The Real Housewives of NYC Episode 12 Recap: A Mental Meltdown

real-housewives-of-new-york-city-kelly-bensimon-goes-psycho

“The four of us are actually sane and she’s crazy, and now we’re picking on her.”Sonja Morgan

“Best episode ever & worst episode too in a way.”Simon Van Kempen.

Those are two powerful quotes. Last night’s episode of the Real Housewives of New York City was absolutely the best and the worst. The Hills is not real, Spencer Pratt’s alleged meltdown on the Hills is not real. What you watched on the Real Housewives of NYC last night was real, very real. Too real perhaps.

What I and other millions of viewers watched was a complete and total mental breakdown from what I will assume is a very mentally ill person. I don’t even know how to proceed with this recap. Last week’s episode was more of a Kelly Bensimon is coo coo crazy kinda thing, but somewhere along last night’s episode, Kelly being crazy took a dark turn into Kelly being mentally ill, and something about that is quite troubling.

And what’s worse than the madness we all just watched on television? Well according to Bethenny, Ramona and Alex. What was shown on TV was actually very tame in comparison to what actually took place that night. “Truth be told, what aired was very tame compared to what actually happened. I think that to air the full scope of it would terrify the viewers. We were truly terrified ourselves,” blogged Bethenny. Must say I can’t imagine kelly possibly being worse than what we just watched.

So why don’t I have any sympathy for Kelly, someone who I believe might be mentally ill, something not of her doing? Well I’m not quite sure. For one, I can’t relate to this woman in any way, shape, or form. She acts like a robot and seems to have the IQ of an 8 year old. I can’t relate and comprehend to the the way she acts or the moronic things she says. And reason number #2 why I can’t seem to muster up any sympathy is because she continued to be the aggressor and attacker in last night’s episode. She also seems to have no remorse for her insane behavior and continues to blame others. She blames Bethenny and Bravo for how she came across. She also continues to attack Bethenny, even accusing her of exploiting her father’s death for ratings. It’s funny that Kelly says she is scared of Bethenny, when in reality Bethenny should be the scared party. Kelly seems to have an unhealthy obsession with Bethenny and I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that Kelly holds Bethenny responsible for 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, her divorce, etc

Going into this vacation from hell, one would think the women would pick on Kelly and treat her badly. The irony turned out to be that these women, who are usually drama prone, seemed to genuinely want a drama free vacation, despite Kelly’s constant attempts to bring the drama. Kelly was the one who picked on the women from the get go, and made certain to attack every single one of them. The women at every single attempt tried to calm her down, be nice to her, and tried to have a good time. But Kelly would not stop, and was very combative and defensive.

Some things to point out in this episode, Kelly, while on the phone with Jill, said Bethenny’s gift bag to her was impersonal. And in case you’re wondering, this is the same gift bag with her initials on it. Evidently the lunatic in Kelly can’t grasp that this was an attempt by Bethenny to make amends. Kelly, who has breast implants, bad wonky ones at that, then goes on to make fun of Bethenny’s “Fake D tits,” thus giving us our first pot meet kettle moment.

And then it’s breakfast time and Kelly decides to bring a complaints pad to the ladies telling them to write down their complaints like they do in the fourth grade. Huh what? Kelly has offered to take photos of the ladies, but Bethenny decides to skip out on the crazy show. During the photo shoot, Kelly creepily tells Alex to channel her son Johan while trying to take sexy bikini pictures.

Moving on to the dinner from hell. Kelly who is already channeling a nut with her uncombed hair, decides to talk on her cell phone during dinner in front of the ladies, which rubs Ramona the wrong way. Once again, the ladies attempt to make nice with Kelly, who continues to take jabs and once again make mention of Bethenny being or not being a chef. Kelly then mentions in her interview that Bethenny is always on defense and is psychotic. And thanks to the psych class I took sophomore year in college, I can confidently proclaim this is what is known as “Projection.”

The dinner from hell continues, and Kelly continues to be defensive, combative, and all around nuts. The ladies continue to try to diffuse the situation and make the best of things. Ramona brings up the fact that Jill has not called her, and Kelly once again goes insane while trying to defend Jill. Kelly decides the ladies are all making “white noise” and that she will just text.

