Kim Zolciak Evicted & Replaced On The Real Housewives Of New York By Porsha Stewart With Big Poppa Lee Najjar Arrested

That is a picture of Lee Najjar you are looking at.

Lee Najjar is the former "Big Poppa" of The Real Housewives of New York City's Kim Zolciak.

I do not know if this is a mug shot of Mr. Najjar, or not. I do know that Kim's ex was arrested, in Atlanta, for failing to appear in court when he ignored a July 5 court date after he'd been charged with a $75,000 fine for violating a city ordinance that had something to do with not properly maintaining the storm water system at one of his homes.

Najjar was eventually released from custody.

Meanwhile "Big Poppa's" ex, Kim Z does end up getting evicted from the house she leased with her latest husband, Kroy Biermann. We saw this coming on the first episode of the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City.

What did not see a hint of, on the first episode, was Kim's mid-season eviction The Real Housewives of New York City.

Apparently Mrs. Biermann became difficult during filming, annoying the other housewives, but not in an amusing good drama for TV sort of way.

We saw a good example of Kim being annoying to a fellow housewife when we saw how rude she was to Kandi while Kandi gave Kim a tour of her new home.

Worse than being a bit of a bitch, more often than not Kim did not show up at all, likely due to the stress of being evicted whilst hugely pregnant with her latest reproduction.

So, part way through filming the latest season of RHONY, Bravo pulled the plug on Kim Zolciak and replaced her with a new housewife named Porsha Stewart.

I do not know if Porsha Stewart is any relation to Rod.

The Real Housewives of New York City's Star Countess LuAnn Delesseps Has Become a Jewelry Hawker

The final episode of the latest season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City was called Lost Footage.

Lost Footage seems a misnomer to me, since the footage was clearly never lost. It would be more accurate to call the episode Previously Unaired Footage.

The Previously Unaired Footage turned out to be fairly amusing. Creepy Aviva Drescher got the comeuppance she should have gotten during the reunion regarding her bad behavior in demanding yet one more Ramona apology for allegedly kicking Aviva's juvenile dad out of Ramona's charity event.

And then there was the Previously Unaired Footage of Countess LuAnn. The scene with LuAnn and her two kids eating pizza was sort of both sad and amusing. It was like LuAnn did not like spending time with her kids, rushing her boy to eat his piece of pizza, then taking the pizza away from him. The boy was not happy. I thought he was about to smack his mom.

And then there was the awkward scene with LuAnn meeting with some guy she had engaged to help her start up a business. Only LuAnn did not seem to have the slightest clue about what she wanted, except in the most generalized way.

Somehow since that scene was filmed LuAnn has managed to get some sort of business up and running. LuAnn is not selling travel accessories like she indicated she was interested in doing in the scene from the Previously Unaired Footage. Unless LuAnn's idea of travel accessories is jewelry.

LuAnn has a website where she sells her wares. The domain name is shopluann. I don't know why it is I find that funny. That is a screencap from LuAnn's Website you see above.

In the About Us section of LuAnn's website I learned a few surprising tidbits...

Countess LuAnn Delesseps, the star of Bravo’s #1 hit show The Real Housewives of New York City, has a great eye for fashion. Having worked as a model in Europe and marrying into the French aristocracy, she understands what it takes to look your best. Luann also learned early on that looking amazingly stylish can be affordable and guilt free. She knows first-hand that class is a state of mind, not a birthright. 

LuAnn is the star of RHONY? And The Real Housewives of New York City is Bravo's #1 hit show? I had no idea. France has an aristocracy? Have the French been informed of this?

The Real Housewives of New York City's Aviva Drescher is one of the Worst Train Wrecks in Reality TV History

That self described Barbie doll Pinata you are looking at on the left is Aviva Drescher. Aviva Drescher is one of the housewives on Bravo's Real Housewives of New York City. Aviva Drescher is one of the new housewives, replacing old housewives like Kelly Bensimon and Jill Zarin.

Aviva Drescher has been fascinating to watch. I do not recollect watching a worse train wreck anywhere else on Reality TV.

In the latest 4 episodes Aviva Drescher has managed to do what it took Jill Zarin several seasons to do, that being have the fans totally turn on her because of what a vile, selfish, mean-spirited, rude, foul-tempered, self-centered, spoiled neurotic human being she turned out to be, after initial very positive viewer reaction.

The first paragraph of Aviva's Bravo bio....

Aviva Drescher is the first and only New York City born and bred "Housewife" in the history of the show. At 5'10" with brains to match her beauty, this part-time socialite and full-time mother will let nothing hold her back. When Aviva was just six years-old, she was in a tragic farm accident, which resulted in the amputation of her left leg. Aviva has never let this tragedy define who she is.

The reality we have seen, as this season of RHONY has unfolded, is that Aviva makes her childhood accident, and the resultant limb loss, the focus of attention, in various ways, almost constantly.

A couple weeks ago, after Aviva saw, via comments to her Bravo blog, that the viewers were disgusted with her irrational behavior upon arrival at St. Barths, and during her short stay there, a short stay where Aviva managed to ruin what had been a fun vacation for the other housewives, Aviva blogged a sort of modified mea culpa, short of apologizing or actually recognizing that she realized it was her behavior, no one elses, which had created all the problems.

And now, after Monday night's latest episode, an episode where Aviva is her most demented yet, scolding Ramona, in a restaurant, with a delusional, nonsensical, insane sounding, bullying rant, Aviva, in her latest blog post, titled Sheer Brutality, has now gone on the offensive (in both meanings of that word) against Ramona in a totally irrational, wrong-headed rant that has already riled freshly riled viewers.

I saw Aviva's latest post shortly after she posted it. Within a very short time there were already dozens of comments, virtually all of them totally critical of Aviva. Last week Aviva's The Human Pinata blog post generated 596 comments. I've never seen such a reaction to any of the various Bravo TV show's blogs.

Next Monday is the final episode of this latest season of RHONY, followed by the reunion shows. Will Aviva wise up by then and present a believable mea culpa? Or will she be in Kelly Bensimon mode and do no behavior owning, and instead just reinforce the negative image she has already projected?

