Chris is not aging well. Plus, weren't they in all kinds of trouble business-wise? Not as bad as Teresa and Joe, but weren't there some tax liens against his apparel business and didn't they almost lose their home to foreclosure or something? Plus, wouldn't you look beaten down if you had to deal with Jacqueline every single day?

Nope - schools in New Jersey usually are in session until 12/22 or 12/23, depending on the day of the week Christmas Eve falls on, and then, they are back in session on January 2nd.

I don't really know what to think - I'm torn, because I loved this show in the first few seasons (at the time, it was probably my favorite). I watched because I was curious, but I'm conflicted. The reunion scene with Teresa and her daughters was emotional, and I agree - it probably should not have been filmed. Gia is so mature - she gives me the impression that she has grown up and she was the "mom" to those girls while Teresa wasn't there. Milania is no longer cute, imo. They need to get her in hand quickly, before she is completely out of control. It's not funny anymore - it's disturbing. Joe Gorga is, if this is possible, even more annoying. Does he really think that anyone wants to see his naked body? He's a 40-something, sort-of in shape (but not really) guy - no one wants to see that, except for Melissa. He continues to embarrass himself. No opinion on the new girls yet - seems like they'll be more screechy than Nicole and Teresa were. Just so glad that asshat, Jim Marchese, isn't on, but I do miss Rino - I loved that guy! :-) Jacqueline decided to come back for no other reason other than they need the money.

I noticed last night, at the dinner get together, when Ramona came in - they were all talking so fast and furious - the only person who's voice you could really hear above all others was Bethenny's. I also noticed that Ramona, one of her new bff's (due to the visits to Bethenny's sick bed), was also not immune from a nasty comment. Bethenny said something like "Take off your Chanel coat from 1937 and sit down" in the middle of the sex conversations. Now, to me, that was very passive-aggressive. Bethenny is noting that Ramona is wearing a Chanel coat, but also giving a dig that it wasn't that great, because it was vintage. As usual, her tone was condescending and insulting. I don't know if Ramona's coat was truly a vintage Chanel, but I thought it was gorgeous.

I've seen Skinny Girl products (not the wine and alcoholic drek drinks) at Target stores here....breakfast bars, etc. I actually bought the Skinny Girl Stevia (it was on clearance at Target last summer), and it left a terrible after taste in my mouth, unlike any other stevia products I have used. Maybe that is why Bethenny is so nasty this season - she's overdosing on Skinny Girl crap and it's leaving her with an awful taste in her mouth and a sour stomach??

Ha-ha-ha.....thanks, Ryebread, for making me clean my screen from spewed tea!!! Best laugh of the day! :-)

I have felt that way several times while watching this season....her voice drives me crazy!

I thought the same thing, and I also thought that, apparently, given Dorinda's comment, Luann is not the only one who had an issue with Carole dating Adam.

I don't think any of these women will be cooking and bringing casseroles (TM-Vicki of RHOC) to Bethenny. If anything, they will be ordering food from an upscale restaurant to be delivered to her. Well, except maybe Dorinda - she could make a lasagna. And, I don't think after the last episode, that Bethenny will ever eat anything that may have been prepared by Jules. ;-)

I thought the same exact thing when we saw her at the skating rink. There was a shot of her from the rear, and her legs looked like they shouldn't be able to hold her up. I'm not one for body shaming, and I kind of envy anyone who is naturally thin, but Carole should never be filmed from behind, especially in skin tight jeans. Very, very thin legs and no butt are not attractive in skinny jeans, imo. Oh, and speaking of the ice skating scene, did anyone else have a scary thought that JZ was going to come skating out from the side in her sequinned outfit with Johnny Weir coaching her? ;-)

I couldn't figure out if the pained expression was because Jules just didn't want to eat anything, or because Carole's pizza was made with all veggies and vegan cheese. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I would assume that unless you are, vegan cheese may be less than tasty, especially to someone who doesn't eat much of anything to begin with.

I wonder if this comment will be addressed at the Reunion. I would imagine that, if it were made by any other housewife, from any franchise, Andy would be jumping all over this, but given that Bethenny made the comment, it won't be mentioned at all. I continue to lose respect for Bethenny. I loved her in Season 1 and 2, loved her on her own shows, but since her return to RHofNY, her likability factor just keeps going down, week after week after week.

