    I don't know what to think about Jason & Bethenny.  I'd love to know the truth.  As far as the judge getting the whole truth, well, the truth can get skewed even when under oath.  I have a cousin who was going through a divorce a few years ago.  His soon to be ex-wife lied through her teeth before the judge and waged extreme accusations against him.  The judge bought it, hook, line, and sinker.  I'm not implying that Bethenny lied, but there could've been some embellishment from either side, and if you throw in a few tears,  that can be pretty persuasive. 

    No one can be sure about what is going on between them. We can all speculate. Divorce is ugly and each party wants everyone else to believe that they are so hard done by. Bethenny fans are going to believe her and Bethenny non fans (like me) would prefer to see her ugly side and hope that Jason isn't the monster that she makes him out to be.

    I know from experience that people can say, very convincingly, whatever they want in the midst of divorce and people will choose sides accordingly. 

    I can accept that Beth has her fans. Not going to change their minds. They are not going to change mine.

    That's what makes these boards interesting.

    All the thumbs up in the world to not enough middle fingers in the world. Bethenny is a psycho. 

    FFS, she went from being consoled by Luann to immediately eviscerating her with Carole cackling and gossiping. I have no respect for that. 

    If he called her Bernadette the context was most definitely him driving home the point that she's turning into everything Bethenny hates about her mother. 

       Bethenny gets a high off of possession, something to acquire, a deal, an advantage, to control instead of being controlled. Treating Brynn that way will be something she regrets. 

    Such succinct summation of Bethenny. There is nothing more emotionally draining than a person like her, who has suffered the most horrendous life that no one could even imagine. For Pete's sake, Bethenny, look at the world around you and try to put things into perspective. I can't say for sure what bullshit that Jason is up to, but he has a good relationship with his parents. Bethenny  is not demonstrating a very stable personality. Is there any evidence of her maintaining one single healthy positive relationship in her life?

    Like, 31 LARGE tubs?  LOL.  I thought I had a lot.  That's a whole wall o' tubs. 

    I have a wall of Christmas tubs. Every December my husband curses me when he has to bring them all from the basement, then down again in January. Takes me 2 days to decorate. No one is allowed to help. They would screw it up. They would definitely put everything in the wrong place and then I would have to wait until they leave to fix it all.

    I'm so sorry for what you've been through.

    This 'is' my problem with Bethenny Frankel.  According to Beth, and as can be seen in the clip posted above, she continually says she's been through 'hell'.  Hell.  She says it twice and she has said it on numerous occasions.  She also has referred to her divorce as torture.  Bethenny Frankel hasn't a clue as to what 'real' hell is.  You do. 

    She just doesn't get what it's all about.  Divorce sucks.  Shared custody sucks.  It's not hell.  Your child being seriously injured or sick is 'hell'.  Being a victim of a heinous crime is 'hell' - whether it be rape or continued domestic abuse and you don't have the resources to get out.  I could go on.  How about that child who was kept in a closet for years.  Or the the kids that were kept in cages.  Or let's talk about Elizabeth Smart.   Beth thrives on being poor 'Bethenny'.  I've never seen a person who is so sorry for herself, from her parents to her ex husband.  Yeah, the richest homeless person in NY staying at five star hotels....with a house in the Hamptons.  Cry me a river.

    Thanks, Breezy. Honestly, when I was going through the shit with my son, I just learned to get through one day at a time. That is when I became somewhat desensitized to chronic complainers. Oh, the bullcrap you overhear in the hospital corridors. 

    I get that Bethenny was feeling victimized by Jason. An awful situation. When I went through my divorce I experienced something similar, not by my wasbund but by his girlfriend who stalked me online and in real life and made my life (and my kids) very uncomfortable. All ( I believe) because she felt very insecure and wanted me to look like the bad guy when I had left my ex because he was having an affair with her.  (Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I was sitting in the corner, eating crackers) 

    In my opinion, Bethenny exaggerates. Homeless (hotels!!), raised by wolves, bleeding to death, lost at sea, divorce from hell.  God help her if she has to go through a life or death situation.

    Well, I have no desire to watch Fredrik or Beth flip high end houses or apartments.  I've grown a bit tired of Fredrik and I have no desire to watch Beth put 'her' design skills to work on a flip.  I've never loved any of Beth's places, starting with the UES and downtown (the Tribeca apartment was OK but I wasn't wowed and her current place...meh. Her bedroom looks like it's in a basement with those windows and the rest of the place is just sterile to me).  Add to that the Hamptons house.  And I have no doubt that part of the contract is to work Skinnygirl in somewhere, whether it be behind the bar, in the kitchen or served at an open house.

    If I had to choose a NY housewife to put a design touch on my house, it would be Lu.  I have a love/hate with her but I've always loved her homes, starting with the rented brownstone.  Perfectly decorated for what it was...traditional.  Then there was her first house in the Hamptons.  Yeah, I could live there.  And now there's her second home.  It has warmth but is cool at the same time.

    On another note, I think some of these new Bravo shows are kind of desperate and trying too hard.  Shep is going city to city to find his dream girl?  Not interested.  Ryan's show could be a little interesting - at least it's more of an interesting concept.  The only thing that I would be happy about is if Beth gave up RHNY for her new show.  Well, it's not 'her' new show.  It's her and Fredrik.  At least Bravo has figured out that Bethenny Frankel can't carry a show on her own.  Big ouch.  But Beth also came back to RHNY which she said she never do.  Girl just needs a spotlight any way she can get it.

