The next stop on Route Bethenny of Tears was a model casting in Brooklyn where he was helping to select girls for Brooklyn Fashion Weekend. He stopped a little early to speak with Alex (who has somehow achieved a kind of redemption, and now reality television is normal) and said he had a suitcase in tow, so that we could fly to LA after casting. He was headed out west to see her father, who was obviously quite ill. Bethenny spoke obliquely to the past tense relationship with her father, and decided to see him end his life mirrored very closely what Ramona, had revealed to his father last week. It seems to me that both of them would have gotten more from the conversation had talked about bridging the daddy issues, instead of voltage Bethenny alienating friends.
Just when things were a little heavy, Kelly showed up to change how hard the object models and Ramona have appeared again and decided that it would be really fun if you set up Jill and Bethenny to meet with each other after he got back from Bethenny visit her dad. Just when we think Kelly was the most self-obsessed person in the face of the planet, admitted that he was planning stunt for his own amusement Ramona catapulted to the front of the race right where he wants to be (this is obviously important not just what the “winning” this particular breed means – that is a terrible person for prime time).
