Image Credit: BravoWe came for closure. (Psych! We’re really just killing time as we wait for the reunion. Bring it Andy Cohen. Roll the clip when Kelly tries to pin the tail on “systematic bullying.” Roll the clip of LuAnn and Jill cackling on speakerphone. Push Jill harder when she tries the “We all make mistakes” line. Call Alex out for her unnecessarily theatrical delivery of her non-message. Let Sonja sit on your lap.) While we wait, let’s all clink our glasses for charming Ramona on her season of TruRenewal. I don’t know how she did it but I dare say I’ve come to love this nutbird of a gal.
Before we get to the celebration of Ramona and Mario (thumbs up!), let’s go to lunch with Bethenny and Jill. Jill wants forgiveness. She held a grudge longer than maybe she should have and yes, maybe she should have let it go sooner. Hey, she’s not perfect. She does her best. She can’t change. She has good intentions. She made latkes. When the two finally sit down, they make some quick small talk about Bethenny’s pregnancy and you really could see Jill pining for their old intimacy. “Ya sleepin’?!” asked Jill. Would that she was still enmeshed in Bethenny’s life and could be pushing naps and nutrition drinks on her former friend. Damn you Alex, you can feel her thinking, it should have been me giving her designer maternity jeans!
The conversation was civil but distant. Bethenny is done. Jill can wonder all she wants about “What the hell happened to us?” but Bethenny isn’t ready to brush all the latke crumbs under the rug. She accuses Jill of being disloyal, and likens the death of their friendship to a divorce. I give it to Jill that she tried her best to offer a sincere apology for her role in their rift, and never once went on the offensive. As much as I find Jill hopelessly self-absorbed and childishly manipulative, I don’t think she just wants to be friends with Bethenny to win her old fans back. Bethenny believes otherwise: “I think the tides turning on her are the reasons we’re having this conversation.” I give Jill a bigger break than that. But I will say that the woman seems deeply afraid to take a clear look in the mirror at herself, and to own that not only should and could she have done better by her friend but she promises to do so in the future. “I need to get toxic people who don’t wish me well out of my life,” she says by way of explanation for her behavior. “You said that I was a toxic person,” Bethenny reminded her. Zing!
Later at LuAnn’s dance party, Jill had a revelation of sorts: ”I never thought of that,” she told Kelly, “elegance is learned.” Hmm, good point. LuAnn wore her best bullfighter pants and her producer brought the Hooters girls from St. John and Sonja got her groove on. The song is ridiculous and I like to picture LuAnn’s autotune wearing a clenched smile and shiny red cowboy boots backstage. But LuAnn deserves a big hug for getting up there on stage and asking the crowd if they were ready to rock and roll. She’s had a lousy break this past year and if she wants to sway her hips to an etiquette dance song then who are we to harsh her buzz. Good for you LuAnn. And Jacques is super cute.
Sonja, my love. Where have you been all my Housewives life? As Jill artlessly steered the conversation back to her troubles at the party, LuAnn started insisting that Jill had been sorely wronged by Ramona. Who kicks a friend out like that? Who shows up unannounced? corrected Sonja. LuAnn interrupted her and Sonja let out a little tiger roar. Nobody talks over her, not even la Contessa. She put her final stamp on the matter and then skipped back to the dance floor. Jill was sorry to see the spotlight taken off of her but she was having another light bulb moment. “Ya know, it’s true,” she said, “money can’t buy you love.” Like Madonna’s early recordings—that was blasphemy, Jenn G.—LuAnn’s song has many layers that are only revealed on camera.
