I think I could hold my own in a HW argument with anyone besides Dorinda. I would be on the floor in a puddle of tears and urine the second she got wound up.

Homegirl is scary as fuck.

Can you imagine Teddi’s reaction? Erika is nothing compared to Doris. 

[LilaFowler]

I laughed a couple of times during this episode: when Luann interjected in Sonja's rant that you can't get a dinner reservation in purgatory, and then again at Bethenny's birthday dinner TH when she imitated Luann's singing.

Yikes, Dorinda is a mean drunk.  Maybe SHE needs an intervention, especially since she blacks out often and doesn't remember what she said or did, not a good look.

I've said this for a long time, it's kind of weird how everyone overlooks it as funny.

I really want to know who told Luann that she could sing so I can wring their neck.

Certainly not Ramona, who has accused Luann of being auto-tuned.

The Countess is as much a "singer" as Kim Wig Zolciak, Lady Morgan, Melissa GORGA, Erika Jayne.

Dorinda is a perfect example of what they say in 12 step programs, "Resentment is the number one offender."  Though Dorinda had a point confronting Sonja, telling her there's a world of difference between burying a husband and a husband divorcing you; Dorinda, to me, looked like a crazy loon when she was saying it.  She was screaming like a madwoman, destroying the point she was making, because someone like Sonja will shake her head and say, "shit, what's wrong with Dorinda, is she drunk again?" 

[kanona29]

LOLOLOLOL

DORINDA!!!! Ya girl goes straight for the kill shots!!! I couldn't even make out all of what she was saying...something or 'nother about sleeping with all the south of France.

This woman is reality tv gold.

CLIP! lol

[LilaFowler]

And you know what? Bethenny is right, at least Luann is fun. She gets drunk and falls in bushes (and off of ledges), she sings Happy Birthday in restaurants... this opposed to joyless Carole and Tinsley who takes herself way too seriously.

[ghoulina]

Okay, I'm probably going straight to hell, but I was LIVING for Dorinda going off on Sonja. I mean, she went there...she really went there. Fucking around in St. Tropez and all. Sorry, but Sonja IS nasty nice. She's always talking out of her ass and just making shit up. She thinks she's funny, but she's not. So, yea, I'm applauding Dorinda right now. 

I also kind of loved Carole's "thx" text. She's exhausted. You couldn't be bothered to show up. Accept it. 

 

I know everyone is thrilled to see the cracks with Beth and Carole; I'm not. I do think they tended to bring out the worst in each other, but it still makes me a bit sad. FTR, I don't think it was any one thing, or that either of them did something wrong. I think the fracture sort of started when Tinsley began dating Scott. Because he is friends with Adam. They were all hanging out, doing couple stuff. Tinsley and Carole just got closer. It's natural. But it's also natural for B to be hurt and jealous. I get it. 

 

Drama aside, I still just love this franchise! They can be so fun. The Greek restaurant dancing. Sonja taking the jitney, then having some random guy in a pick up come for her in the parking lot. Lu's awkward birthday serenade. I was rolling. 

Oh, but then you have Ramona - once again - making people do stuff way out of the scope of their job. She's got the painting dudes moving furniture and wiring TV's! Better hope you don't job past her home one day, she'll rope you into mowing the lawn!

 

Oh, NY, I just can't quit you. 

[Batwings]

Ramona is a complete asshole. That poor artist & his friend should have told her to fuck off. In her eyes, everyone is beneath her & a potential servant. I am really at the point of finding no redeeming qualities in that woman.

Yes, but B was comparing Lu to Ramona. And Ramona can give plenty of fun moments too...especially if pool noodles are involved! It's like they were having a competition over whose arch nemesis is worse.

The south of France comment had me rolling. Dorinda was taking no prisoners as far as the Verbal Waterboarder and her Monologues of Insanity were concerned.

 

I swear, the last 5 minutes of the show made all my grey hairs turn back to brown and added some gorgeous highlights.

I don't think Dorinda's rant had any effect on Sonja.  Sonja probably looked at her, like I did and thought, "look at that poor, crazy, drunk lady...I feel so sorry for her."  I just shook my head at Dorinda, kind of like I do when I see some drunk, homeless woman screaming in the street.

Dorinda would have been much more effective if she had looked Sonja dead in her face and SOBERLY said to her, "if you think burying a husband is the same thing as divorcing a husband, then you have serious issues lady, and I can't help you."

I’m sorry (#sorrynotsorry) but I was loving Dorinda calling out Sonja for milking sympathy for her divorce that happened 10+ years ago. Not to mention the truth bombs about how he dumped her for screwing around on him in France. 

