S07.E10: Pop Of Crazy

[Crikey]

Why do I get a mental picture of Kristen, standing on a line, holding a number ticket in her hand (similar to the bakery or deli....) to get the opportunity to speak with Bethenny??

 

Or, better yet, waiting outside the Palace for the green guard to come and announce that Bethenny, the All Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz, will now deign to speak with you?     :-)

LOL

 

Bring forth the peasant!

[BucFan]

Bethenny's TH's make her look so hard, her eyebrows, her make up so stark. She needs a softer look or some camera filtering.

 

 

She's got something really unfortunate going on with her blush this season. It's very harsh and the color and placement are not working for me.

Maybe Bethenny needs a "Pop of Color"?

[archer1267]

She flips out in practically every episode, one way or another.

 

 

I wish so much this would happen, and that she'd get called out on the ongoing "I'm so fragile right now" thing.

 

Bethenny: I'm, just…I can't take this right now! My life is a major cluster[bleep], I'm shattered! I don't even have a place to call home! This is so tedious. I'd rather stick a smoking hot curling iron in my vagina.

 

HW: Why'd you come back on the show then?

 

Bethenny: I don't know! I'm a mess! I thought it would be fun! I thought it would take my mind off the Greek tragedy that is my life!

 

HW #2: Well, SkinnyGirl's getting a lot of exposure, so there's that.

 

Bethenny: I don't care! I would give all this up in a heartbeat if I could have had two normal parents! I was raised by wolves!

 

HW #3: I think you really need some therapy. Offscreen. And frequently.

 

(I don't mean to minimize what Bethenny's going through, but she acts like she's the only person with problems and jeez, if her life's so bad, why did she go on the show?!)

Absolutely.  To ignore Kristen because Bethenny was confronted was mean, mean and mean. To ignore someone is way meaner and more dismissive than just having it out with them. Bethenny was on her last nerve after the cross words with LuAnn, and knew she still had to deal with Heather so she took the anger out on Kristen, the easy target. Then she went over, turned it on, and was nice as pie and perfectly reasonable with Heather and apologized. I saw the apology as only a means to the end to skewer Kristen, and gaslight Kristen into looking and acting like a fool as she reacted to Bethenny blowing her off. There is Bethenny nice and reasonable and there is Kristen embarrassed hurt and confused. Perfection. Bethenny hurts and when she hurts she hurts other people. When I see Bethenny in confrontations like this I imagine what things must have been like for Jason when he wanted to confront her.

 

Bethenny Frankel has no governor, no accountability and the more fuck you money she gets the worse her behavior gets because there will always be someone yessing her because she is a "reality star" -her term from this week's blog. Dressing up as her logo as thin as a skeleton during her meeting was disturbing.

Two thumbs way up, ma'am.  Yes.

 

Bethenny is a manipulator and a fucking coward.  She lacks the ovaries to really have it out, and when pushed, is a sniveling little shit who then plays like she's a boss in her TH's. 

 

Kristen strategized poorly.  But Andy and the editors have their thumbs on the scale to favor Bethenny so she can be grossly, unnecessarily mean and we're *all* supposed to cheer.  I've thought Beth was a smug, bratty, manipulative bitch since s. 1.  Only Jason 1 really got her where she lived.  She suuuucks and is so fucking boring.  Thank god Dorinda's here (even though I can't forget the coat check debacle.)

[njbchlover]

Now Heather, dear.  I'm going to speak verrrry slowly so you're sure of my in-TEN-tion...  There are 2 little words I'd like to share with you that can move mountains, end wars and break down glass walls. Pay attention.  Ready, dear?  Here they are:  "I'm sorry."

She's got some mad skillz for getting people to apologize to her for things that she starts.  And after they do, she says, "Apology accepted!"  or "All is forgiven."  But they really aren't.  Because after she smiles her reptilian grin (Bravo! PickleDeeDee) she turns to whomever's closest, to bitch about the sad sack apologizer some more. Gag.

Kadooz to Bethenny for apologizing after acting like a raging maniac behind glass.  Heather says she owns her shit.  She owns nothing.  My condolences, Jonathon.

 

From Heather's blog:

 

"I am definitely a "fixer" by nature. No one wants to be disliked for no reason and I always like to give people chances. This experience with Bethenny has helped me to learn more about her personality and vice versa. I’m glad we were finally able to squash things. I was happy to accept her apology, and of course I am also sorry if I came across pushy. My conversations with Bethenny, on personal topics she is open about, have only ever been in an attempt to encourage and help. We all have things to overcome in life, and although I like to hurry up and try to help, I’ve realized that it’s also important to let others find their way, in their own time."

