  1. I just happened to have seen Allegiance from season 3 on Pluto. One of the ways the crew was able to figure out that something was off with Picard in that episode was because the fake Picard had the crew run safety and security drills. It sounds like Picard treated those drills the same way he thought about his annual physical--something he avoided and had to be forced into doing.
  2. I thought it was funny, but Another Period and Drunk History both did very hilarious versions of Harriet Tubman. Symone's version felt vaguely reminiscent of those. Another Period's version was a branding expert who came up with the Underground Railroad name because white people love trains and sold a line of Tubman Man-Tubs (aka barrels) for people to go over Niagara Falls in. She was also certain that she was going to be on money. Drunk History's version was Harriet Tubman and the Bad Ass Bitches. I'm not saying Symone was inspired or influenced by either of these depictions, just that Symone's version felt a lot less funny and original to me because I was familiar with them. That said, I think there should have been a top 4 because Symone was more than just safe.
  3. Bad Take Bethenny reminding us that she's still around, very parched, has a podcast, and that any empathy she has for others ends when it impacts her own interests.
  4. I know this is slightly off topic, but Ronald Richards not remembering movies could be a regular SNL sketch. It is that ridiculous. Plus he accidentally name drops the movie in every description. "What is that movie starring Rutger Hauer where he plays that guy whose daughter was 'Taken?' It wasn't Rutger Hauer. It was Liam Nelson. What was the name of that movie?" "What is that movie with Harrison Ford where he's the doctor who is convicted of a crime he didn't commit and he becomes a 'Fugitive?' What is that film?" Erika and the roses is the cringiest thing this side of Vicki Gunvalson. Girl, we know you bought them for yourself. Stop watching Clueless and taking tips from Vicki to look desirable.
  5. We had a girl squatting in her former dorm room after being kicked out of the dorms for some other violation. They called the campus police on her a couple of times; they'd escort her out of the building, but not do much more than that. She'd sneak back in and threaten to beat up whoever called the campus police on her. No one, not our RA or anyone else, narc'd on her because that bitch was crazy and dangerous. It's only when she stabbed another girl on the floor did the RA call the city police on the squatter. The RA was obviously in her own room during the phone call because the squatter was that dangerous. The squatter was tiny. I don't think she was more than 105 pounds, but it took 4 city police officers to subdue her AND she still managed to break free and kick a police officer and the residence hall director into a window which shattered. I don't blame my RA or the hall director. We told them; they called campus police. Campus police escorted her out. I blame the University, who kicked her out of the dorms, but still allowed her to remain a student, which gave her an opportunity to keep sneaking into the dorms and terrorizing us. At a certain point we all stopped saying anything because we were so afraid. That's how I feel about reporting that Lauren’s gaslighting stalker was squatting in the dorms. There's nothing to indicate that campus police or the university would have taken that any more seriously than they took the much more serious reports they received later. It's literally about awareness. It's not even the internet; it's something that was born of cable news and the 24/7 news cycle. There's zero chance 40 years ago that a random disappearance of 2 kids in Idaho would have made the news in any place other than Idaho let alone the national news and yet we all know about Lori Daybell. 48 Hours premiered in 1988. Dateline in 1992. Court TV in 1991. The OJ Simpson trial began in 1994. All of this kind of stuff has always happened. We just never heard about it. Even the idea that it's important to pay attention to all of the problematic past behaviors of a criminal is a relatively new idea. The FBI didn't start really paying attention to psychology until Hoover died in the early 70s because he thought it was bullshit. And loads of law enforcement officials refused to take any sex crimes seriously until about the 80s. The Trailside Killer molested 2 of his cousins. He was incarcerated for that. He attempted to murder his first known adult victim, who is Lisa Rinna's mother. He went to prison for 7 years. He got out, kidnapped, and raped a woman. He went to prison for 7 years for that. He went and killed 5 more women when he got out. The concept that we should be paying attention to any or all of these things is new, but people have been doing all of these types of things for a very long time.
