S12.E21: Viva la Dysfunction

[AttackTurtle]

That was the most low key finale since the first OC finale that I’ve seen....until the last two minutes.  I kept waiting for the meltdown and was wondering if they’d cut it, but the “WOW”!  That shit just came out of nowhere.  At some point, Dorinda decided that she is the head honcho of the show.  There were some shades of “Vicki” entitlement in that speech about Tinsley breaching her contract and ruining the show.  She should be thanking Tinsley for leaving as she saved Dorinda from a good ten more embarrassing attacks on Tinsley.  

I can only imagine the scenes that John and Hannah have experienced with Dorinda.  She doubled down on her behavior on social media; hence I’m dying to see what transpired on the reunion.  
 

Dorinda has some good moments, but I could never fully endorse the Dorinda love.  The nasty outburst against Heather in her first season set off alarm bells.  
 

Dorinda needs to come to terms with the alcohol.  Her M.O. is to always deflect (Luanne’s arrest, Ramona going out...) to others.   I know she’s hanging with Bethenny and I sincerely hope that Bethenny is addressing the issue with her behind closed doors.  
 

I don’t need to see Dorinda on my screen anytime soon.  And I don’t want them to drop Ramona, Luanne or Sonja.  I know Ramona gets on people’s last nerve, but I love that she’s the longest running howives and not Vicky.   Sonja’s last couple episodes have been good.  It could be fun to add a couple of younger girls to mix it up between older/younger.

I rewatched the final scene where Dorinda loses it again. One second she is laughing and hugging everyone and then Leah says the T word. Immediately Dorina goes berserk  screaming profanities spitting in people's faces and stomping around like a linebacker. I think the reason she got fired is that her anger come out of nowhere and she becomes unhinged. There are scenes where she came close to  assaulting  Sonja and Luann and someone at Bravo figured she was too much of a liability.  I'm just wondering if her mother, sister and daughter haven't tried to intervene. And please no more excuses that she is still in pain from not healing from Richard's death. It's and excuse not a reason from her deplorable behavior. 

Yep, plus, I think the nail in the coffin was when she told Tinsley she would give her a turkey baster to get pregnant.  That was the clincher for Andy.

[Hangin Out]

I am shocked that Dorinda had the balls to go to the reunion.  Some don’t.  That’s how arrogant she is.  Like @AttackTurtle said .. she thinks she was the head honcho of the show.

Question:

Why is Dorinda freaking out about Tinsley leaving the show mid season, but perfectly fine with Bethenny quitting the night before filming started?

Apparently she’s o.k.  She was with Bethenny in the Hamptons I heard, on a boat.

Oh, I'll bet she is. Two angry, bitter women, probably spending their day hating on a woman younger, prettier, and happier than they are. 

Forget money not buying class, it can't buy love, either. That has to start within you and then grow outwards. Dorinda is too angry and B is too bitter, and they hate Tinsley for all the hope and optimism she still has, along with her youth and beauty.

That finale was boring AF. I can't remember a season with fewer stakes. There was no plot. I'll be honest - the only time I looked up from my computer was when Dorinda went batshit over Tins in the last 4 minutes. And that's the problem in a nutshell. Dorinda's drunken rant shouldn't have made it anywhere near final cut, but this season was a dud, so a sad descent into madness that should have been left on the cutting-room floor, along with Dorinda's contract, became the whole focal point. That's pathetic, and Bravo knows it. They're not thrilled Dorinda gave them a season, they just had to put something on screen.

It's pretty bad when my choices are 'bored silly by NY' or "physically enraged by the evil gang-up on BH."

There's no way on this planet Tinsley breached her contract and then got the sendoff that Bravo gave her. They literally gave her a fairy princess storybook package. Even if she exited midseason, I would assume things were done by the book, or she paid back the remainder of a salary she didn't earn, or Bravo just paid her what portion was due her. Let's be real - Tinsley's leaving NY for Chicago and a life with Scott is the best, most organic plotline I've seen on a RH franchise this whole year. Tins brought some light and happiness to this season. I rewatched some earlier eps and those including her were so much easier to watch.

I smell a major recast coming here and on BH. But they better not make it all Leah clones, otherwise I gotta bow out. The divas are dead. Viva La Diva!

Because Dorinda wants Bethenny's approval. Also, as others have mentioned, she probably assumed that Bethenny leaving vacated a position to make herself the queen bee of the series.

That's exactly what I kept thinking - the chairs were folding chairs and it was so bright.  I thought her "Caberet" show was in dark clubs - or at least that's where it should be.   The "singing" was so bad (as usual) it's hard to believe Luann thinks she can actually sing.   Sorry to see what a downhill slide Desmond Child's career has taken.   Yikes.

