S10.E15: Wigging Out

[Feline Queen]

Bethenny basically has the same problem that Halle Berry has with her baby daddy Gabe Aubrey. They both tried to turn what should've just been a sperm donor arrangement into an actual relationship. I feel sorry for both men who've been minimalized in their children's lives. 

I wonder if Ramona bothered going back for the wheelchair or if she left it in the road.

Luanne really looked like Sophia Vergara. 

The arrangement of roses did look like something that would be on the altar at a funeral and the hideousness was compounded by the initials (and something a high school guy would send his girl) but the card accompanying it was sweet.  Some people who split for a brief period and then reunite don't 'deduct' that from the total time they're together. I know someone who split with baby daddy #4 went back to baby daddy #3 and then returned to #4 and they just celebrated their 8th anniversary without mentioning the gap.

Loved Dorinda's colorful dress and even liked the gladiator style sandals. Just not together.

Someone needed to tell Carole they weren't in New Orleans and it wasn't Mardi Gras.

Sonja was kind of a non-entity this episode.

As far as the house.  I'm wondering if it's a bit difficult to find a place big enough that will allow filming? I'm shocked there was no fighting over the rooms despite Tinsley's necklace lottery. Which was a cute idea. I don't know why she apologized for them being made of silver instead of gold. Who cares? It was a nice, personalized gesture.  Although I don't understand why she said she couldn't afford to get the gold versions considering how much money she seems to blow through.

Bethenny and Kyle should get together and market fashionable epipens.

Maybe hanging up her own clothes and unpacking things wouldn't be such a HUGE chore for Ramona if she would learn how to pack correctly....it always looks like she brings an entire season wardrobe for a few nights' stay.  I say this as a notorious overpacker, as I tend to bring more clothes than I ever need or wear on vacation, but I'm getting better.  Color coordination and double duty clothes are much smarter.  I guess, though, God forbid, any of the housewives are seen wearing the same thing twice on one vacation.  Even with that, though, it seems highly unlikely that she wears every single thing in her oversized suitcases.

Talking about clothes, am I crazy or what?  Whenever they go on vacation, even if they’re going to dinner on their patio, they all have to get dressed to the nines with full makeup and hair, high heels .. the whole enchilada.  I could see if they’re going to a nice restaurant, but no .. they still get dressed up.  Look at Carole .. walking thru the streets in a getup like she was going to the Grammys.  If they weren’t on t.v., would they still do that?   Give me the simple life.  Tinsley even flew her entire makeup people down and put them up in a hotel.  Can’t the do makeup and hair by themselves?   O.k., I know Scott sent the crew down.  Still.   Next, I’d like to see them go camping.  Could you all imagine?  Lol.  Maybe Luann will take them upstate N.Y. To camp.

I sometimes do that. Not the hair and makeup crew, but I usually pack a few nicer things for dinner. Even when it’s a vacation home instead of a restaurant, I feel like dinner during a trip is often the main event of the day. I like to change clothes and look a little nicer. But that’s just me. I wouldn’t look at anyone funny if they showed up to dinner in sweats. Everyone has fun in their own way.

With this crew I feel like they know the dinners are when the alcohol is flowing and shit gets crazy so it’s going to make the final edit.

This is the third condo Beth has moved to? I understand moving to the second condo. But this move was not necessary. 

Supposedly she wanted to sell it to make a huge profit. I don't know if she did net a huge profit but she did sell it within just a few days. She thinks of herself as quite the real estate mogul.  She also guts every property she purchases and renovates from the bare bones. Must be nice to be so wealthy. And still, she's miserable.

The condo that sold in one day was the diest one once Jason moved out. The second condo that she is moving from still hasn’t sold and is or was on the market to rent.

I know Beth is an absolute ass-ache but it's startling how seemingly easy it is for Carole to completely not care about Beth.   Cold doesn't begin to describe it.

