"I think something's wrong with her."
Sunday, May 23, 2010 
What tipped you off, Ramoner? Was it Kelly's incoherent ranting about vampires and murder plots? Or was it when she followed that up by scampering off to her room, laughing hysterically, and then breezily returning to offer everyone jellybeans and lollipops?
Here's the thing: up until this episode, it has been tremendously enjoyable and satisfying to make fun of Kelly Bensimon. She is aggressively stupid and patronizing, which is a winning combination for any reality tv show. But now she's thrown a big wrench into things. As this episode of Real Housewives of New York City made clear, she is either mentally ill, physically ill, and/or on some sort of brain-eating drug, all of which are serious and decidedly un-funny conditions.
Many of you have spoken up about your concern for Kelly (and damn if you people don't know a lot about meth. Clearly I'm not watching enough Intervention). We can only hope that the people around her are working to get her some help (although if her Sunday night twitter feed is any indication, she's still into the bad stuff, whatever that may be).
Her situation requires sensitivity, which is not my strong suit. AT ALL. And also, I have a feeling you don't come here to get deep. I believe it was Flipping Out's Jeff Lewis who once said (and I'm paraphrasing), "the best way to deal with heavy and emotionally-loaded situations is to crack a few jokes and perhaps apologize later." So I'm not going to tone it down too much--and you can bet your sweet bippy I am going to go balls-out against Jill.
Let's start at the beginning.
1. It is a beautiful and sunshiney morning on the S.S. Disaster. After presumably clinging to the toilet puking Pinot into the wee hours of the morning, Ramoner is chipper and freshly bikini-ed. She bubbles over with happy memories of the night before, especially Turtle Time, when she gleefully thrashed and seized all over the dance floor with Alex and Bethenny. Sonja chimes in to report that she and Kelly had a wild and fun night too, which included Kelly jumping into bed with her and invading her personal space.
Sonja: No, no, it really was hilarious when Kelly woke me in the middle of the night by howling in my face. I do wish she wouldn't have peed on my phone or chased me around the deck with that fire extinguisher, but what can you do? She's a free spirit, that Kelly!
Bethenny can't resist: "did she call you a hobag? Because I'm a chef, author and a hobag."
"No, cook," Kelly clarifies. And we're back to the chef/cook/whatfuckingever argument, and thank God for that because there's nothing I love more than watching these two bicker about the finer points of Bethenny's resumé. GOD. It culminates with Kelly saying "I don't know what you are," and Bethenny, forgetting that she's arguing with the mental equivalent of a stalk of celery, yells "stop the fucking bullshit!" They trade insults (kind of, Kelly just can't hit the mark, which infuriates Bethenny all the more) until Kelly says, out of nowhere, "satchels of gold."
What?
Silence. Then Alex tries to distract everyone by babbling to Bethenny about "oh, Simon is making chocolate flambé peach pancakes for the children and wants to know how much bourbon he should add?" At least I think that's what she said; I was still trying to wrap my brain around satchels of gold. SATCHELS OF GOLD.
2. Ramoner is bouncing around on deck telling everyone that their next stop is even better than the yacht. You'd better believe it is! Bravo took a big hit on this one--Andy Cohen will be skipping lunch for months--because the ladies anchor down in a tropical paradise and drive to the most spectacular villa you have ever seen. These jaded New Yorkers melt into puddles over this place, it is so beautiful, and I can't help but imagine what Jill would say if she were there.
"Bobby, you should see this place. Ramoner knows I hate when my stuff gets all sandy, yet she booked a house on a beach. Who does that?! And the ocean! It's so frigging loud. It's giving me the worst headache."
3. Later that night, Bethenny drops a Skinnygirl bag, monogrammed with Kelly's initials, at Kelly's door. B explains that she wanted to surprise everyone with a totebag full of promotional material goodies. Am I the only one who could not stop thinking about how much it must have cost her to check 4 of those huge bags, and how they had to be lugged from the airplane to the yacht to the villa, and what a pain in the ass?
Anyhow, Kelly does not appreciate the effort and opens the bag as if it was filled with live snakes. "So impersonal," she says to herself, and I totally agree. Monograms are just so...anonymous. "I don't understand this girl," she whispers as she flings herself on the bed and bursts into tears.
Okay, definitely weird but I just assumed there was some editing mish-mash going on because why would someone cry over a dropped-off swag bag? Especially if it contained food. (Bethenny, please tell me there was food in there.)
