'Bethenny' beating out Queen Latifah in ratings but at what cost to her morals? Bethenny Frankel may be currently ruling the Queen, but it could be because of the new format of 'Bethenny' which is filled with more controversial interviews with D-list celebrities, like Courtney Stodden, and less provoking topics.

In her newest interview Bethenny grills the laughable Courtney Stodden saying,"You look very promiscuous, and you look like the next move should be porn video, and that would be the right thing to do if this is the way you are marketing yourself." Is this the route that Bethenny really wants to take to beat the Queen.

Bethenny was trying very hard to find out what the provacative teen was going to make of her life, but the conversation was just humorous and a tongue-in-cheek laugh at the teen that married, then divorced, a 53-year-old. Is this what 'Bethenny' has come to for better ratings?

Bethenny is going against what she has always believed her talk show should be, making a mockery of day time TV. Though Bethenny is finally doing well in the ratings ultimately beating Latifah in ratings, it comes at a pricey moral cost.

There's been a clear shift on 'Bethenny' from an honest lifestyle format to contraversial celebrity interviews with laughable celebs like Courtney Stodden, Omarosa, and Farrah Abraham.  Her interviews with teh tabloid fodders were certainly entertaining, with the audience booing the guests and mocking their opinions.  But Bethenny is turning into the Jerry Springer of daytime TV and moving farther from her initial vision. 

 Bethenny Frankel's ratings are up 33% after her talk show 'Bethenny' was previously tanking in the ratings.  'Bethenny' remained at No. 14 for the week ending Oct. 27, but she saw a 33% increase in women 25-54, topping the #1 talk show, Queen Latifah, for the time being.  It's the first time  'Bethenny' is beating out the Queen in ratings demos.

Bethenny Frankel talk show ratings were previously not very good. 'Bethenny' was falling way behind in talk show ratings as Queen Latifah has scored 1/3 higher ratings than Bethenny. It seemed women would rather watch the Queen over a reality star.

So what's the reason behind her ratings boost? It could be her controversial guests such as Courtney, Omarosa and Farrah Abraham. Omarosa certainly thinks that she is responsible for the ratings hike telling RadarOnline: "I never wanted to help Bethenny's ratings. I was a life preserver for her sinking ship!"

Omarosa was extremely rude to Frankel, even calling the talk show host 'mediocre' and not letting her speak on her own set. Omarosa rudely tells Bethenny, "It's different for you and I. I am an African-American woman. You get to walk around and be mediocre and you still get rewarded with things. We have to be exceptional to get anything in this business." And then it got interesting!

The 'Bethenny' audience booed Omarosa and started to defend the host. Bethenny said her guest was getting 'quite defensive' and kept running her mouth without letting anyone speak. Although Bethenny kept saying 'listen,' Omarosa would not shut her mouth. 

"I don't think you have a brand," Bethenny Frankel said.

"You make cupcakes, I worked in the White House," Omarosa snapped. To the talk show host. "Get a grip."

"I am a smart businesswoman who celebrates being smart and there is a brand in being smart," Omarosa said.

"Your brand is smart?" Frankel quipped. "That's in your business plan?" 

"We have a chance to turn this thing around," the Apprentice competitor said tring to makenice.

"No, we don't," Frankel said ending the feud. It was entertaining but it felt like it was bordering on mean.

Teen Mom Farrah Abraham previously went on 'Bethenny' and got grilled by the talk show host and her audience. The two mothers had very different ideas about how to raise their daughters making for another controversial interview.  

 Audience members were outraged at Abraham's poor parenting skills.  An audience member even said 'my head was going to pop off' at Farrah's opinions.

 Farrah has spoken out saying the talk show host was 'rude.' 

According to RadarOnline Farrah Abraham also says Bethenny Frankel was 'bent on making her look bad, even telling people to not buy her Farrah Abraham sex toy line.'

'Before going on the show, I was told that it would be a positive and inspirational talk for mothers and business women,' Farrah, 22, told Radar in an exclusive interview.

'But as soon as I met Bethenny, it turned into a judgmental zone. She did not like how I valued my daughter's opinion and care so much about her that I allow her to have her own voice.'

'She brought up very old misconstrued tabloid topics like my daughter's unibrow and had judgmental women who were in the audience act disrespectful towards me and twist my opinion - as a mother, I care about my daughter's hygiene - to suggest Sophia would not be beautiful, even if she had a unibrow. It was rude and I felt Bethenny siding with these women and their untrue statements. This was very rude as my life has moved on from all of this, plus, it made no sense at all being the first release of the sex toys are for men not women.'

'Perhaps her ex-husband Jason will be purchasing my sex toys... not women like Bethenny,' she added. Bethenny seems to be in a dark place in her life and it was shocking to see how against women she really is.'

She hopes the former Real Housewives Of New York star 'comes to better terms with herself so she can be a better mother.'

Bethenny recently tried to get her New York Housewives on the show in a desperate need to boost her rating, but the ladies refused because Bethenny's staff called the girls and not Frankel herself. They were insulted by her inability to personally reach out.

A Bethenny Frankel insider reveals about the need to get her controversial ex Real Housewives cast mates on her show saying, "Bethenny is feeling pressure from network executives because ratings from her talk show have been less than stellar. Both ladies turned down the invitation to appear on the talk show. She didn't want to invite Jill and Alex to come on, but she really needs a ratings boost, and thought having them come on would generate a ton of publicity. Bethenny was stunned that they both said no, she really thought they would agree to come on the show. Bethenny's bosses suggested she call Jill and Alex personally, but she absolutely refused." 

What do you think is the reason for Bethenny's increase in ratings?
