I wonder how Bethenny feels having dragged him into this mess?

$55 mil??? Could that be true? I guess Simon and Alex were rubbing up against the wrong people.

LOL that is a great compensation package - it may be some true to teh digits but not to the amount- that includes money on paper but not too easily convertible to cash - he probably had great commission based on the performance of his portfolio purchases , it is a common arrangement in the investment world Jojo - compensation packages are exuberant albeit not always translating to lifestyle right away - it takes some years and some consistency and longevity in the revenues to make the package liquid unless there is a super stellar performance and apparently that was not happening

pull up your big girl panties and move on...

Phootz! I haven't heard that phrase in forever and just last night got an email from someone telling me that she needed to do just that. Do I know you?

Yeah, we all had childhood things that we just need to move past. We can be victims, but then we cross an imaginary line and we become volunteers. Or they like to wear their abuse like a freaking medal of courage and honor. Just get over your cheap selves. Wait! Then we won't have such a plethora of snarkage!

It's kinda sad the run is nearly over. We were just getting used " " (Ramona) to them. Now is where we lay our money down and hedge whether anyone or who will be back for a second helping of crow. Hasty Pudding? Do they come back to set us straight (read: give us more evidence that they are complete id-juts)?

I'm so hoping for a renuion show. If there is one, we know we'll be stuck with Wonky Andy, so we can't hope for much candor... SPIN!!

I haven't said much about anyone but our favorite posers, but I'd like to give a big shout out to that Loose Ann... You have an absent husband, you're number 4, so I'm sure you know your place and keep your trap shut, but get over yourself. Anyone that will not housetrain a dog says more about who you are than I ever care to know. You see, I'm trying to practice having some class. Oh, your son wants your time and so does your daughter, but they won't give you ink or air time, so we know where you stand (sit -on her royal throne...at least that's what Archie Bunker called it). Do you get to keep the title when he finds cute, young, number 5? Okay, I have no class because I can't stop. They way she refused the driver's hand was soooooooo very LOW CLASS and pitiful! Yuck, icky, go away!!!

Dear Jojo - compensation packages are exuberant albeit not always translating to lifestyle right away - it takes some years and some consistency and longevity in the revenues to make the package liquid unless there is a super stellar performance and apparently that was not happening with Jason , so there it goes without saying....

I am dying to see what Simon will wear to the reunion show! Oh wait, the reunion show is just for the FIVE wives.
Okay, I am dying to see what Simon will wear to the reunion show and which one of the five wives he replaces.

"Let's see we'll need a french aupair,a tuxedo with a gold cumberbund,animal print dresses for you my love(he he) tickets for the Met,off season holiday in St.Barts,rent boat for birthday, comp rooms at the Chandler for rented friends, America will love us! Hard to say where this will lead."

Don't forget the outfit she wore to the Real Housewives premiere party at Touch....

Ok...Simon??? As Bethenny says....what the F???

Simon van Kempen Pictures - Screening Party For Bravo's "The Real Housewives Of New York City" - Zimbio

The reunion show is going to rock. Seriously, it will probably come to blows. I hope the Countess throws a punch and all "class" will go out the window. Fingers crossed!

[Poohtz]

Oh I am sure Simon will show up to the reunion show, how could Alex possibly go without him? I just wonder if Ramona will throw a fit when he walks in. I hope her hand is ok!!!

PugMum, great point!! See, I'm so eager for tonight's show that I'm home already and preparing some fabulous food (looking for magnet with Pizza Hut #), skinny drinks (does that include Manjuice?? - RHOOC reference) and pondering the intelligence quotient of young frankenstein. Is it frankie or jonnie that gets " " tested tonight? I'd like to say something stupid like "If the results aren't stellar, no way would they be airing it..." But since it's all in hands of the editors and Dim and Wit were wretched enough to do such a thing to a child, wellllll....Ya got trouble folks! Right here in Cobble Hilly and that's trouble with a capitOl T and that rhymes with P and that stands for

Back to Simon's dress. And I mean that literally. I think if Simon wears a dress, Andy will be too jealous. I think he has wardrobe approval , so no one can look fancier than Andy. BUT will Simon shave his beard???

LilyBetencourt I think you were asking about the hand refusal? BethNe introduced Loose Ann to her driver, he extended his hand to her and she rudley refused it. As if.

Poor Jason probably had great commissions based on the performance of his portfolio, it is a common arrangement in the investment world

And sometimes it has absolutely nothing at all to do with the performance of a portfolio (Bear Stearns anyone?). Just grotesque, over-the-top salaries. These people deserve no sympathy.
