Curly, are you the one who hadn't watched the whole season? If so, I think you might have interpreted things differently. LuAnn was criticized for pretending she had a perfect marriage and dissing others for their dating rules when her marriage was crumbling. I don't think anyone resented her for not acting like a child. I think, and agree, that the feeling was LuAnn thought she was superior and I don't think there is anything other than the airs LuAnn put on. Kelly may not be a girl's girl, but her rudeness towards those with whom she is supposedly filming a show says a lot. I didn't see a whole lot of insecurity from anyone except for Ramona. Everyone else is pretty secure in who they are and what they want. I did see a lot of calling out for accountability, and well they should. Some of the things the women said or did, such as Ramona instigating the fight between Bethenny and Jill, really did need to be brought out. We discussed it enough here. We also discussed the behavior of the husbands, which was talked about on this show. Bethenny did say, however, that the four of them (and by four I think LuAnn, Ramona, Jill, and Bethenny) were friends and went out afterwards. The only two people who really needed calling out, and deservedly so, were Kelly and Ramona. And that's where most of the arguments stemmed from -- those two women. Again, those two could leave and I wouldn't miss 'em. I suspect Kelly won't be back next season, but I'm sure Ramona will.

Kelly bugged me in the way she kept calling Jill : Jill Zarin...lol I know that's her name but she kept saying it like they didn't know who she was.

Kelly bugs the heck out of me! and I don't think she is pretty at all because of her personality.

OMG, Hukd! I almost peed myself reading that! I really desperately needed a laugh this afternoon, and you just provided what I needed!

I missed the reunions for some reason- was out of town and my tivo didn;t snag them! Hopefully can find repeats... no doubt. Like all of you I just don't care for Kelly and this season Ramona bugged me. She's mean. I still am so fascinated by the two confrontations that Kelly and Bettheny had- seriously Kelly is pathological and I hope she does not come back. The way she would not let Betheny speak- wow! And she completely forgot her own actions. I think she is either an alcoholic or a pill popper. Her weird compliments on Bethheny's beauty and clothes- I was jaw dropped th whole time.

hi meggie. feel the same way about kelly. i'm sure you won't have a problem seeing reunion (2parts). there will be plenty of repeats. i think you can watch at the Bravo site too. one thing that was never addressed, though,: wish someone would have asked about her "jogging with taxis". i just can't imagine anyone getting away with that.

There was a third followup/partial reunion show on tonight: first aired at 9 PM EST, now repeating at 11 PM. Showed leftover unaired scenes from the season (mostly really nice, including more of Jill's Mom, Bethany with Jill's daughter, dance party on Fire Island, we actually see Ramona at work, Simon and Alex's gay friends w/adopted son, and more. Unaired scenes from the reunion including the question (saved for very end) of: if this was an elimination show, who would you want voted off? Alex played it safe and said "flip a coin". Everyone else actually said they would prefer to "return to the original five". I can't remember if Kelly said Bethany's name or not....I remember a pause.

Anyone watch the "Lost Footage" show. I'm sure it'll repeat a lot and I'd say it's must see HWNY. Jill is a nut in an entertaining way. ;).

Yes, the "Lost Footage" show is what I was talking about one post up. I couldn't quite remember the "title"! Found it great fun; I agree, a "must see" for any fan!

The "Lost Footage" epi was great!!! Kelly didn't say Bethany's name, she just took a long Kelly pause while everyone was waiting for her to say Bethany's name.

I question Ramona's "great business sense". 50,000 of those striped shirts, really? Jill with the African man working with orphans was painful. I don't recall any extra footage of The Countess? The bicycle scene with Bethany and Jills daughter was sweet. And the gays with Alex and Simon were funny. Compared to the NJ wives...well it's beginning to be painful to watch them were the NY wives always make me smile.

I too thought it was painful when Jill asked if they had TV in Africa... or if he wanted to take his suit jacket off to be more comfortable, he replied no, so she said, of course, Africans are more used to the heat (or something to that effect) Simon and Alex with Alex friends who are a gay couple - that was a sweet idea, but it seemed way to contrived - with the bride and groom in the background they jumped in and told thier kids about sometimes a man and a man can be married - but I did find the contrived "do you think Simon is gay" funny as the one guy said his "gaydor" didnt go off around Simon... lol I do like how Alex said they like to be over the top for reactions... and of course another opportunity to see Simon in a speedo!! roflol

Omg Jill with the man from Kenya was painful. And did you notice how Jill kept interrupting the lady who was telling the story ? Jill does not come off as the sharpest knife in the drawer. I have not even finished watching this episode yet but I did not notice that Ramona is convinced that she is not only good looking but a good business woman as well. She may have her faults in my opinion but she is confident ! Good point reader on the gay/married comment. I am pretty liberal but I did take notice of that scene.

Wearing an orange jumpsuit, picking up trash in the middle of the street, with taxis following her. I'd pay to see that!!!

Two days of community service is barely a slap on her hand.

Man, there are some people who I would love to punch in the face if I knew for sure I would only get 2 days of community service (and nothing would stay on my record either!).

and honestly, if the roles were reversed - then what! IF her ex had been brought up on charges of "abusing" her - do you think the system would have given a man 2 days of community service? as well as let him go on tv - - wait... Chris Brown... never mind!

Just met Bethenny at a book signing in the Chicago 'burbs. Don't have cable, so I've never seen the show. She IS hysterical. Is she generally considered the favorite on the show?
