The Real Housewives of New York City Needs to Get Rid of Cindy & Get Sonja Underwear

The latest was another strange episode of The Real Housewives of New York City.

That is either Johann or Francoise with mother Alex. If I had to guess I'd say it was Francoise who got a piano for his birthday. Francoise seemed to care less.

Then in her talking head comments, Alex would be saying things like how thrilled the kid was. Then we'd cut back to the kid not being thrilled.

It was very odd.

But not as odd as Sonja's toaster oven cooking lesson. Sonja's toaster oven looked antique, which the Countess pointed out. Why would anyone think it is easier to cook in a toaster oven than a real oven? Made no sense to me.

Sonja had Cindy come to her house so Sonja could educate Sonja regarding multiple bad Cindy behaviors, including, adding to the list, dancing with Sonja's houseboy upon arrival. Cindy lied to Sonja, telling Sonja that she had not told Kelly that Sonja was having Ramona come to her toaster oven demo.

To make clear Cindy was lying Bravo showed us a clip of Cindy telling Kelly what Cindy denies telling.

Now, back to Sonja before we get to Kelly. Sonja went to some baseball thing, involving NYC firemen who were in a calendar, with Sonja throwing the first pitch at a baseball game.

Was Sonja told to come dressed as some sort of cheap hooker? As you can see in the picture above, Sonja's outfit had her looking slightly preggers.

And then we were treated to a view of Sonja's backside when the wind blew her skirt up and kept it up.

This seemed to excite some of the firemen, even more so when Sonja had them take off half their clothes. One of the firemen told Sonja after the photo shoot they should exchange information.

That is a sophisticated way of saying I want to have your phone number. This is how Kim Zolciak snagged her latest baby daddy, Kroy Biermann, on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Kelly displayed a little crazy Kellyness this episode, bringing up Scary Island again. Being irrational about Ramona.

Kelly bugs me bad.

But not as bad as she used to. Now, after enough exposure to Kelly, I've learned a lot of what makes her annoying is because the poor girl is so damn dumb.

Kelly and Ramona had lunch together, with Sonja. That went well. Except for Kelly saying stuff that had Ramona's eyes bulging a bit.

Jill got back from Australia and met up with some of the housewives to give them Aussie trinkets. Jill's talking head told us she was no longer going to gossip. About 5 seconds later Jill was back gossiping.

Later, in several drawn out segments, Jill went to Alex's house where they had lunch and seemed to settle their differences, with Jill actually seeming to act like a decent human.

We'll see how long Jill being decent lasts.

I really can not stand Cindy. This is the best they could find in all of New York City?

In the previews for next week we saw Sonja's bare backside again. Rivetting television.

Ramona Bests Jill Zarin on Watch What Happens Live With Jill Dressed Like a Tudor House

Ramona Singer and Jill Zarin were Andy Cohen's guests on Watch What Happens Live's 100th Episode, which followed the premiere of Season 4 of the Real Housewives of New York City.

Jill was bizarrely costumed in what looked to be a design based on the Tudor style of house building.

The circles around Jill's breast zone are quite peculiar.

Jill is so cluelessly un-self aware, no matter what situation she is in, or so it seems.

Andy showed clips from the first episode that showed Jill in full bitch mode, after she said she'd learned her lesson after the bad viewer reaction to the bad Jill behavior on Season 3.

The snarky remarks Jill made about Ramona and Alex at the wedding, on the first episode, had Jill claiming she thought she was talking to the producers, that her comments were not intended for the show.

Yeah, that's how it works on a Reality TV Show when cameras are on you.

Ramona basically owned Jill on Watch What Happens Live. The poll for this episode asked viewers to vote on which team they were on, Team Ramona or Team Jill.

In the end it was 78% for Team Ramona, 22% for Team Jill.

This had Jill Zarin posting the following bizarre message on her Facebook page...

I could not believe the POLL results on WWHLs. I challenged Bravo. Last year I was killed too. remember? Guest what??? Sprint wasn't working AND they were registering texts after the 18 minute mark. Also..the results were completely wrong and they say not as big a spread but Ramona still won by small margin. This just proves what all of you have been saying. They will say sorry?

I left Jill's bad grammar and spelling unfixed. "Guest" what?

In a TV forum somewhere on the internet someone had this to say about Jill...

Completely unselfaware. I see more loathing for her on the interwebs after the first episode of this season than last season. The WWHL appearance sealed her fate. She should just hide somewhere for the rest of the season, there will be no redeeming.

On WWHL Jill had her nasty little dog, Ginger, in a kimono. Something to do with helping the people in Japan. Jill is trying to turn her nasty little dog into Giggy from the Beverly Hills Housewives.

It won't work. Ginger isn't cute. Giggy is cute. Lisa is likable, Jill is not likable.

