I think I get why Dorinda made the big fiasco at the Cabaret night.  Sometimes in a relationship with two women, one is the “ giver” and the other a “ taker”.  Dorinda is the giver and Luann is the taker.  The ticket for John wasn’t a big deal until Dorinda made a big deal after Luann didn’t respond how Dorinda wanted her to do.  Luann didn’t go out of her way to invite John.  He was an afterthought.  Dorinda wanted Luann to prove how much she loves her and appreciated all the things she did for her past and present.  Luann didn’t show her any love or special attention, thus the resentment over John and the ticket.

I think LuAnn did it on purpose because she hasn't really forgiven Dorinda for the things she said in Colombia.

This makes a lot of sense to me.  Also: expectations.  Have had a few instances in my own life where my expectations of what was "considerate" did not match those of others.  It was eye-opening to me, but upon reflection I realized in the future,  I might need to state those expectations.

And that too, especially.  She was probably waiting for an opportunity to stick it to Dorinda once and for all.  At the time in a Columbia, I was wondering why Luann was letting her off the hook so easily.  She was waiting for the right time, and it came.  Dorinda was brutal that night, plus she had the fuck face on at the cabaret, my friend. Lol.

[nexxie]

I think the Dorinda-John-Lu-ticket scenario was a producer setup - the way Tinsley and Carole ran with it right off the top just didn’t ring true to their personalities.

Screaming "with your fake tits" isn't as effective when the person who says it has a set of her own

Why did Ramona demand the couches be flipped?  And she’s incapable of taking her own water?  Jeez.

i liked Bs dress, but not on her, washed her out and the fake breasts didn’t look good.  Apparently Sonja used interns for her hair, because they stopped and didn’t complete the back updo.

Found a bigger GIF for you to enjoy

I'm not buying Dorinda's explanation. I think she was already pissed because of the Sonja thing I said previously and used John as an excuse to let all the existing resentment fly out of her mouth.

They know in advance, the venue they are shooting, the time to show up - they have a schedule. This is not a surprise given the night beuore. Makeup, hair, wardrobe have to be planned. This is something, John and Dorinda would have known about a long time ago and could have asked Luann then. Even while trying on Jovani dresses.

There are only 2 group events John attended this season: Dorinda's Halloween party and Ramona's Hamptons Dinner Party. I think he was invited to come but would not be sitting at the table where only the HW were sitting. He was invited to the after party and would have been micced up then.

I think Carole encouraged Tinsley to tell Dorinda about Scott's invite - to keep the fight going between Luann/Dorinda - because she hates Luann.

Carole's outfit - it wasn't the most hideous outfit she's worn - but I think it's because she didn't accessorize for once. The dress was ultra cheap - it wasn't lined and you could see the one inch hem that has been put through a merrow machine. The cut of the halter top did not flatter her because she is sagging - she should have worn a bra with see through straps and she would have looked half way decent.

Speaking of the show itself - I thought it was odd that Victoria and Noel were not seated with Grandma and Auntie Renee.

 

My guess, Dorinda and John had a huge fight about coming to the last party of the season. He loves getting that  ugly mug on TV. Why would Dorinda wait till the last day to ask Luaanne?

The gift was sweet if a little boring. I was rewriting the second pillow in my mind. So many sentiments could have been a perfect companion pillow to "What Happens in Miami" such as "Ends In Divorce", "Ends With a Mug Shot" "Ends in Jail", "Ends Up On the Internet".....

She was totally going after the Las Vegas ad.  Which I didn’t actually like, because Luann assaulted a police officer and got so drunk she likely has NO memory of the evening.  The Vegas ad has a light-hearted feel, what Luann did was anything but that.  Also true of what Tinsley did to get arrested too.

Rewatching... Gotta love wow wow wow Ramona confronting Bethenny right when she was having a convo with Carole - nevermind the fact that Bethenny and Ramona sat next to each other for the show, and walked in together to the after party, so there were other opportunities to bring up this non issue btwn two women  (mona and BF) who are no longer friendly... wow... wow. WOW. *snort* (tee hee hee)

I actually did snort upon reading this, still can't stop laughing!  I re-watched the clip of Ramona walking away totally WOWed over and over and laughed like a hyena.

See I think that Carole walked in with the plan that she would control this thing.  Then as time went on Andy decided that Carole needed to be reminded that HE controls this thing and that thing and everything.  Then he goes for Carole and anyone else that isn’t following his plan.  And Carole got all pissy with him afterwards and it was bye Felecia.

