Andy - Housewives of NJ??? Why call these shows real housewives? How about Social Climbers of NY. Trashy Noveau Rich of NJ. Plastic Surgery of OC. No Class of Atlanta...
Geez. I gotta get back to work...

Hello Andy,

I just wanted to share that Bethenny is the best on this program. I just want to let Bethenny know that she (Kelly) does not give anyone the time of day, for example she asked Ramona to come to a horse show she was doing and totally egored Ramona when she saw her, because she said she was focused. Well she is focused on her self and not anything around her that does not benefit her. Another example was when Luann took her shopping for an outfit and she did not want to try on a thing until Luann had to pull her arm. Kelly is very self absorbed with herself and her life. She gave alot to Jills charity
due to her looking good on camera, after she blow up in Bethenny's face. Which I think Bethenny is higher than Kelly can ever reach. Its not who you know its what you are inside that counts and Bethenny is a good hearted person and very fun. So Bethenny I wish the best for you and I am going to get your book and buy some for my friends. Bethenny you have a friend in my and that is for sure.

W:)

Please take off RHNJ...How about South Beach?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BETHANY, SHE IS TOO FUNNY !. I LOVE THE WAY SHE SPEAKS HER MIND. SHE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS. SHE REALLY DID PUT KELLY IN HER PLACE. HONESTLY KELLY AND LUANNE (THE COUNTESS!!) ARE MY LEAST FAVORITES ON THE SHOW, THEY BOTH THINK THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE, I HATED IT WHEN LUANNE WANTED THE CAB DRIVER TO CALL HER COUNTESS..IN A PREVIOUS EPISODE, SHES SUCH A HIPPOCRIT, AND SHES WRITING A BOOK ON EDICATE, GIVE ME A BREAK.. WHO IS SHE ANYWAY, SO SHE MARRIED AN COUNT, THAT IN ITSELF DOESN'T GIVE YOU CLASS. SHES HAS NONE FROM WHAT I CAN SEE.. AND KELLY THINKS THAT THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION IS "CUTE" AND DOESN'T WANT TO PUT HER FAMOUS NAME ON IT!! OH MY GOD.. YOU GO BETHANY! BETHANY IS THE ONE UP HERE AND KELLY YOU'RE WAY DOWN THERE!!

Okay Andy and Bravo - this is the way a Southern girl sees it. LuAnn is full of wisdom but doesn't spend alot of time with her children and but she has a kind nature about her. Bethenny is the bomb, she's the real deal. She has a few insecurities, but don't we all. I love her humor, the only way to get through life. Jill is strong sometimes too strong for her own good. Ramona, a TRU/TRUE nut if you ask me. She always looks like a cat that is just about to be hit by a car! And Kelly, I can't stomach her, please put her back under the rock she crawled out from. She makes me want to stop watching the show. She's so fake!! And very childish, like I can't believe she like has children. Duh!

BETH WASN`T COOL, BETH WAS SHOCKED. NO ONE EVER PUT HER IN HER PLACE WITH HER CRUDE REMARKS. KELLY DID HER A FAVOR NOT TELLING WHAT HAPPENED AT THE PARTY. BETH HAS A LOT TO LOSE NOW

Andy,
The housewives from the NY are a blast. I love Bethanny she is so REAL, I think Luann and Alex need to spend more time raising their children. I think Ramoms her husband and Simon are so full of themselves thats why they don't get along. And Kelly who is she anyway and where did she come from???

Team Bethenny. She handled that with class and Kelly just made herself look ridiculous, please please PLEASE don't bring her back next season!! That eye-darting, using like all the time, and that boring voice needs to go.

Bravo needs to have the husbands stand back and fade into the background and let the show be about the wives.

I'd like to cut out some of this drama and go back to seeing the women live normal lives. Bravo tried this crap with OC and after awhile all the fighting got to be very childish and it got old quick.

As for NJ, the jury is still out.

Andy,
Please ask kelly about her donations to Jill's charity?
Does she have a drug problem?

The show worked better without Kelly. I am not enjoying this season since the woman do not seem to be pals at all.
I will not watch the show if Kelly comes back.

you are delightful and so very handsome. I love to read your blogs and watch the reunion shows. Do not let any of these woman off the hook.

Who is Kelly anyway?... I've never even seen her prior to the show.

