As for the rumors, Simon points out that Bravo hasn't even decided that there *will* be a fourth season, so it's a bit premature to say who will be on it.

Call me jaded, but Jill is out there hawking a self-help book, and it seems to me she realizes she better start practicing what she's preaching in that book if she doesn't want sales to plummet. That's why you still see her acting like a shrew on the show, but making all nicey face now.

ITA about Jill and thanks for the info on Bravo and next season. I'm crossing my fingers Silex will be on.

Andy's latest tweet:

Feel bad that Jill didn't get an opportunity to plug her book last night. I should've made sure she mentioned it.

Simon's blog is a riot. He seems to be supporting every single thing we say here. Who'da thunk Simon and Alex would be the normal ones of the bunch?

Luann is soooooooo pretentious I want to barf. Not sure if I like the horny new woman yet. Ramona...well, she's as wacky as they come. I do believe says things many of us think, she just has no concept at all of when it is appropriate to say things. She makes a lot of fun of herself on her Twitter page, so that's cool. Liking Kelly a lot more this season, seems to be a voice of reason and she honestly doesn't want drama. She's a bit over the top, but she's making me like her a little. Yes, she did need shoulder straps on that dress. I liked how she even admitted she looked like a linebacker without them.

Hukd, I'm not liking Sonja. The constant going on and on and on about sex was annoying. And really, a south Florida closet, a Colorado closet and a New York closet? Come on...

Simon has the best blog. he actually goes over the WHOLE episode and breaks it down unlike the housewives who usually just comment on their stuff and plug something.

read an interview with jill at aoltv and she says it was "IMPLIED" to the housewives that they better turn it up if they want to continue holding the apple.

really didnt need to see the peepshow of bethenny taking her pregnancy test.

ramona was out of line bringing up that kodak stuff at the event.

the after show was a joke. 10 minutes on if someone was good to the jews or not?? enough with the fluff, he should having been grilling jill the whole time on all the bs this year.

I'm halfway through this epsiode (just finished watching the fashion show). So far, my thoughts:

1. *If* I was as big of a snob as Jill seems to be, there is no way you'd catch me talking about it with cameras in my face. She was downright rude during the fashion show. If it was so "beneath her" to go, then why did she? (Oh, and Jill? Very rude to say you should've worn a wife beater and jeans.)

2. No way is Kelly Bensimon a runway model. Ever. I know she did editorial, but I'm not sure she ever did runway. First of all, her body type is all wrong. But most importantly, she really doesn't know how to walk runway. The swinging of her hands in front of the dress was gawdawful. (Of course the dress wasn't all that great either, but the first thing you learn as a model is never to put down the dress you are wearing, or the designer of said dress.)

3. Ramona, OK, girl, I know you were terrified but the eyes, the stare, and that WALK! All three combined were just frightening. I don't know if that dress was just too tight to walk in or what but...


Jill is just coming off as a real piece of work this season. And if she did try to extend an olive branch to Bethenny, yeah, um, no I do NOT blame Bethenny for refusing it. I think Bethenny did plenty to try to mend things and become friends. If you (Jill) finally realized what an idiot you were looking like and wanted to make amends to improve your own reputation, well, it's just a bit too late for that, isn't it?

Sonja had a closet for Miami AND South Beach. Um, why not just one Florida closet, huh girlfriend? She looks a little too desperate around the eyes for me.

Costa, you should read Kelly's blog for this week. She explains that she isn't a runway model but did it for Alex. So, I am assumming she use to be more like a "picture" model. Or whatever they call it.

Editorial model. My comment was when Simon said "now we'll see how it's done" when she walked down. And Ramona kept asking for suggestions. So it was IMPLIED that she was a runway model.

....eeeehhhh.... I don't think Kelly has ever implied she was a runway model. I think Ramona and Alex went to her for advice because neither of them had ever done any modeling. Simon may not have realized that she had never done runway.

