Mob Wives: Is VH1 Bashing Drita?

To contact us Click HERE

 Is VH1 bashing Drita? You tell me. Our blog is constantly accused of criticizing Drita because all she talks about is fighting and more fighting. Well apparently that's all VH1 hears too when they watch the show because, as you can see in the frame above, Drita talks about fighting till she dies. Is that bashing or humor? I need to know! In any case, for the short length of the clip, Drita seems to get the most attention for arguing (note she calls Karen a "b*tch" FIRST and starts the fight), throwing a glass, being the only mob wife cursing and finally stating what she is all about, "fighting." I may be just a "chirping cricket," but there are a lot of us out there who see and hear the same thing week after week, including the genius who put this clip together.

Interestingly enough, this short clip gives an accurate micro glimpse of each of the mob wives' personalities. Renee is portrayed as very emotional, which is a lot of what we have seen on the show. Karen has been trying "to talk" to Drita since season one and, Drita asking, "if she is talking to her," is hilarious because she has never heard a word Karen has said. Bigg Ang is portrayed to be funny, as she lands in her "discombobulated" way, and then leaves saying, "I'm not sticking around for this drama!"  Ramona takes a strong stand and makes herself very clear. And Carla? Carla sings opera because in two seasons she hasn't had a decent memorable line in the show or a decent story line for that matter. Isn't that what everyone has been saying? She's a "filler b*tch."

All in all I think the creator of this commercial should win an award, if there is one to be won. If he/she is reading this blog, thank you for one of the best things to come out of Mob Wives! I loved it! I can't stop watching it. Let me know what you think?

Mob Wives: Renee’s Exclusive Interview w/Cherry

To contact us Click HERE



We saw the exclusive interview Renee had with Cherry Martinez on her radio show, Lock Down Love, on last week’s episode of Mob Wives. The show is about people who have loved ones who are incarcerated. Now the entire interview has been released for fans to listen to again. Renee talks about her father and her ex-husband Junior.

It’s obvious that Cherry and Renee are good friends and that’s why she feels comfortable talking with her over these sensitive issues. Renee feels that by talking about these issues it will help her let go of what has been holding her back for so long.

Renee explains she met Junior right after he was released from prison. Renee had issues dating at the time because guys would not want to go out with her because of who her dad was, Anthony “T.G.” Graziano. Her dad always told her if they have good intentions they will come back. Junior kept coming back, so she thought he was the right one. He was a strong, handsome man that she saw as a prince, but he ended up being the prince of darkness. It’s difficult for them to get into the story about Junior becoming a “snitch,” because it’s so sensitive. Renee says she is coping the best that she can. She loved Junior more than anyone will ever know. She says she has stopped loving him and has no respect for him. He got many people in trouble, he put her own father in jail. Renee feels if you get caught doing what you do in the street then you take your punishment like a man even if it means dying in prison, with respect. Renee says he is the worst kind of snitch. He put a wire on his watch and went into her father’s house and taped conversations. She says he is no father and he is no man to her and she would spit on him if she could. Renee’s advice to other women who know their man is a snitch is to walk away and move on. Renee says she has a ways to go, but she and AJ are strong and they can handle it.

UPDATE: This morning on Twitter Renee tweets that she is in the hospital having her heart checked. It seems to me that the anxiety she is suffering over AJ’s arrest, on top of everything else she has been through,  is starting to affect her health. We recently posted a blog on AJ’s innocence, however the news media has been sensationalizing the facts and making it sound like AJ had bad intentions when he was just trying to be a good Samaritan. We wish Renee a speedy recovery and hope this issues are resolved soon so she can have peace of mind where her son is concerned.

