S10.E05: Tea for Tat

[OnceSane]

Quote

Back in New York City, Tinsley gets a surprise delivery; Carole and Luann talk through the miscommunications that have been plaguing their friendship; Luann runs into Tom's old fling; a shouting match erupts between Sonja and Ramona.

[KungFuBunny]

Here we go...yay!!!!

[Steph J]

It's pretty rich that Bethany has adopted a "why does everyone have to be so mean to Sonja and exclude her?" attitude given that she once forced Dorinda to disinvite Sonja to the Berkshires so that she (Bethany) wouldn't have to be around her.

I mean, it's great if Bethany has decided to try to be a nicer person, but not acknowledging that she's played the same game with Sonja in the past makes her look like a hypocrite.

[ShawnaLanne]

Bethany, shut up. There's a reason no one is talking to Sonja. It's because she's a crazy,  mean witch. Sonja,  shut up. You got paid by Bravo for Tinsley. Shut up.  Shut up.  Shut up. 

[WhoaWhoKnew]

Dorinda always sounds like her nose is clogged. 

[ShawnaLanne]

Bethany, shut up. There's a reason no one is talking to Sonja. It's because she's a crazy,  mean witch. Sonja,  shut up. You got paid by Bravo for Tinsley. Shut up.  Shut up.  Shut up. 

So this season it looks like Sonja and Carol are going to view for the title of least likable.

[psychoticstate]

What in the holy hell is Carole wearing in the beginning while hailing a cab?  Did she raid The Green Lantern's wardrobe? 

[QuinnM]

Ok, so for those that were asking ... Tinsley’s instagram comment was Tinsley saying she donated $10,000.  At some point shortly after that Ramona announced the amount she was donating. So those dollars came from the giver not Bethenny.

[KungFuBunny]

Why do I feel like Tinsley was a bit too psycho and intense for Scott?

[Straycat80]

Tinsley in the Elsa braids and that is the biggest cowl neck on her sweater I’ve ever seen. 

[ShawnaLanne]

Spoiler alert. News report says they've moved back in together. @KungFuBunny

I've heard that but I still think she's a bit psycho

[WhoaWhoKnew]

Do we really need a scene of Luann pretending to look for an apartment in the city every year?

[AnnA]

Damn!   Dorinda and LuAnn are both wearing fur.

Oh for sure.  So psycho. But clearly he likes it.

If it's a choice between this and having to hear about Tom every five seconds...

She's said a few things.

I want him to fall in love again with the girl he met.

I'm going to be light and airy when we see each other.

I think linking himself to her especially during filming is good publicity for coupon cabin.

I also think he gave her the title of "account manager" so that they could fly back and forth to see each other and file it under a "business expense"

This is the truth. It's always good to have someone remind me how much worse Wednesdays at 9pm could be.

KFB theory:

Luann is still fucking pissed about Barbara K talking to Carole micced up at Dorinda's charity event

That makes so much sense.

Also, damn, Tinsley has no chill whatsoever.

[Bronzedog]

Did Tinsley think Scott was dead?  Has he been to war and was MIA?  Seriously, Tinsley.  Take a Xanax!!

[SuprSuprElevated]

If someone threw themselves on the floor because we hadn't seen each other and I surprised them, I'd surprise them again by turning around and running in the other direction en fuego!

[mwell345]

Good grief, is Tinsley in high school?  Talk about over the top.  

[JD5166]

Why is Carole wearing that at lunch? She looks horrible, her hair is just not good shorter or that color. She and Tinsley’s little girl sista act is crazy-crazy. 

 

Also, f-u direct tv which goes bad every time it rains...gonna be a long summer. I can’t comment on the sit down because it’s just not playing. The only time I miss NJ is when the tv isn’t going to work because....rain! ?

[TexasGal]

Is Tinsley a secret spokesperson for Nivea?  What was with the weird lotion product placement?

[KungFuBunny]

Rituals Tinsley?

I'm picturing some witchcraft.

Scott looks scared

[Neeners]

Carole is acting like she hasn't said shady shit in the vast majority of episodes re: Lu. "Is there something you're upset with me about?". Lu said no, and they only showed the negative stuff that she has said over the years, but it ran both ways. Carole is/was not an angel.

[BodhiGurl]

Why exactly can't Tinsley move to Chicago if she's so in lurve with Scott? She has no job... and it's not like she can't come back to NYC for filming... so stupid.

