Wow! Old Lu really showed everyone her COUNTESS-ness at Dorinda's!  Think they ALL act like that in someone's home? Where's my crown you pissant!

Even old school, original recipe Countess Luann never acted so abhorrently. This was a new low and this is coming from a Lu apologist.

Bethenny continues to make other people’s tragedies all about her.  Good God!  That ‘therapy’ session was all kinds of pathetic.  B can be amusing when she is acting as the Greek Chorus.  She is very witty and quick with the snark.  But most of her storylines are just egomaniacal, self-aggrandizement.  

The thing about B is she can and has been very perceptive and accurate when it comes to other people's motivations, feelings, thoughts. That is why she was known as the Greek Chorus during her first stint. However, when it comes to herself, she truly is blind! She can't get past her own ego.

Luann should be worried about losing her cabaret show audience, given the behavior and entitled attitude she's been displaying on the show.

I'm guessing that probably 98% of her cabaret show audience are RHNY fans.  Just from the posts here, it seems she may be losing a lot of her fan base, which could result in people not wanting to see her show, which will mean lower ticket sales.  

Luann is turning into a diva, with no talent or past to back it up.  That ladder to success goes both ways, and it's usually a faster descent than ascent.

At first I was disheartened to see/hear that B and her aren't cool anymore but now after this fiasco I am looking forward to B getting up in dat ass and telling the Countess off!

I usually start reading these boards before I can watch so I was prepared for snobby Lu’s bad behavior but what I just witnessed was beyond words. What a piece of utter dumpster fire trash is Luann. If I had been Dorinda I would have told her that her shit would be on the front stoop and she can go check her horrible classless dry drunk ass into a hotel. I have never seen anything like this from the richest of the rich or poorest of the poor. Please PTB get her off this show. 

Lu was beyond rude. I cant even believe how she behaved.  I've been honest I go back and forth with Lu, this the worst I've seen her, unbelievable.

Dorinda is not my favorite but I'm so sick of all these women treating her home like a shit. Ramona has destroyed her wall before  and last night just assumed her luggage would bring themselves upstairs.  Wtf? 

Tinsley was very defensive on the boat. I think these horrible women thought they were being helpful, they weren't but Tinsley relationship with Scott is weird. Tinsley is just odd to me. What brand is she trying to build? She said she's to reestablish herself in NYC society what does all that mean?

I think the boring discussion about the horrors of the fish room was producer monkey driven. Don’t forget how they drive some of this bs. And these ho’s make it easy cause they’re always half drunk at any given time. 

I like the fish room, too. And let’s not forget: Beth, whom Dorinda assigned Hannah’s coveted bedroom, ended up waking up in the fish room one morning. So how undesirable is it really?

So, Bethenny and Dennis were engaged, but she met this other guy before Dennis died and THEN things heated up AFTER Dennis died.  Just how fucking engaged were they?  She's incredible.  

Allow me to esplain...She was engaged enough, and interested in someone else enough, to hire a bereavement counselor to come to her home and film her blathering on and on about how: "Dennis was her person but the new guy she wants to be sure isn't a rebound guy but she wasnt totally 100% sure about Dennis but still even if they didn't marry or be romantic he was still her person so is it alright to date someone else because she's wearing a ring that she's told people came from Dennis and may or may not be an engagement ring so is it alright to wear that ring and still date someone else that she met when she was sort of kind of but not really engaged to Dennis?"

I hope that clears this up for you!

ETA: LuMann is an insufferable cuntess, there's just no other way to say it. She is the most heinously awful person, and the only time she shows a modicum of remorse is when she's been demoted to "Friend" status on this mess of a show. Part of her probation should have been no TV or 'acting', so she'd have to, yanno, deal with the regular folks during her 'recovery'. What a piece of sanctimonious shit she is. I wonder if her kids cringe watching her behavior. The Count probably counts his lucky stars he's done with her, I know I would if I were him.

