Preview The Real Housewives of New York City Reunion Part 1!

Good news for Real Housewives of New York City fans as tonight is the long awaited part 1 of the reunion show. Even better news? Andy Cohen announced today that the two-part reunion show will now be a three-part show! “We’re leaving very little of the reunion on the edit room floor,” said Andy.

So part 1 will air today, part 2 will air Monday night, and the final part will air next Thursday. Another change to Bravo’s schedule is the move of the hit show Watch What Happens to Monday night, starting this coming Monday with guests Ramona Singer and Dina Manzo. This is perhaps a hint that Dina is the New Jersey housewife leaving the show.

Back to the reunion news, the ladies will of course hash things out tonight and a preview clip of Alex vs. Jill is below.

In other NYC news, it seems Jill Zarin continues to be in panic mode as she realizes with only one week left of the NYC Housewives, she is still highly hated disliked by the show fans. First Jill tried to repair her image by attempting to befriend Bethenny again, that failed, then she tried attacking Alex, that failed as well, and as we reported last week, she tried playing the victim card by revealing to her fans via facebook/twitter that she was being threatened by two families, and of course that failed as well. And by family, does Jill mean Nana and the baby are threatening her too? Well let’s all hope Jill will clear this up for wondering fans.

The latest act by Jill, who was revealed as having hired 4 media consultants in last week’s UsWeekly issue, is to try to save defend the non too sane Kelly Bensimon, while also playing the victim role once more.

In a new interview with PEOPLE magazine, Jill, who continues to do more damage everytime she opens her mouth, claims Kelly was indeed picked on by the four other housewives on the infamous St. John trip. And it doesn’t end there, as Jill also says she can relate to Kelly because she, just like Kelly, was also picked on by the four women (Bethenny, Ramona, Alex and Sonja).

Excerpts from Jill’s interview below -

What’s your take on what happened there with Kelly?
I wasn’t there but I spoke to Kelly on the phone and she was definitely having a hard time. She felt that the girls were fighting with her and picking on her. She’s not a fighter. She can’t express herself in that negative way; she just can’t defend herself.

Do you really think they were bullying her?
You know, I wasn’t there but I can tell you that what I saw on TV looks like four against one. It’s bad. It was bad because they did it to me when I got there. As a firsthand witness, when I walked in and I felt that energy of hate on me, and that only lasted about 10 minutes, if Kelly was experiencing that for four days, systematic bullying, no matter what you call it, is not okay.

So according to Jill’s distorted view, it was four against one and Kelly, who was shown being antagonistic to all the women, was the victim. Also in last week’s issue of UsWeekly was a rather odd picture of Jill holding hands with Kelly while walking the NYC streets. The mag reported the picture was taken just days after the filming of the reunion show.

Must say it’s time for Jill to fire her 4 media consultants if their big plan for her redemption is advising her to align herself with Kelly, whom is considered pretty much insane by most fans of the show. What’s even worse than Jill’s odd attempt to defend Kelly is the fact that it’s likely not genuine and likely just another bad ploy to get the public to like her once again.

And since we’re on the topic of Kelly Bensimon, who continues to remain out of touch with reality, the latest comes in a new interview during which she brags about her highly ridiculed anti-bullying PSA video. “My bullying video has gotten over 80,000 hits [Note: 69,399, but close enough],” she says. “I’ve realized I have a voice I didn’t know I had. Mock it or love it, I’m making an impact.”

Priceless that the interviewer points out her video had gotten 10,000 less hits than what she claimed. Kelly also sees the upside in appearing like a lunatic on national television. She proudly proclaims that Episode 11—her meltdown episode—is the most downloaded iTunes show “and that’s awesome.”

Moving right along. Below is a preview clip of what is to come tonight as Alex and Jill can be seen getting into it.

TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE CLIP AND PART 1 OF THE REUNION SHOW?

    Mona says Saywhat!!!

