sasha206 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 (edited) I know that Kristin is pretty but there is something about her that I find so not attractive. Maybe it's that way she sticks her teeth out and makes those animated faces. I loooooved Carole's talking head. "She's pretty and now she's smart..." or something like that. Carole defending Heather was cute. She's bringing back what I liked about her. I loved that Bethenny took Sonja to a *real* business meeting. That's the Bethenny that is fun to watch. And damn it, Ramona is making me like her. And she looks damn good for her age. Edited June 10, 2015 by sasha206 18 Link to comment

Popular Post lgprimes June 10, 2015 Popular Post Share June 10, 2015 I totally get Bethenny. I have friends. I don't necessarily need new friends. Just because I am introduced to a new person doesn't mean I need to make an effort to be their friend. My obligation as a person is to be polite and respectful. If a friendship naturally develops great, but I am not going to put an effort into developing one. Because I have enough friends that are eady and get me with no real effort. So I get that she met Dorinda and Carole and naturally feels comfortable, but doesn't have that vibe with Heather and Kristen and could care less. I DON"T get Proplw like Heather and Kristen who give a crap if somebody they just met likes them or not. Who cares? Move on!

Morbs June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 (edited) I love Dirty Martinis, and I was just googling Martini sets but I'm afraid I'll get way too drunk since I love the taste so much. I think it's so funny Bethanny ran away from Kristin and I don't blame her especially after Luanne started a fake confrontation with her. Luanne seemed even more butch than usual, maybe alcohol brings it out. Anyways, it was just so annoying how Kristin was obviously laying in wait and then had all those rehearsed lines. I would have thought Pop of Color was already trademarked too. I loved Dorinda just getting the fuck out of there. I'd rather have a housewife with that personality than Heather/Kristin/Luanne's bullshit. Carole is an idiot for stirring up trouble but at least she admitted it in her talking head. I've done the same thing, especially when I drink Dirty Martinis, so I can't blame her too much. Edited June 10, 2015 by Morbs 17 Link to comment

Carole quite the shit stirrer, what did you think Kristen was going to do with that information? No wonder Bethenny doesn't warm up to Heather and Kristen, they are annoying as heck and want to be around her only for air time and because they have no story line without her. On the other hand Bethenny has connected with Dorinda with no problem because she can tell that Dorinda is not as thirsty as Heather and Kristen. I loved the way Luann and Bethenny handled their conflict, Luann tried to kept it going, Bethenny called her on it, Luann admitted it, backed off and they kept in moving, no major fuss, no major drama. That is the way to keep it moving. 22 Link to comment
Popular Post ScoobieDoobs June 10, 2015 Popular Post Share June 10, 2015 (edited) What the fuckety fuck is going on with this show? I was mostly bored outta my mind for just about all of this ep. I'm not necessarily blaming Bethenny. Seemed like everyone was poking at her. Why did Carole have to tell Kristen what Bethenny said about her? And why did Kristen act like such a fuckin' lunatic with Bethenny? She seemed so desperate & self-absorbed. I see in the previews at least Moaner got that B is acting nutty cuz of all the shit she's dealing with in the divorce. Hmmm, B's divorce was public knowledge -- and yet Heather, Lu & Kristen couldn't figure that out? It pains me to say how much this show sucks now. I'm betting the ratings are gonna further plummet. I didn't like Carole's behavior as a shit-stirrer, but I guess she was egged on by producers & she is clearly willing to do whatever they tell her to do. Interesting that she revealed Heather is her best friend. And yet, Carole didn't act like it. She didn't defend Heather as strongly as a best friend would. She's not a great friend, is she? I can't knock Bethenny for wanting to like who she wants to like. She even kinda hinted she might admire Heather & might in time come to like her -- as Moaner describes that's exactly what happened between her & Heather. But B clearly hasn't changed her mind about Lu. She doesn't trust her. And she has good reason not to. Her motives are suspect. And she consistently acts slithery. So I don't blame B one bit for her reaction to Lu's "concern" for her. As far as Kristen? Why should B sit there & let Kristen attack her? I'd have done the same thing. WTF is Kristen doing on this show? There is no need for her to be there. But her hair looked nice. And her dickhead husband was still wearing that stupid hat inside. Man, I can't stand that guy -- even when he says nothing on camera, I still know what a dickhead he is. Wearing the douchebag hat inside says it all about his personality.

I despise Bethenny but I give her credit for apologizing....but she should have, so it's not that big a deal. I do think Heather could have reciprocated just to be nice, but if you watch the scenes, she couldn't get a word in. Bethenny just rambles endlessly. I don't think I can take much more of the poor Bethenny doesn't want attention story. She's fucking exhausting. I have anxiety just watching her for an hour.

