The Real Housewives of New York City Reunion shot video for 9 exhausting hours. The majority of the footage shot did not make it to the 2 part, 3 hour Reunion Show.
One of those moments we did not see on the Reunion Show was Alex collapsing in relief, I assume, that the nightmare of dealing with the 4 Shrieking Monkeys known as the Gang of Brunettes, also known as Cindy Barshop, Krazy Kelly Bensimon, Jealous Jill Zarin and Classless Countess LouAnn, was over.
Of the Gang of Brunette housewives only one is an actual wife, that being Jill Zarin.
The male population of the planet is not big enough to find a mate for the sourpuss Barshop woman, so she had to couple with a turkey baster in order to become a mother.
I do not know if the reason Alex fainted on the couch was because Jill Zarin heartfeltedly apologized for being such a mean-spirited, bullying, heartless bitch to her, followed by the hug we see in the picture.
The Interwebs are full or rumors that a major shakeup is in the works for the Real Housewives of New York City. Andy Cohen made it real clear on Facebook and Twitter that he has heard, loud and clear, the viewer's disgust with the low-level of discourse on display by Cindy, Jill, Kelly and to a lesser degree, LouAnn.
Neil Patrick Harris told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live to dump the entire cast. That seems a bit drastic to me. The consensus on the Interwebs seems to be that definitely Cindy, Jill and Kelly need to go.
And that Kelly is definitely intellectually challenged. And mentally ill. I know I was very surprised that Bravo brought Kelly back after the entire St. John's mental meltdown spectacle. It seemed as if Bravo was exploiting mental illness for its entertainment value. Trouble is, viewer's do not find Kelly's mental illness entertaining, they find it troubling.
Supposedly filming for the 5th season of RHONY is to begin Labor Day weekend. Methinks somehow Bethenny Frankel, now that she actually is a New York housewife, needs to come back, combined with Ramona, Sonja and Alex, plus a couple other real housewives, who pass a psych test, and I think this failing Housewife franchise might recover its formerly high viewer numbers.
But, if Bravo brings back Cindy, Kelly and Jill, the viewers will indicate they have had enough. By not watching. I know I want to see, or hear, no more of those three.
I think it is Jill who soured the franchise. Last season with her insane vendetta against Bethenny. This season it was Alex and Ramona who Jill targeted.
Simply put, Jill is creepy. A very creepy mean girl consumed by jealousy. Think about who Jill really is. She is married to a shopkeeper. Jill does not own her own business, or have a job. Her husband, Bobby, may be a nice guy, but he seems clueless as to what an Uber Bitch he is married to. Defending her on St. Johns, talking to Simon about his non-existent mean Tweeting.
Meanwhile, Ramona is married to Mario. Mario is a good looking guy. Combining Mario's DNA with Ramona got them Avery. Combining Jill's DNA with Bobby got them Ally. Ramona has 5 businesses. She is a successful, talented woman. And much better looking than Jill.
Ramona can rock a bikini. Jill can not. Ramona is older than Jill. Yet in much better shape. Ramona is more popular with viewers than Jill. Which is yet one more thing Jill is jealous about. In her core Ramona is a nice person. In her core Jill is a bitter shrew.
Jill is also jealous of Alex. Alex is also better looking than Jill. And younger. And happily married. And talented. With a job, or two. In her core, Alex is a nice person. Very articulate. And sensitive. And, unlike Jill, not a bitch.
Jill Zarin is also very sensitive, but only as it pertains to her own hypersensitive feelings. Jill Zarin seems unable to empathize with others in a real way that involves being sensitive to the feelings of others.
Jill is consumed anger over how much the viewers have come to despise her once they figured out what a horrible human she is.
Some of the stunts Jill Zarin has pulled have been astonishing. Jill penned a bad advice book with her equally vile mother, Gloria, and her sister. The book tanked, sales-wise. Jill then made fake positive reviews on Amazon, using a fake name, Susann Saunders. Jill is so sloppy these comments were traced back to her computer's IP address.
Jill later had her hapless husband buy thousands of copies of her book so as to make it look like the anemic sales figures were not anemic sales figures. Meanwhile Bethenny had several best sellers, fueling Jill's seething jealousy.
To counter all the accurate comments on Jill's Facebook fan page, Twitter and who knows where else, Jill somehow hired minions to delete accurate comments from Facebook and post false positive comments.
