Once again, Bethenny’s day begins with celebrity gossip hitting too close to home.
This was sad. Sure, she’s on a reality TV show, she opened herself up to be blogged about, judged, ridiculed, and speculated about. But this isn’t plastic surgery or what she’s wearing, this is a very new pregnancy, and it’s upsetting that people like Jason and his parents have to put up with it. I thought he handled the news remarkably well. I like the way he communicates with her, very honest and mature.
LuAnn and Sonja are rubbing their shoes in the dirt (you heard me) when they get a call from Jill about the pregnancy rumors. She’s in an extra gross mood. “Send me an Evite. It’s not really a fancy Evite, I can see you didn’t put too much thought into it, but it’s okay. Arite, whatever. I need GOSSIP! She shouldn’t be talking about it yet, I want her to keep this private. I don’t know why you would invite Bethenny since she called you a snake, I just want to keep my circle tight.” LuAnn was also in rare form. They’re talking about a possible pregnancy and she still doesn’t understand why Bethenny called her a snake. Maybe because YOU’RE A SNAKE.
I thought it was very nice behavior on Sonja’s part throughout the entire talkfest. Liking her more and more.
Bethenny calling Alex about being pregnant was fun to watch. She seemed genuinely happy for her friend, and I always like those moments. I’m not sure what Jill meant with that email, but it’s too late to be Bethenny’s friend again. I thought that was obvious after the Gotham party. Bethenny nonchalantly says something along the lines of “If you see her tonight, tell her not to contact me like that again, our friendship is supposed to be done.” I thought it was nice of Alex to volunteer to deliver this message, but she definitely didn’t do it in the spirit it was meant.
Alex has had issues with Jill from the beginning, and when she tries to address them it never quite works out. I think Alex saw this as a way to catch Jill off guard and get even. It had way more to do with Alex than Bethenny. It’s almost comical how it plays out. The awkward introduction, the rash, the fact that no one was listening. I don’t like Jill, but that must have been very embarrassing. Something one-on-one and less blunt would have been a more accurate message. At least Alex owns up to what happened and makes no excuses for it.
Hands down, the funniest part of the episode was Kelly’s reaction after the message. She says to Jill and LuAnn, “I told Alex that the messenger always gets killed. I said the messenger always gets killed. You know. That’s when I was kind of making a joke. That’s basically what happens in literature, the messenger always gets killed.” Yes, Kelly. You are so profound and so intellectual. It’s such a funny joke!
Kelly Killoren Bensimon is a world class idiot.
Random Thoughts:
- Ramona questioning the doctor! OH MY… there are no words.
- Jill thinks she’s “the bigger and better person” while she’s making fun of Ramona’s pictures? Kelly’s not the only delusional one.
- What’s with the Housewives and psychics?
- Jill and Kelly have the combined manners of a polar bear, so LuAnn should have expected that behavior at her book event.
