see you tomorrow night at Barnes in Boca....my sister and I are coming...we'll be the two "almost middle aged" blondes who you and Alex won't be able to resist chatting with....in case we forget to say it....we want to tell you how rockin' your house turned out...you guys get the decorator award for best house of the whole housewives franchise!!

You are Awesome!!! Keep the styles comin...Love it!!!

I thought I would be able to find out "early" what happens on tonight's show from East Coast Comments; guess not. I am looking forward to your commentary. Chow

Simon & Alex-
Your blogs are the the highlight of my week! I asked for a copy of your book for Mother's Day because your writing style and honesty are refreshing, witty and entertaining. Thank you (both of you) for being yourselves!

Simon,
I love reading your blog! I can never get through it without laughing. Your comments about the show are so dead on and they're exactly what all the viewers are thinking but dont get to voice. I love you and your family, your sons are normal little boys and noone should judge them. Goodluck with the book and keep being the voice of reason!!!

I have to say Simon, you are always right on, and I keep my ming open about everything I read or hear. From all sides, I do have to agree with everything you say. Please, please stay grounded and don't let this little show ever jade you. I think Alex is very lucky to have a best friend in her husband. I applaude your attitude and how real you are. It's refreshing in reality television. I work in television and I must say, I only tune in to get the real reactions from the husbands.

Simon, I love you, love you, love you...You bring a great sense of "common" sense and whimsey to the show. You and Alex are the solid foundation under what often seems to be a ridiculous and reckless breakdown of friendships.

I liked you both from the beginning and knew that eventually your kindess good nature would win out over all! Good luck to you and Alex on your book!

Wow, see I just blasted Jill for her self promotion (ugh)yet, I am hurrying to type this so I can see where in Florida you will be signing..I myself have no need for a child rearing book since I am proud parent to Bobby & Diana who would make any parent proud. :) I want to buy your book and have it signed just because I adore you and Alex...Your first appearances were hard for you both and yet sincere...:) We have come to see you both as beautifully in love and adoring parents to wonderful children...We are definitely Team anyone except the mean girls...:) Hopefully you will be at barnes n noble in WEllington. I will look now...otherwise I will just buy the book and give it to my girlfriends daughter for a baby shower present! Win Win right?

You and Alex are wonderful people who seem genuine in what you say and do with each other and cast members.

Have fun!

Dear Simon, I really like your family. You and Alex are the most normal couple of the show. Alex is really smart. She's one of my favorite girls on the show.

I think u & Alex r as sweet as apple pie!! I luv u guys, u have the perfect balance of sophistication & creativity!! Please don't change, hope the family is well, see u tomorrow on the tube!!

Love watching you both!

You and Alex are so refreshingly real!! Love watching you.

You and Alex are such a great balance for the show - and your boys are simply adorable.

Hope it was a fun season for you all.

simon and alex,
you both looked great on the wendy williams show this morning(4/21).
just love to hear you two talk and interact with one another with respect and kindness.
keep on being yourselves...
how you doin' ?
(o.m.g.)
simon your jacket was the best !!

Simon and Alex, I adress you both because you are two peas in a pod! Your comments read my thoughts and the thoughts most people want to express but cannot in person. Cudos to you and yours!

You are always on spot! And it's true there is no failure in trying, the only failure is in not trying at all!!!!

Simon I gotta be honest I was not you and Alex's biggest fan last year, but you two have completely redeemed yourselves...maybe you're getting a better edit this season. I love your blog and honesty, you calling as you see it and not digging, maybe you grew up a little since last season, I don't know I just know I think you're great. Alex is awesome too, this season she is so neutral and trying to be a real friend to all the wives. I am so glad she supported Bethany, I think Bethany really needed it. Thank you for you refreshing viewpoint and good luck with the book tour...blessings to you and Alex.

awesome.........thank you

Simon - I wish you would write a blog in-between your blogs ! It is too long of a time to wait an entire week in-between episodes. Please - if you and Alex would consider this for all of your die-hard blog reading fans !

I love you and Alex. You are truly exceptional people. Real to the bone. I wish you much success with your book and your beautiful boys.

Simon, I've really enjoyed your commentaries this season & must agree they are spot on. After watching last week's episode I have to say you showed amazing restraint while sitting next to Jill during the fashion show as she complained and criticized practically everything. Alex (and I'm sure you,too) worked so hard to put the show together. Jill is truly mean spirited.

I really don't think it's realization or self reflection that is prompting J's media interviews claiming a desire to mend fences."The Book" is being released and PR spin is desperately needed for this advice book. What you put out in the world often comes back, Karma is a bitch (as Jill is finding out), and timing is every thing!

Good luck with your book tour. Looking forward to future postings. ML

I look forward to your blog posts more than any one else's. I love you and Alex on this show. You should be very proud to have such a level headed beautiful wife and wonderful family. You guys keep the show grounded while also bringing in some off color "quirk". It evens out all the "crazy".

Your book was delivered today and have spent day reading it much to chagrin of employer. You and Alex are gifted writers and the book is wonderful.
They never print my comments but I hope this gets to you!
Great Job!

Simon,
I must say that your blog is funny, witty, entertaining and expertly writen! You are awesome and so is Alex! The housewives are lucky to have you both!!!
Jess in Okinawa!

Simon, I love reading your blogs! Your writing and opinion are spot on and you tell a good tale with class and grace! Every week when I go to the blogs page, I bypass everyone else's blog and go directly to your blog because without any regard you cut through the fluff and give it to us straight!

Simon- love your blog!!
Keep on being a great husband and father- and giving us your fabulous weekly summary.
I think by now you've realized you have the best NYC Housewife by far...