The majority of viewers making comments in various venues are pretty much begging Bravo to remove Aviva from the Real Housewives of New York City.

That is not my reaction.

I find watching a train wreck who is totally clueless about what a mess she is, to be very interesting. And sort of instructive. I have known an Aviva type, or two, in my life. Sonja's choice was mine in that type situation, as in dump the toxic person as soon as the toxicity became apparent.

The Real Housewives of New York City Season 5 Premiere Free of Jill Zarin

Season 4 of The Real Housewives of New York City started off with Jill Zarin being obnoxious, which she continued to be, all season long, til, mercifully, Bravo gave Jill, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop the boot.

Bravo also gave Alex McCord the boot. I think that was a mistake.

Last night we met the new housewives, Heather Thomson, a  girdle type wear designer who talks a lot, Carole Radziwill, an author who talks smart and Aviva Drescher, who also talks smart and is a one-legged mother of 4 with a history with Sonja.

I did not take an instant dislike to any of the new housewives, unlike when Kelly Bensimon showed up, or, even worse, Cindy Barshop.

I have learned, via Phaedra Parks and Brandi Glanville, that a new housewife can quickly become a favorite.

Countess LuAnn seems to be working hard to make the new housewives her new Gang of Four in her ongoing Hatfields & McCoys vendetta against Ramona. I don't think this is going to work out. I don't think LuAnn will be able to recruit Carole Radziwill.

Carole Radziwill is very amusing and very articulate on her Bravo Blog.

On Heather's Bravo Blog it is like she did not watch the episode before she wrote the blog. On the blog she's still going on about Mario's supposed rudeness. Did Heather not notice that she did constantly interrupt and sort of misread the interchanges, that she then snarkily commented on in her confessionals?

The previews for the rest of Season 5 look like we are in for some major catfighting, with the new girl's pledge to each other not to be mean girls, thrown out the window.

I wonder if Jill Zarin watched last night? Kelly Bensimon has likely forgotten she was ever on this show.

BRAVO Makes It Official: Alex McCord Is Leaving The Real Housewives of New York City

Alex said when she found out if she was going to be on the 5th Season of The Real Housewives of New York City, or not, she'd let her fans know, when she knew.

Alex stayed true to her word, which seems to be her basic nature. Earlier today Alex Tweeted:

Nothing was decided until today, but as of tonight a decision has been reached. @SimonvanKempen & I are leaving #RHONY, sadly but amicably.

A fan set up a Facebook page titled Alex McCord MUST STAY on RHONYC! where you can verbalize to BRAVO what you think about their decision. You may have to log into Facebook to view the page. Or create a Facebook account. Which in my humble opinion really is not worth the bother.

BRAVO has also made it official that fan unfavorites Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop have also gotten the boot.

Methinks BRAVO must be perfectly aware that booting Alex is not going to get the good reaction that booting Jill, Kelly and Cindy will get. So BRAVO tosses the Shrill Jill and Clueless Kelly the bone of also firing Alex, knowing that BRAVO will later succumb to fan pressure and re-install Alex on the show.

I'm sure that is what will happen. But, having said that, I must admit, I am seldom right about such things.

Have Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Cindy Barshop & Alex McCord Been Fired From The Real Housewives of New York City?

Kelly Bensimon, Alex McCord & Jill Zarin

It has been clearly obvious to the majority of viewers for two seasons now that The Real Housewives of New York City had a couple serious problems.

Primarily those problems were Kelly Bensimon and Jill Zarin. Zarin's on screen antics regarding Bethenny Frankel were repulsive to a lot of viewers.

And it was completely clear, to most, that something is seriously wrong, mental health wise, with Kelly Bensimon. And not in an entertaining to watch, but in a disturbing to watch, way.

Jill Zarin's neurotic need to constantly pick fights and hold grudges eventually wore down most viewer's tolerance. This is just not a nice person. It's not just the constant snarkiness, the constant self-righteousness, the overarching narcissim, it's just that this is just not the type of person most of us would tolerate having in our lives. So, why would we want to watch her on our TV screens?

Various websites are reporting that Bravo has decided to dump Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon.

And Alex McCord.

I think it is just a given, with no need to mention it, that Cindy Barshop is toast.

But? Alex McCord?

It won't be the same show without Alex McCord. Getting rid of Jill and clueless Kelly greatly improves the show's dynamic, likely causing the discourse to be much more elevated. Alex was never a problem. I know some viewers did not care for Alex and Simon, but the majority grew to like the pair.

Just read the comments to the housewives blogs on the RHONY website and you can easily tell Alex is popular with the viewers, in an authentic way. Then check out the comments to Jill and Kelly's blogs. It's like they pay people to make boilerplate "you are so wonderful" type comments.

As of September 15 Alex McCord Tweeted that as far as she knows she is still on The Real Housewives of New York City....

I can not imagine what rationale Bravo would have for dumping Alex. Then again, by what rationale did they add Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop to the cast? And by what rationale did Bravo keep the repugnant Zarin after her repugnant mistreatment of fan favorite Bethenny Frankel?

It's all very perplexing.

Note to Bravo and Andy Cohen. If you fire Alex McCord, I won't be watching the New York City Housewives anymore.

UPDATE: From Facebook, a Thursday, September 15, denial from Alex McCord regarding being "fired" from the Real Housewives of New York City. Along with some Facebook comments from fans of Alex...

Medina Mount Jarman Alex and Simon, I do hope you return. If not, I am sure there are other things in the works for you. LuAnne and Jill are very tiring to watch and their mean girls act is old. :)

Linda Lieberman Andy C could've just taken a vote - you WOULD be in -Jill-out

Dixie Leigh Hope we'll still see you this season. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE BLONDES. ALL OF THEM. RAMONA, SONJA, AND ALEX!

Suzanne Mourer Alex, I hope that you are still on. Jill was so mean, and I'm glad that she is off. Here's to many more years to come for you!

Merilyn Zallan Ulrich I was hoping that Jill, the Countess and Kelly were history...oh well. I can still hope. I also hope that you and Simon come back as the show won't be worth watching without the two of you.