 

I get what Timsley sees in Scott. He’s a nice guy who is successful and very hardworking/driven. I think he’s cute, too. I’m glad to hear they are back together. 

 

Lu singing was hilarious and cringeworthy. Cringearious? 

[Primal Slayer]

After coming off of RHOBH, RHONY is a GOD SEND. This series is just the gold star of the Housewives franchise, shame it doesnt show in ratings.

The Bethenny/Carole tension is REAL and you can tell that Carole just aint here for B anymore. B was the third wheel to the core, she was being ignored hardcore lol and having to fight to get a sentence in.

LuLu....unless you got autotune goin on...don't sing. And I am on Team-Tins, after everything you put these women through with trying to defend your marriage and throwing it in their face...you owe it to them and us to have a sit down, talk about it, and say sorry to everyone. Now that she and Sonja are besties again it is funny how easily she takes Sonja's side.

I swear...if this were 70ish years ago Ramona would totally be a slave owner and be like "I'm not like the other slave owners, I'm a cool slave owners, they're like my friends! part of my family!" "what are you doing? move that couch!" the girl loves her help and it isnt even hired help at that! 

Dorinda going off on Sonja was giving me major Lisa Rinna vibes, it was just great and a great way to end an episode. Sonja is delusional enough to try to say something "we talk about your dead husband all the time! what about me!"

Tinsley has grown into herself and I am loving her. If they keep Teddi on RHOBH, she BEST brings her best Tinsley impersonation.

Andy keeps encouraging her to sing and asking if she’s recording any new songs. Is he mocking her, or does he really like her voice?

And why are people paying to see her cabaret show?

She only brought one dog. The white dog is Astin (Luann's) - remember she walked him last year with Tom....in the park?

But I can see Sonja blaming Astin when her red dog poops

I think Bethanny is looking for an alliance since she can tell that Carole is no longer 'as excited" to see her anymore. And you know she was in heaven with someone telling her she was right, so I wouldn't be surprised is Bethanny attaches herself to Luann while Carole is not being as enamored by Bethanny as she once was...

Your theory about why Beth and Carole's friendship may have declined makes sense.  I never understood how those two ended up being such good friends anyhow.  They were an odd combination.

Ugh. Yes. When Lu was all, "I don't know WHO'S supporting Tinsley"...I'm thinking - "did the count not support you???"

Plus, Tinsley is on the show now, earning. Same as you.

I'm thinking if Dale convinced Tinsley to freeze her eggs, it was when she and Topper separated not when she turned 40

She's ugly inside and out. A complete and utter POS. I haven't been this embarrassed and weirded out by a Housewive's behavior since Tamra Barney sicc'd her teenage son on Gretchen.

Sonya often deserves to have her ass handed to her. But Dorinda is over the top and acting just plain crazy. Hide the knives.

I agree with this. But I tend to think NOTHING will have an effect on Sonja. Bethenny tried approaching her calmly multiple times. It doesn't work. So I don't really care how Sonja reacts; as a viewer I was loving it!

Well now I have a thought. If you put Ramona, Sonja, Coco, and Rouge (I think) in Ramona's Hamptons place for a weekend, who will take the blame for all the dog shit strewn around by Sunday?

[pieinmyeye]

Why does Sonja have a car in the Hamptons when she doesn’t even have a house there? She practically lives on top of a parking garage in the city. She could keep it there and not have to ride the bus. Meanwhile, the jingle from the old Greyhound bus commercials is running on a loop through my head. LMAO!!

[Thumper]

I didn't get the impression that Dorinda was drunk at the brunch.  You think so?   I thought she had just built up all this anger at her and let it fly.

I would not want to be on the receiving end of Dorinda's, Beth's, or Erika's angry rant!  ???

Who was the other blonde woman at Lu's brunch?

[mbaywife123]

Calm down Dorinda and slow your roll with the drink, you do make very good points but they get lost in drunk babble screaming.

[Neurochick]

I think it's interesting how people, especially Andy Cohen, kind of laughs at Dorinda's drinking.  It has become a joke, and I think it is a joke because, we, the audience are watching her on TV, we're not dealing with her every day, we don't have to clean up after her.  I remember at the party, she couldn't even walk out under her own power, her boyfriend practically had to carry her out.

If you were walking down the street and saw some homeless, drunk woman screaming some bullshit at the top of her lungs, you'd get out of her way, I know I would.  But I, we, all of us laugh because somehow she doesn't seem real, and she was just screaming at Sonja, so I guess that was okay. (especially since Sonja's a crazy drunk herself)

[AttackTurtle]

Is it clear as to whether Carole didn’t stay at Bethenney’s because she had s full house or did she simply not want to stay with Bethenny?  

