S12.E10: Something's Brewing

[pieinmyeye]

Dorinda thinks Leah is lost. Boy, is that rich.

[gatopretoNYC]

"She's extending the scone - give her some jam." 😂😂😂

[Keywestclubkid]

Dorinda circles Tinsly like a shark 

[Steph J]

Damn, what kind of voodoo is Leah working with these women that all she has to say is "Sorry" and everyone immediately forgives and defends her?

(Not that it isn't refreshing not to have to spend 3 episodes of a housewives show watching the group hold a referendum on someone's behavior at one specific event.)

[Straycat80]

OMG Dorinda! So what if Tinsley is still seeing Scott, it’s none of your effing business!

Please someone post a gif of him here.  I really need it today.

I took a screen shot last week, I can never get it to work here! 

[CSunshine76]

Can you  imagine being out for dinner and these harpies are seated near you? Holy shit, I had to turn the volume so far down.  Surely Bravo pays the patrons that are being filmed or fills the restaurant with their own staff? I would be POd if these cows ruined my dinner/night out with their screaming and throwing food.  Grow up.

I look forward the shot of that guy with the sweater wrapped around his shoulders drinking his martini becoming an overused reaction gif.

He's this season's red scarf guy.  Sort of.  Sweater boy.

[Hangin Out]

OMG .. What just happened at that restaurant?  All of them all over the place.  Dorinda crying over John.  I knew it.  He probably broke it off, and now she’s lonely.

[Chicklet]

Dorinda is a shark, beady eyes, never sleeps, circles around. And sharks are actually valuable ecologically, Dorinda, not so much. I think we insulted sharks Keywestclubkid.

And why is it any of Dorinda's business if Tinsley is seeing Scott? She's not the relationship police.

[esco1822]

Sir, do not tell Lu she put cabaret on the map. She’s already insufferable, you are not helping matters. Think of us poor viewers!!

[Legalbeagle421]

Dorinda needs a hobby or something. To borrow from RHOBH, which is having a much better season, let the mouse go. 

[Keywestclubkid]

Why are you so obsessed with Tinsly and Scott? Why Dorinda? Why is it your business?

No kidding!!!  Who cares?!  

[RedDelicious]

Ha! Tinsley doesn’t know how to hold a teacup. Neither does Leah but that doesn’t surprise me. Luann does, and Ramona too (but Ramona was probably watching Luann).

[Legalbeagle421]

Aww, I feel bad for Tinsley. It is very clear that the relationship was on/off and she did not want to get her hopes up/share it because she knew it would end. I don't know why that's so hard for Dorinda to understand, but she's annoying. 

[Chicklet]

I wasted an hour of my life on THIS? I need an intervention about my tv viewing habits.

[Midnight Cheese]

How can we find out when Mr. Struggle Hairline and Gout aka Mr. National Security 2019 (oh, what was it, CORTLAND? Your name is as garbage as your cream cheese face, sweetie) got married to the luckiest woman on Earth? He has the look of erectile dysfunction all over him. That is not a catch! Do these assholes need to slap on their readers when they troll for grade-Z dick?

SONJA YOU HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND ARE A FRAUD. ALSO THE EDITORS HATE YOU and how I know is they thought you’d be embarrased by having the tag on your pants visible, either because they want us to know you’d try to return them after wearing, or because you lie about your size during this season. They hate you. And so do I. (And your ex, who married your friend. So let’s add your  friend to the list. And your customers. And your creditors.)

Sonja and Ramona are blunts, minus the bl, throw in a c. The dinner party may have been filmed in Martian because what the fuck? But still.

[Callaphera]

This weekend we splurged on a brand new 4k Ultra HD fancy dancy I-can-count-all-your-pores ginormous TV. I love it. It's so clean and crisp and the picture quality is amazing.

Which means that Dorinda's frosted lipsticks of doom look even worse than I thought. She needs to fire her makeup artist stat. That's just not a good look.

[pieinmyeye]

Wow, Ramona. Yes, Leah acted like an ass, at a private dinner. At least she didn’t, with the exception of the ravioli throwing, act like you did in the restaurant.

In a game of Marry, Shag, Kill (I blame Satan Andy for the rising popularity of this utterly stupid game) Luann would “marry” Bethenny?  The one who terrorized her up and down the eastern seaboard from Massachusetts to Miami (to say nothing of the other 51 states)?  Why is she back to kissing Bethenny’s ass?  Because she’s off the show so out of sight, out of mind?  Luann’s a joke.  She shouldn’t mention Bethenny’s name on camera to deny her the satisfaction.  But I am glad we got almost halfway through the season without the cabaret.  I wasn’t expecting such a respite.  

Of course, Luann would marry the wealthiest of the housewives. That’s on brand for the Countess. 

Why won’t Tinsley just admit Scott does not want to be discussed on the show? It would put Dorinda and the rest of us out of our misery.

