Bravo hits another home run, if you define "home run" by saying that it has once again put together a show featuring horrible, badly-mannered, desperate, idiotic women acting horribly, featuring bad manners, looking desperate and idiotic.
Does Bravo just hate women this much? I suspect yes.
Not going to tune in again.

Watched it out of boredom and apparent self-loathing. What a surprise that this aging trio of harpies are all single, right???
The SanFran one was so cute, but so nervous and annoying. Ditto her brother.
The NYC one was just...blah. Boring. But at least she seemed professional and intelligent.
The LA one was a trashy bitch with a hideous dye-job. Nice job blatantly using a poor bastard after an awkward first date! Her family should be mortified because they seemed nice in her intro.
Yawn. Won't tune in again unless the trashy bitch gets tricked into moving a bunch of heavy boxes.

I liked it...was expecting worse when I heard Ashley Tisdale was a producer. I thought the girls in some aspect of their lives were relatable: moving away & getting a fresh start, seeing your ex because you want to but know you shouldn't want to, the older brother or family member that sometimes is the only one who can bring up a new perspective.
I think the reason I liked it is because this relates to my demographic (23 years old) more, I watch all the Housewives shows to see older, crazy ladies. My friends and I watched it together and we all had common experiences or problems, and even joking naming who acted the most like which of the 3 girls.
Julia, Chicago/LA girl- That poor guy had barely pulled out of her driveway (editing?) before she called him. I couldn't believe how badly she butchered what she was trying to say. She's got a big personality, a loud mouth and lots of opinions which makes for good TV. The list of things her potential husband needed was ridiculous. A good photographer? Had to read certain magazines? Goooood luck with that. And how is she the most hated person on the Internet? Never heard of you. I'd say she's my least favorite.
Emily, San Fran-- Endearing. I liked her brother too. I'm curious to see how her story unfolds and find out why is she so anti-monogamy.
Amy, NY-- Liked her although I really hate the whole "matchmaker" deal. Patti Stanger probably turned me off them entirely. I like that she's intelligent, and its funny/normal that she breaks all her own rules. AB seemed like a smug jerk though. Did his glasses really match his tie or was that my crappy TV?

So this is a show about women who make a living advising other women on dating and sex and they don't take their own advice and their own relationship lives are trainwrecks? And they're all annoying harpies? And I'm watching this because?
Well said.Bravo hits another home run, if you define "home run" by saying that it has once again put together a show featuring horrible, badly-mannered, desperate, idiotic women acting horribly, featuring bad manners, looking desperate and idiotic.
Does Bravo just hate women this much? I suspect yes.
Was she the same one who had dated John McCain's son or am I confused? I could see if she dared say anything bad about a Republican, the wingnut bloggers could have all gone after her. But surely she realizes that's a pretty small sector of society. She seemed to enjoy her whole I'm so hated schtick a bit too much.And how is she the most hated person on the Internet?

I watched this show, out of curiosity, because I'm in my early 30s, never married, and dating again after a long hiatus. So I wanted to see how Bravo would spin the adventures of other women in similar circumstances. I mean, I watch many of the Real Housewives of Whatever, but I often lack some degree of sympathy for the single ones, because none of them are of the "single, never married" variety, instead all of them are of the "divorced or widowed" type. So it's interesting to see some reality shows of professional, single women, out there who have never gotten married before.
The hard thing about watching all three of these women last night is that I knew exactly what mistakes they were going to make (or make) as they were making them:
1) LA girl: don't lead the nice (somewhat cute guy) on. Don't use him for his muscles and don't offer to be his friend. Just cut your losses after the dinner and be on your way. Seriously, that checklist is never going to work for you, as long as you hold to the belief that interests are more important than values. Thought it was interesting she didn't want a nice guy.
2) NYC girl: Don't ever give someone that hurt you so badly a second chance. He didn't give your feelings any consideration when he left without any notice, so protect yourself and stay away. He wanted to see you to check in on you and for the ego stroke. He doesn't deserve either.
3) San Fran girl:She works too much and is carrying too much baggage from her folks. She also is free with the sexual goods, but not with the emotional stuff, so isn't really available for a relationship. Guys pick up on that, too, so, while she doesn't have problem getting dates, she won't get a long term relationship, if that's what she wants. Loved the insight from her brother at dinner, though.
Actually, all these women came off as emotionally unavailable in some way, from working too much, chasing after guys who weren't that into them, or wanting bad boys. Probably explains why they don't have the relationships they want.
Will probably keep watching, just to see if these women get any self awareness. Plus, to be fair, dating isn't easy. Trust me, I'm in a woman, in her 30s, too, out there in the trenches. Just because I can figure out their problems doesn't mean I can figure out my own!

