This is why I'm glad I never visited the Real Housewives threads at Reddit. (The only thread I like over there anymore is Just Engaged. Call me a sap, but I love looking at sparkly engagement rings and hearing happy stories.) The mods here are good at shutting down vitriol against our boardmates when they rarely happen. I remember when I would feel bad after reading Yolonda's thread here. I realized I was feeling bad only because I didn't share in the vitriol directed at HER. It was rarely directed at me. When it was, I'd report it and the mods would remove the posts if warranted. But I just stopped going to the thread when I realized that everyone is entitled to their opinion about whatever housewife and as long as it wasn't directed at me or a board mate, it was fair game. It was my choice to feel upset if others didn't like Yo-yo. Like you, I'll be happy when this season is over. Although, with all the extra curricular activity in the press and social media regarding these particular Housewives, I don't think it's quite over yet

You're lucky. My mother will still pinch the back our arms if any of her 50+ year-old children uttered an expletive in her presence. Just like she did when we were young and one of us called the other a stupid head or ordered someone to shut up. That was the extent of her tolerance for trash mouth. I called another driver a "dumb ass" once when my mom was in the car with me. She exercised great control and didn't pinch me until the car was safely stopped. I was 38-years-old. LOL. Bless her heart.

And this is why I adore our mods. This forum doesn't often go sideways. Reddit is a shitshow - anything goes. For Reddit to actually lock a thread....

My emphasis is usually on the 'f'. Although the last time I broke my toe, I believe the emphasis was on the entire word 'mother'. As in 'MOTHER f*cker'. Speaking of mothers, I somehow feel I owe an apology to mine for this conversation. LOL

LOL Annnnnd you just reminded me of how Miss Bossy Pants irritated me. ***shakes fist at Happy Camper***

Not even Andy. It's too early to tell, but just from the first part it seems as if Andy told Bethenny to just remain seated, zen and smile serenely while he does all the talking in her defense. Not to say that he doesn't go after her in the following installments, just like we see that Bethenny doesn't remain seated OR zen as she jumps out of her seat and goes after Carole. That, I'm also looking forward to. Wonder what that's about?

I hope she doesn't come back. And not because I thought she was hard to watch but, for me, she redeemed herself by how she got herself into good condition, physically and mentally after she left. She seems to spend her time on quality projects and her family looks to be tighter than ever. Since leaving the show, I hope she's done less angry mo#%!er f*cking and has found her happy place.

For six bucks it should be!

If Bethenny was a pharma mule for Dennis, then, mention it ALL. And let the custody cards fall where they may. Poor Bryn. If this is pure speculation, I hope Beth's attorneys ruin him.

Isn't Carole responsible for why Bravo doesn't allow comments on their blogs anymore? Wasn't she arguing with negative commentators using a name not her own? After seeing her shitnanigans on Twitter yesterday and knowing that she changes her enemy's Wiki pages in her spare time, it sounds like something she would do.

She's been smoking for years.

I don't think Heather will ever come back. As loud and foul-mouthed as I found her to be, there's no denying that she's smart and I think her family and sanity means far too much for her to rejoin the circus. I respect her for that. And wow, Patti Stanger, look at you! She's lost a lot of weight.

So many tweets ripping on Carole on her feed. This one made me laugh. Although it probaby hurt her the most.

I wasn't ever a fan but I knew there was no going back for me after Scary Island. Kelly was clearly having a breakdown of some sort at dinner. After she was gone, Bethenny started jumping up and down and laughing and high-fiving the other women screaming that she was right - that Kelly was crazy. Told them that she'd always known that something was wrong with her. It was just cruel. Beyond. That said, I can have compassion for what Beth's going through now, I just don't like her and can't imagine I ever will. I hope someone will ask the same question about Carole someday My answer will be: again, never a fan but today was the day that Carole lost me completely and forever. I'm surprised she was able to keep her hatefulness so under wraps until after she was off the show. Her cruelty by retweeting and commenting about Bethenny, so soon after her loss is beyond the pale. I've never disliked a hw more, from start to finish, than Dorinda. But she lost me, believe it or not, because of her facial expressions during the Clip! Clip! scene. Her face just screamed, Psycho. My tolerance is low, I know. LOL.

Yep, she co-signed them. What a little ball o' hate that one is. She's positively seething and it's eating her from the inside out - it shows all over her face. I don't know why I'm surprised. She's being more un-cool than I ever imagined she could be. And the bar was set pretty low to begin with.

Whoa. I just looked, too. She's getting nailed. Her fans' blinders are finally coming off.

You had me fooled until the "ravages of humidity and cameltoe" part. LOL. It's early, I need my coffee.

The first paragraph to the last, and all the paragraphs in between... Slow clap. You've a memory like a steel trap, Luna.

That is precisely why I left New York City. I don't regret a minute of time I spent there in my twenties. But, I knew I needed room to roam and didn't want to spend $10,000 a month to get it. I loved NYC, though. No place like it on Earth. And the only reason I stick with this franchise.

I think Victoria just isn't very bright.

@BckpckFullaNinjas Did you recently read Carole's book? If so, do you remember a part about Carole's Grandma teaching her and her cousin's how to go into the grocery store and shoplift? Anybody?

This. If it's true that she and Jill are texting, then Bethenny didn't just go to the funeral and Shiva for publicity and then cut ties. Sometimes, even my life and those of my close friends gets so busy that the only way we can communicate with each other is via text. And I'm not nearly as busy as Bethenny or Jill. So if texting each other a couple times a month is their way of rekindling their friendship, I get it. I wonder if Jill contacted Bethenny after Dennis died.

One picture, Carole. Just one and I promise that I will never question the deepest friendship in the history of friendships, ever again. In the clip, above, from "Ghost Hunter" or "Ghost Watcher" or "Ghost Writer", whatever, she said she and Carolyn had matching gold, friendship rings. She and Heather also have matching gold friendship rings! She has a lot of best friends. But only 10 fingers. See the dilemma?

Something about taking his widowed mother to Las Vegas just reels me in. THAT is a most excellent quality in a man. Most excellent.