Another thing I wish all of the housewives would admit - most of the gossip from a “mutual friend” is coming from a crew member of the show. 🙄

 

 

[LibertarianSlut]

I liked the idea of a party with no alcohol, although I don’t believe no one imbibed before or during.  Aside from what looked like bottles of wine on the table, flasks are sold for a reason.  

The venue for that relax, relate, reset party was beautiful New York City space.  I feel like the word “iconic” belongs in there somewhere, but that word is getting overused.  

I liked their brightly colored and pastel outfits for the most part.  Maybe because this franchise is always filming when it’s cold, I usually I find their clothes boring.  This was a nice little break from that.  

Leah had a knot in her throat because she was actually going to have to face these women sober.  She started drinking for the first time in nine years just to face these women after all she went through with her bipolar.  That says a lot about her insecurity.  

All those drunken flashbacks were amazing!!  There are so many more too.

Dorinda and her drive-bys with Tinsley and Scott drives again.  “You need to tell them or I’m going to tell them.”  I can’t believe how ridiculous this shit is, and I can’t believe how Tinsley doesn’t just laugh her off.  

I also thought Luann’s and Leah’s advice was ridiculous.  How many good relationships started with an ultimatum?  I don’t think Tinsley should fuck with Scott, but if she wants to, go for it.  At least she knows she’s not playing from a place of strength.  Leah, how does laying down the law with a guy work for you?  How easy does Leah it will think for Scott to impregnate Tinsley as a 44 year old woman who’s never given birth?  She’s so ignorant.  Let’s look at Luann and Leah’s track records in relationships.  Or any of them.  Why should anyone in that group listen to anyone else’s advice when it comes to love?

I was just watching the season eight episode where Bethenny said “it’s like the blind leading the deaf,” and I didn’t know what it meant then, and I don’t know what it means now, but somehow I know it applies to this situation.

Chicklet, it's just the quarantine?  the protests?  the fact that it's Thursday?  Who knows.   But you're not alone!  I ask myself that every time I watch ANY of the howives.  So, there's that.

Oh Geeze, a freakin tea party so Dorinda can take credit and get off the hook for all the mean things she has done.  Now, she will be the fixer upper, and everyone will adore her because she made it nice.  I want to throw up.

I thought Leahs parents were so mad at her.  I’m confused.  They were having lunch like nothing happened.

Dorinda at it again questioning Tinsley why she didn’t reveal her weekend with Scott in Niagara Falls.  What business is it of hers or any bodies?  Do we all really know why Dorinda and John were not together,and now are talking again?  She still makes me sick.

That tea party was a joke.  They already did that on OC.

[pieinmyeye]

I didn’t know Big Bird was going to attend the tea. Ramona has to be one of the world’s biggest assholes.

[SuprSuprElevated]

I want to go back in time, and assume Tinsley's persona for this "tea".  I would slip the server a $100 bux to see to it that Dorinda receives a slightly tainted lobster tail.  After that I would send her an expletive-laden email, copied to Page Six, explaining that my relationships/private life are just that, and she can kiss my entire ass, on 5th Avenue, at high noon.  She can pick the day.

Sonja is completely unnecessary so far this season. Ramona will never change.

As of this episode, Elyse is my favorite.  (fwiw, she would be if BF were still on board.)

She is jealous as hell. Let’s just tell it true. Sonja is busted and broke as a joke.

Ramona and her "potted cream!"   She never fails to deliver the funny.  I hate that she was such an asshole the night before though.  The tea party could've been so much fun.  Gee thanks, Dorinda for ruining it by cornering Tinsley and interrogating her about Scott.  

[Chicklet]

Dorinda needs the work so she invents drama and drinks too much to ensure that. Has to be the reason she's being an asshat every.single.episode.

BSM aint gonna rehab itself you know.

Edited June 5, 2020 by Chicklet

[Maire]

Kadoooz to the camera person who caught the tag on Sonja’s jeans. You know she’s already returned them.

[Callaphera]

I'm disappointed. According to Martini Clutching Sweater Guy who was talking about this night on IG, while Leah threw a ravioli at this dinner, Sonja threw a pumpkin - I'm assuming it was one of the decorative gourds she was holding near her ears like some weird Harvest festival version of a Princess Leia hairdo. I would've loved to see Dorinda's reaction to that. 

[esco1822]

I forgot about Ramona throwing the plastic wine glass at Kristin and making her bleed her own blood. That’s worse than a ravioli, at least that’s a snack.

[Emmeline]

I just cannot believe Dorinda again this week.  I wouldn’t be surprised to find that she hired someone to track Tinsley.  If Tinsley would still like to make it work with Scott, that’s her business.  As others have said, Scott didn’t want to be mentioned on the show.

I like that black haired girl, not Leah's sister. But she's probably too normal to be made a full time housewife. Or too sane...

I like Elyse, too - she seems to be above the lowbrow behavior, and tries to be reasonable with everyone.

