Wow...the Countess was dumped? Why am I not surprised? I have felt a little sorry for her this season. She seems very empty and void of anything real and meaningful. How long can you be happy with a life like she has. You need more than money and a title to make you happy. I did not think that Kelly was wrong to request that her name not be on the list as a co-chair at the charity meeting. But, she did not handle it well. At the same time, I thought Bethenny was way over the top in her reaction to Kelly voicing her concern. It was Bethenny who made a big deal out of it. And, what does it mean to 'come from a place of yes or no'? Give me a break. Just say what you want to say Bethenny, no need to talk in psycho code. So, Kelly asks Bethenny to meet her for a drink so she can set her straight on all manner of important things, but was 30 minutes late? That was just rude, crazy and more than a little self possessed. For the first time, the Bravo 'tease' that we have been seeing all week, was real. It was a real argument between two women who said real things, who meant what they said...no need for Bravo to edite a single word. It was great! Kelly might have thought that it was a good idea...she could just meet Bethenny for a drink, let her know exactly how she felt, get it all off of her chest, set her straight. But man...was she wrong! After being kept waiting for 30 minutes Bethenny was ready and pissed. It was Bethenny who came out looking way better, way smarter, way calmer and way more the victor. Kelly came off looking like she had just been run over by a truck. Kelly was in way over her head and, she knew it. Ramona...what a nut job. She is a walking advertisment for why adults with ADD need to stay on their meds. She was crazy last year and embaressed herself to the point that I was surprised that she came back for season two. I could never understand how a women that crazy could ever married a guy as great as Mario. But last night we saw that yes, Ramona is still crazy and SO IS MARIO. What a PIA he was. Jill should have walked away from him at that party. I was surprised to see Mario ack like such an a$$ but I was also surprised to see that Jill took it for as long as she did. What a party...a great time was had by all! I don't mind Alex & Simon. They may be way over the top when it comes to 'things' and 'status' but they are very up front about that, no surprise. They are perfect for each other. I also like that Simmon is both respectful and affectionate with his children. He may be a metrosexual but, that's OK. I like Jill. To me, she is the most normal of the group. She might be a trophy wife who likes to spend her husbands money but, they seem to care about each other and that's nice to see. She seems to be a good person who is enjoying her life. OK, now you can all see how I spent my Tuesday night...in front of the TV watching a dumb reality show. But, I also got some good exercise last night...I helped the UCONN Womens Basketball team defeat AZ State. Oh, yayagal...I think Bethenny was in the Apprentice, but it was the one season spin-off. It was the Martha Stewart Apprentice show and yes, she came in 2nd. I thought she should have won. sooey sho is starting to think that she watches too much dumb TV.

I'm thrilled for Bethenny. I hope she finally gets the life she has been longing for. Jason seems like a decent guy. I'm glad she had closure with her dad. I am appalled at Jill's behavior this season. What the heck happened to her??? Alex hit the nail on the head by calling her "A mean girl from high school". I don't know why they brought in Sonja, she really doesn't add much to the show. I never thought I'd be saying this but Alex and Simon are the most normal of the bunch this season. New Jersey gals sure started out with a bang (no pun intended lol). Danielle is nuts. I feel so sorry for her daughters.

I've watched them all at least once. I like OC and NY. Hate to get drawn into NJ ( quite a different NJ that I grew up in ) and Atlanta. We all wonder about what was left on the editing room floor , but Vicky's put her efforts into her business and is very successful. 24 hours in a day doesn't leave much for other things. At the end of last season , I didn't think Vicky would be back. Perhaps it's time for her to enjoy her life more privately. Tamra has been a spoiled child since she joined the show. Her mouth opens too easily before her brain does. She says she's learned a lot but I haven't seen any change in her. Alexis seems to spout the marriage line but I can't agree that the lips and body she loves is that great ..or her personality. Her dress line leaves a lot to be desired. I'd hate to think my friends or acquaintances have nothing more to do than gossip.

Hey, how did this get over onto the decorating side? I meant to post this on the Conversations side. Oops. I'll repost over there.