Mama's Boys Of The Bronx: Jersey Shore's Angelina Pivarnick Dates Anthony Zoccolillo

To contact us Click HERE

Anthony Zoccolillo of Mama's Boys Of The Bronx with Angelina Pivarnick of Couples Therapy

Mob Mistress isn't the only one with sources.  My sources tell me that Anthony of Mama's Boys Of The Bronx is dating the feisty cutie Angelina Pivarnick of Jersey Shore & Couples Therapy reality fame. The season finale of Couples Therapy aired last nite.  Angela attended therapy with her then boyfriend Chris Nirschel of season 7 The Next Food Network Star.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out Couples Therapy didn't save the two former lovebirds' relationship.  However, maybe it helped them out in discovering they weren't what each other wanted in the mate department. Anthony recently confirmed with The Mob Wives Blogspot their relationship is exclusive.

Many of you know, I have had a soft spot for the Mama's Boys Of The Bronx cast.  I'm happy that Anthony has possibly met his match in Miss Pivarnick. Who knows this love interest may spark a new reality show!  Though Angelina is the new love in his life, Anthony is still a mama's boy through and through.  He still lives with his lovely mother Patti.  During season 1 of  Mama's Boys Of The Bronx we got a glimpse of Anthony sneaking a young woman out one fine morning.  Mama Patti was wise to her boy's antics.  I hear Patti sets the bar high in regards to Anthony's girlfriends.  I hope her son's girlfriend meets her standards.  Angelina known as the party girl from the Jersey Shore may have found herself just the right guy. During a brief conversation with Anthony, he confirmed their dating relationship. Anthony shared they first communicated through Twitter, exchanging tweets.  Eventually they met, hit it off and now are in a blossoming relationship.  First Match.com, then eHarmony and now Twitter love, who knew?  However they met & whatever happens along the way, I hope the very best for the two of them.  You know I'll be following them on twitter. Hopefully Anthony's mother Patti won't be dealing with anymore 'cleaning ladies' anytime soon.

I found this clip of Anthony Zoccolillo on Dr. Phil.



I hope you enjoyed the video.  Did you watch Couples Therapy?  If so, we'd love to hear get your take on the show & Angelina (remember to be respectful).

Until next time,

Mob Wives: "Omerta" Finale Sneak Peeks!

To contact us Click HERE
Drita with Anger Management Therapist in "Role Play" Clip
The finale is titled, "Omerta" and is going to be about the sit down with Karen and Drtia. Both of them try to prepare for what they are about to do. Drita sees her therapist. The anger management therapist wants Drita to "role play" how she plans to talk to Karen. But, as soon as she starts, the therapist points to the monitor to show Drita how her anger is climbing. Drita calls it the "rat machine" because it is reporting how she really feels while she is trying to keep her emotions in check. The therapist found her to be somewhat insincere and the machine doesn't lie. The therapist tests her anger again, which is very easy to do, and once again the machine records her anger rising. And Drita is pissed because she thinks the therapist is supposed to be keeping her calm and he is riling her up.

************************
Karen talks to Ramona in "Mentally Prepared" Clip
Karen wants to meet Drita and address the past; for her that's the only way to get past it and move on. Karen says one of the issues is that they both have different ideas of what friendship means. The second issue for Karen is the fact that Drita put her hands on her two times. Ramona really believes that Drita has some kind of mental issue. Ramona adds that Drita must not be comfortable with what she has done in the past which is why she keeps on lying about it. Ramona believes they can never be friends because a line was crossed when things got physical and they can't go back. And Karen vows that if things don't go right, she is going to end up in prison!

Mob Wives: Finale "Do Or Die" Sneak Peek

To contact us Click HERE
Drita sees Karen walk in to restaurant
Karen and Drita have not spoken or seen each other since Renee's party in episode one. Karen has decided to agree to meet Drita for Renee's sake. No one knows what is going to happen once the conversation gets started. They are both still tweeting, which means they survived, and no one died. But, what happens? No one is talking. Maybe that's why the episode is called, "Omerta," the code of silence. What do you think of this clip. Drita seems very nervous or anxious to me. I can almost see the wheels turning in her head as she tries to think of the right words she will use. As Karen sits down, there is a little awkward silence, then Drita asks Karen if she wants to speak first.

Mob Wives: Happy Mother's Day!