I just finished watching and all I can say is, to quote Bethenny, "holy shitballs". OMG, Ramona needs a filter between her brain and her mouth. I am so NOT on the Jill bandwagon this season, and Ramona does have a point, but that was up (why Kodak and why didn't you say hi after the fashion show). And then to go on and on and on about it. And then to go on and on and ON about it with Kelly, while the MCs are trying to make speeches?

I have to say, for all their "high society, we-have-class, we are so hoity toity and above the masses" BS these ladies pull, they really haven't learned anything about manners or tact.

Bethenny. I laughed at her reactions when she found out about being pregnant. Both when she was talking in confessional and when she failed to get thru to Jason. And most especially at her "what do I do now?" questions to her friend!!!

Lex, hon, I meant the SHOW implied it. If you didn't know who she was, hearing people talk about Kelly being a model, people may not understand that there is a HUGE diff between runway and print modeling. I used to do runway. I never did do print.

For all that missed Andy's show with Jill and Gloria the Bravo site finally has the video clips. I'm watching it now, so far I think Jill is edging toward admitting she's fallible but not quite there. It's an improvement definitely but, for me, the harm's done. Jill's got a huge mountain to climb, ie, she's still defensive and not humble enough for my apple pie ;)

I liked that Kelly said honestly she's not a runway model. I liked that she committed to Alex's project and didn't slam it. She did say something that hinted she didn't like it but she didn't slam it. Of the 3, ( Jill, Lu, Kelly ) I like that Kelly seems to be trying.

There isn't any class in this bunch but one thing they do seem to have is endless cash, time, and an obsession with fashion shows.

Theresa isn't my favorite blogger and never has bee. She called Sonja 2 names that to me made Theresa look childish. We've only just met Sonja and while she's sexually open about having sex and speaks about her men friends it's a bit early to call someone a B or a Wh*re. By 40 I'd hope we were all mature enough to accept that a single woman has the right and should have a healthy sex life.

Jill's blog is finally up on the bravo site http://www.bravotv.com/

To me it was a snoozer, more of the same blaming Bethenney and, of course, she mentions the book.

Everyone is mentioning their books, websites, jewelry etc it isn't like Jill is the only one doing it. Did she over do it on the show with whats his name? yes but everyone on all the Real Housewives is pushing their wares while they have 15 minutes of fame. It drives me crazy that they do it, but, I don't control the world... yet LOL :-) so I guess I just have to deal with it. :-)

I like that Kelly is able to say "look, strapless looks terrible on me" it wasn't a diss on the dress, she was pointing out that she isn't a runway sized woman and she knows her flaws (at least some), and with this group that is a pretty major thing LOL.

Ramona looked scared to death on the runway, I am glad that she is glad she did it. I do think it was completely inappropriate for Jill to bash her, and I also think it was completely inappropriate for Ramona to decide the best time to confront Kelly was while the MC was doing the presentation, it isn't like she is a quiet woman LOL.

I hope we get some fun episodes, this season has been a downer.

Outside of Silex and seeing what I think is a better side of Kelly this season, I'm having a hard time seeing much good in any of these people. Even when they do charity, it still seems to be more about themselves.

Jill is bugging me but no more then Ramona or Bethenny. As Misty said, they're all hawking something. If I hear about skinny girl one more time, I may scream! And the drama! These 3 are definitely having a contest as to who can make the most drama out of their lives.

Kappy I agree. To me these women, more than any other group of RH women, seem to be in the series just to promote their own interests I get so tired of hearing about their books, their businesses etc.
Shenanagan, Theresa isn't my fave housewife to be sure but her comment did make me laugh. She did say that it was the first thing that came to mind. Being honest it did come to my mind also. I do think a single woman has the right to do whatever they want and I am not one to judge. Just wish there was some discretion. The new woman obviously wants everyone to know she is sexually active. Maybe I am just a bit too conservative and too old. It did make me a tad uncomfortable.

Does anybody know why they introduced a new housewife and who is leaving? I'm kind of bummed if someone is leaving.