    Wallflower:

    Mona, I also want to get it set up to pulse with whatever music is playing. How can I do that? I want a lowrider

    I did some research for you. You could start with a personal vibrtr that has multi outlets. One plug to the wall, it will be like the never ending gob stopper. The second plug into your stereo, like for surround sound in order to get the complete full experience or sense round.

    Can you say Multi Pass!

  2. lmaooooooooooooo mona!!

    MULTI PASS!!! MULTI erotic.. MULTI YOWZIE!!!

    But it has to stay plugged into the wall? I’ll have to pick up a few extension cords, too, then. I’m sure I’ll be in high demand and will have to work the whole room. Snickersnicker, see what I did there, work the whole room? Where’s Sonja? She’s gonna love it!

    Well, holy shitballs. Apparently I am Bethenny. It’s weird to watch yourself on tv. I suppose it explains a lot, eh?

    You know–this is complete speculation but I am wondering if Lynn Chicago’s blog isn’t driven by her own comments? She has more comments than I’ve seen on any blog other one that is very well known, such as the NY Times.

    She gets 500+ responses to *every* blog post she makes. That’s not normal. Even articles in People don’t get that many comments–not 500. That’s very suspicious.

    I am a blogger myself and I follow many blogs that are extremely successfuly and no one gets that many comments. Think about it–how many do? And the Lynn Chicago site has been up–what, 2 months?

    This is my take. I think Lynn Chicago took the train to Crazyland with our friend Kelly. I do. I think she makes all those comments herself. Undoubtedly, some are real–but I don’t believe that a blog only 2 months old could possible garner that many comments. Perez doesn’t, The Dirty doesn’t, Reality Tea doesn’t (and she/he/whoever is a far superior writer). Chicago Lynn is not really that gifted a writer–and her blog is nothing but an ongoing, unbalanced rant. I’m never going there again, I think because I feel there’s some major instability happening.

    Yikes!

    BTW–my blog is not an entertainment blog and I don’t want Anita associated with my blog–lol–ho’wives are my guilty pleasure. and I follow many blogs. That’s why I don’t put my website on the comment thingy. :)

    Uhhmm, maybe not all Bethenny. I couldn’t ever pee in a bucket, much less in a bucket with people there and cameras to catch it for all time. My bladder be shyer than hers.

  8. Bethenny is on WWHL looking like Jesus.

  9. lmaoo mona says..

    I thought I had ya at Ever Lasting Gob Stopper!!!!

    Woman.. U didnt have me at the eva lasting gob stoppa.. i choked on it for gods sake.. just like that cherry u swallowed in the airport..

    Okay Lauren, Jill got Bethenny on the show, but she did not move her lips, write her books or cook her food. She got her on the show, she did not carve her from stone. Maybe you can help me understand where you are going. Bethenny does not owe Jill her 1st born child. She admitted that she has been comping and thanking Jill and Bobby the whole time. How much does she owe them? When is enough, enough? If you are being a generous person solely for the thanks and praise then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. If Jill were truly giving from the heart she would not be looking for a ticker tape parade afterward, thank you would be enough. I am glad she was called out today. She needs own up to her wrong. Originally Jill was my favorite but humility and as Alex stated basic civility would not be a bad fit for her right now.

  13. Hey IJS

    I can’t say her show is great. Meh..It’s ok. Still don’t think she’s important enough or her life exciting enough to have her own show. Just my opinion.

  14. THats Ok Dy!!!

    I loved it so much and maybe I just get her humor since we are of kindred spirits in the same city growing up and now she in the big city which is where I normally work.

    It may be a thing of east coast familiararity.. who knows..

    BUT I LOVED IT! Even Mr man who I dragged to NJ 10 years ago loved it .. but I do have to say he had to get acclimated.. took like 3 years.. lmaoo..

    Mona!! what say u!!!

  15. I think Mona keeled over officially from her Super 7′s or something like that. Its a drink that is Wodka, club soda and 7 up.. My brother bar tends for extra work and he pours the chit down our throats.. WHAT A GUY!!

