And it's such a strange addiction and one I just don't get. And one that seems even harder to break b/c like alcohol, there are always places to gamble that are legal. Even illegal gambling is easier than scoring illegal drugs. I guarantee you this guy is going to ruin Tiff's credit. He's probably getting cash advances from credit cards in her name.

This is very true! But I just didn't notice him looking shrimpy around other people. If he were 5'5", I think he would look like a shrimp around the men folk they had him around. But maybe he's wearing elevator shoes!

(1) Fernanda doesn't look that in shape for someone who claims she needs to be in shape. I mean, she's not fat, but she doesn't even look that in shape for fitness modeling. No way she's modeling for anything but porn sites. How is she affording a place in Chicago otherwise? Did she get new boobs too? I don't remember them being that big. Her voice annoys the fuck out of me. (2) Gee, Tiffany, big surprise her gambler relapsed. Why on earth would someone procreate with a gambler who has zero $ to gamble with? Why didn't she just cut her loses? The gambler probably has now ruined her credit and she's too stupid to even realize. Why is she even still married to that loser? She's a beautiful girl. She can't do better than him? Why do people pump out kids they can't afford? She's another whose voice irritates me. (3) Jesse. I never thought he was good-looking but that hair is really bad now. He must be bleaching it himself during this quarantine.

Ah thanks. I take it you like her decor? I mean, I understand now that she's trying to represent the era the home was built. But I still don't like her choices.

Well, that's interesting and something I hadn't considered. But even if historically accurate, does the house show well with the rest of her tackiness? The ceiling might be beautiful in a house that didn't have the decor she does and fishes on a wall. Interesting on the timing. I wonder if he thought the home would be too much upkeep for Dorinda and he wanted to sell it so she wouldn't be stuck with it? The guy was in finance and probably knew it was a terrible idea for her to hold onto the home when he was dead.

I mean, it looks like Home Goods (a store I do love) took a giant dump on this house. Staging a house is really important to a home sale, so I can't imagine sophisticated NYers looking past her tackiness to have a second home in the Berkshires.

What's interesting to me is the photos are only of the outside and of the kitchen and then stairs. There are no photos of the bedrooms, living areas, bathrooms. My guess is when it was on the market, the realtor decided not to post photos of fish room and Dorinda's tacky AF decor. I would also bet that people in the market for a house of that price don't want to have to undo all of Dorinda's bad taste. I mean look at this ceiling! I can also imagine Dorinda, despite supposedly being a realtor, arguing with the listing agent on repainting and having someone stage the house. And I can also picture her not listening to the agent's pricing suggestions. Therefore it didn't sell in 2011 because others don't find it as captivating as Dorinda does.

You know what though, a net worth in the "millions" really isn't all that much in NYC, especially if much of it is tied into real estate. She could go through that pretty quickly if she's has 2 homes to maintain. Then she's got a ton of upkeep a 11,000 square foot 100 year-old mansion on 18 acres. I don't know what she makes from RHONY, but that money isn't going to last forever either. She's 55. It's hard to imagine she's got 5 years worth of RHONY money -- she's aging out. So if that's her only source of income and she's living the high life, I wouldn't rest on that. Depending on her investments, she could've lost a shitload with COVID. I suspect she'll dump BSM soon. That's why she's going through all the emotions now. She knows she needs to sell it.

Aw, that's so sweet! My brother married his first and only GF! He broke up with her once in college b/c he liked a cheerleader in his class. But it lasted 24 hours. He saw my SIL at a football game and it killed him not to be with her! They've been happily married for 30 years! So yes, it does happen! I honestly would love it if this was her guy. He is just so sweet! Really? He doesn't look that shrimpy around everyone else. I think that's a misprint. IMDB has him at 5'9" which seems more realistic! That reminds me. I never seem to date tall guys. Only a basketball player in college! Everyone else seems to be short! Even current one is about 5'9. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9388537/bio

She has. At times I forget how much she's had to go through. I lost my dad when I was 35 and it was so awful!

It's funny b/c I had my heart broken many times, broke many hearts. I don't think my mom grieved for me! I think part of the reason I grieve for her is she lost her dad 3 years ago (4th anniversary is Dec 16) to cancer; she was 14 going on 15 when he passed. So each little heart break she feels, I think of her larger sense of loss. And I feel sadness. Now, there were a couple of boyfriends she had that I was really happy when it was over! And so sorry you couldn't talk to your mom about that!

Remember when I was convinced David is a failed standup comedian/actor? I meant to post after seeing his hugging of Lana last episode, that I no longer thing he is. I now think he is just an idiot. I'm not sure if I buy the 7 year thing and that much money spent, but he's definitely stupid and is not acting. If he did spend that much money on her, it sure did not go to dental work.

YES! When I first saw her, I thought to myself: This is the best Geoffrey can get from Russia? When I was in Moscow, I remember being absolutely shocked by the beautiful women there. Varya, who looks much older to me than her alleged age of 30. Geoffrey is actually a nice looking guy. To me, he actually looks much more attractive the last couple of episodes. I mean, he was a standout at the bar in TN too! When I was in Russia, there were very few good looking men I came across. I can only think of 1 that I saw the whole 2 weeks I was there (in Moscow and Samara). Varya may not have liked Geoffrey's past, but I am not surprised she jaunted across the country based on what I've seen there. In addition, many Russian men are way too into vodka. And the American men trying to get Russian brides usually look like Ed and Davids. Mary, as Varya astutely noted, is a pretty lady. I'm guessing she was as covered up as she is that maybe she has a little chunk on her compared to Varya. I think facially, she is much more attractive than Varya. Mary will age nicely. Varya's face already isn't.