To contact us Click HERE


It wouldn't be Mother's Day without a special bouquet of flowers! My family got me a beautiful bouquet, but it was hard to focus on flowers when I have the Mob Wives finale tonight! I found myself daydreaming about tonight's show as I was arranging the flowers in the vase to display. I started thinking, if each mob wife was a flower, what would they be? Even flowers have meaning associated with personality traits.
Jennifer is the Sun (flower) she helps all the mob wives thrive and grow. A sunflower, is prominent, independent and larger than life, like Jenn. A natural leader and motivator, she possesses confidence and assurance. She is an intelligent person who rises to meet any challenge and offers great advice and mentoring. She is ambitious and always working towards a goal.

Renee is the Rose. She is traditional, a nurturer who cares for and loves her family. She has an emotional and sensitive side and is in tune with the needs of others. She is loyal and trustworthy. She is happiest when surrounded by family and friends. She is well loved by those around her and at social gatherings, she is the life of the party.

Carla is the Narcissus. Carla loves Carla. She loves the way she dresses. She pays attention to her wardrobe and shoes. Her hair is the "mane" event. She is attention seeking due to her own insecurities about herself, for example her age. She needs to be validated for her looks; her outer appearance is more important than her inner self .


Big Ang is the Chrysanthemum. Her personality is full of surprises. She likes clarity and honesty and wants to clear the air for peaceful resolutions or to heal a situation.

Ramona is the Carnation. She is strong willed and determined to make others see her point of view. She is a natural leader and there for family and friends to lean on. She has deep love and affection for family and friends. She likes security.

Karen is the Morning Glory. Karen is thoughtful and reflective. She thinks and plans before taking action. She is organized and observant and pays attention to detail. She loves to help others get their acts together.

Drita is the Daisy. Why? Because, she loves me...she loves me not.

Happy Mother's Day to all our Mob Wives and readers and stay tuned for my recap of the finale tomorrow!

Heather Dubrow: "Cute Is A Four-Letter Word"

"At the party I called [Gretchen] cute a couple of times.  She let Slade know this was not OK, and he thought I was jealous of her.  Hmmmm.  First of all, I know cute is a four letter word, but when did it become a "FOUR LETTER WORD"!?! Gretchen and I had a few nice moments together when we went to the bathroom (OK, that sounds weird, but you know what I mean) so, when we got back to the table, I was genuinely enjoying her company.  Tamra had scared me so badly about all the ladies before the party, I was relieved that I was getting along with everyone.  So I said she was cute!  BTW, she is cute.  I meant it as a compliment.  For the record Sladey-Slade, I had a great time in my 20s and 30s.  I'm very excited to be in my 40s and I'm in a great place in my life.  I have no desire to go backwards... Just saying..." -Heather Dubrow

Guest Blog: Bethenny Ever After Episode 1

To contact us Click HERE
Our newest Guest Blogger is Ally!  Here's her blog for the first episode of Bethenny Ever After:


Bethenny is back... along with sex, a new apartment, and some insecurities!  It was mild start to the second year of marriage but the premiere party of Skinny Girl Sangria starts the show off right!! Bethenny feels that now she can say with a straight face Skinny Girl is a brand. No argument here!! What started as a margarita drink has blossomed into way more then just drinks, there are recipes, cleanses, and beauty products, Skinny Girl definitely is a household brand!

Bethenny has made it no secret that the second year of marriage is hard for her. She wants to be a good mother, wife, keep the romance and run a business.

All the previews told us "Jason's penis has cob webs", "you have to have a date night or go away to get laid properly." However Bethenny is at least talking about sex plenty! She and Jason discussed how many times a week they used to have sex and now that number is lower because of being parents and running a business. Jason wants that number up but 5 times a week is too much for Bethenny, "If your penis was shooting diamonds I wouldn't be having sex 5 times a week...and I like diamonds."  Hysterical! But yet so awkward that she discussed her Lisa Lampanelli's husband's ball size! "Are they like Cabernet glass big?" And then joking about sending her new assistant over to his place to take a picture. Totally Bethenny though, loved it!!!
  
