I agree with you Oliviamimi! I was expecting a bigger blow-out than last week. It was mega uncomfortable when Jill showed up, wasn't it? I do think; however, that Ramona could have offered Jill and Bobby a drink or something and let things develop. Geesh, what did Bobby have to do with this, yet he was also made to feel unwelcomed. If Jill had gotten out of hand, then they could have asked her to leave. I sort of thought Alex's reaction was a bit over the top, all that hyperventilating.

I thought the show was boring. What a let down. Even Jill's visit was lacklustre to me. I agree that Jill and Luann bothered me more than Kelly's wackiness. I can forgive someone who's truly not seeing reality more than 2 sane women who care nothing about being a friend to someone that desperately needs friends right now.

I think it was a let down because of all the drama on the high seas for the last two weeks. Did you see how freaked Ramona got when Kelly wanted to talk with her? She looked like a wild animal backed in a corner. Kelly would not stop. Jill fell down.

Oh, I *completely* sympathize with Alex. Remember, they had just gotten rid of Kelly that morning after several days of drama, and the women were finally getting a chance to relax and enjoy each other's company when in walks Jill. Jill didn't even acknowledge Alex's presence. The last time Alex had seen Jill was just before they left on the trip, when she confronted Jill about texting everyone to pump them for information about Bethenny's dad. Add in the fact that she was way from her little boys and her husband (today is their tenth anniversary!), and I think it was a perfect storm for her reaction. As for Ramona not offering them something to drink, again, Jill didn't really give her a chance. Jill just turned around and left when it was clear she wasn't welcome. When Ramona came out to talk to her, Jill wouldn't even listen, instead launching into her poor little, "I thought you were my friend but you're Alex's friend so I guess we aren't really friends" routine. How in the world she ever thought she would be welcome there, I don't know. She was fighting with Bethenny, fighting with Alex, and had already blown Ramona off on the trip once. I thought it was actually enjoyable to be able to watch a show where the women were just having fun with each other. I liked the upscale bondage toys with how comfortable Bethenny was with it and how awkward Ramona was (http://www.lailalee.com, just in case you're in the market - but be warned, those pearl handcuffs are $120 and the crystal ties are $350!). Even the toilet paper wedding dresses were silly and cute. It was also good to see LuAnn (and Jen) not buying what Kelly was selling. Jill, of course, was lapping it up, because then it made what happened to her their fault and not hers. I felt sorry for Sonja when they all spent her art auction party in the dining room gabbing instead of buying.

I can't wait for next week when Sonja tells them all to shut up. I really like Sonja.

I did like BARS when they had the party and so on. It was when Kelly and Jill and Luann met up that it was so nauseating. Jill is not fun to watch and Kelly is just a sad character who doesn't even know how messed up she is. Yuck.

Prisoner, I can see how and why Alex was upset when Jill showed up. I just didn't get the whole hyperventilating thing. She seems to have bucked up this season and speaks her mind, so I just didn't understand why she acted sort of helpless and meek. Just my take. I still love Alex and Jill can go eat some "gumberries" (I just now remembered that on last week's show, Kelly said that instead of gummy bears, lol!

yes and yes Teroly and Carlpsmom. I'm over being angry with Jill, now I'm just bored with her. Any minute of her on the screen disappoints me. I like Jen, hope she makes it to next season she really hasn't had much air time. Sonja is a gem among gems Bravo should keep her she's already improving the show for me.

Huk: Read Alex's blog. She goes into depth about how Jill showed up, refused to acknowledge her and when she did look at her she was "shooting daggers" at her. With all the drama of the previous days, lack of sleep because of the Kelly meltdown, she just fell apart. It was the last straw I guess.

Shenanagon, you would be correct, it was the Jackals. I forgot about the utter lack of sleep Terolyn. I just think Alex had been through hell for a previous few days, thought it was finally over, was ready to have some fun...and in walks Jill, who has spent the last two years badmouthing her, her husband, and her cute little boys. Last straw, indeed. Oh, and I don't think she was helpless and meek -- I think she was pissed!

I wish there had been more footage of BARS having fun together on the island once Kelly and Jill were gone. I understand Alex's upset and shaking - I am a person who trembles when I get to a certain stage of angry. (I would have been shaking from anger, it may have been different for her.) Watching this I could not help but wonder what happened that Sonja was not at Bethenny's wedding? I hope there was not some kind of falling out because I really like BARS together. Also - why wasn't Jill at Sonja's gathering? As far as not welcoming Bobby, this was a girl's getaway, why would she even bring him? And if he only sees Jill as saying nice things, he is in denial too. Watch the show much, Bobby?

Also from what they are saying, Ramona called Jill, told her what was going on. Jill acted like she didn't take it seriously then Bethanny took the phone and told her that this was serious. They wanted her to meet Kelly when she landed and be a friend make sure she was ok. Jill didn't even tell them that she was on her way to see them. It was said that it was because she knew Ramona would say no. Jill fell down, kinda symbolizes her this season.

It takes a lot of balls to show up for Ramona's getaway without calling especially after she turned down the invite. I think Jill realizes she's not a well liked housewife this season and is trying to turn things around....it wont work. Since Jill wasn't invited to Bethenney's wedding I guess they don't mend their friendship. Kelly is in complete denial and I'm still worried about her kids. She's not all there in the mental health department. Poor Sonja, I bet she didn't expect her castmates would be so unstable and middle schoolish. Was it ever made clear if Kelly was asked to leave or if she left on her own? If Kelly continued to be out of control after the cameras were turned off (which it sounds like she was) I have to imagine someone stepped in and said you have to leave, Kelly. Ramona rocks this season!!!

Another reason why Alex may have been so upset - from her blog: "We had all reorganized our lives for a week to take this trip. When we planned it, Jill told everyone for various reasons that we shouldn’t go. To me in particular (before we stopped speaking) she had said, “I am planning my own trip and you all should go with me; don’t go on Ramona’s trip.” When it became clear that we were all going, she decided she couldn’t get away and I for one was relieved." So after not getting her way by having everyone sabotage Ramona's plans, Jill tries a different tactic. Alex knew what Jill had done, and that no doubt added to her stress.

Ramona went to Jill's skating party and made up w/ Jill. She had even sent Jill a card after the island incident. But from the previews it looks like Jill doesn't show up for Ramona's vow renewal thing. If that's true, what a hypercrite! And no, Jill and Bethany haven't made up. AT least from all the interviews I saw them doing before the season started.

I am surprised the Countess didn't tell Kelly that it's not classy to show up to lunch in ripped jeans! LOL I am a jeans kind of person but I just think their styles are so different. Who was the one that gave the dig to Simon about Alex going away? Was it Jill or LuAnn? Something about him trying to get on the plane. And speaking of planes, how about Jill crying to Ramona about Bobby spending $$$$ to get a private plane? LOL sorry I thought that was funny. LuAnn is the biggest gossip hound out of all of them.

How ironic was it that Alex FINALLY went somewhere w/o Simon, so there were no men and Jill brings her hubby? Can't Jill face those big bad girls on her own? It was nothing but pure nosiness that made her show up. It was still all about Jill and how she had Bobby spend so much money to get HER a plane. Well, that explains it all, Jill...not!
