Pattycake2

"I think it's very easy for us to kick her to the curb like a bag of trash" Yolanda Foster RHOBH reunion. You betcha Momma! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! WOOT!

I don't think she was particularly bitchy. Ramona asked for opinions and Luann gave hers. It just wasn't what Ramoaner wanted to hear and thereby set her off on the entire history of the houses, her relationship with her daughter, and the ghosts of Christmas past. Don't ask if you don't want to hear what people think. I do think Ramon's attack on Kristen was producer-driven. Kristen did nothing at all. It was nonsense. Hated the Trouble shirt. RHNYC is a job. If Bethanny wants to stay home with Brynn, quit. Otherwise, do what you're supposed to do. It's what the rest of the world has to do.

Everyone had crappy lines. Kat McPhee, however, was also a crappy actor.

Maybe, after Bethanny was filmed saying she wasn't going to the Berkshires, Bravo told her to get her butt up there. Bravo loves nothing more than a Housewife Dinner from Hell. Didn't we see Heather's apartment once? I have a vague memory of the cameras following her into her apartment and maybe Jax getting a bath or something like that? Or was I drinking too much Fabellini? Which, btw, isn't as bad as one would think.

It appeared to me that Heather, having been the recipient of Bethenny's overt rudeness in the previous weeks, had decided that she wasn't going to let it slide anymore. I think she feels that the other women ignore Bethenny's brashness and don't bother to call her on it as to not wreak the Bethenny wrath. So, Heather pushed and probed and gave tit for tat. Until Bethenny cried. When Bethenny cried, she won. I thought the yellow roses on the table may have come from the bouquet brought by Ramona?

Dear God in Heaven, they've brought back Kat McPhee. Is there ANY chance she's learned how to really act? Here comes the industrial wind machine.

In her blog, Sonja called "the girls" fiends! HAHAHAHAHAHA! If that was a typo, it was a good one! FYI, I read that Bethanny settled her lawsuit last week.

I've been thinking about this boy toy and living the high life thing going on with some of the women. And Sonja clinging to her past. Frankly, I think it all has to do with fear of the future. Sure the ladies are enjoying the company of young men as well as living it up, wearing what they like, grabbing life. Sonja, Luann, and Carole are all in their early 50's. Somewhere in the back of their minds, they must realize that time is running out to be the belles of the ball. Sonja is scared shitless, hence the living in the past. Ramona is turning 59 this year. How hard it must be to be divorced and have to start over. She said she wasn't interested in the young guy thing. Even though she looks amazing, she must know that someone 60+ dating someone 30 years their junior would not only not be all that fun, but sort of squicky.

According the the townhouse drawings posted upthread, the lower level has an 8/12 foot wide foye/vestibuler where I'm guessing the ladies tried to park their suitcases and from there you go through a door to the rest of the level containing a bathroom, gallery, living room/office. You take the stairs up to the kitchen area. The bedrooms are on the next two levels. It sounds as if the ladies entered and tried to go up to the kitchen area and then were shooed down to the closed off foyer and told to go to Starbucks. Ramona was allowed to use the bathroom on the other side of the foyer door. It's highly rude no matter how you look at it.

It's their job. They are getting paid to get to shoots on time. Doing so, is a responsible thing. Women going on about their wonderful bodies...being beautiful, being pretty, having a banging body is very nice. Mostly, it is the results of good genes, serendipity, or luck of the draw. You don't brag about it as if you are god's gift to the universe. It's far better to work on being beautiful inside. Or, as Dorinda said, "Money talks, wealth whispers."

And Bethenny texted Sonja the night before to tell her that she would late, but Sonja didn't tell the other women until they arrived. I saw Carole in a bikini last season. It's nice that she thinks she has such a great body. I mean that sincerely. Really. Uh-huh.

Reminds me of Edwina on AbFab. It's Lacroix, darling! LACROIX!!

Haven't all the contestants had an "I'm frustrated/mad/upset" package throughtout the season? It was just time for Nastia and I saw normal frustration. No big deal. My niece was a gymnast. Pretty good, too, until she had a fracture. Then she went into a top high school dance team. They won Nationals several times and she became Dance Captain. She had no additional dance training. FYI, she won many a club "best booty dancing" competition in her early 20's, too. LOL I was not sorry to see Willow go. Kept expecting to see Mark choreograph a Dancing Teletubbies number next (no gay purple one, of course). Glad to have been spared from that!

