I’m 20 minutes in and wanting to change the channel. Mostly because it is waaaaaayyyy too early for Bethenny’s voice. I got little sleep and am low on caffeine. Bethenny talks fast anyway, and add in nerves on top of that and it’s… a bit much.
Her little monologue was mostly about her excitement about her new show. I can’t decide if I love or hate her dress. I think I love it. Though it is a bit too tight on her despite her being a tiny little thing. She looks very pretty, but almost like a doll rather than a human person.
Her first segment, and I am not sure if this is a permanent plan or not is ask the men. Love the theory, hate the practical application. It was Boris Kudjoe and two comedians. You can’t have comedians on a panel like this. It becomes a joke-off and not a real segment. The white guy must have pointed out 6 times his wife is black. That alone was annoying.
Next Bethenny went into the audience to play “Would you ever?” again great concept. Bethenny used to go into the audience to play games with Ellen and this is her strong suit. She has a great rapport with her audience. One of her fans started crying because she got to meet her. Things were going so well, and then her friendship with Bravo Andy showed and a Kraft Zesty Guy appears for a promotional op. Bethenny tosses his salad (in the daytime, live commercial children can watch sense of the term.)
Nick Canon came on and they twerked. SMH. The Flo Rida came out and sang and she twerked some more.
Here is the problem. Shortly after the show began, Fox began frantically letting everyone know that Dr. Oz is on at 2 pm now. You could just hear the hypochondriacs freaking out that he was not on to tell them what rare disease might kill them today if they don’t find the proper organic green coffee beans from Jakarta, ASAP. I no longer allow myself to watch Dr. Oz and have a case of Gogi juice I’d like to unload if anyone is interested. Here is the bigger problem. She is also on against The View. Today was Jenny McCartney’s first day.
Overall, I think she has a shot. Especially since she is well-financed and Ellen and Andy Cohen will help send her some big names. Did you watch?
In all honesty, I feel Bethany tries too hard. It is difficult to watch. And…twerking?!! What was that all about? Nauseating is what it is. She tries to be too provocative…too much in your face. Not interested in seeing her show. And…one of the only reasons she may stay afloat is the Ellen and Bravo Andy connection. Sorry Bethany.
Well said. I chose not to watch because her voice drives me crazy. I admire her accomplishments, but that’s it. None of my friends will watch either. We all watched her show on BRAVO. Yet her voice & the fast paced delivery (which makes us think her brain is set at warp speed – and just can’t get out every thought going through her head) is annoying.
I was trying to give her a chance…so I watched a portion today and unfortunately, my criticism stays the same….she is trying too hard. Yes…I agree with you all who said her voice is like chalk on a blackboard…and what is it about the sexual aspect of EVERYTHING. Her focus is sex and sexual things….it is the same thing all the time. Naked men…strippers…and her trying to dance and twerk!
More like nails on a chalk board.
Oh man, the show is just awful. She’s awkward, vocally horrible and abrasive. How did she get a talk show? Seriously people! She has nothing if value, and yet she has a talk show? Why? And QVC supporting thus crap? Seriously!
Did not watch…didn’t even know she was on. From the pix, I DO love the dress and the shoes but the shoes on her stick legs don’t work for mr. The heels are thicker than her calves.
You may still have time in your area. It’s on at 11 here, not sure about other cities.
You’re right…3:00 p.m. Here in NYC but opposite Dr.Phil, People’s Court and a new show called The Test…what’s a girl to do ?
Did anyone see a show called MIAMI MONKEY ? I must live in a bubble.
What the fuck was that (Big Ange ) ?
BTW..I would gladly twerk Nick Canon…I think he is so cute !
He is cute…in a baby boy kinda way. I don’t know about twerking Nick Cannon. Remember his “big” wife! I wouldnt want to have to fight her off! LOL.