Bethenny Got Married After Peeing in a Bucket With Jill Zarin Going Crazier

That is Bethenny Frankel in her wedding dress, with one person helping her get off her underwear and her wedding planner, Buster Bluth, helping hold up the dress so that Bethenny could urinate in a bucket.

It was only minutes to go before her wedding. No modern facilities were available, hence the bucket.

After an awful lot of fussing by perfectionist Bethenny, in the end, the wedding planner did his job well and to Bethenny's grateful satisfaction. Actually doing anything to make the wedding come off, including helping facilitate the makeshift restroom.

And coming through with the Red Velvet cake, which was the thing that seemed to be worrying Bethenny the most.

I can't remember the actual name of the Buster Bluth lookalike. I'm thinking he is funny enough to have his own Bravo show.

I am not a big fan of watching a wedding, either in person or on TV. But, Bethenny's wedding was funny and touching.

Of Bethenny's fellow Real New York Housewives, only Ramona and Alex and their husbands were at the wedding. When the cake got cut Simon shouted out something that I didn't understand. Bethenny said he was wasted.

The new Mrs. Jason Hoppy was worried that some of Jason's fratboy friends might act up. She strictly forbade anyone getting in the pool. Of course, a couple boys did. Bethenny pretended to be upset, but said she was not in reality, saying something like how can she get uppity about boys in the pool when just minutes ago she'd been peeing in a bucket.

Gossip in the Internet forums has Jill Zarin spiraling deeper into madness, distraught over the mess she has made of her reputation, jealous of Bethenny's continued success, including the highest rated Bravo premiere ever.

Supposedly Jill is so unsettled that her inept advice book, Secrets of a Jewish Mother, is not selling, that she had husband Bobby buy a huge number of the books from Amazon, shipped to Zarin Fabrics, where Jill then tries to re-sell them as autographed copies.

With no one buying them.

Rumor has Jill then buying her own books, autographing them and mailing them. To whom? It's all become very Norma Desmondesque.

Has Jill caused Zarin Fabrics to hit the skids? The Zarin's sold their Hamptons house and their apartment is for sale. One rumor has them living in the attic above their store.

I wonder if there is any advice in Jill's book about how to say I'm sorry? And mean it.

Delivering a Message to Jill Zarin

If I remember right at some point during the recently completed Season 3 of The Real Housewives of New York City we heard Jill Zarin say she uses Google Alerts. I assume, ego-maniacal narcissist that she is, Jill Zarin has a Google Alert for her name.

So, I'm sure Jill will get a Google Alert about this particular blogging, what with it mentioning Jill Zarin repeatedly.

I got the picture of Jill Zarin from her Facebook profile. It appears to be a picture taken before Jill Zarin became one of Reality TV's most hated villains. The villainous version of Jill Zarin sports ridiculous hair extensions and racoon-like eye makeup. And the villain version of Jill Zarin somehow grew some extra chins that hang down in side views of her scary mug.

Jill Zarin has had all sorts of trouble with her Facebook and Twitter pages. As in a lot of people letting Jill know what a mean, toxic bad girl they think she is. Jill Zarin tries to counter the flood of critical comments with fake comments singing Jill Zarin's praises.

Jill Zarin has been caught writing fake positive reviews, on Amazon, in a scandal known as Amazon-gate, about the failed attempt by Jill Zarin, her sister Lisa and their bizarrely twisted mother, Gloria Kamen, to get readers to buy an advice book written by these women who are in dire need of advice, called Secrets of a Jewish Mother. Also known, by some, as Delusions of a Yenta Bitch.

Despite having claimed to have learned some sort of lesson from seeing her bad behavior on her TV screen, Jill Zarin is reported to be doing her mean girl stuff to Alex McCord and Bethenny Frankel.

Alex had the gall to point out to Jill Zarin that Jill Zarin's behavior was not acceptable. This became the incident that turned Jill Zarin vicious to Alex.

Jill Zarin has supposedly hired Kim Kardashian's PR people to try and rehabilitate Jill Zarin's ruined reputation.

It's not working.

Here's my free advice to Jill Zarin.

Alex McCord is not toxic. You are. You need to call Alex and apologize.

You need to drop your "we are not friends" shtick. When Ramona tried to talk to you after your rude intrusion in St. Johns, you said to Ramona, "I thought we were friends. I see now we aren't." This is very offputting and you need to stop with that particular verbiage.

When people speak to you, listen. Do not talk over them. Aren't you at all embarrassed when you see yourself doing that?

Tone down acting so overly entitled. Getting some expensive jewelry for your birthday, then whining that your birthday, Christmas and your anniversary are so close together that you get screwed in the gift department. Aren't you something close to 60? You are way too old to act this way.

On your Twitter bio it says, "Star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City." Not one of the "Stars." The "Star." This is yet one more example of your extreme narcissim. You are not the "Star" of the show. You are more of a Black Hole than a "Star."

