Bethenny is definitely a lot but she makes the show. I think her saving grace is she's fairly self-aware and she comes across, for better or worse, as just being herself.

Yea, no. She has no idea how much of a raging maniacal bitch she is. She'd be properly medicated if she was aware.

As crazy as bethenny is, she is definitely the my favorite on the show. You can't do the show without her. The weakest links are Dorinda and the tall Asian.

Anyone know where the blonde with the gay husband is these days?

They should drop dorinda and the Asian and bring back that blonde (Alex?) and Jill Zarin.

Jill and Alex were terrible.

I liked Jill, and liked her friendship with Bethenny. Always hated Alex - felt like she was a limp noodle. And she talked so much about how great and smart her kids were and then they were bratty mediocre doofs.

I think this is the the thing that " can not be spoken of" at the reunion and why Bethenny is threatening to not come back.

Wait, so how are they paid? I thought they all had contracts and didn't realize filming with someone vs someone else will get you more money.

They are still paid per episode. I think their salary reports are based on if they are in every episode.

OK, I'm just gonna admit that I read a recent interview with Jill Zarin on Reality Tea. In it, she says that while some Housewives shows pay by salary, New York pays by day and by trip. So when Bethenny and company were icing Sonja out of the trip, it really was impacting Sonja's ability to make money.

Actually all of the cast members except for Luann and Sonja earn a per season salary. Luann, Sonja and Ramona held out for the same 1 million per season that Bethenny earns just before this season started. They had promised to stick together...Ramona bailed on them and signed a contract, Luann and Sonja didn't get a per season salary bump, instead they were told they'd be paid by the scenes they appeared in. Sonja was being iced out in part because she thought she was worth as much as Bethenny who was brought back to raise raitings (which she did and received a bonus for). This also explains why Luann ate shit at Dorinda's in the Berkshires and kept following the women around even though they were all pretty much avoiding her. She wanted to insure that she was on camera and included in any scenes that were filmed. I think it also explains why Bethenny went ballistic at her, Luann has treated her like shit from season 1, and last season vowed to "take her down" now this season she thinks she is worth the same salary, bitch please.
