Real Housewives of NYC

I have started watching this show and it is my newest guilty pleasure. Yes, I am a reality TV freak. It is really pretty good. I don't get Alex and her husband Simon. They are so society conscious it is hilarious. And they don't seem to be the type. Alex seems like a hippy chick. But they are ruthless in their social climbing. They are also joined at the hip. Methinks Simon is gay. Does anyone else think so too?