Wow, interesting post.  But some issues.  What's wrong with people of "higher age demographic" making out?  Are you supposed to just shut yourself away when you turn "a certain age?"  I think not.

Also, what is the "real world?"  I mean your real world may not be mine and vice versa.  I only say this because I work in academia and that world is a heck of a lot different than say, the corporate world...or maybe not.  When you think about it, all worlds are pretty much the same.

And 1% ers aren't the only ones when NO diversity. 

Nothing wrong with people of a higher age demographic making out -- I was just stating a fact -- that's what was happening. I also think that once you're out of your 20s, making out like a teenager in a bar is a bit inappropriate. For me, its a decorum issue. I'm not saying NO PDA! and I'm about the furthest thing from prudish, but I personally think its kind of tacky to be making out like a horny teenager in an upscale establishment where people are having dinner and cocktails. In a bit less public place (not saying behind closed doors only), I say go all kinds of crazy -- whatever floats your boat! 

Yes, the real world is subjective, but whether you're corporate, academia, nonprofit (which is my world), the worlds are, as you stated, pretty much the same. But that's my whole point -- Palm Beach is not. It doesn't feel "real" in any sort of way. Like I said, it feels like a movie set, and I'm still struggling to try to effectively explain it.

Fair point about the diversity comment.

Given that Bethenny likes to speak fast AND skip texts that don't align with the narrative she's pushing, I don't know how her jumping up like a Jack-in-a-box and shoving a phone in someone's face will prove anything.

The minute that a woman jumps out of her seat (like a Jack-in-a-box) and shoves her phone in another's face and shouts at other woman is the minute that first woman has totally lost her shit. If you can't remain seated and fairly stable while stating your side of the argument, then your argument begins to lose credibility. 

Bethenny seems to be a mess during the whole season, worse at the reunion.

She loses a good friendship. Several of her coworkers express their disappointment with her at the reunion. I can't even imagine the impact of Dennis' death on her. This has got to be the final straw for her.

In my opinion, she needs to take some time away from the cameras and social media, focus on Bryn and her personal life, privately and fix her shit.

Unfortunately, it appears that she needs to have reality tv cameras and a giant social media presence to feel relevant. I wonder how long it will take her to come back to instagramming multiple times during the day/night. From what I have observed there are way too many silly posts in a 24 hour period. Seriously, I hope that she gives that up. Up until Dennis' death. I wonder if this has put things in perspective for her.

I have the same opinion about Lu, fix your addiction, fix your family and get away from the cameras and reality tv bullshit.

Honestly Bethenny and Lu, Reality TV and Social Media are fucking you both up.

My raccoon is quite musical, and could accompany drown out Luann's singing by playing the windchimes.

Walnutqueen will arrive with party favors for all - fabulous Pam McCoy faux fur coats (NOT rented by Crooks to "gift" Vicky) and some lovely leather jackets; vintage purses; and all the sparkly vintage costume jewelry your hearts desire.

Then I'll bogart all the caviar condiments and retire to my room with a bottle of vodka and a platter of crab legs.

One of the biggest things I learned out of this episode - don't bother asking Dorinda for help with something, or to get connected to one of her connections. Because as gawd is my witness, if you don't thank her in the appropriate way, complete with banners, marching band, confetti canons and what not - you will pay. And pay. And pay. #NutcrackerGate #JovaniGate

Well, from the other side of the pool...Beth never said directly to Dorinda, thanks for hooking me up with the nut cracker nor did Lu directly thank Doris for hooking her up with the Cabaret  outfits?  I don't think Doris wanted a banner or parade.  She just wanted a simple thank you.  Neither Beth or Lu gave that.

I’m way behind because I just watched tonight, but Bethenny’s and Luann’s explanation about inviting Scott made sense to me, and it was what I was thinking before Bethenny brought it up because Dorinda talked to her at 9:00 and Tinsley heard from her at 10:00.

I'm of a "certain age," probably way past a certain age.  I'd like to think that if I want to sit at a classy bar that's willing to take our money and smooch with some old guy, that I'll be too hard-of-hearing to hear all the cruel comments of those judges who are within the designated appropriate age range.

I don’t have much to say that hasn’t already been said. I’ve had Money Can’t Buy You Class & Chic C'est La Vie stuck in my head for over 24 hours now, and although it’s driving me crazy, it makes me chuckle. Ramona’s “performance” with Bethenny was hilarious. She is so nuts, but I’ve grown to enjoy her craziness. It’s definitely entertaining. Dorinda’s drunk Jovani! heckling was too much. Then the joker makeup later in the night. She needs rehab way more then Luann! I too was surprised that there was nothing regarding Dennis’ death. I thought for sure there would be something.