Off to the Pierre we go. Ramona keeps losing her notes but her hair has been recently sassified. There’s a knock at the door of her suite and “Surprise!” Jill of course couldn’t miss out on the finale event and she needed to make her own grand and unique reentry onto the scene. Jill, you’re a mess but girl, you have never looked better. Great dress. Adorable hair. Jill makes nice with Ramona and Ramona, without being Ramona-mean, urges Jill to stop seeing the world only through her narrow prism. Ramona has a skin cream to help with that. Only $29.95. Alas, downstairs Jill can only go so long before kvetching about the affair. Guests need something to nibble on! This is unacceptable. If she’d known they were going to be kept waiting she would have brought a couple latkes in her purse. At least a pretzel or something. Jenn G. says one should never serve champagne before an event because then people get loud and obnoxious, which she manages to prove by example. Kelly is there with her crooked boobs—I don’t know this to be true but it’s been brought up twice this season—and she says she forgot to RSVP but oh my gawd it’s just not okay to bully and she has a good life and loves living it.
Ramona and Mario’s vows to each other are legitimately adorable. Ramona didn’t get that melodramatic I’m-going-to-eat-your-face she tends to assume in emotional situations—see her gazing at Avery and herself in the mirror—and I wanted to stand up and cheer for some reason when she said “You respect me in business, you treat me as an equal.” Mario cut down on his slick Rick routine and told his wife that she has always been his “ray of sunshine when I couldn’t see the light.” Avery gazed upon both of them without her usual look of bored disdain. The whole thing made me want to cry, as it did all of their guests. Especially Simon. Quick shout out to Sonja’s boobs. You guys looked so moved by the expressions of love. (Ten bucks Sonja and the master of ceremonies made out in the Pierre rotunda later that night.)
Afterwards Bethenny gathered Ramona and Alex up in her arms and cried that their friendship got her through the roughest six months of her life. Then she did the back-up dance into her Baby Daddy. I root for this couple and baby Bryn too! Simon showed off his half-kilt and made a half-man joke. Countess did not approve. Alex tried to approach Jill but Jill rebuffed her with a pinched smile full of rage.
Where are the girls now? Well, we learned that LuAnn finally got herself a pied-a-terre (apartment). Genius. Kelly lives in an amazing world where she can walk outside whenever she wants and it’s sunny even when it’s raining. Ramona went on an all-girls trip to Kenya and smartly left the Housewives home. Bethenny has a new show to promote, and it will star basketballs and vases. Sonja is writing a sexy society novel that I will inevitably force upon my book club. Jill can’t change. What?! She means well.
Tell me PopWatchers. Tell me everything. Ramona adorable? Jill forgivable? Kelly laughable? Sonja delectable?
Jacques is super cute!!! Score for the Countess.
I wihs I could get forgiven for every crappy thing I’ve said to somebody just by saying “I can’t change. YOU have to acept me for who I am.” Way to sidestep accountability, Jill. Convicted felons express more remorse. Where is that mirror, anyway?
My apologies, people. Just like Jill needs to learn accountability, I need to learn to type.
It’s okay, Brooke. Jill says we all make mistakes. lol
LOL Dee!
Sorry, Jacques is a wannabee. Seems like he kept looking for the camera.
I didn’t recognize that last nite…but if it’s true, sounds like a new Slade Smiley!
Is it just me or does he and Jill resemble each other?
Jacques is a chinless wonder – don’t think he’s cute, yuck – but he’s a HUGE step up from that faux blonde leering weirdo Luann was seeing that laughed like a hyena at his own attempts at humor. I was literally uncomfortable and queasy when he and Luann were onscreen together.
I think the Countless just likes him because his name is J-A-C-Q-U-E-S, and she can do her faux-French accent. She probably wouldn’t go out with a guy named Harvey or Elmer.
Sorry, but Jill Zarin doesn’t get a free pass on this one. At least not until she stops blaming Alex for all her problems and treats her better.
Dwight I agree with you 100%.