What is BRAVO doing?... Housewives of NJ???... Gimme a break!!... I saw the preview... They are all related to each other on the show... It won't even be an accurate reepresentation of real housewives of NJ. Someone slapped that cast together too quickly without thinking about it first!... Time to fire somebody in charge over at BRAVO's main Headquarters!

If it were me, I would have done the real housewives of DC, or Miami, or Dallas... Something, anything but New Jersey... That's essentially a lower class version of the NY housewives... What a waste of airtime! YUCK!

Results:

K vs B... Bethenny won by a long shot! Enough said!

Mario vs Jill... Jill won (Mario threw a fit b/c his plan to get back at Jill for Ramona losing the first tennis match was not working the way he had planned it out!... Hahaha!... GO Jill!!)

SILEX vs Mario & Ramona... SILEX all the way, baby!

Oh, & please, someone... anyone, explain to Kelly that she will not be returning to the show next season... She is a waste of sperm & egg... No wonder the ex-hubby left!

Andy,
LOVE RHNYC (ATL, OC) never miss an episode, but so far from my current RH experience, for I have no time for much while I juggle building my import and distribution company, recently started building my brand, driving my son up to 5 times a week to soccer, driving him to religion, waking up three times a week at 4am in order to make it back before the bus arrives w/my son for I have no means to afford a babysitter or atleast a bebbysitter is not my priority at this point in my life, also cooking a healthy and nutritious meal every night of the week (mon - sun), picking up after my husband and son, should I continue??? my list is a bit long...
I can say that my life was like that when living overseas, so the shows do make me laugh a bit as I go down memory lane and can relate w/some issues; but at the present time they don't.
I am surely team Bethany, and would never understand if Kelly would come back for another season, all that "I'm up here and you are down there" thing just doesent work for me or many other people... maybe if she goes back to highschool??? that could be a reality hahaha
Keep up the great shows!!!

Hello Andy,

Well, I must say I would be very surprised if Kelly shows up for the reunion. Frankly, I hope she doesn't. It is uncomfortable enough to watch her on the series. I truly mute the TV when she is on. I have a jar in my kitchen that's half full of nickles. My 13 year old granddaughter owes me a nickle every time she uses the word "like" out of context. Kelly's girls should do that to their mother. Their college funds would be secured. Please. Don't have her back for another season. What a waste of airtime.

Andy,

Which one of these ladies is the "housewife"? To me, that definition is one who cooks, cleans, does laundry, runs a household ... ALONE .. even when married! These women are another category of woman, but not "housewife". How about ... "The Real Divas of New York City"? They have nothing in common but a skewed view of reality that wealth provides. More power to them! Even so, I still watch faithfully as I am curiously entranced with their petty disagreements and scoffing outloud when one of them opens their mouths. Who says those things? E.g., Kelly: "I'm up here and you're down there." She really does think she's Madonna!

Andy - time to kick Kelly to the Curb! Just don't get it and I don't think I'm alone is the view of her.

Andy,

It is sad to see that their behavior is "real".

In regards to Simon, what a viewer turn-off. I am not interested in seeing him pontificate.

Why does Bravo choose to highlight him each and every week? Will he continue to be considered a highlighted housewife by himself, or is he and Alex halves and together they equal a whole housewife?

I think that their 15 minutes of fame has long past. It's time for a new cast.

Thank you

Team Bethenny!
Team Jill! and (I cannot believe I'm saying this)
Team Simon!

Hi Andy,

I would like to know if you would ever do something like,
have a makeover by the housewives of New York.As A mother of four I need one and would love to meet them in person.
Could you let me know if something like that would happen.
I am a mom of four and work very hard. I would love to live thier life for one day.
Lucy

Where can I buy my Team Bethanny t-shirt?

Having been raised in the south, it's refreshing to see how direct these women can be. Granted, it's sometimes VERY uncomfortble to watch but it's a wonderful observation of how behaviors differ based on locale and culture. I find myself seeming to be more uncomfortable about confrontations than the people I'm watching on TV.

I wish this show was on 24/7.

p.s. Bobby is such a gentleman!!!

Kelly is beautiful, but like the other NYC housewives she is nuts. How anyone can take sides here would require a willing suspension of disbelief! Bethenny has the mouth an disposition of a mobster, and Kelly has lost her cool because she doesn't know not to mess with the mob. This makes for a great episode, and I love to watch this show, but no one on this show is ever in the right.