 

Again, we have another Housewives'-style apology....not just saying "I'm sorry for the way I acted" .... it's an non-apology, because the "if I came across pushy" negates it.  She doesn't get that she DID come across as pushy (and more).

I had to read that back (Bethenny's blog), because I couldn't believe she called herself a star. That's Nene Leakes-level ego right there.

Does anyone know how to submit questions to the reunion?

Tweet questions to Andy. (I think that's the best way).

[KungFuBunny]

I re-watched the scene of Kristen/Carole at Ricky's NYC.

 

She said:

Josh was in an EBoost meeting and my name came up.  Ricky's said we would love to do something with Kristen. Josh...well she likes nail polish. Ricky's said great let's do a nail polish line. Josh came home that night and told me and I just about fell off my chair.

 

What Kristen didn't tell us was that when Josh came home he stuffed her right ear with cotton and a cork, spoke into her left ear so that when he told her his idea, the thought didn't fly out the other side of her head.

 

I looked at the NY housewives twitter numbers and the ladies who started at the same time as Kristen

Carole 196,000 followers

Heather 155,000 followers

Kristen 66,000 followers

 

Dorinda newbie - 15,000 followers

 

If Kristen's nail polish line does well it will be DESPITE her name being attached to the product. She does not have a big fan base. I know bloggers and video bloggers non celebrities that have bigger fan bases. Ricky's in NYC - there are about 15 stores. They have 2 stores in Florida and 2 stores in NJ...I don't know if they exist in other states. I doubt that all 66,000 of her followers will be buying the nail polish. In NYC, most women go to the nail salon weekly...they pick from the colors available at the salon. They will go to a store if needed to buy the teeny bottle of that brand/color - to use as a touch up in case they need it before their next manicure. If Ricky's can convince a crap load of nail salons to carry the brand then she has a shot at this being lucrative. If there is nothing special about her nail polish such as quick drying, or the one that lasts longer...or nothing that makes it unique other than color....it will flop.

 

For Kristen's clear top coat...she should call it Invisible Me

 

 

 

 

 

[Deputy Deputy CoS]

What I got from this episode. Mean, rude and dismissive is Okay as long it is directed to someone we deem irrelevant or boring. Those two things are worse than the afore mention.

 

I'll never ask why a reality "star" is an asshole. It is what the audience want and cheer for apparently.

 

 

  But Andy and the editors have their thumbs on the scale to favor Bethenny so she can be grossly, unnecessarily mean and we're *all* supposed to cheer

 

Sure. Why not? Kristen is nothing according to many.

Kristin has no way to fight about anyone saying she's not smart.....it's been in her tag line for years now.   

Remember that scene where Ramona scolded Sonja about always having a notebook?  I was so proud of her at the summit.   She had one and started taking notes!!!!

 

I think I might watch a show about Bethenny's life and her business.   They'd need to find some stronger people to be on with her tho, I don't want to watch her beat the crap out of her assistants.    I did love her pitching a fit over them not having Skinnygirl sweetener on the refreshment table.   If she could put some kind of wacky office team together, she could pull of the Jeff Lewis/Flipping Off crazy.   She missed a great opportunity--she used Frederick as her real estate agent--she should have brought Jeff in to do her interiors once she bought the apartment.   They are good together--maybe if she gets a spin-off.

Bethenny if you're reading, I live in MA and I really like your stevia sweetener but none of the stores I shop in  have it--can you get someone on that?

[Rahul]

I had to read that back (Bethenny's blog), because I couldn't believe she called herself a star. That's Nene Leakes-level ego right there.

 

I disagree. That's the standard industry term for someone who appears in a reality TV show, just as thousands upon thousands of girls who appear in pornos are referred to as porn stars. Neither situation really warrants usage of the word "star." However its usage is not necessarily any indicator of an inflated ego. 

[janeyma]

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.)

[Grneyedldy]

Out of curiousity, have any of the women on the RH shows ever really successfully launched a product that was created after they became a RH?  The Skinny Girl was already in the works before Bethenney became famous and that's a product line that makes sense. Heather already had Yummie.  

 

But seems like there are a shitload of wines that the RH jump on.  Vicky/Tamra with their wine selections, Ramona with her wine, and now the latest to jump in Brandi.  Ramoana had a skin care line, Gretchen Rossi with her beauty and handbag line...I feel like there are manufacturers out there that love to find a Housewife that wants her own vanity line and willing to sink a ton of dough into a business so they can say they have a business.  But in reality, they are putting the dough in a generic product and a label that has their name.  I have a hard time believing any of these idiots are really hands-on business partners who are involved in every aspect of their own label.

