S12.E08: If You Can't Take the Heat, Get Out of the Russian Bath House

[OnceSane]

Quote

Stressed out by the tension between the group, Leah arranges a spa day at a Russian bath house; Dorinda and Tinsley call a truce, while Ramona confronts Dorinda about her anger issues.

Leah and Ramona are right. Can’t believe I just said that. 

[Keywestclubkid]

Dorinda let it go...

It hurts, doesn't it?

I can't believe some of them are trying to play this off like Dorinda's behavior flows from Tinsley's reaction to it and not the other way around.  Tinsley started "screeching" because Dorinda has relentlessly come at her for weeks and she (Tinsley)'s frustrated.

Did anyone listen to Danny Pellegrino’s Everything Iconic podcast with Leah last week? Leah said that she (Leah) and Dorinda are the only cast members who live on Earth and everyone (emphasis on everyone) else is essentially on another planet. I thought that was insightful.

Tinsley is in fact, annoying.

[Straycat80]

Life Coach=Shrink. Why is Dorinda so obsessed with Tinsley, this is just so weird. 

[Steph J]

Man, if I'm "Dr. Daryl," the last thing I want is Dorinda going on TV and advertising that I've been acting as her therapist.

[Keywestclubkid]

Wait I thought she said she didn’t break up with John I’m confused 

[esco1822]

Is Dr. Daryl wearing a bowling shirt? Who is this guy???

[The Solution]

Dorinda needs electroshock more than she needs a "life coach."

[Ms Blue Jay]

I love Ramona kind of not making sense, kind of making sense

"I don't see Tinsley as a victim.  I see Dorinda victimizing Tinsley."

It's profound!

[Chicklet]

Of course Dorito can't see a real therapist because they wouldn't want it televised. I'm sorry this heifer lost her husband 9 years ago and she's that emotionally constipated that she couldn't do the emotional work until now but she has to scream at people because why again?

[Rhetorica]

Damn, I need Dr. Dreamy to remind me that I really am a special snowflake!!!

[Ms Blue Jay]

Dorinda's solution to her problems:  "Be more selfish".

Um, I think maybe the plot was lost somewhere.

Life Coach:  "Dorinda is the nurturer".  Yeah.  Of what?  Her own demons?

I almost choked, yea Dor, you've got that part nailed baby.

These ladies in a Russian Bathhouse? I cannot wait time see this sh*tshow.

[Ms Blue Jay]

Omg Dorinda and Luann talking about how they never go downtown!  Disgusting.

Dorinda won't even go South of Canal Street.

I am living for the snobbish downtown smears and snears

Those hats!  I just can't!  

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OMG when did Ramona get insight?

[Straycat80]

These women have all had bad behavior. Why bring up stuff in a group setting, because it makes for good drama, you’re on a TV show that’s why.

Yea Dorinda is a special kind of psychopath.

[Hangin Out]

Oh excuse me, you two Uptown Snobby bitches Dorinda and La Contessa taking a cab past Canal Street where the air is different to the Russian Bath House.  You two couldn’t even afford a basement apartment where you are going in the Bowrey where the complexes are millions of dollars.  They are passing where Leah lives, along with anybody who is anything, including Bethenny, Andy, and many well known people.  These two pretentious bitches make me sick.

Dorinda copping a plea with the life coach because she was cleaning up the Manor and remembering.  She was nasty way before that, so don’t blame the house.  How has she taken care of everyone?  Who’s everyone?  Now, she has to think about herself.  Hasn’t she been doing that all along?  What bullshit.  Sorry, but not sorry.  You are still a mean drunk and have been for a long time.  Don’t make excuses.  Dorinda making fun of downtown where the pulse of the City lives is shameful.  Go look at the Statue of Liberty from where you are going and remember where you are.  Or,go back to the Bezerkshires and your Haunted Mansion.   While I’m at it, you two morons, remember where the 911 Shrine is .. near the Courthouse.

Over the past couple of seasons I've found that Ramona has become this strange blend of batshit crazy 90% of the time and the most reasonable person in the room the other 10%.  It's bizarre.  Maybe she secretly has a twin who subs in for her every once in a while, like when she can't film because she has eight dates that day.

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

Sonja!! Sick in the van??? GROSS!

I think Dorinda's therapist came straight from selling sneakers at Foot Locker.

Omg i never heard of this Russian bath house thing and the massage with the bushes.  It was on a scene w Geoffrey and Varya on 90 Day Fiance 2 weeks ago and now this on RHONY! Twice in two weeks and my worlds are colliding!!! 

Why the hats? The place looked filthy. 

[Mindthinkr]

I’m beginning to think of why Ramona constantly keeps searching for dates. Once they see her eat there’s never a second date. Talking and chewing with you mouth open (or food falling out) is gross 

[Ms Blue Jay]

Leah's sister is beautiful.