I'm sure if I felt like thinking about it some more I'd think of other things Jill Zarin could do that might make people despise her a bit less. But, right now, thinking about Jill Zarin is starting to make my head hurt.

Real Housewives of New York City: Bravo Insider Gossip While Kelly & Jill Lunch at World Pie

You're looking at The Real Housewives of New York City's Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon outside of something called World pie, where they had lunch.

Jill Zarin continues her internet assault on Alex McCord, thus continuing to sink deeper and deeper into the Mean Girl hole Jill dug for herself over the course of the just completed 3rd season of RHONY.

A supposed, alleged Bravo insider has leaked Bravo's thinking as to what to do about the cast of RHONY. I'll copy that supposed insider info below.

But first I've got some Twitter Tweeting to copy.

First, Kelly Twittered to Jill, one of Kelly's now notoriously stupid Tweets. Kelly Tweeted @jillzarin, saying, "I loved lunch at World pie. I admire our friendship so much."

This Kelly comment prompted others to Tweet, like whatthatsaid who Tweeted, "Has anyone actually checked her diploma?"

Kelly supposedly attended Columbia University.

PenePan Tweeted, "What is Jill wearing? Some kind of diaper? And Kelly, besides needing to take an English course, learn some posture!"

Karabrah Tweeted, "If you studied at Columbia you'd know that you don't admire your own friendships. You admire others in their friendships and "treasure your friendships".

Poppymommy also Tweeted Kelly about her bad verbiage, "you really need to learn English -- I think you meant "treasure our friendship" how the hell does someone admire their own friendship?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And now the alleged memo from a Bravo insider....

Sonja – IN
Ramona – IN

Bravo has a small list of housewives they want to approach to come on the show. Up for replacement are:

Kelly – everyone saw this coming. Talk is they want to phase her out.

LuAnn – Bravo does not like BORING. She is tanking in polls, blogs, housewives chatter, etc. Corte was more popular.

Now things get interesting:
Bravo knows this show runs on drama. Guess what they want? Yes — ALEX and Jill drama. Sonja won’t engage. Ramona is an instigator not fighter.

Alex will be approached first. IF she says yes — then Jill will be signed. If Alex says no — Jill gets replaced.

If Jill had brains, she would stop all her stupid PR tricks of fighting during. She would stop all the trolls she has sent out fighting with Simon, Alex, and other bloggers. She might want to focus a little bit more on trying to look good. If Alex doesn’t come back then stick a fork in Jill – cuz she is done.

She also needs to back off her reunion comments about her not coming back if Alex comes back. She really needs to do something not housewives related to get fans back to liking her. Her “Q” rating is still declining.

Bethenny is the only one where it is up to her if she wants to or not. She is totally undecided right now but Bravo will wait for her. She has several weeks to make a decision.

Karma — it’s like a gift from baby jesus. It just keeps giving and giving.

Again – just gossip – but it comes from inside the NBC walls. Please understand that I can not say more about the source. You can take it for what its worth which I know isn’t much but time will tell.

The Real Housewives of New York City: The Kelly Bensimon Problem & Jill Zarin's Continuing Madness

The just completed 3rd season of The Real Housewives of New York City is a gift that just keeps giving. Kelly Bensimon continues to cluelessly cement her crazy girl reputation in a variety of ways. With one being Kelly's Twitter Tweets. Or, what she calls "sound bites."

On the 3rd hour of the reunion Kelly's tweets came up, to which Jill reacted with an "oh no, not Kelly's tweets." Andy Cohen inquired as to the why of Jill's "oh no." To which Jill replied something like "Kelly's tweets make no sense, I can't understand them."

In the past week Kelly twittered a series of tweets that when compiled together in a sort of paragraph seem to be saying she is working with Bravo to find new housewives.

This is what Kelly said....

"I am def coming back if they change the cast. Dynasty with no money or power is over ah? No. Its called bored with filming with fake "reality stars," ahh hello. Are we not watching the same show! I am helping them find real Yorkers who inspire, not made for tv "faux celebs." Whats wrong with life being rainbows and jellybeans? thats the best kind of life to live. We cant all be bitter and materialistic."

Regarding Bravo and who will be a New York City Housewife one viewer opined with the following...

"Well, it's gonna be interesting to see how the negotiations go and who returns. I suspect they will all be asked back except for maybe Kelly. I'm not sure bravo wants that liability on their hands, but than again I'm sure they will weigh the negative against the possible ratings bonanza and decide. It seems to me that if it was as bad in St. John as they say, and bravo chose not to air a lot of the footage, they must know they've got a problem they may not be able to handle and will choose to cut Kelly loose.