  6. Do they though? Considering that we've never seen Jax pour a drink correctly, including a glass of wine and a shot, and Brittany couldn't remember any of the names of the wines and has said "Would you like to try the share-cute-story board?" to customers, I'm going to say that those two don't even have basic table waiting and drink pouring skills.
  7. The mistake is thinking Bethenny only had one successful product. She's had two. The first is Bethenny Frankel. The second is Skinnygirl margarita. She can't flog her booze business because she sold it. The rest of the Skinnygirl business is like Acme Corporation in a Looney Tunes cartoon; they make EVERYTHING and none of it works or seems worthwhile. This means Bethenny has to go back to selling her original product--Bethenny. Bethenny has mostly negative opinions on everything because the only product that she thinks has a future and is worth a damn is herself.
  8. It really was a mistake to use that Skinnygirl name for everything Bethenny was trying to sell. It was fine for food, drinks, vitamins and supplements. Maybe for shapewear. But the other stuff...that's a branding mess. What's "skinny" about face cream, candles, hair products, sweaters, jackets, and shirts? From the moment she realized that she was going to start developing product lines where "skinny" made zero sense in the branding, she really should have come up with and developed an alternative brand like "SG by Bethenny," "B Real," or "BF by Bethenny" to stick all of those products in. Many people have said it before and I'm going to say it again that it was a mistake not to do that. That "Skinnygirl" name is just an albatross on those other products.
  9. @hoodooznoodooz it is. Bethenny uses everyone. Dorinda was a messy chaotic drunk that Bethenny didn't want to be associated with in season 10, but then was stealth besties with as Bethenny used Dorinda to wage a shadow war with Tinsley during season 12, even as Dorinda's messy chaotic drunken behavior escalated. Bethenny and Dorinda have been hanging out even after Dorinda's drunkenness got her ass fired given an involuntary break because Bethenny's got a podcast now and is now willing to concede that Richard, a slightly powerful man who was slightly political, might actually have connections to somebody actually powerful and actually political who Bethenny might want to interview on her podcast. I'm sure Bethenny is back with Paul because some other better romantic entanglement didn't work out for her.
  10. Thanks everyone! It was a little scary. It brought up all of those scary memories and feelings from being doxxed many years ago. Thankfully everyone seems to have moved on. I appreciate all of the kind and encouraging words.
  11. I'm sort of having a meltdown right now because a comment I made on Reddit has gone weird Real Housewives viral. There was a post a week or two ago about what we thought happened between Carole and Bethenny. I took a comment I made here, cleaned it up, and used it on Reddit. It must have been a slow news day because people loved it. When asked about my sources, I said I didn't have any insider knowledge, but used Bethenny and Carole's social media to suss out that Bethenny's version was skewed. Someone loved it enough that they posted my comment as it's own post. Then some Real Housewives Instagrammers and bloggers started reposting it all over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Lipstick Alley, and whatnot. And now Carole has said something on Twitter. I don't want any of this shit. I don't need any of this shit. It was just a dumb comment on Reddit. I've already started getting the replies and DMs from random Redditors calling me a liar. Why is this one blowing up? Meanwhile my comment about Jax Taylor lying about his duties in the Navy goes unloved. He said he drove Navy Seals around. I joked that it was much more likely that his actual job in the Navy was to drive a bunch of trained seals and the singer Seal, who was wearing navy, around in a golf cart for a USO tour. I really wanted to see someone turn that into a caricature. I've been doxxed before because of work and it's the worst. I think I need to dump that Reddit username. The irony of this is that I've barely watched anything on Bravo during this last year. Well before the pandemic, I was just souring on all of their programming. I can't wait until the vaccinations are more widely available and we get back to some sense of normalcy.
