Life after Simon (the gay one)
Friday, February 5, 2010 
Gatecrasher is reporting that Alex and Simon have not been invited back for Season 4 (not the upcoming season, but the next one) of Real Housewives of New York City. " 'Viewers don't have a positive reaction to them, so they're easily replaceable at this point,' an insider said....."
What the f? I thought that unlikability was a main factor in being retained.
I have to say, I'm majorly disappointed. Watching these two posture and primp has been one of the best parts of this show. What do you think happened?

My favorite scene was when they were lounging in the backyard blowup pool (speedo, of course) and, once again, falling all over themselves to explain how Brooklyn (I think?) was as tres chic as Manhattan. Also, at times she looks okay and then in another shot (especially stills) she's unfortunately ugly - or is that just bitchy me noticing this?
Ewww. I won't miss them. Too 80's,,nobody likes an ass kisser.
I am sorry, but they are weird. Too weird for me to even guess what their real life is like
Look at the last picture on this post. Isn't that the Slade Date My Ex house?

Simon says on Facebook that no one has been approached for Season 4 at all. It's just gossip and Andy Cohen said the same.
Here's Simon's post:
Tks @BravoAndy who just told @LXTV that some wives like 2 stir up gossip/that @McCordAlex & I are back 4 S3/no discussions yet 4 S4 w/anyone
What do you think happened?
Asked for too much money.
The "viewers don't have a positive reaction" excuse doesn't wash. Kelly Bensimon was retained precisely BECAUSE she is so easy (and fun) to hate. And who has a "positive reaction" to Ramoner?
this has to be a rumor or anon has it. simon and skeletor totally asked for more money!!! fucking assholes!! now my tv experience won't be as enjoyable. but i am sure kelltard will make up for it. still...sads.
I think they want more money -- and they are planting the story...that is just their style!
I just find all of these to be sooooo entertaining! Hard to know what is true and how much is just staged. Characters abound!

If this is true that they've not been asked back it's probably because of their asshole kids. God, what obnoxious, ill-mannered and homely children they are.
Viewers not having a positive reaction to them could pertain to ALL of the housewives in EVERY series. I think they are only picked because of how much of a negative vibe they give.
LHOC, no it's not just you. She's unfortunately one of those people that need a little body fat to get fat in her face. I know cause when I get my butt looking good my face doesn't.
PLEASE.....say it isn't so!! Bad behavior and all around creepiness is what keeps me coming back week after week, and Alex and Simon are a big part of that. I don't think RHNYC would be nearly as much fun or entertaining without them!
no more nipple waxing? awww.... boo hoo! now she can be the woman she is meant to be...fat. she is a fat girl in a skinny body. maybe him too. hope they get to keep their edgy photo with the snake. i won't miss them a smidge. B BYE!
the only reason they could possibly be booted isn't because they're not likable (i agree with you!) but because they've just played out. they need to hurry and do something new like get pregnant or get involved in a vitamin-selling pyramid scheme. maybe BOTH.
My heart breaks at this news.
Who will be there to rile Ramoner up?
According to Simon himself via Facebook (yeah, he's on my friends list. SHADDUP!) rumors of their demise have been greatly exaggerated...He says it ain't true, they haven't been given the boot. Rest easy folks...
"He says it ain't true, they haven't been given the boot."
He also says he likes having sex with Alex.
I guess they have to go from being rejected by America to just being rejected at every S&M club in NYC.
Oh, Lori---they would "hurry up and get pregnant" if we hadn't been subjected to Simon waxing poetic about his vascetomy last season. I'm shocked you missed that Simon confessional. I haven't slept since I heard it last season. My ears are still singed and my mind is finished. For reference, it was apropos of nothing....Alex was trying to convince the audience that Brooklyn is cool (uh huh) and instead of being like Jill and engaging a big name (?) designer for Fashion Week NYC, Silex went to a shop in Brooklyn and as Alex showed off her boyish figure, Simon decided to overshare on his elective surgery to make sure the two hell children they have will be the last of his lineage. He may have even used the word "loins."
Yes, I just threw up in my mouth.
Silex, to their credit, have used every trick--available to them-- in the book to get attention. Having a baby is just beyond their means. I'm sure Alex would have rathered popped one out than wear that potato burlap sack last season. Just sayin'.
Why on Earth is everyone quoting Simon's Facebook denial?????? He's not an actual cast member...or has everyone forgotten that he only aspires to be the 6th (or 7th) Housewife. He is nothing more than the spouse of a woman in an ensemble reality tv show. 'Nuff said.
He is nothing more than the spouse of a woman in an ensemble reality tv show.
The topic at hand is precisely this guy and the "woman in an ensemble reality tv show." So yeah, quoting him is reasonable.
Oh, I hope it's true. This Simon makes my flesh crawl; the other one just makes my stomach turn.
Here's the inside info I have and the REAL reasons why the McCord's will not be appearing on the RHONYC anymore:
1. Francois has run away to join the cast of the Jersey Shore. He refers to himself as "Frankie from Brooklyn" and is currently commanding $5K to show up at Bar Mitzvahs.
2. Johan was last seen boozing it up at The Brass Monkey. He is Kelly's imaginary boyfriend.
3. Alex decided to not take more nekkid pictures of herself and not sell them to magazines. She plans on donating the payoff to burlap sack wearing skeletons who can't afford inflatable pools.
4. Simon has been working with scientists to develop a ground breaking polymer that will enable him to wear his pants even tighter. But don't tell anyone, you'll ruin the fucking surprise!
Yeah, Diana, I tried sharing that info too. It just got ignored. I thought about sending Simon over here, this is right up his alley,
well then WHAT IS THE POINT? i have to see what kind of outfits he gets to wear in the next season?? argh!!!
