Simon and Alex, you rock as couple on this show, I loved the suprised party for alex,and the best part for me was when you took her to the shop, and to see alex try on the feed The hunger top on brought tears to my eyes.
I have a non-profit organization working with Mal Nutrition in congo to reduce the death of children less then seven years of age.(www.ehobo.org)or Empowering Humanity One by one, I thank you both for your grateful heart. Is Alex birthday April 14th?, if it is we have the same birthday. God bless you and yours.

Simon,

All I want to say is that I really enjoy how much patience you have with the "crazy women" of the show. I think you genuinely love your wife. It's very sweet how you treat her and it really reminds me of the way my husband treats me. BTW - his name is Simon too, it might be in the name. Good luck with your marriage and raising your beautiful kids.

Simon & Alex,
You both seem to be the most down to earth of the couples on the show, but I was appalled at the behaviour you allowed your son to exhibit at the dinner party. First the screaming and then allowing him to 'stab' another guests' food. This is a child who is way out of control and it will only continue to get worse. Does he have any boundries or do you allow him to do anything he wants to do in the name of "having a happy childhood"? You present yourselves as very loving parents but this is not the way to show it. Please, start teaching your children how to behave properly and do everyone a favor. Good luck.

Dude,

That was f___ing hilarious! At one point in your blog you mentioned Kelly was acting like a nut because she enjoyed jogging in front of a N.Y. taxi. It just made me giggle for some reason. :P Also, random but I had no idea how young your wife is till I read somewhere that she is 35. I'm 7 years her junior so we're close in age. I had no idea. She looks youthful in appearance but I figured all of these women were close in age. Anyway, both you of seem friendly (from the episodes) so keep up the good work and have a ball. :)

You & Alex make a great couple!

Ignore all the negativity from Ramona - she's completely LOOPY (& unfortunaely it seems to have rubbed off on Mario).

You & Alex are the most sane people on the show! You have class, manners & wit. You both seem to be considerate to everyone around you (unlike Ram-Mario) - the other cast members have a lot to learn from you two :)

Simon, I applaud you and Alex for being the real couple that everyone should demonstrate. You can tell that you two are truly in love! My husband too loves shopping and picking out clothes together. As for the birthday scene I haven't got to see it yet. I'm sure it was very special. I would like to see the new renovations to your home. That hasn't been shot and I hope it will.

Simon, I love how you and Alex are bestfriends as well as husband and wife. You and Alex are a good example of a caring and devoted family.

Simon, you and Alex have really grown on me this past year. I hope that we see more of you two during the next season.

Now having said that .... please leave the snarky comments off your blog or reread it and then ask yourself if you're truly showcasing yourself in the best light? It reads 'petty'.

I know you get attacked often, but your anger is starting to show. This is what happens when 6 women are forced together. If you don't like the way they are treating you, then remove yourself from the situation. I realize your relationship with Alex, but you're stealing her thunder. Everytime she's on camera, you have to jump in front or make some off the wall sexual comment. You can't have it both ways.

First of all I do not get how taking a different route home is suppose to be suprise to anyone? And secondly to have a complete 5 year old fit when the driver goes the wrong way. What is that?!? It clearly made your wife feel uncomfortable and embarassed. You should of played it off like nothing every was planned or happened because guess what? Crap happpens and things don't always go as planned and that doesn't take away the fact that you acknowledged the day your wife was born. That was the most important thing.

Simon, looking forward to your blog for this week's episode..hope it's in the making. All the best to Alex and you.

It's really hard to tell from a reality show exactly what the cast members true personalities are, but from reading everyone's blogs, I'd have to say that you, Simon, seem to be the most honest and hit the nail on the head regarding the other's behaviors. I have noticed myself that Bethanny seems to think she's immune to basic human kindness and can talk about anyone as if she is the authority on all. It grates on the nerves after the first 90 times. And don't even get me started on Kelly, Jill and Ramona. They defy description. Anyway, just wanted to tell you Simon, you can now put your fan count at 37!!! Great news much?

Hello Simon,
I also like you and Alex your love for her and her love for you shines through, I like to see that. But If my spouse or boyfriend tagged along every where I went and on lady nights I would ditch his butt. Women need to breath and at a distance from there husbands or boyfriends. But even after that all said Love you and Alex. Oh and please stay away from Romona she is out of contol.

