I haven't watched this yet, but am totally looking forward to kicking back and watching this. No drama, just an enjoyable hour. I've always liked Bethenny, although I thought she was a bit "hard" at one point. But I appreciated her "speak her mind" and never thought she was totally full of BS. I'm happy for her, that she gets to have it all -- career, hubby, new baby! And I'm looking forward to this new show!

Expected to dislike the show for I feared it was going to be much of the same hatred spewed from RHONYC. However was pleasantly surprised at the humor and honesty the show portrayed. Absolutely loved the scene where B & J vied for Cookie's attention. I can see where Jill's green envy comes from....this is a nice show and she is NOT a part of it. I wish Bethany, Jason, Bryn and Cookie much luck and success.

I am just relieved that someone has a dog that might weigh more than 5 pounds. most dogs on RHONY look like and are treated like accessories instead of having real personalities. signed Dog lover

It's wonderful to see this refreshing spin-off from such a toxic "housewives" show. I hope Bravo doesn't poison it by injecting members of the RHW cast into it just for drama. I'm enjoying the humor and reality of this one.

Costa, there's drama in BGM, but it is honest drama that's resolved, not the BS one-up-manship of RHONY. I find it interesting that it looks like Bethenny is an outgoing introvert (in the psychological definition of introvert) while Jason seems to be a more reserved extrovert (ditto). Introversion doesn't mean shyness (Bethenny is not at *ALL* shy!), but is does mean you derive your energy from being alone. Extroverts derive their energy from being around other people. That causes natural conflict, but they did a good job on the first show of working together to understand each other and resolve that conflict. I liked how the therapist told Bethenny (not exact words), that if he'd gone through what she's gone through with her family, he'd be effed up, too. In other words, she's normal in her neuroses.

I watched this show this morning, as I was enjoying my coffee. And I must say... I totally enjoyed this show! I absolutely loved the "no drama" (even though there were spats with Jason). It was fun and amusing and sad. I'm liking Bethenny more and more. She's really "real". She says what she thinks, she's not phony, and she's a real crack up when she wants to be. I'm looking forward to more enjoyable shows in this series.

This got great ratings, highest ever for a Bravo premier, over 2M viewers! Congrats to B!

Yay for Bethenny!! I hope Bravo's producers realize that this type of show was so much more enjoyable to watch. The Real Housewives series (the recent OC, NYC, and current NJ) are so filled with drama and chaos, that they aren't enjoyable. Yeah, we talk about them, but they are no longer fun. THIS show, this type of show, I'll continue to watch!

She really is quite witty isn't she? I enjoy her comments. When she told the assistant she wasn't going to be sleeping with him because she was already knocked up I just cracked up.

Sadie I thought the same thing. So many things refreshing about this show. The no makeup and Jason's bedhead and the assistants that don't look like models except for Max. The dog that isn't super rich breed expensive and looks like a mutt who can't fit into a teacup.

Hey, I called it refreshing 20 minutes into the show last week! Also, someone said they had wrapped shooting for the season, but according to that cutie Max, they have another week to go.

re-watching this and Bethany isn't quite as open to compromise as I initially thought. She seems to talk over Jason when he tries to voice his opinion. She also seems to think if it isn't her way, it's not a compromise. I still like her though.

Really liked her therapist and how real she is in that session. Her willingness to get things straightened out before marriage is also refreshing. She knows that her life is overwhelming right now and she also wants success with her future husband. Very nice show!

One thing struck me on this show. Their friends look like real people, not selected by production. How refreshing. I hope Bethenny grows to trust Jason more, and learns it's safe to really compromise. She should keep seeing that therapist.

I'm not even going to bother to look at that. Omarosa is such a nonentity in my life, and I have absolutely no desire to know what she's doing, nor do I care what she's doing. I just wish she'd go away forever.

Well I did watch the clip and not because I like Omarosa, I do not, but I am amazed at the fact that she feels so superior to Bethenny who has been on a show and now has her own show, which I feel is so much better than the HW as there is no catty fighting (so far) and Bethenny also has 2 book out and is a chef and in her words has a brand. Exactly what is Omarosa famous for other than being a B....???? I can't think of one thing, just sayin

I'm sure that Omarosa getting her face out there to "feud" with Bethenny has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that she has a show coming out.

Ya Bethenny was shocked to be compared to Omarosa and I was too when The View ladies "jealousy IMO" suggested it. And now the obvious has happened, this Z lister that never accomplished anything is trying to revive her 15 seconds of fame by fueding with Bethenny. Notice a trend here? I am going to pass on clicking the link but apprectiate the post of it Reader. It did remind me of why I hate The View.

I didn't even bother to look at that. The big O's 15 min. of fame was over awhile ago. She's using Bethenny to stay in the media.
