I thought I heard Bethenny say she was going on another trip that would take her away from her daughter for 9 days. Did she ever say where she was going? Or did she mean that her ex would have the child for 9 days? She is just so into herself that she cannot even begin to see others' points of view. I am beginning to feel that (perish the thought) Jill Zarin may have been right about Bethenny. Bethenny is clueless about how to be a friend or to empathise with others. Jill had opened up her home and family to Bethenny and as soon as Bethenny got a boyfriend and sold her margarita mix, Beth turned her back on all that.

I never watched any of her spin off shows. What did her husband do that was so terrible?

That brand meeting was one of the most boring things I've seen. Most of the participants looked really glum and the only person who made any sense was the guy who didn't know there was a salad dressing. I have never liked Betheeny ever since the Martha Stewart Apprentice show. She is a self-absorbed black hole who sucks all the air out of the show. Her return has absolutely ruined this show. PTB please focus on the other more interesting and entertaining women. (That means every single one of them except Bethenny.)

Why has this become the Kristen show? Boring and self-centered.

Could Josh have been on his cell phone for the conference call? I rarely use my cell phone but can you send a text message if you are speaking on the phone? Have been watching previous seasons of this show which I have on DVD. I think the problem with the current version and cast is that there is no "center" around which everything, whether good or bad, revolves. Love her or hate her, Jill served as the center for the first four seasons. Heather doesn't get so involved in other people's lives and Sonja, Ramona and Aviva are too crazy to fill this spot. Carole is largely absent and Kristen is only about herself. Also, her perpetual whining disqualifies her. It's not a natural spot for LuAnn either. Also, early seasons often showcased the ladies jobs like Ramona's business, Zarin fabrics, Bethenny's adventures and models who actually worked a bit. These jobs were easy to show on TV. I don't know whether heather wants the cameras hanging around her office. The other jobs - like being an author- are not spectator sports. I'm really glad Bethenny is gone. With the benefit of hindsight ( seeing how she treated her husband) one can see what a pill she is.

I can't stand Kristen and her whining. Why does she play such a large part in every show? By now I want to toss a glass (plastic) in her direction, too.
