Here we go with the Bachelor in Vegas. First up – the funeral director and Crystals. And what do they do…they only go on my ultimate dream date – an extravagant shopping spree. Except I’d like to go on that date by myself and perhaps a gay best friend. The jealousy in those women’s eyes was priceless
So Brad tells Shawntel that her job is fascinating but when she starts talking about it, he is telling the camera he is freaked out. When she asks, though, he tells her he’s alright with it. Make up your mind, Brad! Now, I admit her job completely gives me the creeps but I’m not the one on that date (thank goodness). But apparently, he likes her and she is the “hottest funeral director” he’s ever met which makes me wonder just how many funeral directors he knows.
Now I wonder, if he hadn’t given her the rose, do they still set off the fireworks?
On to the races. Michelle is seriously strange and kind of obsessed with herself. I think her self-love goes far beyond conceited.
I truly feel for Emily though. What a tough date to deal with. Obviously this was a setup from the producers. I’m glad Brad felt so bad and I love that he was there for her. I just don’t get how you get over that. Losing someone you love that much and trying to move on would be so hard.
I get that these other girls are envious he wants to spend so much time with her. If he wanted to spend one-on-one time with you, he’d make it happen. I hate the way Alli approaches the situation and I actually like how Chantal dealt with things. I truly dislike women who throw a pity party for themselves. Get over yourself. You knew what you signed up for so just put your big girl panties on and deal with it.
So Brad’s feeling for crazy (Michelle)? Is it lust or love? I think it’s just a physical attraction. So when he gets done making out with her and still decides to give Emily the rose, it makes me probably almost as happy inside as it makes her.
Now for the Ashley date. The two-on-one date is so uncomfortable. And truly, I feel like the entire date is just each of them talking to the camera about how hard it is to be on the date. We didn’t get to hear any of the conversation and I feel like I don’t know why he’s made the choice he did. And his elimination is so harsh. Did she even get to eat the fabulous food from Sage?
This whole therapist thing is starting to make me think maybe all Bachelors and Bachelorettes need to have a therapist guiding them along the way. Maybe we’d have more happy endings? Who knows? Maybe the girls need therapy. There’s no question some of them could definitely use a few sessions.
This cocktail party made me like Brad even more. He is honest and real and he truly focuses on what the women need, individually and as a whole.
And I think it made Brad realize that Michelle is truly nuts. She “doesn’t need him to say much?” Well he can’t say much when you practically muzzle him.
So who goes home? Not our beloved funeral director, the dancing dentist or my favorite, Emily. Apparently, he loves a little crazy because Michelle stays too along with Alli, Britt, Jackie and Chantal.
Twenty-two down, eight to go. On to Costa Rica next but before we go, I must say that I’m upset the group went to Vegas, stayed at CityCenter and no one had the lobster mac n’ cheese from Beso.
Oh well. Until next time…

Big day blues, boobs and bye-byes
No one else but Atlanta could pull off opening a season finale with a full out drag queen concert and I loved every minute of it. Ok, maybe Vegas could pull it off. Perhaps that’s why I liked it so much.
So Cynthia says when she got back from Florida, she tried to not think about any of her problems and just focus on the wedding. Maybe I’m confused but I was pretty sure the wedding was the problem. Maybe she finally agrees with me that the real problem is the groom.
I get so frustrated listening to Kandi talk to Kim. I feel like she just needs to spit out how she really feels. Tell her she wronged you, treated you badly and consistently acts unappreciative of everything you’ve done for her. And Kim’s explanation of how the money should be split is hilarious! The producers only spend two days on it and she has to go perform it. The best – she “had” to get a boob job to look good on stage. She can’t be serious! I hope Kandi reacts to that on the reunion.
While Sheree’s audition wasn’t that great, they were really tough on her. I feel like they did that just to spite her because of the cameras. That’s really unfair. She’s not a great actress but they were really cruel.
On to the Big Day! So I don’t get what the big deal was on Kithe telling Cynthia he had a car ready if she wanted to run. That’s a normal joke. And it’s just that – a joke. But obviously people are picking up on her true unhappiness. It is definitely more than stress. Isn’t a wedding day supposed to be happy? I feel like I’m watching a funeral.