She's admitted that a relationship is hard work and it still is for her, "I have to work at being in a relationship" but yes she is committed to her marriage and making it work. She admits to Dr. Amador that she gets out of breath when talking to Jason about financial topics and how trust is still something they work on when it concerns money.  She feels like the villain of the relationship explaining that everyone always asks 'what it's like to have the perfect husband?' She then feels that they think she's a lunatic and owns her crazy moments yet at the same time feels on occasion she makes sense.  She also says that if she and Jason have a problem with another person he will talk to her in private about the situation yet in front of that person she has to confront them and therefore feels like the villain again. She feels like nothing is ever good enough. Last season Jason complained Bethenny didn't go see his parents enough then Bethenny reveals that he says now every 7 weeks isn't enough even though  they see Bryn every 3-4 weeks, it's about time he understand her demanding work schedule and deal with the fact that she will see them when she has time, Jason's parents seem like great people and are probably more understanding about the situation.

Bethenny has decided that her apartment she once thought was so perfect they have now out grown. Really?! Bethenny was in her home office, that you could put in an envelope and mail for 45 cents, with Bryn on her lap, false eyelashes in her hand, surrounded by at least 4 people, an assistant working in the hallway. "I'm running an empire and we don't have a seat for every ass". And then everyone tells her they crawl under the desks as a tunnel because of all the things that occur in the office it sometimes is the only way around, yes it is time to get a new place and indeed they have!!

Bethenny tells us she has never owned anything in her life and so this is a huge moment for her and Jason. She allowed Jason to handle most of the dealings because he has owned property. I love though that while he's on the phone discussing apartment details Bethenny is making jokes, yet we all know if the deal didn't go through or plans were not executed her way she would stop the joking and become all serious making it happen in true Bethenny form. 

Apartment deal is closed and they become the proud owners of a new apartment that they will be decorating and refurbishing! An office far away from their living area, a big master bedroom, 2 kids rooms, a possible huge closet that Bethenny says "needs to say Mama, you have arrived!", 3 bathrooms, huge windows, wide open space and of course a phenomenal kitchen, sounds like home sweet home to me.

Bethenny and Jason celebrate their new home with champagne discussing her never having owned anything not being able to pay rent sometimes and doing whatever she could to make it happen "selling handbags",even "hookin'" she jokes, so here's to "no more hookin' for your rent" Bethenny you have earned it!


Until next time!

Kandi Defends Her Statement About Kim

To contact us Click HERE

Bravo

"First off, I do not think Kim would have gone to Africa, even if she hadn’t just had the baby, and I don’t see her spending time at an orphanage, especially not the one we went to in Africa. I said it then and I said it to Kim when we discussed it later (which you will see on next week’s episode), AND I STILL SAY IT NOW.  That’s my opinion, but I wasn’t trying to diss Kim by saying that. I do not think Kim is racist.  I let my daughter spend the night with her on multiple occasions. I’ve taken family tripswith her off camera. I wouldn’t do that with someone I thought was a racist. It irritated me so much,  because Kim and I already had not been hanging out or talking as much as we used to for the past year, so we definitely did not need any extra drama. Especially over something I didn’t say." -Kandi Burruss

A night of ball busting fun with food, love, babies and a fun weekend!
 
Bethenny put a whole new image of oysters in all of heads last night while having lunch with Hoda. The waiter describes the oysters a "plump, clean and juicy," knowing nothing about oysters it sounded a little odd and possibly sexual to me but Bethenny came right out and said "Oh like my wazoo!" The waiter I don't think had a clue as to how to respond or even react to such a statement, I'm not sure I have ever had a waiter that would know!

Bethenny and Hoda do get some serious talk in as well. Discussing Hoda's love life and how happy she is to "still feel butterflies at 47." It is extremely inspiring to women to know this because it shows us that we should maybe focus more on ourselves and drop the mold that we should be married by 30 and have kids and a happy home. Women should choose to focus on their careers and dream big and allow love to come when love wants to.