Bethenny is pure class.
Kelly showed us IN ALL HER GLORY, what a crazy, lying, falsely busy claiming, eye darting, ruddy leather faced, toddler fashion wearing, crazed laughing, Soprano wannabe, Lady Elaine Fairchild looking, pretentious air kissing, name dropping wack job she really is.

Who did she think she was fooling , she's from Rockford, IL? She married an old man who dumped her for someone younger. In her world this is why she is so many notches above Bethenny??!!

Dear Andy,

Please make the season finale Reunion 2 hours instead of just 1! There are so many wonderful items from this phenomenol train wreck of a season to cover, 1 hour simply can't do it justice. Please, please, give the reunion special extra time!

Best regards,
Catherine

Bethenney is cool as ice! She is what New York is about!!

Andy,

Bethenny is the epitome of a NYC tough chick. You just don't get away with stuff easily when in the presence of someone like her. That woman is as New York as you can get.

So, a gal like Kelly should expect that kind of treatment if she acts so superficial and not to mention, quite mindless to people and circumstances around her! Being the age that she is, shouldn't she know NEVER to use that hand gesture to describe how much "higher" or "important" she is than someone else? No one should do that, even in anger!

If you want to portray yourself as being with class, you must act with class. That was very unclassy.

Bethenny vs. Kelly = winner Bethenny
Jill vs. Mario = winner Jill
Simon vs. Ramona = winner Simon

I've read some of the other comments, and I think it's the consensus that we all want to know where Mario's attitude came from? Wow. I think Jill is competitive and maybe a bit controlling (in her own life/family, but not necessarily in a bad way), so the fact that she wanted a good partner so she had a chance to win, what's the problem? He was tactless and rude in front of Bobby as well.

Bethenny has more class, is more down to earth and successful in my book, than Kelly could be any day of the week. Kelly made a fool of herself. Andy, please tell her to go away, and above all, tell her to quit treating her daughters the way she did when LuAnn visited. That was ridiculous. Apparently, Kelly didn't think so...she knows this stuff is on camera. Thank God LuAnn actually told her what she thought about that...something like, "quit being the manners police?" or something?

Kelly was a BAD choice...as if Ramona isn't wacky enough...Kelly thinks she's all that and a bagachips! LOL Curious to see if any "celebrity friends" of hers will watch and think the same thing!!

Take Kelly off the show - she lies and rambles on and on. Bethany is a class act as well as Jill. I used to wonder about Alex and Simon, but I think they are two of the best ones on the show - way above Ramona and Mario.......I do love the show but take Kelly off. She really adds nothing to the show but causes trouble.

PLEASE GET RID OF KELLY! She makes me cringe like nails on a chalk board. She doesn't add anything good to the show. I want to change the channel when she comes on. She acts as though she is so much better than the other women, but to me just comes across like an insecure, lonely person trying to portray something she is not.

Okay, I don't know where to start. I don't like this Kelly girl she doesn't have an oz. of class. She seems like she is on drugs or something. She needs to come down off her high horse and be on the level with everyone else where she belongs. She is no better than the rest of the housewives, but they are by far better than her.
Everytime she speaks she seems to name dropping what a turn off. PLEASE GET RID OF HER!
Now Ramona, Ramona, Okay, I get she doesn't like Simon and Alex but lets call a spade a spade. How does she sit there and not want to be associated with them for nude photos when her friend is an ex-playmate! She's a wack job. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Mario's behavior with Jill was uncalled for. Who is he to speak to her like that. What she does in her own time is her own business, regardless if she is working, shopping, etc. None of HIS business!

I can't believe that people are writing in saying that they are bored this season. You must not be watching the past two episodes, they are halarious!

Andy, Bravo, GET KELLY OFF THE SHOW. She's ridiculous and add's nothing. Love watching all the other gals, huge Bethenny Fan and loved watching her swollen Kelly in the bar scene last night. The TV community out here cannot stand Kelly. Go Bethenny go.

S.

Bravo needs team Bethenny T's for sure!!

I'm a little disapponted in all the bickering that went on last night. If this is the Real Housewives, how does Bethenny qualify? She's not married and does not have kids. As far as Kelly, she is overly pretentious, very cold and calculating. I thnink she is only on Real Housewives to be seen and to further herself. Before now, I never even heard of her. It is very unfortunate that Bravo decided to do a RH of New Jersey?? Are you kidding me? They definitely do not fit in and are pretty homely at best. Apparently can't offord to live in the city. HA!!