[KungFuBunny]

OMG the Stars Wars Cantina crew has arrived

[Pickles]

Doesn't it seem like Tinsley should just focus on Scott, instead of calling Carole and then her mother? He just showed up as a big surprise, so save your phone calls for tomorrow!

[Mozelle]

Bethenny really is bothered by Carole’s and Tinsley’s friendship. Heh.

Bethenny can’t invite Carole to Puerto Rico because of her supposed need of eyelashes (i.e., being high maintenance)? Carole Radziwill who ran a marathon without a care for false eyelashes? Carole Radziwill who traveled abroad producing news in Cambodia and Afghanistan? That Carole Radziwill?

Must be two Carole Radziwills.

That was hideous! So is that cranberry bathrobe she’s wearing to Ramona’s shopping party.  Carole could really use a personal shopper.  

[Mozelle]

Ramona is messy.

I came in here to see if anyone else had noticed that. Maybe the whole hair and makeup treatment was paid for by Nivea or something...? Weird.

I think she could and probably would but I get the feeling that she hasn't been asked. Not sure what's happening currently. I think she's shallow, materialistic and obnoxious. She clearly wants him for the coins and he's with her probably for the free PR.

Carole and her grey-area relationship with Adam is a bit sad. She knows that it all has an expiration date because he wants kids. Stringing it along is just delaying the inevitable. I'd kick him to the curb and move on if I were her.

P.S. Carole, you've said so much nasty shit about Luann over the years that you can't take the high road in the feud. Even Bethenny says that  you can't stand Luann. Just acknowledge it and let it go. I would bet $$ that Carole will say something snarky about Luann before the end of this episode despite calling for a truce.

[KungFuBunny]

I'm juicing and doing raw....

cut to Sonja stuffing her face

Hah!

[JD5166]

Missy, you and your thinning hair need to go the fuck away. Gagging for your moment is not a good look. 

[ihartcoffee]

Tinsley..... you're supposed to play it cool girlfriend.  

[BodhiGurl]

ermahgerd they really need to make this Sonja's last season unless she gets some radical help. I do feel a tit bit sorry since she makes coins off this show but she is ridiculous and for the love of baby jeebuz I can't hear another g'dang story about her ex huzzzband... smokey eye updo and schdat (sp wrong, I know - I'm not rich enough to know how to spell it correctly and too lazy to google it - ha ha ha). I can't with her. CANT.

[poeticlicensed]

Absolutely product placement. I just saw a commercial for Nivea.

Fuck Direct TV is right. The least bit of weather. 

[Neurochick]

Dorinda said it, "I've a vengeful bitch," that's why I can't stand her.

Yup! Mentioned her big head. You win!

[KungFuBunny]

Bethenny if you felt so bad at the Topping Rose brunch, you could have easily got up and said Ramona that's a bitchy move, I'm moving over to sit across from Sonja - taking 10 steps wouldn't have killed you. You would have ended up sitting next to Carole.

Bethenny if you feel so bad for Sonja why are you inviting Dorinda and NOT Sonja with you to Puerto Rico?

You're only cozying up to Sonja because you want to dig at Ramona

[SuprSuprElevated]

Product placement is the new black.  Producers know that there isn't much more show time-slashing that will be tolerated, so the ads have to be moved to the shows themselves.  I really, really hate being sold stuff.

I should probably get over it.  It's only going to get worse.

Tinsley - the cutsey crazy act may work when you are 18, but it's not a good look on a woman over 40. Try to control yourself. Scott will be deaf from all the screaming 

[chewycandy]

Luann will never own the things she said about Carole and Adam and I can’t stand her for that. 

What was with that Richard guy? Was he talking to the air? 

There goes Beth again, saying “I don’t want you to come” in the preview, yet Dorinda still does.

Tinsley has the scratchiest, loudest voice when she gets excited. Ugh. 

Looking forward to seeing Victoria next week.

Ramona really needs to wear her hair in a short bob all the time.  She looks amazing with it in her TH.

She's like a frenetic sales person trying to sell herself on how awesome he is and how much she loves him.  It's definitely an unique approach to a relationship.

Is she preparing for a gig on Big Brother or Survivor?

The contestants do this on each show - crying how much they missed their SO/spouse/children after being sequestered for 2 weeks