And I must say this – a mother always knows. She sees right through the situation. It’s just sad that it took until the days leading up and day of the wedding for her family to tell her how they feel. When a marriage starts off badly, how is it supposed to end well? When people can’t communicate, which Peter has proven he can’t, you can’t have a strong relationship.
Take a look at Greg and Nene. Dishonesty and disloyalty are results of a complete lack of communication. Sometimes it’s too little too late but who really wants to wait until that point?
Kim’s boobs were seriously about to pop out of her dress and I truly wonder how many cigarettes she smoked in that one hour while she got ready. I can imagine her house smells like an ashtray.
So the marriage license is “missing.” Both Cynthia’s sister and her mom are debating whether or not to sabotage the wedding by not giving the license to Cynthia. Isn’t it a sign when your own family doesn’t want you to get married? I wonder how Peter will feel when he sees the playback of this episode – knowing his mother- and sister-in-law dislike him that much.
What is with all of the boobage at this wedding? Between Kim and Nene we could start a baby-feeding factory. Phaedra definitely gets best dressed.
But it all came down to the end – the look in Peter’s eyes. It made me remember why I love weddings. Though, I could have done without the extra ear, I mean bow next to Cynthia’s head.
Season wrap-up notes:
Nene – I hope you get your happy back girl! Seriously, drama or not, she’s still my favorite.
Kandi – I truly hope she makes it in music and one day finds the courage to tell Kim how she really feels. And I really hope they capture that moment on camera so I can watch.
Phaedra – I think she’s the only housewife that has it altogether – a husband, a family and a career. I know we’ve had our differences but as long as her baby isn’t on display at the baptism, I think we’ll be alright.
Sheree – After all that hard work and dealing with mean panels during auditions, she might actually make it in acting. Good for her! It’s nice to see a woman be successful independent of a man.
Kim – I love that she has to house hunt for a new home to fit one extra person. Her daughter’s room is the size of my apartment but I guess it would be too much to ask for people to live in such close quarters. I wonder if her baby will come out of the womb with a wig on.
Cynthia – I’m glad she and Peter worked things out and are still happily married. I truly wish the best in life for people who deserve it and I think she’s a good person - from what I can tell on television anyway.
The yelling, the screaming, the drama – can’t wait for the reunion!

Reunions of the rich and famous - part I
I have been beyond excited for this reunion of the fabulous housewives of Beverly Hills. First I must comment on the outfits so we’ll just break it down, shall we?
Adrienne – Love the dress. It’s simple but sexy. The bracelet is great. The shoes are to die for! But those earrings?! They looked like skeletons. Not sure I liked them.
Kim – I appreciate the tights because I know what we’re working with but I’m not sure I like the sheer black. The dress is simple. Overall, she’s not too overdone but not too boring.
Camille – I feel like it was a less exciting version of her dress she wore in the show opener. She looked pretty but it wasn't anything spectacular.
Lisa – I was truly expecting something so out-of-the-park and I think she really nailed it in an unexpected way. That jewelry is fabulous and the belt on the dress is incredible. Well done. As usual.
Taylor – Taylor looked really pretty but just that. Nothing too glamorous or exciting and after spending 60 grand on a four year old girl’s birthday, I was expecting a little more.
Kyle – Leave the leaves on the tree. I think it could work but the leaves on the shoulders and then the earrings right there as well – it’s all too much.
I was slightly disappointed when they went right into drilling Camille. I thought we’d get some of the easy stuff out of the way first. Then I realized, if this is what they’re starting with, the rest of the show is going to be damn good.
And, ladies, don’t think we didn’t notice the side glances from all of you as Camille went on about the only reason she did the show was because of Kelsey. Oh, I’m sorry – Kelsey Grammer. I wouldn’t want anyone to get confused as to which Kelsey I’m referring to, right Camille?
All-in-all, I still feel bad for what Camille had to go through. It’s one of those things you have to accept when you allow cameras to come into your life but it’s still rough and I think she’s handled it, for the most part, with composure, class and just the right amount of vulnerability.