Hi Simon, Loved your tennis match with Jill...and while you were sick !I even liked what you wore. So what if It wasn't up to date fashion Mario.We all can't spend a fortune on tennis clothes. Well done! I've written on this blog twice and it hasn't been posted. If it is, sorry if I repeat myself.

Simon,

You did a great job handling the drama with Ramona and Mario from the beginning. When Mario has to many drinks he looses it. I have to admit I love his meltdowns, they are almost and great as his wife's. I just hope they target someone else from now on because you and Alex are great!!!!!!!

Hi Simon,
I hope you have a blog for this weeks current episode, Yours are my favorite.

Hi Simon:
I love the way you treat your wife and children. Bravo!

I am kinda beginning to think you aren't as bad as everyone says. Ramona and Mario are very sickening and over dramatic for the show they need to tone it down, but you and your family are getting to be more real...COOL

I started liking Simon and Alex when I saw how much they enjoyed that blowup pool in their little backyard. What a contrast of lifestyle! lol.. From rubbing elbows with NY's Finest Snobs, to hangin' in the yard in a 5 foot rubber pool.

Simone you are the man! I love you and the way that pay close attention to your wife and children. Your the best... I have really come to like you.... keep it up ;-)

Cheers to you for playing the tennis match with Jill. Both of you were such good sports. And while you were sick, that was above and beyond!!!!I also liked your outfit, sweat band and all.You were there to play, not to be in a fashion show. Well Done!

Simon are you that shallow that you need to tell the public how much you spend on your purchases. Do you have such a low self esteem that you need to reveal this information? I can outspend you but I care not to be so blatant.

well i thought i would never write this however i find myself liking you and your wife alex more each day. your blogs have humor and insight and i enjoy reading them i wish that you came off that way on camera so much for editing. boy wait till college costs come up those earrings will be good to pawn but happy birthday to alex and wear those in good health.

Congrats Simon! You and Alex stole the show with your hilarious costume and, once again, showed us all what marriage is supposed to look like! As a victim of a recent abusive relationship, I feel nothing but happiness for you both. You give people like me hope that real love does exist!

Simon, I am finally starting to like you a bit..... don't ruin it by snarking on Bethanny all the time :(

SIMON:
I CANNOT BELIEVE you spent $7000 on a recycled burlap bag that reads "FEED" across your wife's bosom. Are you kidding?! I give you that it was for charity - but I think you two are delusional on how fashionable or "corset couture" (as you put it)it is....UGH!!!LOL Oh, and how you say how Alex "always fits in sample sizes". You sound so pretentious sometimes!! She has a beautiful body but your comments are cause for eye rolling!!

Also - (second post on this) and I would like a response - Why do the earrings you bought Alex for her birthday look like the EXACT SAME earrings she wore at Jill's party last season??

Simon! Simon! Simon!
Happy Birthday Alex!! Well... it might have been more fun IF Simon hadn't ruined it so obviously w his unbelievable tantrum! in the limo! I saw the shock and disaopintment on your face! I too felt it! What stearted outas truly toucjhing and thoughtful and romantic,soon turned into a shock! Felt sorry for the driver too!
Like so many who have blogged before me I like you nd Alex alot more this season, but I just watched the Birthday Surprise editon again and felt I HAD TO WRITE and admonish you for your "tantrum-like" behavior!What if your sons had seen that?! I hope they don't have any of that type of example at home to model themselves after! Enough said!! ( I LOVED THE EARRINGS!! and they looked SMASHING on HER!)

On the other hand, you and Alex started out seeming like "climbers" if you know what I mean... but this season you both seem more "down to earth." I hope it continues and a big KUDOS for doing the tennis match, regardless, of how you might come off to any onlookers. I know you weren't feeling well and I was so cheering for you too, but you played the BEST match for your fortitude and willingness to make the effort! BRAVO!

It is so nice to see a REAL couple who really care so much for each other on the REALity TV shows that are out there today! Carry on!

Cathy from Iowa

Absolutely LOVE you and Alex on the show. You seem to be the only REAL people too!

