Do you know what else is weird? The wallpaper in the picture, above, is the same wallpaper she had in her bedroom in the apartment she built with Jason. Is she still there? I thought Jason got that apartment. Or did she put the same paper in her new digs? Not the same nightstand, nor headboard or mounted lights. Weird.

I know Milania has been the break out star of this franchise but I really, really hate how they're emphasizing her terrible behavior in the First Look. Shut your Butthole? Trust me when I say that she's going to have a hard time in school. Her mouth is going to make it very difficult for her peers and teachers to like her. Sad thing is, it's not her fault. But not every adult and child in her life is going to care about that.

Maybe she meant the hardest physical thing she's ever done in her life. I've done 2 obstacle/mud runs. And they were the hardest physical things I've ever done in my life. Bar nothing. Including 9 hours of labor (albeit not hard labor) and a C-section.

Modeling can be many things. I "modeled" in New York. I wasn't BIG AGENCY material but my small agency got me work regularly. Some of the jobs were so lame but I made a decent living while going to school. Ready to wear runway modeling at convention centers for department store buyers, several shows a year for Aveda, Sebastian and Bumble +Bumble. Regular gigs during Toy Fair and other trade shows. Auto Show in NYC and Detroit. The lamest 'modeling' job I ever had was a demonstration model for a fancy loofah sponge. LOL. My point, just because Kristen doesn't have tons of print work readily viewable online doesn't mean she isn't making some bank. She's no Cindy Crawford but I think she did, or does, okay. For the time being. She's aging out, though. But she'll still be able to find trade show or other commercial work if she wanted to. Kristen proved (to me anyway) that she knows HOW to model when we saw her modeling for Heather. She's a more believable model than Brandi. Kristen knows how to move in front of a camera which takes experience. That's way harder than it looks. Brandi couldn't even make it down the runway at Kyle's store without looking like she'd never stepped foot on one before in her life. I think Brandi's modeling career was similar to mine. Convention centers and car shows. Except I can walk a runway. Or used to. But I was never able to lose my self consciousness to move as well as Kristen does in front of a camera.

If not for extratextual observations, what's the point of posting here? LOL. For me, that's the fun. I used to try to believe it was all real, because - hello reality teevee, but when I watch them interact and know that they see the camera/production crew in their periphery and keep going, it becomes a sitcom. In the case of these exaggerated storylines, now it's more like a cartoon. Makes me wonder why they would put their reputations and businesses on the line to *act* like bigger buffoons than they probably are IRL. Especially the ones who appear to not need the cash.

I don't believe Kristen can't wash a head of lettuce any more than I believe that Lu was really trying to get pregnant. Or that Carole was really going to change her kitchen into an office, that Sonja was really living without hot water or that Ramona and Aviva are as unaware of their offensiveness as they are showing us. I think the Hos are trying to make themselves seem more eccentric and outrageous than they really are because they're desperate for camera time. The only authentic things I've seen in the past two episodes is how much Harry enjoyed those chicken wings and Heather's smug superiority. I don't think he or she faked any of that. Those things are the real deal. If Heather's not faking that, (see the scene in Montana when she and Kristen are sitting on the rock while Kristen apologizes, for one example) she deserves a gold statue to match that hideous gold dress she was wearing the other night.

Again, enjoying your posts, Copacabana. If we don't hear from you for the next little while, we'll know you're hiding out from the severe thunderstorms in your area. My BIL is there and he's Facebooking from the basement.

It's highly probable because you are correct that Bravo likes to manipulate footage to the advantage and disadvantage of the Hos. It's not only the throwing down and roping of calves that is so horrible at a rodeo, though. The bucking broncos are usually bucking and acting wild because they were cattle prodded with electricity just as they enter the arena. The 'cowboys' antagonize the animals to make themselves look macho and to make the animals look crazed. Unless the Hos were merely laughing and clapping at the clowns, I seriously don't know what could be so funny. And then Heather made the remark about the rodeo being the best thing she's ever seen in her life?? Blech. Just...blech.

Copa: Very much enjoyed the last 3 of your posts and agree. I think you are absolutely correct about Sonja and her inability to cope with her fall from grace. The other posts about Sonja being jealous, of the men falling all over Luann's statuesque beauty. Possibly true but for every man who likes them long, lean and athletic looking, there's one who likes them blonde, fine boned and petite. Problem is, Sonja is so crazy that she's taken herself right out of the market that she strives so hard to be part of. Imo, Luanne and Sonja are equally attractive - actually I find Sonja's face more beautiful. And she has a better pedigree, as far as her marriage to an aristocrat. But even if she pulled herself together, I think the horse has already left the barn and it's being televised.

All of them were laughing, clapping and cheering. Except Heather. For a second she sat there looking aghast. And for a second, I respected her. Just for a second, though, because the next words out of her mouth were, "The rodeo was probably one of the best things I've ever seen in my life." LOL. Damn. Even if she was exaggerating, I'm surprised she'd use such an interesting choice of words.

I agree. Yet, I keep hoping that ONE of these women will say something and really mean it. If you say that going after someone's marriage/relationship is wrong, then stand by your conviction that it's wrong. Don't let some idiot change your convictions because they say something idiotic. They're idiots! It makes you no better than them. Imo. Same shit, different day. If you say it's not nice to dog someone's livelihood, then don't do it even if they dog yours. Yeah, yeah, I know you shouldn't just stand there and take it but she'd come off better, classier, in more control if she stuck to her convictions regarding not insulting relationships and/or livelihood. Defend your career just refrain from taking the low road.