Now I really don’t get the whole Taylor and Kim battle royale. You don’t like each other so just stop trying to be friends and just be civil. And that part of the show ended so awkwardly. I think Kim was afraid to speak in fear she might say something stupid (which is very possible).
I loved the montage of Lisa’s clips. It brought me back to some of my favorite one-liners of the show. And then there’s the DMV. I don’t blame Lisa for being scared at the DMV. Anyone should be, really. It has nothing to do with rich or poor. I am fearful at the DMV and I probably couldn’t afford one bead on Lisa’s necklace.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it once again – I don’t think there is anything wrong with Adrienne’s marriage. Not that anyone is accusing them of anything but I agree with what Adrienne said: “It’s real.” And it definitely is. Perfection is not the norm. No one is ever always happy and I wouldn’t want to be. It’s the disagreements and the hard times that make you stronger. Moving away from my savvy relationship advice, I have to say it’s hilarious that someone asked Lisa how much she thinks Adrienne is worth.
It had to be discussed! The dispute we’ve wanted to see hashed out. Finally! So here we go. Wow. Intense! What bothers me is that I guess I was under the false impression that no one on these reality shows spoke unless a camera was around. Bravo, you have let me down. Take note from The Bachelor (who I believe has those rules in place) and stop the off-camera conversations. This whole situation could have been avoided. So after back and forth comments and snide remarks who is to blame? Could the argument have ended in New York after Kyle “made peace” if Taylor would have shut her big lips? I think that’s possible but not what would have ensued. These are six very wealthy, somewhat selfish women who are always looking out for number one. I think the cattiness would have continued regardless.
And the Kyle/Camille war continues next week when we also get to find out if Kim has a drinking problem. See you then!
P.S. Bethenny Ever After premieres Feb. 28 – what a great birthday present! I can think of no better way to celebrate.

The Bachelor Drama Reel Take 4
Michelle is officially nuts! I have no doubt she gave herself that black eye. And go Ashley S. for wanting to give her one. She's really pretty but...as my friend Aly said: "No amount of pretty can cover up that much crazy."
Chantal is so cheesy: "I did it because he's worth it." Ugh. And "I could definitely be Chantal Womack." You've spent all of one hours time with the guy. Get real.
I just don't get it. How do people like Michelle know what's good for Brad? It bothers me that these women can think that a man can only like one type of girl. If every girl looked and acted exactly the same, there wouldn't be a competition.
And I disagree with Michelle. I think Brad and Chantal are great together. I'm no relationship expert but they are very natural - in conversation, in physicality, everything.
So the Dr. Drew date - a little strange but altogether it made me like Brad that much more.
And Britt. You had your ears so well-hidden at the Dr. Drew interview and then all of a sudden you go to the second half of the date and you have an awful blush line leading right up to your gigantic ears adorned with heart-shaped earrings. Seriously?
Then Ashley H. walks in with her wide forehead doing nothing but complaining and obviously drunk. She has been on my nerves since day one. Her dancing around in her socks claiming she's cavity-free...so obnoxious. And because Ashley acted like an idiot, ears triumph over forehead and Britt gets the rose.
When Brad took Ashley aside the next day, I really thought Michelle might jump up and slit someone's throat! I love that Chantal confronted her too about the first group date.
She is seriously crazy. And a drama queen. He had to pick her to repel down a building with - of course. I hope crazy isn't contagious. That kiss (and her cheesy confessional) almost made me vomit.
I can't believe they actually brought in his therapist. Do they feel they need to prove he's committed to getting better? Basically, Brad, your therapist told you it's ok to be a whore. Good stuff. There are probably a lot of people out there who would pay to hear that advice. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
I love, love, love that Brad took some time to set aside for my favorite, Emily at the rose ceremony. She so deserves someone special.
And then we get back to Chantal. Who I truly wonder about. I mean, she works for her dad and is an executive assistant. Blood relation doesn't get you a better job title?
Well another week and three girls are gone. Next week will be so much better. All the usual suspects:
The sweetheart: Emily
The crazy: Michelle
The drama queen/drunk: Ashley H.
The southern belle: Ashley S.