OH, and why is no one mentioning that Bethenny, even though she wasn't going to be there on the first night, demanded a special room, Hannah's room?  And got it.  I see no difference from that and Lu demanding a special room. 

I'm not saying what Bethenny did was the most appropriate, but she handled it totally differently than LuAnn did. 

For one, she gave a valid reason - she had stayed in that room on previous trips and felt most comfortable there. Dorinda surmised that Bethenny has a hard time with travel because she's a control freak, so she thought it was reasonable to give her some measure of comfort/control. 

Second, Bethenny didn't INSULT any of the other rooms while stating a preference for Hannah's. Lu acted like being put in the "fish room" meant she was literally going to sleeping among dead sealife. 

Also, I kind of appreciate a low-key room request; when we typically have all the ladies shrieking and running through the halls to try and nab the "best" room.

[sasha206]

Lu was an ass but the bigger ass to me last night was Beth.  For her to even suggest that his OD could've had something to do with their relationship disgusted me.  If she truly thinks he overmedicated b/c of his great love lost over her, she should keep that therapy session off camera.  And to even mention his wife while this session is being televised was gross.  No one can top her levels of narcissism.

Doubt it. Luann is a cheapskate. When Bethenny was the poorest woman on the show Luann made her pay for everything all the time now Bethenny is the richest Luann expects her to pay more stuff like a 6 mil house. The messy lawsuit with her children perfectly explains what a vile sponger Luann is.

If Scott really loved Tinsley, he would give her a ring and ask to marry her and live in Chicago because of his business.  She would say yes.  Apparently, he doesn’t love her that much.  No excuses.  The End.

I agree, she is a cheapskate and is also too stupid to even hide it.

Remember Jill's skating party with the gift bags?  She asked Luann to donate her song coming out and Luann said "I can't give it away"

[Dirtybubble]

So if I'm understanding this correctly B was going to be a day late and the best bedroom would be free for at least one night.  So why not let Lu stay there for one night at least?  Was that suggestion brought up?

Lu knows she's got Dorinda wrapped around her finger right now.  I think that's why she was so demanding in the first place.  Another poster (I can't remember if it was this board or not) pointed out that Dorinda is kinda on the whipping post right now so Lu thinks she can get away with it.  You wont now or ever see her trying this b/s with Bethanny. 

Oh and did I hear correctly is Lu getting a little tired of Barbara as well (please say yes, please say yes).  It was brief but I think I heard her say she was tired of Baps in her business--just work on your own relationship with Dorinda.

I think after her recent past she is now out of her social circle of the wealthy set who used to invite her to parties and events.  She is probably trying to get back in so she can meet a rich man to marry.  If you check out who Topper is you will see what I mean.  She doesn't have the wealth to get her into that social circle and she needs the connections.   I bet people dropped her like a hot potato after she got arrested and showed her seedy side.

God bless Dorinda she wanted ALL the girls to stay with her and was trying her best to be accommodating.  it would just seem odd having one girl leave at night then come back and if a simple room would make someone with control issues ok and she didn’t make a big scene and ass out of herself by requesting the room (not demanding the room and giving an out if she was being to much pressure) why not let her have it? Luann was acting like a 5 year old stomping her feet holding her breath and DEMANDING the better room. I would have said take what was offered or get a hotel room you cheapskate mega bitch and walked away

Ramona's in great shape, but I don't think she does all the working out she professes to do.

[tranquilidade]

I think Dorinda pulled off an amazing power play.  She really fixed Lu Anne's wagon whether she planned to or not.  She dug a hole and Lu Anne drove right into it.  By agreeing to give Bethenny the nice room of her choice, Lu Anne showed how she really doesn't care about anyone but herself.  Lu Anne went up against Bethenny, recklessly and foolishly, and she will pay the price.  For however disgusting Lu Anne is with her expression of entitlement, Bethenny feels entitled as well, just for different reasons (and she expresses it less openly).     Bethenny now turns on Lu Anne, calls her out and there is a shift of power. 