I'm kind of on the fence about Luann. I'm not sure she brings a lot to the table, but they may keep her so Jill will have a sidekick since Jen didn't seem to work out. But, who knows, Bravo might give Jen another shot. I think they may be trying to figure out who to keep, Jen or Luann.

Jill will definitely be back. I think she'd do it for free if they asked her. She's on a mission to rehabilitate herself and win back her once adoring fans. They know Jill is ratings gold.

I think Alex has secured her spot and they know Jill and Alex on the same show will be what everybody wants to see.

Sonja has become very popular in a short period of time. She's a shoe in.

I think Bethenny has an open spot if she decides to return. I'm sure bravo is trying to shore up some kind of deal with her as well.

I left out Ramona. Of course she'll be back, that's a given."

Now, I agree with the above viewer about Kelly Bensimon. And, near as I can tell, most viewers agree. It was entertaining watching a person gradually make obvious that they are mentally ill or suffer from some serious psychological disorder. But, after this turned, well, borderline tragic, in St. John, well, at that point it turned into uncomfortable viewing.

With the uncomfortable viewing continuing through the reunion shows.

I don't see how Bravo can continue to film Kelly Bensimon, unless it is in a new show where we see her getting therapy from Dr. Phil or Dr. Drew. Or some other doctor. It is not an option to continue to film and display Kelly's serious disconnect from reality. Which really is ironic, it being a reality show, afterall.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Change of subject to Jill. This is another housewife in dire need of therapy. Perhaps Jill should also be removed from RHONY. Maybe Jill and Kelly could do a show together. Jill & Kelly Get Help! That'd be a catchy title.

Jill Zarin is currently in full pit bull attack mode against sweet, totally non-toxic Alex McCord. Remember when Jill had her lunch with Bethenny and told Bethenny that Alex was toxic, and that Bethenny had not seen the toxic side of Alex.

Remember that all Alex really did was shove some reality in Jill's homely mug, telling Jill that she was in high school and a mean girl.

So, what does Jill, who wakes up each day trying to be a better person, do? Jill now directs her mean girl, high school act directly at Alex. Once more Jill is totally miscalculating and is only digging herself deeper into the Reality TV Star Hall of Infamous Villains.

One viewer characterized the Jill problem rather succinctly...

"Nothing can be Jill's fault. She can't attack Bethenny, since that didn't work for her.

Alex and Bethenny hang out. Alex was welcome at the hospital after the birth. Alex gave Bethenny a baby shower. Alex is on Bethenny's show. Alex attended Bethenny's wedding. Alex is getting air time. Alex, Ramona, and Bethenny continue to call each other and hang out together.

Jill is jealous and furious that she isn't getting the Bethenny-glow fall out and extra TV time, and that Alex is.

Also? Alex stood up to her, called her a mean girl in high school, and told her to shut up, she was speaking.

As usual, Jill's evil plans are backfiring, because her feud with Alex is making Alex MORE valuable to Bravo.

I think Jill's a hater. She has to have someone to blame for whatever isn't her way or anything else under the sun.

Jill's probably done it her whole life. She probably learned it from her mother, Gloria. Jill never stopped hating - she just transferred the hate from Bethenny to Alex.

I think Jill thrives on negative energy, instead of positive energy. Many people do. She should see a doctor and take Kelly with her."

Okay, that's all for now about Kelly Bensimon and Jill Zarin and their depraved, demented, disgusting dealings.

The Real Housewives of New York City Reunion Part 3: More Crazy Kelly, Bethenny Hugs Jill

Part 3 of The Real Housewives of New York City Reunion Show was almost a Part too many. It seemed like more of the same. Two hours of it were great. The third hour, not so much.

Listening to Kelly's incoherent babble is frustrating after awhile. It makes me want it to be a courtroom where the judge orders her to answer the question.

At the end of Part 2 Kelly stormed off the set. At the start of Part 3 the girls talk about how demented Kelly is and how hopeless it is to try and make sense of the Kelly mess.

And then Kelly returns as if nothing really happened. And then more Kooky Kelly talk starts up.

And Andy Cohen lends way too much credence to Kelly's inane insane mind ramblings, as if he is trying to re-interpret her convoluted, contradictory gibberish into something that makes sense.

If only Andy Cohen had gone after Kelly's weirdness with the intensity he went after Countess LuAnn regarding her ex-husband, the Count's, possible anti-semite attitudes.

Sonja put on display, again, why viewers have readily adopted her as a favorite. Sonja is a well-spoken, self-deprecating, self-aware, intelligent, funny voice of reason. Sort of the total opposite of Kelly.

In the last segment Andy asked each of the housewives if they'd return for another season. Alex and Sonja were enthusiastic. LuAnn sort of enthusiastic, as was Ramona. Kelly, as usual, made no sense, but she'd love to come back. And Bethenny and Jill have doubts about returning.

