Wasn't that at the same time she was living with Sonja? I thought it was just for show and didn't think she was serious either.

It's interesting as some here think Tinsley is paying rent to Sonja. Though I don't think that has even been stated on the show. (I don't think Lu was paying rent, either). I believe Tinsley (and to a much lesser extent Lu - I think she needed a place to stay) is staying at Sonja's as it is producer driven and a way to introduce her to the show. In any case though Tinsley is obviously being paid as a FT HW, so should be able to spring for a hotel room. Maybe one that she can rent by the hour, to save money. That said, I still find it mind boggling that she (and Lu) would drag random guys back to Sonja's to spend the night. She is not a roommate, sharing an apartment that they are both paying for which would be neutral territory. This is Sonja's home. Even worse to me than when Lu and I think Ramona dragged men back to the house that the ladies were sharing on vacation. (As I recall, most of the women were up in arms about that). Both Lu and Tinsley have shown to have questionable taste in men. (Lu with that Rey guy who seemed rather unhinged, among others. Tinsley's last relationship which landed her in jail was full of domestic abuse, by all accounts). Tinsley needs to take Lu's advice and find a man (ala Tom) who likes a damsel in distress. And owns his own bed. In the meantime, if Tinsley is that hard up, she can forage in Sonja's dishwasher for a companion.

The fat melting machine that Ann and her hubby were presenting in Spain doesn't seem any different than one I have seen advertised for a few years now called Cool Sculpting. One would think plastic surgeons all over the world would have heard of this product by now. And really, Roxy seems like the only one that even has fat that could be melted, so I thought the choice of "models" was just an excuse for the women to go to Spain. Which did look amazing, BTW. One thing that annoys me about these franchises is how much lag time there is between when they are filmed and when we see the shows. I am currently watching RHoNY, and the time frame is end Oct/early Nov for this week's epi. On the RHoT show this week, it appears to have been filmed the end of August, at least for the trip as the bomb scare at the Frankfurt airport was the end of August. Eight months ago. Ugh. Kara has the worst fashion sense. She was making fun of Ann's dress for the gala, when hers was even uglier. Ann seems to think that if she is wearing a designer, the outfit must look great. Not so much. And what is it with some HWs and ugly bags? I have no idea who the designer was of the bag Graham gave her because Kara was sqeeing in her chipmunk voice, so I could not make it out. But it looked like a dozen other ugly black bags I saw on my last trip to the mall. So did Ann just end up buying one ticket to the gala, and not even a table? Love that no one else went. Personally, hubby and I contribute both time and money to a local animal charity that is close to our hearts, and if I am going to drop $2500 it will be to a charity that is important to me. Not to some random fair weather friend.

Even more shocking to me than Dorinda's meltdown (so much for making it nice) was Luann's TH comment at the first of the episode that Tinsley would be bringing men to Sonja's home, to a bedroom full of stuffed animals. Like it was the most natural thing in the world to bring strange men to the home of your hostess, who has been gracious enough to give you a place to stay. Then I remembered that Lu did that when she stayed at Sonja's. I wonder if there is a chapter on that in Class with the Countess? So I was further shocked at the end of the episode to find that Tinny has done just that. WTF is wrong with these women? If you are staying at the home for wayward socialites and pick up some random guy you want to bang (and apparently is homeless as well) spring for a friggin' hotel room. Sheesh. Dorinda's meltdown was something else, if only because it was in front of so many guests that have nothing to do with the HWs. I have a feeling Dorinda may have been taken off a few lists. And that was sober? Yikes. I didn't mind though that it happened at Ramona's party - no one deserves that kind of disrespect more that Ro.

I am 59, and had never heard of Kim Richards before this franchise. Ever. I looked at her IMDb and while I watched some of the TV shows she apparently guested on, she made no impression on me as I do not remember her. At all. I also never heard of Witch Mountain movies, let alone seen any. There are several actors who were child actors who made an impression on me as they were obviously very talented. But Kim who? I can see now though why Kim hates Eileen so much. I was shocked to see that Kim is only 52. Eileen is 5 years old than Kim, and looks a decade younger. Mind you I am 7 years older than Kim but also look younger. Not that hard to do, as it turns out.

???? Did someone say it wasn't? However Kim's share is noticeably smaller. LOLOL.

