The season 5 premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City returns tonight to Bravo. There will be a couple of faces missing from the show tonight – Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Cindy Barshop and Alex McCord were fired.

They were replaced by three new cast members, Heather Thompson, Aviva Drescher and Carol Radziwill.

So how are the three new cast members going to do this season. Well it looks like new cast member Aviva Drescher is not intimidated by the veteran cast and comes out swinging at Ramona. She calls her “white trash” in a preview for the show. The two are reportedly not speaking to each other anymore. Aviva is married to Fran Drescher’s cousin.

Ramona does not just tangle with Aviva she also has a confrontation with Heather Thompson a shapewear designer. She comments on what she feels is Heather’s aggressive conversational style.

As far as the old school cast, Real Housewife veterans Sonja Morgan, LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer will be returning.

On tonight’s show LuAnn confronts Ramona on her comments last season about her parenting skills. Romona is unapologetic and walks away. If you want to see a sneak peek of tonight’s episode you can see it here!
