Really Lou? That's what passes for funny? I'll take a pass.

I’ll pass with you.

[Steph J]

I never thought I'd miss the cabaret act, but the "comedy" show (which we've now visited twice - which is enough Andy) makes me long for the days of Lu's warbling.

Maaaaaan I bet the show is glad that this wasn't the year Lu decided to Halloween as Diana Ross.

[Chicklet]

Maybe we will get lucky and the zombies will eat Dorinda.

[Neurochick]

This reminds me of a place called "Times Scare."

Is Dorinda drunk yet? 

Is Dorinda jealous of Tinsley or something?  Why the fuck does she care who Tinsley fucks?

This fun house, lame as it was, is already better than the entire season of RHOBH 

[Straycat80]

These women need to get a life and stop worrying about Tinsleys. I think they are jealous Tins has a guy and they don’t.  

[LibertarianSlut]

I hate watching Luann plan a cabaret show.  I hate the sound of her manager’s voice.  This display reminds me of Bethenny selling real estate with Fredric Eklund in season nine.  Totally boring.  Sonja found a cheap soul sister in Luann.  Sonja had a good talking head that Luann isn’t funny.  True story.  Those comedians completely sucked.  I have no idea what kind of person pays to see “Marry, F, Kill.”  I couldn’t be paid money to watch it.  

That was a really long scene of watching seven women get scared.  It’s the kind of thing that doesn’t work secondhand.  Can this show not find a happy medium between drunken  screamfests and scene filler?  And where was Bethenny crying?  I was looking forward to seeing that.  

Luann, it is rich that you feel left out because Tinsley didn’t tell you she was back with Scott.  How about the fact that you kept the fact that you split from Tom off the reunion and Andy had to trek all the way out to your house in Sag Harbor three years ago and give you your own little post-reunion?  That’s called comeuppance.  Love, your former fans.  

[Hangin Out]

They all meet up, sit down and order drinks.  Drinking is the main focus of this show.

[Chicklet]

Dorinda we would like you to disappear. Please.

[Neurochick]

Dorinda, I'd really like to make YOU disappear.

[Steph J]

"I'm not judgmental."

Oh Dorinda. How were you not struck by lightning when you said that?

[FlyingEgret]

Dorinda congratulating Tinsley by saying she can finally check out of the hotel is so judgmental (no matter what she claims...)

[SuprSuprElevated]

100% unadulterated, green monster, jealousy.  

[Straycat80]

Dorinda is such a nasty bitch. I hope you’re happy in Chicago Tinsley, I know you won’t miss these jealous so called ‘friends’. 

[nexxie]

Wow, what a bunch of jealous losers!

[Neurochick]

Is Sonja stuff really in Century 21?  I haven't been down there in a long time.

[RedDelicious]

Tinsley fights back like a whiny fifth grader though. I can’t. All she announced was that she and Scott were back together and she was probably moving. Dorinda was out of line but it’s not like Tinsley announced her engagement. All she said was they were “on again.” As opposed to off again. Which has happened how many times. Ugh.

[SuprSuprElevated]

Sonja has never looked worse in my opinion.  Overworked face, overweight, over overed.

[Ohiopirate02]

Is Century 21 still the NYC version of TJMaxx?  

[TexasGal]

When the “friend”* is the most likeable person on the show, there’s trouble. 

*Except for that one season where Lu got demoted and was the greatest and got her apple back.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Dorinda proclaiming that she's not judgmental is the first good laugh I had all week.

Delusion, they name is Dorinda. 

[Axie]

Dorinda certainly didn’t make it nice tonight.

[Wicked]

I really really really hope Tinsley has found happiness with Scott.  I hope she rubs her happiness in all of their faces.

[Legalbeagle421]

I wonder who will be the group's next victim now that Tinsley's escaping. 

[Golden Girl]

This is just uncomfortable to watch. Poor Tinsley!!  Thank goodness for Leah. I haven’t seen anyone act as mean as Dorinda since I was in the sixth grade and Ramona is a typical mean girl sidekick. They are just a gaggle of 60-something mean girls. 

[Hangin Out]

Oh, Tinsley is “ overkill” , but Dorinda is not.  That’s rich.  They are all so scared of Dorinda that they are making fun of Tinsley and Chicago.  Not one of them has the guts to cross Dorinda, and that is sad, except Elise.

 

[65mickey]

Of course they're jealous. Luann married a loser and was married 6 months before filing for divorce. Dorinda most likely was dumped by John. Sonja and Ramona old hags chasing after men in bars. Then they see Tinsley engaged to a wealthy man. She is happy and planning the life that she wants They are all green. 

[Neurochick]

Did Dorinda just tell Ramona to be kind?  Really Dorinda?  You wouldn't know kind if it peed on your leg.

I don't know how I feel about this comment.  Is "old hags" ageist?

I usually don't like comments that women just HAVE to be jealous because another woman has a man.  I've seen Scott, he's no prize.  BTW, is Tinsley married yet?

Ramona's annual birthday party is getting annoying. They could save time and money and just re run that last few years where they argue over who is her BESTSEST girfriend and jealous and all that crap.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Oh, for God's sake. Dorinda trying to give anyone lessons on "kindness." She really loves thinking she is some kind of generous benefactor. 

