Why don't we ask how she keeps those countertops so darned clean, or that hair such a lovely orange color? |

Ha ha ha ... good one, good one ... I think I will post a question: "You keep such a lovely home. What products do you use -- or do you make your own kitchen counter cleaner? Is there a product line in the future?" |

Brandi's current Amazon rankings: 280 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #2 in Books > Humor & Entertainment > Television > Shows #5 in Books > Biographies & Memoirs > Leaders & Notable People > Rich & Famous #12 in Books > Biographies & Memoirs > Arts & Literature > Entertainers Clownie's debut rankings: #1,262 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #5 in Books > Humor & Entertainment > Television > Shows #13 in Books > Health, Fitness & Dieting > Mental Health > Happiness #25 in Books > Biographies & Memoirs > Arts & Literature > Entertainers I have a feeling that releasing it while the season is not airing is a mistake. After friends and family are done buying it the first few days, she is really going to drop off. I wonder if it will pick up during the season. Brandi's is still going strong I think because BH is still airing. Edited by Finestra, Mar 28 2013, 11:38 AM.

I think those ratings reflect the book stores stocking up on copies, not actual people purchasing the book. I wish they would do a "books unsold" chart! Clownie might rank #2 on that one, just behind Jill Zarin who must be at #1 and both placing above Taylor Armstrong who is hunkered into the #3 spot ... RH Publishing Mistakes of the Century. |

The reviews are not piling in as fast as I thought they would on Clown's book. Brandi's came out of the gate with a bang (LOL) and she was collecting dozens of reviews an hour. We're on day 3 and it's only got 8 reviews. |

I wish they still had the tags. Those tags about Clownie's book were hilarious. |

They were hilarious. I'm sorry they removed them. She's up to 10 reviews now. Loved that review you posted, fin. This one had me cracking up:

Is this supposed to be a joke? Because the idea of Clownie dispensing advice about these subjects is ridiculous. |

I think Icy's probably right about the sales to bookstores counting in the numbers they are showing. Because the reviews really are coming in so painfully slowly. There's only 1 review on Barnes and Noble, 4 stars but the review basically says nothing. |

Barnes and Nobel won't publish negative reviews. That review is great. Thanks for posting it. There IS a way to tell about results being skewed from mass buys, but I don't know what it is. It was posted in the comments for the #1 review on Jill's book. (Which had multiple mass buys late in the game when Amazon really dropped the price trying to sell dusty copies.) Right after that, Jill started tweeting like crazy that if people would buy the book from her, at full price + shipping, she would autograph them and throw in a Team Jill T-shirt. That was where all the jokes about Bobby's warehouse being full of Jill's unsold books started. After the mass buys on Jill's book, Amazon revised it's policy of rating top sellers to partially exclude mass buys from private parties from it's rankings. I don't remember the details, but if anyone cares to read through all of those comments, it's all in there. |

Yeah, another thing I found out about during Amazon-gate. That's why, before Jill allegedly bought a ton at free shipping and bargain basement Amazon prices, she kept telling people to go to Barnes and Nobel. I think they allow a 3 rating, but comments are REALLY monitored, at least back then. I don't use their site because of that. I love reading positive and negative reviews on Amazon, even if I end up buying something elsewhere, I almost always check Amazon first, because people speak freely. "Arrived broken, still trying to get them to send replacement" vs "arrived fast and secure, assembled easily" or "burned out after one 2 months, had to throw it away." I remember, for example, reading a bunch of reviews on bread machines, very informative. |
