Thanks, Wirewrap. I was addressing those who think Kristen herself should be the one approaching Beth about why she wasn't invited. I don't think I would be brave enough to do that!

Is it just me? I would never in a million years ask someone why I was not invited to their party. Especially Beth -- she'd bite my head off and I'm not strong enough to deal. :)

Rerun ep with the bride who decided to remove the white backing from her Pnina stripper-fairy dress to expose her belly. I just knew her older groom would want that! Ugh. I just don't understand the wanting to look sexy for your wedding.

I liked LuAnn better as a Friend Of than as a Housewife. I will never forget her treatment of Alex and for siding with Jill against Bethany in that Awful Season. This season she is back to her snide comments. She is very beautiful on the outside; I wish she would be more so in her behavior.

Agree that the newborn was massive.
Have not watched this show regularly in years, so I am enjoying the flashbacks and the show.

Ugh those awards ceremonies. Every year the whole school has to sit through them. Nice for the high-achievers, not so great for the quiet, lost-in-the-crowd types like one of my kids.

Ugh. No way, no how. He has no credibility with me.

About the brunch issue...I don't know really what the etiquette is, but if I wanted to host a brunch, I would invite everyone from both houses, especially the hosts. It just seems right. Bethennys inviting only Sonja seemed deeply wrong. I loved the houses, the views, and the bit of tension. I love Carole, but not the flirting with the very young chef. Not saying it's wrong, but it made me uncomfortable. Bethenny is showing too much testosterone but I admire her success. And, by the way, I recall her saying "Skinny Girl Margarita;" not LuAnn. I love Heather, but she should have kept her mouth shut about how Bethenny should spend her profits.
I agree with all of this! You said it much better than I could, Notmuchofacook -- thank you!

Thanks, shoegal! I was not paying close attention.

I felt bad for Kirk and Laura -- it would be awful to be in that limbo of not knowing. However, I did NOT like the editing in which we had to visit them for each of the five days prior to the final ultrasound. What more could they say? "Ummm, we still don't know anything ... Yup, still waiting ... Etc etc ..."
I thought a lot of this episode was painfully slow. I do feel bad for Erik who still desperately wants a father figure ... And his FIL is so dry and humorless.

Back to Brunchgate, did Betthenny ask Sonja out for brunch in front of all the others? I think that is inconsiderate -- beyond the fact that Sonja was Ramona's houseguest (which B may or may not have known.)

ACKKKK!!! I am SO tired of women fighting all the time. Bethenny and Ramona -- shut UP!! I wasn't paying attention to whatever the argument was about, but I just can't with B. And, there are too many Housewives on this show.

Besides the controlling groom and future MIL in that episode, I thought it odd/wrong that the bride invited everyone to come see her pick out a dress -- for an event they were not invited to! I also felt bad for bride's mom.
-
I want to see LuAnn's new place !!!
Looks like Bethanny joined the show to do "woe is me" propaganda and turn us all against her husband. She really is exhausting -- and dramatic. I wonder how much of it is real?

Yeah, I'm sick of that dress, too. Did not realize it is a Pnina, as many times as I have see it! To me, it just looks so heavy, and tacky with the silver bling on it.

Casual viewer. I think Whitney has bad hair.

Yes, I was surprised they showed that clip of the consultant saying "you don't know what you want." lol. I sort of faded out in that episode, but I wasn't wild with her choice.
The Jersey boys family with the Mike guy and his brothers --- ack! They were trying soooooooo hard! It was cute at first, then got old. Agree that it felt like they were trying for their own sitcom. Glad she chose something other than that tired old heavy-looking satin dress with the bling on bodice and dropped waist.
Then the Jersey girl who thought she wanted bling but chose simpler. I liked the dress she chose and happy she realized she didn't have to be outrageous to be noticed. I think her twin would be more attractive with darker hair. I recognized the friend (Kelly?) who I believe ended up getting her own one-hour special about her wedding. Glad they didn't give her too much screen time; this was the bride's moment.

Too much NPH. Didn't need the running gag about the briefcase or the "isn't the show over with yet?" ending with his forecasts. Have the song sung at the same time as the "In Memoriam" segment, or no vocal at all.
I too remember when they would give a short announcement about the documentaries. I really liked that.
Someone upthread said Garth Brooks should have sung "I'm Not Going to Miss You" instead of Tim McGraw. Not a huge TM fan, but I am so glad it was not Garth. Garth would have over-emoted, making it more about him by taking his hat off at the end and looking sorrowful, or something like that. Love Garth and his music back in the day, but recently saw him in concert and he was way OTT in (faux, IMO) emotion to the crowd.

No. Not NPH in his tighty whiteys. Ugh.

I like JLo's dress too. It's nice to see her in something that's not pasted to her body. This shows off her breasts, but still is "pretty."

Okay, thanks Snickerdoodle. I was entering the workforce, getting married and having baby #1 in the '80's, so perhaps not up to date on pop culture. I stand corrected!

This show takes place in the '80's, right? I don't watch it regularly, but this week someone used the expression "that sucks" and another week the mom said "awesome." Pretty sure those expressions were not around in the 1980's.

Love Dwight! Thanks for confirming that was him. Very cool. Liked the song too.

I didn't understand Madonna's message -- can someone explain? I am about her age and admire her fitness and shape, but did not think her stage outfit was flattering. It was a little embarrassing.
In other news, I am so sick of these Boston Tea Party commercials.

S07.E05: Mind Your Own Business
in The Real Housewives Of New York City
Yeah, I'm not getting the "why didn't you include me?" from Lu and Heather. I figure Sonja is too embarrassed about the past.
PLEASE! Person taking Kristen's pictures -- the vagina is an internal organ -- you are NOT going to see it while taking her photo!! (This bothers me to no end on TV.)