  12. Only if Jax drops to his knees and shows Randall how much he truly appreciates everything Randall does for him. Let's be real, Lala said Randall propositioned her at an audition, she had sex with him, and the next day she had a car. Every time Lala gets upset with Randall, he gets really shirty and takes things away from her: shoes, cards, car, etc. Jax ain't getting shit from Randall if he ain't giving up something to Randall and Jax won't be able to get away with half the attitude he has with everyone else. Jax is going to have to go back to selling that bussy like in his Miami days.
  13. Oh, god no! Both men intiated the divorces. Kordell filed for divorce from Porsha. She found out from TMZ and other blogs before Kordell could serve her notice. I think TMZ called her for a statement. I think seeing their relationship on the show probably helped Porsha to decide not to fight the divorce, but Kordell initiated it. Michael filed for divorce from Jules in June or July of 2016. Bethenny snidely intimated during the reunion that Jules and Michael had planned for Jules to be on the show to give her an income stream and help her launch Modern Alkame so she'd have her own money after the divorce. I don't know how true that was because Jules seemed pretty blindsided by Michael dumping the kids with his parents and going to bang his girlfriend while the women were in Miami for the cast trip. I think Jules knew the marriage was bad, but truly didn't understand how bad it was until they began filming.
  14. If they did end on good terms, Heather has been pretty explicit about her opinion of Bethenny since then. Heather has said Bethenny only contacts her when Bethenny wants something. Heather has also said that Bethenny was using Carole--as an ally on the show and for Carole's social contacts off the show. When Carole ceased to be useful to Bethenny, Bethenny just cut Carole loose. I think Heather and Bethenny are in the same cynical place Bethenny is with everyone, but Heather is just being aware and candid about Bethenny and Bethenny's motives.
  15. "Sooooooooooo you're saying they know who I am." --Bethenny
  16. I sat down and worked through the timeline of summer 2017, the summer before season 10 filmed. Bethenny's fucked up narrative is much worse than I realized. During that summer that Bethenny claimed Carole spent gallivanting with Tinsley talking about eyelashes, Carole spent only about 2 weeks with Tinsley and Bethenny was filming Bethenny & Fredrik. We know that filming went so poorly that Fredrik said he'd never work with Bethenny again. Bethenny had a chance for her own show (sort of) and fucked it up again by being awful. Just like she did with BEA, her talk show, and her Sirius radio show. This, of course, explains why Bethenny was so hyper-focused on getting to LA to hang out with Carole and Cassandra Grey. In the last week of August, Bethenny begins doing charity work. She helps raise $300K for Hurricane Harvey in Texas. They raise $150K for the Puebla Earthquake in Mexico. Hurricane Maria hits Puerto Rico on September 20th. Bethenny wants to step up her charity work. Carole puts Bethenny in touch with a friend of hers who works with Michael Capponi on Haitian charity work. I think Capponi is shady as hell, but Bethenny never would have been able to pull off what they did if not for Capponi. She raised more than $1 million and sent 5 planes full of supplies. Carole gives Bethenny the connections to transform her image from catty looks based loud-mouthed reality TV star to selfless philanthropist who is above the silly petty vagaries of Real Housewives AND Bethenny turns around and spits in Carole's face. Bethenny still works with Capponi, but doesn't speak to Carole. Bethenny a user par excellence.
  17. It was actually 5 because Bethenny was living with billionaire Warren Lichtenstein after she and Jason split. I think she lived with him for 6 or 7 months. Bethenny got dragged into Lichtenstein's custody battle and child support case with Anna Bond. Bethenny denied that she and Lichtenstein were sleeping together at the time; She was also seeing Cerussi at the same time. Bethenny has since admitted in court during her own custody case that she was sleeping with Lichtenstein. Of course all of Bethenny's parched comments about Cardi B are Bethenny trying to manufacture a beef between the two of them. It makes me think of the numerous ways that Bethenny is a massive hypocrite. Bethenny was fucking her billionaire friend for a place to live. Bethenny dated a guy accused of rape whose defense was that his accuser only claimed it was rape after the fact because his frat buddies called her a whore who had sex with 2 guys at the same time. Bethenny has cavalierly thrown out random comments about blowing people for slurpees and braiding each other's pussy hair. I don't know why she's implying that Cardi's "garage" is stretched out when Cardi has really only been romantically linked with Offset, who she married, and a couple of other entertainers, at least one of whom she publicly castigated for saying they had sex when they absolutely didn't. Meanwhile Bethenny has been linked with MANY men. Bethenny is just a gross fucking person.