And then, the predictable end. After a couple tearful exchanges, Jill asked Bethenny if she could give her a hug. Bethenny nodded her assent. Jill then clumsily wobbled over to Bethenny on those ridiculous neon green high heel hooker shoes that have become a real eyesore after 3 hours.

And then Andy wrapped it up, saying it was ending happy, just like it liked to end things.

It did not seem all that happy to me. A happy ending would have been Kelly being physically removed, wrapped in a straight jacket.

The Real Housewives of New York City Reunion Show Part 3 Tonight

The latest iteration of The Real Housewives of New York City, aka RHONY, comes to a merciful, I hope, end tonight, with Part 3 of the extremely entertaining, so far, Reunion Show.

In Part 2, Kelly Bensimon brought out the gibberish spouting, clueless lunatic. Again. Apparently, according to what I've read in more than one location, Kelly believes she is creating great television. And is quite proud of this accomplishment.

That is self-proclaimed super shy person, Kelly Bensimon, in the picture, wearing more than when the super shy girl wore nothing in Playboy.

Meanwhile, Jill Zarin's plan to rehabilitate her un-rehabilitatable reputation went all asunder, when Jill ignored the advice of her paid PR people and went on various rampages, again revealing Jill's true nature. A very ugly, mean-spirited, sort of stupid, nature.

Unable to control the flood of constant criticism on her Facebook Fan Page, Jill did what any spoiled brat does when she doesn't get her way, Jill took her toys away from the other kids, or in this case, removed her Facebook page.

I assume Jill has also given up on Twitter. She was displaying all sorts of malignant thinking on Twitter.

Back to Kelly. Survivor Sucks is my favorite source for TV show info. And, well, gossip. You can find RHONY in the Other Shows That Suck section of Survivor Sucks.

This morning on Survivor Sucks I read some speculation about Kelly's loony behavior being booze caused. This speculation was started by someone repeating what a former nanny, employed by Kelly Bensimon, allegedly said.

I'll copy and paste some of the comments regarding Kelly and an alcohol problem below...

Kelly Bensimon's former nanny says Kelly starts her day by spiking her coffee with tequila. The nanny was the fourth person in four months to work for Kelly, and at Kelly's daughter's school, the lady at the front desk told the nanny: "I hope you don't have a breakdown like the last lady."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I swear, I knew she was an alcoholic. I really think it's what's caused her serious brain damage in addition to her other psychological problems. She is way too adamant about the whole "I really don't drink" thing. Yeah, maybe not in front of people.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah, she doesn't drink but she's pimping out the drink she just invented. ugh.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought about the alcohol thing too, but her words are hardly ever slurred, and she gets up at the crack of dawn to go to yoga and then run thru the streets of NYC. What alchie is able to pull all that off?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know, but I'm thinking big time bi polar that won't take her meds.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just think Kelly isn't very bright..and tries to use things she's heard other people say but disremembers the context..so she comes off crazy..and yes..add anger issues..her kids are bright though.

Okay, that's the end of the Kelly the Drunk comments. I also thought it odd during Part 2 of the Reunion Show when the subject of Kelly's loopy comment of making lemonade out of lemons malapropism came up. Kelly then said she'd been inspired by that comment to invent a drink called Kellyade. If I remember right Kellyade is lemonade mixed with Tequila.

I've been around extremely stupid people when they consume alcohol. The effect is way different than when extremely smart people consume alcohol. As in stupid people, like Kelly, are very quickly effected by a very small amount of alcohol. Their stupidity is quickly amped up, as is their confidence that what they have to say is not stupid. Being under the influence when she's being particularly crazy may be why Kelly does not seem to remember what actually happened. Even when she sees it on video.

Looking forward to tonight. Particularly the moment when Jill pushes Ramona into getting stomping mad. And Kelly not remembering what she'd told Ramona about Kelly's inability to feel anything.

The highlight of the Reunion Show will be at the end, when Andy Cohen announces that Kelly Bensimon will not be returning. Okay, change "will" to "would" and the previous sentence becomes true.

See you at Survivor Sucks after the show!

Jill Zarin & Her Equally Disturbing Mother Gloria Kamen

That is Jill Zarin on the left and her mother, Gloria Kamen, next to her.

This is a very flattering picture. It appears to me, when you see Gloria in all her glory on the TV screen, that she was enamored of the work of Leona Helmsley's plastic surgeon and so engaged his services. To equally disturbing results.

Most viewers of The Real Housewives of New York City have been appalled and disgusted by the over the top mean girl behavior of Jill Zarin, who's sense of entitlement is so out of bounds with reality that in many ways she is more of a mentally ill train wreck than that sad case of paranoid hysteria known as Kelly Bensimon.

Jill Zarin managed a reality TV show wonder this season, going from being a fan favorite to being one of the all time despised villains.

