The Real Housewives of New York City

Bravo is yet to make it official, but sources confirm to Us Weekly and a couple other outlets:

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 6 is a go, with all cast members having signed new contracts with the network following a round of tense negotiations.

As previously reported, LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Aviva Drescher, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Heather Thomson had banded together in an attempt to negotiate for more money.

The Real Housewives of New York City cast is typically known for slamming one another with every insult known to man.

So why are LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Aviva Drescher, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Heather Thomson actually coming together for a change?

Because they want to get paid!

According to TMZ, the six ladies were offered new, individual contracts by Bravo for Season 6 this week.

Jill Zarin was fired from The Real Housewives of New York City last year. And it's safe to say the reality star took the news hard. Very hard.

"It felt like my funeral," Zarin told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live last night. "I was heartbroken."

Among the many other topics covered by Zarin in the interview:

• Her fights with Bethenny Frankel were staged for ratings.
• Her feelings on newbies Aviva Drescher, Carole Radziwill and Heather Thomson.
• Her take on whether she can be replaced on the series: "You can't replace me! You can try, but you know you can't replace me."

Watch the embarrassing interview in its entirety now:

The Real Housewives of New York City reaches its less than explosive conclusion in Reunion Part 2. Who wants blood? Who still wants an apology and who just wants toast?

We break it all down in THG's +/- review.

We revisit LuAnn's alleged night with Tomas in St. Barths and even she has to admit the stories she wove sound ridiculous.  Plus 10.

The Real Housewives of New York City get hot and bothered on part one of their "Reunion" show.  We recap all of the catty confrontations in our THG +/- review.

"Holla!" is what Heather yells out in her opening clip of the show and it's always annoyed me. She thinks it sounds real. Really?  Minus 10. It just sounds silly coming out of a grown woman's mouth. 

Shocked, worried, and sad were the reactions when the new Housewives came on board and the old were let go.  Who knew that boring and annoying would be the end result for the season. Minus 15.

It's The Real Housewives of New York City and "All's Well that Doesn't End Well" in this season finale. As a matter of fact there are moments when it's downright painful.

We recap the anger, arguments, and lack of apologies in THG's +/- review.

Has anyone else had enough of the new girls this season?  Aviva is crazy but it's hard to be entertained when she's screeching every time she's on the screen.  On the flip side Heather and Carole are simply boring.  Minus 20.

The Real Housewives of New York City returns this week but "Don't Make Room For Daddy" as he inserts himself in the middle of the viper's nest. We recap the venomous name calling and vicious mean girl attacks in our THG +/- review.

I can't believe Aviva's father, George is back yet again.  Now we get to hear about his 20 something girlfriend and watch him shop for enhancement supplements to try and keep up with her.  He even throws in an incest joke for good measure.  Minus 20.

The Real Housewives of New York City comes back from vacation and "What Happens in St. Barths Doesn't Stay in St. Barths." We'll break down all the self righteous ranting and why Karma's a bitch in THG's exclusive +/- review.

The ladies make their way back to the city where their trip to St. Barths is rehashed until I thought I'd be nauseous if I heard about it one more time. Minus 12.

But the one thing no one is talking about…Luann and Tomas.  As Luann hangs all over her French boy toy everyone wonders what he knows but no one says a word.

Minus 8. I know it's unusually good manners on their part but I'm a bit disappointed that Luann didn't have to own up to her cheating ways.

Luann is still in baby making mode, even while Jacques takes off for two weeks to France.  I suppose with the magic of in-vitro-fertilization anything is possible.  I'm still surprised Luann isn't pushing for a ring on her finger first.

The Real Housewives of New York City quickly turned from "Vacation, All I Ever Wanted" to Get me the Hell out of here!  We recap who couldn't hold their alcohol and who had all the best lines in this THG +/- review.

Ramona and Sonja are still stinging from Aviva calling them white trash but they're also wondering what she meant…so they google the term.  HIlarious!  Plus 10.  How can you not laugh at these two?

Carole plans a dinner with just her, Russ, Aviva and Reid and doesn't invite the other women.  Minus 8.  She could have at least told them that she wanted some quiet time with Aviva.  Maybe that would have calmed things down.  Instead everyone ended up feeling slighted.

Then Aviva barges in on a private conversation between Ramona, Sonja, and Carole.  Minus 7.  Not cool.

St. Barts becomes "Slutty Island" as The Real Housewives of New York City kick their girl's vacation into high gear, but an extra guest changes everything.

We recap who's in need of medication and who should just go home in THG's +/- review.

It's the night after LuAnn's tryst with Tomas and she's being unusually quiet or as Sonja says, LuAnn is in "clamp down mode."  Whatever you want to call it, the Countess sure looks guilty.  Minus 7.  Was one night with Tomas really worth it?

I wonder if there's any real guilt here.  Would anyone be surprised if LuAnn and Jacques had an open relationship?

Tomas is certainly open for business as he flirts with the rest of the ladies.  Plus 10 to Tomas' broken English as he tries to use LuAnn's line and ends up with "money can't pay your class."  No.  No it can't.