Ramona then takes the time to try to apologize to Bethenny about the very rude comments she made while they both walked the Brooklyn bridge a while back. To which Kelly once again rudely interrupts and says “I don’t know what happened. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Only to declare later that Ramona had told her she made Bethenny cry. Kelly proceeds to ask Ramona, “Are you going to sit on her lap? Are you two going to make out with the tongue? Uhh? What are we in the 8th grade? “Make out with ‘the tongue?’” Really Kelly? You know what, I take that back. Saying she’s in the 8th grade is a grave insult to all the 8th graders of the world. But apparently in Kelly lala cartwheel land, two women sitting close to each other and having a conversation means they are about to make out “with the tongue.” Something tells me Kelly only has female acquaintances and zero female friends. . Ramona tells Kelly its time to take a time out, to which Kelly responds by telling Ramona to “zip it.”

Bethenny and Ramona walk away and Bethenny feels vindicated as she finally feels everybody sees the same insanity she’s always seen in Kelly. Ramona feels Kelly is “nuts” and Bethenny thinks something’s wrong and it might not be Kelly’s fault. With Bethenny gone, Kelly decides its time to attack Alex. Kelly then brings up her nightmares about Bethenny and declares that Bethenny tried to kill her in both her dreams and in real life. But that’s not all folks! Kelly goes on to tell Alex that she challenged the devil and a vampire when she delivered B’s message to Jill earlier on.

The ladies with the exception of Sonja take a time out away from Kelly, and Kelly doesn’t realize she just insulted Alex. After a few minutes alone with Kelly. Sonja realizes something is really wrong. “I’m not a doctor but something’s wrong,” says Sonja in her interview. Kelly then calls Bethenny Al Sharpton and accuses her of attacking her friend Gwyneth. You know the actress Gwyneth Paltrow aka Kelly’s friend in her head. Kelly takes a time out and then runs back out with jelly beans and lollipops, and asks the ladies to calm down.

“Your dad passed away, and you’re like here. ITS CREEPY!” says Kelly to Bethenny. “Go to sleep, go to sleep! YOU’RE CRAZY!” yells out a very frustrated Bethenny. Right in front of Kelly, Sonja declares she has a chemical imbalance. and that they are being mean to a crazy person. And just like that, along with the viewers at home, the ladies seem to have a light bulb moment as well when they realize this person in front of them might just be mentally ill.

Reading Bethenny’s post about this might give you a better perspective of what the ladies went through with Kelly –

“I have to be honest. I felt for a few years now that I was seeing something in Kelly that I couldn’t believe others couldn’t see. I grew up in an insane asylum, so I can sense when someone is unstable from the beginning. I have seen signs of Kelly’s erratic behavior for years now, and of course there was the domestic violence charge with her ex boyfriend. Things like that just don’t happen to people. A large part of me feels sorry for her and sincerely thinks she should not be participating in a reality show environment. I don’t think she can resist the temptation of the attention it brings regardless of the fact that it may not be good for her. Reality television is very stressful under the most normal circumstances.

For a brief period, it was the most eventful dinner party I’ve ever hosted, however, it took a scary, dramatic turn and we wanted to diffuse the situation. I realized that I needed to reel it in because this wasn’t normal or healthy for anyone. Truth be told, what aired was very tame compared to what actually happened. I think that to air the full scope of it would terrify the viewers. We were truly terrified ourselves, and I must point out that none of us came home from that trip and told anyone about what went on there. We understood how serious it was and we were all scared. That night when I went to bed, I was legitimately scared for my safety as well as Kelly’s. I know Alex felt the same. It was a completely horrendous trip and experience. That is the God’s honest truth.”

And now back to Sonja’s quote above. “The four of us are actually sane and she’s crazy, and now we’re picking on her.” Kelly is 100% crazy, no more doubts in my mind. I guess the question now is are we picking on mentally ill person? Either way, this woman is in dire need of help and I’m pretty certain for the first time in my life, I just saw mental illness up close, thanks to Bravo.

Just to show you what others who watched the show thought of Kelly, below is a screen shot taken last night of the searches that came into our site via search engines.

By the way, we received thousands and thousands of those searches yesterday. My theory on the whole situation? I truly believe Kelly has a mental illness/chemical imbalance of some sort and simply forgot to take her medication along with her. That’s just my take on the whole issue.

UPDATE: Bethenny also mentions in her blog that she called Jill out of concern for Kelly, but Jill didn’t seem too interested in helping her new friend –

“I also need to point out that I called Jill that night to tell her that Kelly was in trouble. She didn’t seem very concerned, and as you will see next week, she was more consumed by her own agenda than Kelly’s health. That is a whole separate issue.

