Bethenny Frankel -- Legitimizing Reality Shows?!?

I'm sure most of that money came from her Skinny Girl Margarita business. I still love her though, she works hard she deserves it.

Well, I say Bravo (no pun) to her!

Is she sometimes like a cat that's had 5 pounds of sugar? Yes. Do you sometimes wonder how her staff can handle it? Yes. But overall she was the most GROUNDED of any of the housewives (in any city) and always stuck her nose up at the poo-poo wealthy attitudes (cough cough Jill). Let's just hope she stays grounded now that she's rolling in dough.

Can't say I like seeing 25% of all shows on TV being reality shows, but she learned to milk it the right way - and it paid her off. I'm not mad about it... well done, Bethany.

The Housewives are a bunch of low-life women who live on the coat-tails of their men ALL OF THE HOUSEWIFES MAKES MY SKIN CURL they would be nothing if they didn't trick their asses out to rich men. Real house wives actually do work around the house try a day of that you dirty bitches I would rather feed fifty thousand kids than waste money on your sorry ass show. The only reason your **** is popular is pathetic women want to know how to whore themselves out

FOR ME,SHE IS THE MOST ANNOYING PERSON ON BRAVO,HOWEVER MOST OF THE "SO CALLED HOSEWIFES" OR SHOULD I SAY "HO'S" ON BRAVO ARE ANNOYING.JUST DONT WATCH ANYMORE.....

She is the most "real" person on a reality tv show. Her show doesn't feel as scripted as other reality shows.

LOVE Bethany, LOVE Jason, LOVE little Bryn.

Bethany is the ONLY housewife who's brand is real and worth Millions...you just know Jill ZARRRRRRIN is GREEN with envy, makes me smile:).

Bethany is a hard worker, who came through a lot of personal B.S. to get to where she is today.

Harvey should consider her a queen OUTLIER...check out her past, it explains her success!.

Bethenny Rules! She is the best thing from the NYHW on that bravo show.
She is an smart and clever girl.

I admire this gal & love her show filled with her career, her family, frends & unique personality with tons of wit & humor along with her her neverending perseverance ... For a change, 'this' reality show puts the 'real' in REAL-ity!!! She's a strong woman who had a dream & on her own, is a self made success monetarily & family wise as well...... Kudos' Bethenny & happy to see you're taking a little vaca' prior to filming season 3 in July........

I was never a fan of Bethenny until they gave her her own show. I reluctantly watched the first couple of episodes and ended up really admiring her as a person in the end (especially after this season).

The bottom line, that I was missing, is that she is a "real" person, while the other chicks on the Housewives show with her just aren't.

Good for her and congrats!

She deserves the best.

She is winning with a capital W. she worked hard and deserves her success. Kelly's head must be exploding...lol

Bethenny - You go girl :o) and the best revenge to all those hater's...............ca-shing $$$,$$$,$$$.$$ - looking forward to next season.

I still don't care to watch these shows even though they are quite popular. I simply have no interest in other people's lives.

Of all the Real Housewives franchises, Bethenny and Nene are the only real interesting people on them -- Flaws and all.

No they are not role models but they are downright entertaining.

Luann, Kelly and Jill are just downright despicable, odious characters that I care nothing about. They just have too much venom and make my eyes want to bleed.

Poor Alex just doesn't seem to make the cut of the Luann, Jill and Kelly caste system. I'm tired of seeing her mauled and run over by those pompous witches. She's flawed too, but I think she genuinely cares about her kids and husband and wants the best for them and wants to feel good about herself -- but not at the expense of others.

Bethenny is funny and quick witted and says the things that all often think. She puts her own foot in her mouth and it is hilarious! But please take a moment gratitude and realize how blessed you are with your husband, daughter, and in-laws. Yes IN-LAWS, they are awesome. Please don't complain because they love you and want to be part of your life. Just set boundaries - no need to build a wall with a mote.

YOU GO GIRL!!!! I can't say I loved the first couple times I saw you on Housewives, but it didn't take long for me to discover your such a genuine person. I like her because she tells you like it is and cuts no corners. I'm the same way.

Best thing is she gets the last laugh!!
She has a fabulous husband, (Jason deserves a couple taps on the back), a gorgeous daughter and in laws that are also pretty teriffic.

XOXO
