ok wikipedia says ramona is 51 so maybe she meant 18 years including dating, but with ramona you never know.

Diana was not allowed to keep "Her Royal Highness" but was still Princess Diana and the Countess keeps her title because she is the mother of the Counts first son.

Bethanny is sharp but I feel she hides behind that humor. Bethenny's comments do make me wonder why she's so estranged from her parents.

Just remind me to never borrow an aspirin from Kelly...Obviously it is soaked in LSD and laced with amnesiac derivatives.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Csnog. It's like trying to keep track of 2nd cousin versus 1st cousin once removed. My mind cramps...lol

So which is it? Kelly and Bethenny are NOT alike? Kelly and Bethenny ARE alike? And Kelly says she's blonde? To quote Kelly, "STOOOOOOOP. Just STOOOOOOOOP!"

I'm also not liking Ramona any longer. I thought she was tolerable in season 1. This season she comes across as just desperate and almost pathetic. And yes, crazy.

Loved the body language Ramona puts out though. Subtle, not! She couldn't get any farther away from Kelly, could she?

It was interesting that when Kelly was breaking down, the only one to offer support was Jill, who was sitting way on the other couch and said "Could someone bring Kelly a tissue?". Both Alex and Ramona were sitting wide apart from Kelly and as far as I could see made no body language attempts at support--unlike when Bethany was upset and Jill immediately reached out to her.

Kelly comes off crazy as if she is on something

Ramona comes off crazy as if she has something missing

Interesting to know if when they watch the show in private they are embarrassed

what about Kelly's comment to the effect of 'why are we talking about all of this, why can't we talk about something else?'

And "I'm bored!" What the heck did you think you'd talk about when you were invited on to a reunion show?

Where did I read that the 2 hour reunion shown on TV was edited down from a seven-hour taping? Did someone say that here? or does anyone know where i might have read it? If that's correct, it might be one of the reasons Ramona was getting bored.

I think the 7 hour taping may have come from Behtenny on the Bonnie Hunt show - not sure if she was being literate or sarcastic?

also - about the tears from Kelly - I cant believe no one called her on it - I think she had some real emotions, to get attention, then realized it was some raw emotions, by the time the kleenex came - she was in full control and in no way needed a kleenex...

she is different -

Beth, it was in both the TV Guide magazine, and the host said it several times.

It wasn't Ramona getting bored, it was Kelly. And I think Kelly was bored when they weren't talking about her.

As for her tears, I don't believe anything that woman says or does. She's very calculating for all the "I'm such a Bohemian". Which, btw, I loved it when Jill called her out on that. "You may drive a truck but your house is more expensive than mine!" Hahahah!

Another thing I caught with Kelly, way back when her and Bethanny had the fight Beth told her she had met her several times and Kelly totally ignored her (which Kelly vehemently denied). Last night, Luann said the same thing happened to her at parties where Kelly totally ignored her and turned her back on Luann.

I've wondered for a while if Kelly might be taking some bad meds. She often appears incoherent and loses her train of thought A LOT.

Alex came off looking the best. She wasn't emotional and didn't have to get too many digs in and she seemed diplomatic. I wanted to see Simon, I know he's not a housewife but he usually cracks me up in a good way.

I'll miss this show while it's on hiatus any news on when they come back?

Lex, I think it has to do with the fact that Kelly doesn't really like women. If there's a room where the girls are on one side and the guys on the other, she'll beeline for the guys. Girls won't build up her ego.

Alex came off looking the best because she said two words to every one else's 100.

Ok, so I have only watched the first part of the reunion, so I don't know if in the other part Kelly says she is bored, but I could swear in the first one it was Ramona that said she was bored. It will record again later so I will watch again to make sure.

so I guess both of them say they are bored with the topic at some point (still haven't seen second hour). I can't comment on Kelly's moment, but when Ramona said it all I could think was she was bored because the conversation wasn't revolving around her. I am looking forward to the second part :-)

Alex came off the best because she kept her mouth shut and because she was the only one who wasn't displaying such insecurity. People with that "You think you're better than me!" attitude drive me nuts, and that seemed to be the problem most of them were having. One by one each of them got torn apart by the wolfpack for saying something that was perceived as claiming superiority. Insecure people love to take offense, even when it obviously wasn't intended. I don't blame Kelly for not wanting to claim friendship with these women. They treat each other horribly and perpetuate every old stereotype that exists about how women relate to each other. Why are they all so afraid of someone coming across as superior? They wouldn't have to worry about it if they'd make different choices in their own behavior.

I also don't blame Kelly for saying she was getting bored, because by then so was I. I distinctly recall Bethenny saying the same thing on Tuesday's show when they were rehashing some other topic. I kind of expected them to talk mostly about the things that happened on the show, but it felt like most of the time was spent just accusing each other of not being authentic enough for the cameras.

Kelly isn't a girl's girl, and I don't think this experience will change that. Ramona does have crazy eyes most of the time, but more than anything she comes across as extremely insecure. Her mannerisms and the darting eyes just reflect a low sense of self. She always looks like she's expecting to be attacked at any moment, perhaps because of those childhood issues she talked about.

I felt sorry for the countess being criticized mercilessly for not exposing her marital problems to the cameras. I think they just resented her for not acting like a child during the season the way the rest of them chose to.

It would be great if these women could spend some time with a vocal coach, because some of them could benefit from losing the Fran Drescher voices. It's funny how in real life rich people never look or sound like you'd expect.

LOL Curly! I like your analysis. I'm probably guilty of some of that behavior myself at times, but some very astute observations.