At this point, Luann's had at least 3 or 4 songs?  They must be played at clubs, downloaded, etc. because she wouldn't keep doing them and attracting producers like Desmond were they not profitable or successful.  

Same with her cabaret. The first tour did so well, that they developed & scheduled a second (which, like everything else, was disrupted by covid).  The show I went to back in 2018 in Royal Oak, Michigan was sold out.  It was hoot, everyone was up singing & dancing.

Might not be your taste but it's obviously working for her.

It was like a walkthrough show a test... kinda like plays have preview shows to work out any kinks and change dialogue or staging... it was just a run through to get a feel of how a audience would react before premiering the show

Luann's speaking voice is just as bad as her attempt at singing. Plus that cackle at the end of every sentence is like fingernails on a blackboard for me.

I truly believe that at least part of the reason Dorinda was fired is because the other women were afraid of her and what she might do.  Maybe not Sonja but some of the others.

After seeing the last few minutes I think they fired her for ruining the footage with her rage about contracts.  That is breaking the 4th wall big time as they never discuss contracts on the show.  I'm not a doctor but Dorinda appears to have something chemical going on .  I'd bet the farm that she as well as the others take mood stabilizers and these drugs are not working and in fact are making them crazy with all the alcohol they consume.

I may be mis-remembering but I think Leah brought Tinsley to Martin at the beginning of the season. Might even have been first episode with the oh so natural “here’s my good friend Leah” intro of her to the audience by Tinsley as they meet up to work out.

In a talking head in episode 1, Tinsley said she met Leah "a few months ago" so they didn't have much history prior to filming.

Stop the presses!! DORINDA'S writing an advice book??? What the bloody hell??

STFU Dorinda.  Bow out gracefully. PULEEZ!!

I don't despise Dorinda. I feel badly for her. Her state of mind is not what it should be, and I find it sad more than anything - although a little terrifying at moments too. Working on a book might take the sting out of the situation a bit and that could be a good thing for her.

15 hours ago, Silver Bells said:

I get that Bravo put that scene of Dorinda going nuts because they wanted the fans to see the reason she had to go, but poor Tinsley and Scott.  They have to remember that humiliation forever?  The girl did nothing but be herself.  Now, she has to remember the hate Dorinda had for no reason.  Bravo should have thought of another way.  Is that the price you pay for being on t.v.?

If there is an upside to how poorly Dorinda treated Tinsley, it's that everyone felt badly for Tinsley.  Even those who don't care for her on the show empathized with her.  The other thing is that it kept Tinsley in the media.  She got free press - and good press (relative to Dorinda) even though she was gone.

Someone has probably already mentioned this, but Sonia saying that Tinsley is unfuckable. Not funny. Nasty. I’m really really tired of Sonja and how she thinks she is so funny.

[tranquilidade]

Dorinda used to be my favorite but her raging just makes me want to look away.  The only time I enjoy seeing her is in the talking heads segments where she is fresh and completely sober, witty and quick minded.  She said some really funny things this season. In the show itself she acts like a psycho!

As others have posted, Dorinda’s spewing vitriol about Tinsley is just bizarre and unwarranted.  I don’t even know if I want to see Tinsley at the reunion because I don’t want to hear Dorinda go at her again.  From episode one I watched Dorinda berate Tinsley again and again, for no reason what so ever.  Tinsley should have told Bravo that she could no longer take the abuse and bullying, and that is what it was.  Perhaps that is why Bravo agreed to let her go mid-season.  

How is it possible that Dorinda’s family watch these episodes and don’t question her mental status?   She needs therapy and medication.  I’m sure we will just see her double down on her behavior at the reunion.  I’m happy she is off the show and she is a Bitch with a capital “B”.

AMEN!!!! I'm tired of these women excusing her aggressive and cruel behavior by saying "she's in pain". No, she's not in pain , she's just a mean and angry drunk. Glad she got fired...hopefully the same fate awaits Ramona and Sonja....her Marry F, Kill remarks were gross and disgusting. Some friend she is to Tinsley saying she's ineffable...hope Dale heard that one.

I'm curious why Sonja can't sell the townhouse.  Either her price is too high, the location next to the garage is an issue, there are major structural repairs needed or there are  large liens against the property that would have to be paid.    I would not be surprised if she owed people lots of money.  However,  there is a limited and static number of townhouses on the upper east side and she should be able to sell it!  Something is wrong.