While I agree with you on some level, I don't think that Kathryn's behavior was anywhere near as bad as what we saw during the Scary Island episodes of RHNY, and Kelly Bensimon's epic meltdown. Now, that, I would definitely say was used by Bravo for ratings. Kathryn and Thomas' behaviors are fairly mild in comparison.

I agree with you on all points...excellent post! Last night, while watching, I was wondering why, if Landon and Kathryn both claim to have "zero fucks to give" (tm - either Erika Jayne or Bethenny Frankel, depending on who you are talking too) about each other, why would they even involve themselves in each other's business. Kathryn stated that "irrelevance doesn't enter her brain" or whatever she said when speaking about Landon, and Landon has repeatedly commented that she wants nothing to do with Kathryn, doesn't care what Kathryn does, etc., but, yet, both their actions are the exact opposite of their words. Landon constantly inserted herself into conversations about Thomas and Kathryn that had absolutely NOTHING to do with her. Kathryn jabbed at Landon's comments with immature, petulant comebacks. They both sounded like five year olds in a sandbox fighting over the one pail and shovel. If you want nothing to do with the other party, stay the hell out of their business, don't comment on their actions or behaviors - pretend like that other person doesn't exist. Cameron is doing a fairly good job of that, as you said. I think both Landon and Kathryn are a little crazy, just in different ways.

Maybe that's why she moved away from Phoenix? ;-)

Yes - Heather and Terry were staying at Beaches Resort, which is amazing, and can be very, very expensive, especially for a butler family suite. And, for the record, there was no enhancement of the water and beach - the water there is really that amazing turquoise color and the sand is like baby powder. That vacation probably set them back at least $25,000.00 for a week for their family, not including airfare.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Shep was the one who was rating the women on a numerical scale (at least on camera) - that was Craig and Whitney, and actually, I think Shep did his best to dispel those comments. I like the fact that Shep is what he is, and he makes no excuses for it. He is a guy who is just having a good time with his life. He makes no apologies for who he is, for his family money, for his businesses, for the fact that he, right now, prefers one night stands or flings to anything more committed or serious. Whiteny said it best when he said that Shep is the best one on the show because he just looks at the show as a fun thing to do, rather than a launch pad for anything else. Shep is an intelligent man. You can tell by his answers to the questions that Andy asked, and the references he has made to literature and history throughout the show. Regarding the numerical scale of his "hook-ups", and when Craig said something about going home with a "2", his response about a binary scale was priceless, and even more priceless was the look of utter confusion on Landon's face, because I think she has no freakin' clue what he was talking about! AND - that, right there, is the reason that Landon and Shep would not be a good match. She is just not on the same level, intellectually, as he is.

Ummm....posting Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat photos?

That collection won't garner her much cash - she admitted on TV that the one she was carrying when she met Cooper was "faux" real.

As far as I can see, the only ones who seems to be raking Kathryn across the coals for sleeping with other people are Landon and Patricia . The others (specifically Cameron and Whitney), seem to have more of an issue with her erratic, tumultuous behaviors., which is perfectly understandable.

The last place on earth that Kathryn wanted to be was on that couch. She looked and acted like a petulant child, forced to sit still and keep quiet during a church sermon. It would not surprise me to learn that she was not drug free during the reunion. Most of her comments were nonsensical, and immature. All her "shut ups" and "mind your business" were childish and rude.

Is that a 2016 term for the 1970's terrarium (complete with a fake cardinal) that Carole brought to Adam's house? My Mom had a terrarium just like that back in the day. That is Carole, again, being unwilling afraid to commit to anything.

More like an Asian-Jewish version! (Sorry - couldn't resist!) :-)

Well, she might, but she would preface it by saying that she got them while on the same yacht with P.Diddy or Madonna, or when she was skiing in Gstaad with the Sultan of Brunei. ;-)

Sounds like a big mistake to me, if that's the case. Unless, she's looking, he's buying, and she's going to keep her current apartment as a back-up, or for when she has Bryn.