Kellie Corrigan didn't understand the addition of Cindy.....the more they add the farther away from fun the show gets....LuAnn is a snob and Kelly is just plain impossible to watch. Maybe you & Simon shosuld do your own show...??

Vicki Troglen Haynes I just wrote a friend telling her that i would NO LONGER watch the show without you and Simon. I saw that news on an online magazine that you, Jill and Kelly had been fired. Fire them with Lu-Ann man and leave you alone please. Thanks so much Alex!!!!!

Laurel Stinnett If you and Simon go, then my days of watching ANY Bravo program will be over. I love the two of you. You are honest and forthright and GENUINELY kind and compassionate. You are not fakers like those pathetic aging harpies Jill, Kelly, and LuAnn. I agree that you should get your own show if Bravo fires you.

Penny White Roberts Bloom You have to stay...you and Simon make it more interesting especially the blondes are the most real.

Robin Goetzinger Alex I really hate to see you go. I want that fake red headed two faced mouth of a trucker Jill gone, crazy jelly beans for brains Kelly gone, classless COUNTLESS so called women/man who thinks she/he can sing LuLu gone and Cindy who can't be bothered with taking care of her children, so she pushes them off onto someone else. GONE GONE GONE GONE all of them.

Melissa Durbin It is all over the place that you are not going to be back on the show .I hope it's not true but if it is just see it as a chance to do something else . I will miss you so much on RHONY .I think they made a mistake in letting you go.

Maria Annette Sprouse Fore Alex..the RHNY will not be the same without you and your family, when I read the "supposed" firing of you I was quite upset, Love you on the show and it will not be the same without you, hope Bravo realizes that..........:)

Another Boring Episode of The Real Housewives of New York City With Kelly Having Her First Martini

Whilst watching the latest episode of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City, waiting for something interesting to happen, I thought to myself that maybe it is time to put this housewife franchise to sleep.

Watching Ramona and Sonja shop for costumes was not interesting. Or funny. Not even the Sonja look-alike drag queen made it funny.

And then getting to watch LuAnn let her daughter, Victoria, drive around a parking lot in some sort of driver's training exercise. Not interesting or funny.

Jill taking a train to daughter Ally's school so Jill could grill Ally about her school courses and goals. Not interesting or funny. Well, Ally telling Jill her goal was to be a newspaper sex advice columnist was slightly amusing. Jill and Ally going clothes shopping was not interesting or funny.

LuAnn and Kelly meeting for cocktails, where we learn Kelly has never had a cocktail and that Kelly has now totally bonded with LuAnn, who Kelly looks to for love-life guidance in the hope that Kelly can find her own short Frog who looks like a David Schwimmer mutant was sort of funny and amusing, due to being just plain, flat out, weird.

Sonja's Burlesque Party was also weird. There were a few interesting or funny moments. Like Sonja's Burlesque act. Jill repeating Sonja's song lines to ultra-creepy Cindy, with Cindy then making rude comments, was sort of funny. Except I have trouble getting past how creepy Cindy is.

Simon and Jill having a "talk" with Bobby sitting nearby, so as to prevent any fisticuffs, was not interesting or funny. The whole Simon mean tweeting and cyber bullying deal is so annoying, what with Jill being the actual mean tweeter and bully.

LuAnn's session with her music producer was painful. As was Jill arriving and quickly asserting her expertise as a song producer. This was not interesting, amusing or funny. It was just pathetic.

However, the video below, a parody of LuAnn's Money Can't Buy You Class song, called Money Will Buy You a Glass, is amusing and funny. Particularly the parts with Ramona turtle timing...

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 with Overbearing, Haughty, Delusional LuAnn

In the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New York City I almost bailed during the first 10 minutes.

We were treated to Alex and Simon doing awkward pre-bedroom workout moves while cutting to another location where Ramona was preparing a lair for Mario by spreading rose petals all over.

Then Simon was laying on the floor with a big package on top of him, which Alex opened to find several really weird, I don't know how to describe it, maybe kinky bedroom costumes?

Which Alex proceeded to model.

While Alex was doing that, Ramona had Mario's shirt off and was lathering him up with some full body lubricant. I think it was when Ramona starting oiling up Mario's feet I started reaching for the off button.

But then we went to commercial.

After the commercial break the bedroom antics were over. At least that is how I choose to remember it.

I was very grateful we were not treated to scenes of LuAnn and boyfriend Jacque's bedroom homecoming. LuAnn's little French boyfriend seems real creepy to me. So, does LuAnn, so I guess they are a good match.

Cindy tried to show her brother and, I think it was an employee, photos of the Morocco trip. When Cindy got to the camel pics she said the camel ride was her favorite part of the trip. The employee then asked why there were no pics of Cindy on a camel. Cindy tried to find one and then realized the dastardly Sonja had been taking the pictures.

We then cut to Sonja who tells us revenge is a dish best served cold. Some revenge, I thought to myself.

Sonja's bankruptcy took up a lot of the talking. All the girls were sensitive, for the most part, except for Jill who conducted a lengthy inquisition into Sonja's finances.

Jill had all the girls together, except for Kelly, who got invited and didn't show, and Ramona who did not get invited, to be a focus group for her new line of what I think were exercise outfits. I'm not sure.

Alex was offput regarding Jill's explanation as to why she did not invite Ramona. Alex then met up with Ramona to tell her about the latest bad Jill behavior.

I'm sure other stuff happened, but it was all mostly boring, so I've forgotten. About 50 minutes in, this latest RHONY episode turned less boring, with LuAnn and Alex meeting in a restaurant to talk.

Only LuAnn does not allow Alex to talk. Alex had several good adjectives to describe LuAnn. The only one I remember is haughty. I don't know if I've ever known anyone like LuAnn. She's such a twisted hypocrite. And seem very ill-mannered for an etiquette expert.

On the Watch What Happens Live that followed RHONY the question was which team are you on? Alex or LuAnn? 75% were on Alex's team.

The Real Housewives of New York City Go To Morocco for Blondes vs. Brunettes Feuding

This season of The Real Housewives of New York City has been a bit of a bore. Particularly compared to last season.