Go Bethenny! Kelly is a moron. When she said I'm up here and your down here I could have smacked her face. Does she think she is so much better than everybody else. I don't think so. I give props to Simon & Alex for calling out Ramona & her husband as hypercrits!

How DELICIOUS was RHONY last night? I am loving every second of this season.

The meeting with Kelly & Bethenny was an instant classic for me. That whole "Don't you know who I am?" manifesto crap is GOLDEN. Note to all reality tv participants: If you have to TELL us how famous you are, it just magnifies how unfamous you are.

Did anyone else notice that angelic quality surrounding Bethenny during the altercation? Not to sound like The (I-wish-I-was-a-Dutchess) Countess, but did Bravo slap a filter on the lens for those pans? There seriously seemed to be some kinda angelic "glow" around her. Bethenny looked beautiful, and calm and rich and I LOVED it. In contrast, Kelly sure looked like an over-tanned, frantic insecure mess. Oh and, who in the hell tosses on baby pink rubber rainboots and thinks "hey, these are HOT!". Kelly always looks like she got dressed in the dark during a fire drill. That bra-revealing getup she threw on before the charity meeting was also very tragic.

I started watching this show and had a blank slate for everyone. I expected to dislike SILEX but like that a lot. Down to earth, good partnership, pretty straightforward. Ramona is possibly the least reflective person of the core group. She just does not understand the difference between being "honest and no baloney" and being petty and hypocritical. Her cares about topless photos anyway? But frankly, next to Kelly, she pales.

Kelly was someone I thought I would love. However, her treatment of Bethenny was embarrassing for her. Not only is she cluelessly superior and holier than thou, she was cruel. Bethenny seems like a straight shooter, but also a direct person who would concede if called out and its warranted. Kelly simply has no self insight. You don't talk down to people the way she did. It was laughable that she calls people out who are actually calm and direct for behaviors that she exhibits in spades. Watching her Mean Girl attack on Bethenny was nut-nut. Her attitude was the worst - and worse than anything on RHOC.

After watching her, I would never buy a product from her or support her business, because I'm up here, and she's down there, or whatever her totem philosophy is.

Basically she is a projector.

Bethenny!!! She's real, she rocks and she's RIGHT!!!!

Kelly--she is superficial, she is a lunatic and she is clueless!!!

What the hell?? Don't they have drug testing at Bravo!!!

hhahahaha...Team Bethenny Baby!! Would love to find out who and why ANYONE would be on Team Kelly...or anyone who would admit it anyway!!!

Andy,

Can you confirm that Kelly did in fact attend and graduate from Columbia?

I believe Bravo should sell "Team Bethenney" shirts. Quite childish but could potentially make a mint. Bethenny keep staying true to you; Kelly seems to be a half a bubble off.

Oh,Where to begin. Bethenny (my kindrid spirit) is indeed a grounded albeit smart mouthed strong women which I find to be the quintescential perfect 21st century women. She knows where she falls in the scheme of the universe and strives for excellence in her field. She is a loyal friend while still healing a broken spirit from a damaging past. She knows who she is, calls a spade a spade and holds no one else accountable for her happiness or unhappiness. She doesn't judge in the way one may judge to decide if one is worthy of affection but judges in a way to get a snick/giggle. The psychopathy of Kelly in my opinion is that of a narcisistic personality disorder with the inability to properly process or hear feedback she gets from others. In other words she hears what she wants to hear and/or manipulates it to suit how she wants it to actually be. Also, she absolutely believes the world revolves around her and that she IS a celebrity and even more so by collecting celebrity friends. For example she completely disrespected the Countess when she said, "I envited LuAnn because I though it would be fun for HER", not that we would have fun or it would be a fun night for us, but she implied, for LuAnne to be with ME (Kelly) it would be fun. Also, at the fashion show with Ramona, Kelly says, "...it would be like me being jealous of...uh...you". That is to say, you (Ramona) are NO ONE important, therefore why would I have any reason to be jealous of you. Also, people who are chronically late all the time may subconsciously want to bolster their ego by making the "Grand" entrance for all to see, it's a show a runway a spectacle. It is also clear that she has serious insecurity issues. Having to make her date meet her at the same bar, hoping that Bethenny would see her have a date, tells us that she need Bethenny to validate her. Also, notice her recounting details of the conversation with Bethenny, completely incorrect! At her apartment with LuAnn and Sam, forcing her kids into the matching sweaters in the heat and making them say please and thank you over and over, at their age if they don't say please and thank you WITHOUT prompting well, you did something wrong awhile ago. Kelly was clearly shaken when Bethenny was completely in control and not phased by Kelly's attempt to profess her superior status and celebrity. With therapy Kelly will do just fine until then she will struggle with her inablility to connect with anyone on any level other than the superficial manipulative shallow level that she functions on now. Look she had that architect friend that she new nothing about nor cared, all that mattered was that he was important and a celebrity and HER friend. Thank you for listening. I apologize for any mispellings or improper grammar, I had to write this fast during work...my bad.

