Does Carole have problems with the letter T?

I could have sworn she just said I haven't wri in like the way she says ki in

She's a boomer who wants to be a millennial.  She doesn't realize that it takes more than a 30-something's spermatozoa to get that accomplished.

Millennial? She's going for Gen Z with the IG Model stuff. It's hilarious and also sad. Fifteen years ago she had a real career, these days she's posing in ridiculous outfits on social media, shilling donuts and chasing after a manchild.

Bethenny impressed me with her charitable work in Puerto Rico. 

Carole continues to impress me in how she out-assholes herself every week.

Maybe Carole has a hard time enunciating because that girl is so.damn.THIRSTY.

[Neurochick]

Ramona looked at Carole's face and immediately thought, "puppet."  LOL.

[mwell345]

Yes Ramona, I confuse the words “defend” and “puppet” all the time.  doesn’t everyone?

[noveltylibrary]

Not surprised the person Carole thinks is the greatest woman in NY is a bitch.  Luanne compliments her, she scowls "Look at this charmer".

Karen Duffy . She was Duff on MTV back in the day. I need that Vodka fountain! 

[Martinigirl]

I want a flask bracelet!!!

[QuinnM]

Interesting that even when Ramona tried to stir the pot, Carole didn’t bite.  “I don’t think she used the word puppet.  I think that is your word.”  So I think Ramona is the next girl at the end of the table being talked about by Carol and handmaiden.  The first I remember is Carol with Bethenny doing it to Jules.  Did the same dynamic ever happen with Carol and Heather?

I agree about the IG snaps.  They're definitely cringe inducing.  But we're talking about that buh-in, ki-in thing, which is pure millennial.

I love it, I was like, "ouch!"

I thought Carole was a writer.

Wait, one of Carole's friends is Duff?  I'd forgotten about her, didn't she used to be on MTV and/or Fox news?

I think she was a Vee-jay and had a short film/tv career. I believe this is her second book about her chronic pain, and everyone calls her “Duff” not just her good friend Carole. Fibromyalgia, maybe? She had a pretty promising career, she’s a beautiful woman, still today!

Not sure if they’ll actually talk about it.  But Karen Duffy’s story is really inspiring and it’s a pretty good read.  She used a better ghostwriter or maybe wrote it herself.

[psychoticstate]

I'm disappointed that Cosmo believes a woman who chews with her mouth open and can't even properly enunciate the word "writer" is someone who should be dispensing advice.  Of any kind. 

[Mozelle]

Sonja's character is Maria Antipasta, known for cooking the books? Given Sonja's suit--Too. On. The Nose.

[LilaFowler]

"I think they kicked me out after that, it's a bit of a blur." I enjoy Slurinda at times TBH.

[psychoticstate]

Loved Bethenny 's subtle shade of Carole  not having a job.  Ha!

Carole, don't ask about being called a puppet when you look like Punch and Judy, the Cryptkeeper years.

[SuprSuprElevated]

I've been in the place that Beth & Carole find themselves in.  I'm uncomfortable watching it unfold.  All too familiar.

[ShawnaLanne]

Why wouldn't Tom have a party on the same boat? Should he scrap it now that he had an engagement party on it?

Bethenny said it in her TH, that's is what she meant but she never used the word puppet

[Mozelle]

Only Bethenny can make defending a friend sound like it's a character flaw: "Carole, you speak up for Tinsley. You speak up for Heather. You speak up for me." Yeah, gawd. What a bitch for speaking up for a friend.

Meanwhile the HWs on Beverly Hills have whole season-long arguments about not being backed up in an argument.

Why does Carole always act like writing is the biggest chore ever? 

I want to apologize to Aviva because I think I believe her about the ghostwriter now, tbh. 

As someone who hasn't written in a while and just got a freelance project,  I feel her. It's hard work jumping back in. The second guessing is murder. 

[BloggerAloud]

The editors on this show always crack me up. The fact that they made sure to show that plastic wine glass/champagne flute falling apart when Carole tapped on it had me screaming. I wrote about on Twitter about how Carole's haircut and general look in her Cosmopolitan scene made me think of Carrie Bradshaw showing up to Vogue after her break-up with Aiden.

According to the blog that would be advise

[QuinnM]

Oh, interesting point.  When Bethenny was talking about her conversation with Adam about photographing the Houston mission, she said he was wealthy.  So that’s news.  He has money from someplace.

[noveltylibrary]

I just remembered who Duff was, it was bugging me.  Karen Duffy, she was in Dumb and Dumber. and I thought she was cool then. Now, notsomuch.

First

this is no longer correct. Luann did not get the yacht. Tom got the yacht.

I guess Kimberly, yacht owner is Tom's friend not Luann's.

I agree - Tom's birthday is on New Year's Eve - so of course he's going to have a party.