On Jill's Bravo Blog there are two types of comments. Those that seem real, on target and legitimate and those that seem like they come from a boilerplate template, all with a "We love you Jill" theme.
No one in their right mind could possibly love Jill Zarin, reprehensible mean bullying lying rat that she is.
If Andy Cohen and Bravo want to have a large number of viewers for the opening of Season 5 of RHONY, let it be known that the firing of Jill, Kelly and Cindy will be shown.
If Andy Cohen and Bravo want their New York City Housewive franchise to totally tank, bring back Cindy, Kelly and Jill, for one more round of disgusting the viewers.
If Andy Cohen really heard loud and clear what the viewers where saying, what he heard.
Loud and Clear.
Was.
Get rid of Cindy, Kelly and Jill.
Thank you. I feel better now.

The Real Housewives of New York City Grows Insufferable Along With Countess LuAnn's Chic, C'est La Vie Video
Of the Bravo Housewive franchises, the New York City girls used to be my favorite. Til this latest season.
I'm not sure what all has gone all wrong. The loss of Bethenny? Adding Cindy Barshop? Keep crazy Kelly Bensimon? The insufferable hypocrisy of LuAnn, Jill and Kelly? Combo of all?
The fact that Countess LuAnn is totally tone deaf became totally clear last week when she sang a horrible song horribly to Jill, at Jill's birthday party.
Previews of new week's lame drama seemed largely to revolve around the fact that only Kelly and Jill showed up to be in LuAnn's video for her Chic, C'est La Vi song. LuAnn had invited all the girls.
After seeing the video methinks Ramona, Alex, Sonja and Cindy made a smart choice.
There were several things on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New York City that are examples of what's gone badly, sadly wrong.
One was watching Cindy try and handle one of her twins in a restaurant with her parents. Cindy seems to be totally devoid of any mothering instincts. It was as if she had never held her own kid before. Cindy had to call an employee to come take care of the baby. That was pathetic.
Cindy's bizarre Vajazzle Party, or whatever it was called, was totally creepy bizarre. A product launch party for a home hair removal kit, with people at the party having the product demonstrated on them. Including Simon.
I don't remember if it was at the Vajazzle Party or the Ramona/Sonja birthday party where Simon's simple request to Jill to have a private meeting soon had crazy Kelly and busybody LuAnn turning Simon into evil dastardly Simon the cyber bully mean tweeter.
Jill and Kelly are the meanest bullies on the show. And the biggest hypocrites. I don't think we have ever seen Simon being even remotely mean or bullying.
Then there was crazy Kelly's breakfast meeting with Alex. Kelly, this season, has mostly been able to keep under wraps the insanity we saw her display last year on Scary Island.
This meeting with Alex was very reminiscent of that meeting with Bethenny, when Kelly was the new girl on the show, where we learned that Kelly was up here, while Bethenny was down there and we also learned that Kelly was mentally ill.
Watching Alex try to have a sane conversation with insane Kelly was both painful to watch and strangely entertaining.
Also painful to watch and strangely entertaining is Countess LuAnn's Chic, C'est La Vie Video, which you can subject yourself to below...

The Real Housewives Of New York City Was Boring Again This Week Til Sonja Forgot Her Underwear
The last episode of The Real Housewives of New York City started off so boring I was thinking it was maybe time to bail.
But, then I remembered this was going to be the episode where Sonja's derriere gets exposed.
Again.
The boring stuff before Sonja's unfortunate exposure included a long look at Cindy's abode. And the kid's she bred by in vitro fertilization.
The guy who provided the material that was used to do the fertilizing showed up. Cindy's brother does not like the guy.
The sperm donor seemed sort of creepy to me. And then Cindy tells us that they had been an off and on again couple. And that they were on at the time she got pregnant, and then off two months later.
So, why were they using the in vitro method to make a baby and not the old-fashioned way?
Did Jill come to visit Cindy? I think I remember some Jill comments about nannies and the house being a mess.
For some reason Cindy asked Jill to go to the dentist with her. That seemed weird. And then Jill made it even weirder when she started acting like a co-dentist. Jill informed us that she and her mother and sister have the gift of having doctor's skills with no license.
Jill has really made it clear she has no clue why the fans have turned on her. Bad Jill was on display this episode.