The front runner: Chantal O.
And then there's the rest of them who will eventually go home.
Until next time...

The party to end all things
A sad day has come upon us. The Season Finale of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It’s been probably one of my top two seasons of Housewives so far so, without further ado, here we go!
It’s still sad to watch someone go through what Camille is going through, no matter how horrible a person she may be. That red dress is absolutely fabulous, though. So at least she looked amazing even if she didn’t feel it.
Now Kyle bringing her mom’s ashes and locks of hair – a little weird, don’t you think? And did the psychic really give her anything she can use?
I knew there was an ulterior motive behind Lisa’s lunch with Taylor and sure enough, she grilled her on the New York thing. I think I believe Taylor when she says she didn’t get in the middle, although there isn’t really a full story on what was said between Taylor and Camille in the hotel room in New York. Maybe this can eventually be hashed out at the reunion. The reunion always brings answers, right? ;)
And I think I’m going to start using the phrase “flying fig” – just for kicks.
Can Kim really blame not knowing how to do her makeup on working as a child? I mean, you were a childhood actress! You watched your makeup get done day-in and day-out by professionals. Far better tips, I’m sure, then your pre-teen friends.
On to Taylor’s party…
Ok Taylor – if he’s never had fun and laughed with you and your friends before, what makes you think he’s going to all of a sudden do it now? It’s so sad that as soon as they hop in the limo, he immediately jumps on his phone.
Love, love, love Adrienne’s shoes! Gianfranco Ferre – genius! However, it need not be said, my heart belongs to Louboutin.
So Kim is drunk. That’s obvious from the first sight of her. She looks drunk every time she’s on camera. And, according to the reunion teaser, this may be more of a serious issue. For now though, she’s just a drunken former child actress.
Now, on to Russell’s speech. So freaking impersonal! Truly, how could you not have more to say than “she’s really hot” about your wife, your best friend? Awful! I think Lisa’s right about Taylor craving the Beverly Hills lifestyle over her own happiness. Dumb! And then even more stupid to confront Kim at her own party. Of course, in true Housewives fashion, they all decide to get into it in front of the entire party. Good times.
I don’t even know what to say about this argument between Kim and Kyle. With sisters of my own, I couldn’t imagine fighting with them like that. End of season briefing says they haven’t talked in weeks. Sad. I’m interested to see where they stand now when the reunion airs.
As for Lisa, I’m glad she finally made Cedric move out. He completely took advantage of her. I don’t care what his background is. You should never take advantage of your friends.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. She’ll probably never leave that boring geek. I guess as long as he’s still paying for her lip injections, she’ll stick around.
I love the Maloofs. Yes, I am aware that Paul’s last name is not Maloof but does it really matter? I don’t think there is anything wrong with their marriage. Bickering is normal. People who get along all the time scare me. So bicker on Bickersons.
Kim – you need help. I knew that before I knew you had a drinking problem. I can’t wait until this woman has to watch herself on television. Hopefully she’s sober enough to take it all in.
And Camille – her situation is really sad. I think she’ll be just fine though. I mean, Nick is bound to get a divorce any day now so…. But really, she seemed pretty good at flirting while she was married so I’m sure dating won’t be a problem.
Last but not least – Kyle. You are so right: friends are great but there is nothing like a sister so stop acting like a Beverly Hills snob and make things right.
Oh, excuse the jumpiness. This episode was a little here and there and I’m just writing as I go.
Well, my RHOBH fans – it’s sad to see the season end but I am so anxious for the reunion. See you all next week for what is sure to be the best reunion yet.
It’s still sad to watch someone go through what Camille is going through, no matter how horrible a person she may be. That red dress is absolutely fabulous, though. So at least she looked amazing even if she didn’t feel it.

Oh, excuse the jumpiness. This episode was a little here and there and I’m just writing as I go.
Well, my RHOBH fans – it’s sad to see the season end but I am so anxious for the reunion. See you all next week for what is sure to be the best reunion yet.