I would have really preferred Elyse being a fulltime housewife over Leah, who is just seriously displaying some disturbing behaviors.

But, as you said - I think Elyse is just too level-headed and normal, and doesn't bring the crazy, drunken shennanigans that seem to be a requirement of the Housewives franchises these days.

What's with Dorinda saying to Tinsley that she needs to tell the group or she's going to?  Tinsley should've acted like it was no big deal and told her to go ahead and tell the group.  It was the biggest nothing of a story anyway.  I've had a really crappy week at work and sitting here listening to Dorinda makes me want to reach through my screen and throttle her!!

"You have to have a certain demeanor to hang out with us" ?? What does that word even mean to you Ramona. Surely not anything resembling manners or using indoor voices. Or not getting wildly drunk or shouting in restaurants.

I think, to Ramona, "you have to have a certain demeanor" is synonymous with "you certainly have to be drunk to hang with us."

[Kiki777]

Am I missing something?  Scott used to date Dorinda?  Or maybe he ran over her dog in his Bentley?  Why else would she be seeing red over Tinsley spending a weekend with him?

She needs to get a life, she looks pathetic AF.

That was quite the WTF moment right there.  You need to be drunk and act like a slut to hang out with them.  The guy told them that he was engaged.  Ramona and Sonja were pathetic in their attempt to win him over.

[Marley]

Just gotta say I was not minding Tinsley this year until she said she made out with her sister as a joke. That is fucking disgusting. Instantly over her and glad she’s gone from the show.

She got arrested she got thrown out of school... Sonja you were born poor you were a hostess get off that high horse 

I would even go so far as to say that I suspect Sonja was a paid escort (not a hooker/prostitute), but actually, someone who was paid to look pretty on an old man's arm for events that he needs a "plus one" to attend.

I don't like those Director's chairs in that restaurant.  That looks so cheap!   I have a thing about restaurants that refuse to support people's backs.

I'm cool with Ramona this season and all, but it would do wonders to run a comb through her hair.

Luann making fun of Ramona.  LOL yeah.  Cuz Luann *never* flirts.

Did Ramona ask that Arkansas guy if he was wearing a garter?!  LOL

His name is Courtland?!

Tinsley being a control freak over the restaurant situation is pointless.  I couldn't care less if some people at a dinner party were hanging out at the bar.  You gotta let go.

I'm pretty sure that the editors hate Dorinda.  😁. Her display and made up language at that restaurant, oh lordy lordy.  (Sonja:  Oh, gourdy gourdy.  Sonja was out of her gourd)

Leah's black dress is wonderful.

That guy reminded me of younger version of Cooper from the early seasons of Southern Charm.

In a year or two Sonja will end up working as restroom attendant in some fancy restaurant handing out towels or wet-wipes.

After work, go home and eat her cat food pate.

[65mickey]

When Dorinda starts with Tinsley about Scott for once I wish that Tinsley would stop with the crying and getting flustered.  Why doesn't she look Dorinda in the eye and say I don't have to tell you or anyone of these bitches anything about my relationship with Scott. It's none of your GD business so shut up and go pick on someone else. 

Sonja, Ramona, and Luann were pathetic making a beeline to the bar so that they could flirt with men who probably had a good laugh about them after they left. The only one with an once of class on this show is Elyse. I would pay good money to see the manager of a restaurant tell this crew that they had to leave because their behavior was not appropriate and offensive to the other patrons. Just tell them to leave. Forget paying the bill just leave.

Because these two are the epitome of happy and healthy relationships?  

I could not stop laughing from the moment Sonja gave Sara the cold shoulder welcome until the end of that dinner party where they were acting like a box of puppies let loose in a room.  I now fully expect Ramona to go on a manhunt when she enters a room full of people, but it was pretty funny to see Sonja and Luann make a happy bee-line to take full advantage of her scouting expedition. 

I think my favorite thing this episode (aside from sweater guy) was Leah overestimating the power she and her sister would hold over men.  I loved that guy for a brief moment when he got up and left.

I have been amazed at how quickly the hour goes by the last several episodes.  Thank you RHoNY for providing a brief diversion from the true reality of life these last few months.

"Tell the truth or I will tell it for you."  Really, Dorinda?!  I can't help but wonder what Tinsley did to Dorinda that would warrant so much animosity.

Would those guys have talked to Ramona if there hadn't been a huge camera crew trailing behind her? She's not old enough to be their mother maybe but surely they don't date 60somethings.

Not that there's anything wrong with 60somethings...just most men tend to date younger. Except for Jacques of course.

I don’t think they were trying to talk to her all that much.  She just barged her way in and kind of trapped him.  Which I think is why he ended up snapping at Leah and her sister (which if I was him I probably would have, too). I think by that point he had had enough.  Him and his buddies were sitting at the bar chilling and a group of aged harpies descends upon them.  And insult them for being from Arkansas.
