FYI everyone Bethenny was abused. She doesn't talk about it so you might not know.

?

[Martinigirl]

Did Luann say she's not going to Mexico because she got a room with the bathroom down the hall? LMAO! What a twat!

[ShawnaLanne]

I think Carole is speaking for all of us when she exclaims she wants Derinda  to be tipsy all the time.

I am not sure that these gals at this point know what exactly happened to Tinsley. Not just Beth, but all of them. After she said she had been both physically and emotionally abused, Lu said "all of us have been there, every single one of us". I still don't think they know what it is she is saying happened to her. 

[Sarcastica]

Dorinda gave me life in this episode. 

[QuinnM]

Hahaha, I'm watching the beginning a second time because it's just everything.

On another note I am glad I waited to see the whole exchange that had the slice of Bethenny telling Tinsley to follow the rules or leave.  It is not what was presented by the edit monkeys.  It made perfect sense in the conversation.  Luann saying they all had been there..  And another 10 points for Bethenny's team that she didn't rip Tinsley a new one when Tinsley said that none of their problems were made public.  Oh yeah?  Google me.  And really both Luann and Ramona had very public humiliations.  Tinsley is a little whiney bitch.  Grow up.  You're 41.

[Otherkate]

I will be laughing about Dorinda FORGETTING HER FREAKING BELONGINGS AND DRIVING ALL THE WAY TO VERMONT for weeks. WEEKS. And because John gave it to her too good. HILARIOUS. 

Favorite episode of this season for me.

No remember Bethenny and Carole discussing Tinsley fall from grace.  And I guarantee that if Bethenny didn't google it her staff did and they gossiped like crazy.

Ramona reading the text in the car:  I'm being the bigger person 

Sonja to her face:  Tuh! I wouldn't go that far!

Ramona to Luann:  there's not a malicious bone in my body.

Luann:  {{spit}} I wouldn't go that far.

Ramona to Dorinda:  why didn't you suggest another room?

Dorinda:  when you get here first you don't suggest shit.

 

Bwahaaaaaa!  I'm here for each time one of these chicks snatches Ramona's edges. 

It's becoming very obvious the women on the show arent Ramona's friends. And judging by her hair and styling, she has none off show either. 

[Pickles]

I am obviously in the minority. I thought Dorinda was crass and obnoxious at the Bronx lunch. I would have been leaving the table with Luann. 

[escatefromny]

Ugh! What an annoying episode.  Everyone's worst side was on display tonight.  

Dorinda is an absolute and total mess and everyone must know it.   This is a group that made a season long story line out of faux concern about Sonja's drinking.  Everyone is ignoring Dorinda's obvious problem.  She gets dead drunk, passes out (in the middle of the day)  then digs back into the hair of the dog upon waking.    She forgot to buy plane tickets for Lu's wedding then forgets her luggage??  No Dorinda, you weren't in a love stupor you were smashed or high.   And no Lu, she's not a "napper" she's a mess.

Speaking of  Lu,  really, Really, REALLY?!?!  It was so thoughtless of everyone not to save you a nice room because you just got  MARRIED.  I'd feel so much better if I thought she was putting it on for the camera but sadly, I think she is that delusional (?), entitled (?).  But points for personal appearance -  the contract between her sleek, elegant form and carriage during the  ping pong game to Moaner's bloated, spastic Telly Tubby was glaring.

Sonja, just shut up, really shut up.  

And fuck Bethany's snipe at Tinsely 'you want to know abuse just Google me' (and the multiple sob stories I've shopped for years).  Then Lu's "we've all been there", these ladies don't have a clue about what Tinsley has seemingly been through. 

I can't even with the room crap that Moaner is holding onto for dear life because it is the only thing she has close to a story line.

She was funny and entertaining for the audience but she was crass and obnoxious in a public place. I doubt anyone there cared though, they knew a TV show was filming.

I think she just hit her "Luann got married " breaking point. She had to let it out. 

[Otherkate]

I don't comment much on Tinsley because I know I have some preconceived opinions/notions about her from her time as an "It girl" here in NYC and I want to give her a chance. That said - I think it's a pretty terrible idea for her to chase this boyfriend/relationship thing as hard as she seems to be chasing it. Seems like she could benefit from a little time on her own to figure out who she is without a man. 

