Since they are actually on StJ in these episodes....
OMG-- can you say trainwreck?
I think it's saying something that these "wealthy" ladies even seemed impressed by Presidio Del Mar. Gorgeous house BTW!
I'm interested to see how Jill's "surprise" visit goes next week.
I've always enjoyed these ladies but I have to say that this year's interpersonal realtionships seem worse than ever!
Some nice shots of STJ though!!

OMG-- even all the digital enhancement doesn't help. I love how the producer last week was like, "We don't care if you can't sing" it's the package we're looking at 'the countess' thing is the angle and hook here."
I'm paraphrasing but that's what he was essentially saying: you don't have to be able to sing but as long as something comes out of your mouth we'll work with it and clean it up digitally and then sell you as a package.

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahaa! that's what I'm talking about! (did you notice the guy in the studio last week said this LIKE every other sentence!)
I watched the first week and it was so painful to me. Then my niece was over and she wanted to watch and on second viewing it became down right hysterical! I missed the hilarity the first time around because I was in shock
"making lemons in to lemonade means making a bad thing in to a good thing"
"not necessarily"
hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaa - classic!

Kelly is a nut case! She really has it out for Bethenny. I just think she's jealous of her.
The house is amazing!!! Does the house come with all the staff too?

Who told her she
should sing?
Is she officially divorced? If so, did she retain the title? Or is she misrepresenting herself as a countess? Oh the tangled webs they weave....

NO idea on the first question... but I'm guessing it was another opportunity to get some more of her 15 minutes of fame and make some $$$.
As for the title. Yes, she is divorced. Officially. But as she explained in one episode, she retains the title but in a slightly different way.
Here's a great explanation:

From
http://www.mclaughlinanderson.com/villa ... unitid=404
daily maid service included
personal concierge is on duty, at your request
chef services, at additional charge by Mathayom Private Chefs/St John Catering or Passion Fruit Chefs
--- note that Mathayom (St John Catering) provided the chef services for "Real Housewives of New York"
"The Real Housewives of NYC
We're famous! We spent a few days with the Real Housewives of New York City while they were filming on St. John, and despite an exploding tea kettle resulting in a badly burned hand and being chewed out by Bethenny, we're going to go ahead and say it was worth it. Not only did we cook for the lovely ladies during their stay at Presidio del Mar, we kept their crew of almost 30 people sated as well."

No comment on the "Housewives" as I am as crazy as any of them, including Kelly....

Now if she re-marries a "commoner" I believe it is usually considered appropriate to drop the title altogether.
If she marries another "peer" then she would just take his new title.
Although again, she could retain the title as a courtesy -- but that is generally considered classless. Which as we all know is something she is ALL about!

how many forumites does it take to rent PDM?

Isn't it about $20K a week?
I don;t think there are enough bedrooms to make that work!! Believe me I've thought about it before!
I'm guessing our best bet is to ingratiate ourselves with someone who is VERy well off and offer to be there personal tour guide of STJ!!

Just for fun I ran the numbers - a week is $30580 and max you can have is 12 people. So it comes to around $2550 per person a week.
Chump change !
