I wonder if this comment will be addressed at the Reunion. I would imagine that, if it were made by any other housewife, from any franchise, Andy would be jumping all over this, but given that Bethenny made the comment, it won't be mentioned at all. I continue to lose respect for Bethenny. I loved her in Season 1 and 2, loved her on her own shows, but since her return to RHofNY, her likability factor just keeps going down, week after week after week.

While I agree with you on some level, I don't think that Kathryn's behavior was anywhere near as bad as what we saw during the Scary Island episodes of RHNY, and Kelly Bensimon's epic meltdown. Now, that, I would definitely say was used by Bravo for ratings. Kathryn and Thomas' behaviors are fairly mild in comparison.

I agree with you on all points...excellent post! Last night, while watching, I was wondering why, if Landon and Kathryn both claim to have "zero fucks to give" (tm - either Erika Jayne or Bethenny Frankel, depending on who you are talking too) about each other, why would they even involve themselves in each other's business. Kathryn stated that "irrelevance doesn't enter her brain" or whatever she said when speaking about Landon, and Landon has repeatedly commented that she wants nothing to do with Kathryn, doesn't care what Kathryn does, etc., but, yet, both their actions are the exact opposite of their words. Landon constantly inserted herself into conversations about Thomas and Kathryn that had absolutely NOTHING to do with her. Kathryn jabbed at Landon's comments with immature, petulant comebacks. They both sounded like five year olds in a sandbox fighting over the one pail and shovel. If you want nothing to do with the other party, stay the hell out of their business, don't comment on their actions or behaviors - pretend like that other person doesn't exist. Cameron is doing a fairly good job of that, as you said. I think both Landon and Kathryn are a little crazy, just in different ways.

Maybe that's why she moved away from Phoenix? ;-)

Yes - Heather and Terry were staying at Beaches Resort, which is amazing, and can be very, very expensive, especially for a butler family suite. And, for the record, there was no enhancement of the water and beach - the water there is really that amazing turquoise color and the sand is like baby powder. That vacation probably set them back at least $25,000.00 for a week for their family, not including airfare.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Shep was the one who was rating the women on a numerical scale (at least on camera) - that was Craig and Whitney, and actually, I think Shep did his best to dispel those comments. I like the fact that Shep is what he is, and he makes no excuses for it. He is a guy who is just having a good time with his life. He makes no apologies for who he is, for his family money, for his businesses, for the fact that he, right now, prefers one night stands or flings to anything more committed or serious. Whiteny said it best when he said that Shep is the best one on the show because he just looks at the show as a fun thing to do, rather than a launch pad for anything else. Shep is an intelligent man. You can tell by his answers to the questions that Andy asked, and the references he has made to literature and history throughout the show. Regarding the numerical scale of his "hook-ups", and when Craig said something about going home with a "2", his response about a binary scale was priceless, and even more priceless was the look of utter confusion on Landon's face, because I think she has no freakin' clue what he was talking about! AND - that, right there, is the reason that Landon and Shep would not be a good match. She is just not on the same level, intellectually, as he is.

Ummm....posting Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat photos?

That collection won't garner her much cash - she admitted on TV that the one she was carrying when she met Cooper was "faux" real.

As far as I can see, the only ones who seems to be raking Kathryn across the coals for sleeping with other people are Landon and Patricia . The others (specifically Cameron and Whitney), seem to have more of an issue with her erratic, tumultuous behaviors., which is perfectly understandable.

The last place on earth that Kathryn wanted to be was on that couch. She looked and acted like a petulant child, forced to sit still and keep quiet during a church sermon. It would not surprise me to learn that she was not drug free during the reunion. Most of her comments were nonsensical, and immature. All her "shut ups" and "mind your business" were childish and rude.

Is that a 2016 term for the 1970's terrarium (complete with a fake cardinal) that Carole brought to Adam's house? My Mom had a terrarium just like that back in the day. That is Carole, again, being unwilling afraid to commit to anything.

More like an Asian-Jewish version! (Sorry - couldn't resist!) :-)

Well, she might, but she would preface it by saying that she got them while on the same yacht with P.Diddy or Madonna, or when she was skiing in Gstaad with the Sultan of Brunei. ;-)

Sounds like a big mistake to me, if that's the case. Unless, she's looking, he's buying, and she's going to keep her current apartment as a back-up, or for when she has Bryn.

I kind of liked Jason, and I feel bad that Bethenny discounts his family. I think that if she was not so damaged, she could have finally had the family that she cried about wanting in the past. Personally, I now think that Bethenny would have been better off going to a sperm bank for an anonymous donor.

Just came across this little tidbit: http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/bethenny-frankel-house-hunting-in-nyc-fredrik-eklund?cid=soc_dg_fb_RHONY I don't understand - didn't she just finish the remodeling work on her current apartment, and claimed how much she loved it, that it was all "hers" and perfect?? Guess we'll be hearing more of Bethenny being "homeless" next season! Or, she'll be showing us how much of a shrew she can be to her contractors again.

Does anyone else think that maybe, just maybe, this special was a sticking point with Bethenny (and maybe Carole, too), with their ongoing vendetta against Luann this season? I get the whole Carole/Luann argument from last season, and their twitter wars or whatever, but could there also be an underlying jealousy that they were not considered for a "Before They Were Housewives" specials of their own? Carole did have a pretty interesting life before the RHNY, with her news background and the Radziwill/Kennnedy connections, and Bethenny, well, I think she just thinks everyone, everywhere wants to know about how "she was raised by wolves", and she absolutely thinks she is the STAR of the show. I'm assuming that the other women knew that this special about Luann was being filmed, so I'm just wondering if anyone else thinks the way I do. :-)

Well, at least with the cancellation of this trip, Carole won't "owe" Bethenny four vacations, instead of the three that Bethenny reminded Carole of, when they were lounging on Bethenny's bed! ;-)

This resort is nowhere near the Tequila region that Bethenny was planning on taking the women. Tequila, Mexico (yes, there is such a place, LOL!) is on the west coast of Mexico, in Jalisco. Generations Resort is in the Riviera Maya, close to Cancun, on the east coast. I guess Bethenny was feeling well enough to make the four hour flight from NY to Cancun in February. Absolutely amazing resort, though!!! :-) Not to be catty (okay, well, yes, I'm being catty), compared to other times we've seen Bethenny in teeny-tiny bikinis, her stomach looks a little bloated here. She still has a great figure for a super thin girl, but I've seen her tummy look more toned.

Forgive me if this has been answered already, but did Jules ever say WHY she was climbing in/out of a window when she injured her "coochie coo"?? WTF??

That's what I was wondering, too!! Actually, I was waiting for Heather from RHOC to come out from behind the backdrop and yell at her (but, maybe she wouldn't - after all, Ramona didn't ruin any cake bow!!) ;-)

I liked the special - I thought Luann was pretty candid about her life. She was, obviously, a jetset party girl before she met the Count, and she didn't really gloss over that, or anything else, including the crabs situation. It was an interesting look into what was an interesting life before the Housewives. But, she did seem ever so slightly pretentious when she was working on the local cable station with her "Reports from the Countess" segments.

But still a whole lot of bitches, no matter how you look at it! ;-)

Wishing your husband all the best....hoping for a good outcome! :-)

I LOVE the looks on those two girls' faces - they're like "Are you effin' kidding me? Grow up and get me off this boat!!" :-)
