You can tell that none of the other skaters or "celebs" like her either. <br /><br />She's a bloody housewife ffs, and is famous for manufactured drama and spats with other housewives. It's obvious she was trying to bring some of that onto this show. Maybe she comes off well on her housewife show and other ventures but it certainly hasn't been reflected on this show. <br /><br />If I have to look at her sour, pulled so tight she can barely see face one more time I'll scream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-32624363315150094332010-12-14T18:14:14.795-08:002010-12-14T18:14:14.795-08:00Bethenney's probably just embarrassed/mad that...Bethenney's probably just embarrassed/mad that she's not very talented athletically speaking and is having difficulty picking up skating quickly.

Also while I don't watch any RHW I was excited that Ms. Frankel seemed to be the most popular and hopefully would add some star appeal. Instead, each week I've been finding myself personally annoyed and almost defensive of her blatant disrespect of an Olympic gold medalist and a multiple time national champ and world medalist. These are respected athletes who know their craft and started out with fair, constructive criticism of her for ways to get better. From day 1 she whined about it and treated them and the show with disdain. No I don't think she's been trying. She made disparaging comments about the show to Ellen, on Twitter, and repeatedly referred to it all as "silly," and "idiotic." No I don't think it's cute or classy and if it offended me as a fan I can only imagine how the professionals on the show who have devoted their lives to the sport have taken it. It's one thing to be silly and have fun, but it's another thing to be downright disrespectful in the face of people who have dedicated themselves to this. If you won't take it seriously then you should go home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-13121729991148141782010-12-14T15:52:19.489-08:002010-12-14T15:52:19.489-08:00I agree with most of what you say AJ except Johnny...I agree with most of what you say AJ except Johnny not hitting his stride.

I was sick to death of his media princess, phony "class" act and wanted the "real" Johnny back again. He's just not afraid to say what he truly feels even if it means taking on someone with 300 000+ twitter followers on primetime ABC. I actually like Beth but it's hard not to respect that. She sort of did have it coming. You may think it's stupid but his attitude and fearlessness makes me weak in the knees.

I agree that Johnny kept it about skating still and didn't get personal while Bethenny has with her "woman" comments. A lot of press has picked up on how much Bethenny sucks and the people whining the most about Johnny are those who were big Bethenny fans and not seeing past that. Most neutral people are siding with Johnny and agree he's the best part of this whole show.