She calls Jill for some consolation and guidance. What does Jill say? "LUANN AND I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO!" Oh, Jesus. Kelly is talking and talking and saying she's having nightmares "ERR ERR ERR" and it's making her scream "ERR ERR ERR." The other thing about Bethenny? "She tries to literally claw your eyes out." Wow, I must have missed that part.
She continues. "NO, I don't have double D fake tits in my face." I'm not sure what this means, but I can confirm that Kelly's double D fake tits are indeed not in her face but in her armpits.
There's a lot more blathering and when she finally slows down, Jill advises her to "be a lady" and to stay away from Bethenny. To the camera, she says she's worried that she's not on this trip when so much good shit is going down and that Kelly's not making any sense. DUH.
4. It's the next morning, and Bethenny, Ramoner and Alex are in the kitchen getting breakfast when Kelly gallops in with a "complaint pad." All of this gibberish comes out of her mouth about writing down complaints, then throwing them away, like in 4th grade, but it's cathartic, so stick your complaints in the fish jar BYE!!!!!!!! Bethenny's all "par for the course, my friends" but the look on Alex's face is one of pure confusion. She says to the camera something like "I don't know what her 4th grade was like, but I didn't do anything like that."
Kelly tells the camera that she wants to take photos of everyone down on the beach. It's her gift to them, "an actual image they can go home with." I'm glad she elaborated on that because I was really unsure about what a photo was. Bethenny declines: "I don't want to be with cookadoodledoo."
5. Sonja and Ramoner have their own separate photo sessions with Kelly on the beach. I have such fondness for Sonja and Ramoner, both of whom confidently hump the sand and make pouty faces at the camera.
Both women, by the way, have SMOKING bodies (my husband still isn't convinced that Ramoner is in her 50s).
Then it's Alex's turn. Oh boy. Kelly puts on her fake glasses for this one, and starts telling Alex how to pose.
It is awkward and uncomfortable and Kelly's shouting "your Johan face! Soft face, Johan face, Alex!" over and over while a bewildered Alex is contorting her face, desperately trying to figure out what Kelly means, but only succeeding in looking like a member of the Manson family.
6. Back in New York City, Jill is name-dropping and ice-skating in a fancy dress on some fancy rink that she didn't have permission to be on. Her presence is interfering with the practice of other skaters and a coach yells at her to get off the ice. The nerve! So rude.
7. Jill and Lu have dinner. Jill relates the details of Kelly's panicked phone call and says that Kelly was a blubbering wreck. LuAnn's all "thank God we're not down there," and Jill says "Me too! By the way, I'm changing my plans so I can go down there to surprise Ramoner and try to make up with Bethenny."
Of course.
She adds, half-jokingly, "I hope I don't have to call you on a rescue mission." LuAnn does not hesitate with her reply: "if you do, I'm not coming." Funny.
"You're on your own, bitch."
8. Now for the main event. I think I held my breath for most of it, and maybe even blacked out a few times, but I'll do my best to summarize.
Bethenny is cooking everyone dinner as a present to Ramoner. Ramoner, Sonja and Alex are having cocktails and Kelly is with them, but talking on the phone. Ramoner, in her typically abrupt fashion, tells her to go to the other room and Kelly sneers, "honestly? It's about you." Then she continues to stay there until she hangs up, at which point she gives a disproportionately angry speech about "DON'T MESS WITH MY KIDS."
Now I feel a little zing down my spine because I can tell this is the beginning of Kelly's trip to cuckoo-town.
They take their seats for dinner and Kelly doesn't want to sit across from Bethenny, so she moves two feet over. Kelly tells the camera that no one is her friend and it's four against one (which has continued to be her "defense" since this episode aired). This is just another sign of the loony talk she has going on in her head because Sonja was trying so hard to chill things out and ultimately protected Kelly in a way that Jill Zarin nevah evah would have.
In a moment of what appears to be lucidity, Kelly expresses concern for Bethenny--she's pregnant and running around cooking/chef-ing for everyone. "I'm worried about you!"
"I'm sure you are," Bethenny responds with more than a hint of sarcasm and Sonja quickly changes the subject to "ooooh, the food is so delicious and I should know because I have dined in many 5-star restaurants." Bethenny makes joke about "what are you, a hooker?" and it's funny. But one person (guess who!) does not get the humor, as we see later.