  16. @GingerTee, Well for one you have to understand that I accept the fact that I don’t know Bethenny or Jill Zarin, therefore I have a very neutral standpoint and can only voice my opinion based on what I would or wouldn’t do. PERSONALLY it seems like Bethenny cut Jill off once she get what she wanted out of her. If you are personal friends with Bethenny Frankel, which for some reason alot of her friends think they are, then please share what really went on behind the cameras. I am going off what I saw as an outsider. I would love to hear an insider provide their two cents.

  17. @Dyana if we start cancelling shows bc people aren’t interesting enough to have a show there would be no Kardashians, that Kendra playgirl, no jersey housewives, no atlanta housewives, am I missing anyone lol

  18. To whoever said Lynn writes her own comments-
    She gets over 500 because plp comment multiple times and follow threads but mostly because JZ sucks so much plp keep venting and she keeps giving us reasons to write comments on Lynns blog. It has nothing to do with Lynns writing style it is because fans need a place to vent about JZ – thAt is how annoying she is

  19. Hey IJS..

    I get Bethenny, that’s not it.

    Just don’t think the show was all that and a bag of chips.

    Still don’t think her life is exciting enough to have her own show.

    But hey who am I .Bravo thinks so and that’s all that matters.

  20. Finally, it’s starting on the west coast!

  21. Your right Lauren..
    Just me not thinking she is all that. But like I said to IJS, Who the hell am I? .
    Bravo thinks she is, that’s why they gave her a show.

  22. I actually think that Bethenny’s show is a good contrast to the Housewives shows. On all the cities we have women who married someone old just to get a certain lifestyle so I think it’s a nice change to show a woman who has made her own money and is with the person she wants, not needs. I think it’s important for young girls to see the yuck factor in “screwing grandpa for a penthouse”.

  23. Ok Just a hint to get your comments better read..

    I love u peeps and really want to hear what u say.. but my eye balls get annihilated if you don’t use periods or break a thought for ending paragraphs and having a simple return to start another thought.

    Its just “love and light” is all. :-)

    I seriously have an issue with long paragraphs and when I have a long look at the post.. I cant read. specially my peeps who have great things to say.

    I have the worst spelling thing but I dont edit while I type and LORD HAVE MERCY!!

    I am not trying to be acrimonious but I just . just.. well lord.. I really want to read ur posts but its hard to follow if its one long paragraph with seldom periods!!

    Ok bring on the hate.. lol

  24. Man Jill’s a bitch…she was just trying to hurt Alex by repeating over and over how they weren’t friends and were never friends…I just dislike her more and more and more.

  25. Exposed.. I so get u.. DEFLECT .. DEFLECT!!!

    She is a huge arse in my book..

  26. IJS, deflecting…that’s the word I was looking for.

    And her green shoes are a little distracting! Green, just like the color of envy.

  27. Was Ramona just having a hot flash? Whats that about?

  28. Ok… Who thinks who looked the nicest at the Reunion?

    I liked Jill’s dress the best. Probably because I have the same one.

    I didn’t like Bethenny’s(the ruffle on her shoulder wtf?) Nor did I Like LuLu’s..I’m not crazy about the Wilma Flinstone style.

    Ramona too much Boobage

    Kelly’s Looked like something from the 80′s

    Alex’s style not bad..color wrong, too short.

  29. I think B’s hair and make up looked beautiful…not so much for the dress…too distracting….along with jills shoes, like I said earlier….I like Luanns dress, even if she does the one shoulder think often….it works on her….Alex looks pretty, Ramono might fall out of that dress….kelly, good god…she looks like a damn faerie frolicing around a mushroom

  30. sorry for my typos….

  31. Exposed,
    Remember last week with Kelly Ripa on the WWHL w/Andy and they showed this clip of Ramona fanning herself with her dress? Kelly said “Hey we’ve all been there – when your lady parts get a little hot and uncomfortable and we’ve all had to fan our lady parts” – or something to that effect…anyway, her “ladyparts” were a bit overheated and starting to umm, what’s the word Andy uses “schwvitz” or something like that…she got hot and sweaty in that full-skirt black dress and all those lights – she was warm, so she fanned herself and thought the camera wouldn’t see her…yeah right, the camera sees EVERYTHING!