Nick, the food blogger, is still working with Bethenny and in order to blog they must crawl...food crawl that is. Nick really knows food and all the best places to take Bethenny. He becomes very dominant and commanding when ordering food or choosing a place to eat. However that didn't stop the shy, reserved Nick from coming out. Bethenny gets her eyebrows threaded and he doesn't want to intrude like it's a private moment or she's "being filmed in a porno." Bethenny convinces Nick his eyebrows or uni-brow needs a trim and now is the time and place to get it done. Thank you Bethenny!! She insists it will help a little with the ladies and win him a date, I guess we need to stay tuned to find out!
 
Girls weekend in Montauk!!! Bethenny takes Bryn and a weekend away from work to go and have fun with a few of her close friends and their children. It was a no boys allowed weekend along with "no crackberry, just R&R and cocktails."  Cookie was along as well and mauled another man. We laughed the whole season of Bethenny Getting Married? watching Cookie attack Shawn the weeding planner, now Cookie has gone after another man while in Montauk. Either she was serious about no boys allowed or she only attacks men she finds attractive, I certainly do!  Everyone is busting Bethenny's balls "or ovaries" to have another baby. "What are they like Lay's potato chips you can't have just one?" Bryn being an only child is perfect, she's so happy and "there will never be another perfect baby so why bother?" We even got to see Bryn's first sentence in Montauk, "I'm the baby." It was a wonderful moment and Bethenny looked like the proud mom she is. Bethenny and Jason definitely got it right the first time so if a second child does not happen I'm sure the family they have created will be just as happy and full of love, but we all wish them both the best.
 
At the clam bake Bethenny arranged it was clear she is a natural mother. She wonders why all the moms are together yet she is with the children. Back on RHONY Bethenny was surrounded by children then too. At Alex and Simon's sons' birthday party Bethenny sat on the floor with all of them and their toys while the parents were socializing. It was so fun seeing everyone happy and truly looking relaxed.
 
When Bethenny and a couple of her friends went out the next night a man in costume may have had a bit too much to drink because to him Bethenny was Benjamin Franklin. I see how the two can be confused, Benjamin gave us the light bulb Bethenny gave us the light drink, very comparable! 
Later that same night though Bethenny gets serious and emotional with us explaining how her circle of friends is closed because trust is so important and she only has a few close friends. She also reveals having met her step father's daughter and how their situations can be very similar because neither one had a present father. I thought it could have been a great opportunity for Bethenny to have a sister like bond with her but she tells us no contact information was exchanged.
Bethenny tells us Jason often tells her she doesn't understand because she doesn't know what it's like to have a family or that she doesn't come from a family and to me that was so hurtful to hear because Bethenny does feel her step father was like her real father and she wants him to know that and have that honor, she knows that at some point in her life yes she felt like she had a family. She points out that everyone is always saying how happy Bryn is, "of course she's happy she's loved." I feel like even though Bethenny has a husband and beautiful baby she still feels unworthy or undeserving of the love shown to her. Bethenny's wish is that Bryn is not like her, "I want her to be soft and sweet and nice and not hard and a survivor like me."


After a night of fun it was a very emotional end but that is reality and that is what Bethenny has always promised us and as fans we love her for it!!

Tamra Responds to Slade's Comedy Skit

To contact us Click HERE

Bravo

"Slade's stand up brings mixed emotions for me since things with Gretchen are so much better this year. The battle between me, Gretchen, Slade, and Vicki has been going on for years and it is by far not one sided. I don't like the fact that Slade is acting like the victim, as if our "accusations" ruined his life. He is just as much to blame. His stand up is a perfect example of the things that have happened to put a wedge in our friendship through out the years. I am not condoning any of what has gone on between us. We were all to blame for this long and hurtful fight. We are all responsible for our own actions. I was just hoping that when me and Gretchen started patching things up that Slade would lay off a little. I guess it is going to take him some time to get to that point?