Dear God, the only thing Brandi should be peddling is a tampon string shield. It could be peel and stick. Lol. Yes, I'm obsessed. I quit watching RHBH after seeing those pictures. I am scarred. Still, I'm thinking a peel and stick tampon string shield thingy that she just slaps on her twat before leaving the house, would be like a public service for mankind.

[KungFuBunny]

Usually when I watch Bethenny and she goes into her whiny, weepy stages....I just tune her out.

 

Last night's episode, and her conversation with Heather at Ramona's AOA event....she made me nuts. Someone get a qualude, liquify it and inject it into her butt STAT. She reminded me of a rambling homeless person pushing a shopping cart down Broadway. I was so ready to Cher./Moonstruck her and slap her and say Snap out of it!

 

She really seemed like she was on something and her doctor needs to tweak the dosage.

 

However...in the earlier scene with Kristen she did make me LOL.. When Kristen shouted for her to come back and she said Um,,,,no...I cracked up.

 

Heather even though I don't like your alligator smirk and find you to be phony...you handled Bethenny like a pro. Let Looptee Loo ramble, keep your mouth shut, smile and she will go away.

[AnnA]

It didn't sound crazy to me. I found it be a hilarious hyperbole. Everyone keeps telling her that Heather is just a "fixer", a "nurturer", so B was taking that "nurturing" portrayal and running with it. It made sense to me, whereas Al Sharpton....I still have no clue what that had to do with anything?

LOL. I thought it was hilarious too. It's also one of the reasons I enjoy Bethenny so much. She's witty and quick. Not everyone appreciates that but I sure do.

Kristin is a NMFF. I'm glad Bethenny decided to just disengage. It cracked me up to see a literal "girl, bye" moment.

Not everyone thinks Bethenny is witty.  Motor-mouthed and a nasty piece of work who does not deign to check herself, if I may borrow one of Bethenny's 1996 phrases (wait, lemme blow off the dust so I don't trigger an asthma attack and hey, here's my "Macarena" cassingle!), though?  Absolutely.

They have tampon string shields, though they aren't peel and stick.  They are called "underwear" or "panties," lol.  Not that Brandi (or Sonja) would know much about those!

[LotusFlower]

I love his recaps, and I agreed with pretty much every single thing he said. I love them especially because like me he was a Beth fan before this season and had been looking forward to her return.

So I just read his recap and also agree with every word. (And thank you for introducing me to Vulture last year). His opening paragraph on how Bethenny has changed is so on-the-money, and really stood out to me because of a scene I remember from one of the spinoffs after the sale of Skinnygirl. Bethenny was talking to someone and saying that people have told her she had changed, and she acknowledged that money changes things, but in her estimation - she was still the same, it's others who are now different around her. I remember being taken aback that she couldn't even entertain the possibility that a huge life change in her life could affect her!. Instead, her thinking was to look at (and criticize) others.

And this was all years ago - even before the events that have resulted in the on-the-edge person we're seeing currently. I thought her changed personality was most on display in the scene at the restaurant with LuAnn. Her behavior in the Berkshires was something, and LuAnn was just checking in. But Bethenny went on the attack, in a way that I thought was not only cruel and mean, but also bizarre and paranoid. It's almost hard to watch.

Ooooh...another great idea for a future Countess Luanne Statement necklace...since go big is better we won't use hanging tampons...we'll use Maxi Overnight Kotex with wings. Since they are super absorbant this is perfect for the summer...the necklace has a dual purpose and can be used to dry your boob sweat

[WireWrap]

Does anyone know how to submit questions to the reunion?

Near the end of the season, Andy puts up a post on his FB page asking for reunion questions. Keep a watch during the last 2- 3 episodes, that is when it is normally posted. You can also tweet him questions during that time but not before, otherwise he ignores them. I have no doubts that he will have Bethenny back on WWHL before the season is over and you could send/tweet your question for then as well.

[film noire]

 Tsk, tsk to Carole for being the messenger..

 

 

If I were Kristin --  and we hadn't already clearly (and badly) blocked out the conversation (I hate it when the Housewives Rep Theatre doesn't rehearse enough for A Big Scene!) -- I'd have had a comeback for Carole in hand, because I'd be pretty pissed at her & not just Bethenny.  Carole was reduced to a state of perplexity --  "I didn't know what to say!"  over Bethenney's "dumb" comment? Really? Cuz that comment is only a stumper if you DO think Kristin is dumb; minus that, a simple "I don't think Kristin is dumb and I'm sure they investigated the trademark issue" gets the job done. 

