S11.E11: Upstate Girls

[OnceSane]

Quote

Newly single Tinsley faces serious questions about having a baby; Sonja and Barbara head upstate to see Luann's new house, hoping to warn her about the rumblings among the other ladies; Ramona, Bethenny and Dorinda arrive at Luann's house.

Airs May 15, 2019.

It's 9:00 PM!!!!

[WhoaWhoKnew]

LOVE this 5 minute advertisement for Dorinda's new neighborhood!

[chewycandy]

Bambi ❤️

[pieinmyeye]

I am really liking Dorinda this season. She's very pleasant when she's not drinking to excess.

[nexxie]

Love Lu’s new house - very cool!

[Bronzedog]

Jesus.  Sonja brings Luann a bottle of wine.  And now we know how easy it was for her to give away the dog that she adopted but didn’t keep because it wasn’t like her previous dog.  Her reaction to Tinsley’s dog having cancer is appalling.

[Mindthinkr]

There is only so much sorry that I can feel for Tinsley. 

Edited to add: With the exception of her dog’s diagnosis.

I don't think Tinsley really wants kids or a baby.

I think she likes the fantasy of having one but not the reality.

If she was serious she would have had her eggs saved when she was in her 20's and NOT coerced into saving them at 38 by her mom.

I agree. I hope she admits that to herself and tells Dale to STFU.

[Steph J]

I agree with Ramona/Bethenny that Tinsley doesn't exactly have a lot of time to make her decision re: babies and relationships, but I also think Tinsley really, really needs to be single for a while and figure out who she is as a person and just get it together a bit (a lot).  It's unfortunate that she wasn't able to do that in her 20s or 30s, but she really does just need to be on her own for a while and learn that her happiness isn't dependent on whoever she ends up with.

[Mindthinkr]

Ramona saying that she hasn’t seen Mario naked for three years makes me think that she is taking truth (accountability) lessons from Lu.  

After all, he is going to Miami with the girls...umm...since when are husbands invited let alone exes.

Why is there a stove in Luann's guest bedroom?  Does she rent it out?  

[Bronzedog]

You’re not getting the 911, Luann.  You’re getting the 411.  The 911 will get you an ambulance.

The lie is further revealed.

The reunion Luann was absent at was filmed mid July

The lawsuit from the kids occurred at that time

Luann performed at Hospital 849 on October 31st

Barbara - alleged POA - has never been to that house.

[pieinmyeye]

I wonder if Lu's house was previously used as some kind of motel, hotel, Holiday Inn. That would explain the stove in the room.

[KungFuBunny]

Luann should make a statement necklace out of tons of zip ties like the ones she wore in the back seat of the police car.

They'd sell like hot cakes.

Howard Johnson’s were round (I loved them)! 

[Mindthinkr]

The driver taking Drunk Dorinda, Bethenny and Tinsley to Lu’s was trying so hard not to react or crack a smile. He deserves a bonus for pulling it off.

It's prob the official flop house for Carribbean pirates and wayward Italians.

[Dance4Life]

I cannot believe I am saying this....but, here it goes!

But, Tins is 43!!!

Listen to B!  Forget the guy if you just really want a baby!

B...should know!  Her baby daddy has been pure hell.

B was better off going to the sperm bank. 

But, Tins doesn’t want a kid....like that.

She wants to trap a wealthy man! 

[nexxie]

It might seem silly that Lu is so bent out of shape that B didn’t stay for her performance but, as a fellow narcissist, she probably realizes that B left because she can’t stand for someone else to be in the spotlight. Two peas in a pod - this show has the most narcissists imo.

[chewycandy]

“I didn’t come here to make friends. I came to win the cabaret drinking game!”

[KungFuBunny]

Dorinda:

I'm having an out of body experience and I'm not drinking and I don't know why not!

Bwahahahah

I'm sorry, you think the woman wandering around wearing a cowboy hat indoors for no discernible reason can't stand for anyone else to be the center of attention?

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

Write this day down, l agree with Bethenny that Luann can fuck off. Going home st 11 means she will see Brynn when she wakes up. The day after Halloween wake up with a child that age is an excitement of all day sugar high  hangover. 

Ugh  but then that flashback when Luann accused her of dating a married man. Luann was right, he was married And Bethenny was married. 

I flove this show. The Sutton Place real estate porn, triple crime French cheeses, the PP (tm Jill Z) non jitney shuttle bus interior, etc it’s why I am here.

Go have a baby Tins! And ladies BE SUPPORTIVE. 

Luanns house ? Meh. All the vegetation looked overgrown and dead leaves everywhere. Every bedroom was bed in a bag.

Ah...because she’s not used to being sober at that time of day? 