Jill's mother also saw her previous positive image reversed, as we saw Jill's real mom, Gloria, for the first time, as the overbearing, mean-spirited, bitter shrew of an old lady, that she actually is.

The idea that Jill, Gloria and sister Lisa thought they had the credentials to write a book of advice is real revealing. It's like Elizabeth Taylor writing a book about how to have a long term marriage. Or Hillary Clinton writing a book about how to keep your husband faithful. Or Rush Limbaugh writing a book about how to be reasonable and fair-minded.

Well, you get the drift.

Jill is so obviously damaged by that a shrew of a mother who raised her. Jill is still seeking Gloria's approval. Like arranging that pathetic glamorous book cover photo shoot, hoping to make mommy happy, instead Gloria complained that "Mother is not HAPPY," and "That fan is making my breasts cold."

I assume, by fan, Gloria meant a device blowing wind and not one of her legion of viewer critics.

It seems clear that the "fan" attention that Jill got from the first 2 seasons of RHONY totally warped her. She convinced herself she was the star of the show. This set her up to be really upset when it became clear who the real star was. As in, Bethenny Frankel.

And then for Jill to see herself greatly eclipsed by Alex and Ramona and Sonja, now all fan favorites, while Jill has been stuck in the TV Doghouse, well, it's quite an appropriate comeuppance.

Jill Zarin has so many firestorm disasters she tries to put out. Her book got slammed on Amazon with bad reviews. So, Jill logged in as Sharon Saunders and wrote a fake positive review. It was quickly obvious due to various identifiers that Sharon was Jill. This brought much followup humiliation.

A non-Jill fan in Chicago, Lynn, has an anti-Jill website where she recently encouraged her readers to flood Jill with snail mail letting Jill know what they think of her. Jill countered by claiming she'd involved the police and post office inspectors to stop this assault.

Jill's Facebook and Twitter pages are flooded with fans giving her the bad girl bitch slapping she so richly deserves. Jill. or a rumored paid lackey, delete the comments as quickly as they can.

I have read various analyses of the bizarre Jill behavior we have witnessed. Some simply say she is a classic case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Maybe so.

I think that Alex and others got it right. Jill did not have a good time in high school. She was not one of the popular girls, due to both her mean-spirit selfishness and being a rather homely little plump girl. Jill learned to make mean girl snarky comments to overcompensate for her raging insecurity.

And then Jill becomes a Real New York City Housewife. For the first time ever she is one of the "popular" girls. Or so she thinks. But then Jill sees the real "popular" RHONY girls get that special treatment she has always been denied, Jill flips, and the totally mean, totally wrong, totally pathetic high school version of Jill comes to the foreground.

And that is the Jill Zarin we saw this season. The real Jill.

I really don't think Jill Zarin can recover. I'm thinking it'd likely be best for her to retire from the show, concentrate on Zarin Fabrics and greatly limit contact with her extremely toxic mother, Gloria Kamen.

And say I'm sorry to Bethenny Frankel and Alex McCord every opportunity she gets. Til she learns to mean it.

The Real Housewives of New York City: Greasy Bobby Zarin

Well, currently, my favorite show on TV is The Real Housewives of New York City.

Along with everyone else, I am loving the new housewife, Sonja Morgan.

Also along with most every one else, the behavior of Kelly Bensimon has gone into such weird, new territory, that I'm with the majority. She is so unstable, shown again in 2 incidents in the latest episode, those being her meeting with LuAnn, Jill and Jennifer and then Kelly's confrontation with Ramona at Jill's strange ice skating party.

It is so clear and obvious that Kelly is not well and needs help, Bravo really should sort of be ashamed of itself. Maybe redemption in some form is coming.

With Kelly, I now actually feel sorry for her, due to the shocking revelation of how messed up she is. But I do not feel sorry for Jill Zarin. Jill is one of the most, if not the most reprehensible characters I've ever witnessed on a Reality TV Show.

Go here for a funny take on the mess Jill Zarin has made for herself...

Up til the most recent episode I found Jill's long-suffering husband, Bobby Zarin, to be a somewhat likable sort. But this week he seemed as deluded as Jill regarding their invasion of the St. John's vacation party.

I don't know if you've ever heard this, but Bobby Zarin has a successful business called Zarin Fabrics. His wife Jill pretends to work there. It appears Bobby Zarin is quite wealthy. So, why can't he do something about his appearance? I dunno, maybe hire a makeover artist.

Why is Bobby's hair always so greasy? Why the beard? What's with the constant sunglasses? Bobby Zarin looks like a guy who should be running an Adult Video Store, not a fabric store.

One more episode of RHONY to go. Will Bethenny patch it up with Jill? Will Jill's attempts at damage control do her any good? Will Jill go to Ramona's Renewal Wedding? Will Kelly? Will I want to buy LuAnn's hit single? Is Kelly going to have one more epic breakdown in the final episode? Or will that happen at the reunion, which is being touted as drama filled.