 

because Heather was acting like a helicopter mom.  A mean helicopter mom.  A Helicopter Mommy Dearest that will eat her young with her crocodile teeth.

 

Ha! -- like a Black Hawk Down helicopter mom?

Kristen  mentally puts herself in that position that she has to wait for Bethany and is upset when "baby is put in the corner"  rather than not giving one flippity fuck if Bethany speaks to her or not and write her off.  She is a pound puppy who wants to be loved an not a Doberman who demands respect, such as Dorinda. At this point in filming If Kristen was mad, rather than start with the niceties, and go into the scatter brained  "googling me" crap she should have just walked over, flat out said, and not let Bethany get a word in edgewise, "I just heard you've been talking about me. One, I do have the patent on "Pop of color" and two, you are damn stupid to make assumptions about my intelligence when you don't even  know me. Keep you're damn mouth shut. If you wanna act like a bitch I'll treat you like a bitch." then walk off. Bethany will sthink "What the F#*$!" and know Carole shot her mouth off."

 

Kristen may be as dumb as dirt but if she won't take any crap and stands up for herself she will still have respect.

From Bryan Moylan's Vulture piece:

 

[bethenny] fights and screeches and lets people know what she will and will not talk about, and generally tries to commandeer every interaction that she has with any single person.

 

All I could think about was how Kelly did the same thing on Scary Island - refusing to participate in conversations, telling people what they should and shouldn't be talking about, dismissing them all as "weird" and "creepy." Symmetry!

And isn't that funny that it was Bethenny that so much of Kelly's ire was directed at?  (forgive the ending with a preposition, I'd be here all night trying to figure out how to compose it differently)  "you're not a CHEF, you're a COOK" and what not.  

[kassa]

 

I'm just coming from a place of caring!

[film noire]

I wish so much this would happen, and that she'd get called out on the ongoing "I'm so fragile right now" thing.

(snip only for space)

 

I'm starting to think Heather is just green-eyed jealous of all the attention Bethenny is getting, and Heather's interior monologue in every scene with B is some variation on,  "Why'd you come back on the show, biatch? I was Queen B until you showed back up, with your business empire in one skinny girl hand, and a getting-my-shit-together storyline in the other, befriending Sonja after I reduced her to a pile of shit, and making with the jokes right, left and and center -- knowing when I smile, I look like I'm about to unhinge my jaw and swallow the nearest Housewife whole -- why you gotta hate, playah? -- and I got no storyline unless I dog you like Huckleberry Hound in a skully -- the only thing I live for now is the bitter taste of unearned apologies flowing from you -- and you think you got problems? Oh shut up and check yo’self, cuz I just lost me a nanny! Of nine years! Took me that long to"fix" her so she'd do what she was told, every second of the day, and now I gotta  motherfucking deal with a motherfucking human being again - someone with intact boundaries and a sense of self separate from my barked orders and cult-like hand-grabbing technique to subdue signs of independence  --  AND THAT, MAMA, IS SOME SERIOUS ASS MOTHERFUCKING REAL SHIT, STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, FIFTH AVENUE STYLE!"

 

Or something like that.

I never jumped on the Kristin train because I couldn't stand the way she argues.  She just wouldn't stop interrupting and she was too busy forming her next sentence instead of actually listening to what the other person was saying.  Bethenny can be a total bitch, but I was glad to see her walk away from Kristin because I feared Kristin would pull the same old crap in a fight with Bethenny.  These women hang on to every little slight for much too long, but Kristin does it in a way that bothers me.  Knowing Kristin's personality, she must have felt rage by Bethenny's rejection.

 

I like Dorinda, she's normal.  Not perfect, but seems sane.  Avery is a doll.  Carole is having a great time doing this show.  I wonder if she is secretly writing a book about being on a reality show with a bunch of crazy women.

[KungFuBunny]

Poor Sonja at the Skinny Girl Summit

 

She was absolutely frozen...I do wonder how many hours they shot.

A fellow poster on another board said she was in shock/disappointed cause she was hoping for some alcohol/leisurely lunch.

 

Was she writing notes to show her swami pharmaceutical therapist? Was she upset she couldn't name drop here cause someone might call her out?

 

Me - I'm waiting for her tooth to fall out again so I can watch her superglue them back on....sadly it still hasn't happenned and we are 10 episodes in.

 

[Giselle]

What is with Carole's "Oop, did I do that?" behavior this season? It's unbecoming of a woman her age to be doing that; it's not cute.