I actually felt sorry for Gretchen, you could see on her face that she was not happy that Slade went against her wishes. I know it caused a lot of problems between everyone. I'm sure it did with them too. The big questions is "Why weren't Vicki and I invited?' I think we all know the answer to that question! On the flipside, I know he was doing stand-up comedy and I have yet to see a comedian that isn't ripping on someone just to get a laugh. . .but I didn't hear much laughing going on that night! I think Slade's mom should have been on stage. She cracks me up.One thing that I don't like is when men degrade woman about their looks. No one is perfect. So many woman are insecure and battle eating disorders and have plastic surgery because they have been put down by men. NO COOL!"Read Tamra's entire Bravo blog here

How Would Cynthia Have Handled NeNe's Situation With Bryson?

Bravo

"As a mother myself, if my child committed a small, stupid, low-level crime and ended up in jail, I would want to teach them a lesson for sure," Cynthia explains in her Bravo blog. However, I would never want my child in a situation that could be dangerous or even fatal. I would worry myself to death! I believe in tough love, but I guess you really don't know how you will react until you are actually put in that situation. My heart really went out to NeNe, because I knew what she was going through. She was very conflicted, because even though Bryson is a young man, he is still her baby.  I'm just glad Bryson is OK, and I hope he learned his lesson. If he goes back again, Lord help him, because NeNe may just call the judge herself and tell him to keep him in there!"

Fran Drescher Against Aviva Drescher Doing Housewives

Zimbio

Fran Drescher, cousin of one of the Real Housewives of New York City newcomers, will be a guest tonight on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live.  This is interesting because Fran didn't seem to be too hip with the idea of Aviva Drescher joining the cast.  Here's what she said about it:

"I would never [do a reality show]. First of all, I don't like them.  It appeals to the lowest common denominator.  It's not really reality, because they have to have conflict in them to have people sitting there.  I've never flipped a table in my life.  I'm scared to admit it, but one of my cousins is one of the new Housewives of New York."

It was another night of laughs but tears in the end.

First off, I love Dwayne!!! Bethenny's driver is so funny, so hot, and so perfect as a car companion for Bethenny. She says she takes a joke or humor over work and then beats herself up for it, personally I think with your driver it's totally fine. Seriously Dwayne called her a "Pitbull in a skirt", and she definitely is. It's a compliment!! He is HYSTERICAL!!! I'm so glad Bethenny found him because he seriously makes car ride talks on lingerie, baby wipes, hustling, boob sizes a great time and he's always keeping it real "100%" of the time.


Back in Montauk for the annual Skinny Girl party. It seemed like matchmaking was the business and not alcohol. Bethenny pairs Matt her business partner in Skinny Girl Nutritional with Julie's sister Jonnie. "Hot + Hot = Hotter. Hot people like each other." They seem to really hit it off and the next morning when Bethenny asks her if she likes her cards or wants a new hand Jason steps in to say that if he had said that in a group she would have called him a pig. Bethenny explains that there's a lot of arguing or nit picking because they haven't been together long enough to just say "oh my God he's a pain in the ass or oh this is how he is I'll just deal with it". The bickering gives Julie anxiety; it gives all us viewers anxiety as well because we love them together so much that watching them argue is physically painful. But they do love each other and make up and Bethenny tells Dwayne that she tortures herself but Jason is the one who gets tortured. She doesn't know if her career is good for her even though she's good at it because it makes her crazy and stressed. I feel that is life and work and if you are good at something you should run with it and take it far. Bethenny has taken her brand very far and continues to grow; she is a true inspiration to women everywhere.

Jason and Bethenny do get alone time so they take a boat out and spend the day together. What I want to know is how the hat stayed on Bethenny's head during the boat ride. The brim is flopping around like crazy and never once did she hold on or say "oh I hope my hat doesn’t fly off!" What was it glued down or something?? Everyone else wearing that hat would have lost it or died trying to keep it on.
 
Back to reality, Jason and Bethenny begin the renovations of their new apartment. Bethenny still can not believe that they really are moving into this great apartment that they own. She thinks it is too good to be true that we could buy something and have a place to own and make memories in. "Part of me feels like a baller!" When Jason says "you deserve it mama" Bethenny corrects him by saying "we" it was a nice moment that made me think isn't it great to see that Bethenny is making a conscious effort to include Jason like that.