    I wonder if that is why she hasn't been able to sell her place. Apparently the $5.25 price that Bethenny and Fredrik  both came up with isn't quite the magic number that they thought it was. It's been reduced to $4.995.

    Next week sneak peak

    Okay Dorinda needs to tell us the truth.

    Dorinda said this year - she and John have been together for 3 years. Ramona in her evening out with Kathleen & Missy said Dorinda has been with John for 3 years and it's not moving towards anything more serious. This season she went to Richard's graveside on the 5th anniversary of his passing. In this video she says she's been with John for 4 1/2 years. Huh...

    Bethenny is beyond. So she is basically saying she is doomed for life.

    Poor little Bryn. She will never be ok.

    I went through an entirely rotten divorce, my son being in a terrible car crash, traumatic brain injury and coma (he's ok now)  and other shit that life throws at you. I never once decided that I would never would be okay for the rest of my life. 

    You endure.

  7. Ok, maybe a little nitpicky here. The flowers that were delivered to  Dorinda's home in the Berkshires from Dennis ( ala Vicki from Steve RHOC)  were delivered to "Bethany", not Bethenny.  

    I have a name that could begin with an S or a C.  If I were to receive flowers from my husband with my name spelled incorrectly, I would surely be not feeling so special to him.

  8. I haven't read all of the replies so forgive me if this has already been commented on. During the conversation between Ramona and Carole, Ramona reports that some woman says that Tom stuck his tongue down her throat (um, hearsay), then Carole says something like "you mean, Trumplike"?) and Ramona responds as if Trump would never do anything like that because he is a "germaphobe"? Rolls her eyes at that suggestion. Cause, you know, Trump would never so anything like that.

    She totally believes this other woman's comments regarding Tom, but completely disregards the fact that Trump may display the same behaviour?  What a nut.

    Is this the same woman who made it clear that her separation from Mario was completely off limits for discussion?

    Luann needs to completely disengage from this jerk, just like Bethenny has.

     This argument doesn't really work because asking Carole to say these things isnt Bethenny sharing her life, it's essentially a public relations move.  It wasn't contrived because the details were specific but rather bc the topic is seemingly off-limits for organic discussion,  rightfully so imo. 

    I haven't complained about her hiding her life but I would imagine those that have are referring to her keeping boyfriends off screen (/pretending to be single season 7) while going hard on the other women's relationships. Makes sense.

     For me, pointing the carole scene out isn't a knock to Bethenny so much as these housewife chess moves are the most interesting to discuss. *Kanye shrug*

    I would have loved for Carole to ask more questions about Dennis. For instance when is his divorce going to happen? Why is there not much conversation about Dennis? Last season I seem to remember Bethenny saying something about him wanting to marry her? (or maybe I am remembering wrong?) At least it seemed to be a serious thing.

    I realize that they are not together now, but when they were filming this season they were a couple.

  10. Ok...I am really throwing myself out there but I would definitely have bid on a night in the Berkshires with Dorinda. Just because I know she would make it nice. 

    And her home is amazing.

    And all the tea that she would spill.

    I would definitely bedave myself just for that one night.

  11. I don't get Ramona. She comments that Lu has her head in the sand about Tom and other women. 

    It is hard for me to believe that Ramona didn't suspect that Mario had other women on the side and chose to ignore it until she was forced to acknowledge it for whatever reason (he was leaving her?) 

    I am remembering the woman in Morocco that told Ramona that Mario was cheating.  Ramona was so upset with Lu for commenting on it.

    Can't she just say to Lu..."Hey, I don't want to see you make the same mistake that I did?"

    But then she would have to admit that she let Mario get away with the same behavior.

    So we agree that Tom and John are assholes? Cool.

    I can't seem to find one single housewife who hasn't been an asshole once or twice. 

    Come to think of it, I don't know anyone at all who hasn't been an asshole once or twice.

    I personally think he looks like fun too.  Don't want anyone being grabby but he looks like he tries to be light and fun until he's not but who doesn't have their breaking point.  I am not fond of sweaty but I am fond of a larger guy (tall and a bit beefy).  

    I don't get all of the John/Tom hate.  Yes, according to what we see or what is reported, they have been or could have been jerks.

    Sure, they have demonstrated icky behavior that makes them look ridiculous.

    Yet, is there any housewife that has not appeared as a jerk? I'd like to know. 

    Sonya, so many examples, don't know where to begin. Please stop bending over.

    Ramona at the bar, any bar.... just ew.

    Bethenny, making people hold up her wedding dress so she can pee in a bucket...cringe. Pretending to be lost at sea. Hmm. Ok.

    Luanne with the pirate. Insisting that the limo driver address her as Countess. 

    Carole.  See her twitter.

    I really have to wonder....if we had seen more of Dennis, I mean really had the cameras on him...likely would have seen lots to snark on...no doubt. We were robbed.

    Warning:  John's Facebook page is a rabbit hole.  Gorgeous summer pics of Dorinda's place in the Berks.  I don't think we've seen it in the summer. The pool area is sublime. 

    I just checked out his instagram and the pics of John and Dorinda looking so contented and happy together are cute. 

    Then I popped in to Adam's instagram with pages of vegetables garnished with flowers. Meh.