[sasha206]

Love the view of Lu'a house.  Hate the actual round house.  

Bethenny, after spending most of the season talking about everything she's done for Lu, actually says she doesn't want credit for all she's done for Lu?  Didn't she say she should be treating her like Jesus Christ?  

I think Barb and Sonja want to do each other.

[Bronzedog]

A lot of people don’t like being out late especially if they have full plates.  Apparently Bethenny is one of them.  Get over it, Luann. 

[Keywestclubkid]

Tinsley drinking is cracking me up 

[BodhiGurl]

I love how committed Tins is to the "Drink every time Lu mentions cabaret" LMAO

Lu is an a$$. I haven't said this yet this week. So I says it now 😉 So what if BF wants to watch her kid sleep - or be able to get up early the next day. And trying to compare her "momming" to BF's mommy duties... Bish - any of us who have been in for the long haul with RHONY saw her leave her kids constantly in the care of Rosie... so. Bish needs to shush.

[Dance4Life]

I am sorry...but, Lu’s new house is....suspect.

I mean.....she has millions to buy houses ANYWHERE but New York City!

Has never owned a NYC home....not even while married to Count  Chocula. 

They leased.

How come???

I don’t believe that is her house.  It is too decorated.  It looks like a TV show set.

It reminds me of the set on the Golden Girls.   

They are eating in the kitchen like the Golden Girls, too!  

[chewycandy]

I love Luann’s view and I get why she would want to live there, but it must be a bit lonely too. And judging from the preview, the entertainment in Kingston is, well...

Aston is so cute. Wasn’t he Noel’s gift in season one? 

Sonja brushing Marley and then her own hair. I can’t. 

Not too much Ramona this ep and it was good. 

[Keywestclubkid]

Why was there a stove in the guest room again? Did she explain the reasoning for that?

[ghoulina]

Yay, Sonja didn't have to wear a diaper for this trip upstate! 

Maybe my geography is terrible, but I didn't really understand Dorinda's comments about Lu's place being isolated. Isn't her place in the Berkshires pretty isolated?

I gotta say, the view is about the only thing I like about that house. I'm just not feeling it. 

I'm really ready for the takedown of LuAnn. She is insufferable. Just so obtuse. You can explain a million times that you need to relieve your babysitter and that you have to get up with your child early in the morning. She won't get it. She refuses. 

I am HERE for Tinsley and her firm adherence to the drinking game. She is getting snarkier by the minute and I just love it. 

Sonja has brought it too, but she needs to lay off Tinsley. She's not one to be sick of someone's issues. She never stops talking about HER ex and her days as a Morgan. Also, it's rich of her to pooh pooh Tinsley's desire to have a kid when SHE already has one. 

I really loved Dorinda scoping out her new neighborhood. She seems very happy there. 

[JD5166]

I think they are insinuating it without saying it...she wants a nice quiet place where she can get drunk and not have the photogs in the bushes. 

By the way, the preview? Was fantastic.....I've always liked lu but this season she is unbearable.

To cook the cocaine.

It is a party house!

Where wealthy NYC men takes their mistresses for a fun weekend in luxury.

(it reminds me of the upstate version party house in the movie Jade.)

Tinsley said that she's programmed that way.  That's going to be a tough issue for her to come to terms with.  Her Mom needs to quit harping on her about getting married and having kids.  I feel sorry for Tinsley for having to deal with that her whole life.

I would love to live there, and it wouldn’t drive me to drink either, Tinsley, but I’m a loner and would love the isolation.

[Dance4Life]

Hahahahahahahahaahah!  

It is time for Lu to move to Jersey.  That place on the boardwalk  with all the casinos.  

Cabaret Star....yea! 

🎤➕🍆➕🍷= Lu

[breezy424]

Good episode.

Don't like the house.  The views are great.  The stove threw me off at first.  Random stove?  Oh, it's a 'suite' of sorts.  Oookay.

Lu needs an ego check STAT.

Beth - take off the hat.  You didn't wear it in the car.  Why are you wearing it in the house and at the table?

Geez So, you brushed your hair with the same brush you brushed your dog with?   Ewww.  But, you did move up from a diaper on the Gitney to a mobile van office.

Ro - you don't buy 'two' of different size candles.  You buy the three (that also goes to LVP  who gave Denise two vases of different sizes as a wedding gift).  That's why the display has three.  If you're going to do two, they should be the same size.

Can you make moonshine on a stovetop? 🥴🥃

[Gem 10]

Tins said she would be a good mom because she takes good care of her dogs.  Oh no, my dear.  It is not the same as having a child.  It’s not the same as filling a food bowl, then taking it out to pee.