  18. Dorinda was a guest on Bethenny's podcast, Just B. It's the episode with Paris Hilton. I think Dorinda is the first 10 or 15 minutes. I said that Tinsley was very lucky that Luann decided to be an unstable asshole for season 11 because it was very clear that Bethenny's sights were aimed at Tinsley at the end of the season 10 reunion. I think Ramona was correct that Bethenny was busy filling Dorinda with poison and invective about Tinsley for all of season 12. Bethenny is a toxic person and Dorinda is too drunk and angry to notice that she was being used as Bethenny's attack dog. The only person who has any real reason to be angry at Tinsley is Sonja and that's largely bullshit. Tinsley isn't completely candid and transparent about her life; neither are the rest of these assholes. They all adopted this hatred of Tinsley that's been ginned up out of nothing by the SkinnySwill Maven. The only reason that Bethenny is out being Team Dorinda is because the quarantine put a crimp in her plans for her HBO Max shows and she thought she'd have a lot more done with those by this time. Talking about RHONY, Dorinda, and Tinsley is just a way for Bethenny to stay relevant.
  19. Tom wanted to disqualify the whole lot and give Marcel the title and money, but he was overruled by the producers. One of the travesties of the head shaving expulsion is that Cliff was actually the least obnoxious of those 4. I've seen somewhat recent interviews with Ilan and Sam and they're both still insufferable.
  20. It's not about finances because they had a prenup and the judge was able to straighten out the apartment trust fiasco. This is entirely about custody. Bethenny wants primary physical and legal custody. We know that at one point she really wanted to move to LA and take Bryn with her. Bethenny said that the incident at the school was evidence that Jason was unstable and dangerous and that the custody arrangement should be altered. Jason wanted it to stay the same. It was only when Dennis died that Jason argued that Bethenny's fitness should be investigated. It was petty, but earned. The court psychologist said the custody arrangement shouldn't be altered and that Bryn benefits from having both of her parents in her life. The judge even said that something like 80% of Jason's endless voicemails, texts, and emails were just Jason trying to confirm that Bethenny had the details of Bryn's schedule (when homework was due, projects, upcoming events). Jason isn't some angel. He and Bethenny are both obnoxious and need to put their child first. One would hope that they both love the kid more than they hate each other. But Bethenny since she sold Skinnygirl thinks she knows better than anybody. She doesn't listen to anyone. She made millions selling booze so clearly she must know tons about real estate. It stands to reason that her real estate decisions must be brilliant too despite Fredrik and Ramona telling her that she was making a mistake. Bethenny lost a solid $1.5 million and ruined her relationship with Fredrik, but it's not like she could ever be wrong. The psychologist says keep the custody the same, but what does a trained behavioral health professional know that Bethenny doesn't. The level of her arrogance and narcissism is astonishing.
  21. Seeing as I've compared Monique to CT from RW: Paris and The Challenge, I've got to assume that Monique's goal was a lot like CT's during his iconic fight with Adam. When asked if he wanted to kill Adam, CT in the middle of his berserker rage said something like "Yes! I want to beat his face in, eat his brains, and piss in skull because I win every fight." A 15 minute attempt to cool off CT didn't work either. https://youtu.be/fcF7feqQOQE I wish I could find a better version of the back half of that fight.
  22. This fight seems like the psychic progeny of that bonkers Challenge Duel II fight between CT and Adam. And yes, Monique is the CT in this fight. That's not a good thing and her behind should be deeply ashamed of her behavior.
