The Real Housewives of New York City is coming back for a third season of mischief and cat fighting on Bravo.
But will the cast remain intact?
Last season's new troublemaker, Kelly Bensimon, was the first to sign up for another go-around on the reality show, as sources told E! News" "She is considered the most hated woman in New York and will do anything to reverse that opinion."
Somewhere, Ruth Madoff can't believe she was overlooked for that honor.
The Real Annoying, Spoiled, Self-Serving Housewives of New York City are coming back to Bravo in early 2010.
Then there's the newly-engaged Bethenny Frankel, whose rep has also confirmed her return to the series that made her famous:
"Bethenny Frankel loves being part of the Bravo family, and if invited back, she will 100 percent RSVP for the Real Housewives party."
But the same can't be said for Jill Zarin and Ramona Singer. These two are reportedly holding out for a raise, as insiders say they see themselves as the actual stars of the show.
"Bravo put out that press release saying they're casting for new housewives because Jill and Ramona are playing hardball," said a source.
What do you think, readers? Should the show move on with Jill and Ramona? Or is this pair integral to its success?

Jill Zarin is 100% coming back for season 3. I know someone close to Jill and she said that Ramona is the only one holding out for more money. Jill has already signed her deal and is confirmed to return to the show!!

If Jill is not returning for season three I don't see the point to having said season. Jill is definitely the glue that binds the cast. Jill and Bethany really carry the show. The one cast member most of us would not miss is Kelly, she is usually in "Kelly Land". It is hard to comprehend that she has a post secondary education.... I was really pleased that the ladies called her out regarding her not having or caring to have other female friends. It says a lot about a female that wants male attention only. One would say she lacks a certain confidence. One more comment before closing. Jill has a wonderful family, Bobby the consummate gentleman, Allyson is such a beautiful young lady and her mom Gloria, could you ask for more.....

Give Jill and Ramona anything they want. I agree with Kathleen, no point in having season 3 without either one. They are huge assets to the show. Although the same could be said for Bethany--love, love, love her!

Does anyone believe that Ramona won't come back if she doesn't get more money? I'm frankly tired of the two and wouldn't mind some fresh new faces and not the tired old ones

I am tired of Ramona. I don't even like her and those eyes freak me out. I actually think this group is the most boring of the Real Housewives, but I'll watch them anyway if they come back. I liked Jill and Bethenny the best. Simon and Alex are ok also. I think that because they are so different it makes them interesting.

Jill is very replaceable. She is seriously over exposed and it shows. Her endless shilling for chocolates, fabric, charities and the like has become a bore and a viewing chore.
LuAnn and Ramona are also replaceable. Kelly would sign on first~why NOT add Ruth Madoff to the mix! Silex is definately worth keeping as is Bethenny~but the word is out that Bethenny has her OWN show! I can only imagine the behind the scenes fireworks!

The show is becoming a way for the housewives to promote their businesses, etc. Its becoming one BIG commerical ! I believe in self-promoting... but get back to the "housewife" part of the show... lets see their day-to-day lives... not how much money they can make by being on the show... come on already!

I could care less if self absorbed Jill came back. Her personality has changed over the last season, and it is noticeable on her blog site's also. People write to her, and if it dosen't have to do with decorating or how she can better herself or a compliment, I noticed she will not acknowledge a person.
Ramona just screams like an infant. Who cares about her? Ditch that Kelly also. She will NEVER change. Anyone who jogs down the middle of a busy street in the middle of traffic is a moron in need of therapy. Did you guys notice how she kept looking around to see who was looking at her ? LOL It was just too hysterical and pitiful. Bethenny and Alex are the only ones I care about. Alex is obviously the smartest of the group.
That was clear at the reunion show. And we all love Simon. As long as Bethenny does NOT whine about men, and show off her " Skinny " line 24/7, we will survive.