I don't know why Dorinda or anyone would want anything at all to do with that selfish Lu Anne who really believes the world revolves around her.   She can't be a friend to anyone and it doesn't surprise me that her relationships fail because no one can sustain a relationship with a person like that.

I wish Dorinda would have asked Lu if she would feel more at home if there were bars on the windows and door instead of a few fish on the walls.

Oh Dorinda really did fix Lu. She might have not known it but Lu looks like an ass and Dorinda comes off like a saint lol.  

I doubt Dorinda knew Lu would act like a child because I dont ever remember Lu throwing a fit about what room she gets. She might not alway be thrilled but she rolls with it. Yes she thought she should get the better room after she got married but she wasn't this obnoxious.  Ramona usually holds that honor. Lu threw a fit because she's still pissed at Dorinda and I think she can see that Dorinda is desperate to make things good between them again. So Lu feels she's gonna make her pay. Lol, how is that working Lu.

Bethenny's therapist looks like Paul Mitchell the shampoo guy, right?  Do we think Bethenny is  making Dennis's untimely death all about her?  She mentioned that she was trying to end things with Dennis but not only accepted the big diamond ring but did not give it back when she wanted out of the relalationship, hmmm.

I guess my take is different.  I think they see their friend hanging onto someone who doesn't want the same things she does.  If Tins wants a family  it does her no good to be tied down to someone who just sends her photos of an engagement ring and isn't making any further effort.

That said, if the most important thing to Tins is marriage and kids with Scott, forget about your "brand" being tied to NYC.  Be in NYC for the filming and be in Chicago for the rest of the time.  Or hey, how about a RH franchise in Chicago?  

[jalady]

I am an unapologetic Countess lover, and have been since Day 1, and even I was yelling "stop it LuAnn; that's NOT a good look!!"  So no apologies from me for her behavior last night.

But I do take issue with the idea that these women can't give Tinsley marital advice because they're all divorced (and/or currently unmarried).  I say this as a never married person who has given awesome relationship advice to friends and family over the years.  I have the uncanny ability to analyze/dissect others' relationships, while my own personal love life has been pretty much a lifelong disaster 🙂.  What do they say?  Those who can do; those who can't teach - LOL!! 

[nenya]

I finally watched the episode after reading the thread. I know it's been discussed, but I need to get it out of my system too.

Bethenny, you are mourning. You have grief. I'm not trying to take away from that at all. But watch what you say, because his kids are going to hear about this. Let them mourn their father privately. Your grief is not more than theirs, or anyone else's. His wife/ex-wife, for better or worse, built a life with him. That can never be replaced. His kids lost their father. No matter what, a parent cannot be replaced (even with your love/hate relationship with your parents, you still ran to your father when he was on his deathbed). The only person who really can replace him is you. You already are moving on to a new man, your loss and your grief will change in time in a way theirs never will. So please. Be considerate to them. Continue to deal with your grief, but keep the very personal stories off camera.

LuAnn. What is wrong with you? Now I get it, I can get scared at night (because I'm still a big baby who can get scared in the dark), and the fish room would kind of freak me out. But I would never say that to my host! I would just bring a friggin eye mask, and leave a nightlight on, and just deal with it. You are still getting your own room with a comfortable bed, a host that really works hard for all her guests, and staying in a lovely home. How about just thanking her for her hospitality, and if this doesn't work out in the future, stay at a hotel!

[langford peel]

I guess if Tinsley wants to be a bitter hosebag having meaningless sex with the same gaggle of upper east side beta males than she should listen to what these witches have to say.

I would just tell her to go her own way and be open to love. Even if the guy is not in the social register.

I do think she needs to drop the coupon guy. He seems like a user.