The 3 episodes covering the girls trip to Morocco were rumored to finally amp up the drama and entertainment.

Well, I will say that Morocco Part 1 was the most entertaining episode this season. But that's only because the previous episodes have been so weak.

You know you're a bit starved for drama when way too much time is spent on the annoying Cindy's complaint that the blondes had stolen her clothes hangers.

When Cindy reported the crime to the brunettes she amped up the accusation by claiming her clothes had been tossed in the hanger theft.

It was really a big mistake to add Cindy to the RHONY cast. She is like a big energy suck.

LuAnn seems to grow evermore insufferable. She has made herself the girl's guide to all things Moroccan. Previously we heard LuAnn brag she'd been to Morocco many times. On her Bravo blog Alex said the actual fact is that LuAnn had been to Morocco once, years ago.

Which makes sense, because LuAnn thought Morocco was a city and compared it to Paris. Not realizing that it is Marrakesh that is a city in Morocco. LuAnn seems both real pretentious and real dumb to me.

Kelly has shown no signs of crazy so far in Morocco. I thought it was amusing when Kelly went on and on, telling the brunettes what a mess Sonja's house is. Which had LuAnn coming to the absent Sonja's defense.

Apparently it was right before the Morocco trip that Sonja filed for bankruptcy. Which may partly explain some of her behavior. Like being totally paranoid that her small amount of luggage might be stolen.

Ramona and Alex are pretty much my favorites. Why would Ramona bring so much stuff with her to Morocco? A case full of jewelry? With stands for the jewelry?

Jill's ex gay husband, Brad, showing up in Morocco, with Jill having told him she would be there, with Jill saying Brad had a home in Morocco, which she later made a big deal over the home turning into Brad having a room at a Bed & Breakfast, was a bit much.

Also a bit much was Brad's birthday party. I am not a fan of snakes. Seeing a guy kiss a venomous snake is not entertaining to me. I did enjoy seeing a snake wrapped around the reptilian Jill's head, though.

At one point we heard Sonja ask menopausal Ramona if she had any feminine hygiene products. Ramona mis-heard and showed Sonja her high heels. Next week somehow Sonja's female woes come into play with a camel ride.

That should make for some riveting TV viewing.

The Real Housewives of New York City Go To Morocco For 3 Weeks

That is Jill Zarin in Morocco in the picture. It looks as if Jill may have a snake wrapped around her head. Jill Zarin is a bit of a snake, so this would seem to be appropriate headwear for her.

This week's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City was another strange one.

Cindy took the non-blondes to some Spa/Hotel somewhere that took 6 hours to get to, due to, apparently, someone reading a Google map wrong.

While the non-blondes were at the spa banging drums, the blondes went in for some spa treatment of their own. Alex got her face scraped, Sonja had her cellulite issues addressed, Ramona found out that botox would fix her neck waddle.

At another point non-blonde Kelly went to blonde Sonja's to offer much needed advice while Sonja was having a photo shoot for her Toaster Oven cookbook.

Sonja has turned really weird. Apparently Sonja can no longer afford underwear. While posing for the photographer at one point Sonja went totally Sharon Stone, shocking Kelly, who had never seen that part of another woman's anatomy before.

LuAnn has turned totally insufferable. Does LuAnn watch an episode, like the most recent, and realize what an overbearing, inappropriate bitch she was being to Ramona, lecturing Ramona about Ramona's supposed bad behavior towards Jill?

We viewers had seen, clearly, who was the wrong one in that scenario.

Jill.

LuAnn, at the point in time she was lecturing Ramona, had not seen what really happened.

LuAnn continued her bad behavior at Jill's anti-bullying charity, confronting Ramona again, making the mistake of doing so in front of Alex who, as always, accurately assesses what is going on and correctly says LuAnn is yet one more thug in a cocktail dress.

Jill is so un-self aware that she has not an inkling how ironic it is for bully Jill to be having anything to do with an anti-bullying charity.

I am amazed at how much less annoying Kelly has become. And is almost a sympathetic character. Telling LuAnn that she'd been physically abused. By who?  The ex-husband? Or that guy who Kelly beat up, who had her arrested?

This episode started with LuAnn and Sonja at lunch, where LuAnn tells her of the Bravo plan, I mean, LuAnn's plan, for all the girls to go off on a trip together. After pretending the location was not already known, throwing out various destinations, til LuAnn revealed it would be Morocco where this season's major drama will play out.

One by one the girls came onboard the Moroccan train, with Kelly being the last holdout.

At the end of the episode, the screen goes to black, with white type telling us, "For the Next Three Weeks the Girls are in Morocco." Or something like that.

We then see a series of previews that clearly show the blondes and the non-blondes are in civil war mode. It appears LuAnn acts insufferable, a lot of alcohol is consumed, Ramona breaks down in sobbing tears, LuAnn looks in horror at a snake going in a guy's mouth, the girls go on a camel caravan.

Will the Three Week Moroccan Debacle be the equal, entertainment-wise, of last season's Three Week Scary Island Debacle? I suspect not.

Will Sonja have the common sense to wear underwear in a conservative North African country? I hope so.

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 Needs to Get Rid of Cindy & Get Sonja Underwear

The latest was another strange episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.

That is either Johann or Francoise with mother Alex. If I had to guess I'd say it was Francoise who got a piano for his birthday. Francoise seemed to care less.

Then in her talking head comments, Alex would be saying things like how thrilled the kid was. Then we'd cut back to the kid not being thrilled.

It was very odd.

But not as odd as Sonja's toaster oven cooking lesson. Sonja's toaster oven looked antique, which the Countess pointed out. Why would anyone think it is easier to cook in a toaster oven than a real oven? Made no sense to me.

Sonja had Cindy come to her house so Sonja could educate Sonja regarding multiple bad Cindy behaviors, including, adding to the list, dancing with Sonja's houseboy upon arrival. Cindy lied to Sonja, telling Sonja that she had not told Kelly that Sonja was having Ramona come to her toaster oven demo.

To make clear Cindy was lying Bravo showed us a clip of Cindy telling Kelly what Cindy denies telling.

