S10.E22: Reunion Part 3

[Jel]

Interesting that Dorinda agreed that on the plane it sounded like Beth said, "You're drunk".  

Also interesting that Carole had the big old sympathy face for Dorinda when she was crying, and was not freaked out and fearful by that show of emotion that she just can't take. Go figure.

Maybe he's auditioning to be the head chef on VPR

He wouldn't last an hour.

If he fucked up Stassi's goat cheese balls, she'd have him in tears.

Or Scheana would hit on him until he tried to go into Witness Protection.

I miss Xanex. Sigh. I can't wait for Luanne. She's gonna piss everyone off. She just took a picture in the Hamptons with Martha Stewart and Crazy Island Kelly. I'm thinking that may have been a message to B.

Those pictures don't mean anything.

[Soaper410]

My recap: 

Carole: Beth lies!

Sonya:  To my townhouse, goodbye!

Carole:  I’m a truth teller.  Bethenny lies!

Dorinda: Ugh deer shoes & My husband died.

Carole: Mine too & Bethany lied.

Romona:  We almost drown & I cried!

Tinsley:  Carole’s bashing our friendship and I have no pride!

Carole:  Bethenny is a bully and by the way, she lies

Bethenny:  Here are the receipts bitch & I’m gonna roll my eyes!

Carole: I’m Ghandi.  Bethenny lies!

Menacing. That was the word, thanks. Menacing is a pretty strong word and of course chosen to fit into her bullied narrative. And then her big explanation about her very large hippocampus (read that as her very large brain, because she is the smartest of all).

I understand Carole feeling uncomfortable but not feeling unsafe which 'menacing' implies.  For a writer, Carole often has trouble finding the right words.

Departing Words About Her Sexuality

JULY 25, 2018 BLIND GOSSIP

[Blind Gossip] Remember when we told you about that TV star who talks about men all the time… but actually has no interest in men at all?

Well, she’s done!

Pretending to be straight all the time has been stressful for her. She doesn’t like faking it but felt she had no other option other than to create man drama because that’s what everybody on the show does. Her girlfriend is very happy about her leaving reality TV. Don’t expect any departing words about her sexuality. That is not going to happen!

[tribeca]

Wonder if that was Jules drink at end ? 

I would like the reunion shows more if Bethany wasn’t the cohost but just a wife like the rest.  

Wasnt not impressed with her getting in Carole’s face over the stupid red scarf guy argument.   For the record I would not be a fan of anyone doing that.

Both divorce and death are tragic, but there is a finality to death that isn't truly there with a divorce. I think that might be what Carole and Dorinda are trying to say.

Sonja didn't make the comparison. Dorinda made it and projected it onto Sonja, and started yelling and carrying on and accusing Sonja of having cheated on her husband. Sonja got distracted because she was upset about the accusation and didn't think to defend herself in the moment. I've watched the scene multiple times to confirm this. If anyone who has access to the episode cares to watch it, I'd love to know what they see. I am really confused that this story has carried on for so long. And that Carole, amazing journalist and beacon of Truth that she is, has been corroborating it -- including in her blog after having watched the episode.

Can Housewives in general and Sonja in particular stop referring to people as "her gays"?

"My Gays on Wednesdays" felt really objectifying.  I'm not gay, so go ahead and correct me...... but it felt very strange to me.  Like she only lets gay people in her house on fucking Wednesdays!

Bethenny is still horrible (personal opinion).

I think what truly set Dorinda off in that instance was Sonja's flippant, muttered, "Yeah, we've heard about it 100 times". Sonja really doesn't have a leg to stand on there as she has been acting like her divorce was just yesterday when it's been over a decade.

She constantly brings up her ex and his family.

[QuinnM]

Lost in the screaming was Sonja moving out of the townhouse. Very touching.  Fun to see.  Hysterical that she was so proud that her curtains came over on the Mayflower.

[Bronzedog]

Ramona has always had wonky eyes.  Remember that fashion show she walked in years ago?  They actually seemed less pronounced in recent years.  Until tonight.

[MBJ]

Carole said she can't stands when people cry and then her voice was definitely breaking when she said she regrets failing at getting back together with Bethenny.

I've done a complete 180 on Carole because of this reunion, I admire her so much more now - HOWEVER, that hippocampus speech was horrrrrrrifying.  Oh my god, she is so smug!

It's okay to talk about how you deal with emotion, but don't say it's SUPERIOR to how others do it!!  Good lord!  She used so much language indicating it's superior like, "I'm not a panicker". Hhahahahahaah oh my god!!!!!  Read about being neurotic - neurotic people live longer and there's some positive things about panicking - it can save your life in some cases!

I really admired Tinsley being vulnerable and honest and saying Carole was hurting her feelings.  That was cool.  And Carole didn't need to do all that.

[AnnA]

The best part of this season.....

 

[Drumpf1737]

Can I ask why Sonja's allowed to talk about her marriage and ex-husband in the present tense but Carole can't/doesn't have a career?

I'll see myself out.

