This season of Real Housewives of New York City is like a broken record—every episode revolves around the fight between Bethenny and Jill. It's like being back in middle school again, and we hate it.

But luckily the show has brought in Sonja Morgan to add some fresh blood to the series, and we know she's gonna shake things up. Morgan is the ex-wife of the heir to J.P. Morgan, and in one Bravo clip, describes her love for sex and plastic surgery. Ooh la la!

She's got potential, and there's one thing we've got to see:

She must break up the mean-girl pairing of Jill and current BFF LuAnn de Lesseps!

Sonja is friends with veteran Housewife (and totally aloof) LuAnn and a regular on the NYC social scene. How juicy would it be if LuAnn ditched Jill and she was finally the friendless one?

Now that the Housewives have achieved some level of fame, the episodes feel like infomercials for the books and products they are launching—how boring.

With formerly single gal Bethenny now married and knocked up, the show needs a new vixen on the prowl. Sonja could totally fit this role and break the boring book-writing pattern the other girls have fallen into.

We're ready for a more spunky siren, one that would launch something actually interesting... we're thinking some Real Housewives sex toys! Game, everybody?