Edited June 12, 2020 by eleanorofaquitaine

[Straycat80]

I’m on Moaners side on this one. If you don’t want to share your birthday party with someone you shouldn’t have to. Shut up Dorinda. 

[whydoievencare]

Oh Dorinda!  Admonishing Ramona to be kind when she's given the chance to be, but Dorinda tries to annihilate Tinsley whenever they are together!  Does Dorinda not get how horrible she's being?  She's certainly not being kind!

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Stop. complaining. Dorinda. 

[Adeejay]

Just when I start to believe these women can't get any worse, they surprised me.  What Dorinda, Sonja, Luanne and Ramona did to Tinsley was downright cruel.  I cannot get over Ramona saying that Dorinda told her to ignore Tinsley and that she had to in order not to get on her bad side.  Then for Dorinda to say that she was going to give Tins a turkey baster so she could finally have the baby she wanted, wow just wow.   

[Mr. Miner]

MFK looks DOA! No thanks! 

[Maire]

I love when Sonja gets around free food. She really goes to town!

[Thumper]

I thought Century 21 was a real estate company.

 

[FlyingEgret]

So according to Dorinda, Ramona should not be the center of attention at her own birthday party.  Interesting spin on that tradition...

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Leah clearly still wants to be with Rob. 

[Stats Queen]

Dorinda, 

You are a vile, nasty despicable excuse for a human being.

I hope Tinsley sends Dorinda a “You’re not invited to my wedding, but you are invited to still at home drunk and miserable” invitation.

So disgusted and disappointed with Ramona, Sonja and Luann.

[LibertarianSlut]

I’m completely nonplussed about Tinsely’s engagement that didn’t happen yet and her announcement of moving to Chicago.  She kept it off the show, so I don’t care.  I can only imagine her co-stars feeling that way x20.  It’s like, if you didn’t care to tell anyone about it, then...they have every right not to care about it.  

I think they had the wrong motivations.  I think they were jealous, which is ugly.  I think Ramona not congratulating Tinsley because Ramona was finally back in Dorinda’s good graces and she was afraid to piss off Dorinda was not just ugly, but insanely childish.  But if I had been in the same situation as them, I would have the same reaction—“oh, you’re getting married and moving away?  Ok, good.  Have fun with that.”  I would wish that person the best.  But if we’re not friendly enough for you to tell me things ahead of social media, I’m not going to celebrate you in the way you deem fit.  

It was like Teresa with the tabloids in season four of RHNJ.  All of Teresa’s friends/co-stars were wondering over and over why Teresa was giving interviews to the tabloids that she and her husband might be going to jail, but Teresa refused to discuss it with anyone on the cast.  Ok, then, good luck with your legal case and I’ll see you around.  How can anyone be there for you if you don’t bring them in, right, wrong, or indifferent?

To the extent that Ramona, Luann and Dorinda kept their arrangements with Mario, Alex/Tom and John, respectively, off the show, I also don’t give a damn what went on.  Luann kept her divorce private for all of season two.  But she didn’t ask for attention for it once it came to air, so that was pretty fair.  Other than hiding the fact that she and Tom were divorcing, Luann got dragged about Tom for all of season eight and half of season nine because she put it out there for TV.  If Tinsley is going to withhold info because of some wish for privacy or something, then she doesn’t get the big hearty congratulations on air that she thinks she deserves.  I think she gets an “attaboy” and then we move onto something more interesting.  Next!

I thought Dorinda’s cracks about moving out of the hotel and hoping that Tinsley liked Chicago to be kind of funny in a twisted way.  She wasn’t being brutal or especially cruel, she was just being a bitch, kind of the way Luann laughed that Carole had no kids when Luann and Carole were fighting about Adam in season seven.  Part of what made it funny was that Luann spent no time with her own kids.  In the same vein, that type of immature dig about someone having to leave New York and move out of a hotel because they’re moving in with a Chicago millionaire businessman is not punching down, so I thought it was fun snark coming from Dorinda for a change.  

[eleanorofaquitaine]

I mean, I guess good for Ramona and Lu for reaching out to Tins re Scott.  But quite honestly, they should stop following Dorinda's lead and recognize what a heinous, narcissistic bully she is.

Nope.

I remember when they opened downtown right after 9/11.

[Chicklet]

Hell yea hit the road Tins and leave these "bad bitches" behind, they aren't happy for you.

And Ramona cares this much -><- yep as she gives her 2 minutes of her time before her date.

She's quite the piece of work.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

I mean, why would Tinsley stick around New York? To take more abuse from abuser Dorinda? To be ignored by the other women who are just too afraid to stand up to Dorinda? Go live your best life in Chicago, Tins. 

Edited June 12, 2020 by eleanorofaquitaine

[Straycat80]

Tinsley, RUN to Chicago, do not go to Lu’s party, there will just be more alcoholic fights and Dorinda will just say more shit to upsets you. Is this why Elyse was brought into the show to fill the void of Tinsley being gone? 

[Hangin Out]

LuAnn usually remains neutral.  Now, she is even under Dorinda’s spell.  WTF?  Dorinda is in every scene it seems.  She has to put her two cents in everything.

[Mr. Miner]

Dorinda is sucking the life out of this show. She was my favorite, now she’s just a bitter asshole.
