Gah, the Palm vs. West Palm thing -- so snobby, Tinsley! So pitiful to make a false impression, Lu!

It's not real Palm Beach, I get that, but I also don't GAF. Underneath all of that there's this unspoken thing that somehow rich people (old money) are "better".  Stupid snobbery.

I've got to say I'm team Doris on the dinner thing.  Yes, I get Beth being annoyed that no one was there on what she thought was the time for dinner.  However, Beth went in hot with Doris and she was just one of six others that weren't 'on time'.  Doris told her to chill.  She was right but Beth didn't let it go.  She just continued on and on. 

I didn't see it as Bethenny attacking Dorinda for being late, as if she was the only one. I saw it more as she was venting about the situation, in general. I think she was just trying to get across the point that she was flabbergasted, because everyone ELSE was insisting SHE get to dinner. And then she does, and no one's there. Dorinda was right that it's vacation and just let it go, but she then went on to psychoanalyze why B was upset and I think THAT'S what made Beth so uncomfortable.

I can't be on Dorinda's side in that fight. She pulled the same shit with Heather. It didn't make any fucking sense and she never apologized for it. She did the same thing with LuAnn last year in the Berkshires and accused LuAnn of insulting her mother. Bethenny might be mean, but Dorinda does this drunken nasty belligerent asshole thing too often.

Yup. I love Dorinda 90% of the time. But when she's full-on wasted she goes right below the belt!

Can someone explain what Beth meant when she said, "You think that my suitcase isn't already perfectly almost packed on the way home? I know exactly who I am!"

I thought she was acknowledging Dorinda's point that she's "super" everything - a perfectionist, type A, always in control. And that she didn't need it pointed out at dinner.

The only thing I'm puzzled by is Lu's reaction to Palm Beach vs. West Palm Beach.  I'd think she would agree with Tinz & say WPB is not good enough for her.  After all, she was the one who seemed to be horrified at the thought of deigning to step into Quogue.  

I thought it was Sonja who didn't want to go to Qupgue.

I realize they are different places.  My point was that the airport one would fly into is Palm Beach, correct?  So, Luann saying that she's going to Palm Beach for the weekend is no different than me telling someone that I'm going to LA for the weekend when my hotel is actually in Santa Monica.  

Then again, for someone like Tinsley, the distinction is obviously important.  I wonder if they share a jail?

Bahahahaha! Your question made me laugh so hard. I do think your distinction about sharing an airport is all semantics.

Did anyone else catch Sonja's comment when she was in drunk make-out mode "Where's Lu? She's always down for a dance? Oh well I guess she can't now that she's married." Seems to be implying that she and Lu have done more than kiss.. On one hand, Sonja has been known to lie/exaggerate. On the other hand...(cue music from "Fiddler on the Roof")

The way Sonja was acting last night made me definitely think she's swam in the lady pond. MANY times. And likely with Lu. I think she was way too inebriated to do her delusional, exaggerating, "I had the Prince of Saudi Arabia on my yacht" BS. It just seemed like all barriers were let down.

There went Lu trying to go all stealth bitch on her when she kept saying "Oh you live with your mom there? Your MOM??" And then Tinsley just left her mute with a simple 'whatever' stealthier bitch sorta moment---despite her public fall from the highest of Manhattan's society scenes, Tinz's roots still run much wealthier and healthier than Lu's *ever* could hope to be.

If Lu came from a wealthy family, she would totally capitalize on that. I don't really see the difference between being able to visit Palm Beach/West Palm/King of all Palms because of your mother's home or your new husband's. NEITHER one of them have their own bought-and-paid-for place down there, correct?

That was interesting.  You could see the moment when the Countess made that comment with her voice raised, realized that it was not a gracious response, then took it down several notches immediately.  For all of her propensity for pretense, she has the most self-awareness (and ability to change her behavior on a dime) than any other housewife across all the franchises (that's just IMHO, of course!).

I know they have to do this for the "show" but dressing for dinner every night when it is just the girls seem so exhausting to me.  On our trips we just throw coverups or what ever on and stay casual.  I cant imagine dragging so many clothes on vacation and doing hair, makeup just to stay in and scream at each other.

On seeing naked 'ladies':  Sonja looked a whole lot sexier than Beth.  That's just my opinion as a woman.  Maybe a guy who likes oversized breasts would feel differently.

Seeing Lu and Doris putting a bathing suit on So was just....  Yeah, in one sense it was hilarious.  Especially since they were putting Beth's bathing suit on her.  In another sense, it was pathetic.

I get Lu telling Tins to stop with the 'f' bombs.  But Tins made a huge come back regarding Palm Beach.

I thought the fish tale was cute.  And apparently, after watching WWHL, no one figured it out.

I may not have interpreted the Dorindish properly, but I thought I heard her say that the initial reason she was upset was because when they got back from the tequila tour Bethenny said they were going to kick back and take it easy for the rest of the day; do what you want when you want, no stress, no obligations, just have fun, and then apparently went BSC on Dorinda because it was time for dinner. NOW.

At this point in my life (early 50's) I am so sick of watching tv and looking at fake boobs, fake hair, fake nails, fake eye color, fake lips, Botox, fillers, face lifts, butt implants, cheek implants, chin implants, ect., ect.