Agree! I could have lived without the hat. The fringe pants or the hat. Not both together. But yeah, the vest. And the necklace, and those long, Pilate'd limbs. If I'm going to talk behind anyone's back while checking out their ass, it's going to be Lu's. Not Carole's.

Absolutely, positutely agree. Ramona was SO right about Bethenny. I think those crazy eyes of Moaner's are all-seeing. But her delivery! I can't handle watching someone who perceives themselves as being tougher/stronger/better kicking a weaker dog when they're down.

Heather is not built for apologizing. She puts inspirational quotes up on her blog, which to me, seems her way to excuse crappy behavior, no apologies necessary. Ever. One famous quote I'd like to see from her is: "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Because if there's one thing she should be sorry for is how she snapped at Jonathon while gearing up to kick Mandy's ass. That made me uncomfortable to see that clip again last night. Kristen may have tried to mock Heather's control over Jonathon, but the way he slunked away (slunked? LOL Sorry, it fits, it stays) after Heather bossed him at Lu's was much worse. I think Ramona has seen that hunkered over, kicked dog version of Jonathon before, hence her nasty comments last night. I think Bravo replayed that clip for a reason. It would make for a juicy, albeit unfortunate-for-Jonathon, storyline. I think if it were reversed and Jon was ready to deck someone at a party and Heather intervened to stop it - if he'd have raised his pointed finger at her and said, "Excuse me Heather, get out of this right now. Honey." we'd be talking about what a dirt bag he was and not how strong and independent he is..

Me, too. I felt sorry for her last week but got over it. At dinner, it was almost like you could see the wheels spinning in that pretty head on how she could amp up the drama. I know that's what they're supposed to do because if Bravo loves anything, they love dinnertime drama. But she is such a novice. If they bring her back next season, assuming there is one, I hope she can hone that skill a little. Because it was amateur hour in Montana last night.

I'd rather spend time with Aviva than Ramona. I've never liked her. Ironically, it's the two times she was being awful to Bethenny - who is on my list of Top 5 Detestable Hos - that really sealed the deal on my dislike for Moaner. On the bridge and when she told Beth that Jill likes the underdog and expounded on that topic. I also didn't love Simon but when she was so rude to him at Jill's dinner party, yikes. I think those are her true colors. Makes for wonderful snark but a shitty human being.

I agree. Jonathon has no dog in this race. He should be left out of it. Heather was right when she said, "You don't fuck with my family, don't fucking play that card bitch cuz it's not gonna be pretty." But in her blog, she throws some pretty good shade at Ramona's marriage. She's a hypocrite. You either believe talking about someone's family is wrong or you don't. Just because someone does it to you first, doesn't mean you should quit your own ethics From Heather's blog: Then set the example, Heather. If someone trashes my home/car/marriage, it doesn't make it okay for me to trash something of theirs. Because, ethics.

Scavenger hunts are boring. Where's my private plane. I'm going home.

It feels like we've had 10 episodes of Montana. I'm over it. Over them. I hate Ramona's fake laugh/titter/whatever that annoying sound she makes when she thinks giggling is cute. And I hate Heather's fake drunkenness. Funny how girlfriend can stop acting stupid drunk, on a dime, in order to defend her husband so coherently. She did that last week, too. Stumbling all through the forest acting drunk but able to, suddenly, chastise Kristen for calling her bossy. I acted drunk once. I was fifteen. Holla! And quit yer whining Kristen. I used to do that, too. I was three. Call me a sap but seeing those calves thrown down and roped at the rodeo pissed me off.

And maybe Aviva was right about them all along.

And there was something about Cindy's friend or brother smoking a cigar at the funeral?? I don't think we care so much about these One and Done Housewives, it's just that this is good exercise for our brains trying to remember this stuff. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

So did I! LOL. Then when I scrolled past it the second time, I had to look it up. Yup. Learned something new today!

From Heather's blog: For someone who claims to have done it a lot, why doesn't she know how to spell it? It's 'rappelling', Heather. And thanks to whomever posted above and used the term, 'abseiling'. I learned that it means the same thing as 'rappelling'. I like to nit and I'm also a former runnor. I enjoy reeding and riting, too. In my twenties I liked to skee although I wasn't very good at it.

LOL. While I might stop, just shy of, blowing a hobo, I agree. It's a new experience. Try it. I'm surprised Ramona didn't have her whiny ass airlifted out of Montana, too. For all her talk about how bad Aviva was in St. John's, her behavior is right up there in the assy department. Kristen should have shouted in her face to, "TAKE A XANAX. CALM DOWN" every time the Moaner complained about something.

She didn't make it sound like that in her book. Correct me if I'm wrong (I read the book during Season 1), but didn't Carole say she went to Jackie's apartment to sit vigil while Jackie was dying? That, to me, seems like she'd have to be on fairly intimate terms with the family. Also, since Anthony was John's best friend, I would think that anything John graduated from or launched, birthday/engagement/whatever parties that were either thrown BY or given IN John's honor, Carole and Anthony would be invited to. As would many of the other Kennedys that John was close to. I think she had exposure but imagine she was like a fish out of water.
