Bethenny Frankel: Skinny Girl

[Bossa Nova]

I re-watched Season 10 over the weekend too. When they went to Cartagena, Columbia.

Its chronicled Beth's and Carole's friendship demise. 

Beth's meltdown on that trip was insightful. Revealed all her layers of dysfunction.

Even Carole in one talking head said, I don't understand why Beth is so upset - she has a great career, a daughter, a business,....what is the matter. And she added: (paraphrased): this is what happens to her when she is not in control and not the center of attention. 

Not taking sides on the Beth - Carole friendship death, but it was insightful.

Did they fall out? I know they had a show together I didnt watch, Is it still on? 

Bethenny treated Fredrik pretty terribly during Bethenny & Fredrik. She insulted him and impugned his character. He said he'd never work with her in that capacity again. I think they took a prolonged break as friends, but seem to be friendly again. I suspect he might be hesitant to represent her in a real estate transaction.

This just revealed a lot about both of them.

Carole’s love of huge tasseled earrings will not be forgotten…

What was this specifically?  Was it just that the show turned out so bad, or was it her undermining him as a realtor?  Or did she actually say specific things?  Thank you.

It's Bethenny so there was a lot of screaming and insults. She called Fredrik a liar and a snake who was trying to bleed her dry. It was an unnecessarily nasty way to deal with the conflicts they were having over budget issues.

[Jextella]

Bethenny likely has way more money than Kelly Bensimone, but I find great humor and satisfaction watching Kelly take famous people on tours of houses valued at nearly 30 million dollars.

The filters on that video are doing a great job.  She looks great there compared to how she looks on The Big Shot.  She is not aging well.  Her body looks good and fit but the thin skin on her face with no layer fat makes her look easily 60.  What the hell she is doing here is beyond me. 

[Stats Queen]

If she’s doing this on social media to distract from the overwhelming number of negative reviews and criticisms her new show, Big Shot with Bethenny (or whatever it is called), I think this was a gigantic fail that only highlighted how horrible she is as a human being.

If she was a good business person, she would know how to connect with others and make them feel you can relate to them. She has no charisma or any desire whatsoever to try to understand anything from someone else’s perspective or situation. She just cares about herself (and Brynn as an appendage of her)

You are absolutely correct. I love your post.

On her show this woman also said that it's stupid for women to hide what age they are.  But I guess it's okay to have your jaw shaved or whatever.  That's the normal thing to do.

I only just realized that must be Bryn’s legs behind her. Bethenny’s on her knees, you can see it at the end. Weirdo.

My anthropologist (and a bit of wine) look: A skeleton emerges from the water… her ring on her left hand, bracelets on the left hand, and earrings seem to be weighting her down, but yet she emerged.

This just after announcing the launch of her "new" wine that has been around since at least 2013.

I suspect her podcast will be next to go. She will of course claim that iheartradio was trying to shackle her. (perhaps by suggesting that letting the guests speak may keep listeners tuned in)

Is there a single bridge that she hasn't burned?  Who can believe anything that comes out of her mouth? 

Happily, her fans will continue to admire her from midnight until 4 am on HSN.

 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

The Big Shot with Bethenny was simply a terrible show.  It was unwatchable.  She ranted and raved, yelled about people swearing, then went into expletive laden rants. Fired people for no reason, then brought people back.  It was a mess.  So both viewers and critics hated it.  It's not because she was stifled.  It's because it was terrible.

I left a very big, high, seven-figure contract recently with my partners at MGM and Mark Burnett because I had a good relationship with them, but I didn't want to be locked up.”

Nothing says great relationship like breaking a contract! She will never change.

"Before the debut of HBO Max’s The Big Shot, which offered contestants a chance to be Vice President of Operations for the lucrative Skinnygirl brand and more, Bethenny Frankel exclaimed to Us Weekly: “This is the biggest show with the biggest budget, with the biggest partners and the greatest streamer, so stakes are very high, but it’s too good a show. It’s too big to fail.”

I had posted this in the Big Shot forum, but of course it's become defunct.

Yesterday on her Instastory Bethenny was saying "Don't worry I'm developing one of these sort of hybrid toaster type things for you too. I just gotta perfect it"

It's a toaster oven, Bethenny.

Folks,

While there is certainly a parallel between The Big Shot with Bethenny and The Apprentice, if you would to discuss that you must discuss it based on the shows only.  Do not reference Donald Trump as a politician.  His actions and behaviors on his show are fine to discuss.  Outside of that we're getting into politics.  Thanks.

Isn’t she kind of late to the party on this one?  Ninja Foodi kind of has the market cornered at this point.  I, myself, just bought one of their hybrid grill / air fryer machines a few weeks ago and I was like the last person I know that didn’t already have something of the sort.   I mean more power to her, but it’s not like people are hoping and praying for this from her.  What’s next?  A single serve coffee machine that will just blow your mind?

Yes.  I was a big Bethenny fan  back in the day - RHONY of course and even the spin offs like Bethenny Gets Married.   But that was a long time ago.   I only got through two or three episodes of The Big Shot before bailing, and I'm that person that will finish almost any show to the end.

I loved Bethenny at the very beginning when she was selling her cupcakes, and was really rooting for her. When she returned after her talk show was cancelled she just morphed into some sort of egotistical beast.

It’s crazy to me after watching the early seasons these past few weeks, how chill she was.  And no matter how much she would prefer to switch the script about her marriage, she was in love and happy with Hoppy at one point.  To the point that it was like watching a completely different person!

Exactly! I know that RHONY days etc. were a long time ago and a nasty divorce that took twice as long as the marriage lasted had to have an effect on her but the Bethenny on The Big Shot was unrecognizable to me from that woman.

CHEATER BRAND!!!

[PrincessPurrsALot]

In Bethenny's "hybrid toaster type thing" video, it looks like she is warming up a huge pile of shit on a tortilla topped with cheese.  The cheese has not melted.  A few things here.  First, your hybrid toaster type thing is not very good if the tortilla looks dried out but the cheese hasn't melted. Second, you consider yourself so media savvy but you didn't pick something that looks more appealing? This is probably refried beans but it looks like human feces.  Mmmm . . . . toasted shit . . . .who wants a bite? 

I also enjoy that she starts by saying "Don't worry. I'm developing a hybrid toaster type thing for you".  Was anyone worried that they couldn't find a toaster oven?  Is there a worldwide toaster oven shortage of which I am not aware?  Are people begging on the streets for toaster ovens?  All right, I have now put more thought into this than she likely has.

Okay, I have to confess. Throughout this entire pandemic the only thing that has had me worried is "when will someone finally come up with a hybrid toaster type thing"!? I lost many nights sleep over it.
