I feel like I'm watching someone have a complete mental breakdown and I'm wrestling with whether I should be watching this on tv for entertainment. Danielle shouldn't be a cast member on a show like this; she's not mentally or emotionally healthy at all. When she started talking about how the other women were on a mission to "kill Danielle" I just kept thinking of when Kelly thought Bethenny was coming after her.

I also got the whole "should I be watching this" feeling, but I watched it anyways! lol

The idea that Danielle actually was supposedly fainting and couldn't walk out of FEAR, is insane! She's insane! Yeah Teresa could have been a little instigator (although I'm very much like Teresa, I would have done it all---even walking to Danielle's car), but it wasn't like she had even laid a hand on Danielle. Danielle just ran away for nothing.

OMG Ashley pulled on her hair, no I don't believe that Ashley pulled out that chunk of hair, because umm.....when someone pulls out your hair, usually THEY have it, not you. So I don't buy the whole "this is the hair that Ashley pulled out." Besides I don't think extensions count as 'your' hair.

The whole knife/9 mm was a "wah wah waaaaah" moment...kinda disappointed in that, but what followed was more than enough entertainment for me. lol

I laughed through this whole episode.

And I understand Ashley being upset with Jacquelyn. She's a teenager. She wants to know that what she did was right and good but in reality it wasn't. (although I laughed my ass off) I'm sure deep down inside Jacquelyn is laughing too.

Ashley is remarkably like Danielle... drama oriented, prone to violence, hears what she wants to hear, and completely narcissistic. They are soulmates, if they but knew it.

Teresa definitely instigated a little. Her line, "I'm so nice. I'm the most polite person. I'm like that, I'm kind..." is hilarious, but BS. I love her, but a sainted peacemaker, she ain't.

Caroline is really pretty this season...hair, makeup and clothing all works really well!

...except that Ashley is 18 and an adolesent. She will, hopefully, mature.

Absolutely true. Ashley has the excuse of youth and immaturity. Danielle has....

You raise an excellent point!! I never thought of it like that. This is all about making sure someone ELSE pays her medical bills. Danielle is such an attention whore! It seemed like she kept trying to make every little thing larger than what it was: "Get her away from me! ... I can't move!! ... I was attacked!! ... She pulled my hair and now my neck hurts, ... I have trouble turning my neck now ... I can't look up anymore ..." or whatever the hell she was screaming. Now it all makes sense!

I just stood there in my tracks, unable to move, as these grown a$$ women showed the entire nation how childish they are. I mean, Teresa knows good and doggone well she did NOT just HAVE to "say hello" to Danielle. It seemed very orchestrated. She KNEW it would cause drama, ... especially with all the neck rolling and the finger waving. I mean, are you SERIOUS?!?! It was like a scene from Jerry Springer! I have a sneaky suspicion her house might be going into foreclosure after all, because, although she denied it, Teresa had a difficult time shielding what looked to be a very embarassed smile as she yelled "No it's not!!!" at Danielle. And why was her story so choppy and inaccurate as she told her husband the course of events which took place? I can probably credit (or blame) the producers due to any editing done.

I'm still laughing at the "brutha" who made the comment to Teresa, "Alright, now, wait a minute now ... You comin' close to a Bentley now, ... I don't need you messin' up THAT ..." LOLOLOL!! ~sweeeeeeeeet~

Oh, yeah, ... and Ashley needs her a$$ beat. This girl needs some drama in her life by any means necessary because she has absolutely no life.

Danielle: "Don't call me 'honey.' "

Teresa: "How about 'bitch'? Is 'bitch' better?"

[Benzgirl]

Can somebody give Teresa an English lesson?
"Re-renovated", and the repeated, "Ain't I".


(Sen, you available?)

Did anyone else notice that when Danielle called 911 she announced, "This is Danielle Staub!"...uhm, I'm sorry. If I had to call 911, God Forbid, and I said, "This is Ellebud,"
they wouldn't have a clue as to who I am. She must have a direct line to the precinct..or she doesn't remember that she is "just" on a reality show which doesn't have the ratings or the viewership that would appeal to police. Or, maybe she just keeps calling them.

and how about the way she said cleavage. 'cleavlage' or something or other..

Something about last night's episode just doesn't sit right with me. It was nice to read the Bravo boards and other stuff on the internet that helped me not feel as crazy.

1) If Ashley ripped out her weave why didn't she still have it? That girl's so attention hungry she would have been carrying it around begging people to look at it.
2) If Ashley pulled out D's real hair why wasn't D's head bleeding like crazy? That clump Danielle showed was huge! That should have come with mass quantities of blood. Head wounds bleed like crazy. I tripped over my cat one day, knicked the kitchen counter and until it stopped bleeding I had to wonder did I split my head wide open.
3) The clump of hair D showed in her interview wasn't even the same color as her hair!!!
4) As attention hungry as Danielle is why wouldn't she show the bald spot caused by the hair ripping? You really want the pity? Show people the bald patch.
5) To get that much hair Ashley would have had to yanked with two hands and some massive strength. She just walked up and yanked quickly with one hand. I don't see how she did that much damage? I'm sad to say I've been in a fight where I did pull hair and I was pulling with all my might and never did that!
6) Seriously? She has face,nerve and neck damage from a weave pull!!??

Well the fashion show was in Wayne where Danielle lives. Jacqueline also said (in the episode) that this wasnt the first time the police have dealt with "Danielle drama" so i think that when she said who she was the police thought 'ah shit, what does she want this time.'

I did know she messsed up cleavage, but couldn't remember what it was. I also couldn't figure out if she was being Mrs. Ignatowski or if she was drunk.

No, she had hea/neck damage due to sue happy syndrom. Unfortunately for Danielle, Ashley is 18 and doesn't have assets. If she were 17...cah ching.

Yes, there would have been blood. My daughter cut her head a tiny amount bumping into an open upper cabinet door. It was a bloodbath.

Why didn't Ashley have the hair...because as wrong as Ashley was to pull the hair, no question....we all know the answer: Danielle probably pulled it out herself.

Shew! Good to know I'm not the only person who thinks D blew that situation out of proportion!
