Bethenny and Jason in St. Barts. Although I’m really happy for Bethenny and Jason, I have to say this week’s show was pretty slow.

But the good thing is that Bethenny is being very real. She’s not having her makeup done every second. She’s not getting all dressed up. In fact, I think she was looking a little dumpy. How mean of me. I know when you’re at that stage of pregnancy, nothing seems to look or feel good. But all the same, I think Bethenny could have dressed up just a tad.

And wow – it was amazing to see Bethenny eat. A lot. Like a real pregnant person. I did feel really sorry for Bethenny with her face and legs swelling up. I was lucky that my face did not swell when I was pregnant, but once when I was pregnant and traveling for work, I got to my hotel, lied down and got a glimpse of my ankles. YIKES! They had swollen sooo much from the airplane trip – it looked like elephantitis. In a panic, I called my OB/GYN and he tallked me down. So, Bethenny, I really do feel for you.

And, so far, Jason is holding up – still saying the right thing at the right time – telling Bethenny how the honeymoon is ending, but building a family is just starting. And, what a romantic dinner he planned on their last night at St. Barts with their table in a secluded are of the pool.

So, Bethenny and Jason are back in NY with Bethenny decorating the baby room and wanting only to have a happy healthy baby with a vagina! She cracks me up.

OK, we know the show was taped months ago, but I’m still looking forward to next week and the birth of Bethenny and Jason’s little girl.

Get ready for next week’s show with a Semi-HomeTested Cocktail, maybe the Sunburst Cooler.

Danielle drama.  AGAIN. Danielle’s crys of MY HAIR..MY HAIR.. I WANT TO GO HOME..I WANT THE POLICE… is worse than a B movie.  Are we really supposed to believe that Danielle is afraid of Teresa and Jacqueline?  Isn’t Danielle the one who last season threatened to come after everyone and that “she wouldn’t be alone” when she came knocking on their door?

Can the producers PLEASE get rid of Danielle, and return The Real Housewives of New Jersey to a sane level of women having fun and occasionally getting into b**ch sessions?

Teresa, did not let me down – she provided the comic relief in this whole crazy episode. Teresa made me laugh from her “Is Bi**ch Better?” remarks to Teresa’s humorous retelling of the evening’s events to her husband, Joe.

But do you know what is almost as annoying as Danielle trying to pass herself off as a scared innocent bystander? It’s Ashley. Why is Ashley suddenly a big part of the show? I don’t know about anyone else, but I have no interest in watching a spoiled, disrespectful teenager week after week. No matter what a BUTT Danielle is, Ashley should NOT have pulled Danielle’s hair, and Jacqueline is right to call her out on that.

But, hey, how funny was Jacqueline on the phone with the “energy psychic”? I loved when Jacqueline played games on her iphone while the psychic was sending her energy through the phone! And Jacqueline’s request to the “energy psychic” to WORK A LITTLE HARDER on Danielle was pretty funny.

Now, Ashley will most likely be facing legal charges. If Ashley’s smart, she’ll make nice with Jacqueline and her Dad, so they will help her out with that. Judging from Ashley’s contriteness on the “Watch What Happens” show with Andy Cohen, she is smartening up enough to pull herself out of that fire.

And Andy Cohen – can you look MORE uncomfortable on your own show? I would be uncomfortable too but why don’t you use your clout to change the cast on The Real Housewives of New Jersey?

What do you think? Who should go and who should stay on the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey next season?

At Last! Bethenny’s big day has arrived. And everything looks great. EXCEPT. There is no bathroom for the bride!

What??! The Four Seasons Hotel. That does gazillions of weddings?? That costs gazillions of $$. How could they not have a plan to accommodate the needs of a bride? Oh well – that is one moment I wish they had less of on the camera.

But what I did love were the wedding vows. They couldn’t be sweeeter and my hopes are that Bethenny and Jason will be able to stay out of the public eye enough to have a really great marriage.

So, the wedding planner did a great job. The maid of honor? – not so much. What did the maid of honor have to fall apart about? She did look and sound a wee bit intoxicated. Good for Bethenny to shoo her out of the dressing room and away from the cameras and off to do her maid of honor duties.

Everything seemed to go off without a hitch, but the reception did turn wild with groomsmen jumping in the pool. Happily Bethenny took it all in stride. I think we’ve all been to receptions where things got a little crazy – maybe even our own?

So, off to the honeymoon next week. Note to Bethenny - leave your work at home!

Be sure to take a look in my Semi-HomeTested Cocktails for your beverage of choice to accompany your viewing of next weeks Real Housewives of New York. May I suggest the PHILLY?

Leave it to Teresa. To stir up the crazy in Danielle.

