I thought Ramona looked great!

I agree about Kelly hating Bethenny so much, she cannot fathom how Bethenny is doing so well!

Someone either wrote or called in to the after show and asked Andy about Kelly's recent public comments about being "forced" to go on the girl's weekend. He said that it was absolutely not true, and that it gets discussed at the reunion show. So Kelly once again, lives in an alternate universe.

Kelly Ripa was great on Watch What Happens! I love it that Andy has found people all season who are really fans of the show (other than Jerry Seinfeld...I just didn't really enjoy his appearance last week).

Avery was really so pretty all made up, wasn't she? And I loved Ramona's and Mario's vows. The person acting as the preacher (or whatever he was supposed to be), not so much.

Avery did look nice,her hair was gorgeous!

I like Andy much better this year than last - I used to think all he did was bobble his head when he talked but now I think he handles the host role much better and I agree Huk'd - all the guests have been interesting except for Jerry and that bummed me b/c I loved Jerry when he was on Letterman's show.
Kelly Ripa was a lot of fun tonight.

Ha ha, I always love the end of season freeze frames where they tell us what is going on in the housewives individual lives. Here is Kelly's:

Kelly remains committed to a life full of lollipops, unicorns and rainbows...and spends much of her time being charitable.

Wow- I can't believe what a nut job Kelly ended up being! I actually hope she is not on next year. When she and Bethenny had that first fight in the bar a few seasons back I knew she was a head case and I am glad for Bethenny the others have seen it now.

For one thing it has always seemed odd to me that she is always talking about her being married to the famous photographer when the fact is he left her so why is she still defining herself through him? I agree she is jealous of Bethenny.

I bet the reunion is volatile.

I do wish Bethenny and Jill could put the past behind them. I did think their friendship was genuine and I think they both went too far.

Okay after viewing last nights show here are just a few random thoughts. Ramona's advice to Jill was right on the money. Try to view things through other peoples's perspective. Humble pie looks good on Jill. She should wear it more often. Money can't buy you class or elegance but it can buy you a young boyfriend. I loved it when Sonya shut LuAnn down by telling her basically to hush because she wasn't <there>. I really liked Simon much more this season because I didn't have to see him half naked getting a massage. I have enjoyed Alex much more this year because she is actually sane and not attached to Simon's side. And should'nt we all be honored that Kelly gifted us with her presence at Ramona's shindig.

Just read the blogs. Kelly tries to look smart by saying something in French. Half the comments correct her grammar. CLASSIC!

I enjoyed last nights show. The Bethenny/Jill drama is the type of drama that seems to work for me on a show like this. It's honest conflict, not manufactured craziness. I also find what happened between Jill and Bethenny at Ramona's ceremony interesting. Jill says she wants to be friends again, Bethenny says Jill will have to make some changes, and Jill says she isn't going to change. Of course she isn't going to change, because she just doesn't get what she does wrong.

I thought it was interesting what Kelly Ripa said about Kelly Bensimon on the WWHL show. Apparently Kelly R. has met Kelly B. several times out and about (for example, at horse shows), and she says what we see on TV is a different person. In person, Kelly B. is a "very together, with it, calm lady" according to Kelly R. I'm more convinced than ever that she is not mentally ill, but "jus' jellus" of Bethenny, and amping up the drama to ensure air time.

Ya,after she bashes Ramona about 17 being a random number for renewing your vows.

Jill wanted nothing to do with Jill almost all season then she changed her mind. Not because she got over the "get a hobby" comment but because she realized Bethenny has her own show and and getting lots of TV time and Jill wanted to make sure that she got her fair share of TV time though Bethenny's show and coat tails.

Maybe Kelly Bensimon just has spells of insanity and the times that Rippa sees her out and about town Kelly B is able to keep her special brand of craziness in check.

Ramona complaining about no food prior the renewal is just who she is. She'd like to mar the event as much as she could.

Jill is nobody's friend.

Ewwwww on LuAnn's date. Now he truly was creepy!

Kelly's confessionals are interesting for sure. She seems so "together" at times and right on with her comments, but they are generally not said until she has said something wacky and negative (like the 17 being a random number, then the eye roll, but then says that of course she'll go and is happy happy or whatever).

I really want to like Kelly, I do think her heart is in the right place and that she truly doesn't want anything but unicorns and rainbows in her life. It's admirable to be that way, for sure, but it hasn't taught her how to deal with things that are not unicorns and rainbows.

I thought it was funny when Jen was complaining on how the event was being done and low and behold the planner was standing right next to her :-)

...and yeah, duh Jen, the saying is, "opinions are like ***holes, everybody has one" but she left out the "opinions" part, lol!

