The Real Housewives of New York

Y'all, everyone was the villain in season 10.

Luann threatened to kill a police officer. Bethenny insulted and picked fights with every single person except Sonja. Dorinda went on a drunken rampage. Ramona tried to instigate Bethenny repeatedly. Tinsley terrorized Scott until he submitted to living with her. Sonja did a bunch of "verbal waterboarding." Carole walked around looking like Jared Leto as the Joker the whole season. MY EVIL MOMS.
 
I just watched the S2 premiere and I didn't know about Jill vs Silex in the press. That was interesting and how relatively underproduced it was (I mean besides timing the phone call). It was funny seeing Bethenny run around and make faces during the phone call like they were in middle school. "Do I have anything in my teeth?" "It's over the phone, they can't see that". A classic. Lucy and Ethel are shook.

I thought it was interesting that Kelly kept emphasizing how she was scared to meet them and how she felt out of place and all of that. I wonder if she really was stressed out for trying to impress the group or not.

The sheer stanning in this thread has made me tempted to take the plunge... do I start with season 1, or jump into a more exciting year?

Start with 2 or 3. 1 has a couple of good moments but is really inessential. A lot of people start with 3 but 2 is really great!

Start with Season 3, it's probably the second best and not much happened before that point that they don't remind you of anyway.
 
I was watching that new Comedy Central show The Other Two yesterday and one of the characters pretended to be "Tinsley Mortimer from the Real Housewives Of New York" to walk on a red carpet but it didn't work then suddenly the real Tinsley appeared for a few seconds. Queen of acting!

Start from season 1. It’s less than 10 episodes and it’s worth it. Get a full grasp on the relationships!
 
I like starting with Season 1 but have it on while you are doing things. Season 2 is good but it’s the cast finding their feet and their dynamic. By the time of the reunion, everything is figured out and Season 3 starts off with a bang.

I’m currently on Season 8 of my rewatch. Jules is so painful. I’d take Kristen and Cindy over her. The only housewife that’s worse than Jules is Aviva. “Use your words, Writer Girl”. Heather is probably my favorite new housewife from season 5 and onwards.

I also watched the 100th episode special and I was shocked to see that Sonja auditioned/almost was in the first season of the show and that Aviva auditioned to be in season 4 (or 3?) and Bethenny suggested her for the show?
