Happy Camper

I guess I'm aging myself. I grew up with the 1960's Dorit Doll.

I have never in my lifetime used the word "appalled". Ever. Thanks, Kyle, Erika, Diana, and Rinna for giving me a reason. I'm just sickened by the hypocrisy and outlandish defensiveness of people's behaviour this season. Not a fan of Stranger Things but this is the epitome of the Upside Down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haERgIplzUk&ab_channel=Bravo Best part.... fast forward to 10:13 in this video. Now cut to this scene: https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/3367887/rhobh-dorit-kemsley-son-jagger-erika-jayne-fraud/ Surprised Erika didn't tell Jagger to "Get the fuck out of here".

Great news for those who can't get enough of Bethenny on TV. Gotta give the girl credit. No matter how many failed shows, she will not give up. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce7HA2YAnKn/ https://twitter.com/kevinolearytv/status/1537833485280415746?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet Kevin O'Leary's second season of his hit show "Money Court". According to IMDB the first season aired a whopping four episodes and the only review was this: "How this show ever made it on CNBC is beyond belief. Take it behind the barn and shoot it".

I didn't see any birds today. But I did see the Toronto Blue Jays lose to the New York Yankees. I think it was a sign. It was Lois telling Rinna that she is on a losing team. I hope Rinna is paying attention to this obvious bird sign.

Maybe because anything she writes is just these: plat·i·tude /ˈpladəˌt(y)o͞od/ Learn to pronounce noun plural noun: platitudes a remark or statement, especially one with a moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful. "he masks his disdain for her with platitudes about how she should believe in herself more"

I'm surprised she had time for that. She's very busy promoting drug store beauty products on tik tok and twitter. Now she can add "Influencer" to her CV next to "Royalty".

This is too ironic now that she has been trying to distance herself from reality tv. How does she get crowned when her *unscripted* The Big Shot with Bethenny was a huge fail? On her instagram she is boasting to a limo driver that she is Reality Royalty and he clearly has no idea who the heck she is. If her podcast is aiming at representing "a shift in the conversation for women" I certainly don't want to be part of that shift. A few of the latest podcast topics: Douchebag Geography: If you're looking to avoid a**holes this summer, you're welcome! Bethenny gives her guide to where the major douchebags will be hanging out this summer, so you can avoid them. B's BTS: Bethenny was on mic ranting about her daughter Bryn… until Bryn interrupted with a tween emergency. We kept recording and you’re about to hear what happened next! Pandemic Divorces and an Unanswerable Question: Bethenny shares the surprising way the pandemic affected her divorce— for better and for worse. Bethenny’s take may bring you the answers you desperately need. Will Bethenny return to the RHONY?: Bethenny reveals her decision... Is she coming back to RHONY? Plane Pain: If you have a travel credit, you need to hear Bethenny’s story or you could end up very disappointed. Don’t let what happened to her happen to you! If that's not enough to "highlight the strength, confidence and unstoppable power that women have", here's this gem: Smells like Tween Attitude: In that time after school and before dinner, tweens turn into moody monsters. Why does it have to be like this— and who knows a good exorcist? Bethenny is ready to vent and commiserate with fellow parents of tweens. Of course to her credit, she is "Intermingling her own stories with conversations with thought leaders and cultural all-stars" like Sarma (Bad Vegan), Justin Baldone, Sophia Amaruso and Colton Underwood. She also has lots to say about Johnny and Amber, Douchella, plastic surgery, Kim K, Pete Davidson and housewives reunions. If that isn't empowering enough, she is really good at telling you what makeup to buy (or not to buy)

Meanwhile, back in New York, Aviva is looking for her missing leg.

I think that marrying a person after only a few weeks of knowing them is fine if you don't have children. Bringing a virtual stranger into the lives of your kids is so irresponsible. She has no idea how he will interact with them and the poor kids don't even know this guy. She is a very selfish woman.

True, but nothing he said comes to mind as horrid as a false allegation of physical assault.

Zayn has pleaded no contest to harassing Gigi and Yolanda. Drug issues. He's an asshole. No doubt. There has always definitely been something "off" about Yolanda. Racist behaviour, falsely accusing Ken of assault, food issues with her daughters, worried that Gigi might be a lesbian or look "Chinese." Gigi chose to have a child with Zayn in the midst of an on again, off again relationship. I also suspect that she may be influenced too much by her mother. Mohamed is a very sketchy person. Anwar and Bella (the two who Yolanda claimed have Lyme Disease, but seemingly no negative symptoms) seem to be doing okay. I hope that Gigi is able to protect Khai from Zayn and from Yolanda.

You can bet she will be pregnant soon. Best of luck to her nannies.

