Didn't Dorit already try and fail at fashion? Beverly Beach swimwear and her bridal gown collaboration really didn't go anywhere except for a few lawsuits for Beverly Beach that were either dismissed or settled somehow out of court. I think the bridal gown collaboration was a one shot deal, more for the free advertising the parent company received on the show, than for them wanting Dorit's actual ideas for designs. I know Dorit was involved somehow in the fashion industry before marrying PK, so maybe she could go back to it, but I think she has a much higher opinion of herself now than she may have had then, so working for someone else, or starting over may be beneath her, in her mind. Plus, Dorit's quite a bit older than she was 10-15 years ago. I think, unfortunately, that could work against her. It's sad that ageism still exists, but it's a fact - especially since she's technically been out of the business for that time and would be going up against younger, more career focused, more driven candidates with a fresher view and outlook on fashion than just showing up everywhere dressed in head-to-toe logo'd apparel and thinking that's fashion. Hey - maybe she could become a walking billboard? She doesn't mind having business logos being plastered all over her body!

Or, maybe Dorit really is just a sloppy person and doesn't have the same staff of housekeepers cleaning up after her. I think the boxes and empty clothes racks are just as @Baltimore Betty said upthread - she's packing things up to sell on Poshmark or some other re-sell websites, or, she's returning stuff to vendors or stores that "loaned"* those pieces to her to wear while filming. *I use the term "loaned" loosely here. Dorit may be another one of those people who purchase something, tuck the tags inside the garment and return it after she's worn it for a refund.

She'll need to get in line behind Erika for that guy....the hearing problem is a must-do in this for both of them. Dorit, because she talks so, so, so much and Erika, because who wants to listen to her off-key caterwauling like a cat on a fence in the middle of the night! 🤣

I don't like or dislike Jennifer Tilly, but I do find her kind of kooky and eccentric. I don't know if that's just an act or if she is like that in real life, but she seems kind of weird to me. I think that Jennifer being on the show as she is now, as a "friend of" is perfect. She's there when needed for certain things, but she also provides some cute and very funny commentary in her talking head interviews and while filming. She was absolutely hilarious at Boz's spa day thing when she was speaking with the massage guys. And, previews for whatever trip they're taking also showed some really funny one-liners from Jennifer. I don't know if I would enjoy seeing more of her eccentric ways as a full time housewife, though. So, yeah, to me, she's fine to stay, as a friend of. Hell, I'd take her over Kathy Hilton any day! This would not surprise me in the least. I think Dorit is gettng desperate and grasping for a lifeline, or anything to keep her job, considering that it may turn out to be her only source of income soon. I don't think that Dorit is getting the same sympathy for the downfall of her marriage that Kyle received when she and Mauricio split, and it's really bothering her.

I actually thought that Garcelle was asking about alcohol in that watermelon drink because she wanted an alcoholic beverage - not questioning Sutton's drinking. As far as that purse thing - it was very, very creepy-strange to me. Dorit seemed a little unhinged in that moment, and acted like a petulant child arguing with a parent. You DO owe me!!! No, I don't! YES (insert a Dorit dramatic pause).....ya do!!! No, I don't!! YA (insert another Dorit dramatic pause).... do!!!! I was waiting for Dorit to stamp her foot and run upstairs, still clutching the bag tightly. Did Dorit really think that Sutton was just going to give in to her and say "Oh, okay - you can have the bag?" Is she that delusional? I do think that, at this point in time, Dorit is very jealous of both Sutton and Kyle's wealth and subsequent trappings from that wealth. I think she's always been jealous of Sutton's wealth and now, she's letting it show. You do occasionally see inklings of that in the way she throws some jabs at Kyle now, as well. I'm still wondering exactly what was said in that 7/8 page email PK sent her. Did it basically say - "Dear Dorit - guess what - we're flat broke and if you want to maintain this over the top perception of a living rich lifestyle you'll need to finance that yourself because we're tapped out and I'm getting out of town before everything crashes down. Sincerely, PK"???

EXACTLY!!!! Dorit needs to know which way to play her separation story, based on how Kyle and Mauricio do it. I agree with you 1,000%!! It reminds me of that old song from the musical "Annie Get Your Gun". "Anything you can do I can do better - I can do everything better than you".

Plus, the whole "mountain/molehill holemill thing was done years ago much better by Ramona from RHONY!!

I've been saying the same thing about Boz for weeks. I like when a new housewife sort of just eases into it, and tries not to immediately jump in where there is an argument between two housewives who have long history together. I'm not really a fan of Boz. She seems used to being the center of attention, and inserting herself where she's going to get the attention turned onto her. Boz certainly was NOT happy with Garcelle calling her out first, in Dorit's foyer/front door area or when they were all on the patio. She also didn't like Kyle calling her out for saying that Kyle was "cold to her". I actually don't agree with Boz - just because Kyle didn't pour her heart out to Boz the minute she walking in the door (like Dorit did), doesn't mean she's cold - it means that she doesn't know you from Adam and is not going to trust you with her secrets or problems. I see nothing wrong with being cautious around people when you first meet them.