Jill came to St. John because she wanted a grand entrance and to ensure that she wasn’t absent in three episodes. Her excuse that she came to see me was laughable. St. John is very difficult to get to and I literally lived a block away from her. Stopping by my building would have been infinitely easier. You all know the real story there.”

TELL US: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE RECAP? THE EPISODE? DO YOU BELIEVE KELLY IS MENTALLY ILL?

    OKAY OKAY!! I WILL TRY THE FREAKIN POST AGAIN BUT ONLY IN WORD!!

    LMFAO at the complete comedy randomness of IJS, Dyana, joan, RLM. This $hit is more entertaining than most of the inane crap I watch on TV. Cheeks…sore…from…laughing…

    At Eva #175 & 176- Thank you! And sure, I will post it if it’s welcome. What is her new blog?

    Wallflower #183- I totally agree with u. It’s unfortunate that women- particularly women who happen to have something going for them (intelligence, beauty, talent, etc.), have this constant perceived threat or competition mentality. And normally it turns out to be imagined or at least highly exaggerated. Not to go all Spice Girl Power, but it would be great if women stuck together instead of looking for ways to tear each other down… Hahahaha! Who am I kidding? We wouldn’t have this 3 ring circus of estrogen dysfunction that is our beloved RH if that happened so never mind. Commence to clawing each other’s effin’ eyeballs out ladies!!!

    At Jessica #198 and Wendy #199- LMFAO!!! Amazing…that broad is so clueless that she is ACCIDENTALLY ironic.

  3. I’ve seen this kind of meltdown before and I’m quite sure Kelly is mentally ill. The problem is that she’s also a despicable human being. All she does is walk around talking about how fabulous she is and how much better than everyone else she is. Apparently, some of the little local magazines in NY and the Hamptons pay her to brag about her life and name drop, so at least she’s found niche somewhere.

    They need to drop her from the show immediately. She adds nothing to it and she’s a danger to Bethenny and Alex at the very least. Her insane rants are continuing on line and in the press all these months after that meltdown. She still has no insight into her own behavior and she still can’t understand simple jokes or idioms, which is why she doesn’t like Bethenny, who is all jokes and wisecracks.

    Kelly is sick but she’s also shallow, mean and stupid. I have compassion for anyone who is mentally ill, but that doesn’t make up for her being obnoxious. I’m sick of hearing how real, how authentic, how charitable, how honest she is and how much integrity she has. Someone really needs to take her aside and tell her that saying these things out loud makes her an a–hole.

    Morgaine- Agreed. Is it a possibility that Kelly is truly ill? Of course. Just like maybe Tiger Woods really is a sex addict and Britney Spears really is bi-polar. Or…maybe Tiger is a just man-whore who CHOSE not to control himself and knew that he would still get paid and have a career no matter what he did. Or…maybe Britney is just a filthy rotten spoiled brat who KNEW that acting crazy would give her “edge”, press and have people rooting for her when she came out with her next album (which included a song about threesomes…).

    I think us “normal” non-celeb people can be pretty compassionate and want to believe that anyone who behaves the way Kelly did at dinner, could not possibly be responsible for it. The woman MUST have an illness she can not control. Unfortunately, to repeat myself, I believe that just because a person acts crazy, doesn’t mean that they are. Sometimes they are just a self-absorbed douchebag. And yes…of course everyone knows that there are different levels of illness that are not recognizable to the untrained, like myself. I just don’t buy it with Kelly. IMHO, she behaves less like she is suffering from something that she is unable to control and more like someone who chooses to control what she shows to the outside world at anytime. And really- that’s what most of us do. We don’t throw a grownup-tantrum at our cubicle, then go and set the boss’ desk on fire because…it’s inappropriate. We don’t sucker punch the chick who gets our order wrong at McDonald’s because…it’s inappropriate. That doesn’t mean we don’t have the URGE to do those things. For the most part, we have to exercise self-control or pay the price (prison anyone?).

    In Hollyweird, there always seems to be some psychosis to explain away the crappy behavior of celebs. In our “normal” non-celeb world…mmm…not so much. Perhaps it is because we are not rewarded for acting in ways that would embarrass the living daylights out of our parents…?!

    So I click on a Lost article tonight, asking what people thought of the finale, and this is the first comment on the post:

    Did anyone catch the credits? “Written by Kelly Killoran Bensimone” Now it DOES make sense.

    So of course I scurry right over here to throw it out there. Laughing my arse off.