[LibertarianSlut]

Leah is right that Tinsley should respond more strongly to Dorinda, and Luann is right that she shouldn’t be screeching.  When Tinsley felt the need to stand up at the table at the sidewalk cafe with just Leah and Luann, I started thinking this isn’t going to bode well.  

Tinsley needs to find a style.  She is not going to be able to have the same exact style of confrontation as Luann or Leah, but she needs to find a way to have a way to be assertive with other adult woman.  I don’t care about Dorinda.  She can fall off the face of the earth tomorrow.  There will always be a “Dorinda” in Tinsley’s life if she doesn’t learn this skill.  Does she want Dale to still boss her around in her fifties?  Because Dale is absolutely not going to change.  Tinsley has to do this if she wants things to be different.  

Tinsley should be in serious therapy, because she could stand to gain a lot from it.  The rest seem a little too set in their ways or pickled in the brain to be affected by someone’s advice.  And Dorinda and that yes-man?  No words.  All I learned from that exchange was that Richard was not a good looking man.  

So when Sonja was saying that she realized that she couldn’t be drunk in public at the orchard, but she could be drunk on a girls’ trip and usually they would be on a girls’ trip, I realized this is right around the time of the season that they would have gone to Blue Stone Manor, except it fell apart and Dorinda couldn’t afford to keep it up.  So...Sonja thinks her behavior at BSM was ok in the past?  What part?  Raising and lowering Ramona’s 17 year old dog over her head repeatedly?  Or threatening Barbara with a beating if she made out with Sonja’s girlfriend, Bethenny?

Maybe Dorinda really doesn’t know who Mao Zhedong was.  She compared the spa to a “Hamas,” which is a terrorist group.  What was this globe-trotting Richard even doing with her?  

[Chicklet]

This group of women is pretty provincial for all the "traveling" they have done. Everything is strange and different and scary when it's not in the city or the Hamptons. Maybe Lou isn't as bad as the rest ugh.

[Keywestclubkid]

I’m horrified yet strangely intrigued with that whole Ramona talk 

[Straycat80]

LOL at Sonja, laying on the buzzer and ‘here’s your dress Ramona, it’s a LARGE’. 
Ramona at least stands up to Dorinda and gets in her face, Tinsley take note.

Bring up something so 2 years ago Dorinda? How about something so 9 years ago. She's demented.

[nexxie]

HA! Love the expressions of those women watching the psycho nutjob go off.

[Emmeline]

That is a true Russian bathhouse.  Not some froufrou establishment they usually frequent.  After the treatment the Russian men sit around, chat, drink and eat.  Those were big shots.

Even if you do think Tinsley is annoying, that doesn’t give you license to say she sleeps with people for money and luxury items and that she’s stupid.  This episode you can see Tinsley is starting to check out.  Can’t blame her.

Dorinda is finally going to think about herself.  Was she so busy taking care of Hannah for 9 years?  Her husband provided for her financially since they married and he continued to do so after his death.  My sister was  diagnosed with cancer.  Then her husband died of a widow maker while at work.  Since then she has continued to work so she has insurance, even though she only weighs 90 pounds.  Still, she isn’t nasty and and doesn’t feel sorry for herself.  Take that bitch.  I’m hoping to feel some schadenfreude about Dorinda.

She specifically brings her phone out to play a word to insult someone but it’s the other person who’s the bad one? Dorinda Mentally abuses people she would be that spouse that didn’t hit you but just beat you down mentally so you know you are nothing and she is everything   

[chewycandy]

“It wasn’t all posh and circumstance.”

”That was 17 diarrheas ago.” 

[esco1822]

Posh and circumstance? Thank you Ramona.

[Mindthinkr]

I’m sure all of Ramona’s neighbors loved all that yelling and crying in the hallway. 

[Ms Blue Jay]

I can't stand when Ramona and Luann call out Dorinda for being an ABUSIVE asshole, Dorinda brings up how long they've all known each other.  So?  What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?!

 

FUCK.  HER.

Never in my life did I think I would nod along with Ramona saying “Yes! Exactly!” as much as I have this season. 
 

Dorinda is a witch.

[nexxie]

Just like Bethenny - from narcissistic rage to poor-me tears - whatever works to manipulate others and get what you want.

Ramona is telling Dorinda the things the therapist should be telling Dorinda.

[Andi27]

Dorinda wants to get rid of the hysterics of her life? She's got a hell of a long way to go.

And from that fight, what she really wants is for people to just obediently agree with her... sorry 'support' her.

I’m the victim it’s your fault for not treating me like I’m the victim.... Jesus Christ Dorinda and her mood swings. She is the MASTER of gaslighting she is the MASTER mental manipulator WOW ... she turned that on Ramona so quickly... so at the end Ramona was apologizing for Dorinda saying horrible things about her. Bravo Dorinda that was Wow
