I think Carole's point about Tinsley was that they were friends and they liked one another but they weren't thick as thieves and 'best' friends.  Beth tried to make it out like they were and that Carole was somehow rejecting 'her' because of it.  Carole did a poor job of explaining it and Beth was oversensitive about it because she wasn't Carole's number one focus. 

Beth is exhausting.

Rum. 

And coke. 

Dorinda was unusually quiet tonight.  And the crying in the end with Bethenny.  What a joke,  Dorinda was securing her Apple.  Wonder if she comes back surly and bombed next season.  I think so.  A leopard doesn’t change its spots.

[islandgal140]

One thing I am utterly shocked about is Bethanny not be deservedly dragged for filth by Dorinda over B's comment essentially belittling Richard's professional accomplishments. I think it was around the time of the Mexican trip or maybe the big brouhaha over death vs divorce, but B essentially made Richard out to be some middling guy who didn't have much influence and wasn't that important, when in fact the man was a highly respected economist who ran with and advised the biggest of big dogs in the highest of DC & finance circles and taught at Ivy League schools.  I thought it was one of the more heinous things B did all season and it only crossed my mind again as B was listing her resume.  Saying that shit about Richard wasn't necessary and was so fucking petty to say about a dead man who she didn't even know and whom she knows is still actively being mourned by his widow.  Why did Dorinda not lose her ever loving shit over this? 

I have to side with Carole just over that 'Andy you are so full of shit!" outburst. Sorry, not sorry. 

I believe Carole more than I believe Bethenny but boy does she make it hard. Hippocampus bitch really?? Carole is smug and she is pretentious and unaware. She really believes she didn't shit talk B on the show? I don't even fault her for it but like Lisa Rinna says: own it!

The shit chronicles was too damn much. 

B's bowling ball boobs were extra distracting during part 3. 

I want to see Sonja's new apartment. 

kudos on ramona's self reflection on her entitlement to a bigger bedroom. It only took her 10 seasons.

Everyone talmbout Carole signed with Verve. My ass so thinking she signed up to be a spokesperson for a liquor company. LOL! Didn't realize it was a talent agency.

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.

Yes, it is true that Dorinda was the one that made the comparison but Sonja did go on to say that she thought her divorce was like a death and B took her side. I know Dennis wasn't her husband or even fiance, hell they weren't even technically dating at the time of his death, but I wonder if B would walk back her original statement.

Carole is now off the show, the season is over as are her only so many summers, hopefully she will quit the twat twitters about the show and if she does respond it will only be to say she is no longer involved with this franchise with no further explanations, justifications or qualifications. LET IT GO!

See all you fine posters next season if there is one as it's always a pleasure to post with you all!

OMG, I had compared Carole's look to a shrunken apple headed doll, but yours works too. Her dress does look like a suit of armor. 

I love that Carole kept insisting that she only went after Beth in her blogs after she saw the season air, but they kept cutting to Carole being nasty about Beth during the season. The only truthful thing Carole said during the whole reunion was that only 2 people read her blog. 

Watching the part again of Tins jumping off the couch, I am back to hearing her tell Carole "Take your hands off me!". But regardless, whether she said that or "What is wrong with me?", Carole comes out looking like the bitch she is. 

Interesting that Beth is fine with all the women other than Carole. Kind of negates the narrative that Beth doesn't get along with anyone. Ramona in part one of the reunion backed down and admitted that she and Beth are somewhat alike. Beth and Sonja are fine, and Sonja even thanked Beth for talking to her about her drinking. We know that Lu and Beth are fine as Beth was part of the intervention team that got Lu back into rehab. Beth was very nice to Tins when she talked about her frozen eggs, even saying that she understood that she viewed them as what might be. Dorinda was in tears over Beth apologizing for calling her a drunk, to the point of needing to hug her. Heck, Beth was even nice to Bitch Carol when she commented that at least Carole finished the marathon when Carole said she thought she finished last. 

