Jill is still crying over Bethenny. The Countess and Sonja are double dating with young hot men. Brooklyn outcast Alex is feeling combative and ready for round two with “mean girl” and yenta Jill. Outspoken Ramona is still blunt (thankfully) and still tight with hot hubby Mario so it’s no wonder she may be preggers. Kelly is still in tip-top shape and best buds with Jill, and new girl- spa owner and single mom via IVF Cindy Barshop may find herself on the brunette team ready to battle the blondes. Does the new season have spice? There’s an appetizing peppery aroma in the air, but will the pot boil over? Not so sure, but one can hope. Of course, Jill’s likable hubby Bobby is back as well as Simon who works at home now and according to Ramona, “I like him, he’s grown on me.” At the very least, the trip the gals take to Morocco resembling the ‘Sex and the City’ gals should be worth the wait. ‘The Real Housewives of NYC’ season 4 returns Thursday, April 7 at 10p ET.
