Appreciation Post: Jessel Taank
While Brynn Whitfield had a breakthrough with the fans from the first moment, the appreciation for Jessel Taank was more like a slow burn.
But boy, did she shine brighter than the rest of the women at the end of the season.
Brynn, Erin Lichy and Sai De Silva had strong openings, while Jessel was quickly getting on my nerves, like her million complaints in the Hamptons.
However, it was at her lunch with Erin where everything shifted for me. The “Tribeca is up and coming” lunch.
That lunch reminded me of the good old days of Real Housewives. Nene Leakes and Shereé Whitfield. Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Bensimon.
And she didn’t disappoint from that moment on.
The women might not have noticed it. Maybe they didn’t think that the fans would like her.
She’s clueless with her rudeness and as longwinded as Dorit Kemsley.
She’s keeping a list on her phone of all her complaints about the other women.
She had two erratic twin boys and a supposedly sexless marriage, that became a huge topic within the group.
She also had an interesting lunch with Sai as well. She arrived 40 minutes late with no warning. That also reminded me of Dorit.
After their trip to Anguilla, she tried to connect with the women, and Erin and especially Sai were dismissive and ridiculing her stories.
That’s what I mean when it seems like the women didn’t think that we were going to like Jessel.
They tried to ridicule her every chance they got.
But as the season progressed, the ones with the strong openings became bleaker and bleaker, as my fascination for Jessel and Jenna Lyons became stronger and stronger.
Jessel is just fascinating.
There are some housewives that you just love watch. Everything from their manners, their antics, and their opinions just entertain me.
And Jessel is one of those housewives.
Like when she and her husband Pavit Randhawa were looking at kinder gardens for their twin boys:
“Tom Cruise sent his kid here. You could rub shoulders with that!”
Priceless scene.
Jessel is the star of RHONY.
