Happy Camper

Here's a pic I've never seen before.

Is anyone surprised? She'll be fine. She'll always have Dorinda.

Great synopsis of this episode. Kadooz! Especially reflections on Sonja and Leah. Pathetic. I think that Sonja remaining on the show is a pity thing. She is so broke that her paycheck from RHONY is what keeps her alive. I don't know how much longer we will have to be subjected to her humiliating displays. I woudn't be surprised if she is gone next year and Bethenny's new best friend. Bethenny will be the Welcome Wagon for fired housewives. She has a love hate relationship with Bravo. She hates Ramona and Lu because they saw through her BS and chose not to kiss her SkinnyGirl ass like Dorinda and Sonja. Leah will likely step up her game even further next season. Will be interesting to see the new women and the dynamics. Also wouldn't be shocked if Ramona is on borrowed time.

Yup, and next season she only has Sonja to influence. Wonder how that will work out for Sonja?

According to Deuxmoi, there are 2 separate reports (by insiders) that Crystal Kung Minkoff will be joining the cast. One of the "insiders" claims to be in her friend group. We shall see. http://www.irealhousewives.com/2020/10/crystal-kung-minkoff-is-reportedly.html

I only listened to Heather Thompson's podcast with Carole and enjoyed it because it seemed really honest while at the same time spilled actual tea about RHONY cast. Can't listen to Brandi, Teddi, Heather, Bethenny or Meghan because they I find them irritating. Maybe someone who has listened to them can respond on the media thread. I plan to check out Lisa Vanderpump's. I can say that my favorite tea about housewives is Sharrell's World on Youtube.

According to Bethenny's definition of "humble bragging" (which is incorrect) Isn't this "humble bragging?"

By Erika Jayne standards how would that work? Just don't wear 'em?

I didn't listen to the podcast but did catch this snippet: https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1195151/dorinda-medley-opens-up-about-her-rhony-exit-for-the-first-time Dorinda mentions that prior to Bethenny quitting, she was hoping that this season she and Bethenny would be the "Powerful Couple." I have no doubt that means that they would be teaming up against Tinsley. When Bethenny left, she was definitely coaching Dorinda to go after Tinsley for several reasons. She hates Tinsley. She wanted to be indirectly in control of the season's narrative. She can't stand not being involved. Meanwhile pretending like she was above it all and supposedly not watching. You can bet she was curled up in her pajamas with her skinnygirl popcorn and skinnygirl vodka every Thursday night, 9 pm sharp. Probably texting with Dorinda like mad, chuckling like a fiend and sending her high five emojis. Last week, Bethenny was high as a kite (manic) in the media and on social media bragging about her podcast being in the top ten on podcasts charts , even "beating" Hilary Clinton. What she didn't realize, or maybe her assistants didn't let on to her, was that many new podcasts by anyone with a name jump to the top ten because of new subscribers, then drop off quickly into oblivion. She's now dropped down to # 32 and will soon disappear, even after having guest Paris Hilton and I expect Andy Cohen soon. @HunterHunted You are correct that she has become desperate to remain relevant now that her new show has been postponed due to Covid. The likes and responses on her Twitter have been very minimal, between 20-30 something likes and a handful of comments. She's mostly retweeting props from her fans. We can likely expect her to tweet out something controversial real soon to draw attention to herself. I feel sorry for her assistants as I'm sure that she just sends them endless texts saying "DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO BUT MAKE ME HAPPEN!!!!" I doubt that the "food dispute" show that she was pushing will ever be mentioned again. If by chance it does, it will tank faster than the time it took me to post this. I wish the "Secrets Revealed" episode had included Ramona having accidentally discovered and revealed texts between Dorinda and Bethenny. Now that would have been worth watching. 🤦‍♀️

Almond Joy? I wouldn't be surprised if they named her Hadid. Hadid Hadid.

This is just about as bad as Brandi's comment about Joanna Krupa. What a bitch Elyse is.