But, wasn't the guest from Oregon or the West Coast? I think that's what I remembered, but he may have relocated there from the East. Also, do the primary guests have a say or input into the way their intro chyron is written? We've seen other so-called influencers on BD, but I don't ever recall seeing it noted how many followers they have on social media. This guy's chyron showed something like "110K followers" (or something like that). I laughed because in the grand scheme of social media things, that's not too, too many followers. I do agree that the primary seems like a total douche canoe with a big ego on a personal level, but so far, he and the other guests seem pretty nice in general. They also seem to be okay with the food and polite to all the crew.

So, is Dorit selling all her designer duds, or is she returning them to the vendors or wherever she may have borrowed/rented them from? Is she trying to earn some cash on the side because of the eight page email she received from PK about the separation? I also wondered if maybe Dorit had to cut back on assistants/housekeepers because of finances, and that's why her upstairs was in such disarray? Seems strange that we didn't see any of that mess when her assistant was helping Dorit try on necklaces for 45 fucking minutes while her guests were arriving downstairs, and all Dorit and the assistant could come up with was a Kay Jewelers "MAMA" name necklace? I loved the comment from the random guest guy to Erika when she apologized for taking his hot dog - "That's okay - you probably need it"....I guess he thougt that Erika is looking a little too skinny these days! 🤣 I thought those hamburgers looked terrible - so thin and greasy on the grill. I know burgers need a little bit of fat to add flavor (I use an 80/20 or 85/15 beef blend), but they looked like a bad diner/greasy spoon level of burger. I missed Kyle eating the burger - did she have it on a bun?

Dorit herself has called others worse than bitch....she seems to like the c-word to call other women when she's pissed at them. I seem to recall a certain dinner party where Dorit called Camille a "f-ing C-word" - to me, that's a lot worse than being called out on bitchy behavior. Not for nothing, Dorit WAS being a complete bitch to Sutton from the second she saw her. First, barely acknowledging Sutton, then, basically trying to guilt Sutton into giving her that Hermes handbag (I really wondered if Sutton was going to have to pry the bag out of Dorit's claws), and then, finally, again with the drinking dig. Sutton didn't actually call Dorit a bitch - Sutton reprimanded Dorit to NOT be a bitch. She didn't say "Dorit, you're a bitch" - she said "Don't be a bitch". I would have left Dorit's house, too.

See - this is what drives me crazy. Yeah, of course, in his mind, he had some more upscale "hoedown" or "American cookout" (or whatever they called it) themed foods, but, at the end of the day, the guests seemed very happy with what was presented. Sometimes, simple, well cooked food is better than anything fancy, at least in my opinion. Anthony spoke of short ribs and other things. Short ribs take a long time when cooked properly - they must braise for at least 3-5 hours for them to be tender and flavorful enough to serve. I suppose you could sous vide them to quicken the cooking time, but they still need early in the day prep. So many people always think they can do things better than their superiors, and maybe they can, but until you are in that position, you should keep your snarky opinions to yourself. I did wonder about the lobster tails, though - if you're doing true hoedown or cook out foods - she could have offered a different kind of fish, if it was available. Or, some kind of barbecue chicken or spare ribs (not short ribs). I did like his idea of the sauce bar - that's something I've been seeing lately. I think Anthony is digging his own grave. He should maybe approach her with his ideas and concerns, instead of talking about her when she's basically sitting three feet from him.

So true!!! Love, love, love Jersey diners!! I've also had some really delicious baklava at a couple of diners. I wonder what they would think if they visited a Jersey diner and had a plate of disco fries put in front of them or a Taylor ham/pork roll (depending on where you live), egg and cheese sandwich. It's interesting that most of housewives from the western states (BH, OC, Salt Lake City, Utah and even those Dallas, Texas women), are so unknowing of any kind of international foods, with the exception of basic Mexican, basic Italian or basic sushi and Asian food. We've seen the women from Beverly Hills order well done filet mignon and other very basic, plain items, even when traveling to other countries. We've seen the OC women gag and spit out food everywhere, including Michelin star restaurants in the U.S. I think that the East Coast housewives are more familiar with and/or are willing to taste dishes from other than basic American, or Americanized international cuisine. Even the NJ housewives will veer away from the pasta, meatballs and Sunday sauce dishes from time to time.

One thing I did greatly appreciate about the RHONY reunions was that the husbands/partners did not appear on the reunion. It was so much nicer than the reunions where they parade the spouses out so they, too, can get into stupid arguments. Maybe that's why the reunion was only two installments? Aside from a few incidences, the NY spouses did not play a huge role in any of the women's drama on the show, and I prefer that. Wasn't it NeNe from RHOATL who said "Stay out of the women's business"? I mean, we saw the spouses/partners that wanted to participate with their spouses/partners as we should - in home settings or out on dates, etc. They did not become primary cast members like the NJ husbands/partners try to be.

I think his name was Mike or Jim - but I do remember that he was also identified as being "from Savannah". I saw on the screen Mike (Jim) from Savannah, as if to make sure people would know that he wasn't living anywhere near Reba.