Bethenny behaved repugnantly basically ignoring Carole's marathon efforts, and then dissing Adam wanting PR comp to others. And there's Carol writing a check to help PR residents in support of her friend too. All the more power to Carole in respecting herself and self worth to recognize Bethenny is not her friend and moving on.

 I believe the second one she owned after she sold the first one that Jason finally moved out of is the one sold in one day. Fredrik from MDLNY listed it, they argued over the list price, B wanted to list it higher and she was right. Of course, that could all have been BS for the show or the sale fell through. If it's on the market for rent now then B made a bad business decision. She should have just continued to live there. The market in NYC is not as hot as it was a couple of years ago. 

The second one still hasn’t sold, she put it up for rent.  The place she lived with Hoppy and he stayed in is the one that sold in a day.

I think that’s what is making Bethenny crazy.  She thought they were friends.  The condescending way Carole speaks to her now is so scarey.  I really thought we were going to find out Bethenny slept with Adam or something.  But now I think Carole got tired of it and moved on.  I wonder what Carole thinks about WWHL.  Andy, the shit stirrer that hates women, asks every single celebrity guest if they are team Bethenny or team Carole.  Every single celebrity guest says Bethenny.  Poor Kristin Chenowith actually apologized to Tinsley before she declared herself team Bethenny.

Maybe, the celebs are afraid of Bethenny's wrath if she doesn't get their vote.  She is childish and quite revengeful. I could imagine she could start something mean on a celeb. 

 And now, she's so contradictory.  At first, she's offended that Carol didn't tell her about the date, then she denies they are friends.  She was so jealous.  She can't stand for anyone to get one up on her. She just had to rain on Carol's few minutes of amusement, talking about a date.  No big deal, but, fun chatter for the ladies, but, no....Beth would not let that go.  She has to piss on it and rob Carol's moments.  Just a mean girl, imo.  And, if the attention on her fades, she either acts all insolent or feigns panic.  She's very charming, so it works with some people.  Only after people really get your number does it wear itself out.  I think Carol has it now. 

And, she couldn't let Tinsley have a good time either.  Had to bring her happiness down by implying the place wasn't good enough for her.  And, she admitted why she did it. She said that this was a trip for Tingsley and Carol and she was not included.  My goodness, if she wasn't so funny at times, I'd totally hate her. 

I think everyone else tried to have a good time. Can someone remind me why Columbia, though?  It did look nice.

A woman with a tall, and lithe body like LuAnn could have pulled off Carole's look. Instead, Carole looked like a slutty Miss Havisham.

Bethenny allergic reaction would be a legit reason for having a panic attack. However, she should had bowed out of going out, and rested and started fresh the next day. 

Carole was goading Bethenny by bring up Brian at dinner, and wanted B to react with jealousy. I thought it was a calculated move on Carole's part. She likes to poke the bear. Generally, I find Carole lacks compassion. She seems oblivious to other people's hurt, and pain. 

Ramona is unreal. The wheelchair while wearing heels,  the 'no butter' request, and wanting the staff to hang up her clothes. Miquel is the hero for all people who have ever worked in hospitality when he walked out out on her. It was hilarious. Even the elevator wasn't having no part of her diva behavior!

Scott really is a great boyfriend. He not only flew in a glam squad, but sent Tinsley a Cartier bracelet, and a funeral 'may their love never die' floral arrangement. Was it a little over the top? Maybe, but very thoughtful, and sweet. Tinsley is definitely thoughtful in the gift-giving department, and the little Tiffany necklaces were a lovely touch to gift the ladies, and a great way to settle the impending room selection of doom. 

 Lu was still in party mode, and the wig was a nice touch. She'd be fun to travel with. What was she smoking at the table?

I'm over Dorinda this season. She is definitely likes stirring the pot, and then denies it later on. Also, she gets really nasty when she drinks too much. Maybe she was told to amp it up. but it isn't a good look for her.

You're absolutely right! 

I actually had the luxury of doing just this once and it was *the* best move ever.