I felt empathy for Jill but agree – she is “taking” the well meant critiquing, but isn’t really hearing it. It’s like when some people don’t get that there’s a big difference between humiliation and humility. She’s feeling the former but what she needs is a sense of the latter.
why the empathy, she kept contradicting herself through the lunch. Accept me for who I am. I wake up trying to do what is right. And by the end of the episode. I’m not changing. No empathy, sympathy or understanding.
i did not see any difference between the beginning episodes of jils treatment of people and the last few episodes. she was still talking behind their backs she did not recognize how many times she has wronged alex M. calling her ugly during a fashion show. saying she was channeling the devil. making fun of her kids and badmouthing her at every turn something she did with bethanny in the beginning episodes. My feeling is that Jill realized that Bethenny was getting her own show and wanted in hence the change of heart.
real friends do not go talking behind your back to the press. they do not go and call girlfriends that do not have your best interest to maock the fact that you got engaged because you got knocked up.
real friends do not try and get you disinvited to events- something she did numerous times to bethenney during the season.
Jill must have amnesia or suffering from the same delusions that Kelly suffers from.
I agree Brooke! Just like when Jill fell flat on her face when she was showing off at her party while ice skating in her -froo froo.. too young for her ..figure skating costume!
he looks like david schwimmer. not cute.
Mark, why be so harsh? He is cute enough and looked friendly and well-meaning – when you’re over 40 in New York, and you get that combo, it’s terrific! People don’t need to be perfect.
Is it just me or does Jacques not look like an older version of Ross Geller but with a big nose?
I agree and how about how she cuddled up to Kelly (the new “underdog”) who SHE dosnt even understand. Its pathetic really how shes trying so hard to get Bethany back now that she looks like a fool, but really…Kelly… i mean i get that shes the perfect tool to be bossed around, but you would think even Jill would see the liability. And how does LuAnn now that shes been pushed off the right hand man seat? Looked like for most of the reunion she wantedto be on the “other/cool/normal” side
This season has re-affirmed my love for Bethenny and given me a new love in Sonja.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Bethenny kept it classy and hilarious. And who knew that Sonja would be such a great addition?!
I know, yeah? Usually when a new housewife is introduced, there’s a real “oh no…what’s wrong with THIS one?” feeling. But not Sonja. She is just a kick. Love her.
Love how she stepped up to the Countess, she is very rude and interrupts everyone, just check the reunion. She should take etiquette classes. Oh wait a minute didn’t she write a book or sung about it. Guess anyone can be an author or singer.
amen — sonja is the best thing that’s ever happened to this show. it made my year when she put luann in her place and set the record straight about Jill’s surprise visit …
I loved loved loved Sonja.
She is one of the best additions to the show.
She was the voice of reason when she let the girls know that Kelly was not right in the head. She voiced it publicly in front of the women – something Bethenny knew but kept to herself.
Once Kelly’s true colors came out and the breakdown in her mental state was evident Sonja was able to diffuse the situation.
She is also not a tail to anyone.
she is her own peron.
I find that some of the housewives ar like tails ..the follow others and don’t like to rock the boat.
Sonja says it like it is. She speaks diplomatically and doesn’t take sides but will not sugarcoat the truth.
I think they got her b/c bethenny is leaving and she reminds me of bethenny in her humor and defiance to be heard.
Bravo- sonja.
I never thought I’d end up liking Ramona, Bethenny, and Alex, but I do. Bring on the reunion shows.
Same! I remember how much I hated Ramona and Alex the first season, and now they’re awesome. They have been great to Bethenny.
But it’s not JUST how good they were to Bethenny — those women are down to earth, hilarious and unique. I admit though, I’ve always loved Ramona. This season Alex and Simon have invaded my heart! How cute was Simon dancing in his kilt!
Give me break, Ramona and Alex are fakes and playing to the camera. Alex needs to stay on the show and Ramona will play up to anyone to earn a dollar. I can’t believe how qullible this audience is. Bethenny, may be comical but she is cruel.
here here Vera.. don’t get me wrong I don’t mind those 3 but to say they are down to earth… come on.. they were just as cruel if not more so than the other 3 girls.. Ramona is the leaser of 2 evils but Alex is a horrible person who uses other peoples fights to get items off her own chest.. She needs to get a backbone and grow up.. Bethany I wish her all the best – however she is just as much at fault with Jill about there fall out.. she is not innocent nor nice..