If marriage didn't stop Tom from fucking around, who would think divorce would stop him from celebrating his birthday?

[ShawnaLanne]

I remember Duff as Veejay. 

I now get what is happening with Carol and Bethany, Adam. Bethany thought it showed not good character when demanded money for charity work anD then Carole defended him. 

Plus,  did you see that look when Carole called Duff the most amazing woman she knows in New York? Bethany is missing her chief butt kisser.

2 years ago (almost to the day—I only know because my mother passed  5/20/16...missed this news because of it) Adam and his father crashed their small private plane here in Iowa in a cornfield. Assuming his family has money. 

[BodhiGurl]

not for nothing but Carole no longer "has" a career. She "had" one. Unless you count performing on RHONY a "career". And in all reality - Bethenny is the only one with what one would consider a "Career" currently out of all the women (on the show now). Being a sometime writer does not a career make. No shade towards what she accomplished in the past... but it was in the past... it's not now... So Bethenny is not incorrect saying that Carole has no career. Heck. If I could afford to I'd have no career too.. LMAO....

His family has an office supply company in Iowa.

But just like with Bethenny's father, we don't know if Adam has access to his family's money. He's close to his family unlike how estranged Bethenny was with her family. However, lots of families withhold access to trust funds until the kid is no longer a kid like 30, 40, 45, or 50.

Oh yeah,  I forgot it isn't even his yacht and how obnoxious, grasping, and pretentious Luanne was during her engagement. 

On the topic of Lu, Sonja needs to stop with the LuMann "joke. " It's homophobic and mean girl behaviour.

No, the prohibiting is multi-generational. I am Carole's age and got busted for the same offense. I D my double T's. I forgave a huge overbite, so I have no excuse other than sheer speech laziness.

[enchantingmonkey]

Did Sonja just flip over a cushion with a dog poop stain on it???  But she looks down her nose at riding though Queens in a limousine?  

[Gem 10]

Guess it's the "Carol Razzi Show" now.  What's wrong with her right cheek? Looks like it's falling down.  Seriously.

[pieinmyeye]

Doing a cabaret show scares the hell out of you Lu? The thought of ever having to see or hear it, scares the hell out of me.

Bethenny really is coming across has jealous that Carole wasn’t up her ass all summer and that everyone didn’t drop their lives to do what Bethenny wanted when she wanted it. Now she’s beneath Bethenny all the sudden? Let the character  assassination begin with the tearing down of everything Carole has ever done will ever do that she had zero problems with just a few months before. Bethenny really is a mean girl watching her react 

 

I'm on Bethenny's side....Sonja did introduce Tinsley to the group.

Chinchillas suffer in tiny cages.  It's cruel. Don't buy real fur people!

Carol should get a refund from whoever did her cheek filler.

[BodhiGurl]

They simply MUST let the "Tinsley was a terrible houseguest at Sonja's" storyline go already. Sheesh...  dare I say it's worse than hearing about Tom all the gosh darn time... I hope we're past it now that Tins and Sonja had a chat... probably not tho. Boo.

The only reason Bethenny cares is cause she’s trying to get back at Carol it’s just so beyond obvious so Bethennys whole point is mute cause it’s not coming from a place of genuine concern but from a place of tit for tat notice how it became about Carol in the fight and not about Sonja and Tinsley even the other two noticed that sitting at the table. Sonja and Tinsley is Bethennys in at taking jabs at Carol. What more does Tinsley have to do for Sonja? Give a arm give a leg? When she says thank you Sonja being a witch blows it off at this point she has no other storyline other then dragging out oh Tinsley was a bad house guest move the flock on she threw her a freaking thank you party she wrote a 5,000 check at this point she owes Sonja jack.

Sonja was the producer's way of introducing Tinsley to the group/onto the show but people just sort of talk around all of the machinations of being on a reality show.

I was very surprised they showed those coats. Anything made with real fur for someone’s pleasure, not necessity, is wrong on so many levels to me. Sonja bragging about having one, not surprising at all.

It's a glottalized "t". It's an accent. It's just that simple. It's not a millennial thing nor is it a sign of laziness. It's just an accent. It's been studied in the English language for more than 100 years.

On my island, Bravo introduced Tinsley to the group.  Sonja was the vehicle, story, plot device.

I guess I didn't pay attention for the first 95.

[AttackTurtle]

I’m still Team B.   I don’t think it’s a jealousy issue b/t her and Carole, but rather B made the unforgivable mistake of criticizing Adam.  She knew right then and there things would be different.  

 

Ouch though as to B’s comment about Carole not having a career.  It’s completely true, but ouch.

Who's betting she won't make the two week deadline?  She looked stunned when they told her.  Well, maybe, being she doesn't have to do "coffee" in the morning.