I still think Bethenny requesting what they have all decided is the “best” room or she will have to stay in the hotel is ridiculous. I can see her not wanting to share but there were other rooms she wouldn’t have to do that. She is literally staying one night! I am not the biggest fan of Monique on Potomac but I loved when all the women were arguing about the best rooms and she easily took the one no one wanted saying something to the effect of I live in luxury I don’t need to argue about having it for a few nights, made most of the HWs throughout the franchises look like the basic assholes that they are!

I still don't believe that LuAnne is sober. She claimed to go to rehab really to get out of jail time, then had a relapse to get out of trouble with the Count & kids financial.  She is probably pissy at Dorinda's dinner because she can't drink in front of anyone.  Did she get that much money from the sale of the Hamptons to purchase the Sag Harbor, Upstate NY & Manhattan place ?  Or is she some big time cabaret staah

[WhoaWhoKnew]

I never thought I'd see someone act like a bigger asshole over a room than Ramona, but somehow Luann made it happen.

[rehoboth]

In regards to Bethenny and Dennis - I can't make heads nor tails out of what she is saying on camera but then again, their relationship may be so complicated that she cannot talk about everything that would make things clear.

He may have been her soulmate.  I recall her saying that he came back into her life after a good number of years with little or no contact and it was like they had never been apart.  He might have been her best friend and I don't think that Bethenny has a lot of really good friends.  With this were they/weren't they engaged narrative - maybe she didn't want to marry him but was struggling to keep him in her life.

Was he addicted to drugs (for whatever reason)?  His assistant had Narcan.  If you know that someone is using drugs, it would not be responsible to bring them into the life of your young child.  Maybe she turned him down for this reason and he told her to hold onto the ring while he sorted out his problems.  My guess is that her full dealings with Dennis cannot be shown on camera.

I don't blame her for wearing the ring which is more of a keepsake (now) than engagement ring.  She looks at the ring, she thinks of him, she thinks of all the good times. I'm ok with that.

I didn't think anything could make me luv Dorinda more, but when I saw the fish room...  Dayem, gurl!  The only thing that could possibly be better would be a Law & Order room with Mariska and Ice T's heads on the wall!

I felt for Tinsley this episode.  She's not quite the airhead I had previously mistaken her for.  Between the horrible incident in Palm Beach & the X-Husband's remarriage to a successful and fertile shoe designer, Tinsley's got a lot of reason to dither.  Her explanation about rebuilding her brand was very sensible. And, I mean, c'mon—Scott has entrusted her with his Bentley. To me, that's a bigger commitment than an engagement ring. 

Wait!  LuAnn is in Port Ewan!  Wow.  I'm in Rhinebeck, right across the river.  Port Ewan is Sojourner Truth's hometown.

How does Scott being bi mean that there's no future for him and Tinsley?  A person can be bi and still be committed to one person.  I think the problem between them is that Tinsley is telling everyone else what she wants, but not telling Scott because she's afraid that he'll walk if she asks for more of a commitment. 

A day later and I'm still aghast at Luann's behavior, as well as that of Ramona and Sonja. I think that Luann would always have been annoyed about being in the fish room (I think that Luann's sense of entitlement about what Dorinda "owes" her to get her back as a friend is so great that the only thing that would have satisfied her would have been Dorinda giving up her own room to Luann), but I think that Ramona and Sonja's shrill cackling (which I actually had to mute) escalated things by making Luann feel like she was the butt of a joke that had been told before she got there. That doesn't excuse Luann's tantrum, but I think that Ramonja contributed to its intensity.

Luann is on her way to a relapse with her attitude.  She takes herself way too seriously, she can't laugh at herself.

If I were her sponsor and she cried to me about getting the "fish room."  I would say, "did you tell Dorinda you didn't want that room?"  The answer would be no, but Luann just assumed...."No Luann, you can't assume anything.  You didn't ask for what you wanted, so either sleep in the fish room, or stay in a hotel."