Teresa, Jacqueline, Ashley, Danielle, Kim D, and Kim G went to a fashion show. The camps were divided: Teresa, Jacqueline, and Kim D. at one table vs. Danielle, and Kim G (and an assortment of hangers on) at a table directly across from them.

Danielle even brought a ‘more acceptable’ thug/body guard so that Kim G. wouldn’t be offended.

The RHONJ managed to get through the dinner and fashion show with only flashes of angry looks darting at each other. Danielle spent most of the time fake cell phone talking since that is what her ‘buddy’ Paris Hilton taught her to do in stressful situations if Danielle needed to ‘diss’ anyone.

Then it happens. Teresa is missing. And where does Jacqueline find her? In the lobby. Waiting for Danielle. Waiting so Teresa can say Hello to Danielle. Oh Really!!!

Of course Teresa and Danielle take about 5 seconds to start swearing at each other and the show ends. The previews show what looks like someone getting into a physical fight – but probably not – I don’t think the producers want to be faced with lawsuits.

So, while you wait for next week’s episode of Real Housewives of New Jersey, enjoy a SHIMMERING SHIVER (pg. 98 Sandra Lee semi-homemade Cocktail Time).

How refreshing! Bethenny’s Getting Married? is so fun to watch! Bethenny is so relatable – she let’s us see her at her happiest and when she breaks down in tears. And it doesn’t feel contrived (like the other RHONY women).

Bethenny really does own her behavior – apologizing to her poor wedding planner who got blasted by Bethenny just for being in the same room.

And Bethenny doesn’t fake an answer just because something is ‘expected’ of her. For example, when her best friend asked what percent she was that she was ready to get married, you could see Bethenny kind of fighting her own commitment issues and answering with around 90% (most brides to be would gush “100%). And indeed you should be 100% sure before you say I DO. And later in the show Bethenny was at 1million percent sure she was ready to marry Jason – it was really cute how she related this to Jason.

And didn’t we just love the Bachelor/Bacheloretee party? At the dinner, they looked like really good friends, not just ‘camera’ friends. I absolutely adore Bethenny’s best friend. I hope she is on the show more. This is what I enjoy watching – real people going through real life – NOT the fake drama that this last season of RHONY had.

OH MY GOSH – I almost forgot! Bethenny at the book signing at COSTCO. How funny was that! I thought it was great that Bethenny was able to make a joke about no one coming to the signing and getting all her shopping done. And Jason was too sweet, bring Bethenny all the free food samples.

I can not wait for more of Bethenny’s Getting Married? next week. Maybe enjoy a Passionpolitan (pg. 84 Sandra Lee semi-hometested Cocktail Time) while you are watching the show!

This Real Housewives of NY Reunion show part 2 was just pathetic. Absolutely nothing new happened. Except Any Cohen lost control of the show.

We do NOT need to watch the same conversation twice! And I’m hoping we won’t hear the same catfight for the 3rd time next Monday night.

Paaleeze Andy. You can do better than this!

And will someone please get some help for Kelly. She doesn’t seem to know where she is in the conversation. I am really afraid for her mental health.

BRAVO TV – listen up – This show would be better served by giving Kelly next season off and adding another NY housewife more like Sonja. Then they can have more interesting spats without it just being plain uncomfortable.

AND, speaking of being better served…. try my Semi-HomeTested SKINNY CRANILLA cocktail! It might knock you on your a##, but at least it won’t be MEAN to you!

How crazy uncomfortable was this RHONY reunion show? I’m glad Andy Cohen let Alex have her say, but I have to agree with Bethenny, enough is enough.

Really, Jill might cry, and I’m sure she really feels bad right now- but only for herself. Jill does not seem capable of understanding how awful she is to people. Jill really needs to be in charge and has to have a posse to be happy. So continuing to tell Jill why you don’t like the things she has done only produces more tears and uncomfortableness and does not change who Jill is or how she behaves.

Too bad. I wonder if Real Housewives of NY will be back. For Long. Really. Bethenny Frankel is gone. Jill Zarin is just bad news. Kelly Killeren Bensimon should go have a rest somewhere (else). LuAnn de Lesseps is boring. Sonja Morgan is a good change of pace, so that’s good. Ramona Singer should definitely stay – you never know what she will do, but it’s always entertaining!!! Ramona may be rude, but she is not mean – so I can handle. that. Alex McCord … well, Alex might be OK – but she and Simon are still a little bit creepy to me.

So anyway, at this 1st of 3 reunion shows, Jill walked off… And Kelly walked off. Maybe Andy should take away 1 hour of their air time each time they walk off. You can just bet they’d keep their keisters in place!

Or maybe they should enjoy a COSMORITA (Sandra Lee semi-homemade Cocktail Time) next week! And take it down a notch. Nahh!!! It’s gonna be a gladiator fight to the end…
