Third time is definitely a charm for The Real Housewives of New York City. The juicy third season premieres on Thursday, March 4th at 11pm ET on Bravo and according to driven housewife Alex McCord, “This is our best season yet. All of us are wiping the drool off our mouths, saying, ‘I can’t wait to see what airs!’” Well, neither can we! So, when we caught up with Alex—best known for her tight-knit marriage to the eccentric Simon and as a mother of two rambunctious children—she was ready to dish. From how fellow housewife Bethenny is handling her pregnancy to her relationship with past season rivals Ramona and Jill, this usually reserved housewife did not hold back. So read on for the ultimate preview on what’s to come for the sassiest, sauciest and most dramatic women of New York City!
RADARONLINE.COM: There’s so much to ask you about, it’s hard to pick a place to begin. The last time the world saw you was on the season two reunion. It seemed that you really held your own and called the other ladies out in a way we never saw on the show. Would you agree?
ALEX MCCORD: Sometimes, when they show snippets of people and it’s just kind of edited, some people can look a little one note. One thing that anybody who knows me knows is true of me is that I am very verbal and very analytical and, usually, tend to watch carefully and then give my assessment of the situation. Obviously, I don’t know what’s going to be on season three since I haven’t seen it yet, but there was a lot of that this season.

RADARONLINE.COM: Do you think as the show evolves each season that each housewife’s true colors start to show?
ALEX MCCORD: When you do a show with the same group of women over three years, everybody’s facades fall away whether it is something that they’ve created for themselves or if it’s been a product of editing. You can run, but you can’t hide. And I think eventually, everyone’s true self comes out. And I feel like in the third season, that’s very true for me and everybody else, frankly.
RADARONLINE.COM: So with that said, what can we expect in season three?
ALEX MCCORD: (laughing) Well, there were multiple times where I had the opportunity to say what I thought and I always did. And, who knows what’s going to make it, but I’m really excited to see season three and see how they put it together. There’s, literally, so much going on that they could probably make multiple feature films out of it.
Alex McCord Shops For Lingerie:
RADARONLINE.COM: You’ve been through a lot of changes personally since season two ended—you were laid off from Victoria’s Secret—so are we going to see what you’re up to professionally on the show?
ALEX MCCORD: Yes, this season there’s a lot of me working. Before, I was working for a large retail company so I couldn’t film at work. You see me working with my clients. One of them is Second Time Around—a high end designer consignment store.

RADARONLINE.COM: And we assume they’ll be lots of Simon and the kids?
ALEX MCCORD: Yes, and one of the things that’s really interesting just for Simon and for me, personally, is to see our kids growing season after season. That’s one of the reasons that I wanted to do the show in the first place, as did he, is to sort of have a living video album of our kids as they grow.
RADARONLINE.COM: Well, now that fellow housewife Bethenny Frankel is pregnant—have you given her any parenting advice?
ALEX MCCORD: Well, let me start by saying that I am so thrilled for Bethenny. She’s got a good head on her shoulders. The thing about becoming a mom is approaching it the right way. That’s going with your instincts and doing what you feel is right based on the advice that you get from every angle. I see her just kind of naturally adapting to her state which I think is great.

RADARONLINE.COM: And you and Simon have a parenting book due out this spring—tell us about that!
ALEX MCCORD: Our book comes out April 6th and it’s called Little Kids, Big City. It’s written with a sense of humor. It’s not a comedy book, but at the same very sarcastic, and very verbal and we tell stories; insane things the kids have done and we’ve done – times when we wanted to high-five each other and times when we wanted to light each other on fire and run away screaming. Simon and I never wanted to have kids. It sounds crazy, but we didn’t. We changed our minds about three years after we got married. We just slowly realized that we both wanted kids, and we jumped into to it full kilt.
RADARONLINE.COM: The other women are so judgmental of your relationship with Simon. Why do you think that is?
ALEX MCCORD: Well, I can only speak from what I know and that is that Simon and I have a relationship that’s really, really equal and we’re very comfortable with each other. People always try to psychoanalyze that. I think they always think that there’s something nefarious at work when there really isn’t. The best way I can describe it is he and I are like runners in a relay race and we pass the baton back and forth. And sometimes, he has it and he’s controlling things and sometimes, I have it and I’m controlling things, but we’re not controlling each other.