  6. Jill is probably breathing a sigh of relief right now because all of this Kelly madness is taking the onus off of her!

    isnt it funny hoe Bravos editing can make you popular Alex and her creepy wife were always on the bottom and for her to get pissed about Jill talking about her kids my be they should teach them some manners remember the dinner and the hambuger not to mention the climbing up the guys leg it was funny but my kids would never have acted like that in public on this its funny how they havent been on but 1 small clipp in 1st show mybe she wised up about showing her kids on tv
    Bethenny keeps calling Kelly crazy but she not to sane didnt she threaten Jill if she didnt shut up she was going to stab her in the eye with a fork thats crazy sane peope doint talk like that to there friends also no one called her on it either also her little one liners are getting old last year the first couple were funny but its old move
    Jill just needs to shut up besides fighting with Bethenny her game is still the same that every one loved so much last season and gave her the big head to carry it on that now everyone hates well i hated it last season she was annoying
    Ramona is just plan nuts from head to toe this lady is a mess i wanted to throw up seeing her in that bikinni my god if she worked out as much as she brags about where did that gut come from im not sure how her husand could have stayed with her for 17 years unless hes just as crazy
    Sonja not enough time to early to tell next season will probly be differnt for her Bravos editing will build you up then pound you down

  9. Ya know, it’s kinda hard to read without punctuation. I’m sure that there is a valid point in there somewhere, but I don’t know what words go with what and what words form complete phrases and/or sentences…

    I’ve thought several times that Kelly could have staged this whole thing as part of her attempt to get back at Betheny for last season. Remember during the show about picking models for Brooklyn Fashion Week(end) when Kelly said “I called a truce – I called it OVER Over” (or something to that end), yet on the yacht, Kelly told Bethany that she needed to stop bringing up the past?

    I think that the first lunch really set the tone when she started her defense of Jill’s behavior at the previous get-togethers. When she saw that the ladies were a united front, I think that she decided right there and then that they were gonna be in for a rough ride. She just isn’t able to hold her own with them on a rational intellectual basis, and if the only way she can become part of the fabric of the episode is to become the ‘elephant in the room’, then that is what she did. Sonia is such a mothering, nurturing person and wants to have everyone playing nicely together and Kelly took advantage of that trait. By aligning herself with Jill and LuAnn, Kelly thought that she was “IN” this season – afterall, Jill and LuAnn are the pack’s dominant female and her lackey, so by aligning herself with those two, she most likely felt that she had a place in the show nailed down pat. She certainly didn’t count on all of the outside drama that came down the path, and maybe she began to see that being aligned with J & L wasn’t perhaps the best move. Perhaps she felt that she had to try to find another way to remain relevant. She may have felt that her place was in jeopardy and this was the way to cement that place – she has a major story-line and is guaranteed to appear in the remainder of the episodes. She is also banking on the “Crazy” tag that she acquired. If you remain oppositional and defiant and on the attack, spout random nonsense at inappropriate times, throw in some crocodile tears, a few kartwheels and summersaults and BINGOBANGO (not banjo lawns), she becomes “Infamous” which is what she is obsessed with, right?! Anyway, I’m certain of only one thing – I’m going to watch the reunion show and all of the remaining episodes a bit more closely. She has certainly found a means of “stealing the show” and making certain that she is the center of attention – but, is she loosing her allies now? How long will Jill stand beside her, LuAnn has already begun the process of distancing herself – makes you wonder just what else is in store for us, doesn’t it?! Admit it – WE ARE HOOKED!

  10. The look on Bethenny’s face at dinner showed that she was scared. I would have been scared to sleep in the same house as Kelly. I was surprised that Bethenny said in her blog that she had called Jill because she was concerned about Kelly. True to form Jill was not concerned about Kelly. Why would she be? I am convinced that Jill was the one that put all the evil thoughts in her head about the other ladies. If Kelly wants to blame anyone for her actions it should be Jill. They both need professional help.

    In my opinion Kelly is crazy all this talk of her’s about being bullied is nuts. She was the bully on the show. I really think Bravo needs to get her off the show. If nothing else for the safety of the other ladies.

  11. i doint think she is scared i do think she is used to someone
    standing up to her and takeing her crap she is usually the one that is yelling at somebody glad to see someone stand up to her the other ones will kiss her ass to be on her new show doint give it a second thought that bravo will edit B to be so sweet and nice

  12. RH-NY Season 3 Episode 12: US. Virgin Islands Part 2

    Reality show ??? – not really
    THE BIG DRAMA SCENES ARE STAGED and some reactions are spontaneous.