Bethenny obviously doesn't want to be, I can understand that, they should just back off. Kristen wanted business advice from Bethenny. I know I would not want to talk shop after working all day. Leave me alone with my (in these women's case) martini. I'm glad Sonja got to see a real business meeting. I did not realize Skinny Girl was such a huge brand. I liked how they showed Bethenny can listen instead of speed talking like a loon. I like the relationship Ramona has with her daughter. 9 Link to comment

Mozelle June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 (edited) Oh, I knew I wanted to mention Carole's defense of Heather. I'm glad she spoke on behalf of her and was pretty chill about it, explaining how Heather means well. I really do enjoy Carole's friendship with Heather. It was interesting hearing Sonja speak about Bethenny's business meeting. I have a feeling that when the women were in London two seasons back, Sonja saw how Heather runs a business meeting (though all we, the viewers, only got that silly, "Say your name and what your favorite color is" moment). Heather's company is doing well, and I have to believe that her business meeting probably ran similarly to Bethenny's--take charge, let's get down to brass tacks and the lot type of discussion. Heather gets TV spots to talk about her brand and her product. I'm guessing that Sonja, though, because Heather became fed up and frustrated over the toaster oven and Sonja's general ungrateful behavior, has just decided that she won't credit Heather (a woman who actually has product in stores) for a single thing.

jkitty June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Everyone was so thirsty this episode! Kristin was the worst, but Lu was only one short step behind her. They were tripping over themselves to start shit with B for screen time. And Carole's (likely producer-ordered) snitch to Kristin felt desperate too. This episode really showed how hard they are all killing themselves to get next to the Queen B(ethanny). At this point, if Bethanny was wearing flip flops and cargo pants I feel like they would all buy flip flops and cargo pants. And is she punched them in the face they'd say it was awesome.

Cool they worked it out. Carol totally hurts Kristen by telling her what Bethenny said and thinks it will stop there? Loved Avery rolling her eyes at her mom and Ramona being "boy crazy".

ScoobieDoobs June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Bring back delusional Sonja. Ah, poor, poor Sonja. She wasn't even as enjoyable as usual in that boring seminar B took her to. Look, I've been to a billion of these things. I hate, hate, hate them. Yeah, they're filled with a zillion successful, sensible people who brag about their successes & sure, eager & ambitious young people can beg the pompous bores who usually speak at these awful things for jobs. Good luck with that. Ugh, they're always boring as all fuck & filled up to the wazoo with various blowhards & windbags. There are a bazillion of these things going on at any moment here in NYC. Well, all too obviously, Sonja was way out of her element in this thing & she knew it. A con artist like Sonja knows when & where she can spew her bullshit. And even she knew her bullshit wasn't gonna fly in this crowd. So sorry, B, in terms of being entertaining for us to watch -- taking Sonja to this bore-fest was a total FAIL. Do I blame you for this, B -- or Satan Andy for this lousy set-up? 6 Link to comment
LotusFlower June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I was happy to see Carole finally defend Heather. For a second I thought it wasn't going to happen because a) she was late; and b) I thought they were going to stop talking about it once she sat down. But thankfully it kept going, and Carole was able to chime in. What I didn't like was Bethenny telling her she was "wrong" about her best friend. Bethenny can certainly have her own opinions about Heather, but she can't tell Carole she's wrong about hers. Esp. when Carole knows Heather a lot better than Bethenny does. Did somebody say "abrasive?" Man. 21 Link to comment

Rahul June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I don't think Heather was nurturing at that dinner. Her behavior was overbearing and oppressive. I'm not buying her tears either. That was just a way to deflect and shift perception of her in the moment from being instigator to victim. B has Challah's number for sure. Disingenuous is the perfect descriptor for Heather (and I'm not just saying that because I used it in other threads). That being said, both Bethenny and Ramona have some colossal balls to talk about her like that when she's only a stones throw away at AXA or wherever the hell they were. Averys face looked airbrushed. Has she graduated to having her makeup professionally done for the show now? Not ragging on her appearance. She looks good. Beth cracked me up with her TH calling out the elitist bitch who said the other bar patrons were not their "kind of people" because they hadn't invested in vaginoplasty. Bethenny may have buttloads of money now but she doesn't think that makes her better than anyone else, and that's one reason I still like her. Bethenny: It's not that big of a deal. LuAnn: I know it's not that big of deal but what was the big deal to me was because of that you starting crying. (Read--that took way from my screen time) Be happy now LuAnn. You've wormed your way into an event that had nothing to do with you and are getting the screen time you're so parched for. Kristen: Can I interrupt now? LuAnn: No! (Read--it's still my slotted alone time with B) Everyone is so concerned with getting their time in with Bethenny so they can assure their scenes make the final cut. I wonder if they're aware of how desperate it's coming across. 22 Link to comment

Popular Post rehoboth June 10, 2015 Popular Post Share June 10, 2015 I thought this was a great episode. I loved the Ramona/Avery time and I don't usually like the kids being brought into things. Avery has always seemed like she's got her head screwed on just right and she makes me think that there is something good and decent under all of Ramona's crazy. I loved when Dorinda walked up to overhear that the girls were still rehashing the Berkshires and then turned right around and got out of Dodge. It is refreshing to see a sane person interacting with these crazies. Lastly, I loooooved when Bethenny walked away from Kristen. This should really be used more as a tactic on these shows.