Couldn’t agree more and I love Sonja too! Wish Bravo could put Kelly, Jill, Danielle, Slade Smiley, Lynn’s daughters, Vicki, Alexa and Kim on a deserted island and let them go at each other. Could you imagine that show? What do you guys think of that other housewife, Jenn Gilbert? I think she’s a wannabe & has become one of Jill’s minions. Hopefully, she won’t be asked back for next season.
Can Alexis and her husband go there too?
Apparently, Jenn Gilbert was supposed to be a main housewife (THEY DO NOT NEED EIGHT HOUSEWIVES) but was too boring so they cut her out. She seemed kind of snobby.
Yes, please take Alexis and her husband there, too.
Ah, Alexis not Alexa. Thanks Madd-and yes, please include her husband on this list too.
I like the island idea, and PLEASE LORD get rid of Slade and Alexis. But I’d like to keep Vicki, Kim and Danielle (yes Danielle..) on land. On my island you can add Lynn (not just the horrific daughters), Nene and Jen G.
Love Sonja, she is a great addition this year. No liking Jen G too much, hope she doesn’t make next seasons show. She is to meek and when she does talk it is like she is trying too hard.
jen gilbert did not get much air time.
remember we thought the same of Alex M. when she started. from the few clips I saw of Jen gilbert I liked her.
she sounds very intelligent and does not sound as self absorbed as the rest of the crew- Jill _Countless-and kelly.- those were the women she hung out with.
but I would have love to see her interact with the others.
Alex and Jen would have had some really intelligent conversations.
Jen and Ramona did not interact much at all. thye gave Jen very short air time. We were not able to see her true person.
but as she said on a clip of her during a party for Kelly she said “I have never seen so many women with so many f****ng problems”
she also said in that clip how she thought the guy the Countess was with (Coerte) had bad hair and was gay.
that was priceless.
and on the last episode when she got caught talking about the event planner when the planner was standing behind her…her response to that during the commentary was
“an opinion is like an a**h***. everyone has one”
that was a really funny line and her way of punishing herself for opening up her mouth.
we forgive you Jen. at least you meant to be sorry.
I love Ramona now too!
SHRILL,,,,,,,BET YOU CANT WAIT FOR BETHANNYS NEW SHOW,,,,WE CANT….SHE WINS YOU LOSE AS ALWAYS….JUST LIKE HIGH SCHOOL….REMEMBER?? YOU WERE HATED THEN…AND YOURE HATED NOW
Wow, harsh. After 30 years you are still hating on HS BS. I am not loving Jill this season, but jeesh.
Yeah it was harsh. I think Jill is really insecure because of High School. I sincerely believe Bethenny may have been the closest friend she ever had and she blew it.
I love Jill.. Bethany and Alex are the “mean girls”…
great review!! I thought it summed up things spot on. I feel better about leaving it all behind now. Well, after the reunion show
This review was great, and so was the season. I am so looking forward to the reunion also. I had almost forgot that the OC housewives had just ended when NYC began. Compared to these ladies and New Jersey, the OC gals are bo-ring!
Please tell me how I can get that dreadful song out of my head….
You could switch to Tardy for the Party instead.
Or LuAnn’s spoken-word song that she “performed” on What What Happens Live.
Watch What Happens Live. Like Jill I make mistakes, but I can’t change.
LOL @ Madd. I think this week’s comments section has found a new catchphrase. Shame. I really liked satchels of gold.
Oh my gosh, you guys are killing me! Too funny. My daughter and I had that song in our head this morning rolling our eyes at eachother. But thanks, I had forgotten “Tardy For the Party” lol! I can switch to that one now too!
Damn, just when I got “Tardy for the party” out of my head….now, I am plagued by “Money can’t buy you class”…..Damn these singing housewives, lol
Loved this recap. It was dead-on! Can’t wait for the reunion!!!
The recap was PERFECT, absolutely. Was going to leave a comment about the first paragraph saying it all, but the rest was too good to leave out, lol
So many things to discuss!
