Real Housewives of New York: I Guess Kelly's the Enemy Now? I can't keep who I'm supposed to hate on this show straight. First it was Ramona, then it was still Ramona, then Season 2 started and it seemed to be LuAnn for quite some time, and then last night happened, and I guess Kelly's the worst now? Pick a villain! Stick with it! All these editorial changes this season are too hard to keep track of. The only constant I can rely on is having Alex and Simon as punching bags, but you're not really supposed to hate them; I think we're supposed to just be in constant disbelief of them. Kelly thinks arthritis on a 16-year-old is "cute," so obviously she is far worse than two people who have an irrational need to pretend they are wealthy. That's a mental illness! It's called delusion! You're not supposed to hate the crazy; they can't help the way they are. Assholes, on the other hand, can usually help it. And Kelly's a pretty big asshole. Anyway, how about a RHoNY villain cage match? It's the only way. We have to.

In the blue corner, we have the OG villain, Ramona Singer:
I guess she's like the bitchy Godfather here -- kiss the ring, Kelly! Anyway, she has all kinds of problems. She's prone to rude and abrupt outbursts, holds grudges, tells people they're not allowed to be upset when they're not invited to dinner parties, tells people their husbands weren't invited to other people's dinner parties (even though they weren't), tells people their husbands are old men (even though they are), tells people's shallow husbands they're shallow, dances like a drunk cokehead and very often doesn't wear a shirt when walking the dog, when we'd all prefer she would. She's pretty bad, but I'd say she's more of a loud idiot than a bad person. That's why it's time to move on to LuAnn.

In the red corner, we have the RHoNY T-1000 equivalent villain, Countess LuAnn:
She really puts Ramona to shame in the if-the-French-Revolution-happened-here-she'd-be-first-order-of-guillotine-business department. As we all know, she's obsessed with insisting everyone refer to her as Countess, and has no qualms about correcting grown-ups who don't address her as such. Whatever, some people think it's the 19th century, and there's nothing we can do about that, but she's also appointed herself the second coming of Emily Post. Not that I have any reverence whatsoever for Emily Post -- who also appointed herself Best at Manners, because it's not like there's a Manners Olympics where one can rightfully earn such a title -- but still, LuAnn's a real asshole about that, too. There's literally not one thing she can't be a snob about. She had to order the pizza one time because her maid was on vacation and her children required food, and when they asked her name she told them "Countess," which is not her name; it's a meaningless title she golddug into. Which is a weird thing to be really haughty about when ordering pizza. It's weird to be haughty when ordering pizza at all, actually. It's a pretty lowbrow thing to do, no matter what you pretend your name is. There is no way to make ordering pizza a royal thing. And she's mean to her maid, regularly neglects her kids to go party, is the most condescending member of the cast, and one time she kind of told Bethenny that photos of her might require re-touching, and then didn't really apologize for the sort-of-insensitive but definitely thoughtless comment. If the T-1000 married a count and then fought the Godfather at a cancer center, I think we know which one would out-worst the other here. Time for Kelly.

In the purple corner (I had to commission a triangular cage), we have Leatherface as a former runway model, Kelly:
She's really neck-and-neck with LuAnn, as I think it's fairly clear those two have pushed Ramona from "the worst" to "merely twitchiest" on this show, but at least LuAnn tries to pretend she does charity work. Or is that worse? Depends on your perspective, but I say being aware that it's favorable to appear to help those in need when you are so undeservedly wealthy is a step up from being oblivious to that, which is what Kelly is. She's also a weird name-dropper, a pissing-contestant-with-Bethenny participator, and a self-important, self-involved person who, as I mentioned before, thinks it's cute that Jill's daughter has crippling premature arthritis. Plus she apparently beat up a guy the other day. Whoa.

I actually still think I hate LuAnn more, but that's just because I've known her longer. Give Kelly two or three more episodes like last night, and I'll be redirecting the angry mob.

As someone with arthritis, I wanted to jump through my tv and strangle Kelly with my claw-like hands. Cute? Baby bunnies are cute. Arthritis is nothing but sucky.

LuAnn does say awesome things like: "The Countess does not drink beer from a bottle" to hapless servers at parties in the Hamptons. Do not mess with people who have access to your food and/or drink.

Ramona actually brought up a good point when she said that part of having good manners is being gracious and making people feel at ease.

If it isn't about Kelly it isn't important. I think she looks like a man. Can't stand her.
I like LuAnn I think there is much irony there.
Ramona is just a nasty person.

And don't forget Kelly is a "very private person." Who is on a reality show. With her kids. And is wearing a microphone at all times.

Oh please start recapping the Housewives! They are such perfect targets for snark. I also liked Kelly's "I'm too busy for my own charities/I don't do charities" contradiction. Do any of these people realize they are being filmed for later broadcast?

