I wanted to add something to why these women are so unpleasant.

Reality shows are not reality, as we know, many times it is manipulated by producers and people on the staff, by planting ideas in people's heads. Add on, the encouragement they receive for bad behavior, particularly in the confessionals. and the influence of being in a group that over reacts until, you yourself over react.

I was not in a reality show, but shared an office with some people and within months I started talking and joking like them, but what is acceptable for men is not necessarily acceptable for women. It is the equivalent of starting to drawl when working with southerners, but in this case it was attitude.

I don't get the attraction Luann has for this new guy, he just doesn't seem to be the kind of classy guy that a "countess" should be interested in.

I think Luann is coming off looking desperate and acting like a horny teenager.

Oh, good grief. Now Kelly is trying to explain away her behavior using the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

Of course, she's doing it wrong.

Oh my gosh, Chitchat, I forgot about him. Ugh....not handsome at all. She's heads taller than him and there is something about his tongue. It's always outside his mouth. Double ugh!

Sadies I do agree with you in that these women are encouraged to create drama. Drama means ratings. I think all of their ego/pocketbooks amp that up tenfold. When all is said and done, all of these women enjoy the celebrity status that comes with this show. Bottom line for me is this. They are all such hypocritical sellouts.
Jill has let the fame of this show go to her head. She seems consumed with jealousy as does Kelly. LuAnne just reeks of desperation. I just think this particular group of women are so jealous of Bethenny and her success. To me Bethenny owns the fact that she has used this show as a vehicle to push her career. Her honesty in that makes her more likable than the other three, well to me anyway.
What irks me the most is the sense of entitlement that Jill, LuAnn and Kelly seem to have. Alex, Bethenny and Ramona seem more grounded and accepting. These three seem like hard working women. I relate more to them than JKL.

JKL = jackal: In jackal society the social unit is that of a monogamous pair which defends its territory from other pairs. These territories are defended by vigorously chasing intruding rivals and marking landmarks around the territory with urine and feces. The territory may be large enough to hold some young adults who stay with their parents until they establish their own territory. Jackals may occasionally assemble in small packs, for example to scavenge a carcass, but normally hunt alone or as a pair.

Those are comments on her "twitpic" page. It's linked to her (and others') twitter account but it's not seen on her twitter page itself.

And yes, those comments are hilarious! (And true, if that is supposed to be a new "tattoooooo"!)

I've never seen a solid-red butterfly, but I'm no scientist. I'm just sayin', if I were to get a tattoo, I'd want one that was detailed, beautiful, intricate and multi-colored--and realistic-looking. The butterfly tattoo didn't look all that special to me, and I'm surprised that she'd put anything permanent that would draw attention to her big, ugly, honkin' foot. Man, she has some manly-looking feet!

It's a temporary tattoo. Here's the video of her applying it.

I wouldn't go look at that vid. I'm sure she'll get a lot of hits and then go bragging about how awesome she is cuz she got 1000's of views. That was an idiotic YouTube. Why would you make a vid of yourself putting on a temporary tat?

Just realized I won't be watching the episode tonight. I will be watching the finale of Grey's Anatomy. So, I guess I will go stand in front of the mirror and yell at myself for a few minutes and then tell myself I am creepy and demented. That way I won't feel like I have missed anything.

Bethenny is on Today Show with Kathy and Hode right now talking about her baby, her breastfeeding woes, she's cute tiny baby (in People Magazine) Hode went to the hospital to meet Bryn and Bethenny.
Bryn is from Jason's brother that passed away 19 years ago, his name was Brian, but he was known as Bryn, Jason took Bethenny to the cemetary to "meet" him -

They are tlking about her new show - lol about the skype freeze frame - and she doesnt care - they are talking about how great Bethenney is!
