S11.E09: Tears of a Clown

[Emmeline]

I am really sick and tired of Sonja talking her negative BS about Tinsley.  She did not “use” Scott and I do not believe she is a “user”.  Tinsley has plenty of her own money.  She has family money, divorce settlement, as well as what she earned herself during her boom years.  From what I read, she has more money than any of them.  Sonja is just jealous of Tinsley’s youth and wealth.

I wish Barbara would explain why she loves those ugly horns.

Hasn’t Ramona dated every eligible bachelor + or - 10 years of her age by now?

Saline solution. Is Dale having a cocktail or an IV?

[Mindthinkr]

Sounded like Dorinda already had a few before walking into the circus. She Shwung.

Bethenny's custody fight is a hell of her own making. If she's so overwhelmed that she strokes out, guess who gets custody of Bryn.

I thought Bethenny already sold the Skinnygirl brand to the Seagrams company. 

She only sold the alcohol portion to Jim Beam/Suntory Liquor. She still owns every other part of SkinnyGirl Blenders, Luggage, Jeans, Shapewear, Popcorn, Delimeat, and Artificial Sweeteners LLC. 

Luann and Jill are abysmal tennis players. I played in high. I was atrocious. I was better than these two. Tinsley was nationally ranked in her teens and you can still tell. She's much better than these dopes.

Tinsley was the guest ringmaster of the Big Apple Circus in the end of October.

In things that surprised me, Dale gave good advice and Ramona picked out good clothes.

In Keeping Up With the Kontinuity Errors, The Hustle started doing test screenings in March 2019 not October when the rest of this shit was filmed.

That was only Skinnygirl liquor products. In the deal Bethenny maintained the rights to use the Skinnygirl name to market other products, like her jeans.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Tins, listen to your mother.

Is this something new where they give TH shots to non HW and non Friend Of?

Dale has had multiple TH shots

It's bad enough that Dale is back but why is she given THs?    

I don't remember Bravo doing that we other "guests" on any of the RH shows.

Dale makes my eyes hurt.  Maybe it's the lipstick and tight skin.

[Straycat80]

I hope they don’t give that baby their drinks by accident. 

Should call it Drunken Circus, slow down with the drinks Tins. And then there’s Sonja molesting the Circus performers.

[SuprSuprElevated]

Is it me, or did Sawnya steal Tins' thunder a bit?  Tinsley took it very well.  Better than I would have I think.

Also, leave it to Ramona to make sure and demonstrate how little anyone else's shit means to her.  Such a rodent.

“Sonja’s made for the circus.” True dat!

Might I also suggest some skin care. A facial perhaps? Please tho...no botox etc.  

I was thinking that about the skincare too. She already has Botox or fillers or something going on with her face. 

I can't afford a professional facial right now, but I have this rough patch of skin that I've been exfoliating with a skin brush, actually using a decent cleanser, and some moisturizer, when I remember, like twice a week and my skin is glowing. There's no reason her skin should look so bad.

I have to confess, I really can’t stand the circus.

I am rarely so in tune with Ramona, but her response to Barbara's Led Zeppelin reference was mine too.

WHAT!  mock indignation 

Get the Led out is classic!

we would completely fight over the radio on a road trip

Sawnya!!! Her holding the baby and her forward rolls. I’m loving it. 

I just want to hug Tinz 😞

Exactly. You don’t need a good professional, you just need to keep it clean, moisturized and hope for the best. I also think that the makeup they wear for the tv doesn’t do their skin any favors. 

[Thumper]

Whose baby was that at the circus?

Tins did well -- thought it would be more than that, though.

Not a fan of the circus.  Circus = clowns = creepy to me.

But, if I could have wine at the circus like they did, it might help!

This is the most boring episode and I love this franchise. But this episode was so bad. 

I love Tins and think she's beautiful but she looks like Joan Crawford's character in whatever happened to Baby Jane or maybe it was Bette Davis' character.  The tears don't help. 

[SuprSuprElevated]

I really like Tinsley, but I can't stand this Tinsley.  Jeezus, grow the eff up.

[Thumper]

Yay for Dale!  Surprised -- good mom.

[tranquilidade]

Wow, Tinsley just had a breakthrough. Superficial things don't make you happy....glittery tights and all.  It will be ok ....eventually.

[movingtargetgal]

Tinsley, you need to cut that toxic bitch of a mother out of your life.

[Mindthinkr]

She has looks, education and money. Poor Tins doesn’t have self esteem and bases her self worth on a man not worth her time. 

[ShawnaLanne]

God Tinsley's mom is evil. Yeah dump Scott, but also, Tins needs to dump her toxic mother.

[scoobie1]

Tinsley needs a really good therapist.Stat!

She looked around, saw children and "regular people", and bounced.  No handsome, wealthy men for her to fawn over, so she took a powder.  Despicable.

[SailorGirl]

awww. . . Tinsley's actually really breaking my heart. Its never easy coming to terms with your life not being what you want it to be no matter how hard you work to make it so, and she's doing it on a national tv show. 

Dale is absolutely part of the problem. One minute she's saying all the right things to Tinsley about moving on, then she makes the comment about the acrobats being Scott and Tinsley . . . then back to supportive mom. . . Dale drills into her head her entire life that a wealthy man is what she's supposed to have, then sends conflicting, "just move on" messages. NOT FUCKING HELPFUL DALE.

It is almost impossible for me to pay attention to a preview when they include a seafood tower.

I love a seafood tower.

[Straycat80]

Poor Tins. I can’t believe I’m going to say this but Dale is right. Out of all these househo’s I wish Tins would find a nice guy to be happy with.

Plus a lot of drinks and deep emotions/memories of her dad. Dale was a little harsh with her stop its but that’s a southern mama for you and I think they have a lot of love for each other. 

[ghoulina]

Tinsley is a mess. I don't think it's just the situation with Scott. She said it about a dozen different ways - she's depressed. She needs help. What she doesn't need is her mother brushing off her feelings and insisting that she "stop it."

Dorinda is about 5 seconds from running away to join the circus. 

Ramona and Barbara shopping was interesting. I noticed they both called each other "rough around the edges."

LOVED when Lu relayed that her doc said she didn't look good when she drinks and the editors cut to her mug shot. That thing will never get old!

Especially because we know that she expects them to go down on her super early in the relationship, but won't put out until much later.

Tinsley is a mess who needs a real therapist not a TV therapist like Dr. Amador or Dr. Jeff.

[BodhiGurl]

I think Ramona had a date with George Glass*

Kinda strange.

Sort of like she’s been living her life - a dolly designed to make mommy happy.

I was going to add that she had clearly been overserved.  I can relate.  Back when I drank a little, I may have cried ugly too.

Same!

Her saying that things that should be making her happy just aren’t is a clear sign she’s depressed.

Big Apple Circus only uses rescued dogs who when they aren't in the circus live on a farm with their trainer. Thankfully the Barnum and Bailey Circus is gone. I never took my kids and I hated going when I was a kid. We went once and that was it.

[Suckeredin]

Did anyone else find it odd that when Lu and Sonia were dressed as "sexy" nurses (which in itself is odd...and sad), they were wearing the most unsexy, actual nurses clogs?  These women wear spike heels to the supermarket but when it comes times to a play dress up they go the orthopedic route....

Cry me a river Beth.  If it's all too much quit the show.  If it's all too much why did you just sign a deal to produce tv shows?

Sonja taking the baby was so cute albeit it a little scary.

The first half of the episode was really slow.

From the other side of the pool:  I can't stand Dale.  I think she's an awful mother.