 

I agree but when has Carole acted her age this season?

You must've missed the part where I said it made me laugh.

Nope.  I read it just fine. I took that to mean you were laughing at her because she spoke incorrectly. If I assumed that falsely, I stand corrected.

 

When Beth said the whole spiel to Luann about Heather rocking her and breastfeeding her, Lu was like whoa whoa whoa-- and the realization truly dawned upon her that Bethenny really is an asshole.

 

Ha yea I think she knew. She just needed a refresher.  And whooo boy did she get one.

I think actors like Meryl Streep,  Morgan Freeman (my fav) , Robert De Niro, Jeff Bridges, Cicely Tyson and so many more good actors refer to themselves as movie stars, right?  ;)

 

In the Urban Dictionary, a Reality Star is defined as a Talentless Hack.  lol

I think Andy is ready to cut Kristen I believe. Shes hasnt been on most of this season. Not to mention she hasnt made her marriage a storyline like she did last season. Now she "upsetting" his BFF Bethenny and has "made her cry" because Bethenny doesnt want to deal with being confronted so she feels "attacked".

Oh Kristen I think this is the end, girlfriend. You will be the new scapegoat why the show sucks and why you didnt kiss Bethenny's ass hard enough for Andy's liking. I foresee it.

I think it's fairly easy for reality stars to be self-referential without calling themselves a star. Lots of them do it.

Here's the sentence from Bethenny's blog: "Although I'm a reality star, I don't always want the attention on me." Here's how easy it is to word it differently: "Although I'm on a reality show, I don't always want the attention on me." Come to think of it, option #2 is exactly how so many of us, and blog recaps, have expressed the same sentiment.

[Trooper York]

We are just lucky that Kristen finally figured out what product she was going to pimp this season. You see she had misheard Josh and told everyone that was coming out with a new Polish line and said it would feature pirogies and stuffed cabbage in interesting and vibrant colors. 

[Giselle]

I just realized something, in her own way Bethany is Kim Richards. She dictates what she will and will not talk about. She shuts down other people. She for the most part doesn't have normal relationships. Her addiction is being a "Reality Star". She is a mental mess and should take some time off away from Reality TV until her house is in order and she isn't so emotionally raw.

[Trooper York]

Of course Kristen was disappointed that she couldn't talk to Bethenny about her new line of Polish food.

 

You see Bethenny hasn't eaten anything that she didn't throw up since 2007.

They will go to a store if needed to buy the teeny bottle of that brand/color - to use as a touch up in case they need it before their next manicure. If Ricky's can convince a crap load of nail salons to carry the brand then she has a shot at this being lucrative. If there is nothing special about her nail polish such as quick drying, or the one that lasts longer...or nothing that makes it unique other than color....it will flop.

 

For Kristen's clear top coat...she should call it Invisible Me

 

KungFu Bunny you are lethal!

Err....is that bad???....I wanted this as my avatar but it doesn't fit

 

 

Kristen doesn't bring anything to the show for me. The only funny thing she said was her first season where she described Ramona/Sonja as the 2 crazy drunk aunts...got nothin else for her

We are just lucky that Kristen finally figured out what product she was going to pimp this season. You see she had misheard Josh and told everyone that was coming out with a new Polish line and said it would feature pirogies and stuffed cabbage in interesting and vibrant colors. 

Mmmmmm now THAT'S a Howives marketing scheme I could stand behind!

And now I'm hungry....

Kristen  mentally puts herself in that position that she has to wait for Bethany and is upset when "baby is put in the corner"  rather than not giving one flippity fuck if Bethany speaks to her or not and write her off.  She is a pound puppy who wants to be loved an not a Doberman who demands respect, such as Dorinda. At this point in filming If Kristen was mad, rather than start with the niceties, and go into the scatter brained  "googling me" crap she should have just walked over, flat out said, and not let Bethany get a word in edgewise, "I just heard you've been talking about me. One, I do have the patent on "Pop of color" and two, you are damn stupid to make assumptions about my intelligence when you don't even  know me. Keep you're damn mouth shut. If you wanna act like a bitch I'll treat you like a bitch." then walk off. Bethany will sthink "What the F#*$!" and know Carole shot her mouth off."

 

 

Or here's an idea - 

Carole: "Bethenny said you're a dumb bitch who didn't get a patent for your doomed nail polish collection!"

Kristen: "She did? Oh god, who gives a shit? Are you ready for another martini?"

 

This is the way it would go if Kristen were a confident, self-possessed business woman. But, she is not. She is a dim witted, dull woman on a reality show who is desperate for airtime. 

NEXT!
