First baby, she may have a ways to go yet....Especially if her water broke and they had to induce to start contractions. Jill is probably in the waiting room, whining about the fact that no one is TELLING HER ANYTHING

Okay I just watched Thursday nights episode. I felt that the whole Alex and Jill fight was staged. It just really felt like bad bad acting. I wish I could stop watching this trainwreck, unfortunately I am hopelessly addicted. If any of those women read this message board, I want them to know this. They are no better than those crazy screaming women on the Jerry Springer show, just a tad bit better dressed. Sorry, that was my gripe for the day!

OMG, THIS takes the CAKE!!! JILL has announced that Bethenny had a baby boy on her Facebook status! Way to hop in the middle of Bethenny's moment, Jill! Nothing good to say about Jill, so stopping on her and just congrats to Bethenny and Jason.

Kelly's twitters are quite a treat. She basically says that the show is scripted, that all the girls are putting on an act except her, Jill and LuAnn. That they are the only real ones who are keeping it real. She also tweeted that she will no longer comment on the housewife stuff cause everyone is being mean in their comments and they don't know what is real or not. And she is above all this drama and getting on with her life.

Please don't shoot the messenger. I just found what I, and I think some others here, will consider to be GRIM news about RHONY. Seems this drama and catfighing is getting them their highest viewership ever, and the hits on their web sites are blowing up. For for those of us who hate how this show has gone and just want normal human interaction, well, I'd say the execs will go by the numbers sadly. What is wrong with people??? ARGGHHHHH Read it and weep; http://tinyurl.com/2vbt5jf

I don't really see how one set of people can be "real" and the others fake....they are either all in it if it is "scripted" or not, but you can't really script it one sided. For example, producers could goad Alex to confront Jill, but unless Jill is in on it, there is not going to be an argument. And good heavens, how could you script RAMONA? (Kind of giggling even thinking about that!) And I mean that in a nice way towards Ramona, I think she is wonderful and completely original!

RHONYC Script Bethenny: OMG I'm so busy! I wish I could have a Skinnygirl margarita but I can't because I'm having a baby which will guarantee me another solo reality season! Jill: G-d I hate Bethenny for stealing the spotlight, how dare she, it's all about me! You can read about that in my book. Ramona: I'm the only real businesswoman here, as you can see from my jewelry and skincare line. Which just happens to be branded ReNewal and so I am renewing my whole life as part of the branding. Luann: You should all stop being so mean to Jill because only I, as part of the titled nobility, get to be judgemental and interfering. Face it, half the wars in history have been run by people like me, you are amateurs. Sonja: This is fun, you are all talking now! Well, the topic could be nicer but look on the bright side! Kelly: (dial tone)

Well the fighting was filmed months ago so they'd have no idea what the ratings would be months ago prior to viewers seeing these episodes so while I agree they are likely all playing to the camera (how could they not with a lens in their face) at least I enjoy Alex, Ramona and Bethenny. So I really don't put alot of stock into any articles saying B, R, and A are doing anything contrived when this whole show is contrived and none of them could predict ratings that are happening now when filming has already ended from months ago. I'm so wordy. Prison#6 I need to borrow your wording on this one lol

I truly think the "scripted" part is when producers sit down with each of them to "plan" the season - which parties, or who will have a party, - its pretty obvious with these HW shows they dont know each other and some of their gatherings are so awkward... but do cause drama - and I do think they are encouraged by a producer to "bring up" or "talk about ______" and I think HW has been very very good to Kelly considering what was going on with her life before and now after HW! Did I read they are going to launch a Wash DC HW with the Sahilies?

Ya like Kelly taking pictures on the streets of NY and like when Kelly was telling the editor that she had never like taken pictures before and I was like bored out of my skin watching the bore fest. Like that was totally scripted and like Kelly is sure like trying to find an angle to be the break out star of the show LIKE Bethenny is but she can't like give us anything to LIKE LOL

Kelly is most definitely scripted and miserably, by her own doing. I haven't seen a nonscripted thing from her yet, the previews show her trying to play herself up a notch, but I have a feeling she falls flat. The sourpuss is doing interviews slamming the more popular housewives. Wow why am I not surprised?

The ones who complain about it being scripted are ones who most often come off looking bad. Jill has claimed all along that some of the housewives were told to amp it up or Rrisk being cut out of next season - not her, of course. Does anyone else think it's odd that the only "announcement" about the baby's birth comes from Jill? No word from Bethenny, or even the people we know she is friends with like Alex and Simon or Ramona. All the news sources trace back to Jill. I'd think there would be a tweet from someone by now. Ramona posted from the airport that she had talked to Bethenny who said she was on the way to the hospital.. Then nothing for hours, until Jill's announcement. I don't think we've heard the end of the story yet...

I wouldn't trust anything that Jill may say or tweet or put on her fb status. Maybe Jill got a bad google alert.

I saw that the baby is to be baptized tonight, which makes me concerned.

I also think that concept of telling the women to ramp up the drama is a HUGE part of it. And while it's true they aren't sure what will work, they now are! That's how I feel. I would MUCH rather that folks are like many of us here and preferred the housewives when it wasn't "all snark, all the time." For week many of us have been saying it's no fun to watch and we want to see them basically get along. Given the rating, they are going to want as much over the top BS as possible in the future. BLECH!!!

I emailed Bravo TV after watching the first episode of RHNJ and told them they were going to lose at least one viewer if they didn't stop promoting the nasties. It isn't fun to watch and I let Bravo know. I wish others would do the same. Maybe they'd get a hint? I've not heard anyone saying they love this season of RHNYC, and I don't know how representative we are, but I can't imagine that everyone is loving this show!

Where are y'all seeing that Bethenny had her baby and it is being baptized tonight? I can't find anything online about Bethenny delivering her baby, much less it being baptized tonight.

I'm at a friend's house playing with my iPad, but when I get home I'll explain why i think the whole thing is fishy, for example, isn't Bethenny Jewish? Why would they baptize her baby? And why would nurses for the hospital tweet private information to gossip sites, breaking HIPAA laws and risking their jobs?

Ya that's a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. HIPAA laws are very serious and the tweeter Maxine is saying blatantly that the ICN nurses are telling her this info.

Google "bethenny frankel baby" and you'll see several articles. A boy, 6 lbs something, that a "doctor" announces. Don't know anything else, other than I saw an article where it said Jill tweeted about it.

Just to confuse the issue a whole lot more: ust in time for Mother's Day, Bethenny Frankel is a new mom! The Real Housewives of New York City star and her husband Jason Hoppy welcomed a baby girl Saturday, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. "Bethenny and Jason are proud to welcome their new baby girl, Bryn Hoppy, born at 8 a.m. . . . in New York City," the rep says. "She is a 4 lb. 12 oz., healthy baby. Bryn, mom, dad and [their dog] Cookie are all very happy."