[12momine]

Love me some Dorinda!  Showed up drunk from the night before and still served Sonja her ass on a plate!

The new rule Is, "last one married gets the best guest room!" Why would Bethenny allow Ramona on this trip? I'm a lot like that and can ignore someone who "did me wrong," but that's setting herself up to be "eye-rolling" the entire trip! People are also having trouble with crazy Sonja who's still living with being excluded a season ago from the Berkshires! What sane person would bring that up in mixed company all this time later? ;-)

I worded that poorly. I think they know the basic story. About the fall from grace, the arrest, etc. I think they believe she was in an unproductive relationship where they both got physical from time to time. I don't know that they know that she feels like she was the victim of a physically abusive guy. That she is traumatized from the abuse. They think she is traumatized over a relationship that went sour and she needs to pick herself up by her brastraps and move on. I think they all think this at this point, with varying degrees of sympathy. Not sure I am making any sense. But I have probably pulled a bit of a Dorinda with the wine. Luckily I am typing and not talking so no subtitles necessary.

Boy, Sonja really tried to throw Dorinda and Ramona under Bethenny's steamroller tonight. She even said that she sent Bethenny copies of texts about them agreeing to partner with TG. Carole better watch out! Sonja is looking to be Bethenny's new rumor/lie and head cheerleader, her next target will Be Carole. LOL

Oh she was terribly crass, but it was entertaining as hell.   The fact that the producers played a scene like that right upfront in the episode was great.  It actually makes me forgive them for the misleading preview of Bethenney yelling at Tinsley.

I am Team Lu in her fight with Sonja, but she lost me with the bridal suite nonsense. 

The Lincoln Log house was gorgeous.  

Carol and Bethenney's amusement watching the crazy fights was hilarious.  

I remember Tinsley's arrest and I think there was some reference to physical abuse in follow up stories, but I don't know that it has ever been written about in great detail.  Still if she was a victim of domestic violence, then I hope that the ladies can be supportive.  Tinsley's a tad immature, but she seems kind and has an interesting story.  

Oh God Dorinda though.   Keep drinking Dorinda.....you're gold.  And in her talking heads, she is very pretty IMO.

A la Aviva's "I expected a party with a banner saying, 'YOU DID IT!'"

Was it like that? Cause that's sure what it sounds like! I laugh so hard....

[mbaywife123]

Did Dorinda just quote part of an ABBA song  "knowing me knowing you" at her lunch with dumb & dumber?

I'm dead!  Dorinda saying, I overpacked.  Left her luggage. Best episode ever. Doris needs her own show. And I need a disco ball to carry in my purse!

[Bronzedog]

I loved Bethenny, once again, mentioning that Ramona accused her of fucking her way to the middle.    Also loved her TH where she verified for all of us that Luann is the only woman to ever marry.

why did Dorinda take a mini disco ball?  It was the only thing of hers that made it to Vermont.

I didn't invite you to the wedding but you should know better and give me the best room. I JUST GOT MARRIED! 

WTF???????????

I'm SOOOOO glad someone (Bethenny?) said, "Well you didn't invite us."  bwaaaaa HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Combining this show with taking the day off tomorrow and drinking (almost) as much as Dorinda was the best decision *I* ever made.  I had a blast.

And no matter how Dorinda acts, yes, to me she's utterly stunningly beautiful.

I have to admit, Carole was hilarious this episode.  Drinking Dorinda in and just loving every minute. Hahahhahaha

"I only ski in Aspen." You decorate from the discount table at TJ Maxx GET OVER YOURSELF RAMONA.

You might just win the internet with that comment tonight.  Genius.

[Duke2801]

OMG. Dorinda was on the Hot Mess Express tonight for sure. Straight from the Bronx to Vermont. And I was LIVING for it. I still cannot believe she left her luggage in New York!? Wth did she wear? How did she brush her teeth?? So many unanswered questions...

That's almost as bad as her not buying a plane ticket to Palm Beach AND forgetting her bridesmaid dress when she got to Lu's wedding venue. What is this woman smoking??? LOL

And speaking of Lu's wedding.... Oy enough already already, woman. Her line of thinking that she should get the nicest room because she's a newlywed was absurd! I was actually laughing at Bethennys TH response about it. 