1. Ramona’s hair cut is cute. But I wish she would stop saying that it is changing her life.
2. Ramona and Mario’s vows were adorable.
3. Kelly: “I don’t dress sexy.” So Playboy costumes,WAY too short skirts, and not wearing a bra, that’s modest to you? I don’t think I want to see what your “sexy clothes” are.
4. I love Bethenny and Jason. I heard that they named their daughter after his late brother, which is beyond sweet.
5. I think Jill wants to be better. But I still don’t think she gets that it’s not all about her.
6. Sonja is my new favorite person. I am SO reading that novel when it comes out.
7. My friend Kelly: “People have started asking me what it’s like to have the same name as Kelly Bensimon. They ask me if I consider candy unprocessed food. Help.’
LOL I loved her comment about not dressing sexy. It’s like, sweetheart, at a certain age, I think you have to start wearing a whole dress. And a bra.
I know – Kelly should try to look like swap meet fashion icon Bethenny- with her braids -how trendy -we should all hope to dress like a big jaw Nelly OLESON ! BARFENNY most not have got the memo – HOUSEWIVES NOT LIL HOUSE !
Spot on!
Kelly is right – she DOESN’T dress sexy.
Just because clothes are intended to be sexy when they’re manufactured doesn’t mean they’re still sexy when put on by a crazy, age-innapropriate man-beast in search of satchels of gold.
Kelly wins on a technicality.
Oooooo, good point.
OK, I shouldn’t have laughed so hard at that, because it’s mean. But then again, it’s true.
I don’t care what she does or what she wears…Kelly has the UNSEXIEST, dried up husk of a body EVER! She even has admitted she looks like a linebacker yet she keeps trying to show those Oakland Raider shoulders of hers!
LOL @ “dried up husk of a body.” Oh man, that’s great.
My husband said she looks like a man from behind, no hips. Not trying to be mean but how did she get Playboy that is a lot of airbrushing.
Lmao ! Omg. What James said was hilarious. I realized that too. She was talking about how unattractive strapless dresses make her shoulders look, lol, but she still insists on continuing to wear them. I never noticed how husky her body looked, it looks like she works out entirely too much, it’s not womanly at all. She disgusts me lol.
DAAAAMMM James. Game set match.
too funny
Hahaha! I’m so glad that she gets to go outside anytime she wants.
Beyond sweet to shop pictures of baby girl for money money money. Or to work the two finger diet to fit into a bikini. How long before this “star” goes away???
Marshall, it has already been established that the “source” of the info about Bethenny supposedly trying to sell her baby’s pics was planted by Kelly/Jill on
Marshall, you are wrong about that. She did not such thing! That was a planted story!!
MARSHALL – she will dangel that baby from her balconey to get a plug in for SKINNY GHOUL products. Dont you know its normal to have a baby only to have something to use for more product placement- JASON the dweeb put his foot down when she wanted him to tatoo his forehead with the skinny ghoul logo. He told her use your own its as big as a bill board !Bethenny would sell her soul for pr – she plants the storey of her pregnancy and sits there shocked that Jasons parents cant drop everything they are doing to come dine in NYC. She thinks her time is more imp than other peoples. She is a people user loser big time ! That off the track nag isoff and running – lol lol lol
Shut up, Marge Happens, AKA Jill.
“Marge Happens” in my commode.
You shut up Deb. Just because she doesn’t agree with you doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a right to share her opinion. You sure didn’t say anything about the people bashing the other cast members lol.
I agree Marge.. I truely believe Bethany leaked all those stories.. and yes I couldn’t believe that she was so deluded thinking that Jason’s parents would drop everything to drive down for dinner – wake up Jason.. you’re a great handbag for her..
I love Sonja and how she tells it like it is.
I used to be Team Jill, but after this season and her “woe is me” act, I have simply had enough.
Looking forward to the reunion to see what everyone has to say.