The subject turns to Jill, and Kelly reports that Jill is also worried about Bethenny and will she use ZARIN FABRICS for the nursery? I made that last part up. Everyone starts to chime in on the Jill issue and Kelly shouts "this is not a forum!" several times. Weird, so fucking weird. 'Moner tells her to stop shutting everyone down and stands to issue a formal apology to Bethenny for the Brooklyn Bridge fight. But Kelly CANNOT stop talking. As Ramoner goes to sit on Bethenny's chair to get away from Kelly's noise, Kelly asks if Ramoner is going to make out with Bethenny and "give her the tongue." Sonja GASPS, a beautiful, loud intake of air that expresses everyone's shock.
Kelly starts with the "ZIP IT" and yells at Ramoner for making Bethenny cry on the Brooklyn Bridge. Complete jibberish just spews from her mouth. Bethenny and Ramoner, eyes bulging, leave the table, and Sonja tells Kelly "I can't even defend you any more!" and calls out to the other ladies, "please don't abandon me!"
I officially endorse Sonja Morgan. My favorite housewife of all time right now.
Kelly is shouting about "what is this? Free to Be You and Me 1979?!" (Incidentally, I loved the commenter who said "what HAPPENED to her in 1979?!" So funny.) She then sets her sights on Alex but ends up going completely non-linear. Even more non-linear than before, that is. Kelly is starting to froth at the mouth as she tells Alex that Alex has so much pent up anger and rage (contrast with Alex listening calmly) and then this somehow segues into I AM HAVING NIGHTMARES AND THROWING UP AND BETHENNY IS TRYING TO KILL ME!
We can practically hear her brain sizzling.
Bethenny and 'Moner reappear and ask what's going on. Sonja's all "hell if I know." Kelly tells everyone that Alex's message to Jill was out of control and then she says, very seriously, that ALEX IS CHANNELING A VAMPIRE WITH TERRIBLE MAKE-UP.
Alex doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, and when anyone tries to talk, Kelly repeats her line of the night: "ZIP IT!"
Ramoner is slugging the wine and making cuckoo signs behind Kelly's back and Bethenny is laughing hysterically. Bethenny and Alex leave the table, and Ramoner has this unnerving high pitched squealing laughter as she trots off behind them.
Kelly, who now looks like something that has crawled out of Ginger's butt, is crying to Sonja that Bethenny has attacked her kids and called Sonja a hooker. Sonja shakes her head, "you're getting weird."
The other women come back for more and Kelly is talking about reality, and the facts, both of which are clearly beyond her grasp. Bethenny tries to express this by saying some version of "you can't handle the truth!" and Kelly says "Al Sharpton!" and then something about hair.
We are watching Kelly lose her fucking mind.
Finally, she excuses herself. She runs down the hall, barefoot feet slapping the tile as she laughs maniacally. Whew. It's over.
But oh God no no no please no she's back, eating handfuls of jellybeans and offering lollipops. She is shouting more nonsense and talking about not sleeping and Bethenny utters the long-awaited GO TO SLEEP! But we had no idea it was going to go down like this. In fact, I think I'd say we were ambushed by this episode. Oh, it is quite a glass of icy water down the pants.
Everyone is all amped up, save for Sonja, and there's kind of a Lord of the Flies vibe going on, so when Sonja implores everyone to stop because something is clearly wrong with Kelly, part of me is screaming "NO! NO! BLOOD! WE WANT BLOOD!" The other part of me is mewling on the couch.
Unbelievably, Kelly just sits there chomping on her jellybeans while everyone discusses the fact that she is insane for reals.
She doesn't defend herself, doesn't deny it, just sits there. Bethenny apologizes (kind of) for the GO TO SLEEP and Kelly talks about how she doesn't like "the chatter," and people are crazy about her (!!!) because she doesn't put up with it. (Which is news to me because her whole existence seems to be nothing but chatter.)
Anyhow, all of the ladies are giving each other the side-eye and breathing sighs of relief as Kelly comes down. Ramoner toasts to "good things for everyone" and the most disturbing episode in the history of Bravo is OVER. Goddamn.
Bombs away, my darlings. I know you have more to say.

