   Jill will never never never be over her firing until she feels ‘vindicated’. The only way that’ll happen is if she’s asked back to the show which is what it seemed like she was hinting at during the ratings convo.

   Comparing her to Norma Desmond is spot on. I think she feels she had it all and lost it when the Bethenny situation went awry and she probably sits and analyzes the moment it slipped through her fingers over and over. She is obsessed! I aalllmost felt pity for her but its clear that she still wants to throw digs at Bethenny and Ramona after all this time while feigning a truce and forgiveness, so no. No sympathy for Jill Zarin. Doesn’t she have Bawby’s millions to dry her tears?

   It is pretty pathetic when all you have going in your life is begging to be taken seriously as a “celebrity” when your 15 minutes are up. Like Kate Gosselin, this non talent refuses to give up.

   I found myself laughing out loud as she enumerated the number of followers she has on Twitter, Facebook, and the amount of e-mail she receives from all over the world on a daily basis. I have no idea what this was supposed to prove since Bravo has no intention of inviting her back. In the words of Joe Guidice: “who cares?”.

   The truth is that if not for the “Housewives” franchises, none of these dimwits would be known outside of their own families. But once they are touched by the hot light of whatever passes for “fame” for these wannabes, it is just too enticing to let it go.

   Jill Zarin saw herself as a “star” and once that coveted place on this show was yanked out from under her she refuses to accept the inevitable: nobody cares!

   Hey Jill – Get A Hobby!!!! I wish he would have brought up Amazongate complete with Susan Sanders, lmao! I only watched the first five minutes, but I can’t wait to go home and finish it. She is such a narcasitic control freak. She made up story lines for the show to follow? The B fight was fake, but she “forgot” to tell Bethanny? How about the big stink she made that Bawby was in the hospital and B only sent flowers? But she “forgot” to tell B about his procedure? I could go on and on. HATE HER!!

   When they are hired onto these franchises they are part of an ensemble. But after a season or two they begin to believe they ae worthy of their own break out shows where the “fabulousness” is on display. Bethenny Frankel is actually the only one who has managed to make good in this arena.

   Yet Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Lisa vanderPump, Teresa Guidice, Caroline Manzo, et al, become convinced that their “aura” has out achieved their castmates and they should be rewarded with talk shows and contracts based on nothing more than their individual personalities. Even that idiot, Taylor Armstrong, feels entitiled to her own show where she “advises’ victims of domestic abuse. Give me a break!

   Without the ensemble they are basically non talented women who come to believe in their own publicity.

   Even Bethenny Frankel won’t last for long even given a talk show of her own. There is just “no there there” when all is said and done and the public moves on to the “next best thing”.

   I woke up in the middle of the night and read your post on FB. I could not go back to sleep in anticipation that waited for me on my DVR. At 4 am I got up and watched this show.
   It did not disappoint. Your recap, at 5 pages it equals a recap honey, was spot on. This is the Andy I wish would show up to reunions. He should go one on one for the reunions or just let the animals mud wrestle, there is not much difference from what we have to watch now.

   Jill Zarin, on the other hand, should not be allowed to grace the Bravo Club House, Studios, or I would go as far, New York City. If I never have to see or hear her again I will send someone money.. anyone money. This last ditch effort to appear relevant is so sad to see, but I do not feel sad for her. This just seals my disgust. Jill Zarin is a narcissist of the highest degree. Everything that was or has happened on the Housewives of New York City revolved around or because of her? Ugh. And her envy of Bethany is so evident and insane. The only reason I hope she gets a third chance somewhere else — to see her fail there also. Not that I will watch her up close.. but I will read about her here.

    Oh Lordy— I did not watch b/c she makes me cringe. But now with a pint of wine by by side I will watch this. I hope Jill is reading this right now.

    The recap was awesome in its awesomeness. I feel very prepared.

    Oh Jill…..JillJillJillJillJillJill…..Jill. Time to just go away–she is Norma Desmond. I bet Bawby is all her FB friends and Twitter followers. Isnt her sister a shrink???? Call your sis Jill.!!!!!!!!!
    And trhis could her own feeble and desperate attempt to get something going for herself–she and bawby were prolly rejected from Couples Therepy.

    What was with Andy acting exactly the way I wish he would for the reunions? I guess you have to fire a bitch first.