That reminds me... I almost found Bethenny likeable this episode. Or maybe just because it was because everybody else was off the hinges--she came across as reasonable and low-key (well low-key for her).

Dorinda and I are close in age. How the hell is she always getting drunk to the point of constant hangovers and passing out? Holy shit I wouldn't be able to work or anything. She must not be very busy.

[QuinnM]

I'm very concerned about Dorinda's bags sitting out front of her home in the Berkshires.  I need to know if she got her stuff.  Does she need a bite guard for sleeping?  How will she remove her make up?

I gave up my prosecco during the weekdays and I've never missed it more than while watching this episode.  I would've made an exception had I known the infamous Tipsy Girl was going to an issue again.

I love, love, love drunk Dorinda. She makes a complete fool of herself but she manages to be funny. 

Yes!!! I know she was loud and obnoxious and probably embarrassed the heck out of herself by that public scene of drunken stupor, but as a viewer of this show, I think she was funny as he$$. 

I do think that that slimy guy was after Dorinda and John saw the opportunity and tried to drag Dorinda on his ventures, luckily for Dorinda she knew better than that.  Dorinda was very loud and clear about her non-involvement but she sure wasn't defending John. 

Bethenny has a clearer picture about how the Tipsy girl came to be, she knows that Ramona was actively pursuing it, John probably too, Dorinda didn't want any part of it and Sonja just made a stupid mistake.  I think she said it best when she placed the blame of the slimy guy, he was trying to break into the market by using a RHNY and it just didn't work for him. 

[12momine]

Kiss the ring. Light that disco ball. Back that shit up. CLIP!

And that is why, no matter what Mrs. D'Agostino claims, she will always consider herself to be a countess. Lol.

Carole had the best line in her TH when she said that Luann really had changed since getting married, as previously she would have loved to have a random man in her bathroom. Give it time, Carole. 

Wow, I kind of wrote off Dorinda's last drunken tirade against Sonja as an unfortunate incident, but nope. She is worse that I ever remember Drunk Sonja to be. Wow. Though Sonja does seem happy to push her buttons. Did she ever produce the text that she claimed to have on her phone? But ya, Dorinda is entering Kelly of RHOC territory. Not a pretty sight.

Sonja: Maybe she'll forget. Is she drinking yet?

I don't know but did Sonja try to sing "to the left, to the left" and made it was so off base that you can't be sure she's ever heard the song?

[Wendy]

Luann back to her Countess arrogant behavior, reminding everyone why she should have special treatment. 

The only time I have liked Luann is when she dared to be herself when she was single and ready to mingled and made no apologies about being a woman on the prowl. 

This whole charade about being so proper and prim is not the real Luann.  Or maybe it is which would make it even more disappointing. 

[bagger]

Soooo, soooo much Dorinda total MVP

she won all real housewives franchises!!!

Close second were Bethenny and Carol for the sheer delight on their faces regarding dorinda's antics.

 

watching again

[chewycandy]

I strangely loved Luann's "it's time to wakies-wakies!" to Dorin. And that moving out means finding a man to house you. Of COURSE

I think she is a professional with lots of experience! 

I wonder if she always drank and partied like that, or if maybe she started it as a reaction to Richards death? Something to numb the pain.

I think she was super funny tonight and didn't come close to the line of being mean.

I will never understand how Dorinda can be, even remotely, considered a beauty. 

I understand your point however, I'm one of those people who occasionally (through out my life) will see someone who I find very sexy, while all my friends are saying "huh? Are you crazy?"  And Dorinda is one of those odd looking people whom I find sexy. I like her nose and that it's natural. Like Alexis Bellino from RHOC.

Ok...my weirdness and I are going to crawl back under my comforter! Lol

[Box305]

I made a gif of Dorinda's "Clip! Clip! Clip!" moment and I can't stop watching it. 

[bagger]

Bethenny' si can hear you bitch when Ramona says no to skinny girl whatever she was offered made me spit my drink out. Soon followed by dorinda's drunken "I've been drinking it all day, it's delicious"

That is what I thought too.  

Someone commented about Dorinda passing out, in the middle of the day, in Vermont.  IF I had just drove myself all that way, I would need a nap too.  I find travel draining.

LOL at Sonja doing her old lady walk after getting out of the car.  That is exactly how I am when riding very far.  Everything stiffens up.
