It's that time again! The fourth season of The Real Housewives of New York City premiers tomorrow night on Bravo, at 10/9c. Reality Wanted caught up with Sonja Morgan, one of the more colorful cast members on the show, to talk about what viewers can expect this season, who she thinks the craziest Housewife is, and what's going on with Bethany and Jill.

Q. Mike, RealityWanted: You were relatively new to the scene last season; what has it been like filming a full season with the women and being a big part of the show?
A. Sonja: Oh, it's been quite different; I did six episodes last season and the reunion, so there was a lot of me on, even though I filmed a short time. This year I filmed for four months, so you really get both sides of me, not just the poised side of me.

 

Q. Mike, RealityWanted: What kind of drama can we expect this season?
A. Sonja: Well, we're seven high spirited women with big egos and a lot to say. [We're] full of passion, so when you put that together, its explosive. It's different from last season. We know how to push each other's buttons, but we're all nice girls, and at the end of the day, we agree to disagree and move on. At least until the next time we see each other.

Q. Mike, RealityWanted: Do the cameras really capture everything? Are there things not shown on television that viewers need to know?
A. Sonja: They pretty much catch everything; there are things that happen off camera, but it comes up again when we film again. There's not a lot of filling in the blanks.

Q. Mike, RealityWanted: Who's the craziest housewife on RHONYC?
A. Sonja: That's a very tough competition - I've gotta give it to Ramona, don't you think? She's our resident craziest housewife. Well...Ramona's more emotional I'd say, not crazy. Crazy's a strong word. I'm the zany one, Kelly is off in Kelly-Land, the Countess is on a pedestal looking down on all of us, and Jill is opinionated and controlling, and caring. I wouldn't say we're certifiably crazy.

Q. Mike, RealityWanted: Do you watch the other Housewives shows? Which is your favorite?
A. Sonja: Well, I don't really watch them, but I've seen a few things. I've watched Beverly Hills, and the psychic dinner party was amazing. Teresa's table flipping [on Real Housewives of NJ]was amazing. But I have to say NY is my favorite, because I like to see what the girls are up to when I'm not around them.

Q. Mike, RealityWanted: The Housewives will welcome a new addition this season, Cindy Barshop. How well would you say she adapted to being on the show, and how well does she fit in with the other housewives?
A. Sonja: She's our downtown kid, but she's different from Kelly. She's kind of a rock star groupie type. I don't know, she looked good in the clips, but I'm not sure how well she really fit in. You'll have to watch.

Q. Mike, RealityWanted: Bethenny Frankel is not a part of the show this season, but will appear in a few episodes due to contractual obligations. Did she and Jill ever repair their friendship, and does Bethenny keep in touch with the cast?
A. Sonja: I don't think they've repaired their relationship, and that's sad, because they had a wonderful and intense relationship. I found that very sad. Bethenny is so busy with her own show and husband and child, I think it's impossible to keep up with everybody. I did run into her in Beverly Hills a couple weeks ago, and we had a blast. I'd love to get our kids together sometimes, she's really great.