I left for work after the movers arrived and I handed off the keys.  They packed everything and transported it to my new condo just a few miles away.

When I left work that day,  I went straight to my new condo and those little scamps had arranged all of the furniture just about exactly where I myself would have placed it.

Pretty much all I had to was unpack my kitchen stuff.

Unfortunately, that was the only time I've had such luxury in moving.  Subsequent moves were the usual pain in the ass.  

I envy Bethenny going on a beautiful vacation and returning to a new living quarters.

Now if only she'd actually relax and enjoy the vacation.

    Yes, moving is very stressful.  Once, I packed the whole house, then took my cat on a plane to Florida to a brand new house we bought.  My husband closed on the house, then drove down with the rest.  After one year, I had enough of decorating and not working and missed my kids terribly.  We sold the house in four months thankfully, I packed up again and moved back to New York near the kids and got my job back.  Bought a condo (less work around the house for him) and both are happy.  Never again, except you know where .. the last place, lol.  Moving is a bitch.

No - you're not the only one. Or at least I'm sitting next to ya feeling the same way ;) . It's one of the things I like about RHONY - for the most part, Tins excluded, the women aren't afraid to be filmed without makeup and looking like they just woke up. There was an episode recently where Bethenny had the dark under eyes that lots of folks commented about. Although I agree she has some serious dark under eyes and excellent makeup skills she uses to hide them - I appreciated her being seen undone. It's refreshing compared to every other RH franchise where "glam squads" seem to be the new norm. I think it's just Tins that has to be completely done up at all times. Another reason for her to not come back next season (although I don't find her completely objectionable, lol). I completely cringed when the scene came on with Tins and her "gift from Scott Glam Squad" getting her face on and hair done...

One thing I will say in Beth's favor is that she (and Dorinda) seem the least invested in being attractive to men.  Her looks, her styling, even her marriage, seem like they are done to show that she has control and can attain goals.

Then there is Carole. Carole's identity is hugely wrapped up in being seen as attractive, YOUNG and desirable.  That's why she's wearing these ridiculous get-ups, why she had to gloat about being "picked" by Brian (she left out that he hadn't bothered to get her phone number that night) and it's why she has always hated Luanne

The whole falling out between Beth and Carole comes down to Beth, unthinkingly saying to Carole that Adam is "an operator", thus blowing the lid off the ruse that even Carole's BFF believed Adam was just head overheals with Carole and never noticed that she was 20 years older because she is so attractive and youthful (oh and thanks for the five star vacations and TV time.)  That was an unpardonable sin to Carole.  Her ego could not handle being told by her friend that Adam had used her.

Dorinda is a blabbermouth, “bone carrier” (or however it’s phrased when talking about Sheree).

Maybe, but very thoughtful, and sweet. Tinsley is definitely thoughtful in the gift-giving department, and the little Tiffany necklaces were a lovely touch to gift the ladies, and a great way to settle the impending room selection of doom. 

 Lu was still in party mode, and the wig was a nice touch. She'd be fun to travel with. What was she smoking at the table?

I'm over Dorinda this season. She is definitely likes stirring the pot, and then denies it later on. Also, she gets really nasty when she drinks too much. Maybe she was told to amp it up. but it isn't a good look for her. 

 

The topic of the speed dating came up because LuAnn brought it up.

I mean, they do tend to be narcissists? Or at least dramatic outbursts and pathological attention-seeking resonate with them. (I know...not all celebrities...lol.)

I wonder if Ramona saw the irony in the fact that she's always extra with the staff helping her pack and the time she actually could have used some help she was left to fend for herself, lol. 

Bethenny is certainly not the kindest person but her behaviour seemed off even for her. She said from the start that she wasn't in the best place to go on a vacation and she should have stuck with her gut and not gone. I wonder if she went because she had to or if she also partly went because she hoped the change of scenery would help her forget her problems for just a little bit. Bethenny unhinged is usually nasty and mean. This Bethenny was unhinged with complete emotional turmoil. 