Then there is Carole. She humiliated Tinsley in an effort to once again be Fight Right Carole where Beth is concerned. No regard at all for Tins' feelings. The Dream Team deserted her. Ramona told her that she doesn't see how she looks. Dorinda deserted her by dissolving into tears and hugging Bethenny. Sonja doesn't care about Carole one way or the other. Or I imagine Lu, after she would have seen Carole's glee at her downfall. 

I would imagine all the other women at this point are yelling "Boo ya, Bitch" to Carole too. And "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out." I know I am. 

I agree, but I'd also like to add that Carole and her suit of armor were placed too close to the fireplace and accidentally fell in face forward lying there for at least an hour, cause she's got this Salvador Dali melting going on in the face

I think the fact that Dorinda makes the comparison in the first place is important, because the point is to diminish the significance of Sonja's divorce, and to underscore that Dorinda has been through worse. It sets up a death vs. divorce competition that didn't even exist. Sonja consistently reacts to this saga by saying she felt she and Dorinda were both in pain, and she didn't know why Ramona couldn't help her to explain that to everyone. Sonja is being defensive when she says her divorce is like a death. Dorinda was unbelievably aggressive toward her -- and then this death vs. divorce thing seems to come out of nowhere, and the other women take Dorinda's side. So Sonja feels ganged up on, and thrown under the bus by Ramona who won't help with the cheating accusation. The way I see it, Sonja's never trying to make a big statement about death vs. divorce. She's just trying to say she's in pain (however nutty and stuck in the past that may be).

My guess is that Bethenny is just in pain, and not worried about death vs divorce competitions.

Weeping Baby Jesus, this was just so exhausting in the first segment to view. 

I am going to watch a second time so that I don't miss anything, because I have personal issues and enjoy whiskey and self-flagellation via Bravo. 

Bethenny was exactly who she has been paid to be. And, don't hate me for this, but I LOVE her margarita and white cosmo, though I have learned that a 2L bottle of club soda, good tequila, lots of limes and a splash of margarita mix is far more cost effective. Also, my local LCBO (Ontario liquor store) no longer carries her products (FYI the cucumber vodka was DISGUSTING), BUT I can buy all the Skinny Girl products I enjoy in Buffalo.

Ramona seems to have had some poorly placed botox shots. We see the one OG Ramona eye, beside a "normal" eye. I am not going to focus on that, it is what it is and she looks amazing.

Dorinda...meh. Tears, don't care. I hope she stops drinking.

Sonja: PICTURES OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN (apartment).

What struck me more than anything else, was Tinsley's reaction to Carole's declaration that they aren't "great friends". That was clearly hurtful, and 100% news to her after being declared part of the "dream team". 

Tinsley is about as offensive as my secretly favourite cat, Peanut Butterball. He can snuggle up with my dogs, my 2 other cats, and when any one of them decides they have a problem or wants to play-fight he is truly befuddled and hurt. He is a simple, loving, and lovely creature. I assign the same kind of feeling to Tinsley. She seems like a great gal to have as a friend and Carole's denial of their close relationship was truly hurtful and downright shitty, but 100% in line with what Carole is.

More than any single other thing on this episode, what struck me as most memorable was when Andy told Carole she told him he was "full of shit" and the shark grin he had. He said it twice (I think). He looked the same way I would have looked calling a shady bitch out. 

I liked it. I should probably rewatch and screencap that interaction, because it was the end of Bitter Betty.

*I actually loved the sequined sheer socks with heels. I have been wearing fancy ankle socks for about 10 years, so it's nice to see them on someone who weighs 100lbs less than me who is "fashionable". I liked Carole's gown, except for the unfortunate placement of sequin nipples.

I am not a professional, but I work in a PS clinic. And, yes, it would appear that she has had some poorly placed shots that either didn't take, or not enough, or too much on one side. Either way, one eye was her classic Ramona and the other was less so. Which leads me to believe that she had visited her favourite choice of injection a couple days prior to the reunion. We all have seen that she leaves her work to the last minute. 