On E News last night, Giuliana Rancic said that she was on Kim's side regarding Dr. Phil. She said if she went into an internew and it turned out to be an intervention and she wasn't prepared, she'd walk out, too. Honey, if you are prepared for an intervention, you don't need an intervention. Idiot.

I was disappointed that Joe got off. Guess juries will swallow hogwash on both sides of the pond. How did everyone get outside of the cottage as Joe was dragged out? Weren't they just inside the cottage? And there were eleven towns people putting him in that cab. Should have been twelve to pass judgement and issue a sentence. I think Season 3 will focus on Joe somehow trying to get to his children and, god help me, Sharon and Jocelyn trying to get the son out of prison as the subplot. I love Jocelyn. There is something majestic about her. The Dowager Countess in legal robes. But the son in prison story bored the heck out of me. I don't care if Sharon is redeemed. Here's hoping that Tom doesn't grow to 6' 4" in the meantime. Another question - why did Hardy think he could die from the pacemaker operation? These days, they are done under minimal sedation with a local anaesthetic. That's why he could go home so soon.

And, yeah, I agreed that Bethenny is being unnecessarily abrasive.

I suspect that when the producers brought back LuAnn, it was with the condition that she be their voice and number one shit stirrer. It was LuAnn who said they should go to both brunches. LuAnn who "ran into" Kelly. LuAnn who brought up the internet dating sites and the Moroccan psychic - cue the video.

The Polo Lounge? That is Brandi's "Home away from Home" according to her book. And the spot where, after she spent a cozy, family Christmas eve dinner with the Fosters, gave a hand job to Mr. Unicorn and ended up having blackout sex. She must have told Kim how wonderful a place it is to hang out.

Just gotta say that I have NO problem with the Lisa R tweets. If it were possible, I'd have had Lisa R sign them "With Hugs, Pattycake2"

I was so afraid that Hardy was going to keel over into the water. His memories of almost drowning make me a wee nervous having him so close to the water. Now I'm thinking that maybe there was swinging/wife swapping/foursomes going on among the neighbors and Ricky gave Lee the drug so that Claire would be out of it when they substituted the niece. Yeah, that.

Charlotte said she couldn't help herself and went online to read what people were saying about her. That's similar to secretly listening to a group of people gossiping about you. About you and not To you. It's gossiping, not bullying.

I just read up on Weil's disease and Hardy contracting it is an extreme stretch. Comes from infected animals mostly in tropical and sub-tropical regions and causes a host of other serious symptoms way before affecting the heart. Seems unlikely, but, whatever, it's TV. I don't know if Lee was having sex with Pippa's older cousin. Maybe it was Claire. Or both of them. The mention of the furnace in the previews for this week's episode make me think that the cousin is no longer prancing through the bluebells. ETA: Per wikipedia, Bluebells do grow in France. In France, H. non-scripta is largely confined to the northern half of the country.[29] It is not legally protected at the national level, but it is protected in many of the départements towards the edge of its range (Corrèze, Loiret, Gironde, Lot-et-Garonne, Dordogne, Cher, Eure-et-Loir, Indre-et-Loire and Loir-et-Cher).[29] In Wallonia, H. non-scripta is protected under Annexe VII of the Loi sur la conservation de la nature.[30]

I recall Kyle speaking (at one of the reunions maybe?) of all the sleepless night she spent worrying about Kim and wondering if she was dead or alive. She also inferred that she and Mauricio have financially helped her. I'd bet the farm that you can add in a zillion of those 2am calls, Kim's children reaching out for help, dozens of missed events, unanswered phone calls, and other issues. That's the way it is with addictions. It is a disease which can destroy a family, not only the addict. It is a disease which may involve stealing, lying and just about the only disease I can think of where treatment is refused and fought against. On a gossipier note - that book signing dress was too young for Camille. No one over 40 should wear a skull on their chest.

Yes, that is what I thought. But didn't someone say that Ellie's oldest was sixteen in episode 3? Did I totally imagine that? Maybe I did. Ack.
