Lol, Marameko! Rehtse, I felt about the same as you posted before I even saw the show. I saw Bethenny the same way and was very surprised that the peeps voted something like 70/30 in favor of Bethenny on the aftershow last night. I guess it may have been because Bethenny was on the show, but it was surprising. Jill took Bethenny under her wing and was like a friend/mother to her and seemed sooo hurt when Bethenny told her to "Get a Hobby." I can understand why that upset her. Now that Bethenny's life is full, she doesn't have time for Jill, but perhaps she will regret it later on. I'm thinking there might be a chance for a reconcilliation after the baby is born and Bethenny is jetting all over anymore. Perhaps then she'll once again need a friend like Jill again. I'm not sure if Jill will want to be friends again, though. I like Jill, but I'm not sure I liked the little threesome click of Jill, Alexis and Luann on Ramona's rented yacht. It seemed somewhat rude and high schoolish. Of course, the countess is all over someone for dissing her, lol...always.

I still have the show on my DVR, but I couldn't resist visiting the thread. I'd seen the commercials and wondered what the heck happened between Jill and Bethenny, and assumed it had something to do with the advertising over the bar last season. But I have seen posted elsewhere, Bethenny saying that she didn't know Bobby was sick until far after he was already well (at least that's the best of my recollection). And then she said she had called Jill numerous times and Jill never returned her calls. So I'm not sure what actually happened between these two. It's sad, I loved them together! Oh, and I've also wondered about possible jealousy since Bravo picked up Bethenny for her own show. B was very popular last season and I think Bravo just saw her as coming in with an established fan base. I could see why Jill might be jealous if that happens to be the case because she was pretty equally popular as B.

Lord knows Ramona gets on my last nerve, but I did not like "Countless" and Jill ganging up on her. I used to really like Luann; now she is just full of herself.

Wow ~ Ramona's melt down on the boat reminded me of why I ended up liking Alex and Simon so much last season. The rest?

They ALL take things WAY too seriously! I mean yes, it was tasteless for Ramona's husband to say 'Countless' in earshot of Luann, but I would shrug something like that off and she made SUCH a big deal of it! Ditto with the "Get a hobby' remark - my God, it these ladies had to live my life, they would collapse in a day!

I found it interesting that Jill and Bobby sold their Hampton house. Funny how Jill said they sold at the height of the market. Hmmm, the real estate market has been down for quite a few years so I don't think they really sold at the height but I am wondering why they sold?

Aha, just found this article. http://www.newsday.com/classifieds/real-estate/real-li-1.812034/real-housewives-jill-zarin-as-real-estate-genius-1.1774767 The way I read it, they sold it in 2007 and got to use it the next 2 years in June and July?

Yeppers Kellsma. She made $1 million profit on the house and she got to use it for two more years so I guess she did make quite the deal.

I watched an episode today and was taken aback by all the sniping. Most of them really can't stand each other can they? I thought the meeting between Bethany and Luann was going to end in a slap fight. Luann saying that if someone invites you to do something, the "inviter" is expected to pay, is just nuts. She is used to being pampered. I would be shocked if someone said that to me, just shocked.

Luann making Bethany drive out of her way to meet for lunch was dirty especially during bad traffic on a holiday. I thot it was equally bad form for her to bring up the Mario "Countless" comment in a gossipy way on the yacht. Drama upon drama. Luann best watch out or she's not going to be getting many more invitations she's shot down Bethany and Ramona already. Oops I forgot she's in a new clique with Jill and Kelly now. An odd trio for sure lol.

Luann's behavior on this episode really was appalling. To confront Ramona about something her (Ramona's) husband said during the middle of a party Ramona was throwing? Um, yeah, that's tactful. To require Bethenny to drive two hours to meet her for a drink? And THEN to say "are you paying?" when Bethenny extended the invite? Again, where's the class, Luann? I'm starting to think Luann is more of a wannabe than I thought. She certainly doesn't practice what she preaches and instead comes off looking pretty darned bad.

I almost fell outa my chair when Luann brought up the are you paying bit. WTH??? She makes Bethenny drive way out of her way and then wants her to pay and says every time you invite her you should pay!! Are you kidding me?? She needs to read an etiquette book, not write one. I'm thinking Luann and Kelly belong in the same looney tunes boat.

I'm thinking Luanne is making Kelly look normal. I think we need to start a drinking game where whenever Luanne says "16 years of marriage" we need to take a shot of tequila. BTW, even though I am suggesting this, I am not paying for you guys.

Didn't Bethenny call Luann to go for drinks?

Bethenny wanted to get together with Luann (I think to clear the air). Luann told Bethenny to meet her at the place near Luann's place (2 hour drive for Bethenny). Then Luann wanted to make sure who was actually paying for the drinks, seeing as how Bethenny extended the invite (even tho Luann made her drive for 2 hours). Make sense, Lex? So this was filmed in September. Hadn't "The Countess" already started going thru divorce proceedings? Like months before?

Okay, I'll be super-<>. If Bethenny didn't want to drive for 2 hours to meet Luann, she shouldn't have called her. Bethenny could have waited for Luann to return from the Hamptons (since this was evidently filmed at the end of summer). You can't invite someone somewhere and then expect the invited guest to drive two hours. As obnoxious as Luann was this episode, I think proper etiquette dictated that Bethenny make the drive. <<<---- Running out of this thread....

Marameko, I don't think the local liquor store has enough tequila in stock for that word. ;)

I was laughing when Ramona said (I think it was her-)that "Countess" doesn't count in America.

Lex, hon, I think Bethenny invited Luann assuming that they'd meet someplace in the middle. Bethenny and her BF were in the Hamptons, weren't they? I'd have thought proper etiquette would be to meet halfway, not insist that "if you want to see me you have to come here to a place next door to my home" which is what I got from the convo. Luann held Bethenny hostage by setting the location that was convenient to HER (Luann). So I'll be super-witch back at ya. Actually, I think LUANN was being the super-witch!

I may have missed that part Costa. If Bethenny thought they would meet someplace in the middle and Luann wouldn't go that far, then Bethenny should have retracted her invite until Luann was back in the city and it wouldn't be so inconvenient for Bethenny. But, if Bethenny said she would drive out there to meet Luann, then she really can't about the drive. I have a feeling we don't have the whole story.

Probably the whole story was this was concocted by the show to get them together to "start" the season.

I don't think Bethany would have made such of an issue of the driving if Luann didn't attack her the minute she walked in the door. Maybe rich people do it differently, but when a friend asks me to go to dinner or lunch with them I don't expect them to pay for me. That is just nuts.