Why was anyone else from the cast even there?  Andy and Bethenny should have just done the reunion as a sit down with themselves for all the talking and talking over people she did.

Bethenny is a narcissistic sociopath.  DONE.

Carole's resume is pretty fucking impressive.

Hey Beth - being a gopher for some rich asshole isn't exactly rocket science. As much as a can't stand Carole and Carole plus adam makes me gag, Beth is just do horrible that it makes me side with Carole. Even at the end, Beth can't regret and take ownership of the things she did to implode her friendship with Carole and even when Carole was saying that she regretted not making up with Beth, it's never fucking enough for Beth. She has to be shitty to the end.

Remember when Phaedra woozed out because her Spanx were too tight? Good times!

That might have been the most entertaining part of the night for me. Carole trying with all her might, to make her voice quiver, and squeeze out a tear.  She only did that because everyone else, over the course of this three-parter, had moments of forgiveness and self-reflection. And Carole had...bitterness. She made Dorinda look warm, by comparison.

[Naughty Gossip] This Real Housewife has received a lot of abuse for defending her longtime boyfriend to the other ladies who just can’t understand why she is dating him.

However, what they don’t know is that he is the boss and she will do anything to make him happy – including dressing up in the bedroom.

One night, at a very boozy dinner, the kinky housewife announced that she dressed up as a clown and also a toy solider to keep her man sexually happy.

She confessed that he likes to be naked watching her march around to the “nutcracker” ballet music dressed up in red pants and wearing a tall black hat.

Another fantasy that the couple engaged in is role play where she is wearing a clown outfit and big red nose!

It's Carole!!!

[Mozelle]

I'll have to catch the 10 o'clock re-airing of the reunion, but I was checking the RHONY hashtag on Twitter, only see this tweet at the very top:

 

 

I also loved this one a few tweets down:

Here is what I saw:

Dorinda berates Sonja pretty aggressively for living in the past and always saying the same thing. Sonja is feeling upset and trying to defend herself and not making a lot of sense. Luann tries to comfort Sonja by saying "you've been through a lot, my love," and then Dorinda starts yelling "oh stop with the baloney, I buried a husband." Then Sonja says "yeah, we've heard that about 100 times." And then Dorinda puts her finger in Sonja's face and goes ballistic and starts saying "don't you dare compare me burying my husband to your divorce."

I don't disagree that Sonja constantly brings up her ex and his family. But Dorinda made the comparison between death and divorce, not Sonja. That's the issue. Dorinda and Carole vilified Sonja for making an unforgivable comparison, except the fact is Sonja didn't make the comparison.

If they want to criticize Sonja for talking too much about her ex, that's a different story. And Dorinda was already doing that.

[poeticlicensed]

I felt bad for Tinsley. She thought she was tight with Carole. She looked like she was going to cry when Carole casually waved off their friendship as nothing much. 

If sonja wants to wear Morgan slippers and pretend she is still yachting with princes, who cares? Why does dorinda have such a bug up her ass about it? 

[ShawnaLanne]

Carole is a delusional sociopath. Carole couldn't wait to back over Tinsley in her failed attempt to own Bethenny. Carole is a pathetic person whose most interesting EVERYTHING is associated with another more interesting person.

Amen.  That was exhausting.

I may have nightmares about Ramona’s face and whatever was happening there.  The Moanerbot hit a glitch?

Of course she had to get up and stretch bec of a cramp.  Just a coincidence that no one was paying any attention to her before she did it.

Super minority opinion, apparently, but I really liked Carole’s dress.  Not the ankle sock weirdness or the rest of her look, but just the dress.

I remember the episode. I also remember that the whole thing stemmed from Sonja insinuating that Ramona was banging her contractor.

You are correct that Dorinda was the one to make the direct comparison.

As an aside, I miss Lu's house. That place was freaking gorgeous.

I don't think anyone has defended that. I think people are debating how crazy and unreasonable Dorinda is. You can go back and see me slam Sonja about this, but this is the first time it's been brought up here.

[breezy424]

I said it last week and I'll say it again.  Shut up Beth.  Stop interrupting.

I wonder if Beth's opinion has changed about the difference between a divorce and losing significant other to death.

I also think Carole had the red scarf guy's texts correct.  Beth forgot that the 'dates' of the texts make a difference.  And red scarf guy even went out of his way to show those texts to some blog or whatever to show what really had happened.

I wish Andy had asked Beth about saying to Ro to call her when she was successful.

Lastly, with Beth's incredible resume, why does she feel the need to be on a reality shit show.

I think it's John and Dorinda. Dorinda comes across as the boss, no one understands why she's with him, Adam is attractive and young, I mean I get it, and the boozy thing.

[Mozelle]

So I'm watching now, and Sonja's tale of "Oh, if it weren't for the meddlesome lawyers, I'd be married" is so ridiculous. No lawyer is going to put into a spouse's head that he needs to divorce his wife. Why does Sonja refuse to come to terms with her ex-husband making an active decision not to be married to her anymore? Clearly he didn't have a problem with marriage as an institution as he's remarried; he just didn't want to be married to her any longer.