As far as I can see, for Kim it is her only job. Certainly not true of LisaR, LVP, Eileen, Kyle, Erika. I was surpised that Kim would admit that she needs the few crumbs she has been thrown this season.

Whether she is still there because she wants to be or not, she is 100% better actor that Kim. If it were me, I would be happy of the steady income, longevity, and to be working with the same family. I like consistency, and would hate to be wondering year after year where my next paycheck is coming from. I think a lot of soap actors are like that. Not everyone needs to prove themselves in other areas. Just like not all actors try the stage, etc. To each his own. Many soap actors are much more well known that likely the majority of working actors.

Hmmm, so Kim claims that she didn't give the bunny to her grandson because it has bad energy. Can't remember if Lisa gave Kim the bunny before or after the grandson was born, but the kid was born last October so safe to say Kim has held on to the bunny for 5 - 6 months. Bad energy my ass. More like trying to hang on to your job. I also found it funny that Kim admitted that this show was her job. Even demoted, she is doing everything she can to stay on. The conversation about why she looks down on Eileen and Lisa was hilarious. Kim apparently has no idea that many actors/actresses got their start on soaps. And of course Eileen's career spans 35 years. Kim OTOH? Never even heard of her until I started watching this franchise. I think if I referred to Kim as a D list actress, it would be a promotion. I want LisaR's FU recorder.

I am confused about the above information. On the show, the grandmother Dee said that after Abbi (Annie) was born and given up her daughter April wanted to have her tubes tied but the doctor said she was too young. Two years later April did meet someone and get married, and she and her husband had three children together. They even showed a picture of the oldest daughter and the three younger children as kids - of the three younger by her husband one was a boy, and two were girls - the girls that were shown as adults on the show. So 5 kids including Abbi, three fathers, and the youngest three kids including the two half sisters of Abbi's shown on the shown are full siblings. Edited to add: Oops, the two sisters that Abbi was introduced to (and were with their grandmother at the first part of the show) were April's first daughter Samantha, and one of the younger daughters Alexis. So they are half sisters as well.

I thought the casting was well done (for the most part) but wondered why Perry was cast as Teddy, Then I saw that Perry was executive producer, so I guess that answers the question.

Well that was just wrapped up way too quickly. Which makes me think that in a few years when Bella and Johnny are SORASED, they will start dating and find out they are really siblings. Because that has never been done before. Am I the only one that thought that Phyllis changed the paternity test (because again, this is a soap and anything can happen - multiple times) to make Kevin the baby daddy so she could keep Billy focused on her?

That was one of my favourite scenes ever in this franchise. Not only did it show a classless Countess, but the grovelling one as well, desperate to get into Bethenny's good graces. It is too bad that Ramona was dis invited by Tom to Lu's birthday party last year (apparently because it was supposed to rain so there wasn't room for Ramona in his apartment). I would have loved to see Ramona re-re-gift Lu's gift.

Luckily I had PVR'd the show so could ff to see WTH was going on. Since it was 10 minutes into the hour before the show I was supposed to be watching started, had I not PVR'd I would have changed channels and watched something else. I watched Long Lost Family, and stopped watching when the new show came on. I guess TLC thought it was a clever way to introduce a new show, but it just ticked me off instead - lol.

I have never been an Ashley fan, and only started watching RHOBH to see if I would like the actor and more than her character. As it turns out I love ED, so I feel so bad for her having this pathetic storyline. As much as Ravi looks 100 % better in a suit than nerd clothes, there is still no chemistry there. OTOH I am pleasantly surprised at Erika G's turn as Farrah. (I missed her first visit to Y&R). I think she is a much better actor than she is a performer as Erika Jane.

Ugh, another "who's the daddy" storyline. And will this be like the typical paternity s/l on Y&R where the daddy really isn't the daddy? Or isn't, then is, then isn't? Ad nauseam. I have only ever watched one other soap (the long departed Edge of Night) and don't remember this done over and over. And over again? Is it typical on other soaps? Yawn. So if they make Billy the father, does that mean that we can expect Kevin to be revealed as Bella's real father? Maybe 50 years down the road? If Kevin is the daddy, do we then worry that at some point it will be revealed that Billy is daddy to Delia 2.0? It is like crying wolf for writers. After awhile (as in now) no one cares. I have been meaning to ask as I watch the show on and off - why is Billy referred to here as ButtBiscuit? Does he have a big butt? Most nicknames are self explanatory, but don't quite get this one.