I agree, Amy. Unfortunately, saw that Sonja had a DUI a couple of days ago. I don’t understand people who have money…they drink and drive, i.e. Paris Hilton, Lohan
Everyone else drinks and drive, it jsut doesn’t get press attention.
When you have a family member, friend, etc. killed by a drunk driver -then maybe you will understand that DUIs cause death.
ctchickie-Hate to be a downer, but not everyone drinks and drives. I worked as a bartender in college and we hired people to make sure no one got behind the wheel of a car. The owner lost his best friend to a drunk driver and made it his life goal to make sure people drink responsible. Hopefully, Sonja takes responsiblity for her actions because I really like her.
The point is, people who have $$$$ can easily afford a taxi or limi driver…
I don’t think we need to understand people who drink and drive. She chose to commit a criminal act. She chose to endanger others. I was just starting to love Sonya but DUI = dead to me.
barfhenny- drinks vodka -H20 – scarfs barfs – pregnancy did not stop that- and people dont have concerns about that kids health. I quess prenatail care like a crack head is JUST TELLING IT LIKE IT IS ??? I think the baby told it like it is – a solid month early… what’s up widit ?
Her comment about “who shows up unannounced” was so hilarious. Jills face was priceless. I love Sonya.
The best was when Bethenny said, “the HORN”!
I read this somewhere, Team BRAS (Bethenny, Ramona, Alex and Sonja)!! I’m on Team BRAS!!
Pfftt.. fits seeing as they’re all Boobs.. go team Jill..
I thought it was a great season and I cant wait to see the reunion and can we have a standing ovation for Sonja’s boobs…OMG they looked fabulous in that dress at the renewal ceremony.
Agreed. I thought the same thing. They looked wonderful. I want a pair that great.
sorry to see the marriage of Jill and Bethenny come to an end. that was the best thing about the show. but nothing last forever.
lately, i’ve seen a lot of evil comments about the whole Bethenny/Jill situation on this site. my words to you are: let the person who has never gotten into a fight with a friend cast the first stone. let the person who has never held a grudge against anyone else pass the first stone. the only difference here is that what happened happened on television. Jill held her grudge too long and Bethenny moved on. end of story.
Alex, i glad your leaving. if you hadn’t tried to inject yourself in Jill and Bethenny’s fight, the camara would have forgetten about you altogether. good luck with your “parenting” book.
LuAnn, never been into spoken word, but have fun making music.
Ramona, at least you did try to get Jill and Bethenny back together, I give you credit for that. But here’s food for thought, if you don’t want someone at your beach event (or anywhere for that matter), don’t invite them. don’t get mad when they show up after you’ve invited them.
Sonja, don’t know enough about you since you’re new. But good luck fighting that DUI charge in court. In my state, if you refuse a breath test, they suspend your license for a year. If NY is the same, I’m sure you’ll have drivers now.
You know, I can honestly say that I have never held a grudge like that against one of my friends, nor have I ever gotten into a fight of that magnitude with any one of them, nor have I ever refused to accept an apology from one of them. Or anyone I know, for that matter. It is possible not to react that way to arguments, you know.
Me, either. Even when I was a teenager, it would drive me crazy to go more than a few hours with a grudge between myself and someone else.
Jill- is that you posting again?
It’s TOTALLY Jill Zarin. Gah I hate her. No one on Earth believes the things Marie just wrote.
OMG — I had the SAME exact thought! It totally sounds like Jill Zarin writing this!
I’m sorry but you don’t just show up unannounced FOUR days into a trip that you were practically BEGGED to attend and refused only because the host wouldn’t tailor her guest list to exclude YOUR enemies.
They had just gotten over Hurricane Kelly, and jill knew it and still had the gall to show up smiling and expecting a parade. This woman is almost as bad as Kelly, in her own little world and refusing to change.
I’m SO with you, James! Beyond rude.. AND, the Countess told her it wouldn’t be a good idea.
The thing that’s so ridiculous is that if it had happened the other way, someone showing up late to Jill’s vacation, she would’ve been furious and offended beyond all reason. The woman gets offended at the drop of a hat.