I love that LuAnn was still down to have fun even though she wasn't drinking. She seems naturally drawn to adventure and just enjoying life, and obviously that has come with some bad decisions along the way, lol.

Sorry. I just meant that she has a LOT of money, yet she does not have a lot else going for her that could make her happy.

Geez, Bethenny laying on the bathroom floor gagging and the other ladies sitting downstairs drinking and eating. Hope she did bring the Benadryl with her. 

Why didn't she ask what the soup was before she tried it? They are in a costal city know for their fresh fish. IMO, it was all an act for attention.

Lu not drinking, oddly, seems to make Beth cranky.

Everything makes Bethenny cranky unless she is in total control.

I'm with Bethenny....that pool looked gross

Yet, there she was in said gross pool the next morning, wailing away to Tinsley for sympathy and an excuse for her nasty behavior.

Also did you catch Bethenny said Carole was Having a later in life crisis, not a midlife crisis. She is such a slick bi***

Yes.  I caught it and she's right.   Carole is 54 years old. She'd have to live to 108 for this to be a midlife crisis.

These women were very obnoxious ugly Americans with the cocaine comments. Like seriously you stupid bitches thats offensive. Read a book.

Carole is a very unfortunate looking try hard. UGH. Have grown to despise her.

Dorinda shoes were horrible. The only ones who dressed well on this trip were Bethany, Luanne and suprisingly Sonia. Tinsley had a few cute pieces. Everyone else looked like shit. Both Carole and Ramona looked terrible in their dresses at the dinner.

Bethany. I feel for her because I been there with mean bitches attacking you that were your friends. But I was 15. When. It. Happened. 

And I didn't join in on an anorexic coworker in her moment of relapse. But I was on her side at dinner. Carole is a hypocrite. She talked so much about Luanne and Tom and Look at her defending this guy. Why didn't Bethany take out the receipts? 

Same reason she gets shit for Adam"Thats like Sonia young." Her words towards Luanne in pre Adam obsession seasons. Over her.

No one attacked Bethenny, she got nasty with them and they had/have a right to defend themselves from her attacks.

Isn’t calling LuAnn, in that ridiculous wig and lipstick, a big dumb drag queen, or just a drag queen an INSULT to drag queens? I’m honestly asking... is there a drag queen in the house that can answer?

Carol pretends to be something / someone she's not. 

Bethenny crying over a lost friendship is more real than Carol will ever be.

Bethenny is the one that threw away that friendship, not Carole. Bethenny talked smack about Carole, Carole/Adam, to pretty much everyone but when Carole would ask if Bethenny was upset with her, Bethenny would deny it. Then they finally have a sit down, hug it out and Bethenny goes right back to smack talking Carole and ignoring her, she went so far that she refused to even sit beside Carole at a group dinner. Carole isn't responsible for the friendship failing, that is Bethenny's doing.

As I understand it, it was Beth suing for custody,  not the other way around.

Bethenny is trying to get "primary" custody of Bryn and she was the one that filed/instigated this custody battle, not Jason.

Yeah. That was funny as f@@@. And Carole deserves it. She isn't middle aged, and she's butt hurt that a friend pointed out her ex may not be such a great guy, and no one threw poor Carole the right kind of party for her marathon. I've had good friends run marathon's and triathalon's and not one of them expected me to be there or throw them a party. Normal people don't expect that. Normal people don't complain that a party isn't good enough for them. B is a piece of work, but Carole is too.

I'm sure you won't be surprised but I disagree.   Carole is a bitch and has ragged on Bethenny in every TH all season.  Neither one of us is going to change our opinion so let's just agree to disagree.

I thought so too and just posted up thread that Carole would have to live to 108 for this to be a midlife crisis.   LOL

The phrase isn’t based on a persons actual lifetime it is defined in dictionaries as between the ages of 45 and 65, so both Carole and Bethenny are middle aged.