    What a fucking certifiable nut. I felt like a Scanner with my head exploding. I thought Kelly was the craziest one, but apparently Jill is crazier. I think Jill fucked with Kelly’s empty little head so that Kelly’s psychosis would outshine her own. Next up, Aviva. She’s almost there.

    Here’s the thing with Ramona – yes, she’s a Pinot-enraged maniac, but at least she knows it. My therapist (I have one because I’m crazy as well) says that the craziest people are the ones who don’t even know it. That’s Jill.

    She made a complete fool of herself(as per usual) and pretty much proved Bravos decision to dump her, to be a correct one. Wow..just wow. All i could think was, how much she will regret this, once the haze she lives in, clears up. Like calling an ex, say you’re over him but maybe we could just meet one last time and talk?..Not that I’ve ever done that..

    Great recap btw!

    I learned a lot from watching the show.On National TV Jill said she set up the fight she had with Bethany because she felt it would sky rocket the ratings and it back fired in her face because she never clued Bethany in on it and Andy agreed and said to her, I told you at the time maybe you should not do it. BAM ,these reality so called shows are all staged and it was proven on this episode of Andy Cohen dumb talk show. So I was happy that I watched it.

    Oh, Flipit, you have a way with words that the Bard would admire: “He whips out a giant can of salt and starts spooning it into her gaping Bethenny wound.” I can now go about my work day with smile… and maybe a bit of a smirk…

    I could not believe my eyes when in the first closeup of her, Shrill looked directly into the camera, and made a point of showing off the stem glass in her hand. That f-ing thing had ‘Jill Zarin some shit or other’ embossed on it, in a HUGE square logo that just happened to be positioned perfectly to face the camera head on. So now she makes housewares, too?
    Looks like she took Betheny’s words to heart and found herself a hobby. It is quite undeniable that her one and only hobby is HERSELF. There is no shame in this bitch at all. So it’s not enough that she floods the web with pictures, posed in front of some store’s display, where ‘serendipitously’ her ‘jeeewllleeeeeerrryyyyyyyy line’ of shit is prominently placed; now she puts her name on anything anyone can ever photograph her with? Then I guess her whole house must be a love ode to herself, with ‘JILL ZARIN’s SHIT’ stamped on her wine glasses, on her silverware and plates, on her clothing, and hopefully – finally appropriately – on her toilet paper. That would be the only product I might ever consider buying from her.
    Also, I almost died when she tried to convince Andy that her face morphing into a 30-year old was all thanks to the Omega 3s she was taking for tennis elbow! BWahahahhahahahahaha….. She is just like TreApe – she consciously believes that as long as SHE says something that makes it true and real, and nobody would ever question it.
    It was awesome to watch her try to convince Andy to give her the job back, and then cover up for the disappointment when he clearly did not want to bite. The only downside is that she’s already been ‘dining out on this interview’ for at least a week or more, and now she’s going to stretch that for another month. I took a look at her FB this morning and it is amazing how many places she’s been to/going to, to ‘discuss her WWHL visit’.
    NARCISSIST NUTJOB!
    P.S. I’m really happy for Betheny that she got this psycho out of her life. It was absolutely fantastic to hear Shrill Zarin take complete credit for B’s show being a success. LMAO

    So glad you recapped this shit show because A. There’s NOTHING like a Flipit recap. You sir…are King err Queen (?) I don’t know, I’m confused! B. I didn’t know how to process it. I felt sad for her but in a funny way. I didn’t understand what was going on & why. I don’t get why she thought this was a good idea. I don’t know why she was smirking as if she was making valid points while sounding like a complete MORON!

    Once it was over I realized I was clutching on to a teddy bear for dear life and rocking back & forth in confusion.

    @Fancyface – word to your entire post. What was her purpose for doing the show? Did she expect Andy to say “we totally made a mistake in firing you. Please, please come back “? She made an ass out of herself – again.

    You are on a tear (as in rip), Flip!!! I was initially angry when you had Jill on Watch What Crappens, because I hate her with a gleeful passion, but I’m glad to see that you hate her just as much as I do. Thank God, because if you liked her, I couldn’t ever take you for my gay hubby.

    I love, love, love when she accuses and accuses and accuses, and then ends with, “but I’ve let it all go.” If you’ve let it all go, bitch, YOU WOULDN’T BE TALKING TO ANDY!!!!