And one more thing, if you would have told me during the first season of RHONY that by season three I would like Simon and Alex, particularly Alex, I would not have been able to imagine how such a thing could happen. But it has. This is the type thing that causes me to like Reality TV.

The Real Housewives of New York City's Kelly Bensimon's Insane Craziness

I have not watched, yet, the latest episode of The Real Housewives of New York City. I did see, this morning, that people were Googling various variations of "Kelly Bensimon Insane."

Up til last week's episode I'd been sort of slightly liking Kelly, this season. She seemed to be somewhat redeeming herself from last season's bizarre senseless confrontations with fan favorite, Bethenny Frankel.

And then we get last week's episode, aboard a yacht named Olga, where Kelly reverted to crazy, even crazier than any of the crazy Kelly behavior we'd seen before.

It started when Kelly tried to shut the other women down when the subject of the other mentally ill housewife, Jill Zarin, came up. Kelly said they were making lemonade out of lemons, and, with that bit of nonsense, Kelly got up and crashed into a glass door, spewing more nonsense on her way.

A short time later Kelly returns, references her timeout, seems to be acting normal. Now, me sitting there watching, thought to myself, what did she do? Leave the ladies so that she could take some medication because she had detected she'd slipped into a psychotic episode?

Later, after it appeared too much alcohol had been consumed, Kelly, stone cold sober Bethenny and my new favorite housewife, Sonja Morgan, sat talking. Ramona and Alex had escaped to the Hooters Yacht. Bethenny and Sonja were having a perfectly normal conversation when suddenly Kelly turned in to a Psycho Bitch again.

Kelly heaped all sorts of mean things on newly pregnant, newly fatherless, Bethenny, topping it off with the extremely strange assertion that Bethenny is a cook, not a chef.

In the week since her most recent humiliation, Kelly wrote, on her Bravo blog, that she was embarrassed, but did not elaborate. However, despite her alleged embarrassment, this week, on her Twitter account, Kelly has been Tweeting more insanity.

Now, I agree with Bethenny that this is one stupid broad. She seems befuddled by the simplest of things. I mean, it has been a year and she still does not understand Bethenny's Madonna remark or the Kelly comes from a place of no remark, blowing the remarks way way out of proportion.

We have now seen enough of Kelly's psychotic behavior to see how it is she came to assault her ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Stefanov.

Now, while I find watching a train wreck like Kelly Bensimon to be entertaining, I'm also thinking that this is a much more serious case of mental illness than we are watching with Jill Zarin. I think Kelly is in dire need of serious help, while I think Jill is in dire need of a spanking, a time out and a bitch slapping, more harshly delivered than those administered by Alex.

I am looking forward, sort of, to seeing how demented Kelly behaved this week. I know that accusing Bethenny of trying to kill her is part of it. And fellow mentally ill housewife, Jill, shows up briefly, likely amping up the insanity.

The reunion show for this season should deliver. Unless Kelly is thoroughly sedated.

The Real Housewives of New York City: Secrets of a Jewish Mother---Jill Zarin is Mentally Ill & Mother Gloria is Nuts Too

The latest iteration of the Real Housewives of New York City has been, I dunno, well, strange.

Most of the strangeness is brought courtesy of Jill Zarin. It's like all the characters have had, to some degree, character alterations.

Simon and Alex now seem nice and normal. Kelly now seems harmless and, at times, amusing. Ramona's bi-polar mood swings are amusing, even when she is being a mean girl. LuAnn really has become countless in more ways than one. Bethenny still seems the same.

But Jill. She seems to be mentally ill. Her Bethenny obsession with the enabling by LuAnn is so off-putting. And has off put the viewers, with the result that Jill Zarin's Facebook page, Twitter account and Bravo blog are overwhelmed with viewer's giving her a well-deserved bitch slapping.

I have been victim of a toxic person like Jill. It is not pleasant. Having been a toxic person victim it makes it difficult to watch Jill, at times.

When we first met Jill's mother, Gloria Kamen, Gloria seemed innocuous enough, just a nice old Jewish lady. But, we have now seen enough of Gloria to suspect Gloria's mothering is likely why Jill is such a mixed up mentally ill mess. Gloria really annoys me, she's looks like a re-animated cadaver. An unpleasant re-animated cadaver.

The idea that Gloria, along with Jill's sister, Lisa Wexler published a book titled "Secrets of a Jewish Mother: Real Advice, Real Stories, Real Love."

The book quickly tanked and is now being sold on Amazon at a steep discount.

From previews and the press it seems newly married, pregnant Bethenny realizes what a toxic poison her friendship with Jill Zarin was and that she is much better off rid of her. It is hard to get rid of a toxic person. They can haunt you like a nasty ghost.

