Maybe the "lame" hotels are the only ones willing to be part of the show as the nicer ones want no part of Andy and his dysfunctional "team" of women., ha ha.

Thank you, GreatKazu

Thank you Lura....I very much appreciate your post

A truly "recovering" alcoholic should be able to be around others who are drinking and not drink herself.....I am a recovering alcoholic, and have doing this myself for years....and I say "recovering" because it is an ongoing process....there is no"cure"....only abstinence.

I am not seeing them either

I doubt the schizophrenic diagnosis as well.... I vote for a personality disorder such as borderline personality disorder.

She is definitely something....I would love to hear what a mental health professional had to say about her.....and not someone they found for the show. I think she would make quite a textbook study.

In my own experience alcohol alone can make one VERY aggressive, but I suppose she had also taken her own mixture of substances

I wonder how long this guy will stick around after he has seen bethenny in "action" ....hope he has a strong ego and is one who can put bethenny in her place.

Bethenny is a big girl now....she needs to stop blaming others and learn to control her behavior. So, she had a rotten childhood....it is time to let IT go...Imo, she is just so self-centered that the more she can "milk" her situation, the better.

I love your word "hillbillies" to describe these people....so appropriate. Imo

Ah.....so very true!

There do seem to be quite a few Blanche Dubois's on this show.

I too like playing armchair therapist......and there certainly is a whole lot of material to work with. I agree, Bethenny does seem to "warm up" when she is with Bryn, although, I just wonder how she will survive being bethenny's daughter.lol

It is ......I lost my breath laughing

I am not sure the mother mode of these two would do a thing for their images...they are both so self-centered, and I think it would make them appear to be NOT fit for motherhood

Bethenny "specializes" in bitchy, and I don't think Carol is the least bit attractive.

I don't think she will ever be sober either.....this has become such a way of life for her that I don't think she could live any other way. She has much too much pain to deal with. I have been surprised that she has lived this long.....I have expected to hear of her death for some time. Welcome...good to have you here.

I am thinking that all her involvement with drugs and alcohol is her "method" of suicide.....although a slow one....it will eventually take her to where she wants to be. Just my opinion, of course.

I have a theory that Kim may identify with kingsly in that as a breed pit bulls are looked at as "outcasts" of the dog world,imo, and Kim may view herself as an outcast....just never being very happy and unable to adjust to the world around her. Just a thought based on my own struggles with alcohol.

I used to donate to Best Friends....I so hope they might come through.....this is so heartbreaking.

Well, maintaining health insurance would certainly lessen the amount of money she would have for her "recreational" endeavors.

I agree. I am a recovering alcohol Maybe she could do some dog food commercials

Yep, that was a most satisfying exchange

I had forgotten about that...thanks, and I had written off Kelly as a bit out of touch