Reconstructive surgery no problem , but the rest of this nonsense has gone out of control, I wonder what archeologists decades from now are going think when they start digging.

I have often wondered about what archeologists in the future will think about all the plastic remains these kooks put in their bodies...

Bethenny seems to have taken the Skinnygirl thing too literal. She looked absolutely emaciated when she took off her suit and jumped in the pool- I paused the image for a second and you could clearly count each rib protruding through a thin layer of skin. She might look great in clothes, and is serious about being the representative of her brand, but, as a dietitian and self proclaimed healthy food chef, she must know how unhealthy it is to do what it takes to be that thin. 

There isn't a thing I disliked about this episode- even Ramona was entertaining in her own way. Ohhhhhhhhh, if only ALL the Housewives shows could be this authentic and awesome!!!!

Ahhhh Dorinda. Drunks are always sorry and crying about their behavior in the early morning aftermath of the next day.  I wish she would have just admitted to B that she gets nasty when she drinks and says things she doesn't really mean or even remember and she really needs to work on that but what she actually did was skirt around that being the real issue. Which is her drinking. As Lu said, some people are happy drunks, some are sad drunks, some are nasty drunks. We know which category Dorinda falls in to.

When Ramona hugs you and starts crying like a virgin who just had her first orgasm, that's when the danger is most real.

Even in Bethenny's attempt to be real and sincere she has to toot her horn. She bemoaned the fact that people are jealous of her success, and said something along the lines of ' she doesn't tell them some of the things she is doing because they will resent her and be more jealous'.         Maybe she needs to make friends with some women as successful as she is - oh, yeah- truly successful , wealthy women don't have to hawk themselves on reality shows.

Palm Beach is Old Money...it was built for the wealthiest people in America (people that we now call the 1%) in the 1920's.  The railroad had been expanded south to West Palm in the 1890's, and all kinds of people began taking winter vacations there.  It had something of a "Wild West" culture.  In the age before air travel, the rich loved the climate but wanted a place where they would only interact with peers.  So a guarded causeway was built, and Palm Beach became an isolated enclave.  In 1926, The Breakers opened - a huge, elegant hotel built for one and two month stays for people who were socially affiliated with the families that had homes there.  

Social life was private and centered on old-school clubs - the Bath and Tennis Club, Bradley’s Beach Club, the Everglades Club, and the Sailfish Club.  Membership was as dependent on pedigree as it was on income.  It was as waspy as waspy could get - Joe Kennedy moved there in 1933, and even he didn't make it into the inner sanctum - he was Catholic (I'm Catholic, too, and remember my parents saying they didn't think that JFk would win the election, because "America would never elect a Catholic"!!).

So West Palm was like a frontier town, and housed all of the people who worked for the wealthy families.  Hurricanes in 1926 and 1928, combined with the Great Depression, decimated West Palm.  The people that remained were domestic workers and small merchants.  After the second World War, the city began to grow, but still had many very poor neighborhoods.  In the 1990's serious redevelopment plans for the downtown area were done (I was on the design team - hence my freakish knowledge of area history!!!) and the downtown area became very popular.  Malls were built, old neighborhoods were razed and redeveloped, cultural institutions grew, businesses moved in, and the city had transformed into a desirable, diverse place to live, work, and vacation by the late 1990's.

Palm Beach hasn't changed much - it's still an enclave for the very rich who want privacy.  The "old guard" still runs the clubs, but all kinds of millionaires now live in the houses.  The Breakers has lost it's luster and exclusivity but has a nice beach and is worth visiting if you have the chance.  I found the shopping area kinda creepy - very pretty but not meant for me - life's too short to get the side-eye from customer service reps.  And if you're driving around in a beat-up car, especially at night, plan to get pulled over.

So yeah....saying that you live in Palm Beach when you actually live in West Palm is definitely a bit shady, misleading, and pretentious.

Are you sorry you asked??  Ha!!!!

Thanks for the history.   Here is a little article about the cities of Palm Beach:  http://www.movoto.com/blog/opinions/move-to-west-palm-beach/

Luann isn't saying they live in Palm Beach, she is saying they go to Palm Beach.  Palm Beach is also the name of the county where all the Palm Beach cities are-West Palm Beach, Royal Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Shores collectively known as the Palm Beaches.  The airport is known as the Palm Beach Airport, even though it is in West Palm Beach.  Luann's engagement party was in Palm Beach, her rehearsal dinner, the party at the Leopard Lounge, and her wedding and brunch were all in Palm Beach.  As for the social scene since when have we seen any of these women do the society circuit?  Tinsley seemed to hang out with Kelly Bensimon, Harry Dubin and some sleazy looking guy with a big ole sleeve tattoo when in Palm Beach.  It is kind of Bethenny and Tinsley that they attached so much importance to the proper name.  If I live a home in West Palm Beach and travel across the bridge for all my dinners and socializing (not society) then I was in Palm Beach.  In my opinion once these women become RH they have pretty much smoked running in the upper echelon of society.  Tinsley may have a foot in the door but she worked very hard to get there.

