EXACTLY!! Which makes it all that much more annoying that she held the glass, not by the stem, but by cupping her hand under the part that holds the champagne (sorry, I'm not schooled enough to know what the proper terminology is). Doofus!

That's the whole thing!..They aren't even arguing over stemware anymore, they are now arguing about the argument about the stemware and who was allowed to say what in support of whom. I need a score card. Teddi was mad at/annoyed with Dorit for being late Dorit is annoyed with Teddi for making a big deal (54 minutes) out of nothing (did Dorit claim 15 minutes?) Dorit is annoyed with Teddi for serving champagne in a wine glass (after having the GALL to ask her to stop by early to iron things out) Teddi is annoyed with Dorit being annoyed about the glass, Dorit is annoyed with Teddi for venting her annoyance with LVP Kyle tries to explain Teddi's side, LVP tries to explain Dorit's side, making Dorit annoyed with Kyle (because Dorit likes LVP best)... Kyle assumes an LVP conspiracy (because what is a season of RHBH without accusations of an LVP conspiracy?) LVP has enough of their petty fighting and lateness and leaves, and now Kyle and Dorit are bffs annoyed with LVP for leaving mid-fight. Teddi is no longer involved in any argument because lategate has somehow morphed into Kyle being all butt hurt because Dorit knows things about LVP that Kyle doesn't (even tho she's too busy with her show(s), or on the phone with her agent to actually have a conversation with LVP, but, ok, whatevs). Naturally, this is all LVPs fault. Is that about right? Oh, I almost forgot...Did you guys know that Lisa R is back on her soap opera and will be appearing in an episode of The Middle? I'm not sure if she mentioned it.

We need to find out who is telling Kyle she looks good in those outfits, so we can determine if someone is playing a joke on her, or if she truly is that style-challenged. It seems like she goes after what she believes to be the latest trend (bell sleeves, pajamas, billowy puffy sleeves, wide legged pants,..) without seeing how unflattering these styles look on her -she's in good shape, a bit muscular, and petite, but her clothes make her look thick, shapeless and stumpy, imo.

For some reason, her sing-song "How are you?" that she greets everyone with is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

Agreed, until it gets mean and hurtful.

That lighthearted fun is what I enjoy most too. As far as the bolded, it seems that most of the franchises started off with that intention, but somethting always happens that they don't anticipate and/or someone reacts in an unexpected manner (Kyle vs Camille, Danielle Staub vs everyone,...). The fun ends, teams are formed, grudges are held, and spiteful childish behavior ensues.

I wonder if she schooled them on how to marry a rich man a la Big Kathy

good vs well?

I enjoyed watching Mikey try to dial it back, because he knew better than to tell Boy George how to perform.

It sometimes seems like someone had given Dorit advice about being on the show and told her the viewers love when they show their opulent lifestyles and homes. Usually that means showing off ginormous closets and spending ridiculous amounts of money on luxury brand items that we wouldn't be able justify spending that much money on even if we could afford it. Dorit thinks it includes being a pretentious bitch. She is wrong.

How old is Teddi? She kind of reminds me of me and my friends in our early 20's after just having moved out on our own. Because of our limited amount of disposable income and general naivete (or ignorance) for the "finer things", we were proud of the "set" of glasses acquired by attending wine festivals mixed in with a few quirky mismatched others. Teddi seems to wear her lack of knowledge of all things fancy like a badge of honor, to show how down to earth she is. She's like the Anti-Heather (DuBrow RHOC).

Please, for the love of God, tell me she isn't buying into the Siggy Flicker motivational psychobabble. I will be very disappointed in her if we spot "No 1 Countess" signs throughout her house, or if she redecorates her entranceway with giant photos of herself.

I think it was from Bethenny's trip to Mexico. Aren't those the horns they drank the tequila from?

I don't know if it's her hands or the way she moves them, but her talking heads always remind me of the Man Hands episode of Seinfeld. They have a kind of "meatiness" about them, imo.

I love the pizza box cake plate.

You are being too kind. My son's middle school rendition of The Music Man, with a lead who couldn't carry a tune with a bucket, was better than that.

I can't believe I'm defending John, but at least he wears button-down shirts (not t-shirts) with suit/sport jackets and, although his hair is slicked back, he appears to be clean and not disheveled or as sweaty. An obese Slade perhaps?

Note to Dorit; If you're going to be pretentious about the stemware, at least hold it correctly.

She kind of looks like Carol Radziwell-without the blown up lips and plastic surgery,

Maybe, if we're lucky, she'll go underground or into the witness protection program, and we'll never see or hear from her again. A girl can wish, can't she?

My money is on Ramona saying it. LOL! I see @ryebread beat me to it! Agree tho, Bethenny is also an excellent candidate ;)

And then she justifies her retaliative behavior by saying she did it because of how hurt or angry that person made her feel, regardless of how childish and over the top her reaction is. She needs to learn coping mechanisms.

Instead she "owns it" by apologizing with "I may have acted inappropriately." May have acted inappropriately?!! MAY have?!!! She is exhausting.

I don't think she received the call while filming (but my DVR hates me right now, so I could have missed it). It was when She and Mikey were complaining about the jet-lag, she brought it up to one-up him on how much harder her situation is because, along with her jet-lag, she now watches Tom sleep and breathe and deal with pain.

Agreed, tho I did think it was odd that she said "Mr. Girardi broke his ankle" instead of referring to him as Tom. I'm sure Mikey knows who Tom is and that he's the boss, and might even have been told to call him "Mr. Girardi". I suppose it could be a private joke between them with Tom being "the boss" as we've been told so many times, that maybe that's just the way they refer to him when talking to each other, but it stood out to me for some reason.