sweet lord. excellent recap. i relived it for a moment. remembering things that my subconscience was obviously trying to bury saving my own sanity..
like you i wanted blood, i think this was bc honestly i wanted answers...was kelly putting on a show? i thought it strange that she just sat there like a robot plopping candy into her mouth as if they were talking about a movie instead of her sanity...so so SO fucking weird.
jesus take the wheel kelly...jesus take the wheel...
GOD Bethenny how could you give out (shamelessly self-promoting) free gift bags to your friends!? I know I hate it when people try to do something nice for me. ..whata B...
Did any one else read Neil's comment to the last post? I myself am now convinced that Neil is Kelly's meth supplier and does not want Kelly to stop buying. Neil, if everything was okay with Kelly and she just could not handle being brought into these arguments, then she would not have come back to the table munching on jelly beans.
EFF. This is some real cra-cra shit.
Side note: I love Luann's hair.
Rockin' the Recap!!!
Like a warm blanket, SGM. Many thanks for the best recap of the best episode of all time. I am exhausted....hope you're holding up because we're not done yet. I too have a limited supply of sympathy for the superficial, especially for those who put themselves in situations that exacerbate their already significant issues. That said, the mother in me cringes when I see Kelly (and Danielle) loose their motherfucking minds! Have you checked out RealityTea.com - they've got some quotes from Kelly insisting she is sane and the rest of the world is wack. Classic. Also, the NYC reunion tapes at the very end of May (26th?); there have been some comments about this. Can't wait to watch little Andy get through this one - he cute little grin only gets him so far. After watching a few clips on bravo.com I've gathered that Kelly busts out of the villa and heads back to NYC, just in time for JIll to sweep in. I've already started craving this episode - this will be rich because we won't have to check our feelings (oh shit! feelings!!) as we rip Jill to shreds. I am SO ready for a fair fight, so bring it Jill!
thank you thank you thank you thank you!! fab fab fab recap
i just feel the need to post my favorite quote of the night:
"kelly she doesn't really think i'm a hooker. you understand that don't you?"
Reading your always spot on recap made me simultaneously laugh out loud and tremor in fear because it was so accurate. There should have been one of those Public Service Announcements after that episode and after your recap where Bethenny comes on and says, in a serious voice: "Mental Health issues are real. Contact the National Alliance of Mental Health if you can closely identify with Kelly in this night's episode."
I am all about Sonja Morgan. I Google'd her and found out that her husband is of the J.P. Morgans and that he met her when she was a Hostess at a 5 star restaurant. So Sonja really does know 5 star restaurants. I would love to have a Pinot Grigio with her and 'Moaner and talk about their glory days at sample sales and when they were both still husband hunting.
Look, I have figured out the whole "Satchels of Gold" comment:
1. Kelly is rully good friends with Tom Cruise and for a moment channels Johnny from The Outsiders and mixes up telling Ponyboy to "Stay Gold" and instead tells Sonja "Satchels of Gold". Same thing.
2. In a delusional state, Kelly thinks she is Gargamel and that Bethenny and the gang are Smurfs and she is fantasizing about turning them into Satchels of Gold.
And to think this all started from being called Madonna. I hope BRavo renegotiates her contract and pays her in Jelly Bellys from now on. You can't pay for crack with candy!
i loved loved loved reading this. I want to experience this episode over and over again. Did you read Bethenny's blog on bravotv.com? She said that what we saw wasn't half as bad as what actually happened and it was way worse and super disturbing and scary. HOW COULD IT GET WORSE?
Do you know what I would pay for that raw footage?
Your recaps are def worth satchels of gold! I can't wait for this week's show; it's sure to be a mothersmucker from what I've read online!!
This is "Jerry Springer" territory and although I cracked up (laughed very hard) at SGM's recap (spot on), I cannot help but think about her family and her kids. I am a mother and cannot imagine those kids living with her on a daily basis. I cringed as this was going down. Sonja is the best, she is smart and it was funny how she was begging the others not to leave her with Kelly alone. Poor thing...

It was Ok to watch when I was thinking she was simply not smart and inarticulate but Andy should take this seriously, this is not fun to watch anymore.