I think she will slide into her role next season when Bethenny isn't there anymore. Bethenny said in an interview that she is 75% percent sure she will not return and that money wasn't her draw for participating. Then the interviewer said that she seems happy with her husband and baby, all the books etc., and then asked her the percentage again. She then said, "o.k., now I'm 82% certain I won't be back." She cracks me up!

I don't trust Kelly's confessionals because I don't know when they are held. Does she do the whacked out thing, and 2 minutes later the confessional? Or two hours, or two days later? I always get the impression they have time to think about what they did in those confessionals, and run their PR tactics.

Jill is truly amazing. It really is all about her, isn't it? The lunch with Bethenny was painful, and Jill really doesn't understand why she's having so many problems with the others.

Luann's song is absolutely abysmal. Money can't buy you class but it sure can buy you a music producer who can electronically modify your voice so you don't sound like a stuck donkey. But even then, it isn't gonna buy you a hit song no matter how many dollars you throw at it. And her new French boyfriend? She clicks with him? Eesh. Dunno. I think Luann is 100% fake, so I'm not sure how she could click with anyone.

Still watching... Ramona hasn't had her renewal vows yet. Jill just showed up in Ramona's room. Jill is doing the Jill thing... snooping around the suite and barely looking at Ramona while she does so.

I saw an interview which stated that the filming was over end of last year. Confessionals were done either in or after January.

The reunion was done last week right after the girls were able to see the final episode. They are given the episodes to watch about 1 week before we see them.

See? Damage control. While they likely haven't seen the footage, they've had time to think about what they did, and try to cover their butts. I've always thought that's all Jill's confessionals were all about... damage control.

Yes! That's exactly what it looked like.

For some reason I recall Bethenny saying some of the confessionals were done in April, but I could be completely off about that. She got married in March, and it was after her wedding that she said her face swelled up so much from the pregnancy. In some of the confessionals, I think her face looks swollen. I would imagine the producers need time to go through the footage and pick what they will air.

You can tell some of the confessionals were at a later date because of Ramona's hair...lol It was a bit longer/messy in her confessionals. Okay you know I am obsessed with their hair! I am more disturbed by Kelly's red blush she's wearing in the piece!

Wow, Jill snooping around, I didn't think of it last night but it was EXACTLY what she was doing!

Still watching (just finished with Ramona's renewal ceremony) and had to come comment before I finish...

During the reception beforehand, Jen and Jill were talking. Jen was asking Jill about Bethenny. Kelly was standing off to the side. So what does Kelly do? Interrupts Jen and Jill to announce that Ramona doesn't know she's going to be there, that she "forgot" to tell Ramona she would be. WTH? Seriously Kelly? Watching that little interaction, I realized that Kelly is all about the attention. And that's it. If someone isn't paying attention to her, she'll insert herself into the conversation so they are.

I thought I was going to like Jen, but the snarky comments about Ramona's pre-renewal reception just turned me off. These women seem to prefer to be miserable, and must always find something to pick at. No wonder they don't look happy... they aren't. I can't imagine going through life with such negativity surrounding me.

Bethenny's face definitely looks different in her confessionals than it does during the show's scenes. She really swelled up during her pregnancy, didn't she?

Loved Watch What Happens with Kelly Rippa - it was good to hear her opinion of Kelly B - maybe she is playing all of us?!! and I LOL at the "sweetie" drink game!!

ITA Jill and Bethenney drama is not manufactured, and I started to tear up at their talk at the luncheon - mostly because it reminded me of failed friendships I have had - it was real, and raw... and then... classic Jill - I have a present for you... ok... here, I made potato latkes... OK that cracked me up!! I know it was filmed during Hannakuh, but the way Jill kept pointing out her homemade gift - just didnt fit the mood of the discussion.. "and do let me know how you like the potato pancakes"

Andy said the reunion took 8 hours to film - why oh why cant Bravo do the Big Brother thing and let us pay per view the 8 hours LIVE!! I mean come on - we do it for Big Brother, wouldnt it be so great to see this?!! He showed Ramona jumping up to leave at one point - almost could read Andy's mind "wait, what?"

Definately damage control going on - remember how Kelly started talking about the whole vacation scene the week before it was shown? However, I kept thinking, LouAnn wait till you see the tape!

and ITA that countess song is so overproduced, I have a feeling she wasnt even lip synching that well because they certainly werent showing close ups! Wonder who will get a song next season - which show, which Housewife?

Kelly deleted her tweets last night, but someone got a screen cap!

I actually went back and forth with her on Twitter the other day and she later deleted her responses to me