Why does Bravo feel that they need to show us endless catfights to entertain us? I used to love watching both Real Housewives series because it gave a peek into other people's daily lives. Lives that were interesting. Now it seems like an endless series of Jerry Springer episodes.

Last night was a confirmation on my opinion of Kelly. Wack Job! She needs help, seriously. She can't speak intelligently and she writes? She doesn't like to try clothes on, and she's a model? Is anything normal about her? Can't wait to see her fall even flatter on her face. What a disaster she is. Team Bethenny! Love you, you're a riot!

I love the show and appreciate these women (and their families) allowing cameras to follow them around. For those who are so critical and don't like the show, there are other things to watch . . . Kelly is a puzzle to me--why was she added to the show? She seems clueless about many things but her behavior towards Bethenny is completely crazy, honestly she has issues and she lies. Since everything is on tape, it's funny to me that she gets caught retelling events, comments, etc. that didn't happen. At first I really watched and listened without bias, I had no idea who she was, but now that she has shown her true, awful colors I really don't like her. I am in Bethenny's camp all the way! Bethenny is so honest, real and funny-I wish her continued great success! By the way, where is Jill's blog?? She hasn't blogged on the last two episodes. And what happened to nice guy Mario? Has he been told by producers to act like a jerk?

Is Kelly for real? She is psycho!!! LEAVE THE SHOW KELLY. WE DON"T LIKE YOU. YOU BORE US! If you're so private, why would you want to be on a TV show??? Probably because your psycho!!

Andy,
Yawn.......Kelly is so boring that I have to switch to another channel during her scenes, even the trumped up fight with B. I hope bravo does not sign her for another season. I do not feel that she adds much to the show.
I think we need more of the other ladies and nothing of Kelly.

Mario must be on crack...what was up with him?

I find it ironic that Jill is accusing Mario of trying to stack the tennis match against her by blowing her away with an amazing tennis partner, isn't that exactly what she is planning on doing to him? What a hipocryte!! She is a control freak. However, I thought that it was extremely rude of Mario to attack Jill like that in front of her husband. Mario and Ramona are turning into one another.

Team Bethenny! Kelly is so phony. She was a supermodel? Never heard of her.

If Ramona and her husband were happy people then they wouldn't worry so much about everyone else. Why would grown adults allow Ramona and her husband to speak to them in such a way? They irritate with their in-your-face personalities. Why would they say that Jill doesn't do anything? They obviously are jealous of her lifestyle. Jill seems to be a very loving and hands on mother. Do Ramona and Mario remember that they have a daughter? Why would Ramona put down Luanne for sending her daughter to boarding school? Her daughter wanted to go. What a gift. Ramona's daughter might as well be away. She is away in her parents minds/lives.

Andy, can someone please tell Jill that she needs to find a stylist. Aretha Franklin called and wants her outfit back that Jill wore at the PageSix mag party.

unbelievable -- frenemies to the nth degree -- had to reverse and replay and watch scenes again, open-mouthed at the egos -- how can people so self-conscious be so oblivious?

The show is called Real Housewives. Why does Simon have a blog?

Andy,
Lots of arguing tonight. Whose side am I on? In Kelly vs. Bethenny, it's Bethenny (calm down Kelly, I say). In Silex vs. Ramona and Mario, it's Silex for sure, in Jill vs. Mario, it's Jill (Mario and Ramona confirmed tonight that they're hypocrites and pretty nutty).
Those are my votes.

