Who's the Boss?

Tamra shares some advice for Silex and gets pumped for the premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

By Tamra Judge

Sorry for not blogging last week. Ryan had surgery and like most moms my energy was focused on him. He broke his foot three months ago and needed surgery, but he didn't have health insurance because he had just started a new job. Long story short, he broke his foot again and needed pins and screws. Get better Ryan.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

So I can't believe next week we say good-bye to our favorite bitches. Seems like just yesterday we were so excited to tune in and watch New York's finest. There was lil' Simon in his Speedo and hairy nipples, Ramona with her crazy eyes and wild arms, Lady B with her one-liners and rocking bod, LuAnn letting everyone know she was The Countess, Kelly with a huge smile looking medicated and Jill trying to sell everything she can to make a Bravo buck. Funny how I wrote about Simon and NOT Alex....who's the housewife in that relationship?

So Alex and Simon need drapes, and what better place to go than Zarin Fabric? They bring their horribly behaved children, who rip through all the fabric, bounce on the furniture and run down the aisles. It personally drives me nuts to see children act like that - I don't know how Jill kept so calm. You know she wanted to knock their heads together. I have two boys and two girls and know it isn't always easy to keep them in line. But I have to say when I give my kids "the look" (which isn't that easy with this much Botox) they know to stop. Silex you need to show those kids who's boss!

B goes to see Francky to get her roots done. He has a name I have never heard before and I keep saying it over and over again in my head just because. Francky, a very hot gay man (go figure) has a piece of hot model butt for B. After Googling her name and showing him her pic, he was ready to jump on board. B demanded to see what picture he saw, and then proceeded to say, "I don't blame him, that's a good one." You gotta give the girl props for letting everyone know she thinks she's HOT. So they meet at a restaurant and clearly B brought the twins out to play. Way to rock the titties! They had a cute little conversation and he clearly only understood about 50% of what she was talking about, which was probably a good thing since she wouldn't shut up. She seemed a little nervous. I see it going NOWHERE FAST, but that's OK, because unmarried B and Gay Francky made a deal: "If we're still single when we turn 40, let's marry each other." Don't bother, just let him knock you up and call it day. No need to complicate things.

I was really excited about seeing Simon and Alex's house. Although it wasn't my taste, I though it looked wonderful. (I was going to say amazing...but Kelly truly ran that word into the ground.) I almost think the Alice Cooper picture works - who knew?

The whole conversation with Bethenny and Kelly was confusing and a waste of B's time. How can you argue with someone who can't even speak? Kelly is really OUT there. I can't figure this girl out. If I have to hear that baby voice one more time I am going jump in the TV and sew her lips together. For the record, I don't believe Kelly is dating Max for a New York minute. I think it is a lame excuse for Max to get camera time.

OK so I saw the commercial for New Jersey and thought to myself, I can't wait! I got out my phone and texted Jacqueline (one of the New Jersey wives) and she was watching the NY show at the same time. So we get to texting back and forth and OMG, let me just tell you how much I love this girl.

Ramona walks into the plastic surgeon's office to get her pits under control. She goes on to tell the doc about her excessive sweating. Then Jackie says to me, "At least she is not talking about her chuckie odor, maybe she needs to douche those pits." I almost died laughing. Yes, chuckie odor is exactly what you think it is. And J is the quiet one on the show. Can't wait! I'm thinking that NY has kind of lost its momentum - it came out strong, but fizzled out. As much we all want everyone to get along and like each other, it just doesn't make good TV. I think B brought a lot to the table this season and the show would not be the same without her. The previews for next week look great and I really hope they bring it, as I am going Tweet with the fans and I really need some juice!

OK so this is something I never do...self-promote! Everyone else does so here I go. I've been working out like a mad woman recently. As a 41-year-old mother of four, it isn't always easy to have the energy I need. Vick turned me on to Duzoxin, a product she uses for weight management. For me I take one pill before I work out and it gives me the energy I need. Of course working out and a good diet are still needed. I highly recommend it.
