Alex McCord, one of the Real Housewives of NYC
As one Real Housewives franchise ends its season, another is primed and ready to take over the over-the-top dramatics and feuds that audiences can’t seem to get enough of over at Bravo. The Real Housewives of New York City kicks off season three tonight and, after previewing the numerous finger waving and verbal fights in the season premiere, I spoke with cast member Alex McCord about what actually goes on behind the cameras. McCord, who has been on the show since it began in 2008, shared why this season is the best yet and also had some choice things to say about how long of a fuse she really has, hocking your jewelry at a party and what shooting the controversial (and often volatile) reunion show is really like.
Jim Halterman: What’s new overall this season for you and your husband, Simon?
Alex McCord: Life has certainly changed for me. The first two seasons of the show I worked full-time for a large retailer and I pretty much filmed on the weekends so this year I’ve gone into business for myself so you see me working a lot [and] meeting with my clients. One thing that’s really big is that as our renovations are done, it’s not so much about us working on the house as it is about us being in the house.
JH: And how about on the show? Can we expect the usual fireworks between everyone?
AM: There are some crazy things this season. One of the things that I think is great about doing the show with the same group of women over three years is that everyone … you see the true colors, alliances shift in surprising ways. I can’t wait to see what [the producers] do. We filmed probably enough for two seasons…CLICK HERE FOR MORE