This.
I felt bad about my single-30 something self the whole time. Maybe because Bravo was making fun of all these women the whole hour. Of course, the women did give them some fodder. But still, I don't think I'll be watching this one.

I will watch again for sure. I'm single, never married, older than these women but it didn't really impact me personally. I just watched it for the story...like I would housewives or other Bravo shows. I didn't like the way Julia took advantage/dumped the Craigslist guy, let alone some of her other attitudes but the other two seemed interesting and they made me want to see what happens to them.

Julia Allison is known for being a big famewhore, especially in New York, which is where she lived prior to her stint at her parents' condo in Chicago. People's dislike of her has nothing to do with anything political. She was featured many times on Gawker.com when it was more a NY-based media blog than it is now. She was always pulling publicity stunts, crashing or wrangling invites to big parties, serial dating Silicon Valley dot com millionaires, and partying with FB founder Mark Zuckerberg's sister, Randi.
And she wasn't voted the most hated person on the internet - she actually ranked third. Basically, she's a wannabe Kim Kardashian - she wants to be famous just for being famous.

That would be the Botox/injectables this supposedly 31-year-old woman has regularly pumped into her face; she's a known premature plastic surgery addict. Although I don't doubt that Amy and Emily have both had some facial-work done too; all three have a somewhat plastic look to them.

I wonder whether Bravo will let this series run through its whole season, although as it's already summer they probably have nowhere else to bury it in their schedules? The reviews of this show were dreadful and the blogs are all pretty scathing too. Following on from it's relatively poor lead-in (the 3rd episode of RHONY) it only managed to draw 566,000 viewers but at least it got more than the ill fated 'Love Broker' did in March.

Wow, Julia. Take it down a notch or twelve. She's so awkward. I guess the roommate's boyfriend was cute, but did she really think her intense, pick-me! hyperactive schtick would fly with an LA dude-bro? She should try online dating or some sort of dating service, where she can check off what she wants in a guy and she'll get fixed up with someone who is also amped up to jump into a relationship.
How annoying was the NYC girl with the food on the date?! I was totally uptight about my eating when I was a 34 year old dater, but it's really boring and rude to have someone kvetch and sweat over calories and fat, especially the calories and fat in an order that isn't even theirs!
SF gal (wore too much make up-sorry) seemed all right, but by the time you are in your mid-30s, I think it is okay to say you at least know when you AREN'T interested in someone and you can turn them down without worrying about missing out on something really great.

Bananabread, you took all the words right out of my mouth. ITA on it all.
Julia is boderline intolerable. In fact, she may have already crossed that line. Literally throwing herself at that guy for a kiss was like something a 7th grader would do. I think he handled it rather well. Her "I'm so cute, and loud, and spoiled, and witty" routine is extremely tiresome. It's obvious that she HAS to be the center of attention at all times and I imagine only surrounds herself with people who willingly take a backseat and cater to that (like her seemingly nice, laid back roommate).
New York girl needs to get over herself. She can't have whipped cream once or enjoy a cup of hot chocolate because she'll have to kill herself at the gym for it? Really? The way she was freaking out over that hot chocolate, you would have thought they had set a tub of fried lard in front of her and told her to dig in. Yeah Miss Dating Expert, you know how guys loooove a girl who can't eat.
San Fran girl is the only one who didn't make me want to throw something at the t.v. She handled that date way better than I would have.

This show is really bad for their already unjustifiably inflated egos. They are in serious need of wake up calls (which I hope is coming when the show gets canceled after a few more lousy episodes). Freaking out over a hot chocolate was just lol-worthy. They just come across so ridiculously. This show is almost like a parody of MTV's True Life.