OK, when you do the reunion show I'm sure the "Rudeness Of Kelly" (as I like to call tonight's episode) will be a hot topic. I really hope you let Kelly have it for thinking she is superior to ALL. Because you know that we are here and she is there . . .
And, by the way, what was up with Ramona's husband dying to play tennis with Jill? I mean, really. I thought he was gonna have a fit in the sandbox crying how Jill won't set a date. Wow. Simon was looking good compared to him.

go bethenny,kelly is such a train wreck,who thinks she is the next top model,she looks old. maybe 20 yrs ago she was someone,please kelly you need wake up, you are not above NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During the fight, Kelly suggested Bethenny "misbehaved" at her house during Ginny Hilfiger's party. When confronted by Bethenny to say what she did that was inappropriate, Kelly just changed the subject. It seems to me that Bethenny has her reasons to be upset with Kelly, and Kelly is just being annoying. But now I'm curious: What was Kelly trying to imply??? Did Bethenny do anything or she was just making things up to make the girl look bad????

Just saw the first 25 minutes of RHONY. Kelly is a piece of work, she just berated Bethanney for talking about her to strangers and she went on her date and talked about Bethanny and the conversation. what a hypocrite. and she goes on and on about being above it and how childish Bethanny is being she she's the one who wouldn't let it go. She just proved Bethanny's point..."all a question of upbringing" Well, I'm sure Bethanny doesn't have an arrest record unlike high and mighty Kelly.

Andy - please stop the madness! Kelley gave four different explanations of her 'conversation' with Bethany. All you need to do is watch the actual video to see what the 'truthyness' is. Kelley is not comfortable on this show and is not able to confront her own fibs. She is in with the wrong group. Also....the show is disintegrating into just fighting - the way OC did. None
of these women are friends or work together on real charities. Give it a break and let them go.

Oh, I'm so on Bethanie's side. Kelly is so dumb, I don't understand how she got a job writing to a magazine. Bethanie can be rough, but she is real babe.

After reading your bio, it took me a while to figure out what SVP meant...Then I went "OH! Senior Veep?!"

Then you must be the person to go to...

I love my RHWONYC and would like to ask you to add a feature to online clips--subtitles or closed captioning.

The only reason I'm asking is because I'm deaf and my BF really have no interest in watching or hearing about this show...Instead of asking him to listen to the clips during "American Idol" and tell me what the RHW are saying, could you add this feature??

Thanks! And you are so right about tonight's show. Thank you for not putting the K vs B fight at the very end of the episode, hahaha.

-ben

In this instance, I have to agree with Bethenny, plus she has better recall when she retells the confrontation than Kelly. Mario acts like a little sissy kid when he agrues with Jill. Jill is my favorite,then Alex, Bethany, LuAnn and talk about shallow, Ramona and Kelly are both worthless and take shallow to a whole new level.

So basically Kelly is contradicting by telling Ramona to not worry about Simon and just be friendly and walk off... but yet she makes it a point to let Bethenny know they weren't friends. Then she doesn't even care how Bethenny feels because she's all like "oh really.. ok" all sarcastically. Then says all of this was like high school, but yet acts like a high schooler! So why are you so contradicting Kelly? Please grow up and work on your vocabulary so you can act your age.

I thought Kelly was berzerk. She made no sense, she was eratic. It seems she set up a meeting, rudely showed up late "Too bad", she says and then couldn't get a cohesive thought out. Bethenny didn't have to say any of the stuff she did at the meeting but Kelly just seemed mentally or emotionally off balance.

I think they are all full of themselves, out of touch w/ the real world and their charity works smacks of trying to look like they really are making some kind of contribution to the world when in reality they are all about houses, shopping, spending and being seen in the RIGHT places with the RIGHT people.

When their lives are said and done, what, if anything, will they have left behind that will be of real value. Will there be a person anywhere whose life they have really touched, made better or to which they have made a measurable contribution for no other reason than to help? I'm talking about a contribution that really costs them something.... NOT MONEY. In truth, they're all pretty pitiful. If I could have their money but also had to live their kind of life, NO WAY. Always thinking of oneself would be boring. Giving to others is the most exciting way to live and I truly hope they experience it some day.

Hi Andy.

Tonights episode was must see. Truly entertaining.

Kelly vs. Bettheny. Team Bettheny. She rocks. Maybe Kelly isn't so boring after all. Please ask her at the reunion what that gigantic horse is doing in her living room.

Mario and Ramona vs. Jill. Team Jill. Jill should play tennis with the other housewives. Nobody want's to see Mario play. Is he mad Simon has a blog?

Any Bobby. For god's sake what is not to love. Would love to see more of him, if you need another househusband on the show.

And the countess Luann. Glad she is showing her class. Liking her more every show.