[phoenix780]

I want them to film this again and do it right. You can take someone down (um, create a narrative about bullying) without so much shrieking, as a viewer I deserve a better effort from all involved. I'm betting this performance is why Carole isn't on The View, she couldn't even keep it together for a reality TV reunion, arguing like this just isn't her game. 

Bethenny's biggest regret reveal was pretty well played. 

I hope it's a nice long break between seasons, with a cast shuffle. I'm addicted to this crap, but I need some variation. This was just...draining. And, I still am not sure what exactly started the feud (nor do I really care, at this point). 

[jaync]

Changing a Hilton's shitty diaper is a career?

Frankel claimed she tried to set RSG up with Carole during the speed dating, so as to take credit for him asking Carole out...but she really didn't make the offer until after Carole and RSG had already gone out. Booyah still B lyin', bitch.

Yes to this!! 

I have this theory that RHONY has fundamentally become a game of "Who can take Queen B down?"  It started with Jill, who is known to have planned the whole thing, and she got burned. That set the precedent. Kelly thought she was smarter and cooler and saner and "up here," and that she could just waltz in and take Bethenny down, and it backfired in a big way. Then Bethenny left for a few seasons, and the first thing that happened when she got back is Luann openly said "let's take Bethenny down," and Bethenny went right back at her. Then Luann kind of took herself down with Tom. Next season, Ramona decides that she's going to have a go...and it backfires. I think that one lasted two season. Losing track at this point. This season, maybe Carole got tired of being the sidekick, and her brand of "I'm not really reality TV trash, but a cool intellectual journalist princess doing a zany experiment for research" was starting to wear thin after six years. So she got a dream team together and decided to have a go herself...

Just a theory, but if it's even a little bit right, then, yes, Bethenny has had beef with everyone, but that could be because someone is always trying to usurp the Queen.

Theories aside, I do think Bethenny knows her character on the show, and, flattering or not, she plays it very consistently.

 

The funny thing is, I believe all the current HWives (which of course doesn't include Carole since she is gonzo) actually like Beth. They have had their issues with her, but Beth has been there for every one of them. One of my fav scenes will always be when Lu and Beth were fighting, and Lu said she didn't care what Beth thought of her. Beth then asked if she cared that she had lipstick (I think it was) on her face as she tried to rub it off, and Lu answered that yes, she did care about that. And that was the end of the argument. Priceless! 

I love that Beth can laugh at herself, and frequently does. Carole OTOH is the most pretentious, self absorbed, mean Howife that I have seen on any franchise that I watch. And that includes Vicki G, which is saying a lot. I have to admit though that after seeing the video of Carole and Cassandra Grey, I can see why they are friends. And deserve each other.

Beth is exhausting.

I agree, I think Beth is horrible, and the whole resume shit and "Carole doesn't have a career" shit is unforgiveable.

However, Carole is always talking about how she's such a loyal friend, ride or die, and yet, she completely contradicted that this week.  She sold out Tinsley in front of the entire RHONY audience by saying "We're not close friends".  Ouch!  When Tinsley was under a completely different impression?

I've always felt that Carole selling herself seemed really pretentious and false.  Being a loyal friend is not a brand.  It's not something you market. You either are, or you aren't, and it's obvious to the people that matter.  She tells everyone that she's this great friend and I guess on RHONY if she pretends to befriend or be nice to anyone, in fact she's just 'working'/collecting a paycheque and everyone should be smart/savvy enough to see through that?  Yet, she was close with Bethenny, but never close with Tinsley?  Errr....

Ew, that picture of Adam!  WHY!!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

A really weird part was Carole listing her regret and very clearly in plain English saying "I regret that I couldn't make up with Bethenny and make that friendship work."  Cue Bethenny crying and saying "I didn't hear a regret."  Okay..... She's such a smartass but she's so stupid at it