You have a loving relationship with your wife and are a wonderful father as well.

Keep being who you are please!

Simon,

I do agree with you about Bethenny that she loves to trash people behind their backs. It seems to be her favorite pastime this season, it's not very attractive and mean spirited.

I though Mario's comment about your attire was funny. You claim to be a huge fashionista and then dressed in a way that deserved some playful banter. He said it to your face unlike your other castmates. Get over it and move on...

As for Ramona, you have gone out of your way to create drama with her! Come on, just admit your mad desire to be one of the housewives. What better way than to purposely push her buttons? She was avoiding you and what did you do in return? Start drama instead of leaving well enough alone. Way too obvious!

Jill and Bethenny used you to hurt someone else, why would you take part in their mean highschool games? Can you say - spotlight?

Since you enjoy pointing out everyone else's flaws, be sure to do a little self reflecting and include your own.

I actually like you more than I did last year but I wish you would lighten up a little and show a sense of humor.
You looked foolish on the tennis court and should be able to take a little ribbing from the people that were the intended targets.

Simon,

I'm still not sure why you get to have a blog on the Bravo website - you're not a housewife?

Although you love the spotlight - why would you accept Jill's invitation when you has the FLU and you can't play?
How could you compete againt Mario? It was pathetic. I hear you started you're OWN fan Club - how desparate it that! Do you check it a 1,000 times a day to try and boost your ego?

Get over yourself --- we want to see the ladies ---stick to the hotel business!

Simon, I want you to know how much it touches our hearts to hear your wife say that you 'have take care of her heart'. It moved me to tears how thankful she is that you have honored her. I know Bravo tends to edit things out (anybody breathing can tell!) and we know when Bravo goes on and on and on about a little incident of you being upset as if it lasted forever! The love story between you and Alex is something I look forward to seeing again. I think it shows how gracious you are when you talk of Luann and what she is going through compared to Mario and his snide, hateful comments about her. Anyone can see your great character compared to Mario's just by looking at your wife. The Lord bless you for openly taking great care of her heart!

Simon you are a hoot and a half. I think you and alex spend waaaaaaaay out of what your true lifestyle dictates. And that melt down you had over alex's surprise was just out rageous. It was bizarre and hard to watch and then that 'pop goes the weasel' comment sent it all over the edge. Im curious why you dont have an australian accent..I mean its sort of an 'affected' english accent while trying to pass yourself off as french or something.

The firecracker comment was priceless!!!

I agree with you...No more from Mario about the stupid tennis!! He's obsessed/possessed.... From the other blogs, it seems he only wanted to do that match to get himself a free membership at that club, anyway... In my opinion, he wanted more air/camera time. Maybe he's a little jealous that Ramona is the one who is in focus on the show. I love their daughter, Avery, and hope that she keeps her level head and has no ill effects from their behavior on the show, especially the way that Mario speaks to and about women. Your wife is a doll. Not only very pretty and a good mom and wife, but, extremely patient, calm and graceful. She's kind to everyone. You do owe her lots of hugs for tolerating your "flip out" in the limo. We know that you meant well and just wanted everything perfect for her birthday, but, things happen. She handled it well...

You know, I have to say, I agree with the person who said they're not buying the sudden outpour of positive comments from viewers. Simon is so annoying and so obviously in need of attention and airtime, I just can't see how so many people actually enjoy watching him. Either these two are so obsessed with their personal image that they stooped to the low level of writing these comments themselves or are they're paying people (friends, whoever...) to say these things for them. Honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock to me.

And, Simon, SERIOUSLY, for the last time...enough with the recaps!!! If you're going to blog, then BLOG!! Oh, and enough with the cattiness, a TRUE gentleman would never disrespect other woman, and quite frankly, you sound worse than the housewives.

Simon,
I'm sorry to bring up the tennis match up again, but I have to say it. You looked real. Not like a french gay gym teacher. Your cool. Stay that way and don't change for anyone. Gay people are cool too.

Hello...I actually love the recaps...you are usually dead on...and i like the fact that you use humor and sarcasm in your blogs..but it comes out in a way that is nice and not so mean spirited as i have just read on Mario's blog...what a tool he is...congrats on your relationship with your wife...you get it and it's soo nice to see you two love eachother...

