S10.E20: Reunion Part 1

How can people think Dorinda is NOT a drunk?  She drinks, she slurs her words, she insults people, then has to be carried out by her boyfriend, she doesn't remember what she does the next day.  THAT'S A DRUNK, PEOPLE.

How can Dorinda not think she is a drunk?  I would hope that if I sat and watched myself act like that that I would KNOW I was a drunk.  How do you not see yourself.  Man that is some magical denial.

[Sheenieb]

This pile on is making me pro-Bethenny. I always went back and forth with Carole. Sometimes I like her, sometimes I don't, but this reunion made me realize that I won't miss her. She is not coming across well at all. The constant asides and interrupting are too damn much. If she's so unbothered, then she shouldn't be getting this froggy.

Dorinda is the type of person you never want to do you a favor. She will never let you forget it. Jesus, what does she want? A thank you written in blood?

Ramona is going to stroke out if she doesn't chill. Like, if you're living your best life, then why do you give a shit if some frenemy shows up to your event or not? When you're being underestimated, it should light a fire under your ass to get your shit together. I would've told Ramona to fuck off too if I were Bethenny. Bethenny owes her nothing. 

And yeah, Dorinda is a drunk. Everyone knows this, but they're all scared to say it.

I'd like to see a comparison montage of all the times the other women have supported her while she's crying.

Bethenny isn’t accusing them of not being supportive. Thats their accusation and so he’s backing her up with proof that she does support women and housewives too.

[ShawnaLanne]

Getting drunk and being a drunk are different things, as shown by Dorinda this year.

Dorinda deflecting on her being a drunk. Wish Lu was there, I’ll bet she’d have the balls to call Dorinda a drunk to her lying face.

Bethenny is the big draw. More camera time at the party.

If that could be a housewives product it would be a bestseller instantly and make someone millions. 

[Neurochick]

Carole is such an idiot.  Sure Bethenny drinks, they all drink.  But do their personalities change when they drink?  Do they blackout?  Do they have to be carried out of a party because they're so drunk?  Do they get defensive about their drinking?  I would never want Carole to be my friend because she'd just feed into someone's denial.

[rehoboth]

I do think this is the best dressed Housewives Reunions show (with Carol bringing down the average).

[Martinigirl]

I tend to do the same when I know I'm in the right. 

[ShawnaLanne]

When was the last time we saw Bethenny drunk on camera? Or Carole? Carole, you know the difference. STFU. She even talked about it in a TH this year.

That's the thing about Bethenny, she does love to label people and she talks more $#!t about these girls behind their backs; it's pathetic! When she's busted, she gets all bold and tough, but you can tell she's crushed inside and puts on a front! She's so FOS! ;-)

It's a combination of her outfit and her hair face. Her face looks like ass.

So basically it's "She by Sheree."

How can people think Dorinda is NOT a drunk?  She drinks, she slurs her words, she insults people, then has to be carried out by her boyfriend, she doesn't remember what she does the next day.  THAT'S A DRUNK, PEOPLE.  Her personality changes when she drinks, if that happens you have a problem, woman.

Also, she sounds like someone who's sat on a barstool for a long time smoking Camels and drinking whiskey.

There Dorinda goes being defensive about her drinking....no one but a drunk gets defensive about drinking, but a drunk.

 

Let's hope Ramona falls asleep next week

True.  there is a big difference between having one drink too many and turning into an arm-waiving, finger-pointing, venom-spewing motor mouth.

Until she chose to allie herself with Dorinda and Ramona, she would have been all over that crap. It's highlighting her hypocrisy.

I don’t know who I dislike more, Carole or Dorinda.  Guess it’s a tie.  So happy Carole is leaving.  Wish Dorinda would too.

It's not a constant. That is the difference.

I liked this  show so much more when Bethany wasn’t on it. 

Edited August 23, 2018 by tribeca

Andy is the only one who could get this far in the drunk talk because he keeps her on camera.

Ramona knows that nobody is a drunk....yeah, right Ramona.

If all the other women wouldn't obsess over her so much and try to use her to further their storylines, it would be so much better.

[Mindthinkr]

Has Sonja gotten in more than one sentence? They could save camera time if they just put her and Tinsley on the same couch because the camera would never need to pan over there.

[Fiero425]

OMG, did Carole go off on ANDY in the preview for part 2? No wonder she's gone! lol! ;-)

Ooooooooh....Carole, don't come for Andy when he is right. Dumb bitch!

You asked when we had seen her drunk on the show. I responded.

I made no editorial comment on anyone else's drinking.

[ShawnaLanne]

Lol. Carole telling Andy, You're so full of bullshit Andy, I didn't bash her on the show, with anger and disdain. Whelp. The fired or quitting question has been answered.