Right now, my count is Ramona=silly, thoughtless; Countess=pretentious yet insecure; Kelly=clinging to a long-faded youth, dumb as a bag of weave-hair, mean as a snake.

I hope that Kelly isn't on Housewives next season. She is a major B.... I really love the show and Kelly is a total embarrasment to all housewives everywhere. She does not set a good example. I agree with Jill, wear a bra. Those boobs are nothing compared to the rest of the housewives. Sam, get away, get away fast or your reputation will be ruined too. Your a great chef and don't let Kelly ruin your life, she a B... with a capital B.

OMG! I am still SHOCKED & DISGUSTED (to say the least) at Kelly's actions & comments! THIS GIRL NEEDS SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP QUICK! She was so disrespectful for bouncing (LITERALLY) late into the charity meeting the way she did. Then, the "cute" comment in response to Jill telling her about her daughter's condition...WHAT??? She is so IGNORANT!!! I think the Madonna comment was funny & very very WELL_DESERVED! In fact, I thought Bethany was being KIND! Who is Kelly anyway???
Did anyone else notice that each time Kelly told "her side" of the story to another person...her story slowly changed & evolved into Bethany attacking her! Get your story...your FACTS straight! I hope when Kelly sees the way she has portrayed herself & her actions on this show...that she is ashamed & will crawl into a deep dark hole & never show her leather face on the show again!!! She is RUINING my favorite tv show!!! Get this girl off this show QUICK PLEASE!
In regard to the way Mario acted to Jill...is he serious? Sober up Mario! I just cant believe Kelly, Mario, & Ramona actually think they are the "calm & rational" ones of the bunch! I love Jill & was so angry at the way he spoke to her. I just wish Kelly, Ramona, & Mario would just lock themselves into a room & bounce tennis balls off each others head...maybe one of them will get lucky & have a little bit of sense knocked into them!
Oh & BTW guys...sorry I had to create a "pseudo" blog name but I REALLY DON'T LEND MY NAME OUT TO ANYONE...lol! I hope you all understand! KELLY - GET A REAL LIFE!

Really? Kelly is an idiot and an embarrassment to herself and the show. She basically got her bootie handed to her by Bethany! Thank god for Bethany! I think most people were sitting at home cheering her on. She then recounted her version to anyone who would listen in a lame effort to rally on her behalf, without success! She is self obbsessed, and so eager for attention its pathetic! Hello former model....Get a freaking clue!!!

Kelly's got to go - it's that simple. Bethanny should have walked out as soon as Kelly said, I'm up here and you're down here. Bethanny seems to want Kelly's approval, but girl, you don't need it. You're waaay above Kelly. When Mr. Singer got in Jill's face - WHERE WAS HER HUSBAND. He should have put his drink down and told Singer to get out of his wife's face. Singer was a total jerk. Let jill choose who she wants. Ramona's just crazy...but I think has a good heart. She's funny...I used to be like that...say what I feel...I'd tell someone..."you're shallow." Countess...take her for what she is. She's not bad. Kinda saw it coming though...husband not around, 6th marriage and didn't show for daughter's horse show. Countess was livid over that...knew it had to be more. Jill...can she be anymore NYC.She's a riot. The Alex and simon...they're just their to be on the show...they have nothing in common with the rest of the laides. They act like old money, when they are not. They're very cereberal and are not into what the others are into. Kelly and Alex, Simon...add nothing to the show. Cut them loose. The rest? Take them for what they are...regular folks who have new money...and act like it. Overall...decent people. But, I'm sure embarassment to others with money, who would not want their squabbles shown world wide.

first of all Bethany is way more herself on the show than Kelly. Kelly is so phony- she may a fool of herself on that so called date. Kelly is sooo immature and threatend by Bethany. Who would want Kelly on their charity - she seem ridiculously lazy and undependable, unless there are celebrities to impress. She looks like a washed up model named Tawny and the gray dress looked waaay better on LuAnn than kelly.

If anyone has ever know anyone with a cocaine problem - they always have a problem with time. Could that explain Kelly worn out aged look? I believe so - also explains her erratic behavior. As far a the tennis -Ramona acts like its no big deal but since whe cant beat Jill on her own - she wants Mario to win it and then they have the balls to get upset at Jill when she wants a player as good as Mario. By the way Jill looks great this season.

I cannot believe the ‘reason’ given for excluding WoT villains! I do not believe you have even read the series!
” …we couldn’t find a villian from it that we found as compelling as any of the others we’ve included” ???
There are 13 compelling and complex Forsaken and that is just for a start! Padan Fain!! There is no villain like him! And most of the Darkfriends in the series are more ‘compelling’ than some of the other characters that DID make the cut! It is such an insult to WoT fans and Robert Jordan himself!