PS: Please Simon tell Bravo to get that Kelly off the show....she doesn't do anything...and everytime she is on.. i turn the channel......

Simon you are a great husband. Keep it up.

Simon (and Alex):

You are two of the most gracious people I have ever seen - on reality TV or in my own social Peyton Place, which is Sewickley, PA. You two have taken a lot of crap to your faces, and behind your backs, yet you continue to attend the fundraisers, you help out when you are able - and you are able to laugh at yourselves, even while going toe to toe with people who have more money than class.

I think that 80% of the time you two smile serenely, nod, and walk away... damn I need to learn that! :-D Enjoy this time - I hope it pays for a truly kick ass reno - as well as perhaps help to tide you over during Alex's "down time." I hope that has ended and that we're just behind due to the TV schedule.

Best regards - you rock!
Chrissy

Simon,

First, you need to allow Alex to "shine". After all, this IS "Housewives" of New York City. Stop stealing the spotlight with your neurotic control issues. Someone ruined Alex's birthday surprise . . . . . get over it. You looked like a nut in the last episode.

Simon! Tonight, Saturday April 18th, as I was walking down Court St., I saw you, your wife, and your kids, at about 10 pm. You and Alex had your kids on your shoulders and were probably going home. I love the show and it was really cool to see you! I didn't stop you because I didn't wanna be bothersome. Will you give a shout out to me on your next blog posting? Please?!?
Last season I didn't like you guys so much, but this season I'm liking you better as I get to see other sides of you. Although you did lose your cool on the car with the whole "surprise" thing But, that's what keeps the show interesting; life is not all roses. Anyway, I look forward to the next episode.And don't forget the shout out! Paola.

Simon, BRAVO for at least planning a special birthday for Alex! There were a few hiccups, but its obvious to us viewers that Alex is appreciative of whatever you do (oh, by the way, LOVE her eyes during your brief tantrum in the limo! so funny!) I also have two small sons, so I think its really important that they learn from daddy how to show love and affection to a woman. I also think its important to learn from mommy how to be both grateful and gracious when receiving. You two are doing well!

Simon: You and Alex are the sharpest tools in THIS shed! Bethenny's intent w/the tennis matchup was malicious. So are her "imitations", which are really mean-spirited mockery. She backtracked a lot after her blog caused lots of negative feedback. Alex is lovely and you are a real power couple.

I'm beginning to really like you and Alex more this season of The Housewives and your boys are adorable. Good luck to both of you!

Thank You for clearing up the scene of you being angry when the limo takes the wrong turn to your wife's Birthday Party. Now it makes sense!!!! Total Sense!
It was the Bravo crew! Of course. I did not quite get that from reading your wife's blog, but now I do!

Wish you had not been sick when playing the Tennis Match.
You did a good job that morning in practice game. You would have been a better partner if not sick.

I still think Miss Ramona went home and BLEW A GASKET!!!
That's why "Mario Old'Chap'Tennis Pro" can't let it go.
She's still blowing!!!!! HAHAHA!!! Love it!!!

Looking forward to seeing your cute and sweet sons in Zarin Fabric store. My favorite scene is when your oldest boy tells the School Interviewer, "GIVE ME SOMETHING HARDER!!!!". Prescious!

Simon, do you really read these blogs...I have asked you and Alex to get in touch w/me because of something very important....Concerning my niece that is 27 and is terminal..Have not heard from you...But the rest of the girls except KELLY the one that needs anger management...DON"T NEED HER ADVICE...But really need to have some advice from you, please email me at sandiblusher@yahoo.com would love to hear from you...AND I LOVE YOU! THINK YOUR GREAT

Most people are not all black or all white - most of us are shades of gray! Way to show
respect for your wife on her birthday!!! You're aces for that alone - respecting and adoring your wife!

Simon I really love you and alex together. You both have a great sense of humor and don't let the little things bother you. There are bigger things to worry about then who won a tennis match. Just keep smiling and being your happy selves.

Okay Simon. I read some of your other blogs and do agree that you got a little too hot under the color with the birthday debacle. You are a very generous and loving man when it comes to your family and friends and always have the best of intentions.
