(At least on the first three eps.) And (unlike RHoNY) there's no mitigation through comparison with other nasty personalities - on this show, Frankel is the solo owner of that energy, a wind-up pair of chattering teeth spewing mockery and negativity, and Fredrik....is not. He's dapper and sometimes a duffer and a bit fusspotty, but basically decent (like a character Mike Brady brings home to dinner one night that Jan crushes on -- "His accent is DREAMY, Marcia!") And they're not good together, imo - no chemistry -- she's brutal and he seems off his footing (and not in a fun way). Since it's not a straight ahead design show, they need to have a fun relationship; something interesting, expansive, unexpected -- and something that will soften up her hard elbows. Frex, they should have gone to lunch with Elinor, and Bethenny should have (to her surprise) enjoyed herself, and reluctantly found Elinor and Fredrik charming ("He does not do business like I do. They're exchanging pleasantries like we're at the court of Versailles -- "After you, Elinor!' "No, after you, Fredrik!" -- and I'm fishing a bug out of my mouth, I'm so slack-jawed at the sight of them. But that's Fredrik - and I think this New York City smartass can learn something from him.") It's already fake-as-fuck, so at least make it a lovely, fun and amusing fake-as-fuck show, not a snarky pit of negativity, hyper-wrangling and shallow mockery.

Fred’s really gonna have to hold back on the marble then. I like Brooklyn so I hope they expand the search. Brooklyn is skyrocketing as far as real estate is concerned. It's the place to live now in the city. Manhattan prices are driving people away, you simply can't afford to live there anymore. 5 hours ago, film noire said: And they're not good together, imo - no chemistry -- she's brutal and he seems off his footing (and not in a fun way).

silverspoons February 18, 2018 Share February 18, 2018 (edited) I love MDL and Fredrick and I was so excited that he got a spin off. I am so let down. Not only is it scripted , but Bethany's mouth and dumb down Fredrick makes it unwatchable for me and my husband. The show is so little about real estate and the rest is Bethany's crude humor and a few pops of Fredrick trying to get his way. I thought we were going to see Fredrick find a few great deals in NY and flip them with Bethany helping to decorate. I didn't except orgasm, douching penis talk . I'm not a prude but I expect big brother after dark to have crude humor not a flipping show. I guess I will still FF each episode hoping we get to see Fredrick's twins on the show. I think Derek said it best on the first episode, why would Fredrick work with Bethany, he can flip the apartment on his own just fine. Edited February 18, 2018 by silverspoons 6 Link to comment

It was a natural instinct for him, and he seemed uncertain when Bethenny started with all the faces. mmv He was. Because Fredrik is basically kind and he likes people two qualities that Bethany lacks. And he’s got nice manners another Bethany deficit. To rescind an invitation like that was cruel and hurtful, it showed on Elinor’s face. Fuck you Bethany and fuck you Fredrik for caving.