AND Jill only showed up for self-serving reasons..she wanted to make an entrance, she wanted to talk to Bethanny. She, she, she…she left with her face broke…Jill’s head got so big from last season. She use to be the nurturer of the crew until someone didn’t do what SHE thought they should do…Now she wants the forgiveness she refused to Bethanny. She really ruin a good thing – if you don’t forgive, how do you expect to be forgiven?
also, i loved how she told kelly she should have told ramona she was coming to the wedding. um. didn’t you just show up unannounced to the girls’ trip?
If you have sincerity & genuineness, you’d recognize that Bethenny isn’t a flighty, flaky woman — she doesn’t have a false bone in her body. So when she came to Jill a few times trying to make amends, that was heartfelt. Jill should have seen that — but that requires that Jill have the ability to see the difference between sincerity and b.s. She doesn’t b/c she blurs that in her own interactions with people. She blew it — I’m sure Bethenny is a true friend, and it’s now Jill’s loss.
A true friend? How? Has Bethenny really behaved any better? She IS flighty and flaky, first she hates Kelly, then she wants Kelly to WANT to be her friend. She didn’t ‘care’ for Alex or Simon last season, but since they are so desperate for air time, they need to be on the side that is the most popular. Its just so predictable for people to always give the BREAK to the most popular-they never do wrong. Bethenney has been equally reprehensible. She at every turn has to point out every flaw in a person. She is not genuine. What FRIEND doesn’t show up or at very least call when your husband/friend is very ill. She must have known the magnitude to even send flowers. In the words of Kelly, that is so not a friend make. I believe that she showed up on the trip for more air time, and a perfect opportunity for product placement. She is transparent.
Bethenny is about as genuine as Alex Forester with lame pregnancy plots to trap a dweeb – rabbit stew boiling on a stove- battery acid leaked from the container ment for Jason the dweebs car -the only thing that stoped that from going down was the fact the monkey wagon was in the shop.Now phase 2 will happen – Barfenny will be channeling susan smith , casey anthony and Joan Crawford – because she shares the same m-o and profile.Bethenny’s in stage 3 of the MOOCH-HUSSLING disorder. stay tuned for that-BABY BLUE boo hoo sprinkled with some coke and choke ! btw- She never went to see Bobby when he was sick with cancer at the hosp. because he did not have his wallet with him to pay her tab ! Is this an example of those sincere genuine qualities cited above ?? ha ha ha SO THERE – BETHENNY IS CHANNELING NELLY OLSON – SHE IS ON LINE ONE AND WANTS HER DO BACK !
I agree.. Bethany is not a good friend.. who does not visit your so called bf when her husband is in hospital fighting for his life with cancer.. and then to turn it around and blame Jill because she didn’t tell Bethany how serious it was.. oh come on.. bet Jill’s sorry she didn’t placate to Bethany’s pr whims seeing she had other important events going on.. A true friend would have been there…
@James, I totally agree with you. The problem with Jill (and maybe Marie) is that she just can’t see that it’s wrong to decline an invite then show up LATE unannounced. Once you turn the invite down the host makes other plans. Your no longer welcomed.
If I personally invited a friend to an event and they turned me down that meant that they were not interested in coming. That’s the whole point of RSVPing- to know the guest attendance. I dont care which way you slice this pie, Jill said she wasnt coming so she shouldn’t have showed up complaining about how much money Bobby spent to reroute the trip.
Not only that she came on the last day, and they had spoken to her the night before and could have told them but wanted to surprise them, for fear that they would tell her no over the phone. She is very calculating and vindictive. She is trying to kick Alex off the show next season and be the main one, since Bethanny might not be on there.
If I have RSVPed no to an event, and then my plans change and I’d like to attend, I always call and ask if that it is alright. I never just assume I’m still invited. Even for something much simplier than a vacation (like a baby shower or birthday party) I know that people are ordering food, planning seats and tables, etc. Once you say no, they may not have room for you. Just because most people are gracious and continue to extend the invitation to anyone they had invited, does not mean that you should take that hospitality for granted.