Kim vs. Nene - Round I (well, this season)
For a second, I actually thought that the “Tardy for the Party” ringtone was for Kim’s phone. I have to say her face when she saw Nene talking crap about her on her TV show was priceless. And I love that she is shocked to see the rural parts of Georgia. I guess it is pretty hard to see through that wig.
I love that Cynthia and Peter are having so many problems and they are each on totally different pages. Cynthia seems to think she is a partner in “their” business and Peter doesn’t seem to think he needs to clue her in on anything. Aside from the fact that they’ve been planning this extravagant wedding when they have no money. So Cynthia gets upset and Peter’s response is that he will “never, ever tell her anything again.” Yes. Further lack of communication is sure to solve all of your problems. My goodness, why did you ever think you needed to see a marriage counselor?!
On a designer note – I think Phaedra’s kitchen is, by far, the ugliest. And for the one housewife who actually uses it (and by use I mean cooks herself – not hire a chef to cook for you), you would think she would want to spruce it up a bit.
If only I could write Nene’s facial expressions during Kim’s performance. They were truly priceless. I just don’t get how anyone could listen to her and then look her in the eye and tell her “that was good.”
“Clearly, she’s jealous of my success.” Really, Kim?! Really?! That is wonderful! I am totally siding with Nene on this one. And I love that Kim keeps insisting that so much work goes into singing a song each night. Keyword being “a.” Did you miss that? You may have. Because I said “a,” yes, “a’ song. Just one. She has really talked herself into this one. I’m just waiting for Nene to rip Kim’s wig off. Shouldn’t be too hard since it looks like it’s about to fall off at any second. And then Kim goes to confide in who else but the bus driver.
Off to Miami next week.

Delayed flight to ATL routed through Newark
I'm sorry to disappoint Housewives fans tonight but I'm sure you've already been lucky enough to catch the latest drama from the Atlanta ladies. I, on the other hand, am not as fortunate. My steadfast DVR failed me (yet again) and my RHOA did not record this week (along with The Bachelor). So tonight, we will instead visit my long lost siblings from the Jersey Shore.
Now although this is my first entry on these spectacular east coasters, I have been a fan of the show since the beginning. This week, Sammi is still insane, Mike is still egotistical and Snooki is still drunk.
The Kitchen Ditchin’ – Mike’s signature move. It’s fantastic. It’s always been funny but it’s even better when he does it to his own roommate, especially Deena. Just when you thought there could be no one more annoying than Angelina, there’s Deena.
Nobody is crazier than Sammi. She has some serious trust issues. Don’t get me wrong, any girl is bound to have trust issues after the whole Ronnie/Miami fiasco, but don’t go accusing him of things when he’s spent every waking moment in a tiny bedroom having limited, boring conversation with you. Ever heard of “deny until you die” Sammi? Well, look it up. He’s not going to say a thing. Now you’ve just gone and made him mad so guess what – he’s going to go out with MVP, bring girls back home and now you’re stuck with no friends and no one to talk to.
Oh, Karma. This has to be such a waste-of-a-club now that these people have partied in the hottest nightclubs around the country. Obviously they respect it – I mean JWoww peed on the floor. If that’s not respect, I don’t know what is.
Question: What’s the difference between Snooki and drunk Snooki?
Answer: Her BAC level
Other than that, not much of a difference, am I right? Well, maybe balance and the ability to make slightly better choices.
Next week, we see if Snooki makes it out of jail. Oh wait, we already saw this on TMZ didn’t we? Well, that’s no fun.
Until next time…

Watch What Happens with Karma Camilleon
Tonight’s poll: “Would you have gone to the Tony’s with Kelsey if you were in Camille’s shoes?”
My answer: I suppose. For both the effort to work things out and to keep away the media frenzy that would come along with the couple being split.
OK - so the admittance on Camille’s part that they weren’t having sex completely explains why he left her. My mom always told me “if he’s not sleeping with you, he’s sleeping with someone else.” I guess Camille’s mom never told her that.
It’s so weird – they show the clips from the season and I can’t stand her but all-in-all, I really like Camille after this episode. I feel shame. I feel dirty. Too late. Once it’s out there, it’s out there. I’ll let you know if I regret it after the reunion.
In the meantime, maybe we’ll see Camille on Millionaire Matchmaker.