    From the beginning, I have been saying that bravo stages catfights. In Season 1, they all bashed Alex and Simon. In Season2, they all ganged up on Kelly. This year, it was Jill-the-villainess and Kelly-the-cuckoo-clock … once again Beotchenny
    sails out of season3 unscathed … why??? b/c she’s bravo’s cash cow.

    No, it wasn’t Jill who was providing Kelly the fuel to fight w/Beotchenny, it was actually the bravo producers feeding her lines … making up stories to confront the B, in order to have somewhat real reactions (explosions on the receiving end)
    over dinner.

    STAGED SCENE: Breakfast with Santa Claws (the show was taped late November)
    First fuel to the fire: Kelly questioning B’s culinary skills. Well, that sent the A-type motor-mouth lunatic personality into a tailspin.
    OMG, I have to prove to these bitches that I can actually cook.
    OMG where is my Prozac???
    OMG, I can’t have a skinnygirl margarita for seven months.

    Bethenny manages to tear up blaming it all on hormones, when just a few minutes earlier she was ready to pounce on Kelly for how dare she call her a cook!

    STAGED SCENE: Bethenny playing Santa Claws on Scary Island
    CLUE: Kelly is the only one seen retrieving Bethenny’s self-promo (I mean thoughtful) gift bag. God only knows Ramona and Bethenny advertised their products shamelessly, in this episode. Sonja showing off Mona’s jewelry, oy vei.

    B could have easily given the ladies thank-you gifts in person at the table. Why play Santa delivering presents in the middle of the night? b/c it was staged for Kelly’s next meltdown scene.

    STAGED SCENE: Ladies enjoying cocktails and B’s salsa dips
    Kelly [supposedly] talking on her cell phone was staged, so that RudeMona could yell at her and say SEE???
    She’s crazy in front B. Otherwise, why was it OK for Alex to get a text message from hubby at breakfast time (Atlantic Standard Time so St. Johns is at least 2 hrs ahead of NY eastern time)
    a not OK for Kelly to answer a call from her daughter???Again, all planned for the crescendo Crazy Kelly moment after dinner.

    STAGED SCENE: Infamous Kelly Meltdown / Four-Against-One Dinner
    Kelly not wanting to sit in front of B or eat her food (can’t blame her for that). RudeMona taking the untouched crab cake from Kelly so not to hurt B’s feelings … can u say kiss-ass Ramona so that she could get invited to B’s wedding?

    I guess Beotchenny was really trying to kill Kelly by serving raw food (beef w/ string around it). Beotchenny rudely takes Kelly’s plate away so she can finish cooking the stake; she then starts spewing nonsense (probably to the ‘real’ chef-de-cuisine) about,
    “it’s not a big deal, it’s only food, it’s not life …no one died (not yet anyway)”

    It was a scene right out the Stepford Wives, when Faith Hill’s character runs out of juice and starts spinning out of control … like a robot.

    Any time the cameras would pan over to RudeMona, her pinot grigio glass was being refilled or her own crazy eyes were looking even crazier as she would mimic to the others that Kelly was losing it.

    Notice how Kelly’s hair was becoming messier, as the evening wore on, as she was [supposedly] becoming more and more dazed and confused by the minute.

    Another tactic was for all the housewives to talk at the same time, in order to create more chaos and confusion in the room. Sonja (I’m sorry to say, since I was starting to like her) was also ganging up on Kelly by trying to be on B’s side.

    Turtle Time Ladies taking breaks between scenes to check w/producers.

    STAGED EPISODE 12 FINALE
    Notice Kelly’s face at the end of that scene, after everyone agreed to be nice and not try to antagonize her anymore
    and embarrass her in front of the cameras. That spelled relief to me, “and cut …that’s a wrap” was probably heard next
    from the director.

    Summary
    I know the RH-NY all signed up for this and are probably getting 450K(more or less) per season.
    - Do I think Kelly is actually crazy? NO. If she had a ‘real’ nervous breakdown, the producers would have contacted a Dr. (not Jill)
    - Do I think Bethenny and Jill’s brake-up is real? NO, but as Ramona once put it, Bethenny has no friends and will mess up her relationship w/Jason also.
    - Do I think that bravo instigated fights to have another memorable season? Absolutely. The reactions were probably unrehearsed/unscripted (except for Kelly and B’s gift bag overkill), but the fuel was definitely Drama by Bravo.