Now, back to Sonja before we get to Kelly. Sonja went to some baseball thing, involving NYC firemen who were in a calendar, with Sonja throwing the first pitch at a baseball game.

Was Sonja told to come dressed as some sort of cheap hooker? As you can see in the picture above, Sonja's outfit had her looking slightly preggers.

And then we were treated to a view of Sonja's backside when the wind blew her skirt up and kept it up.

This seemed to excite some of the firemen, even more so when Sonja had them take off half their clothes. One of the firemen told Sonja after the photo shoot they should exchange information.

That is a sophisticated way of saying I want to have your phone number. This is how Kim Zolciak snagged her latest baby daddy, Kroy Biermann, on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Kelly displayed a little crazy Kellyness this episode, bringing up Scary Island again. Being irrational about Ramona.

Kelly bugs me bad.

But not as bad as she used to. Now, after enough exposure to Kelly, I've learned a lot of what makes her annoying is because the poor girl is so damn dumb.

Kelly and Ramona had lunch together, with Sonja. That went well. Except for Kelly saying stuff that had Ramona's eyes bulging a bit.

Jill got back from Australia and met up with some of the housewives to give them Aussie trinkets. Jill's talking head told us she was no longer going to gossip. About 5 seconds later Jill was back gossiping.

Later, in several drawn out segments, Jill went to Alex's house where they had lunch and seemed to settle their differences, with Jill actually seeming to act like a decent human.

We'll see how long Jill being decent lasts.

I really can not stand Cindy. This is the best they could find in all of New York City?

In the previews for next week we saw Sonja's bare backside again. Rivetting television.

The Real Housewives Of New York City Is Currently Boring Without Bethenny

That is Ramona and her pinot grigio with her arm around the Bethenny replacement, Cindy Barshop, at Cindy's birthday party, that was not a birthday party, at some horse farm at what is, apparently, known as the downscale zone of the Hamptons on Long Island.

This latest episode of The Real Housewives of New York City may have been one of the most boring in Housewive Franchise history.

I'm starting to think the loss of Bethenny Frankel has left a HUGE hole that the remaining housewives, and the new one, can't fill.

Speaking of the new housewife, Cindy, who is not married and so is not a wife, along with Countess Luann and Kelly, who also have no husbands, I really do not like Cindy.

In all of New York City the RHONY producers could not do better than this?

I'm starting to wonder if the reason the New York girls had their show's premiere postponed was because it was realized how boring it was. So, they went back over their footage to see if there was some more material to work with.

For months Bravo milked "Thug in a Cocktail Dress" in promos. The "Thug in a Cocktail Dress" really turned out to be much ado about little.

This week it was Sonja falling off a horse that got the promo blitz. And that turned out to be nothing. We should have figured, after seeing Sonja's ample derriere exposed in the first episode's preview of the coming season, that Sonja had ample padding, on her backside, to easily overcome a hard landing on it.

Luann had a cocktail party at which Ramona provided a little drama by grilling Luann about leaving her kids in the Hamptons while she goes to NYC. To work on her music career. When Luann talks about working on her music career it seems even funnier than when Kim Zolciak does it.

Due to it being so boring I lose track of the sequence of events. At one point Sonja meets Cindy downtown for lunch. This turns into way too much about Cindy's problem with her teeth veneers. Which somehow had Cindy thinking it was okay to bail on the lunch she had invited Sonja to. But not before Sonja told Cindy she was planning on inviting Ramona to Sonja's toaster oven cooking lessons with Kelly. Which had Cindy advising against this.

Then at Luann's cocktail party Cindy got Kelly aside and warned her not to bring her kids to Sonja's toaster oven cooking lesson. This had Kelly scared as to what the threat could possibly be. This had Cindy swearing Kelly to secrecy, after which she informed her about Sonja's evil Ramona plan.

Despite promising discretion, Kelly then later confronted Sonja, on the beach, in the Hamptons, about the Ramona Intervention. Sonja tried to reason with Kelly, which we've learned is not possible, which soon had Kelly laying on the sand making sand angels.

There was an extremely boring segment at Luann's house in Southampton, with her daughter. Then boyfriend, Jacque, showed up where he got weird on the floor, talking to the dog. Jacque sort of creeps me out. He looks to be half the size of Luann. On Watch What Happens Live Luann said Jacque gets told a lot he looks like David Schwimmer and Adrian Brody. Can David and Adrian sue for such slander?

We saw a segment with Luann taking her son, Noel, to a skate shop, on Long Island, where Noel hawked the skateboards he has designed. I know Luann has been a bit cash strapped waiting for her singing career to take off, but putting the young teenager to work seemed a bit much. Noel has a website selling his skateboards. He calls his business Fancy Fool. He seems like a good kid.

Cindy made a big deal about a party at the aforementioned horse farm not being a birthday party, for her, because she never has birthday parties. But it turned out to be a big, weird birthday party. It was funny when Ramona arrived and demanded her pinot grigio. Before noon. And then Ramona wanted to ride a horse, but they would not allow her to take the reigns, instead leading Ramona around like a little drunk kid on a pony.

Cindy had a freak out because dip was on the buffet table. She's really weird.

Ramona then tried to confront Cindy's brother, Howie, about some remark he made about a cigar and Ramona's dead friend, Jeff. I sort of get Ramona's point. But can that woman carry a grudge? And always choose the wrong time to address it.

Jill returns from Australia in next week's episode. RHONY better pick up. There are battle lines drawn now. Cindy has royally pissed off Sonja. Crazy Kelly can return at any time. Ramona reliably provides amusement. I am somewhat optimistic that this week's episode was just a lull before a big crazy storm.

That is sort of hinted at the Housewive's blogs on the Bravo website. I've not seen so much sniping at each other on the blogs before. A lot of defensive spinning of the "facts." Reading the blogs was more entertaining than watching the show.

Sonja Morgan Goes From Fan Favorite to Not on The Real Housewives of New York City

This week's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City was the episode in which Alex uttered her now famous "Thug in a Cocktail Dress" phrase.