  32. Exposed..

    She is a rat in the can.. she is now being “exposed” and I dont think she will live through this properly.. actually its sad..

  33. OMG.. now Jill blames the cameras for changing her.. OMG!! not only editing.. just the presence of cameras.. KILL ME NOW!!

  34. OK IJS…
    Here it goes, and I’m not hating on you, I’m simply offering my answer to your edict about proper punctuation. There are times that I have tried to read some of your comments and have absolutely no freakin’ idea what you are trying to communicate. All I know is that you have little white speckled blue pills that, in my opinion, take hold of you and you become some other person that speaks the language of “hunh” cuz I don’t know”. Other than that, I understand you totally and agree with you. These runonsentencesthathavenobeginningandnoendinsightarereallyhardtoreadandthenwhentheystarttouseslangitbecomesevenhardertounderstandandliketonightwereyoutalkingaboutvibratorsandkellykillorenbensimonnotwantingtoholdazitzapperbecauseshethoughtitwasavibrator?

    You are one of the funniest posters here and I enjoy conversing with both yourself and Lady Dy, and I promise, I’m not trying to fight with you…

  35. Joan, I totally forgot about the Kelly Rippa description…and yeah, with a dress that heavy, you’re right, just a little lady heat.

    I’m liking Bethenys show though…

  36. joan, LOL

    exposed,
    I agree about Bethenny’s make up, I thought Ramona’s and Alex’s looked good too. I also think LuLu’s make up always looks nice. Jill’s too much.. Kelly’s I think looks nice.

    IJS,
    This is what I think of the Jill and Bethenny thing.
    At this point it seems Bethenny has let it go.
    I think she realizes Jill has taken alot of shit over this whole thing.
    She even said something to the effect tonight on WWH. Enough with the I hate Jill.
    I think if Bethenny is willing to let it go, since this all happened to her,maybe her fans should kinda listen to what she is saying.
    Just my thoughts what do you think?

  37. Joan..

    Ok so u dont get me.. its ok and its no big deal.. like i said.. bring on the haters.. I have never claimed to be a Poet but I just want peeps to have a period or a return in the conversation.

    Why does that get your panties in a twist?

    I just want to properly read on peeps posts and induldge.

    It aint dewrong.. but just right?? PaaLeaase!!

  38. My lol to joan was at her #181 comment

  39. @Dyana – I couldn’t agree more about letting it go. Some people are taking the I <3 Bethenny/h8 Jill campaign too far. I think the key is remembering that Bravo does use editing to make a castmember look a certain way and tell a certain story.

    Example: I'm sure all of the women have made an airhead comment at some point but it doesn't get aired, Kelly gets aired every time. And notice how Bravo has yet to air the entire cell phone message that Bethenny left Jill? The key is to take the show for what it is: a good laugh, a good discussion and leave it at that. We don't know these women nor do we have any clue what deals they made amongst each other to get camera time. For all we know Bethenny and Jill Zarin were sipping mojitos, watching the reunion together.

    K, who all here in the heartland that might want to get a group watch going for next week? I took my Ambien already and now watching myself type it’s hilarious. It looks like puppet hands trying to play on the keyboard.

    So who’s up for a group drank???

  41. Kenny: what’s the verdict, is Bethenny’s fiance (forgot his name already) gay or what!?! He lit up when he met the assistant, which was the only time he smiled on the entire show. First he claims he wants a gay guy, but I have a feeling he’s into straight guys. He seems to like fist pumping w/ him.
    The topper is he takes off to FL on ‘business’ w/out telling her and sticks her w/ his friends. Something tells me he’s going to be taking alot of unexpected trips. And who could blame him really…. The way she shouts non stop, even at her poor dog. This show is a snoozefest and I guarantee as soon as this show is cancelled he will be history.