    Can’t wait for the reunion shows.

    Sorry I did not post sooner, post your keen take though, It’ll be appreciated.

    Could be multiple personality disorder. Could be a form of paranoid schizophrenia. Could be she was walking near Area 51 and they transported her to the mother ship and planted a chip in her brain. (not kind, I know) She seems truly to be suffering from some form of mental illness. I don’t pray for people, but am keeping her and especially her daughters in the light.

    Kelly=coo-coo
    LuAnne= Get over yourself, you weren’t born with the title Darr-ling.
    Alex= too nice and no one in her immediate circle gives her much weight and still has some nerdiness to get rid of.
    Bethenny= From what I have read of her books, a typical woman worrying about her figure and trying to make a living. A modern woman.
    Jill= A total suck up to people who she perceives as having more fame. Hence the relationship with LuAnne and now that Bethenny is going to have her own show. Well, this changes things. It’s all kissy, sorry and let’s do lunch now.

    Bobby= An ABSOLUTE jewel of a man. I feel that Jill is in it for the goodies. When Bobby was calling to receive word about his latest cancer test and they came out negative, Jill did not even kiss HIM but the damn DOG instead! She is TOTALLY using Bobby.

  16. 216
    Lizebeth

    Ramona= As crazy as her eyes

  17. Kelly Bensimon’s behavior is textbook for a former coke addict, or; a coke addict who is drinking but has no available coke on hand to sober her up. I am sadly speaking from PAST experience. The thing with drinking and doing coke is you will appear sober i.e. not sluring words, “seemingly” coherent, but you are completely s$%# face in reality.

  18. Kelly why don’t you tell us are you a man? Your entire body looks like a man. I’m more upset with you if you are a man and trying to convince us you are a woman. Yeah, you can have boobs implanted and you can take harmones but you just can’t get rid of the male look. You really are nuts if you think that Jill and Luann are your friends. They laugh and make snide remarks about you right to your face and it goes right by you. You really don’t have any friends on the show and again it is your fault. You are so whacked out 99% of the time no one will stick by you. Sonya really tried to befriend you on the trip w/Ramona but you still did not get her. See a doctor, get help soon for your childrens sake.

  19. No. Kelly is not mentally ill. She is a desperate housewife. She cannot manipulate people like she could when she was young and pretty. She has never developed much of a character and probably thinks it is easy to fool people. She broke down because she cannot handle intimacy with people.Feelings so 1979…I don’t get that ..it is a reference to something but it just shows her age. She has never said one sincere word on the show. She is a lap dog now being owned by Master Jill.
    Is she mentally ill or just mentally vapid? There’s nothing upstairs.

  20. Is it wrong that the only thing I can glean from that screen shot is that IE sucks and people are still using it. Firefox is not as popular as I thought.

    i dont think kelly is truely mentally ill. i think she is self absorbed, before reality tv, was the center of attention, in her little world, and is now totally absorbed in jealousy. she isnt intelligent enough to hang with the likes of bethenys sharp tongue and razor shearp wit. she isnt even in the same league as jill and the countess and that aint saying much. jealousy is a terrible thing but add that to kellys dim wittedness and general imaturity it comes out looking like mental illness. i mean the poor woman can barely form a sentance or figure out how to open a door!! but she is a riot to watch. so i dont feel bad watching her meltdown because no way do i think its mental. it is just hysterical!!! think she needs to move back to lala land and leave reality tv to the real women of nyc.

    “Channeling” the devil and a vampire… not challenging.

  23. i dunno ..
    kelly kinda looks like a doll compared to some of these other wifeys…

  24. cat your very astute assessment is ‘right on ‘ !!!
    reunion will be great !!

  25. i hate these shows

  26. Old term from South Jersey that my Mom uses: She’s a “Wacknut!!”

    The thing that really turned me off on the reunion show were all of the attempts to make Kelly’s behaviour seem normal. Why? Most of it was from Jill come to think of it. She must really want Kelly on the show next Season. Even Luann called it like she saw it and distanced herself.

    Yes, Kelly acted like a complete mental patient. I would have bunked with the other women in order to get any sleep because Kelly, in that condition, was downright scary. I’d bet money she thought Bethenny was going to poisen her food at the dinner party. I’ll bet that’s one of the things we missed or was cut. Paranoia is usually a prelude to violence and Im sure the ladies (as they certainly appeared to be) were Very relaxed when Kelly finally left.

    Wacknut.

    Best,

    Jenni
