Team as in the people in this forum who favor Bethenny as their dog in this fight. I realize there is no “team Bethenny” when it comes to her cast members.

Totally agree. Carole sure has a lot of nerve or is conveniently forgetting that when she talks about how she could handle places like PR because she was a “journalist in a war zone”, THAT WAS MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO. Her and Slurinda filming together in Europe about their deceased husbands who died MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO. Carole’s first season when she talked about the trauma of her best friends dying in a plane crash MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO. Double standard much, Carole?? I’m firmly on Team Bethenny because I hate when grown ass women who can’t control their jealousy, pettiness and hypocrisy get pack mentality to try to take a girl down. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but stay strong B! That bitch Karma will come for the Dream Team, hopefully sooner than later.

Adam IS an asshole, and an ignorant chef as well. It is a myth that freezing food kills bacteria. Freezing foods renders bacteria inactive but doesn’t actually kill anything. That means if your food went into the freezer contaminated, once thawed it will still harbor the same harmful bacteria. Cooking it to the recommended temperature is the only way to ensure that your food is safe. There’s no way I’d eat his food and I bet it’s safe to say he has given at least 1 or 2 guests food poisoning due to his stupidity.

I’m by no means an English major, but isn’t an adjective usually followed by a noun? Asshole, misogynist, age shamer, man-boobed Shane saying Gina “was drunken” explains why he is hesitant to take the bar exam. I highly doubt he has the mental capacity to take one of the toughest bar exams in the country. His small penis big ego couldn’t handle that embarrassment.

I get this vibe that Dorinda fancies herself as a Princess Diana lookalike. I think she heard one comment long ago in the past on how she kinda/vaguely/sorta resembles Diana with her haircut and all and she’s been sticking with it since. I’m sure in her pickled mind she thought, “Whyeshhh, Idoolooli Princshess Di (insert more unintelligible slurred words here) and imjushhasshclasshhy”.

Does Bethenny no longer have her original driver? I think his name was Kevin? Tonight she had a young guy driving her and Sonja to the jean place. Anyone know if Kevin is still with her or is he out?

I never saw her not criticizing him. From the chips he ate, to the wine he didn’t buy enough of, to him drinking tequila, to him not caring for the dog while she was away, to him exercising too much while he was training for the mud run, to him not holding her hand enough while he’s actually holding her hand, to his mother being a bitch, to Lydia being a bitch, to the presents he bought, to the restaurant he took her to...she’s an exhausting complainer. I feel sorry for the pain she’s going through, but she really needs to do a little soul-searching. That marriage ending was a shock to no one. They never should have reconciled after his affair. He hated her and she had disdain for him and blamed him for her hangnail. This, 1000x. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again that I cannot understand the love for Shannon. I’ll take Icky and TamRAH any day over her. Shannon overplays for the camera in everything she does. From her fights with David, her interactions with her kids/Archie, her clockwork indignation at her chosen foe, her high pitched loud old lady voice, etc. etc. Nothing attractive or amusing about her. She was so damn annoying at the Mexico airport thinking she was clever and cute to play out that embarrassing tequila scene. Hate her “gosh, I’ve never done this CRAZY thing I’m about to do” with her fake wide eyed, mouth shaped in an “O” look as she fake fumbles for the shots and a tray. Then standing there with another fake “I’m outside my comfort zone but darn it, I’m ready to whoop it up” Fake fake fake fake fake. Did I mention fake?? I realize we don’t know them but I don’t blame David one bit for wanting out. He was wrong in having an affair, he should have manned up and just asked for a divorce without putting his family through all that on national TV. But I can’t imagine coming home to that narcissistic, screeching mess everyday. Ive been married for almost 30 years and by now, there’s not much either one of us can do to shock the other but I would die before I ever asked my husband to look up my asshole to find a piece of stuck enema. Especially if my marriage was in trouble. Shannon needs a total personality overhaul before she can hope to find and keep another man. Oh, and maybe a more flattering haircut and voice lessons to lower her register.

When I heard Ramona was on Lip Sync Battle I couldn’t wait to get home to watch it. As much as Ramona annoys the heck out of me on Housewives NYC and really has no storyline, I was rolling with laughter watching her performances. I was expecting to be in a fetal position with second hand embarrassment but I have to give it to her for putting herself out there. She didn’t take herself seriously and her inability to lip sync was the funniest part. Chrissy Teigan looked like she loved it. I would have given the win to Ramona for sheer entertainment factor, Melissa Gorga was boring AF.

I know it’s past being snarked about but it still grinds me how Carole never misses a chance to say she “ran” a marathon. She says this in her latest blog “Had I understood that in my 20s, I could have been running the world instead of just a marathon”. Come on, Skeletor, you didn’t “run” the NYC marathon...you WALKED it sprinkled with a few minutes of running-walk. And to say “just a marathon” with her deplorable time of almost 7 hours just demeans those that crush 26 miles in less than 4 hours. I am not a runner and never have been but she is so off in her own special world. Oh, and she could have been running the world in her 20’s? Highly doubtful since she’s shown herself to be a lazy, entitled, bitchy writer girl since she joined this show. Time for Carole to leave the show, I’ll take Bethenny any day.

This. A thousand times. Brilliant post and perfectly sums up Bethenny and Carole’s odd friendship. Love this, Fozzybear!

But Ramona was right and Bethenny pretty much admitted she has few close girlfriends and doesn’t currently have a long term stable relationship from what we can decipher. Was Ramona cruel in telling Bethenny what she said? Yes. Was it the truth? Hell yes!

Never really watched the original cast and show. But I was bored, flipping through Netflix and decided to give it a go. Have to say...I LOVE THESE MEN. I say “these men” instead of “the show” because without all of differences in ethnicity and personality, this show would be a snooze fest. I have to say they all make me laugh, cry and reflect on today’s societal issues. I wish they would do a show where these 5 men would makeover women, their advice is not just for males.

For a few minutes into the second half of the Carole/Bethenny fight at Dorinda’s dinner I was actually starting to see Bethenny’s side. It did seem like Carole took it a little too far by breaching girl code and spilling what Bethenny said about Lu. I kinda agreed with Beth that it freaked her out that she didn’t feel safe anymore with talking and gossiping with her good friend Carole if she goes running to spill their private talks. But that didn’t last long with her behavior from not acknowledging Dorinda on camera for the nutcracker to her feeling the need to call Ramona and attack her. She’s such a hypocrite.

RosieJulieMom, you’re right. I went back and looked it up! Like I said, I learned a new word tonight from Bethenny. Ughhhh

Shism: ˈs(k)izəm/ noun a split or division between strongly opposed sections or parties, caused by differences in opinion or belief. Lol, can’t say I don’t learn anything new from these harpies even when they pronounce the word incorrectly. AND Carole-the-writer didn’t catch it. ?