  42. I agree that B should absolutely let it go…but by no means bring jill back into her life. Jill isn’t going to change….and I don’t think that cameras change who you are…I think they amplify who you are.

    Just like with becoming wealthy….I don’t think it changes you…if you become a snob, I think that’s who a person was deep inside without the money.

  43. @Puhp I think Jason is kinda akward im assuming he is adjusting to the camera’s but hmm I still think their is something up, I think he seems a little for the team (if you know what I mean) Omarosa called him out on it lol and honestly he so wanted her to have a gay assistant so they can probably keekee about Bethenny and her fabolousness lol. What does he do for a living? He took that trip had her distracted with his friends and was down there and had the best excuse of being unable to leave because of snow! I mean really… lol. I like him though he is a hot guy.

  44. @Kenny – I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if Jason walks on both sides of the street. Let’s not forget just last season Bethenny was willing to marry her gay hair stylist as long as he gave her a baby. Obviously I hope that she has a normal, healthy relationship but the poor girl was soo desperate so who knows.

  45. Kenny I have no idea what he does for a living. It’s never mentioned, but the rumors have already started. Leave it to Omorossa to open that pandora’s box. Another thing that made me suspicious was his freudian slip when Bethenny was talking about him being ‘down there’ and the grossiosity of it all and he said ‘No, I don’t want to go down there.’

    He must have known about the housewarming and I believe he purposely didn’t tell her about his trip. Then he invites his friends to keep her busy entertaining them. I can see trouble in paradise already. Maybe he wanted a kid, but I don’t think he wanted the whole package. It’s reminding me alot of the Star Jones/Al Reynolds marriage already.

  46. In Kelly Bensimon’s Bravo blag she said, “You don’t look better when you try to make other people look worse, you just look insecure.” HUH?

    Hmm, what does she mean by trying “to make other people look worse”? Is that like calling another woman a “ho-bag”? Great job, Kelly.

    And in what way is the harmless peck on the cheek at a fun Hooter’s party that Ramona received inappropriate? Gosh, it’s not like she decided to pose naked for a men’s magazine or something!

    Satchels of Zip It!

  47. IJS,
    I didn’t say that I hated you, nor did I say that my panties are twisted. I did say that sometimes, it is VERY hard to understand what YOU are talking about, and I laughingly related it to your issues with not sleeping well and having pain in your side and those wonderful little pills that take the edge off. I also said that I was not trying to pick a fight with you. I get you most of the time, and I see those times that you, in your humor, open yourself up for other posters to take issue with you and when you stand up to them, I wish that there was some way to show you that you were being setup and you fell right into the trap they set for you.

    Don’t put words in my mouth IJS dear, or should I say “Dahlink”! I get you most of the time, so please don’t go down the wrong path there! The one thing that I’m still wanting to figure out is WHAT THE HELL IS A BANJO LAWN!!??

  48. In Kelly’s Bravo blog, she (or someone did it for her, more likely) preached, “You don’t look better when you try to make other people look worse, you just look insecure.”

    Hmm, what does she mean by trying “to make other people look worse”? Is that like calling another woman a “ho-bag”? Saying they look like they, “channel the devil”?

    And in what way is the harmless peck on the cheek Ramona received at a fun Hooter’s party offensive and inappropriate? Gosh, you would think that a mother of young girls had decided to pose naked for a men’s magazine or something!

    Satchels of Zip It!

  49. I have never seen so much women ‘talking over’ eachother as much as I have on RHONY!! Everytime one starts to talk, they all start to yammer and talk louder…It is just ridiculous!
    Half the time I can’t understand a word Bethenny says because she sounds like she is on speed!!! Is Ramona for real? Sometimes I get the impression that she is rehearsing for a bad play…

  50. i’m waitin for the jason show where his ‘real’ relationship all along has been discovered by bigmouth B & she will have to decide if she’s doing a
    menage a trois relationship ahahaa…