I’ve wondered that too. I think the parking garage may have some affect on the price. It may be noisy and there may be auto exhaust fumes that get into the house. Perhaps she put a good sized mortgage on the house when she worked through her bankruptcy. So you may be right about large liens on the property. She may be upside down once liens are satisfied and income taxes, if any, paid on the sale.

it would be so much better for Sonja to get out from under that burden but if she can’t walk away with enough to get a decent apartment she may be unwilling to let go.

[BrownBear2012]

I must comment on the apparent downfall of Desmond Child...this guy is legendary. He produced/wrote for so many great musicians, singers and now he's working with LuAnn??? Holy shit! I remember when he started as Desmond Child and Rouge back in the day. He has so many awards it's not funny. LuAnn cannot sing. All she does is talk/sing...her voice is awful. This cabaret schtick is so done...I personally cannot stand to watch one more caberet show...they suck and so does she. Also...could Bravo stop with drag queen parties already??? Almost every Housewives franchise has used drag queen parties as part of an episode and it's really boring and repetitive at this point. Move on.

Sonja is a hot mess. She thinks she needs assistants to look important.

I’m sure they do all the everyday grunt work. Walking the dog. Getting her laundry to the dry cleaners. Making appointments with contractors and being there while they are working as surely she wouldn’t want to have to sit tight and listen to the noise. Opening mail...yes. Surely she has to send someone out for ice (when she lived in the townhouse) because brown ice would make anyone sick. Also pick up her lunch. I agree with you in that it really doesn’t take 2 of them to keep her affairs in order. I think this is a vanity hiring. 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

I too am tired of drag queen parties.  No longer interesting or entertaining in any way.  Also, it was so well lit you could perform surgery in there.  Maybe they thought Dorinda might knife someone so they wanted to be prepared in case emergency medical procedures were needed? 

I would guess that Lu's show could be fun with the right crowd.  Sort of an everyone is in on the joke situation.  Her singing is bad and her comedic timing is not good but I still have a soft spot for her.  Her absolute cluelessness draws me in. 

JFC, Dorinda, put a sock in it.  Wow. Just a mention of Tinsley and she's out of control.  Someone on production should have a tranquilizer dart handy for when they need to take her down.  On these shows it's always the people who are the most critical of others that make the biggest asses of themselves.

The townhouse is listed at $10,750,000.00  It's not selling because no one with $10M wants to move to New York.  The listing photos look really pretty.  Also the parking garage goes straight down and the actual subterranean area would be to the left of her backyard. The building next to her is condo - it's Beekman Townhouse.  I looked at some of their units.

My sister found this place exactly one block from Sonja's at $6,795,000.00  It is on the other side of the street one block over.  That is a dump.

The turkey baster comment wasn't the final straw - there was a (very badly written) article that alleged that but Andy came out and said that it wasn't true. Page Six has alleged that Dorinda's removal was because she was just as horrible to the production staff as she was to her co-stars and it made her very difficult to work with. No one really knows. The only thing that seems 100% true is that it wasn't Dorinda's decision to leave.

The positives:

Sonja saying that she really wanted to work out with Leah, and Leah being so enthusiastic about helping her.  That was nice.

I also like Sonja's remodelling of her house.

Leah's Pat Field dress, not because I actually like the dress, but just that it exists.

Of course how amazing Sonja looks in her THs.

Sonja:  "We're not Sex and the City, we're not Absolutely Fabulous, we're fucking us."  (I assume).

Lu's singing was awful when she started singing "Happy Bu-hthday,"at Dorinda's party, if she was trying to imitate Marilyn Monroe it was a fail, MM did not sing HB like that.

I know someone like Dorinda, he is mean, has fits like a two year old if you do not think like him, storms off and screams insults, everyone runs when they see him, he is an under medicated bi polar person that has lost his friends...I get that none of the women want to be around Dorinda.

Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me"

- Animotion

I don't think that Dorinda necessarily wants to sleep with Tinsley, but those lyrics just keep running through my brain.  Woman's deranged.

I rewatched the final scene where Dorinda loses it again. One second she is laughing and hugging everyone and then Leah says the T word. Immediately Dorina goes berserk  screaming profanities spitting in people's faces and stomping around like a linebacker. I think the reason she got fired is that her anger come out of nowhere and she becomes unhinged. There are scenes where she came close to  assaulting  Sonja and Luann and someone at Bravo figured she was too much of a liability.  I'm just wondering if her mother, sister and daughter haven't tried to intervene. And please no more excuses that she is still in pain from not healing from Richard's death. It's and excuse not a reason from her deplorable behavior. 

I started laughing at "The T Word" and I haven't stopped