Aw, I love your love story! A happy ending! I was actually pretty heartbroken over their breakup mainly b/c this kid is the nicest kid. He's honest to a fault and very mature for his age. I chalk it up to him being homeschooled! But it looks like their breakup was just a temporary thing. He's coming over today. But I have told her very few people meet at 18 and stay together. Don't put all of your happiness into one person. But that he has the qualities she should look for in whomever she dates!

This is one of the few interactions that I don't think is producer set up. Mary has been a friend. On paper, Mary is good for Geoffrey. He knows that. She's attractive, but she's not exotic to Geoffrey. Very rarely do Men put women in friend zone immediately and then fall in love with them. My guess is Varya probably made marriage sound like the distinct possibility if they got along well in Russia. It was tough at first, but then they seemed to gel towards the end. So he probably thought marriage was a yes. He probably also thought no, or not now = your past is preventing me from you. I think his past makes the perceived rejection a lot harder --- this is another woman who can't fully love him b/c of his past crimes. In pops Mary! The only woman that has truly loved me. But he's not in love, never has been in love with her, and has to talk himself into feeling in love with her. B/c she looks great on paper. In pops the exotic Russian who suddenly realized Geoffrey's past doesn't matter! I'm whole again, he feels. I've made someone overcome the past that I have. I truly feel like we're seeing Geoffrey go through the battle of Mary = comfort, loves me for me, she's dependable, she's reliable and I should love her. Varya excites me, but is she right for me? He loves Mary. He's not in love with her. And that's why he hasn't fully pushed her off the cliff yet for Varya. It's just sad that Mary ever let her guard down b/c she clearly knew she was the rebound for him.

I totally agree. Avery was done with him the minute he called her heartless. I think she's just being nice so he won't go psycho before she left. She'll get home and start the ghosting proceedings.

Varya is, for lack of a better word, a c*nt. I really don't think this was producer set up and that Varya was acting. I think this is the real Varya. I felt sorry for Mary. The fact that Geoffrey just let her walk away and didn't send Varya packing was telling. She's way too good for him and I hope she lets him be miserable with Varya. And it's another reason why you don't just jump into another relationship that quick just b/c you got your heart broken. My daughter just did that after her boyfriend of 4 months broke up. I knew that she wouldn't take time to heal. Now BF wants her back and she's pretty much broken the heart of the rebounder. I mean, it's COVID so there isn't really dating but still. Let your heart heal before you fuck with someone else's just b/c you were hurt. But shit, my daughter is only 18. Geoffrey, in his 40s, couldn't be single for more than 2 weeks?

I get it if you are only there a couple of months. I don't get moving in furniture if you are only there for a couple of months. And wow, needing 24/7 room service and the concierge in the city that never slept until COVID really is the epitome of never having to worry about money. Does she have some sort of settlement that never ends? Where her parents that rich? I'd always worry the bottom was going to drop out.

I don't begrudge her for that either. She smartly capitalized on her looks and her personality.

Well, I did see she has a Master's degree in decorative arts from the Cooper Hewitt design museum! But I feel confident that her being a skinny blonde socialite married to Mortimer helped get her those coveted positions. That said, she clearly had *something* over other socialites. Maybe it is the sweetness about her that made her so much different from others? Whatever the case, she clearly had something that was/is unique about her.

Years ago, there was a photo of her canoodling with someone not Harry Hamlin. I think they have a great friendship but that's all. They just don't see the need to divorce.

Ah, so her career has been related to being rich thin blonde "it girl" socialite. Even her novel, Southern Charm is basically autobiographical --- Southern (read Virginian) girl living in Manhattan!

My question was: Why are Goldfish in the fridge? Does she not realize they don't need to be refrigerated after opening? For me, I wasn't all that interested in seeing her in her hotel b/c it's a hotel. It doesn't matter to me that she actually brought in some items of furniture...that were ugly. If you are bringing furniture into an hotel apartment to make it look more homey, why not buy a place for an actual investment or rent an actual apartment? I don't know if she was drunk or not, but as sweet as Tinsely is, she also seems like she can't get out of her "it girl" status years ago. She's 44 years old and she still dresses/acts like she's 22. Dorinda doesn't have to be such a bitch about it, but I can see why the cast would find Tins annoying. Unless she's just acting for the camera, I don't see a whole lot of substance with her. I mean, at least the Countess, was a nurse, then model, then before she hooked up with wealth actually ended up a host on an Italian show. Ramona worked for her wealth. Sonja, well, she fucked for it but she had a life in NYC before marrying into it. Did Tinsley do anything other than be born wealthy and marry wealthy? Any real job after her art history degree? Or was her job just being a rich, thin blonde who married and divorced well?

Someone explain to me the advantages of living in a hotel? It seems like an awful lot of money to throw down the tubes. And in this video, she's moving in her stuff. Why not buy a place in NYC instead of throwing that money down the tubes? I read somewhere that it's been rumored she spends $30K a month! WTF? Even if I had that kind of money it's ridiculous expenditure. I could understand more if you were someone that needed to be able to be in and out, therefore you can't rent an apartment for 2 months but seems like a NYC would be a good investment for her.

Dorinda has a great apartment. I feel like if she sold Blue Stone Manor, she'd be a lot happier and a lot richer. It's an old mansion that requires a lot of upkeep. I'm 52 and have a 4 bedroom house that is about 3500 sq feet and when my teenage daughter moves out, not sure I'd stay. BSM is cash drain on her. Sell it, keep the NYC apartment. AirBNB when you want to enjoy some land and a pool.