jvr March 7, 2018 Share March 7, 2018 (edited) Hmmm... I guess I saw things differently. I absolutely saw both sides of the argument. Nothing Bethenny or Fred said contradicted each other but there was obvious miscommunication on both sides that caused issues. They both agreed that the budget was 300k (but was really only 240k). Bethenny said this a million times and Fred agreed. But obviously Bethenny thought that 300k included everything that had already been done (hiring contractor and designers, this makes sense to me) and Fred thought that it was 300k on top of what had already been spent (he obviously wanted to spend as much as possible so he wouldn't want to include all cost in that new budget, that's fine). Bethenny should not have blown up the way she did (not at all) but Fred was acting totally clueless as to why she would be confused or upset that the budget was 360k instead of the agreed upon 300k (240). The way he was acting was frustrating me, it's that way of making someone else feel stupid. Just acknowledge that you spent money before she came on to the project and then come to some type of agreement on how to resolve it (you take on the cost before she joined, split the cost, whatever). I feel he could have prevented most of that argument by not acting like he had no idea what was going on (I feel most of this is for the tv show). The paperwork should have specifically acknowledged what had been spent already (it did, that was stated at the sit down) but it also should have subtracted that cost from the total new budget and that's what should have been the understanding going forward, 240k. Stop saying 300k, the new budget was supposed to be 240k. (Or the paperwork should have said the budget is 300k not including cost spent, and then Fred would be right). What wasn't scripted was Fred crying, he obviously couldn't help it. We have seen him do that before on Million Dollar NY, he gets emotional in confrontations that he feels are more personal than business. Interestingly it's not in the initial confrontation when emotions are high, it's later on when he sits down calmly with the person that he becomes overwhelmed. I remember specifically it happened with Luis Steve, where Steve thought he had lied to him or something like that about a listing (or Fred thought Steve tried to steal a client, who knows) and they sat down for lunch later and Fred couldn't hold his emotions. He obviously doesn't like disagreements with people he considers friends. Edited March 7, 2018 by jvr 1 Link to comment
Mindthinkr March 7, 2018 Share March 7, 2018 I wonder that Frederik didn’t win the dance off because he poured the red colored liquid (grenadine?) on his suit and ruined it (needing a costly replacement) or because he threw Bethenny into the pool. 1 Link to comment

This isn't RHoNY where (at this point, more than a decade in) Bethenny verbally abusing another cast member at some point in the season is just par for the course. Savaging people is her thing, and lots of viewers seemingly love it. But this is a new show -- with a different person and a different format -- and she treated him as if he were just another Luann being slut-shamed, which tells me she feels comfortable operating like this with anyone. Trip her trigger and she will keep escalating until somebody is damaged because the rage is always near the surface, ready to explode. I hope he runs for the hills and does a show with someone else.

Stupendous Man traded his Harley Sportster for the Bronco, straight across. We definitely got the better end of the deal, as the early Bronco brand increases in being a status symbol for the rich and the dollar value goes up. Mine will never be that pretty. But it's body is straight, with no dents, small amount of rust in a few spots and last year, and had a mechanic go through the motor and replace, fix, whatever was needed to make it run at it's best.. I let it sit after Jim died, so it needed a little TLC. I will not deny, when I drive the Bronco (Little Blue, it has a name!), I am completely and totally LOOK AT MEEEEEE! Little Blue looks like the Bronco Sam drove on the series True Blood and from the movie Charlies Angels. And can I just say how much it tickles me to see Bill Murray. Bill Murray! In my Bronco. I apologize Alonzo. I don't like Bethenny. My love for the Bronco is much different than hers. Little Blue spent more time off pavement than on. Bethenny's will probably never leave the road. Hers is a status thing, mine is an emotional attachment, filled with happy memories of a dog running along side on old logging trails and and a brown eyed handsome man at the wheel.

We definitely got the better end of the deal, as the early Bronco brand increases in being a status symbol for the rich and the dollar value goes up. Mine will never be that pretty. But it's body is straight, with no dents, small amount of rust in a few spots and last year, and had a mechanic go through the motor and replace, fix, whatever was needed to make it run at it's best.. I let it sit after Jim died, so it needed a little TLC. I will not deny, when I drive the Bronco (Little Blue, it has a name!), I am completely and totally LOOK AT MEEEEEE! Little Blue looks like the Bronco Sam drove on the series True Blood and from the movie Charlies Angels. And can I just say how much it tickles me to see Bill Murray. Bill Murray! In my Bronco. I apologize Alonzo. I don't like Bethenny. My love for the Bronco is much different than hers. Little Blue spent more time off pavement than on. Bethenny's will probably never leave the road. Hers is a status thing, mine is an emotional attachment, filled with happy memories of a dog running along side on old logging trails and and a brown eyed handsome man at the wheel. Saying all that, I give Miss Bethameee a pass. It's a Bronco. And they're awesome little trucks! 2 Link to comment