I think the issue is Tinsley dropped big hints, even going so far as to ask why people were talking about a wedding only one person was invited to and mentioned she would be in Palm Beach for her legal matters at the time of the wedding. The courthouse is in West Palm Beach.  I do believe Tinsley was angling for an invitation and Luann didn't bite.  Since Tinsley continues to raise the issue the non-invited issues-she is the dead horse beater.  Now if Luann were dropping Mar a Lago and going to the Red Cross Ball, then maybe they would have some cause for concern.  She just isn't. 

Most of all Bethenny needs to stop just stop telling people what they can and can't talk about.  She is the one who claims her real friends wouldn't say this or that to her-well real friends don't continually criticize a friend's conversation.   Bethenny who is oh so aware of location claimed they left the city when they went to the Bronx.  The Bronx is in NYC and virtually every blogger commented on her ignorance.  She did the same thing with Jules and her home in Watermill-it is still considered the Hamptons just as Luann's home in Sag Harbor is considered the Hamptons.  Bethenny doesn't say Southampton she says the Hamptons when talking about her home.

I so agree. She's a great listener! And it shows that while she IS good friends with B, she's not slavishly loyal to her. She can have other friendships. She is her own woman. 

 

Yea, and I am totally with Dorinda on that. But, at the same time, I think BETH wanted to go relax in her room, take a bath, and she said the others were badgering her about going to dinner. So she acquiesced, made the effort, showed up.....and once again sat around waiting. For the very people who pressured her to come. I don't know if Dorinda was one of those people, and if not - B should have dialed her venting back a bit. But that's what I saw her as doing, venting about the frustrating of being begged to do something and then everyone else fiddle farting around. 

Also, I have to wonder about the staff. Are THEY told dinner is at a certain time? How easy is it for them to serve dinner when people just trickle in whenever they please? I get that it's vacation, but there has to be a happy medium somewhere between a rigid schedule and total lack of awareness of other people. 

According to Bethenny on WWHL last night, the only one that told her it was time for dinner was Carole and she told her that to help extricate her from the clutches of molesting drunk Sonja! So, no one pressured Bethenny to come to dinner other than Carole. LOL

Lu says Palm Beach for the reason Tinsley said.  Palm and West Palm are two different animals.  Tom lives in West Palm Beach.  They can hang out in Palm Beach but they're living in West Palm and that's their destination.

I don't get the airport 'connection' as an excuse.  For example, many people who travel to NYC come in through Newark International Airport in NJ.  They wouldn't say they're going to Newark, NJ.  They're going to NYC because that's where they're staying.

Then they were probably being literal.  Even New Yorkers who live in the other 4 boroughs refer to Manhattan as "the city" - like, the mainland.  They know all 5 comprise New York City.  She didn't create that people refer to Manhattan as THE city, as in Sex and The City.   It probably is legit shady but anywhere else in NY is an outer borough or upstate.

But if she were trying to distinguish her house from Jules in that way, wouldn't she do it by town name?  Her house is in Bridgehampton and Jules's house is in Watermill.  She can't geography-shade her, both are in Southampton.   Now that isn't to say she and Carole weren't rude, they were downright shitty - about how far out they had to drive just to have a schmear and renovations (?) and some other thing (memory nudge if ya'll can think of it).   All that was bad enough, but it wasn't a class thing.

Ya, I also think that many international airports are not actually in the city which bears their name due to the amount of land needed for an airport. Just off the top of my head, Vancouver International Airport is in Richmond and Toronto's Pearson International Airport is in Mississauga.

It was incredibly uncomfortable to watch Sonja be a messy drunk.  I can’t say my opinion of her decreased  because quite honestly it isn’t that high to begin with  but to see her spreading her legs in her bathing suit, grabbing her crotch and being sexually aggressive to the other ladies (in the creepiest way ever) was too much and vulgar. 

I am glad that Beth and Dorinda were able to settle their argument.  I like their friendship and from B’s reaction I felt that her hurt was due to her genuinely liking Dorinda and theirs being a real friendship.

Beth looked like a 6 year old child from the back....it was a little disturbing.  I just couldn't stop laughing at how her and Ro were having this heart to heard convo and she was just completely naked.  Why did Sonja have on Beth's bikini?  Where did hers go???  I guess Dorinda was just trying to get her covered up as quickly as possible.  She's a good friend.

Tinsley was awesomely bitchy pointing out that yes there is a big difference between West Balm Beach and Palm Beach, but sorry Lu had her beat when she said Tinsley lived in Palm Beach with her mom.  Tinsley has gotten in some good shade with some of her comments, but she is out of her league with these bitches. 

I was surprised Ramona went fishing, I thought she was just going to kiss Bethany's ass some more but Beth didn't even go. 

Sorry Carole, you may be the only one with real tits but they are certainly not the best.  Just because they are real makes them the best?  Anyway, is that even true?  Luann's boobs are awesome and they look real.  Dorinda doesn't seem the type to get a boob job, and Tinsley said hers are horrible so I was presuming that meant they were real??  

I enjoyed this trip so much!  Definitely one of the best ever.  I am actually sad next week is the season finale.