May 23, 2010 at 12:32 pm
I have been a psychaitrist for over 26 years, with a wonderful practice, and my oldest daughter that has walked in my footsteps.She has worked as an A.R.N.P. psyche nurse at a substance abuse treatment center for 6 years , counseling addicts with dual diagnoses.ie: alcoholism along with borderline personality disorder, etc..I was introduced to “all the Housewives” shows by my oldest daughter, the psyche nurse, and also by my college age daughter. I am not a fan of these shows, just stating the truth here (my daughters love them, and have somehow managed to get me to see many episodes of NY Housewives, and a few other HW shows)..but,as the girls came to stay with me last week, and we watched Thursday’s episode of the NY Housewives on Ramona’s yacht…I must say, my immediate ‘diagnosis button” kicked into high gear.Reading the above comments were very interesting to me. I, being a Jew myself, definitely heard the “satchels of gold” remark for what it was;anti-semetic. Period, paragraph.
The question obviously seems to be a toss up between attention grabbing behavior (which usually denotes a psyche poblem to begin with), OR is she really having a mental breakdown? As a medical doctor trained in the medicine and treatment of patients with psychiatric disorders, you will never hear the word “carzy” come from me. Mental illnes is a disease , just like cancer. To me, calling someone crazy is no more acceptable than calling someone with a mental handicap a ‘retard”..Absolutely unacceptable. Unfortunately, it is a word thst is tossed around way too often, yet I understand why..when people witness behavior like Kelly’s, and they are not trained in the field of psychiatry, it is the first word that comes to most people’s minds. I think the comment above about how ‘everyone got very calm when Kelly’s behavior completely escalated into bizarre babbling and accusations so wild, that the rest of the women became very calm…out of FEAR.” Absolutely corrrect! The Housewives talked about a ‘chemical imbalance’, and I must say I back them on that thought 100%.No, I do NOT treat Kelly, but it doesn’t take a personal session with someone to see that there is something deeply disturbing about her remarks, paranoia, her back and forth bahavior between getting up and leaving the table, telling everyone “how sick she is of the negativity and witch hunt”, only to come back to the table 3 seconds later with jellybeans and candy.From what I saw on that episode, (I even watched it twice), and many previous episodes I have seen,(luckily, none of my colleagues read this type of thing, or I’d never live it down that I am a “fan” of The Real Housewives..) I would diagnose Kelly right off the bat with bi-polar disorder, especially in the mania department. When people are in mania, they interrupt others constantly,can’t sit still or make up their minds, and have paranoid delusions such as people trying to kill them, and evil manifestations, such as Alex “chanelling the devil”, they also have a strong tendency to believe that everyone is ‘below” them , in a sense that her fear is so strong re: herself as a person, that she constantly blurts out demeaning things about others, such as the repitive topic of “how sick of the immaturity, negativity, creepiness and how she is “so above the conversations of the others that she has to endure” is a small example of her delusional thinking. Does she not think that calling Jill and telling her all that she has had to ‘endure the craziness of four women’, and again tearing Bethanny to shreds, is any better than the so-called “immature, negative conversations she is so sick of hearing”?
There is term in the recovery groups world wide, “If you spot it, you got it.” If I thought she had the capacity to even understand what that meant, I would suggest to the other Housewives to say just that to her, and see what comes out of her as a response. Unfortunately, at this point in Kelly’s mental illness, and have NO doubt that she IS mentally ill, I do not think saying things to ‘make her think” will do any good. In fact, the probability of it just making her more angry is extremely high.
Bethenny, if you read this blog, please know that I see you as a strong , witty and resonable woman. You know what your limits and boundaries are, and I hope you keep your head held high, and though pregnant with hormones raging, the loss of your dad, do not let anyone else’s opinion of why you went on the cruise unsettle you in any way.. Everyone grieves differently..which , once again brings me back to Kelly and her closed -minded thinking. She is a perfect example of what we psychiatrists call “Queen Baby”. She truly believes that her thoughts are always right, and the ONLY thoughts and opinions that matter. She is 100% incapable of understanding that she is NOT always correct in her thinking, that others are allowed to have their own thoughts and opinions, and her actions, verbally and in body language, just rub others the wrong way…it mystifies her as to why she isn’t understood. It is all just part of her serious mental illness.
On an end note, my complete diagnosis for Kelly, just from watching the show, being FULLY aware that the producers edit and cut up these shows to show the most ‘drama” they can..either way, one cannot just dismiss Kelly’s behavior on the way she is presented on the show. She has acted out in MANY episodes , in fact, every one I have seen with her in it. My final diagnosis: Bi-Polar disorder with intense episodes of mania, Queen Baby” disorder, borderline personality disorder, PTSD from somewhere in her life, and according to my daughter whom I trust as much as I do my colleagues, an ‘under the radar’ drug problem of some type. Who knows? She may be on anti-depressants that are displaying awful adverse side effects, and she has no clue. She may have an addiction to benzos such as Xanax or Valium, which if taken in large doses, due to tolerance build up, leaving the person having to take more of the drug than Rx’d, can certainly be a part of her mean, bizarre behavior.
