Tinsley's really grown on me. I really liked her in Columbia, especially on the boat trip. I would want her around in a scary situation, she would calm me, unlike the rest of the screeching gibbons. I found her sunny and easy-going throughout.

Omg! TOTALLY! I was embarrassed.

Her hug is way bigger than his. His is the equivalent of a 'there, there' sympathy pat on the back. His arms aren't even around her, only his elbows are bent. Maybe he was too tired to lift them? after working for days on her trophy?

I just don't believe all that animosity was just because Adam dated her niece. There HAD to have been more to it than that. I bet Adam flirted with Lu first, that he made his sexy coffee eyes at her and she thought she stood a chance, and maybe she did with that opportunist, until ole Carole showed up and stole that sloppy "salad chef" right out from under her.

Not to mention the huge volume of historical and religious references you have to learn and master. Art history is not an easy subject to major in...however, what you do with it...I don't know, aside from working in a gallery or museum or auction house I guess...or maybe writing about art or acquiring it for collectors or collecting yourself...I'm just not sure about making a great living doing it. Although that wouldn't matter to our little socialite Tinz, who only really wants to be wifey. Well, Rich wifey, Adams need not apply. Actually, come to think of it, if I was a socialite with family money, I would LOVE to have been able to major in art history. Came close by majoring in Advertising, Lol.

I just remembered something really vicious Lu pulled on Ramoner. She had a front row seat to the psychic telling Ramoner that Mario was cheating...they got divorced months later. I think Lu actually found that psychic and set that whole thing up. On camera. It's pretty amazing how evil they are to each other.

Maybe in keeping with Ramona's style, she ratted lu out to the count and the kids...

Can't stand that Ramona calls her LuMan. What did Lu ever do to Ramona really? however, even as I just defended Lu, I always thought she was just beastly to Alex. I can't forget the lunch they had together after Morocco, when Alex attempted to tell her off or at least clear the air...Lu sliced and diced her in 2 seconds. It wasn't even a close fight, she had no respect for Alex, and showed it... however...I never liked Alex. lol. I find myself flip-flopping on all of them so often. I guess that's what makes the show compelling. I just like a fair fight. I don't like when they hit below the belt-I remember the comment lu made to Carole about her not having children, then laughed in her face about it...so incredibly cruel, there was real pain that flashed in Carole's eyes. I was disgusted when Bethenny went after lu with such viciousness at Dorinda's a couple seasons ago, I also remember Ramona's hits to Bethenny last season at Dorinda's, totally nasty and disproportionate...they all win me and then lose me and then win me every year. It's a ramonacoaster with all of them at one time or another.

Love this. Very astute notice of Bethenny trying to round up some allies before reunion. Never noticed before, but now seems so obvious. Well played, indeed! It does feel that Ramoner has a launch party for something at almost every finale party, though, doesn't it? Whatever happened to Pinot Ramoner?

Ha! I caught that too and lol-ed! Ramoner. She has a signature color and a signature flower. something about her makes me think she always looks dated. Even her little black dress at Carole's thing looked dated. All of her reunion looks have a Mother-of-the-bride look to me and nothing she ever wears really looks expensive, just too shiny. She's the worst dressed out of the ny-ers to me.

I thought that was strange too, but as someone put it out there, maybe they planned to discuss this so that Tinz could get her narrative out there? Who knows? In any case, Carole didn’t look good doing it.

Don’t all refrigerators make ice now? Is an ice maker that much of a ‘get’?

Ramoner used all of it to her advantage. My argument is not what Lu’s kid did, OF COURSE her kid was a dumbass. It’s obvious to everyone that what she said was wrong, does that really need to be prefaced, it’s what RAMONER did, why she jumped on it. Opportunity to drive a steak through Luann. She exploited and used an ugly incident to go after her supposed friend, she didn’t get involved to educate or teach or help. SHE EXPLOITED IT. That’s noble Ramoner for ya, bastion of human rights and cultural sensitivity.

If the only concrete complaint Lu has is lack of flowers, she’s showing that her opinion is based off of a simple pure dislike of Ramoner. It was small and petty and made Lu look small and petty herself. She should have just not said anything...

Lu probably can’t get past the time Ramoner jumped on an embarrassing moment that Lu’s daughter had via Twitter. Her kid was a minor then and said some stupid things and Ramoner was all over that shit alerting the world to it. If someone ever comes after my kid, especially so publicly, they’re dead to me forever. (I’m still hurt that my dad called my son ‘funny-looking’ when he was just born. I kid I kid, but not about what Ramoner did to Lu.)

I don’t think she’s that deep herself. I know she calls herself a journalist but she’s been out of the business for over 20 years. I know she wrote a book but so did a gaggle of others. Sure she’s smart enough to operate in NY, but so is Tinsley. I just don’t think Carole is all that, and certainly no better than the rest of them. I will also bet that Tinsley will be demoted to ‘friend of’ sooner or later. Sooner if she doesn’t close the deal with her wallet, I mean boyfriend.

I also think HE dumped HER... or made her dump him by having sexy salad time with other people. She’s the scorned one. He was being magnanimous by saying they should get together. She’s still salty.

I think she SAYS she won’t drop her price for the cameras, but in private, all bets are off and she’ll negotiate. Sonja is most definitely for sale. Or if she won’t drop the price, she will eventually, or she’ll learn that she can’t get rented. The market always gets its price.

I'm pretty sure it's true. No one would rent that Hamptons house all year round, only during the summer, and she probably wants some summer time in it herself. Not sure about not paying taxes on it though....maybe it not being classified as a rental property, she doesn't have to?

Yes, I agree with you. I also don't think they are all done at one time.

WOW-ZA! Best one yet. wish I wrote it.

I hate it too. It's weird, like a restaurant with side-by-side seating. Pick a lane.

Totally over done, over the top. Calm down Bethenny, not that shocking, amazing or scandalous that the guy said they brush the denim in a certain direction on the crotch. Close that over-red lipstick and thousand-watt grinning mouth. That's "too much"-tm Carole Radz. I got uncomfortable at the level of emotion/excitement over something not that crazy.

I bet she's putting it out there that she wants an endorsement deal A LA Lisa Rhinna. Rhinna said they paid her a lot and that's Sonja's language...

I think it's safe to say that no one really knows how these shows are put together, and also, I bet there isn't a rule that hasn't been broken. I think depending on the show, depending on the housewife, depending on the situation, they produce as they go, to make a great story, or as much as they can make it great. There are also different production companies that they use, and I bet different editors as well.