On a shallow note...Luanne in her Veterans Day attire was gorgeous.  And I absolutely love her house.

i won’t spoil it here, but the preview for next week at the dinner party is absolutely hilarious.

I am a bleeding heart liberal, but Carole turned me off last year with her almost “eletist” attitude about the election.  She can be incredibly snotty and condescending.  She was snotty towards Luanne in her first season, but aligned with her in her next season because she wanted allies against Aviva.  By the next season they were on the outs again.  I don’t think she ever liked Luanne.

Bethenny has always been loud & outspoken, but she does let things go.  I think Carole is the more likely of the two to make a mountain out of a molehill. (ETA- I am in the minority on this board, but I live Bethenny).

Edited to say: I originally thought the pickup truck was her car, but now I understand that it was owned by that other guy who was just giving her a ride to her car.

 They're not two people I would have inherently thought to put together - he seems too grounded for a New York socialite, doesn't have a name followed by Roman numerals - but she's willing to move to Chicago for him, so something about it works.

The best thing I can say about Lu's singing - if I could have half the self-confidence she has, I'd be a happy woman.

But that's not quite how it went down. Ramona gets everyone to agree to make a pact and be more considerate of each other or whatever. And then Luann says to Sonya, after Sonia says some baloney about being sensitive to other people's feelings,  "Well, you've been through a lot, my love..." and that's when Dorinda starts in, bulging eyeballs, "Oh, stop already. I buried a husband!!" And then her spit started flying. 

She's gross and losing control. I'd like to see Bethenny's reaction to Dorinda's rant tonight. Seeing that she got a taste of the crazy in Mexico.

Tinsley’s mom FORCED her to freeze her eggs. How old is she again? 

Regarding Tinsley’s mother and the eggs:  When you have a mother who’s a control freak, doesn’t respect boundaries and doesn’t know when to STFU and let things drop, sometimes it’s just easier to let her have her way.  I’m don’t know for sure if that’s what Tinsley’s mother did but if it is, I understand completely.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that was Sonja pulling into Lu’s in a BMW. Probably a rental. Count me among those who doesn’t think Dorinda was drunk at the brunch. I think she was trying to be play nice and then Sonja pressed too many of her buttons.

[BloggerAloud]

I love how everybody kept criticizing people for the flaw they most exhibit themselves. You had Bethenny saying Carole can't take criticism, you had Luann calling Tinsley spoiled and you had Ramona telling people they should be more considerate of others feelings.

I'm giving Sonya points for at least trying to clean herself up. And other than wanting to take off her clothes and make out with everyone, Sonya seems rather harmless when she's drinking.

Dorinda admits that John and her daughter have told her she's got an anger problem and she realizes she needs to work on it.  Get to workin' on that girl, before you land in jail for assault or worse.

My TV right now, is paused at the end of the show when they're getting up from the table still screaming at each other.  The screen is frozen on Luann's friend's face. She looks mortified.

[BloggerAloud]

Bethenny reminds me of what my mom used to tell me as a kid: "You can either always be right OR you can have friends."

[Bronzedog]

Regarding the Carole/Bethenny friendship, I always thought Carole attached  herself to Bethenny because she thought being Bethenny's friend would make her cooler.  I know most people think Bethenny was the driving force in that friendship, but, I don't.  I think Carole saw being friends with Bethenny as a way to seem cooler and more important, or interesting, than she was without Bethenny.  She got more screen time because all she had without Bethenny was cats, Adam and a ripped couch.  But, Bethenny is a lot of work and Tinsley appeared so now Carole's glopped onto her instead.

Well, I'm team Doris on the brunch with Sonja.  Burying a husband that you loved is a 'big' deal.  Having a husband that left you because you were cheating on him is a whole different ballgame.  Sonja loves to reinvent the past and Dorinda called her out.   Just like she reinvented that she and Tom were lovers over the years....  They were an occasional late night hook up.  And I don't think Dorinda was drunk when she said that.  She was fed up.

Cool for Carole going up against Beth.  Yep.  Carole did reply.  And Beth's statement about Carole can't taking criticism.  Pot meet kettle.  Are you kidding me?  As for Carole cooling with Beth, isn't there more to that than what Beth thinks....at least according to what other posters have stated and cited.

I love Lu's house.  Seeing them sitting at the table with the water in the background?  Yeah, I'm in.   And who just brings their dog without asking first?  And the whole going into someone's closet.  Nope.  Team Dorinda on that.  Sonja on the bus was funny but sad at the same time.  I guess no one invited her to join them for the ride. 

I liked that Lu came in singing.  Yeah, she can't sing but it was a fun moment. 

Oh Ro.  I have no words.