Jill, Shut up!!! No one cares what you think whether you sign it for yourself or pose as someone else!!
wow
hi jill
first of all dont get your panities in a bunch cause alex fought back once she learned how you trashed her during the fashion show event.
bravo to alex for calling you on your petty behavior- which IMO she had allowed to continue for too long. the wallflower finally got a backbone and fought back.
bethenny saw firsthand what true friendship was and was true loyalty was. She alos saw what fake friendship was and what true disloyalty was- try and pretend you did not talk behind bethenny’s back to Luanne and to her hated enemy Kelly.
as bethenny said ” you made your bed”
Friends get into fights.. that is true but true friends are unconditional.
your friendship with Bethenny was conditional. this is why you lost.
You thought bethenny would still be licking her wounds and kissing your feet. Once you realized she moved on and was developing a great freindship with Alex -you got jealous.
Bravo to Alex? Its interesting that when Jill asked her to give an example of where she tried to tell her how to live her life, she couldn’t come up with one. Furthermore, she then immediately switched from you did ME wrong to you did US wrong. Pulease. This girl, forgave B for calling her husband repulsive for the lamest excuse in the world. B and A did not even speak prior to the filming, how did A become B’s champion all of a sudden. I don’t understand the reasoning on this board.
Oh my god.. please let that be true that Alex is leaving – can’t stand her.. she needs to get her own backbone instead of climbing on Bethany’s.. and I’m sorry but its pathetic for herself to be writing a “parenting” book.. pfft.. with her kids running riot.. hmmm no1 rule… no discipline hey..
Sonja seemed a little more than a little on the sauce by the time she was shouting the C*untess down at the party populated by the rent-a-crowd seen exiting the Producer’s extended limo.
And, does it seem curious to anyone that for someone who spend all her time talking about men and sex Sonja spends a lot of time on her lonesome?
That’s because she prefers one night stands.
Oh, and if someone had turned your lavish dream trip into a psychotic nightmare wouldn’t the gift you most hoped for be a photographic replay presented to you by the person who destroyed any peace of mind for everyone involved? So-nice-of-you-to-drop-by-Kelly.
Sonja just doesn’t put it in front of the cameras…heck, she’s the only one smart enough not to put her daughter through all of this drama!
Sonja has no problems in the men department.
as for talking about sex. She hereself said she talked bout other things on the show but it seemed that the show only kept tapes of her talking about sex.
Spot on.
Is that you Danielle? What a stupid saying.
No it’s not, your just ignorant
Great recap. The ceremoney was beautiful. Ramona looked fantastic. Jill is still a beyotch. And, damn that song, it’s still stuck in my head too.
Mine too. It’s still there now. I can’t get it out. Ugh!
i’m so surprised popwatch hasn’t commented on Sonja’s recent ride in a cop car.
i guess it might be in bad taste?
still this episode was fabulous!
wow
why is everyone making a big deal about sonja getting caught driving a little tipsy.
just because she became well known thru the show everyone wants to make a big deal out of it.
had she not been on the show no one would even have given that article a second look.
please take a good hard look at how many people go out after a party after drinking one cup of wine and rear end anohter car. those stats are even higher.
check the stats. crying foulabout one person is ridiculous when there are thousands upon thousands with this problem.
hate to burst your little bubble- but no- not everyone drinks and drives all the time- because some of us have enough common sense to think beyond the moment and what we want to do regardless of how it affects others. never got behind the wheel after drinking-EVER! lose someone you love to a drunk or “tipsy” driver and see how self righteous you are then.

The allegations are shocking. Georgette Massi was arrested on DWI charges and endangering minors. Massi is charged with driving drunk with two of her own children in the car, ages 1 and 6, and a friend’s child, age 6.
stop pretending like noone out there besides famous people are driving drunk.
this is an epidemic. at least sonja did not kill anyone.