[rehoboth]

I think that for Carol the talking head segments do not count as part of the show.  Or the blogs.  That's the only way I can explain her comment about not bashing anyone on the show.

The look on Bethenny’s face when Andy asked Dorinda whether she thought she wasn’t drunk all the time.  It’s like she thought Andy was going to roll out a clip real.  And he may next week.  The last clip in the preview of Andy yelling at Carole, man he does not like her.

Now I was someone that read his book (listened to it while I walked) and he called Bethenny and Carole friends that he had to not invite to his annual Christmas party.  His party is a big deal, fascinating guest list, Carole he said was the hardest call because they had been friends since they both started in news.  But dammmnnnn, he does not like her right now.  I’m telling you this goes beyond this show.  She did or said something that got back to him.

I think that was the exact moment that Carole Radziwill was 1000% done with Housewives.

Can't say I blame her, really.

But she did on the show. The entire last three episodes was the I hate Bethenny show. It never stopped. She just thinks we are all stupid. If the Princess denies it, it must be so.

Dorinda will never admit publicly that she is an alcoholic or a drunk. This would mean she could never have a drink again.

I see her possibly admitting to anger issues in her future or saying she never grieved properly but never to something where she could no longer imbibe

[Gem 10]

Carole’s upper lip is uneven.  Her right is bigger than the left.  Do they Botox one side at a time?

Andy is a POS and one of the more loathsome creatures on Earth; and that's saying something as a "sister!" He's $#!t on a stick and a vile character the way he plays with people's lives! ;-(

I'll say this over and over again.  I think the other women are upset because, for whatever reason, Bethenny is the star of this series.  When she wasn't on the show, the ratings were down.  I think there was one year NYC Housewives wasn't even on the air.  When Bethenny came back, so did many viewers.  Love her or hate her, people like to watch her, and that's what Bravo cares about. 

I think what also pisses the other women off is that Andy Cohen obviously likes her.  Andy's been getting VERY transparent lately, you can tell who he likes and who he doesn't like (He hates Monique on Potomac), VERY easily.  Maybe that's why Carole quit, she realized that Andy didn't like her.  Look at his face when her phone went off, he looked like he wanted to throw both Carole's phone and Carole out the window.

Dorinda too. They are both so nasty.

I think Dorinda is so much worse -- she gets energized from hate. That's creepy. Put a couple drinks in her and she's a full on character assassin. She must hate herself at some level. Aw dammit, now I feel bad for her.

Carole's anger seems more butthurt to me.

[Straycat80]

Well, that hour flew by! Did Sonja and Tinsley say anything other than under breathe remarks? Part two looks crazy and Carole goes after Andy. Can’t wait!

I agree, but think Andy does like Carole, but she's having a hard time accepting that she lost to Bethenny. Carole is used to winning the friendship game, and this has come as a surprise to her.

I don't think any of the housewives are ready for that.  They may 'take a break' from drinking, lay low for awhile, do a little charity work....  Stop drinking - not gonna happen unless they are in dire straits.

Maybe he USED to like Carole, but he's not liking her at this reunion.

[retiredviewer]

Before I even read any posts here are my thoughts:

Ramona is an angry, jealous woman. She kept interrupting everytime Andy said anything about Betheny.

Carole is delusional and a liar. She has said so many more nasty things about Bethanny than Bethanny has said about her. She also was rude.

Dorinda must really want a story line next year. She was really out to get Bethanny. And she is a drunk and the other women know it.

Tinsley and Sonja really were quiet so I have nothing to say.

I really thing most of them got together and decided to gang up on Bethanny. The last time Luanne tried to do that she became a friend. Dorinda and Carole better watch out.

It's just so hard to relate to this! Going back to college, I can take it or leave it when it came to booze! My family lived thru the cocktail generation, often me being the bartender as a 14/15 yo.! It just did nothing for me! The 1st time I got toasted was in college with 3 Heinekens! It was an isolated thing! Didn't happen again for years! I can go weeks or months without a drink, but it seems to be the life's blood of reality stars; akin to hookers who need to forget what they're doing! ;-)

I do not know why any of these women do this. Except the money. Okay I get it for the money. But many of them come on with a good bank account so they do it for fame, and I would not want fame at that cost. Personal dignity, credibility, friendships always end and that's just what we see on TV.

Ohh. Bethenny saying I've been to one intervention, I'm not doing another tonight. I wonder if Dorinda will foam at the mouth. She's already been mean enough to Sonja to indicate she's been drinking.

Does anyone know what the other intervention was that Bethenny attended?  Did they have one for Luann before she went to rehab?

[rehoboth]

Bethenny mentioned that she had just been at an intervention - could that have been for Dennis?  I missed the beginning (damn early time slot) of the show; did they mention him at all since he did appear multiple times?
