These "housewives of..." broads look like some high mileage bimbos, the way they dress and act like school girls is pretty bad.The guys aren't much better for even wanting to put it to them.

Why would any man want to marry a woman he'll have to "HANDLE" for the rest of his life???? Bethenny's kind of attitude wears thin on a man very quickly. Jason, you have my deepest sympathy.

Hey Vin,
Don't compare these idiots to high school girls. Really, high school girls have brains and class.

I wonder if she will invite her estranged father to the wedding. That bastard
does not deserve even her thoughts, the way he was to her growning up.
I'd like to slap his miserable face !!!!

I can't stand these shows and how they make women look like materialistic, latch onto a man with money and a heartbeat, no talent, catty, grade school clique mentality..what a waste of a producers money if u ask me. I hate these shows and the Jersey ones make me ashamed to be from NJ..I'm also Italian and they made themselves an embarrassment to the nationality, too...not all Italians from Jersey act like these people..don't judge it from a stupid t.v. show. Were they going out of their way to prove every stereo type to be true? It was disgraceful and embarrassing..nothing to be proud of..way to sh%$ all over Jersey you bunch of classless skanks..and money will NEVER buy you class...

What annoys me about Bethenny... alright, a lot of things annoy me about Bethenny... is her crap about how she stays so thin by following her "skinny girl" principals... and yet she never admits to having PLASTIC SURGERY! Okay, people, let's look at that picture of her in the orange dress. What do you call those huge things on her chest? So if she lies about having a boob job, one is left to wonder what else she lies about? Like, say, her age and what other "work" she's had done.

Bethenny is a hose-bag who is hooked on the crack of her own ego, uncaring about any issue but how SHE looks, and what we're saying about HER. If that sap who is marrying her thinks they will ever have a nourishing relationship, then he's as dumb as they make 'em. I envy nothing about her and hope that a piano rolls out of a seventh-story window and lands on her.
