Huk ~ I'm so sorry. Because of the comments about the rainbow, I was just joking about the kool aid. I always love and respect your great comments and opinions! I was simply trying to highlight that we all have different views and each believe our views. Please accept my apologies for a joke gone bad.

I'm feeling very Kelly-like at the moment. (hangs head in embarrassment)

Ya I like Bethenny too, she cracks me up. Especially the "What was that?" convo with her and Alex on the boat. Best real laugh out of any pair of reality friends I've ever seen, love her!

Maybe I'm a snarky and that's why B makes sense to me. I hate BS. I would have pushed Kelly overboard and given her rants validity.

Folks that identify with Kelly scare me lmao. ::makes the sign of the cross throwing holy water:: stay back I'm PMSing and dangerous this week!!

I just watched a bunch of Martha Stewerts Apprentice with Bethenny on you tube. She had a sharp wit back then too.

Kelly should be left alone by Bravo and the housewives. There is something wrong with her. The other ladies all have faults too just like the rest of us but Kelly is off her rocker.

Oh yeah. Didn't Kelly dip her fingers in her water glass and cross herself?

It's like this woman knows little tiny bits of things and then embellishes the rest. Even *I* know, and I'm by no means Christian or Catholic, that the water you use is supposed to be holy water. Not water from a drinking glass from a villa on an island in the Caribbean.

I thought it truly ironic that Kelly was all "feelings are SO 1970's" but then she goes on and on about being peaceful and whatever. Isn't that SO 1980's? The boho chic thing she tries to claim as her own actually CAME from the 70's, didn't it?

The rainbow thing. I truly had no clue what she was talking about then. The only thing I could think of was that someone was chasing rainbows. But that generally means you're doing the impossible, so I dunno. Maybe Kelly really thinks there's a satchel of gold at the end of 'em? Of course, common myth is that it's a POT of gold. LOL!

That villa was huge. If Kelly really felt threatened, and since she was instigating things I doubt she was, she had plenty of places she could go and hide. But she didn't. She'd leave for a few minutes and then come right back in and start taunting again. She wasn't all that far from home. Isn't USVI closer to NYC than SAN? If she really felt threatened, she could've left the villa entirely. (Then again, I don't believe Kelly can think rationally so she probably didn't stop to consider her options.)

Of course my computer froze on me when I was trying to bring links over.

NYC to SF: 2905 miles
NYC to USVI: 1586 miles
So Kelly wasn't that far away from home. The site said the flight time from NYC to USVI is about 3 1/2 hours direct.

==============================

I thought it truly ironic that Kelly was all "feelings are SO 1970's" but then she goes on and on about being peaceful and whatever.

Feelings are so "creepy" and "gross."

Wow so glad I'm not watching this anymore! It's gotten very toxic from the sound of it. I deal with enough crazy in New York, I don't need to see it on my television.

Thanks Lex. She really wasn't that far from home. And if she felt isolated on the yacht, the next day they were on dry land in a ginormous villa. Oh, and don't forget production staff all around.

I find it creepy that SHE keeps saying creepy. Even THAT sounds so 1970's to me!

I don't know if all the housewives know when someone is being dramatic for the cameras or because they are nuts. It seemed to take a different direction once Sonya pointed out that Kelly had a problem.

Sometimes when you are so close to something, (and are under attack) you can't always see the forest for the trees (or the trees for the undergrowth, as Kelly would have said). Each housewife is pushed to be dramatic by the producers and expects a lot of acting is going on, they might not realize how deep a problem is. That also accounts for some of the mean remarks both on the show and to the press. I am sure there are people to needle them off camera, not to mention how hard it is to be quoted correctly in the press, or should I say the sole communication media today, tabloids.

Since I am not there, I can't say what happened off camera, I have met people (Amazing race runners) and read their blogs on how they were edited, so I am not naive to believe everything I see, but some things are just not editable, like calling someone amazingly insulting names.

While I don't think I would ever be friends with any of these women but they are not so much evil as oblivious to each other's feelings and are more concerned that their side is told over the airways or in the press.

