You can't make Skinny Girl Margaritas, you're only a COOK, not a chef!

Zip it! On the Watch What Happens Live After Show online, Bethenny draws the line in the sand -- she won't be back on RHONY if Kelly is on the show. Hmmm, whom would Bravo prefer to have, Bethenny or Kelly....? Now, if y'all will excuse me, I need to go sharpen my tongue knives and hair so I can stab someone.

One thing I never quite got... if your tongues are knives, wouldn't they pretty much slice up the inside of your own mouth????

One thing I noticed during the entire reunion show was this. Jill stared at Bethenny the entire time. The only time she looked away was to try and dress down Alex. Alex did herself good. Jill had to back away because the new Alex wasn't having it!. If the ladies of BARS were correct and Jill tried to convince the others not to film with her then Bethenny was right. Jill had it out for her the entire show. I now think Jill is more jealous of Bethenny than Kelly is. Jill's kind of friendship is stifling and clingy. She is the type of friend that will not let you breathe. I think we have all had friends like that. When Bethenny found Jason she went into attack mode. Jill lost plain and simple that is why she was so infuriated and trying to kiss butt at the reunion show. To me it seems that she is blaming Alex for taking away the friendship she had Bethenny. Anyone notice how she was forgiving of most of what Bethenny had to say last night but not with Alex? What a mess. And we haven't even heard from Kelly yet.

I met them!!! I love them! They were so nice to me!! I did my job and passed on the messages from Lexie and Prisno6 and a shoutout to TVCH. Alex is so much more beautiful in person. She is very fair and has a much softer look when she does not have the camera ready makeup on. She is tinier and more delicate in person and her hair is really beautiful. Simon looks exactly like he does on TV but is much much more attractive in person IMHO. He is great at making eye contact and has sort of that animal-like grace that does not come off on TV. Alex also comes off as moving kind of awkwardly or something on TV but not in person. They told a LOT of stuff! Simon says that he believes that the cast needs to change next year and that Kelly definitely needs to go - not in a mean way, but for her own good. He says that the ladies were all looking forward to spending time with her without J&L around and without all Kelly's handlers - apparently in her day to day life she has a whole retinue of "handlers" and it keeps her in this protective bubble. They said she is literally surrounded by people all day long which probably helps her get through the day. When she was on the boat, she had none of them with her. Simon said that he thinks she has some kind of chemical dependency with the jelly beans and that she might be a diabetic or something. (Note - I am a diabetic and doubt that is her problem.) They said she is really hard to get to know on any real level. They said that they had gone to dinner with her and her friend Jonathan earlier in the season that was not shown, and that after the pleasantries, there was really nothing to talk to her about because she does not relate to women at all. They said she can kind of float around flirting to guys but really has nothing to say at all. Other cast changes - they think Jill is done. They think that she will not even want to come back after everything she has been through and how bashed in the press she has been. (Note - I can't believe she would bow out but they seem to think she will.) They have actually been around Jill and I guess are basing this on how upset she was at the reunion. They think that Luann and the BARS (they use BRAS) can all work together next year. They were surprisingly confident that Bethenny would come back, but they did not elaborate on why. Alex said that she and Bethenny are friends outside the show and that they see each other regularly. She said that she sometimes talks to her three times a day and other times not for two weeks depending on their schedules, but they are both fine with that. She said that she has seen Bryn and that she is very pretty but that she thinks she looks more like Jason than Bethenny. She said they will be on Bethenny's show several times this season. They were asked if they would like their own spinoff, and they said that they think it would be more likely to have an hour long special here or there rather than a whole show. They said that they almost did a special on their trip to Australia. They addressed having their children on the show. They said that they should have anticipated the first year that it would not be interesting to viewers to see well behaved children. They said that everything that was shown was true but it was like 1% of behavior. They only let the kids see the parts of the show that they (the kids) are actually in. They said that if they had had pre-teens/teens at the time the show started, they probably would not have done it. They said the show was originally supposed to be called Manhattan Moms and that there was a casting call. Alex had done some acting in the past and sent in a resume and pictures and they contacted her. So that was how they got involved with it. They said that they all (the whole cast) were horrified when they heard that it was going to end up as part of the Housewives series. They said that nothing was scripted this year except that the Island trip was set up by Bravo. They said in earlier seasons, particularly season one, things were more set up because they did not know each other as well and things had to be staged to get them to interact. They said that the time that Simon attended the "girls only" party, Bravo had told them that the two of them would be attending a dinner at Jill's. Then the day of the party, Bravo told them that Bethenny and Jill would be calling them to invite them to a girls only party and that Alex was to ask them if Simon could come. They said that the producers were thrilled when Ramona flipped out and stormed out, but they did not anticipate that she would react so strongly. Simon said the producers were "high fiving" him that night for that. They said the Luann was not kidding when she said she sings all the time - they said get one drink in Luann, and she is grabbing the microphone. They said that she really does have a nice bluesy voice. They said they think her song is "catchy", but that they don't think her producer did her any favors because they think she is actually better than the song that was released. They said that they thought the drama this year was mainly due to a dichotomy between the working women and the 'women who married men who worked' groups. They said that when you are involved in reality TV, you have opportunities but what that really means is that if you have ideas for projects, it means that someone will have a meeting with you if you ask. They said that no one comes to you with projects. They said that this book is part of a 5 idea package that Alex had put together for a publisher. The next book they want to do, if this one succeeds, is about relationships. They said they are not looking to do anything else like clothing lines or anything like that, just books and maybe TV specials for now. They said that Bethenny is really killing herself working to get her brands out there, and Ramona also. They said some of the others think that opportunities are just being handed to BRAS and not to themselves and are getting mad about it when really if you want those opportunities, you have to make them happen yourself. I want you to know that I was one of the first people to ask a question, and what I said was - "Alex - you are my hero this year! I am so proud of you for standing up for yourself and your friends! I really want to thank you for saying what we ALL wanted to say about calling out mean girls!" Simon (among others) actually clapped. Alex thanked me and when she signed my book she thanked me again. OK, I probably forgot stuff, but if I think of more I will post! I really liked them a lot! If you have any questions about what happened, glad to answer!!

Oh, one other thing. Simon said that in previous seasons, he was on more because Alex was working full time outside the home, and that the only time they could film her was evenings and weekends when he was also around most of the time (since that was the only time they had to spend together.) He said that after Alex lost her job due to the recession and started working freelance, she has been able to film more during the day when Simon is not there.

Oh, thought of something else - someone asked Alex if she thought it was hypocritical that she (Alex) got so much flack for the pictures that were published of her, but that everyone was so behind Kelly and Playboy. Alex said that everyone was NOT so behind Kelly with Playboy. She said if you really watch carefully, Jill is OK but Luann is on the fence and they don't show Ramona's reaction. Ramona was not for it. Alex said that Ramona can get out there and really let her hair down, but that she is more conservative about sex.

Were you able to see whether Alex actually had knives in her tongue? Great recap, btw! Thanks!

Thanks for doing such a great job of recreating your time with Silex, Alison! I liked them from the first season and always thought they got a bit of a raw deal from the others.