Simon and Alex, usually fun to observe, a bit boring this episode. Because Bettheny, Jill and Luann are so loveable, they can't compare to Silex's antics.

Will we ever get to see the unedited versions of the reunion shows?

Kelly is the rudest of the Housewives cast. While all of them can be rude, Kelly is the worst and Bethenny is the least rude. No only is Kelly rude, she's not the brightest bulb in the pack. If she graduated from Columbia, I have to ask myself what she did for her grades or did she major is basket weaving. If she thinks she's teaching Bethenny proper protocol, then maybe she should have shown some class and proper protocol in her behavior at the charity meeting. She doesn't lend her name to anything. Perhaps she's afraid people will notice its the same name scratched on service station bathroom walls all around the NYC area.

Bethenney and Kelly DON'T run in the same social circles and yet Kelly should have kept her mouth shut for anyone knows that cornering a rat only serves to make it meaner. Bethenney won't take this lying down. These women like nothing better than to talk among themselves to stir up support rather than to speak directly to attempt to solve the problem directly- at least Simon and Kelly have tried that approach even if unsuccessful.

The only "time-out" that needs to occur is this program. And to think you've added New Jersey? Andy! You should know better!

Kelly is a LOSER an needs to get a real life an quit trying to act like she is so important "Who is she"? LOL I bet she is feeling soooo stupid!!

Kelly vs. Bethanny....winner Bethanny.
Ramona vs. Simon....winner Simon.
Mario vs. Jill...winner Jill.

This Kelly, well what can I say. I don't know who she is or what she does but girl needs a reality check. You are down here and I am up here? Cute.

Why are Ramona and Mario obsessed with Simon and Alex? You know what they try too hard so what, it's annoying at times but it's not a crime. Talk about trying too hard, seems to me it's Ramona and Mario who are putting on a act for the cameras. Did you see Ramona tell Mario her resume? I guess this was the first time he heard she went to fashion school.

I got so mad when Mario got in Jill's face like that. Respect people's space! If I was Bobby....
If he's such a tennis pro why does he care about playing Jill? What's he trying to prove?

CONGRAULATIONS TO "HOUSEWIFES OF NEW JERSEY" NOW YOU WILL SEE THE POLLS DROP ON THE "NEW YORK BITCHES" THEY ARE NOTHING BUT FAKE!!!! GLAD TO HAVE JERSEY ON TV.. I AM A JERSEY GIRL... AND ITALIAN TO BOOT!!!! THEY ARE THE REAL DEAL!!!!!

Team Bethenny!

I find Kelly to be fake - for her to say Bethenny needed a time out was a little like she is 'mommy' and everyone else does what she wants.

Sorry, not buying it. IMHO, Kelly is childish and needs to feel important. She was rude to Ramona on one of the earlier episdoes and she just comes across as if her time/attention is more important than anyone else.

Hey Andy,

Where do I start? I think I will start with Kelly comming to a charity meeting late with no intention of helping one single bit. Why would anyone go to a charity meeting (first of all late), then be unwilling to help or add any input, and then to top it off say, "well I only have a few more minutes because I'm really busy".

So when Bethany goes off on you for wasting their time with your pre madonna self, get over it!!

Don't you think that asking someone to meet you with the sole intent on telling them you think your better than them (which you are NOT) is very highschool? I really hope you watched the episode and saw what a ridiculous twit you looked like.

another great show! team BETHENNY here! my husband wants to know what is wrong with Kellamity's face??

kelly is a hot mess trainwreck headline waiting to happen.

Last week in her blog, Tamra called out Kelly on her inconsistencies and I'm SO GLAD! I love how Ramona tries to explain to her how Bethenny was raised and Kelly says "I don't care!" and goes on to rant about how it's no excuse. Ten minutes later she says to her date that Bethenney's attitude was "a matter of upbringing." Just before the whole thing went down, Kelly was talking about how she is not into being confrontational... How exactly would she describe that scene? And to add icing on the cake, she lurked around to tell Bethenny to calm down while she's the one who was breathless and flustered!!!!!

Hey Andy!

As always, I'm on Team Bethenney! She is the most genuine woman on the show, and I think Kelly made herself look like a fool. She invites Bethenny to this sit down and then she can't even compose the words to explain herself. Her entire side of the conversation was pointless and stupid. Kelly is one of the most phony and shallow people I have seen. She's a waste of space.

First of all Kelly shouldn't be asked back to this show. She is not a housewife and she's a huge snobby fake. Bethenny has more class.