    Did she really say that she “pitched the fight idea” to Bravo?? I thought this was a REALITY show. And let me tell you – I remember Bethenny looking pretty upset at Jill’s accusations. Nice touch, Jill. What a good person you are.

    Jill, my darling – the only way you’ll be in the limelight ever again is the following way:

    1 – Buy light.
    2 – Buy lime.
    3 – Attach lime to lamp.
    4 – Stand under lamp.

    Flipit you shredded her!! Absolutely awesome!!

    For those who want Andy to be like this on the reunion shows, one question..why would he? Isn’t he capitalizing off of their bad behavior? Doesn’t the polarizing effect the HWives have on viewers lead to more tweets, blogs, comments, recaps, ratings, and therefore, advertising dollars? If he were to “take a HWife to task” for her behavior and let her know that he didn’t want her to repeat it, then what will we end up with the following season? It would be like this season of RHoNYC before Aviva showed her crazy. The originals ladies were all toxic bitches last season, but after the big cast shakeup due to the negative reactions to all the “toxicity” they dialed it back big time. They were almost too polite and it got boring. Then Aviva went crazy and BAM!…people are talking again. Andy is smart..he knows what he is doing. Only tell them they suck when their suckage no longer benefits you.

    @Flipit I think they’re going to make college kids in 2112 write book reports about you.

    LuAnn’s affair? It “keeps her relevant for next season.” What a sad, sick way to think.

    I bet it’s the 1 thing she said Andy agreed with though. In his secret heart. And maybe a couple of production meetings.

    Jill is the epitome of bitterness…

    My jaw dropped when she admitted to deliberately starting beef with B so they could have their “TV moment”. I mean how could you not see anything wrong with that statement? I am not a fan of Adiva, but I will take her over this broad any day of the week. Also I love Heather, she is much classier than Jill will ever be.

    As for Jill comparing her and Bethenny’s relationship to Bethenny and Jason’s MARRIAGE is completely delusional…

    Flipit, I was hoping so hard that you would cover this!!!! Hilarious hilarious hilarious!

    @Katie post #2 – Joe G would say “Who friggin’ cares” and you are right on

    I think Andy just did this to toy with Jill and humiliate her. She has no self-awareness and thinks this was a great platform to force her pointy mug back on TV and can’t realize we are all laughing AT her. I do love her candor though, she has always claimed to “tell it like it is” and ratting herself out for devising plot arcs and pitching them is so self-destructive and soooo delicious. For my own amusement, I hope she never changes!

    The funniest part to me was that as they went over the cast and the state of her relationships with Ramona or Alex at the end of her season, I realized I could not remember any of the battles or little intrigues, besides the big Bethanny blowup of course which was already done. I literally had no idea who she fought with or was friends with or what she did at all on that season. If she thinks fans are still lingering around pining for her she needs a reality check because she is forgotten.

    Who are you and what have you done with Andy Cohen!?

    Seriously, Andy was great, but I don’t think he can bring it this way when he’s up against 4 or 5 insane bitches – though Jill probably counts for 2, at least. I also think Andy KNEW he had gold on his hands with this appearance by this lunatic, and just let her fly – there was very little he had to do – except zing her in ways too subtle for her big mouth to comprehend.

    Though, can I say, I DO watch the Housewives because of their insanity, I have to admit, while watching her car wreck (Mercedes) of an appearance, a part of me does miss this most trouble-making of bitches.

    Early on, Jill tells Andy how people stop her on the street to ask how’s your daughter, how’s your mom, how’s your sister, how’s Bawbie’s health. Andy moves on without comment.

    Later, Andy asks, “how’s your daughter, how’s your mom, how’s your sister, how’s Bawbie’s health” and she appears flattered that he cares so much, blissfully unaware that he’s totally mocking her!

    I think Andy cannot treat the ladies like he treated Jill because they work for him. I assume that might be a hostile environment to some.

    Jill got a ticket to crazy town and went first class. Jill needs to be more in tune with the viewers. No one likes Aviva or George so they are NOT your ticket to get back on the show. Heather has alot of fans and dissing her was NOT the way to get back on the show.

    I think Jill went on the WWHL because she thought ratings would soar and Andy would HAVE to want her back because of course that’s what the people want, but what she doesn’t realize is that we are laughing at her and looking at the crazy train. (all aboard ha ha ha ha ha)