I don't think I heard Alex say this. I must have somehow missed it.

But, I did not miss the thug in a cocktail dress.

The thug, Sonja Morgan, managed, in 2 episodes of Season 4 of RHONY, to go from being a fan favorite to a Jill Zarin level of unpopularity.

Alex is being a bit intense, so far. She is not letting anything go.

On the Watch What Happens Live episode that followed the Housewives, this week, Sonja was the guest, along with David Arquette. The poll this week asked who's side you were on, Alex or Sonja. Alex won in a landslide with something like 78% on her side. About the same number Ramona got last week when the question was who's team you were on, Team Jill or Team Ramona.

On WWHL Sonja was a bit confusing trying to spin the whole Gay Marriage debacle. At one point she claimed she'd agreed to be the Grand Marshall and speaker prior to becoming one of the Housewives. Then the Gay Marriage people wanted her to be the Grand Marshall because she'd become a Gay Icon due to being on RHONY.

Sonja was being way too full of herself. And then when the thug moment happened, it was Sonja who started it. Alex was articulately explaining why she was upset with Sonja. Sonja was unable to articulate her point of view, so she did what those who are in the wrong usually do, she got loud and aggressive and insulting and kicked Alex out of her house.

I think the portrait that Sonja's boyfriend, Brian Farrell, painted of her really captured Sonja's essence.

Last week in the preview clip of this season of RHONY we saw Sonja's bare derrierre. It was not a flattering angle.

I wondered to myself if Sonja had greatly annoyed the producers of the show, with that butt shot being a hint that Sonja makes an ass of herself this season.

So far Kelly has been the best behaved of the Housewives. Surely Kelly can't keep crazy Kelly locked up for an entire season. I hope not.

I forgot to mention, Alex is selling those Thug in a Cocktail Dress t-shirts that you saw above. Speaking of Alex and clothes. Alex and Simon really need someone to intervene regarding the clothes they choose to wear. Particularly Simon.

The Premiere of Season 4 of The Real Housewives of New York City with New Housewife Cindy Barshop

I did not realize Season 4 of the Real Housewives of New York City started up on Thursday, April 7.

But, my DVR did.

The New York City Housewives are my favorite of the Bravo Housewives franchises. With Beverly Hills a close second.

The New York City girls bring the best drama, often courtesy of Kelly Bensimon. This year Kelly's intro tagline is "I'm living the American Dream one mistake at a time."

That's pretty funny. I have a terrible feeling that Kelly is going to grow on me this season and become likable.

Of course Jill Zarin has learned from her mistakes, realizing why fans started hating her, has now grown. But, bad Jill came quickly out to play in the first episode, snarking on Ramona and Alex at a wedding.

The new housewife, replacing Bethenny Frankel, is Cindy Barshop. The first episode and the previews of the season gave some indication that Cindy is going to bring some good drama.

Cindy is a baby mama of twins. She is in her 40s, with no baby daddy, acquiring the reproductions via in vitro fertilization. Of course Jill, upon meeting Cindy, felt she needed to pry into Cindy's private baby business.

I just realized, Cindy is yet one more "housewife" who is not a wife.

We went out to dinner with LuAnn's French boyfriend and Sonia and her boyfriend, I think the name was Brian. Brian is some sort of artist.

The dinner dialogue amongst the 4 seemed somehow somewhat creepy to me.

I think maybe Sonia is not going to go over quite as well as she did in her first season with the housewives.

It appeared, in the preview of the season, that Alex's new found opinionatedness wears thin on some of the housewives' nerves. Like LuAnn.

No clue yet what Alex does that has Sonia ordering her out of her house, with Alex commenting that Sonia is a thug in a cocktail dress.

Alex and Simon now work at home, in the same room. Simon quit his job managing a hotel. Alex is now a model. Which made for some unkind commenting from the other girls. Like Kelly.

At some point in this season the housewives go to the Middle East, I think to Dubai. The previews showed them on camels with one of the camels getting overly frisky. There were some scenes of Kelly acting somewhat crazy, but not to the crazy level of last season's mental breakdown.

So, I am in for the duration.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: NeNe Terrorizes Kim On Bus Tour From Hell

The 3rd Season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta started with NeNe screaming like a Mad Banshee at Dwight at a party. Totally inappropriate behavior.

We are nearing the end of Season 3 and on the latest episode of RHOA NeNe was back in full Moose on a Rampage mode.

Except for a few moments spent with Phaedra and a few moments spent with Cynthia and her supposed husband to be, Peter, mixed in with a little Sheree, most of this episode was spent on Kim and Kandi's Bus Tour.

Kim is getting on every one's nerves. The constant need to smoke, the constant screaming for Sweetie, just the constant Kim apparently is very nerve wearing.

And then for some unfathomable reason Kim invited NeNe to join the Bus Gang in Orlando, to watch Kim perform before a packed arena, I mean strip mall bar, and then ride with the gang to Miami.

Kandi knew it was not going to go well having NeNe on board. Particularly after Sweetie managed to connect a laptop to NeNe's little "news" segment where NeNe used Kim to get her interviewee to open up by asking if Kim, at 32, was too old to be a pop star. And what the interviewee thought of Kim's Tardy for the Party song.

Kim took umbrage at NeNe mentioning her in this manner in her interview. But, the initial appearance of NeNe went fairly well in Orlando. NeNe went to the show. Made snide remarks to the camera. Was fairly civil to Kim. And drank a lot of wine.

After getting drunk, that night, NeNe made some disparaging remarks directed towards Kim, but Kim did not take umbrage. Directly.

And then, the next morning, back on the bus, on the way to Miami. I don't know what set if off, but soon NeNe was spewing all sorts of mean vitriol at Kim, belittling Kim's easily belittled "singing career." Among other things. NeNe even spouted out that Kim treated Sweetie like a slave. Sweetie took umbrage at that remark.

Kim snapped back a few times, which only made NeNe louder and more aggressive. Mostly Kim was in a defensive posture with a look of terror on her face, like you see in the above screenshot.

Finally NeNe went totally ballistic and lunged at Kim, which caused Kandi and the manager, I think his name is Don Juan, to restrain NeNe.