The Real Housewives Of New York City Season 3: Bethenny Gets Naked For PETA Kelly Gets Naked for Playboy

Well, the first episode of Season 3 of The Real Housewives of New York City did not disappoint.

We opened with 50 something Ramona Singer on a yacht, awaiting the arrival of Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, Jill Zarin and Alex McCord, sans Simon.

Ramona was wearing a midriff baring bikini like thing that Jill let be known she thought inappropriate for someone of Ramona's advanced age. Of course, Jill did not share this opinion with Ramona, just with the audience, so Ramona got to hear it with the rest of us, obvious future fight fodder at the reunion show.

These girls really hold on to grudges. LuAnn seems to be oozing with issues. On the boat she confronted Ramona about Ramona's husband Mario's remark at some photo shoot, where the photographer asked for the Countess, to which Mario said something like "you mean Countless?"

This did not seem to me to be something worth taking umbrage over, it was sort of funny. But LuAnn was all sorts of hurt over it. Jill opined in. Pretty soon Ramona went into drunken Ramona brittle mode and we had the first fight of the new season.

Previous to that we learned, from Jill, that she and Bethenny were no long BFF's, due to Bethenny committing the unpardonable horror of suggesting, on the phone, that Jill get a hobby.

These people really need some real problems.

Then we saw Bethenny get naked on a New York City rooftop, posing for PETA's I'd Rather Be Naked Than Wear Fur campaign. We pretty much saw Bethenny's bare butt, which later upset the latest love of her life, I think the name was Jason. He seemed normal. How is he going to fit in with these nutcases?

We first saw Crazy Kelly Bensimon when LuAnn and Jill showed up for drinks at Kelly's invitation. Kelly seems to have been re-invented as a chastised ex-boy friend beating chagrined ex-convict. There was some dissing of Bethenny. Well, a lot of dissing. By this time we'd heard Bethenny's version of the problem with Jill. Per the norm, Bethenny's version seems far more elevated and sensible than Jill's.

Then we saw Bethenny and boyfriend out in, I think, the Hamptons, then the boyfriend dropping Bethenny off for a drink meet with LuAnn. Bethenny had driven 2 hours for this drink meet. LuAnn started it off awkward by asking for it to be made clear who was paying for the drinks. Bethenny had a totally appropriate WTF expression on her face. She may also have said the words represented by WTF.

Like I said, LuAnn can hold a grudge. Apparently Bethenny had invited LuAnn to go take surfing lessons, years ago. Bethenny got hit with the bill. Bethenny remarked to the camera how is it that I, the poorest of these people, always gets hit with the bill?

Apparently LuAnn did not see the humor, held onto this, and then hit Bethenny with it at the drink encounter. It was bizarre. I agree with those who say LuAnn really needs to read an etiquette book. Etiquette Rule #1 is always make people feel comfortable. I've been on the receiving end of LuAnn sorts. They are very difficult to deal with.

Funniest part was Bethenny promising never to say bad stuff behind LuAnn's back and then cut to talking to the audience, ending whatever Bethenny was saying with "You nutcase Drag Queen" or something like that. Drag Queen was part of it, I don't exactly remember the preceding phrase. I suspect the Drag Queen remark will be heard again.

I'm sure I'm forgetting things. Oh, Jill's husband went through a cancer episode. Bethenny did not show sufficient concern. LuAnn's divorce was troubling. Bethenny did not show sufficient concern.

Previews showed a lot of good fighting, including the scene you see in the picture at the top, of Kelly's face looking in pain, with Bethenny yelling at her. Can't wait.

In the meantime I learned last night that I need to see the March issue of Playboy. I was channel chasing and came upon the Joy Behar Show on one of the cable news stations, CNN, FOX or MSNBC. I suspect it was the latter.

Anyway, new best friends, Jill, LuAnn and Kelly were getting grilled by Joy. During this grilling is when I learned that Kelly has taken her clothes off for Playboy and was on the cover. Kelly's ex-husband, Gilles Bensimon, took the photos.

Joy asked, what about the children, how can you forget about the children? Kelly responded that she talked it over with her kids for their input about mommy getting naked for a magazine. The kids were fine with it and very proud that Hugh Hefner wanted to see their 40 something mommy naked.

What struck me as odd, among many odd things striking me, was last season, on Halloween, we saw Kelly walking the streets of New York in her skimpy Jane outfit, next to Max being Tarzan. Kelly remarked that she was costumed conservatively, due to, you know, she has kids.

And, now, a short time later, the kids can take mommy to show and tell at school to show off her magazine spread. A couple weeks ago Bart Simpson went through similar humiliation when his mom, Marge, posed scantily for a charity calendar. But, not as skimpily as Kelly in Playboy.

Looking forward to next week's fights on The Real Housewives of New York City. I wonder how Ramona is going to react to Kelly getting naked in Playboy?