My prediction. She will be pregnant soon. I don't quite know how this marriage is going to work. He lives and works in LA. Her kids and family are deeply rooted in Missouri. He's a forty year old guy who has never had kids. Can't imagine how he is going to adjust to a bunch of little ones running around. Meghan's kids are cute but I can see they are a lot. This guy was stupid to do the wedding thing so quickly but if she ends up pregnant within the next month he is a complete fool. She just likes to attach herself to a NAME. I guess his mother never told him "When you see crazy coming you cross the street".

Here's the quote from the book: Frankel's exit from the show was also a talking point in the book, with (Executive Producer Lisa) Shannon saying Bethenny "wanted to be paid more" and Bravo not budging. "There was a very specific thing Bethenny wanted in her contract that Bravo refused to give on and I knew they weren't going to give her. And that's why she left," added Andy. "I was disappointed, but I wasn't surprised. And I'm glad Bravo didn't cave on the contract. It would've set a bad precedent." https://toofab.com/2021/10/19/rhony-bethenny-frankel-luann-de-lesseps-tom-dagostino/

This is what she cannot accept. She still insists on Bethenny made it on her own because she is brilliant. She can't get past that she is "former New York Housewife Bethenny Frankel" The problem is that she is trying to make Bethenny a major TV personality outside of housewives and it 's never going to happen. She will never be anything but former New York Housewife.

Who could possibly be stupid enough to invest in a new Bethenny show except for Bethenny herself? The reviews were scathing. All you have to do is google "big shot with bethenny reviews". This woman who "knows it all" predicts: "It won’t fail," she declares. "There was a moment in the beginning because of the pandemic, and because of certain things that I was worried for one second, and I almost delayed it. I don’t do it if it’s not going to be done well. I have done this for a long time, and I have produced other shows — this is the biggest show with the biggest budget, with the biggest partners and the greatest streamer, so stakes are very high, but it’s too good a show. It’s too big to fail." She can't bring herself to eat her own words even if they're saturated in SkinnyGirl salad dressing because she is suddenly vegan and cannot consume a nothingburger. To anyone who is willing to front another "Look at Me, I'm Bethenny" Show, please contact me. I have some swampland in Florida and a bridge from New York to the British Isles to sell you. But wait! She does have this brilliant concept: Bethenny: "People always say get out of your own head — it’s not entirely true. Reality television is the highlights. Something’s a sound bite. Something’s a takeaway. Something’s entertaining. I know what people want to see. I know what people want to drink. I understand what people think is entertaining". She claims that she didn't want to be "shackled" to Mark Burnett? I suspect that "know it all" Bethenny didn't want to take advice from MGM to help her show succeed. The problem is that she had the chance to make a good show, because she does have her fans, but she has to do it all her way. She had to make herself the focus. She couldn't make it about the contestants and their lives. It wasn't about anyone's "big shot". It was about Bethenny. This just about says it all about Bethenny's attempts at her own TV show. https://jezebel.com/im-not-buying-what-the-big-shot-with-bethenny-frankel-w-1846955876 Good Luck to her with a future project.

I'll bring pretzels and a nice Cab Sauv.

She is tweeting that she has a new show coming soon but "that's a big secret". How many fails will she have before she gives it up? So embarrassing.

I posted this in the Bethenny thread but also belongs here. Erika's attorney slams Bethenny regarding her comments. https://pagesix.com/2021/09/17/erika-jayne-attorney-says-bethenny-frankel-is-trying-to-throw-dirt/ Also, just a thought: We could sure use Kinglsey's trainer to work with Erika.

Erika's lawyer speaks up about Bethenny. https://pagesix.com/2021/09/17/erika-jayne-attorney-says-bethenny-frankel-is-trying-to-throw-dirt/

I can't figure out if the number of car flips outnumbers Erika's story flips. I just can't keep up with all the flips. I just saw a pig fly by my window. Thanks to PK.

https://twitter.com/Bethenny/status/1438616771678949384 Bethenny has a good rapport with Erika and respects her work ethic.

Because she is desperate to make herself relevant. Nobody is talking about her since her latest failed Big Shot show. She's just trying to put herself back in the spotlight again. It will last a minute and then back to midnight slots on HSN selling whatever next Skinnygirl crap she slaps her brand name on and the occasional Fox News appearance to quench her thirst to have a camera on her. Pathetic. ETA: Now she is defending Erika. Bethenny Frankel@Bethenny This convo was on the pitfalls of showing wealth, the terms of being canceled & how truth takes time to surface,re: her ex,who mine knew well. I have a good rapport w@erikajayne & respect her work ethic. The pod wasn’t about her as I don’t speak on what I don’t know @justbpodcast Funny, she doesn't speak on what she doesn't know but tweets about Meghan Markle. Shut the fuck up Bethenny.

So have I. This was my last excuse: "Toms house was broken into and he confronted the burglar and then had to go have eye surgery and then my son had to go over to help and then he rolled his car five times on the way home, so yeah I'm under a lot of stress.”