Of all the people on here, I would most likely not be friends with Kelly because she seems to be a man's woman, in that she does not seem to like women or cut them slack. I have worked with women like that and it is no picnic. The other person I would least likely be friends with is Jill because it is not always about her. I was most offended with her reaction to all of Bethany's news - like her father died and Jill'
s main concern seemed to be that she was left out of the loop. A friend's father died recently and another friend told me, so I sent a card because the funeral was about 1500 miles from my home. sometimes when you hear things, the appropriate reaction is to want to comfort the other person, not be concerned why they did not stop their life and call you. True friends do not make everything about how it affects them.

In truth my real life friends are real friends, not people forced into association by a television show.

I thought Kelly was creepy when she kept scrunching her face up and saying "gross" and "creepy"!

When the ladies said "she's crazy" I think they were really in shock at Kelly's reaction and behaviour-not sticking up for one side or the other but I can totally see myself saying that too if I was in that group and I am not mean..lol It seemed like no matter what the topic was-Kelly was on the defense. Even when Sonja brought up that she had a great steak before, Kelly cut her off and told her not to talk about the past.

I hope if Sonja stays on that she remains with the same attitude-she had me laughing when she was talking about her hair...lol My other favorite moment was when LuAnn told Jill: Oh no, darling, you are in this alone (paraphrasing).

Another thing I noticed about the ladies when they are talking about Kelly in their confessional bits is that they all say something, then add: because I really like her! Like they have too...lol

LEt's hope that the next and last time we see Kelly that it is on the reunion show. I am shocked to see how sensible Alex is this season and how I no longer care for Luann or Jill.
If nothing else Betheny is always just herself; she is not pretentious at all.

Kelly and NJHW Danielle should hang out together well out of site of any/all tv cameras.

I hope Kelly is not on the reunion show. I don't think she is strong enough or understands what is happening, if you judge by her tweets.

Very well said, Sadie. It's very easy to make a list of what someone should or shouldn't have done in a situation when it's over, you've seen the whole (edited) version, and have had days to read other reactions to the situation and to think about how someone should ideally react in a similar situation.

However, in the heat of the moment, you don't have the luxury of hindsight and time. Kelly says the four other women were bullying her the entire trip, but I saw Kelly bullying Bethenny, and the other women getting sucked into it. If I had been called a ho-bag, if the same person had repeatedly denigrated my profession, and if she then accused me of trying to kill her (for heaven's sake!), I can't say that I would have reacted any differently then Bethenny. I would be telling that person you're effing nuts. It's easy to say, "Just go somewhere else," but since Bethenny was there to spend time with the other women, why should she have to isolate herself?

I was gobsmacked at the scene where Kelly runs down the hall crying like a child. Her carriage and the way she ran reminded me so much of a child that is was hard to accept the fact that she is a 42 year old woman. It is as if she, in that moment, became a child that was running away from a situation in tears. She was crying, open mouthed as she ran. Did anyone else find that upsetting? That is still haunting me.

It creeped me out. And then the way she returned immediately shoving candy down her throat. (This, the woman who only eats natural stuff.)

The thing is it isn't over. I was hoping after reading her "I'm embarrassed" blog on Bravo that she'd chill. But her twitters are manic and anything but embarrassed or apologetic. Completely the opposite.

Shenanagon, I agree it isn't over. Alex, in her blog, said prepare for the next episode. Maybe this will shed more light on what is actually happening. I know that to a certain extent we see what Bravo wants us to see. That being said, there seems to be more here than meets the eye. I see Kelly's bravado in her blogs and tweets more as an attempt to deflect and to appear strong. You know the old saying, where there is smoke...... Well there are billows and billows. The fire is somewhere.

Wow this board has been busy today! I have to say, I am really looking forward to both this week and the reunion. After last episode, I would really like to see some kind of explanation or resolution.

I think the next episode will focus more on Jill crashing the Villa and less about Kelly's meltdown.