My suggestion to Kelly and her friends: PLEASE get this young woman who does have children, the help she so despreately needs. She is a time bomb waiting to explode. If she walks away, ignores you, which is highly likely, get a 72 hour ACT placed upon her so she will be forced to go to a psyche unit for at least 72 hours. She is definitely a threat to HERSELF and others.She needs a “TIME OUT”..but not on her terms. Her idea of a time out consists of maybe 2-3 seconds, to maybe 5 minutes.Which is demonstratively shown as just NOT enough Time Out time.
I see patients like Kelly every day, and there is hope for her..the first step is to just get her somewhere, with a judge’s order, and quickly.I truly believe if she does not get the help she needs, her children will wind up a part of a system that can damage families for a very long time. She does NOT want her kids in foster care.And needs to realize that she is “above that” happening. She is NOT.
Best of luck to you all in trying to get her the help she needs.
Sincerely, P.Labinowitz, M.D.~Member of the Board of American Psychiatrists, FACP
SGM, your recaps make my week. I am giddy with anticipation for your next post. What was Kelly referring to when she said that Bethenny was going after her kids in the press? I don't recall that detail, but that's not surprising as I'm usually 2 glasses deep in the Pinot by the time the show comes on on the west coast. I also thought I'd call attention to Kelly's 'my friend Gwyneth' comment. Bethenny's confused 'who's Gwyneth?' response was of course pitch-perfect.
My brain and DVR are going to explode with NJ and NYC running simultaneously. How am I supposed to get things done?
Wasn't it a couple weeks ago that Kelly was talking about how she couldn't operate a camera? Now she's all "I totally know what I'm doing...blah, blah, blah."
I love Sonja. Without her, this would have been Lord of the Flies for sure.
Love you, SGM, as always. Hubs made a comment while we were watching this go down that Bravo could potentially be sued for taking advantage of a mentally unstable (crazy ass) person for entertainment purposes. She is ill for sure. And I agree, it stopped being funny with the last episode (yet still very entertaining).
I think I would have thrown Kelly overboard the first hour of the trip.
Fantastic recap SGM and I wish Andy Cohen would have you and Sonja as guests on his WWH's show.
Oy. I am so mentally exhausted from reliving it(due to brilliant recap)that I am zapped for anything to say. It was more creepy than anything. I felt like I was a place(my sofa with a cold brew) that I was not supposed to be....yet I was home. It was gross. Too much to see. Not quite the Betthany fan that so many people are, but this makes her look angelic. What a shit storm.
Ahhhh, I forgot about Gwyneth! I'm sure she loved that shout out.
I also had an chuckle over Sonja's "you need to leave now because I need a drink."
7crazies, I haven't heard that satchels of gold is a slur. I'm going to have to check that out. Interesting analysis by the psychiatrist; even I didn't think Kelly was that nuts.
Um, also, I love the term Queen Baby and would like that to be my new nickname.
I was wrong. Scented-Glossy's official record of the proceedings make absolutely clear the overwhelming evidence that Kelly is indeed a bit "touched". I need to watch this for a third time [second with Video on Demand]...I think I have some repressed memories as well. And no...I'm not her meth dealer [so please don't contact me for any!].
Check out "Satchels Of Gold: The Found Poetry Of Kelly Bensimon":

YES! loved the blurt from Sonya telling Kellamity that she needed to leave now, so that Sonja could relax and have a drink. very real. and the comment from Bethenny that she wanted to "vampire Ramona's ass to get at some Pinot" because she wasn't drinking (and really really seriously needed to). Backing up in time, when these 2 crazy Kelly episodes were filmed, was there any immediate consequence for KooKoodoodle? or were the blogs right on about how none of the women who experienced the "nervous breakthrough" even want to discuss it after the fact. Did Kelly work at all this winter? What's the time gap here. Just how do you pick up and go on from this mess?
please understand that after reading your summaries of these episodes, it is often the case that i have to check my pants. also, pregnancy makes Bethenny high-larious.
Funniest recap I've read. Good Job!
