Bethenny Ever After on Bravo--new season
I really liked last season, but I can't seem to get into any episode this season so far. It feels painful to me, especially her relationship with Jason.
Anyone else not liking this? Or still liking this?
Re: Bethenny Ever After on Bravo--new season
I loved Bethenny on Real Housewives of New York and Bethenny Getting Married, but she started grating on my last nerve with Bethenny Ever After. She is SO neurotic about everything that it's not even enjoyable to watch. I guess we don't know how much she really made by selling Skinnygirl but if it was anything in the ballpark of what was reported then she should seriously put the breaks on her business and enjoy life a little bit.
This season is definitely different. It's my understanding that this is the last season. I think she is going to do a talk show of some kind so it won't involve Jason. I think this is a very smart move for the sake of her family life.
I really like her and I think she is hilarious.
I love Bethenney, but I get so uncomfortable watching the show this season. I commend her for vowing to be honest and not pretending that things are hunky-dory when they aren't, but it also seems like it's time for this family to kick the cameras out. Which, to their credit, it sounds like they're doing. This is the last season, yes? Ellen's producing her new talk show, which should give her family a little bit of distance from her fame.
I don't necessarily think they're going to end up divorced. It depends on them, and just how deep these issues run. I can easily imagine it being largely stress-induced from her rapid rise to fame and fortune, the cameras, etc. I hope, anyway. I would be sad if they split.
Who enjoys watching couples fight? It's downright uncomfortable. I hate seeing them fight, especially when Bryn is around.
If they do actually say things like "you're damaged" to each other, then they are really crossing the line. There are some things couples should not say to each other.
I hope they learn to live sans cameras.
I've heard conflicting things. Some estimate it around 100 million dollars, but that seems absurd if you think about it, since she's still a part owner or collaborator for the brand. I read in Forbes that Beam Global disclosed something in an amount of 8.2 million in the second quarter of 2011, which is when she sold it. So who knows. Either way she's a neurotic nutbag, whom I love.
I watch it for Brynn. "I the baby!" They made a really cute baby.
Did anyone else hear that Bethenny said the root of their problem is that her and Jason don't like each other? They had discussed it on the Talk but they didn't know if she was joking or not. I hope it was just Bethenny being a smart ass.

----- Apparently, a lot of people. Look at how many watched Jon and Kate disintegrate.
Their constant nit picking drives me nuts. I think they really need to choose their battles. If they continue as they are, I cant see their marriage lasting.
Coming from a very similar martial background of one side having involved extended family and the other having absent family, its actually quite common for the spouse who has the non-involved family to be a little uncomfortable with many extended family gtgs, calls (3+ calls per day) since this is not what their norm was growing up. I'm not sure about Bethanny, but in our situation, although too many gtgs/calls is hard for DH, as a family unit we are quite strong. IMHO, as with everything in life, there must be a balance.
Also people have to remember that Jason had a brother who passed away, so Jasons parents probably want to hold "tighter" to them because Jason's children will be their only grandchildren.
I have yet to see the new season, but its sad to hear the reviews. I hope that Bethanny and Jason get their mess together...I hope that the cameras turn off, because although its quite good for ratings (fights, etc.) its horrible for relationships to thrive in.
She seems a little bit controlling of her environment, and I could only assume this is due to her out of control childhood. So hopefully Jason also has the patience to deal with her neurotic control-freak behavior and vice versa, with Jason and his (unseen/unknown public) issues, of which I am sure there are some too.
It's my understanding that Bethenny did pull the plug on the show. She was the one that decided this would be the last season, which I think was a smart move on her part.
I think part of the problem with her and Jason is things happened so quickly with them. They had a lot of huge life changes and it seems like that could be tricky.
I hope they work it out.
I agree with this.
While my family is very close we don't call each other every day and my mom is not telling me that she has to see my daughter every single week.
My ILs on the other hand call him every day sometimes multiple times a day and if she sees our daughter only 1 time a week she throws a fit. It makes me uncomfortable because I don't want to see them all the time and don't think that I should have to see them all the time. 1 time a week is plenty for a grandparent to see their grandchild.
I think it's unfair to say that she makes no effort to get together with Jason's family. In the previous season we saw them make more than one trip to his family's home, we saw his parents come to town one more than one occasion. In this season (only three episodes in, yes?) we've seen his parents once already.
I come from a loud, close knit family that spends an inordinate amount of time together. My husband comes from a family that, for the most part, he despises. He's had very little to do with them for 20 years, he's not used to be able to rely on family, and he certainly isn't used to the sheer number of people my family has in it. It would be unfair of me to expect him to come to every single family get together. He comes to every event I ask him to come to, and I prioritize whether something is important or less important: anniversaries, holidays and birthday=important; getting together to chat and eat=less important.