I think another example of this would be her trying to make this ridiculous "Food Court" show happen. I'm sure that when she discussed this with people most responded with something like, "nope, don't think so Bethenny, time to go back to the drawing board." Except for her peons who smiled, nodded their heads enthusiastcally, then turned away and rolled their eyes. I noticed that when she posted this show on Instagram, most comments were "No, Bethenny, horrible idea", even her fans hated it. Soon afterward she deleted the post. She says that filming for TheBigShotWithBethenny begins in October. You know that it will have to be scripted Her Way. It will be interesting to see how that turns out for her and her big head.

Or it could be that Paul is not interested in getting engaged or married anytime soon. It's been 2 years. As long as Bethenny isn't divorced, no one can question why he hasn't put a ring on it. Very suspect that Bethenny didn't mention that Dennis gave her an engagement ring until after he was dead. Don't believe that story for a second.

I guess it's normal to have your kids tell your boss that you deserve a raise.

"While 13-year-old Jake was at school when they recorded the podcast, Brandi posted a video of what he would have asked Andy to her Instagram Story. Though it's since expired, you can watch it above. "I was wondering if you would do the right thing and give my mom her job back like you said you would," he said. "Because she was like the main focus of the whole season and like get her money back so we can move out of this place and get her what she deserves." Those videos of her sons make me cringe like I never have before. Brandi has really sunk to the lowest of the low, using her two boys to try and weasel her way back to RHOBH. Looks like she is telling them that if Andy hires her back they can "move out of that place?" How bad can that place be? Those kids are done for. Maybe they should move out of 'that place' and in with their father. There is absolutely no way that Bravo will hire her back after exploiting her children in this way. It's just disgusting. I'd like to hear Kyle's response to this, but of course she won't because it doesn't fit her Brandi narrative.

Not yet. Likely won't be long before she takes her to an appointment and asks the cosmetic surgeon "Can you please make my daughter look a little less Hoppy?"

Apparently Kyle and Producer Chris Cullen go back a loooong way. This is the guy that keeps calling out Denise, but no one else. Why did he not run after Kyle everytime she ran away from the cameras and insist that she go back and face the other women? He was also the producer present when Kyle had the cameras wait for Kim when she went into the limo. Who's the real manipulator/sniper from the side? Hint: Not LVP.

You just summed up Bethenny Frankel. In 10 words. Well Done.

Bethenny is trying to be Cool Mom who just indulges Bryn in doing whatever she wants (You play that ukelele wherever you please; no, the seatbelt isn't really important; nope, no need for the lifejacket cos it hides your cute new swimsuit; of course the sports bra is fine to wear to school; go ahead and grab my boobs, our fans will love it) Added bonus: Get Jason heated up and look like the uncool dad who probably has rules. "Daddy is just so uncool, but Mommy has money and she's the fun one." This will backfire soon enough when Bryn doesn't conform to SkinnyGirl's rules and regulations. She will definitely rebel and of course Bethenny will feel betrayed. A few years from now. "How could Bryn do this to me? I gave her EVERYTHING!" Bethenny. Somewhere in the Hamptons. Tortured once again. Sobbing into a freezer. Oh yes, and Paul will be the asshole. For whatever reason he eventually will break up with her.

You are right. I didn't notice until I watched the video again. At first I thought they were just sitting in a parked car, but they are moving. 🤨

They are and I feel so sorry for them. I can't imagine being in high school and being the sons of Brandi G. Oh, the shame.

Well, it's not too difficult to find the posts of Brandi's sons telling Andy that he needs to hire their mom back on the show and also to compensate her for being the star of this past season because they believe that she carried this season. So they are well aware of what she is spewing out there. She is not fit to be their mother. It's sick and she is just horrid. Eddie needs to step in and grab those boys before they are more fucked up than they already are.

Yup. The OFFLOAD is what that was.

Dorinda has a new career.

No preferencial treatment here. Four years ago.