I went to rewatch the scene with the nutcracker to be sure I remembered it right. That B had thanked D. And I hadn't remembered it exactly, but I was right. If that makes sense.  She said expressed huge appreciatiation to Dorinda. While Bethenny did initially thank the person who physically brought the nutcracker, she told Dorinda, "You Saved Christmas." I mean what bigger of a an expression of gratitude could Bethenny give to Mrs. Christmas herself, Dorinda, than, you saved Christmas? 

Watching Carole talk about it in her TH and to the other women, Carole was laying the seeds of discord even that early in the season.

Absolutely agree.  No way would that have been the theme of the evening.   Bravo was desperate for content.  I also wondered if there was some last minute editing because of Dennis' death that required showing more footage of Lu's show and afterparty.  It was excessive.

I don't even think it's about "John"

When Dorinda first blew up at Luann in Cartagena over "you're starting to turn", Dorinda's reaction was so disproportionate to what Luann said.

I've said it before, I think it has more to do with Sonya. She hates Sonja, and feels that Luann did not back her up or side with her enough in terms of Sonja. It was Sonja who was invited to stay at Luann's house in the Hamptons, Sonja wasn't reprimanded enough by Luann at breakfast in the Sonja/Dorinda widow/divorce fight. Luann did not side with Dorinda on the family crest sniping - because Luann clings on to her Countess title. It was Dorinda who connected Luann to Jovani, yet Luann invited Sonja to be part of the cabaret show. This was most annoying to Dorinda as the show is called Countess and "Friends" - so Sonja ranks higher than Dorinda. A few years ago during off season Luann and Dorinda did a skit on stage with Avenue Q. In this episode, did you notice where Bridgett asked Dorinda if she would consider doing it and Dorinda said sure she "does it all". Problem is Dorinda wasn't asked by Luann, Sonja was.

I think this is why Dorinda keeps going to her "loyalty" schtick, a friend who stood by her - and in Dorinda's eyes Luann is choosing Sonja over her - therefore not being loyal or standing by her

 

Yep.  Dorinda always says “ I’m a good person, I make it nice.”  She has done favors for everyone, invited them up to the Bezerkshires, flew with Carole for the ashes, got Bethenny the Nutcracker, got Luann the dresses, etc.  Nobody is showing her the love she craves.  She is not feeling appreciated.  As they say, “ the truth comes out when a person is drunk.”  Dorinda has shown this behavior every time lately.  She is jealous that everyone else is getting the attention, but her.  You hit the nail on the head Kung Foo.  The only thing tho, is Dorinda hits way below the belt.  People cannot forget those jabs.  She is way too harsh.

We don't? Bethenny saying "I'm so thankful" at Dorinda's home, and then later "you saved Christmas" along with her reaction when she received it, aren't thanks enough? I'm sure Lu thanked her as well. We honestly don't know if either also gave a simple thank you. And ultimately you don't give people stuff to get in return, yes, common decency usually indicates it but I have a hard time believing neither woman thanked her - they just didn't thank her on camera in the way she expected them to (although again, we literally heard and saw Bethenny say "I'm so thankful" while drooling all over Dorinda at her house....) I'm not sure how inviting John to the show would be a fitting thank you for Dorinda connecting Lu to Jovani.

Imagine that same cold, soulless “Noted” response when a blooming, teenaged Bryn confronts her controlling, jealous mother about some injustice - chilling.

I'm still feeling sorry for Bethenny, because of Dennis, so it feels kind of wrong to bag on her right now but this has been bugging me since Scary Island >> When she screamed at Kelly,  "Go to sleep.  GO TO SLEEP!".  I felt sorry/scared for the baby she was carrying because I knew that child would, someday, end up on the receiving end of that vicious tongue .

Same with Dorinda's unhinged, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH" in Cartagena. And so many other threatening, spittle soaked admonishments.  Poor Hannah. :-(

It wouldn't surprise me if every person on this forum who has ever snarked about Dorinda one day got a hammering at their door at four in the morning, opening it only to find a drunken Dorinda slurring, pointing, and flipping her head from side to side in that aggressive way she does, all the while having lipstick smeared over her face. 

The visual of one of us following messy Dorinda's point-y finger with our eyes like a dog tracking a playfully proffered treat and then chomping the end of that finger ....gives me great pleasure.