Lizzing June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 This episode was so dull, I found myself on the Patent & Trademark Office website. So, just FYI, Kristen filed for "Pop of Color" and "P.O.C." to be trademarked for beauty products (including nail polish) on September 10, 2014. IIRC my intellectual property law class, she thus had a stake claimed on the trademark as of that date. It's since been approved and are her trademarks. Since this ep was shot in December, Kristen wasn't entirely wrong. She may not have been approved for the TMs at that point, but she had filed. Bethenny didn't wear me out this week like last week, but I agree with the posters that there was just too much of her in this episode. She was basically the through line that connected all the women's stories this week, aside from the Ramona/Avery scene. 10 Link to comment

Carole wasn't wrong. It might be the wrong direction for Kristen, who's suddenly clutching her pearls, but those names need to be clever! Or at least interesting. Carole's idea wasn't wrong, but she had no actual innuendo or wordplay. Nail polish names like that tend to be punny, not as overtly, directly sexual as Orgasm blush (which at least can be marketed as faking a happy post-orgasm flush). And then Carole did kind of devolve into more and more absurd dick jokes, but at least the other women at the meeting were laughing. I didn't mind Carole at that meeting, but she really was shitstirring at the bar. Luann first snaps "No" at Kristen about her joining Lu and Bethenny, but Kristen's umbrage is all directed at Bethenny? This is another clear personality clash (on both sides), where neither woman would look at the other by choice, were it not for the show. But Luann nailed it when she said that Bethenny ignoring Kristen entirely cuts more than B screaming in Heather's face. 6 Link to comment

lunastartron June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 The dynamic between Heather, Lu, and Bethenny was practically Kafkaesque. So Heather behaves as the aggressor in initiating the blowup with Bethenny (even if one accepts that she was just trying to be helpful during their first exchange, she incontrovertibly returned to and escalated their tension by declaring, apropos of nothing said by either Sonja or Bethenny, "I'm going to have to separate you two!" and the continuing to jabber), invades Bethenny's physical space by grabbing her without permission, and yet Bethenny apologizes, hugs Heather, and apologizes days later and *Bethenny* is still the villain? . . . After enjoying Carole for two episodes, I was starting to become physically uncomfortable watching her puerile sex jokes at the nail polish meeting. She and Heather really cannot play runtelldat with any degree of finesse. . . So Kristen is being boxed out by everyone and yet Bethenny alone is responsible? Yet again, she attempts to start enmity by sneering "I'm glad you took the time to Google me" and then can't stop herself from acting shocked that the person at whom she is launching a verbal grenade doesn't engage pleasantly with her. From her "why don't you ever bring home flowers" to "your boyfriend was too handsy with me," this seems to be a running theme of which she has no awareness. 17 Link to comment

They were tripping over themselves to start shit with B for screen time. And Carole's (likely producer-ordered) snitch to Kristin felt desperate too. This episode really showed how hard they are all killing themselves to get next to the Queen B(ethanny). At this point, if Bethanny was wearing flip flops and cargo pants I feel like they would all buy flip flops and cargo pants. And is she punched them in the face they'd say it was awesome. Thirsty. And as someone who was pretty neutral on Bethenny, and don't see anything special about her, I am starting to resent her. 12 Link to comment
Otherkate June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 (edited) Here's the thing about nail polish - and I know a lot of you here who buy polish or get mani/pedis will back me up! - a lot of the names have sexual inuendos. Carole wasn't wrong. It might be the wrong direction for Kristen, who's suddenly clutching her pearls, but those names need to be clever! Or at least interesting. Carole was the only thing that was remotely interesting about that sad Ricky's scene. Kristen is just beyond boring and nothing can save her. Not a million fights with Bethenny, especially when B won't even bother to engage. Honestly? I wouldn't bother either. I laughed when Kristen told her to "come back here!" and Bethenny said um, no. To quote Nene (sorry) "the thirst is real." I don't care if Kristen trademarked Pop of Color or not, but that is a remarkably overused term in both beauty and fashion. The first thing that came to my head was some campaign that Tide was doing a few years ago when I was working for a Bravo sister network. For weeks all we talked about was how to incorporate "Pop of Color" into the bumper for this show or that show. Not to mention the kajillion other times you'll see that term in any given fashion blog post or any single video from a YouTube beauty guru. Honestly I think any fashion editor worth his/her salt would steer a less experienced fashion writer from using that term at all costs, for that very reason. Cliche city. I was really happy that Carole stood up for Heather at the dinner. It makes my heart happy to know that she's not the kind of friend to abandon you when the waters get rough. Oh, before I forget, I have to comment once again on Josh managing to come off as a douchebag just by showing up in his outfit. The rolled jeans. Was he wearing a hat or did I imagine it onto his head? Edited June 10, 2015 by Otherkate 16 Link to comment
BlackMamba June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Bethenny make up your mind - do effin want attention or do you not! Least you recognize youre being as bad of dinner guest even if youre being sarcastic. And did I see the Owner of ArIZona beverages... You mean Urine beverages? 11 Link to comment
Rahul June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I can't believe Carole copped to stirring shit only to "move things along." It's like she was quoting the producers standing behind the cameras verbatim. 14 Link to comment