I didn’t record it. I am at work. But I am over Bethany. I loved her at first, up until the second season of Bethany’s spin off, then after I saw how she treated Jason and his parents, I started really disliking her. She is brittle, and angry, and annoying. I hope she makes it, cuz that’s all she will have when it’s all said and done, from what I can tell. Ick.
That’s exactly the same with me. Although I started disliking her her last season on RHONY, but the way she treated him and his parents was the final straw. I also don’t like the way she treats her own parents. Firstly, I barely believe that she had it that bad. Pictures and other people’s stories don’t collaborate that. Many day she was very spoiled and played her parents like a fiddle. But even if it is true, how many people, including famous people, had shitty childhoods, but they still don’t treat their parents so horribly… inilating them on national television… even if their childhood was truly horrific. The things she says about them is stuff that the whole world didn’t need to know. I guess she got her revenge…
I accidentally landed on this channel shortly before the twerking started (yikes!). I found Bethany awkward and hard to watch (not just the twerking, but everything I saw). Her dancing in the audience was the worst! She was so stiff it actually made me uncomfortable. She’s no Ellen, that’s for sure. And what was with those questions that were almost all for girls? I mean didn’t they know that their guest was Nick Cannon? How unprepared can you be? I know this was only her first show, so hopefully for her, that is why it wasn’t so great. I am also biased because I don’t care for Bethany to begin with (i used to love her, but haven’t for a while now). I figured I would check it out and maybe it would rekindle my liking her again, but it didn’t. I probably won’t be watching again. MAYBE if she has a guest that I adore, and even then, only if Bethany relaxes and starts getting “real” like she keeps saying. Now I need to get back to Dr. Oz and the miracle green coffee bean.
Lori….my sentiments exactly.
The questions were for her audience to play. They played before you found the channel. The fact that she sort of ran out of things to talk to Nick about was a newbie issue.
Oh I see TT. She seriously needs to learn to slow the Hell down. I have a feeling that this show is going to end up like her first stab at having a talk show… Quickly cancelled.
Ditto to all of the above. I liked Bethenny in seasons 1-3 in RHONY especially in interactions with Jill the Shrew and Kelly the Nut. But I didn’t keep up with her in her BGM or anything else for that matter. I have seen her on as a guest on Ellen and other shows, but she never seems to be comfortable in her own skin. Always comes arcoss as very uptight and on the verge of hysteria. I wish her well in her lastest endeavor, I guess she’s got to do something with her time.
I love her dress. I have it set to record; here in the Bay Area she’s on at 3pm and only up against Dr. Oz and Katie. And whatever will be on CBS when tennis is over. The View is on in the mornings here.
I like her dress. I am not sure if it is a bit “juvenile” for her though….but it is pretty.
Wow she has body like Barbie. Absolutely no stomach. I could not watch more than 5 minutes because her voice hurts my head.
Alrighty then..I’m 5 minutes in and now I’m out. The hands alone will drive me over the edge. The purpose of the show is to “help ME realize MY dreams ” ? Someone tape down her arms , PUHLEEZE ! Did she have something done to the bottom half of her face or am I still suffering from the Staub trauma. I am out and won’t be coming back.
I was way too distracted by all the fillers in Bethanny’s face. I’m all for fillers – but B looked freaky. After I got over her looks, the high pitched, shrieking started driving me crazy. Not even to mention the tweaking. I turned the channel.
NANNY….what’s a filler ? Is that Botox ? Would she do the bottom half of her face so she wouldn’t look so sunken and gaunt ? I know it looks bizarre and is very distracting.
Didn’t watch. I just can’t focus on a show like that (any talk show which is why I forgot Jenny was starting on The View). It takes me an entire morning or afternoon to watch anything if I am not stuck watching it with someone else.
I don’t like Bethenny. She treated Jason like a dog because he wouldn’t be her assistant but he is the one that got her all that money for selling skinny girl drinks or whatever. She used him like a dirty rag. She also uses her psychologist. She is crazy like a fox. She used him to have a baby because her clock had practically ran out.