Simon,

You are hilarious! I'm not one to think everything's funny. However, you do have a way with words and you crack me up everytime. Good luck to you and Alex on your book tour! Much much sucess to you!!

really great commentary - as weird as you and alex are, you can tell that you are good, nice people; just enjoying the entrance into society :P enjoy it! and f everyone else! (as long as you don't hurt anyone). another thing that i can tell is that you and alex love each other. anyways, i'm glad for both of you and hope you both continue to give back to brooklyn :P

Simon
I love your blog, I go to it first always. I also love you and Alex and will buy your book

Simon, while your fashion sense is sometimes way quirky, LOL, I appreciate you and Alex so much this season. You guys are the peace keepers and Alex does it with grace. She is beautiful. And you must have been so proud when she was on the runway. She was so stunning. she had the perfect height, grace and looks. Her make up was perfect and she just looked ......wow....... Your look of adoration was priceless and I hope when Alex sees it that it only renews how much she should know that you care for her and her beauty. Good luck to you too.

Simon,

Excellent blog as always. Your points are spot on and fair to say the least. You and Alex are really shining through this season as the classiest of the bunch. You've totally grown on me and actually seem like a fun person to be around. Your children are precious as well.

I truly do not know how you and Alex are able to stay out of all the drama, but it shows that you both have a level of class that none of these women possess. I think it is admirable that you have befriended Ramona after the way she treated you both the last 2 seasons. Best of luck to you on your book and can't wait to read next week's blog after the season finale!

Simon ~

Love what you say, I really think you and Alex became the new fav! I think what Jill and Luann thought about your wifes event was classless and tacky--these so-called-women wouldn't know what class was even if it hit them in the face. Alex is a wonderful beautiful classy lady and I think she handles herself with the most respect, in which Alex all deserves.

Hugs and Kisses to you both!!

Team SIMON! I love your blogs, such wit! Look forward to reading your take every week, good luck with your book!

Wishing you and your family many blessings! Good things happen to good people!

Simon,
I get that your blog rehashes scenes minute by minute, including what each woman wore, noting Bethenny in the same outfit twice...heaven forbid!...or is this television...and the shooting was planned to get done all in one day??, but do give some of the ladies a break.
So what if LuAnn keeps mentioning she was married 16 years. No one said divorce is easy to get over, so cut her some slack in your constantly mentioning it in your blog. If it bugs you so much, why do you keep repeating the same thing over and over and over in blog after blog, too??...

Didn't like you in season one. Like you better now. Blog On.

Your blogs are the best, look forward to them every week :) Love you guys!! Agree with what you said about Jill. Bethenny and Alex are my 2 fave girls, and your obviously the best guy lol.

Simon, again you hit the mark with another awesome blog on the show. Truly appreciate the observance of reserve comments for the right time right place. The McCord/van Kempen's should make a shirt with a picture of a coffee filter and in quotes it should say "after 16 years, you need a new filter". Bwahahaha.

Simon, I have to say I love your insights on the episodes. If there is any royalty on that show its Alex and you. Please don’t let Kelly turn you into another her, you and Alex are not only smart but empathic and caring. Wear whatever you feel like!!!!!! Stay real….May your family stay healthy and happy!

Bravo (ahem) Simon. You always hit the nail perfectly. You and alex are so real and both act like true adults. How funny that you were the two that got trashed so much and yet you seem to be the only two who "get it". Keep it real. I'm sure you will. Thanks for your blogs. They are great!

YOU LET KELLY TAKE YOU SHOPPING??? Come on Simon she has the worst taste in clothing next Ramona.

Simon,
I like you and Alex-you are clearly the decent ones on the show-but reading all the comments,makes me think that you only allow ones that praise SILEX.Sort of like making sure that whatever winds up on film,makes you guys look good.

Thank you for calling out the psychic. Any goofball with a PC and internet access could have chanelled that information. Most of the people I've met who claim psychic abilities are people desperate to claim something "special" about themselves. But kudos to them if they can find silly people to pay for the act.

I loved Alex in the fashion show (and in the show in general). Jill just not going to see anything good. And Jill was right: Luanne would have loved to have rudely trashed the whole scene. I wish someone would tell Luanne that univited diminutives are condescending and rude. I hate when people take liberties with my name.

Best of luck to you and Alex on the book. These crazy chicks are lucky to have the two of you for friends, because there are not too many people who would put up with all their immature, "mean girl" antics.

the first 2 seasons - I thought you guys were strange - what I see this season (and I could be wrong) - you both are more comfortable and more real on the show -unlike Jill and Luanne - I think they came off the past two seasons as real but the more comfortable they get the more their true colors show.

If you are friends with Kelly - could you tell her she needs help! Why is she so hung up on B!

thanks!

Hi Simon! I know you were just being your polite, gentlemanly self, which is what you are supposed to do in the grown up world,,, but man - I would have given anything to see you turn to Jill and tell her to take her over inflated head home and let everyone else have a good time. Back to her imaginary world where she is somebody and everyone else is graced by her mere presence. Thank goodness LuAnn wasn't w/her - can you imagine that bad behavior times two? That's exactly what it would have been. I am so glad Alex has stood up to her. It's been a long time coming. I see it more clearly than ever now. She has been tough on you guys. You are right to handle her how you have and Alex has put her in her place woman to woman. See where Jill takes it from here. I have a feeling next year butter will melt -Jill will be so nice trying to save face.

you're my favorite blogger. please keep it up

You are full of entertainment yet kind to people...you could teach Luann and Jill a thing or two.

Love you Simon...you and Alex are a breath of fresh air this year!!! I wish they showed more of you and your family.