Bravo

 
She wants the apartment to be something they both love and are both proud of, She's also making a conscious effort to have Jason feel "like his stamp is on our home." She is still all about the closet! "I want a closet I want to be able to see all of my stuff. Maybe not have my shoes on top of my underwear" What woman doesn’t want a huge closet to see all their stuff, a women's best friend may be diamonds but the shoes are a definite very close 2nd best friend. 
The contractor expresses his concerns and admits he is nervous to do a 6 month job in the 3 months Bethenny and Jason have to be out of their current apartment. A little spoiler, Bethenny has revealed the apartment still isn't done, good luck Bethenny!

Bravo

 
Apparently Grandma and Grandpa have come for a visit and they have put Bryn in a sandbox! OMG I even freaked at that one. It's not just sandboxes in Manhattan Bethenny, it is sandboxes anywhere that are like urinals, so gross! However Bethenny decides a little Sangria in the middle of the day for her and Julie is needed, so fun! They have a toast to the "original crew" of just Bethenny and Julie in an apartment. Julie says she misses it a bit because it used to be easier just because it was the two of them. Although she does admit she probably could not have done this job as long as she has because there was never a time when Bethenny did not want to work and now that she has Jason and Bryn she looks forward to weekends and hopes she doesn't hear from Julie. This takes me back when Bethenny and Bryn first arrived in Montauk and she took Bryn out to play in the sprinklers, being mindful it could not be long because Bryn did not have sunscreen on. I can not get enough of Bethenny being a mom. I always thought I could never picture her in the mom role because she is so career minded but it really makes her glow and if she lost everything tomorrow I do not think it would destroy her like it may have a few years ago because she is so happy in her role as a mom and a wife.
 
However being a wife has brought its challenges this season. Dr. Amador brings up the idea of this Relationship Renewal Workshop that he has and explains that the couples have to work together not only as a couple but also as a crew.  They spend hundreds of miles at sea and decisions have to be made and prepare for adversity. He explains it is like preparing for marriage, you have to throw away the idealized images you have to make marriage work and what actually needs to happen to have it work. Bethenny is open minded to going but when she brings it up to Jason he really is not. He is concerned he might not like what Dr. Amador has to say because he thinks everyone can work it out for themselves and does not need therapy and that therapists can say things about you that you may not like to hear. He says, "We are two different people and we look at things differently." Bethenny understands that and assures him she is not trying to change him but he isn't so sure. She says she has made big strides in the areas of money, family, and religion but he also feels he's made similar strides. Her problem is communication and feels that Jason won't communicate with her the same way he does at home. She says he thinks she picks every battle and she's always wrong and he does everything right. Jason thinks an apology is never enough for her she keeps going. She expresses that he always says "omg here we go" at the beginning of a brewing argument making her feel crazy and I can understand that but the simple conversation turned into an argument, "it happens a lot lately."
 
It was another sad ending to a great episode and from watching the previews for next week, it looks like the sad and frustrating times continue.

Does Gretchen Rossi Consider Herself a Celebrity?

"Reality stars are the most fleeting type of celebrity out there,"  Gretchen Rossi says in her interview with Socialite Life.  "I don’t see myself as a celebrity. I see myself as a young, hard-working woman that took advantage of an opportunity. It trips me out a little, and I’m flattered of course, but I remind everyone that I’m just like them. I’m just excited that I’m able to possibly empower other people to do something good in their lives or create something new."

It was not a night full of laughs more... of a night full of self reflection and harsh reality for Bethenny and Jason.
 
Bethenny is really struggling with being labeled as the bad guy and she wants a change. Some of the people closest with Bethenny are telling her that isn't her anymore because she is making an effort to change. They're suggesting maybe Jason has issues he's struggling with and that therapy may allow him to work on the issues and understand why he is taking it out on her. She thinks she has become almost obsessive with her relationship and wonders if Jason thinks about it too.
 