Not that I'm big fan of Alex and husband but I'm glad he finally called Ramona and her husband a hypocrite.

No wonder Kelly and Ramona seem to get along.

Bethenny handled herselft like a real woman. Kelly has serious issues in the end shes the one that looked rude.

I am taking Bethany's side!
I thought Kelly seemed level headed until she confronted Bethany. Then the truth came out. She is a self centered drama queen. I saw the preview and thought they must have taken her out of context until I saw her truly say that Bethany is below her. Come on lady this is so highschool and you(kelly) are creating it. If you were as sure of yourself as you appear to be you would not let a little comment from Bethany bother you so much. It is so unattaractive! And I must mention you had a hot date with a hot man and you looked very unapealing talking about Bethany. It does not become you. I am not a fan.

I'm watching it now. A few thoughts that I wanted to go ahead and share while I'm watching and thinking about it:
1. Kelly tells everyone how much she hates confrontation, ... so she calls up Bethenny to meet her so she can confront her? Hmm...
2. Kelly tells her friend that Bethenny reminded her that they'd met several times, but she says "I don't remember her at all, so what does that tell you?" ... yet during the sit-down with Bethenny, she totally remembered that one particular night that Bethenny and a date came to a party at her house ... ?
3. Kelly says later on that she feels sorry for Bethenny, b/c this whole thing has no impact on her life whatsoever ... so why is she talking about it to her date all that night, then later to Ramona, then later to LuAnn, and later still to the camera?
That was ridiculous. I'm totally with Bethenny on this one. Kelly's nuts. And extremely unimpressive.

How sad that Kelly thinks that she is so much better than everyone. Bethenny is great and I love that she's up front with people.

You know I don't know why I watch this show, I don't really like any of the people on it, I guess that it is like an train wreck, you just can't help but stop to look. Both Kelly and Bethany are acting like children, Ramona and her husband are asses, get over the tennis already! Jill is a prima donna, but she is actually the most likeable to me. The Countess needs to get over herself, she is extremely rude pointing to anyone and everyone how other people have no manners. Then we have Alex and Simon, they are oh so pretentious, if the Hamptons is so beneath them then they should stay away, but if they did then they wouldn't be able to climb the social ladder. They act like they are somehow above everyone else because why, they don't have TVs?, your house looks like a hellhole, a TV might be an improvement, maybe they could watch themselves and see the way they come across. And don't get me started on those kids.

Kelly looked and acted like the epitomy of "trash"! She had it backwards...it is SHE (kelly) that is waaaaaay down there, NOT Betthenny. WTG B !!!

Go Bethenny! She didn't make any lies up unlike Kelly who is full of them...If someone has to lie to get where they are...well then, they will soon fall...the lies will eventually crumble...

Time for Kelly to leave the show...she has become nothing but a distraction.

The only thing sophomoric and high school about this situation is Kelly herself. Her criteria for calling someone "amazing" is that they worship her, and when Bethenny confronted Kelly on her own terms, Kelly couldn't deal with Bethenny because Kelly can't deal with herself. She is living a lie. What gives?

I am definitely Team Bethenny. Kelly was just mean. There are no other words. I am at a loss...

I love Bethenny..I do not think she was in the wrong at all, Im not a blogger what so ever but I so flabbergasted by the episode it makes my stomach hurt how awesome kelly thinks she is and she should be ashamed of how she acted to Bethenny!!!!!!!!

I just want to say Bethenny is an awesome, smart, thoughtful lady. Kelly is a total idiot and no one is impressed with her. She could not form one coherent sentence with her arguement with Bethenny! I'm glad Bethenny said everything I would say to that idiot Kelly!

I think Bethenny won, hands down. It was frankly scary the way Kelly waited on Bethenny downstairs in the bar. (Are you starting to realize that adding Kelly to the show was a mistake?)

I HATE KELLY!!!

Andy,
I,too have sworn off the housewives series.
The bickering like school children from the wives of OC to New York became boring.
I am tired of the reality shows where people are mean-spirted, insecure and a bit trampy.
If I wanted to watch back stabbing, immaturity and cruelty I would watch a horror movie.
Sorry, I like you but hate the shows.

Hi Andy,

My question is to Silex (Simon&Alex). The show is called Real Housewives; why does Simon get more airtime than the ladies? Why can't Alex speak for herself with out looking to Simon for the answers?