Kandi's sorta of bemused disgust at it all is sort of amusing to watch.

Another thing I learned on the bus is us White Folk often go about barefoot. This apparently is a well known fact. Which I type, as I sit here barefooted.

I don't remember any Phaedra gems of wisdom this episode. I do remember Phaedra's baby throwing up on Sheree. I think the baby watches the show.

And then there is Peter. Run Cynthia. Run fast. Don't marry this jerk. You invest a fortune in his restaurant. It starts to fail. He closes it without telling you. And then, when you are justifiably a bit upset at your misfortune, Peter tells you he no longer will tell you anything, because you get upset. Did I already say this guy is a jerk?

I don't get how a nice gal like Cynthia hooked up with that fuzzy gray bearded geezer.

NeNe was on the episode of Watch What Happens Live that followed the latest episode of RHOA. The woman has no self awareness. Seems not in the slightest embarrassed. And continues to demonize that easy target of Kim. Apparently the reunion show was filmed last week, where Kim and NeNe went at it some more and was the first they'd seen each other since the Battle on the Bus and the follow up Battle in Miami, which we saw a glimpse of in the previews for next week.

Is next week the last episode of the season? I don't know, for sure, but I am guessing it is, because The Real Housewives of New York City starts up real soon, with Sonja Morgan now bankrupt and morphed into being a thug in a cocktail dress.

And no Bethenny Frankel. And they have kept the obviously mentally ill Kelly Bensimon as one of the housewives. Who isn't married.

Delivering a Message to Jill Zarin

If I remember right at some point during the recently completed Season 3 of The Real Housewives of New York City we heard Jill Zarin say she uses Google Alerts. I assume, ego-maniacal narcissist that she is, Jill Zarin has a Google Alert for her name.

So, I'm sure Jill will get a Google Alert about this particular blogging, what with it mentioning Jill Zarin repeatedly.

I got the picture of Jill Zarin from her Facebook profile. It appears to be a picture taken before Jill Zarin became one of Reality TV's most hated villains. The villainous version of Jill Zarin sports ridiculous hair extensions and racoon-like eye makeup. And the villain version of Jill Zarin somehow grew some extra chins that hang down in side views of her scary mug.

Jill Zarin has had all sorts of trouble with her Facebook and Twitter pages. As in a lot of people letting Jill know what a mean, toxic bad girl they think she is. Jill Zarin tries to counter the flood of critical comments with fake comments singing Jill Zarin's praises.

Jill Zarin has been caught writing fake positive reviews, on Amazon, in a scandal known as Amazon-gate, about the failed attempt by Jill Zarin, her sister Lisa and their bizarrely twisted mother, Gloria Kamen, to get readers to buy an advice book written by these women who are in dire need of advice, called Secrets of a Jewish Mother. Also known, by some, as Delusions of a Yenta Bitch.

Despite having claimed to have learned some sort of lesson from seeing her bad behavior on her TV screen, Jill Zarin is reported to be doing her mean girl stuff to Alex McCord and Bethenny Frankel.

Alex had the gall to point out to Jill Zarin that Jill Zarin's behavior was not acceptable. This became the incident that turned Jill Zarin vicious to Alex.

Jill Zarin has supposedly hired Kim Kardashian's PR people to try and rehabilitate Jill Zarin's ruined reputation.

It's not working.

Here's my free advice to Jill Zarin.

Alex McCord is not toxic. You are. You need to call Alex and apologize.

You need to drop your "we are not friends" shtick. When Ramona tried to talk to you after your rude intrusion in St. Johns, you said to Ramona, "I thought we were friends. I see now we aren't." This is very offputting and you need to stop with that particular verbiage.

When people speak to you, listen. Do not talk over them. Aren't you at all embarrassed when you see yourself doing that?

Tone down acting so overly entitled. Getting some expensive jewelry for your birthday, then whining that your birthday, Christmas and your anniversary are so close together that you get screwed in the gift department. Aren't you something close to 60? You are way too old to act this way.

On your Twitter bio it says, "Star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City." Not one of the "Stars." The "Star." This is yet one more example of your extreme narcissim. You are not the "Star" of the show. You are more of a Black Hole than a "Star."

I'm sure if I felt like thinking about it some more I'd think of other things Jill Zarin could do that might make people despise her a bit less. But, right now, thinking about Jill Zarin is starting to make my head hurt.

Real Housewives of New York City: Bravo Insider Gossip While Kelly & Jill Lunch at World Pie

You're looking at The Real Housewives of New York City's Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon outside of something called World pie, where they had lunch.

Jill Zarin continues her internet assault on Alex McCord, thus continuing to sink deeper and deeper into the Mean Girl hole Jill dug for herself over the course of the just completed 3rd season of RHONY.

A supposed, alleged Bravo insider has leaked Bravo's thinking as to what to do about the cast of RHONY. I'll copy that supposed insider info below.

But first I've got some Twitter Tweeting to copy.

First, Kelly Twittered to Jill, one of Kelly's now notoriously stupid Tweets. Kelly Tweeted @jillzarin, saying, "I loved lunch at World pie. I admire our friendship so much."

This Kelly comment prompted others to Tweet, like whatthatsaid who Tweeted, "Has anyone actually checked her diploma?"

Kelly supposedly attended Columbia University.

PenePan Tweeted, "What is Jill wearing? Some kind of diaper? And Kelly, besides needing to take an English course, learn some posture!"

Karabrah Tweeted, "If you studied at Columbia you'd know that you don't admire your own friendships. You admire others in their friendships and "treasure your friendships".

Poppymommy also Tweeted Kelly about her bad verbiage, "you really need to learn English -- I think you meant "treasure our friendship" how the hell does someone admire their own friendship?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And now the alleged memo from a Bravo insider....

Sonja – IN
Ramona – IN

Bravo has a small list of housewives they want to approach to come on the show. Up for replacement are:

Kelly – everyone saw this coming. Talk is they want to phase her out.

LuAnn – Bravo does not like BORING. She is tanking in polls, blogs, housewives chatter, etc. Corte was more popular.