I felt really bad for her. The secret to the "Say yes to anyone who asks" philosophy of dating is that you have to make it very clear to guys you don't want asking you out not to ask so you don't have to say no. Unfortunately, she ran into a guy who refused to pick up on her clear non-verbal social cues that she wasn't interested in him. It was obvious what he was leading up to on that radio show and her body language and stammering made it even more obvious she was hoping he wouldn't go there. But he knew she was on the air and had to say yes, so she was stuck. Then when she said she couldn't make it, he refused to accept THAT clue and pushed to reschedule.
I mean, c'mon people. If someone isn't showing enthusiasm for you, just keep it moving. Why make it awkward? To me, that is disrespectful.
And I feel like his lack of respect for her was proven when he surprised her by taking her to the strip club and practically physically forcing her to slap a stripper's ass.

After the first episode, I almost gave this up. After the second, I am hooked.
I am not sure why Emily is single, but I like her and love her eyes.
Amy is single because she is mean.
Julia makes the show for me because she is nuts. I had not heard of her before the show, so I don't have the preconceived notions of her, but did come across an article talking about her 73 point checklist-which she says because of the show is up to 88.

I like Emily but she has to learn to say no. Being open to possibilities is great, but whats the point when you're THAT not into someone?
NY gal seems so sad, so Eeyore-ish to me. She's so negative and down! Honey you haven't had sex in a year, at least eat the whipped cream once in awhile.
Julia is horrid, and not even in a Reality Gold way, she's so loud and brash and annoying. She can definitely be photogenic pretty in some photos but the plastic surgery has done her no favors. I can't stand her face! Her mouth looks like she's hiding an upside down clothes hanger in it and her nose job has given her this pig-like face when she's on camera, kind of like Kathleen Turners aged face, but worse, she needs to GO. I'm a woman but I can't think of any stronger man-repellent than her personality. Her roommate is going to go bald if she doesn't eat some fat.

Ok I really had to dig to find this thread. I'm hooked - but clearly it's not getting much play. So far only watched the first episode and I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that I'm enjoying it.
The new to La one - what she did to the guy from craigslist was just terrible. He hadn't even gotten home yet and she's already giving him das boot. And word to the post about her mouth looking like it's got a clothes hanger in it. Kadooz to him for keeping it moving and he seemed classy about it on the phone when clearly he'd been used.
The New York chick - Can't believe she gave a guy (who she wanted to marry, but didn't tell her he was moving across the globe) a 2nd shot. Raise your hand if you think it was totally casual and she imagined some great relationship in her head.
The San Francisco girl - I liked her, but she seems really damaged, vs the other two who are just different sides of the same neurotic coin.

I really don't like any of these women and I like them less each week.
But I was impressed that the matchmaker basically told her date that she didn't like him but she could fix him so that someone else might. That was pretty smooth. Now if she could only fix herself.

I find Julia completely intolerable but nobody deserves to have a hate page dedicated to them where they're referred to as "donkey". Ouch.
Her "love coach" was cringe worthy, however, she hit the nail on the head in her diagnosis of Julia being "inauthentic".
I like San Fran girl the best (yet I can't be bothered to even remember her name, says a lot about the show I guess) and enjoyed her visit home to Michigan. She had all sorts of mad chemistry with her childhood sweetheart.
The only worthy reason to pay attention to New York girls date was to see if she would actually order and eat something at dinner.
For Julia and New York girl, what in the world makes them "qualified" to match people or write about dating? They're both epic fools on the grandest scale in these subjects.

I like her too. I'm kind of fascinated by how she tolerates her life though. I find nothing wrong with having a radio show where she talks openly about sex, but it seems like it would be hard to have a normal dating life when that's your job. First there was that creepy dude last week who asked her out on the show and then took her to a strip club. And then there's her childhood crush -- who seemed okay -- but then asked her on their first date if women enjoyed sex "in the butt". That would get old for me really fast.I like San Fran girl the best (yet I can't be bothered to even remember her name, says a lot about the show I guess) and enjoyed her visit home to Michigan.
