NEW YORK — It takes a Real Housewives star to know one.
Teresa Giudice is weighing in on Kelly Bensimon's breakdown that aired last night on The Real Housewives of New York City, a moment she referred to as "the most disturbing episode of reality TV I've ever watched in my life."
"This episode was just insane. And not in a good, old-fashioned table flipping way, but in a I-thought-someone-was-actually-going-to-get-killed way," writes Giudice in her blog for Bravo. "I have no idea what was going on with Kelly, but it was really hard to watch. I couldn't tell if she was seriously crying and seriously scared, or just seriously confused."
Giudice says the entire dinner scene was "scary to watch."
"I think Kelly is right, she is 'real.' I don't think she fakes things or sets things up for the cameras like other Housewives do. But her reality is kind of scary, huh?" Guidice says. "So knowing that, knowing that she was 'really' feeling that... I don't even know what that was... Ganged up on? Caged? Psychotic? It was sad and scary to watch. Then again, Kelly says 'feelings' are so '1979.' So if she wasn't 'feeling' crazy, she just was crazy? I feel like I need medication after watching that whole thing go down.
"Did anyone else think it was weird that when she gave herself a time-out, she ran down the hall crying, and then came right back with jelly beans? And what were the Blow-Pops used for on the beach? Does Kelly maybe have 'funny' candy? Like from Amsterdam?"
While frightened by the episode, Giudice says she still managed to find some humor in it all.
"The New York ladies talk way more than we do in Jersey, but some of the stuff they were saying this episode was just hilarious," she says. "Kelly saying 'satchels of gold' under her breath? Bethenny screaming 'Go to sleep! Go to sleep! You're crazy!' But my favorite of all was when Kelly asked Ramona and Bethenny: 'Are you guys going to make out, like with THE TONGUE?' She said it again later too, about 'the' tongue. Is there some other way of kissing I don’t know about? JK!"
As for who the smartest member of the bunch is, Giudice says the hands-down winner is LuAnn de Lesseps.
"LuAnn wins the prize for smartest housewife this week: she not only didn't go on the trip, but she told Jill not to about 10 different times," Giudice says. "Jill, of course, wasn't taking a poll. She made up her mind to go. And you know it's not going to be pretty!"
