Posted: Updated: 05/19/2012 1:07 pm

"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage," goes the popular playground song.

If you mean scary looking, the answer is yes.

beth. was cute when she was on the housewifes show, unfortunately she seem to have has some work done. Seh should have left well enough alone. Scary inside too she is a control freek that worries about being a control freek. Also I do not care how bad her parents were she should not trash them on TV. I had parents that were not that good to me but I maintain a relationship them, she needs to grow up and do the same.

She's got a face like a hound dog... deep set eyes, like Abraham Lincoln.

I used to like the show, but now it is all about me, me, me.

Ugh, never liked Bethanny. Too much of macho me, me, me. Poor husband of hers has his hands full, but for how long????????? Not a good marriage so far. It's all about her, her, her. Time for her to get to where us regular mortals live and get off her pedestal.

Love Bethay and how much she is will to work hard at a bumpy start to her marriage. She wanted success worked HARD and got it. Bryn is precious and Jason is a sweetie but need to listen to her more. She was on Skating with the stars and was awesome! Julie we will miss you on the show.