The Real Camille of Beverly Hills
I feel like I'm back to New Jersey. The one incident that keeps coming up "the New York brawl" is beginning to remind me of the infamous book. When, oh when will it go away?
I do like Lisa though. She's real. And no matter how snippy her comments are, she always sounds elegant. I really want to have a British accent in my next life. The complete opposite of Lisa would be Camille, usually. This episode, I actually feel like we are getting to see the real Camille and, unfortunately, I’m actually beginning to like her – sort of.
Cut to Kyle - shopping for her daughter's college graduation present. A platinum diamond ring?! She's going to have to find one hell of a man to compete with that. Can I just say that Kyle’s ex-husband, Guacamole…Guantanamo…whatever his name – he’s boring. This whole graduation made me love Kyle a little more. I was a little weary after the whole Camille battle but this just showed how real she is – at least when it comes to her family.
And finally! An explanation to Kim's strange ways. Her mom pushed her dreams of becoming an actress onto her. Stage Mom 101: your child will have major issues. Proof: Kim Richards.
And then there's Adrienne. Love her! But you should never take your husband shopping. Normally, you would just grab his credit card and go but in her case, there’s no need for that so really, why include him at all?
Back to Lisa – my idol. Wearing a pair of Louboutins whilst walking around a vineyard. Love, love, love. And that pink hat was adorable. But this whole thing with Cedric, it’s a little weird. I mean, I understand his background and I get why Lisa would want to be there for him but he’s an adult. Clip his diamond encrusted wings and make him move on with his life.
OK – now back to Camille. Cattiness aside and ignoring her kiss on the lips to Nick and the snide comment about 13 years of marriage to her soon-to-be ex, she really did look amazing in that red dress.
I am so looking forward to the season finale next week. Though, I am slightly devastated it’s all ending so quickly. I guess there’s always the reunion!
Good news fellow housewives fans! The crazies from New York are coming back! Only one month of previews before we get to see what is sure to be an underwhelming first episode for their third season. No worries, we’ve got plenty of drama to keep us entertained until then.

My Reality
I recently had a revelation that maybe I should put my reality TV addiction to good use. I know I'm a few days behind but who truly has time to watch TV as it airs? So I just watched this week's airing of Real Housewives of Atlanta and I was less than impressed. Although, next week's episode looks much more interesting.
Now onto Phaedra and her southern style "sip and see?" Really? I don't know what's more fake - Phaedra's "traditional southern ways" or Kim's hair! Nothing seems more genuine than putting your newborn baby on display while a bunch of adults get drunk and mingle like they actually like each other. And finally, we're on episode one million and five and she opens up about her husband's past. I love that these people forget everything they say and do is on national television. Like we wouldn't eventually find out that he really is a convict.
Oh Kim. Going on tour. She's ridiculous. Whoever told this woman she has any sort of talent should be shot. Really. And who hangs out in their bathrobe with a full face of makeup, completely accessorized? With a single called "The Ring Didn't Mean a Thing," you would think she would take the ring off.
I really like this Don Juan character. He has no problem making fun of Kim to her face and I'm loving every minute of it. The Hungry Hippo would have been a great idea for the name of a bar if it wasn't already a child's game. I did ignore that so I could get a good little chuckle at Kim's expense. I hope they keep this guy around for at least another couple of episodes to make it interesting.
That girl is truly ridiculous. "I knew that song was going to be a hit from the moment I heard it." Really? Does she really believe that? After all that crap she gave Kandi about how she didn't like it? Nothing's going to sound good when it's coming out of her mouth. Accept and move on.
Alright, Cynthia and Peter - word to the wise and to you: If you need a pre-marriage counselor, and you get in a huge, raging battle in front of him, perhaps marriage isn't the answer. Peter is so controlling and Cynthia's insecurities feed right into that. It's a ridiculous relationship and I'm sad for myself that I'm forced to watch it. Well, maybe not forced, but you know what I mean.
So...until tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get to enjoy the festivities of my favorite mess of filthy rich housewives from Beverly Hills tomorrow night. Stay tuned for the next Reali-T Check.
