Not saying it’s bad, but while beautiful, she probably turns guys off with her wild ways.  I’m sure she can have plenty of men, but can she hold them? 
Beth can get plenty of men no matter her age as she’s just got it .. plus she’s already been married before and had numerous boyfriends.

Sorry, this belongs in the Leah or Bethenny thread and mods may move but...just responding.

She's got what? She has been married and divorced twice. Apparently she doesn't choose well. Aside from her choices in husbands, look at her boyfriends. The best friend of her first husband. The first Jason who didn't want to commit, then an accused rapist. After that a drug addict. She gets men. She gets the wrong ones.

I don't think Bethenny scores any points for being married before and having numerous boyfriends.

A hard "NO" to Kelly returning. This show is circling the drain even after ditching Tamra and Vicki. Nothing promising in sight.

I realize that on the list of Denise and Aaron's questionable life decisions, this likely doesn't crack the top five, but... a pickup truck is not a learning-to-drive car.  

Why does every teenage girl on this show always talk like April from Parks and Recreation?  

I learned to drive in a pick up, as did many of my friends.

I think we're talking past each other. I didn't say that she was "hiding aspects of her life."

I stand corrected. You did not say that. I should have posted my comments separately about the roles the other housewives play instead of quoting you.

But even if that is all true - that still doesn't mean we're seeing an authentic version of Denise. At this point, the only thing I think I can trust about the persona that Denise is presenting is that she's a devoted mother - and that's mostly because of the actions she took before she came on the show. But everything else about her feels pretty inauthentic, to me. Your mileage may vary, etc. 

I guess I don't see any "persona" that she is presenting other than being a good mom. Her history demontrates that she is a good mom. (Eloise as example) She has been pretty up front about the shit show around Charlie and the prostitutes etc.  I don't see her hiding any aspects of her life.

Kyle, Rinna, Dorit and Erika. I get a strong sense that they are hiding fairly large pieces of their lives and are afraid of exposure. I believe that their lives hold hidden secrets that they are afraid of coming to the surface. Focusing on Denise keeps these secrets in the background. That is just my opinion based on what I read.

I think Denise is playing a role on this show, which is maybe why I haven't warmed up to her.

Kyle is playing the role of " Perfect Housewife, Mother and Friend" representing her "Town of Beverly Hills", what all "housewives" in BH should aspire to. Who wouldn't want what she has, she wants us to believe. Don't anyone even hint that she may have flaws in any of those roles. It's all good though, whenever she is attacked on Social Media, she always has adorable videos of her dogs to post. 

Teddi is playing the "Accountability Housewife". She is just being "real".  It's just so challenging for her to find the balance between being real and being relevant. It's all so confusing. She cannot figure out the rules to this game. It's painful to watch her struggle. Bravo needs to just dismiss her and put her (and the viewers) out of her misery.

Dorit is playing Fabulous Worldly, Wealthy Housewife. She practices her fascinating accents in front of a mirror. Don't even try to serve her wine in a champagne glass. (Also, don't give her a puppy)

Erika Jayne plays the sexy, very expensive, no fucks given non-housewife, until wife of Tom, Erika Girardi (rarely) appears on our screens. Erika Girardi relies on Tom to finance Erika Jayne. It's a complex dual role. Supporting role played by Mikey Minden.

Rinna plays Rinna playing Rinna. She sees herself as the comic relief that we need to sustain us through the darkness of RHOBH. Thank God for her thigh slapping guffaws while glancing off to the side at some unknown entity, perhaps herself in a mirror. Also we should be thanking her for "Owning It!" We just don't quite know what "IT" is.

 "I see her as a character because it's not all of who I am. I'm watching Lisa on the Real Housewives—or Rinna, as I like to call her," the proud mom shared. "She's funny. I get a kick out of her actually. When I watch her, I'm like, ‘God, she's the comic relief.'"

Rinna is the worst. Fuck off, Rinna. Wrap yourself in a duster and fuck off.

 

 

 

[Glee - General Discussion]

I saw Glee Live in Toronto years ago. Unforgettable. I wish that the show had lasted much longer. It was just so great. I just feel so sad about the outcome of some of the cast members. Forever Young comes to mind.

I really appreciate the members of this board who took the time to post cast tributes and wonderful video performances of Naya. Thanks to each of you for sharing and for honouring this beautiful woman.

There's nothing morally wrong with threesomes. There is for sure something morally wrong about a grown ass adult speculating about a child, who hasn't even reached the age of consent having any kind of sex, especially after the judgemental questions about Charlie and prostitutes, implying that they can somehow become more sexually active because of their father's life choices. If I take this train of thought further it goes into rape victim territory. 

 

This is the entire problem with Erika's "joke". It's not about the morality and threesomes. She is sexualizing a child, a minor. If she had made a comment about Denise or Charlie having a threesome, fair game. A little girl of 14, off limits. Way off limits.

I realize that Erika didn't say this directly to Denise but I still want Denise to respond with this, using Erika's response to Eileen:

'Don’t ever talk about my f—ing kid again. Shut the f— up."

I wanna know how those "karens" are gonna react to her post..

I think that there should be a "Rinna" meme.  Someone who stirs up shit and then hides their hands, or someone who makes a stupid joke, slaps their side and laughs uproariously at their own joke.

Come to think of it, I know a few "Rinnas", and they are not invited around anymore.

Of course it will have to be pumpernickel.

I'm thinking wry bread. 

Looks like she is  saying a big FU to QVC as she has been posting support of the Trevor Project on her Instagram. Gee, hope she doesn't get fired for not adhering to the  "muzzling."  threat. That would prove her right. LOL.

What a surprise that would be.

The conspiracy part of me thinks QVC already told her they are parting ways and she got out ahead of the planned announcement so instead of being let go because she's just nasty, her version will be "I was silenced".

Isn't Brandi the impetus for the squabbling the whole back half of the season? Doesn't really make sense Bravo would retcon that now, unless Brandi made racially insensitive remarks to Garcelle.

Or about Garcelle. Not beyond the realm of possibility.

"You're a black person," Glanville said with a laugh, horrifying Giraud and fellow costars Yolanda Foster, Carlton Gebbia, Kyle Richards, Kim Richards and Lisa Vanderpump. "All my black friends cant swim," she continued. "Is that bad?"

Glanville later explained that "it was a joke, and my black friends would have laughed crazy because they don't go in the pool because they will get their weave f--cked up."

 "I know what I said was definitely inappropriate, but I say a lot of inappropriate things. It was definitely not sensitive and I apologize to anyone I offended. But to be honest with you, Andy, my friends joke with each other this way and they're all different backgrounds. So, I'm sorry and I guess you're not ready for the real Brandi? Should I censor myself?"