Never would I watch her show.
Ugh. Happen to be home so i watched a little. She makes everything about her. She mocks her audience. She’s not nearly as funny as the thinks. And she had some dr on taking questions from her enormous audience members. One woman who was 40 and unmarried and had the shape of Venus (the planet, not the statue) asked if she should try to fd. Man who wa not circumcised because she reconnect that “all that extra” would make his dick bigger. I’m not making this up.
I hate when I want FP slap my whole tv.
So mocking your audience/readers is a bad thing now? That’s my whole schtick!
Well again, I must repeat that her audience are people who are home during the day and generally not smart enough to use the Internet. Like super nice people. Otherwise, you’re watching Maury to see who is NOT THEFATHER
I beg to differ, teecee66 in terms of her “audience” not being smart enough to use the internet. I am not home during the day….so I tape some shows…which a lot of people do. Other people work different hours…and are therefore HOME. Let’s not paint everyone with the same brush.
Lol. Ok. So…you know more than the people who sell ad space on her show? The ones who have identified the target demographic scientifically? Because. Um. You tape it. Kkkkkk.
(See what I mean about her audience being retarded?)
Not saying I or anyone on here knows “more” than whatever scientific demographic who knows who does…just saying we all have our opinion and some of our opinion is that her show sucks! Thanks teecee66.
But you begged to differ. And you tried to tel me what to think or post by saying “lets not…” Like I am some child who you think you can speak down to.
Certainly not. I would never infer that you are a child and sorry if that is how it came across. Please accept my apologies.
Ugh. You’re doing that on purpose.
Teecee, I missed that part and I can’t understand what you said. She wanted to what? What is fd? I just don’t understand that sentence at all.
Ugh. Happen to be home so i watched a little. She makes everything about her. She mocks her audience. She’s not nearly as funny as she thinks. And she had some dr on taking questions from her enormous audience members. One woman who was 40 and unmarried and had the shape of Venus (the planet, not the statue) asked if she should try to find a Man who is not circumcised because she thought that “all that extra” would make his dick bigger. I’m not making this up.
I hate when I want to slap my whole tv.
ewwwww. uch. She better stock up on Monistat.
thought i’d give her a chance. is she irritating! there may not be an ‘i’ in team but there sure is one in bethanny. someone should tell her we want to hear of things that are of interest to us. and, i’ve got news for you bethanny, you and your life are way down on the list, girlfriend. she comes across as a self-centered egomaniac. i won’t be watching again.
I really don’t like this show!!! Boring, the song is horrible and I can’t really stand her voice!! Plus she bumped tmz so now I can’t watch it at all!!! 🙁 sorry bethenny but you gotta go—->
I actually like the song. I tried to watch a little bit today but it’s all sex and relationships and friendships and marriage stuff, and we all know she doesn’t know how to do any of that. So I feel like she is the last person anyone will listen to. /shrugs
So true TT.
The difference between Bethenny and Ellen is the sweetness factor. Bethenny tries to be funny with shocking sexual innuendos and put downs. Ellen is a class act, calm, cool collected and genuine. Bethenny makes me feel uncomfortable and embarrased for her. I am no longer a fan.
Connie…you are so right!! I could not have said it better myself.
I agree with you whole heartedly…….Bethenny is abrasive….I happily join all ex-fan club members. I do not think that her show will be on much longer…..there’s only so much of Bethenny that the world can stand.
I just saw bethenny for the frist time… I only watched her show to see Snooki and what Snooki was up to on dancing with the stars….anyway ….bethenny really sucks, she looks like a Mr.Ed wearing hills, and worst of all she was hateing on Snooki… what a bitch bethenny is…. bethenny sucks and so does her cha-cha, Snookie showed bethenny how to dance the cha-cha,then bethenny tried to dance with Snooki, and bethenny looked like a drunk giraffe on crack….I turned the tv off