It was a lot of work, work, work!!!! Work on the apartment has turned frustrating! Marc the architect can't get a response from the intertior designers and so when Bethenny meets with Marc she then has to call the designers and ends up telling them basically what needed to be done to move forward. Her hiring the best should mean that they can communicate and make things happen. Jason ends up calling Bethenny when she meets with the interiior designers and over speaker phone chews them out saying that the lack of communication is unacceptable and everyone needs to be sticking to the timeline. Thankfully answers were given and all seems to have been smoothed over for the time being. 
 
More work... Bethenny meets with a web design team to create her new Skinny Girl website that reflects her and is a "world within a world" where fans can talk to each other about everything. When Bethenny asks what Skinny Girl means to the web designers they give her some general answers and seemed to just in a round about way to say they loved her and her brand and how happy they were to be the designers. Bethenny simply said " I don't need you to love me and tellme how great I am. I just need you to do exactly what I'm telling you I want it to do."
 
Before the web designers arrived Bethenny had a heart to heart with Julie and Jackie. She expressed that communication should improve so that business could improve and have a little clean up. She also asked both if they planned to be in New York for the long haul and then emotions started running especially with Julie. I think she's beginning to want to branch out maybe do her own thing but she doesn't want Bethenny to think she isn't being loyal to her however Bethenny reassures her that she would never think that and I think after watching their relationship and Julie being Bryn's godmother, that would never happen. Julie is wanting to know what she wants next in life yet she doesn't know and then she gets frustrating and shuts down, much like we have seen Bethenny do over the years. All Bethenny wants is what is best for Julie and Jackie because if it is right for them it will be right for Skinny Girl and Bethenny.

Do to all the stress Bethenny has been feeling she decides to go see a chiropractor. it ends up that they have met before and while he is asking her health questions to determine what he may be able to do for her she asks questions back at him. "Do you sleep well? Are you married? I'm going to set you up with my friend after this. Do you want to tell me about your history then?" He really was a "tough nut to crack." He was not playing into Bethenny and her joking he was a serious and wanting to do his job well. Surprise...not! He ends up telling her she needs to slow down! "I get it Doc. I need to take a vacation but crack my damn back."
 
Hghlight of the night was Bethenny gets a girls night out with her friend Veronica while Jason has Brynn and Cookie at his parents for a visit. The coversation turns to Jason and some issues and how the second year of marriage is harder and how the farting begins. Bethenny being Bethenny takes this oppurtunity to ask the bartender some questions and learns he has a wife that he does not fart in front of. "What do you do? Take one of the corks from a bottle and stick it up your ass and pray for the best?" "He understands suffering for romance."
 
So it has been decided Bethenny and Jason are going to go with Dr. Amador out to sea for the relationship workshop. During therapy Bethenny discusses the unlying theme of the whole episode, Jason's birthday fiasco. She had planned for him and his best friend to go golfing and she and Jason had a romantic dinner and then at the end of the weekend he tells her she should have included his parents because it was his fortieth birthday. This is after he had acknowledged always being negative towards her and that he would never do it again. He tells her she should have involved his parents right before they went to bed and that really bothered her because he would go right to sleep but she would end up awake for hours obsessing and worrying over it. She was extremely hurt by this and had a really hard time recovering from it. She's feeling as though she is putting so much energy into the relationship and being someone she isn't and that because she has failed so much in her past that everything must be her fault. She thinks Jason is not where he thought he would be in work and resents that it is all Bethenny. However she can not change that and doens't know what to do becasue she told him how it would be in the beginning of relationship and he was fine with it. In the public we see Jason being the supportive husband but in the home he is not like that and she's feeling alone and like she is going insane. She continues to try and reduce the fighting between them and Dr. Amador says that speaks volumes of how committed she is to her family and Jason and anyone watching this season can see she definately is.
 
The morning Bethenny and Jason are suppose to leave for the relationship workshop they end up in another fight about his birthday weekend and Bethenny has had it. She wants Jason to take 50% responsibility for the relationship and wishes when she tried to discuss their issues or her concerns he would want to as well. He finally asks her if everyone thinking he is such a perfect husband bothers her so much and she tells him that it does. So he walks away saying, "I'm done. It's not worth it to me."
 
It was a horrible and emotional ending to a very heavy episode but we get the results of the fight next week!!