And then we kept cutting to Sonja's, where she was fussing over her costume for her Masquerade party. That was all so totally boring. Except for the strange part where Sonja explains that she has friends who will call her from Europe, asking if someone could stay with her. We learned this when she explained who the houseboy was she was ordering to make her tea.
Something is very wrong with Sonja this year.
Sonja's Masquerade party was held in a little place called The Vault. The housewives and husbands arrived, fawning over how great they looked. Alex and Simon were Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. Not the one married to Jennifer Lopez. Alex looked good with black hair.
And then Jill arrived and proceeded to bad mouth Sonja's bad parties, the small room, the small number of guests, the bad food.
And then suddenly Sonja realized she'd forgotten a key part of her costume. Her bloomers. Or whatever she called them. She learned this while Jill was next to her. Jill had a real good view and proceeded to inform everyone that Sonja had an enormous bruise on her butt.
Sonja was very loud about her missing underwear. Letting everyone know she was not fully dressed.
Next up was Ramona's product launch party for her Pinot Grigio line. The Countess asked Ramona one technical question after another about Ramona's wine. Til Ramona could take it no longer. The Countess, at times, really seems like she has something wrong with her.
At some point Jennifer, who's wedding we attended during the first episode, told Ramona about some bad Jill behavior at Jennifer's wedding where Jill grilled Jennifer about why she invited Alex and Simon. And about how well she knew Ramona.
Ramona took extreme umbrage. And of course, after fueled by enough Pinot, confronted Jill, who denied it all. Jill never answers a direct question. It's very annoying. Jill then left in a huff, and ran into Jennifer, totally distorting what had just happened. Then Jill went back into Ramona's party and lied about the talk she'd just had with Jennifer.
Next we see Jill crying with LuAnn, with the Countess tackily adding fuel to the fire.
I think the simple explanation for Jill, in addition to being a narcissist, is that she is a pathological liar. They are the worst of the liar breed. Because they believe their lies while they are doing their lying. And then they get mad at you when you catch them in a lie, which usually just causes more lying.
I really can not stand Cindy.

The Real Housewives of New York City: Countess Luann de Lesseps Splits From Count with Jill & Bethenny
Last week The Real Housewives of New York City's pompous Countess, Luann, took extreme umbrage at Ramona when Ramona made a remark about the Countess being married to a much older man. Luann was quite upset at this, insisting the Old Count was not an Old Man.And now, apparently, the Count has split from Luann, via an email, telling the Native American, former model, Countess by marriage, that he'd moved on to an Ethiopian woman in Geneva.
A close friend told Page Six of the New York Post that, "Luann was blindsided. She was devastated, they have basically lived apart for many years, he lives in Europe and comes and goes as he pleases, but she never thought this would happen. It has been very rough for her and the children [Victoria and Noel], but she's taking the high road and will remain friends with him. She has no intention of making it bitter or becoming angry. She's just trying to come to terms with the separation and impending divorce. She feels this is the ultimate test for her to handle this with dignity and grace."
In April, Luann is coming out with a book, "Class with the Countess." Luann has told friends that no matter what she will always be the countess.
I beg to differ. Sounds, to me, like she's been de-throned.
A spokesman for Countess Luann said, "It is obviously a very difficult time for the Countess and Count, but they plan to remain friends and their primary focus will be to do what is best for their two children."
Meanwhile, Bethenny and Jill have been on a lot of TV interview talk show venues, including a very funny one with Chelsea on E!. In that interview Chelsea asks something like, "What's up with that pasty ugly couple?" referring to Simon & Alex, now commonly referred to as Silex. What follows that question is some pretty funny stuff. This Chelsea interview has not been YouTubed yet, but you can watch it by going here.
Bethenny and Jill are interviewed on another show that did get YouTubed, that being TV Guide Broadband. They are not quite as brutal about Silex on this one. And the new girl, Kelly, is talked about.Kelly is beginning to rival Silex as the most reviled of the people on The Real Housewives of New York City. I'd have to say Kelly is worse. There is very little amusement factor with Kelly, while I think Silex know they are being over the top ridiculous and are milking it. Somewhat. There are moments when it is obvious that Silex are being clueless about their cluelessness, though.
But, with Kelly, I don't think she has the slightest clue how stupid and obnoxious she comes across. Well, she likely does now, unless that stupidity problem is worse than I thought, because, by now, she has watched herself on the show and maybe she has been appalled and embarrassed. Maybe.
Below is the TV Guide YouTube video with Bethenny and Jill......
