I read so much, bloggers, articles etc., that I forget where I hear things. According to some article somewhere, which I forget who wrote, Sonia comes out guns blazing and sets everyone straight. It was mentioned that she has the biggest set of ****s of any of them. We will see. She does seem level headed and strong to me.

My biggest question at this point is where are these people friends? If I were Kelly's or Jill's friend and I felt that they were being portrayed unfairly, I would be quick to say. HEY, they are good people!

Where are the friends??

Kelly doesn't have any friends.

Jill has alienated all of hers.

I'd guess that none of these folks have great strong friendships and I'd bet Jill has severed many friendships in the past as she did with Bethenny. Kelly is a acts like a nutjob and doesn't have any long time friends the kind that has lasted decades.Jill and Ramona have known each other for years and look how they trash each other.

My question is where is the father of Kelly's children, that disturbs me how a father could let Kelly be the primary care giver to those kids. Shame on him.

Yeah, I was wondering about that Lil. Back when we first heard about Kelly's "breakTHROUGH not breakDOWN" on the yacht/island. I was wondering were Giles was and what he was thinking about. I dunno, if I was the father of those kids, I'd start seeking primary custody.

Kelly and her ex live in the same apartment building in NYC from what I hear, so I would assume he is active in their lives

Baby Daddy probably just took pictures of Kelly's breakdown poses. He's the best in the world, ya know.

Looks like Sonja definitely does something on the reunion show, lol. Check out this tweet of hers:

Frogchik, It's good to know Giles lives in the same apt building. And I guess if things at home get a bit like Scary Island the girls can run to dad, I hope. But still if I was Giles I'd have some concern about the mental health of the girls' mom. PLus I bet he travels a bunch, I don't know I just worry that the girls realize something is wrong with mom and I hope they aren't the ones parenting Kelly, they do seem more mature than Kelly.

In psychology, there's a concept called fundamental attribution error, which is the tendency to judge the behavior of others as a function of their personality rather than the situation they are in. This is why I keep trying to point out that we only see Kelly at her worst when she's around Bethenny, for the most part.

She could be a great mom. Kelly Ripa could be telling the complete truth when she says she's seen Kelly be perfectly normal in the situations she's seen her in. Just because we've seen her act crazy in a very specific situation doesn't mean she always behaves that way.

In two seasons, we've seen less than 30 episodes in which Kelly has appeared. Let's say she's been on each of those episodes an average of 15 minutes. That's about 7.5 hours of air time. That's not even an average workday, out of two years of her life. It's also 7.5 hours edited for the most drama.

I'm extremely uncomfortable judging someone's fitness as a parent, even Kelly's, based on such a biased sample of observation. That doesn't mean I want her on the show; indeed, I think the situation of the show brings out the worst in Kelly. But that's doesn't mean she should have her kids taken away from her.

While I agree with you, I have to say that of about the 7.5 hours of edited airtime we've seen, 7 of those hours have been Kelly acting like a whack job. Even at the reunion, she would interject crap into the middle of a conversation (like when Ramona told Bethenny the bridge convo was the one thing she'd like to take back and Kelly asked her if she wouldn't want to take back calling her stoopid).

I'd also mention the fact that she keeps whining about not putting her kids in the media yet every time she does that she whines TO the media.

I'm sure she'll never be mother of the year, but I really think she needs to take a step back and think about what she really wants and needs, and what her kids want and need. The reality show fame hog bit isn't doing her any good, and her constant craving for attention isn't doing her kids any good.

Now *that* I can cosign. She really doesn't belong on the show, since it does seem to bring out her worst, and her kids are too young to be able to truly handle the backlash. I don't think it makes her a bad mother, though.

one of the rag mags has an article about Kelly's friends ridiculing her over her breakdown. I am going to find out which one! It might take me a year or two lol

I'm pretty comfortable judging Kelly or at least worrying about her kids, especially since they have another parent living so close. I'm not saying Kelly would abuse her kids but even if I only saw a 1/4 of what theyn did show us from crazy island I'd still believe Kelly has a few screws that aren't locked in. She doesn't seem all that grounded even when Bethenney isn't in the picture. She gets weird around Alex too. Who knows if a neighbor or one of the kids teachers doesn't cause Kelly to go whacko???

Ripa saying KellyKartwheels seems nice at the horse grounds doesn't surprise me. I bet she doersn't have anything against horses since they are cousins of unicorns.

Kelly put herself in a REALITY show and we the audience gets to judge what we see, it's that simple for me. I guess be careful what you wish for.