Wouldn't they have to create a whole new category to do that? The Emmy for best limited series/movie doesn't differentiate as to whether it is original or adapted. Even the Oscars doesn't care where the best actor/actress etc. is concerned, the Oscar goes to the writer. So don't see how/why the Emmys would create a category for best actor/actress in an original limited series and another for adapted limited series.

Butt lady and muscle man were soooooo annoying. I have no idea why they got a deal. The apparel was nothing special, and neither were they. If I was going to buy fitness apparel because of how the creator looks, I would buy Kate Hudson's which I think is very cute and reasonably priced. I would not buy from a Kardashian wannabe who is already looking a little long in the tooth, and who's product is nothing special and overpriced. The segment on the rescue signal guy seemed to be missing parts of the back and forth. It just made no sense to me that not one shark was interested. But three were thrilled to buy into a sippy cup for wine lovers. I just do not get this show at times.

This episode for me put Jessica Lange ahead of Nicole Kidman as Emmy winner for actress in a limited series. And I loved NK in Big Little Lies. Lange gave me chills, several times. I never totally bought Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis, and have wondered all along why more wasn't done to also make her look more like BD. I thought it was very interesting that BD (I assume it was true) made a snide remark about Katharine Hepburn never having children, but it seems in the end the only child she had a relationship with was the daughter who might not even know who she was? They never did mention much about her son. OTOH Joan appeared to have a close relationship with her younger daughters. In any case I love this series, and the final episode was my favourite. Jessica Lange's performance in the dream scene was brilliant, right down to Mamacita coming to bring her back to bed.

Totally agree with Eileen and Yolanda being beauties. The only RHNY I would consider a beauty would be Sonja. Lu is handsome on a good day. In fact I was taken with how much Lu and Caitlin Jenner, in her recent interview, now look alike.

I am misunderstanding what you meant then by off limits. I thought you meant on this board. Whether Victoria's DUI will be brought up by other cast Members? I don't follow any HW 's on SM. But I would not put it past Ramona since she had no problem bringing up a completely innocent six year old.

Sorry my reply was to zoeysmom's post at the end of the last page. I didn't quote it as I am on my tablet and it can be a PITA. By the time I posted there were several other replies.

Why would Victoria be off limits? Not only is she an adult but has been on the show as recently as this episode. I doubt she is showing up for free. She has also had a show of her art featured on a epi in a previous season. Nope. Not off limits at all.

I had never heard of this so had to look it up. So the Go Fund Me page was started by Noel with Luann's OK. Apparently to help a nephew of Lu's who was in a car accident. The fund has only raised $12,995 since the end of December, a little over half of the goal. Only 29 people have contributed (including Sonja who donated $200 and wasn't even invited to the wedding, according to Lu). Seems like the idea went over like a lead balloon with the 250 or so wedding guests. Given Victoria's very recent DUI, it would be nice if Lu would start a new campaign with funds going to Mothers Against Drunk Drivers. Or maybe make a sizable contribution herself. Once she has paid for Victoria's lawyer, of course.

I have always wondered, given that there seemed to be rumors of Mario's unfaithfulness a few years before the mistress, who seemed to end the marriage, if Ramona really had no idea or just looked the other way? In any case though, even if Mario was unfaithful for the last few years they apparently did have many years of a successful marriage. I can't remember if it was this episode, or the previous one, where Lu was discussing her relationship with Tom. It may have been the last one where she had lunch with Ramona? In any case she made a comment to the effect that he had better not cheat on her again (referring to the tongue down the ex's throat). I was surprised that Lu let her guard down - it wasn't the usual drivel that she has been pedaling, that they are soul mates. She really did give the impression (at least to me) that she thought it was a definite possibility that it could happen again, not a one-time-would-never-happen-again mistake. A very candid moment, as opposed to the fairly tale that Lu has been presenting as real life. Edited to add: given that Lu's daughter was arrested just two weeks ago for a DUI of almost twice the legal limit (and was pulled over to start with because she was driving after dark with no headlights) ....I wonder how Tom is enjoying his very recent title as step dad?