Now things get interesting:
Bravo knows this show runs on drama. Guess what they want? Yes — ALEX and Jill drama. Sonja won’t engage. Ramona is an instigator not fighter.

Alex will be approached first. IF she says yes — then Jill will be signed. If Alex says no — Jill gets replaced.

If Jill had brains, she would stop all her stupid PR tricks of fighting during. She would stop all the trolls she has sent out fighting with Simon, Alex, and other bloggers. She might want to focus a little bit more on trying to look good. If Alex doesn’t come back then stick a fork in Jill – cuz she is done.

She also needs to back off her reunion comments about her not coming back if Alex comes back. She really needs to do something not housewives related to get fans back to liking her. Her “Q” rating is still declining.

Bethenny is the only one where it is up to her if she wants to or not. She is totally undecided right now but Bravo will wait for her. She has several weeks to make a decision.

Karma — it’s like a gift from baby jesus. It just keeps giving and giving.

Again – just gossip – but it comes from inside the NBC walls. Please understand that I can not say more about the source. You can take it for what its worth which I know isn’t much but time will tell.

The Real Housewives of New York City: The Kelly Bensimon Problem & Jill Zarin's Continuing Madness

The just completed 3rd season of The Real Housewives of New York City is a gift that just keeps giving. Kelly Bensimon continues to cluelessly cement her crazy girl reputation in a variety of ways. With one being Kelly's Twitter Tweets. Or, what she calls "sound bites."

On the 3rd hour of the reunion Kelly's tweets came up, to which Jill reacted with an "oh no, not Kelly's tweets." Andy Cohen inquired as to the why of Jill's "oh no." To which Jill replied something like "Kelly's tweets make no sense, I can't understand them."

In the past week Kelly twittered a series of tweets that when compiled together in a sort of paragraph seem to be saying she is working with Bravo to find new housewives.

This is what Kelly said....

"I am def coming back if they change the cast. Dynasty with no money or power is over ah? No. Its called bored with filming with fake "reality stars," ahh hello. Are we not watching the same show! I am helping them find real Yorkers who inspire, not made for tv "faux celebs." Whats wrong with life being rainbows and jellybeans? thats the best kind of life to live. We cant all be bitter and materialistic."

Regarding Bravo and who will be a New York City Housewife one viewer opined with the following...

"Well, it's gonna be interesting to see how the negotiations go and who returns. I suspect they will all be asked back except for maybe Kelly. I'm not sure bravo wants that liability on their hands, but than again I'm sure they will weigh the negative against the possible ratings bonanza and decide. It seems to me that if it was as bad in St. John as they say, and bravo chose not to air a lot of the footage, they must know they've got a problem they may not be able to handle and will choose to cut Kelly loose.

I'm kind of on the fence about Luann. I'm not sure she brings a lot to the table, but they may keep her so Jill will have a sidekick since Jen didn't seem to work out. But, who knows, Bravo might give Jen another shot. I think they may be trying to figure out who to keep, Jen or Luann.

Jill will definitely be back. I think she'd do it for free if they asked her. She's on a mission to rehabilitate herself and win back her once adoring fans. They know Jill is ratings gold.

I think Alex has secured her spot and they know Jill and Alex on the same show will be what everybody wants to see.

Sonja has become very popular in a short period of time. She's a shoe in.

I think Bethenny has an open spot if she decides to return. I'm sure bravo is trying to shore up some kind of deal with her as well.

I left out Ramona. Of course she'll be back, that's a given."

Now, I agree with the above viewer about Kelly Bensimon. And, near as I can tell, most viewers agree. It was entertaining watching a person gradually make obvious that they are mentally ill or suffer from some serious psychological disorder. But, after this turned, well, borderline tragic, in St. John, well, at that point it turned into uncomfortable viewing.

With the uncomfortable viewing continuing through the reunion shows.

I don't see how Bravo can continue to film Kelly Bensimon, unless it is in a new show where we see her getting therapy from Dr. Phil or Dr. Drew. Or some other doctor. It is not an option to continue to film and display Kelly's serious disconnect from reality. Which really is ironic, it being a reality show, afterall.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Change of subject to Jill. This is another housewife in dire need of therapy. Perhaps Jill should also be removed from RHONY. Maybe Jill and Kelly could do a show together. Jill & Kelly Get Help! That'd be a catchy title.

Jill Zarin is currently in full pit bull attack mode against sweet, totally non-toxic Alex McCord. Remember when Jill had her lunch with Bethenny and told Bethenny that Alex was toxic, and that Bethenny had not seen the toxic side of Alex.

Remember that all Alex really did was shove some reality in Jill's homely mug, telling Jill that she was in high school and a mean girl.

So, what does Jill, who wakes up each day trying to be a better person, do? Jill now directs her mean girl, high school act directly at Alex. Once more Jill is totally miscalculating and is only digging herself deeper into the Reality TV Star Hall of Infamous Villains.

One viewer characterized the Jill problem rather succinctly...

"Nothing can be Jill's fault. She can't attack Bethenny, since that didn't work for her.

Alex and Bethenny hang out. Alex was welcome at the hospital after the birth. Alex gave Bethenny a baby shower. Alex is on Bethenny's show. Alex attended Bethenny's wedding. Alex is getting air time. Alex, Ramona, and Bethenny continue to call each other and hang out together.

Jill is jealous and furious that she isn't getting the Bethenny-glow fall out and extra TV time, and that Alex is.

Also? Alex stood up to her, called her a mean girl in high school, and told her to shut up, she was speaking.

As usual, Jill's evil plans are backfiring, because her feud with Alex is making Alex MORE valuable to Bravo.

I think Jill's a hater. She has to have someone to blame for whatever isn't her way or anything else under the sun.

Jill's probably done it her whole life. She probably learned it from her mother, Gloria. Jill never stopped hating - she just transferred the hate from Bethenny to Alex.

I think Jill thrives on negative energy, instead of positive energy. Many people do. She should see a doctor and take Kelly with her."

Okay, that's all for now about Kelly Bensimon and Jill Zarin and their depraved, demented, disgusting dealings.
