Andy and others can speculate all they want. They aren't Lu. And Lu herself has indicated she knows she's not a great singer. If someone can point me to a quote where Lu herself talks about how she thinks she's so talented at singing, then okay. (And even then, I can't blame Barbara for pointing out the obvious).

If Lu thought that her singing was the point of the show, then I doubt she would have other performers there. Of course, she's not going to say publicly, "I'm tone deaf." That would look like she thinks she can scam the audience.  But I maintain that she understands the interest in the cabaret act is in her life as spectacle, not that she's deluded to think she's some great singing. 

Those managers who are promoting, kissing and hugging her crack me up.  When Lu is finished and can’t sell anymore seats, let’s see how much they will love her and hug her and kiss her ass.  Phony baloneys.  They’ll drop her like a hot potato and won’t want to know her anymore.  It’s all about money.

Sadly that’s true. I wonder what Lu will do for dosh when her cabaret and RHONY dry up. Somehow I don’t see her chances of landing a rich man as very viable. I highly doubt that her children will want to support her and have probably safeguarded their money from her fingers.

Question why is no one talking about how odd the interaction between Dorinda and John has been this entire season? Each time they filmed together it really came across has they hadn’t seen each other in a series of weeks/months with the odd conversations and weird hugging pulling away. Dorinda why aren’t you being forthcoming with that to Tinsley? Let all the girls make a huge deal over that. 

That’s exactly what I said upthread.  Dorinda is a real cutie.  She comments on everyone’s business and thinks she knows everything, but she won’t reveal anything personal about herself and how damn miserable she is. Plus, shame on her for using John in more ways tha one.  She gives him a little sex, then he’s not good enough to stay over.  She throw him out the door with a bag full of dirty clothes to clean.  Nice!

Well, hell. I'm sorry to admit this, but I don't believe a thing coming out of B's mouth, nor do I feel even the slightest twinge of sympathy. You ladies are better women than I; I think she's trash. I am not a monster! I find it implausible that she has her *very special breakdowns* at precisely the time the cameras are scheduled. Y'all, she had to lie in a bed with a camera crew surrounding her, and pull in her housekeeper and cry about something that she would have already told her about. I want to be respectful toward those who love her. But it is just A LOT. And Dennis pulling you from the earth to be with him...I mean, I look away from the tv, and I cover my face, and I whisper a little "nooooo." No exaggeration, I cannot physically watch someone make such narcissistic and humiliating comments. 

So on to that bitter Dorinda. I feel pretty certain that she's just desperate to out Tinsley as a not-so-rich. The Scott thing is just a way to tell us, as an aside, that Tins can't afford that shit without actually saying it. Yes?

They all are out there for years trying to get men, but the only one to get a man quickly is Bethenny, one after another.  There’s hardly a time when she doesn’t have a boyfriend.  She just has charisma and men just take to her.  Sonja can stand there naked and they will walk away.  Bethenny has confidence, a smart mouth, looks and that certain something that men like.  I don’t think Ramona can carry on a decent conversation.  Tinsley is too eager, Luann just wants a roll in the hay.

The pinata was a nut cracker, just like the one Dorinda gave or found for Bethenny last Christmas, Dorinda didn't put two and two together that Bethenny and all were taking whacks at it. 

At what point do these women stop trying to prove how young and sexual they are, the strippers, sex toys, Sonja with her ass hanging out of her dress, etc...I am no prude, (trust me) but it just comes off as pathetic and cringe worthy.

Male strippers are so meh, none of the women looked that in to it, it's nothing that interests me (went to one revue years ago). Dorinda saying she had never seen a male stripper does not seem believable.

Where did those bedazzeled knit hats come from?  I kinda liked it.

I never cared for male strippers.  Underneath, they are probably thinking “these pathetic women” and laughing their asses off while making bucks.  And Romona rubbing her hands up and down that strippers chest.  Go rub Mario’s chest.  She’s probably doing it as we speak.

Dear - I can’t copy the frightening screen caps of Bethenny smiling without any hint of happiness, but they sure came to mind when I just read that dogs have a facial muscle that softens their expressions (and makes human hearts melt — and wolves lack this muscle!

It is a bit ridiculous that the "Real Housewives" does not have anyone who is married or even someone who is in a serious committed relationship.

Except perhaps for Dorinda who has a committed relationship to laundry.

He can do a lot better. In earlier seasons he seemed very thirsty and he was a notable jock sniffer of celebrities before he hooked up with her. Here is an article about him and PDiddy.

I think the real reason none of these women can find a man is they are fundamentally looking for the wrong man.  The want a man with a specific net worth and social standing, and that pool is very small.  They are not willing to consider a man with a lower net worth who are kind and decent.   They want to continue this flashy lifestyle and that might not be in the cards if they want to have a partner.

I was having a nostalgic moment, remembering the early days when the ho wives wrote Bravo blogs after each episode and viewers could comment. I haven’t been there in ages, so I went for a quick visit. Maybe its me, but I’d rather read you guys.  We should write the ho wife’s blogs for them.

[divsc]

Even if Scott is paying Tinsley's bills and buying her gifts, I still don't see what the big deal is. I mean damn, I will send him my wish list too! If she's got that kind of gig going and he lives in a different state and she hardly even sees him, all the power to her! I do think she seemed truly sad at her events when he wasn't there. I mean at the circus she was drunk and sobbing that she was absolutely miserable and that there were kids around and things she doesn't have in her life and that she wished Scott had been there on a day that she wanted to share with someone special besides her mother, and that didn't feel staged or fake to me. She must have some feelings for the guy. I feel like together or not together, if he wants to send her gifts, by all means, send away! And where do I find one of those? 😉

I kid, I kid. But it just seems like a stupid thing for anyone else to worry about. I don't see why it matters or how it is hurting anyone. And I do think they are just jealous and nosy. 

B does seem to always find a new man quickly. When she's not being terrible or nasty, she has a pretty cool personality - extremely smart, witty, clever, funny. I like the side of her that's active and fun - her surfing, roller blading, dancing cool self. But man she is intense and self-serving and goes into hysterics a lot. It's weird - for someone so bad ass and independent in so many ways, she is always in a relationship. She's an interesting person - so many different sides of her that come out at different times.

It is absolutely crazy they are going to spend three episodes talking about the last 9 episodes. OMG. Three hours of Bethanny telling everyone what happened and why and how and what people feel and how they should have acted, for three hours. Three hours of Bethanny interrupting everyone trying to talk to speak for them since they can't explain or know as good as her.

My personal feeling is the show would be better without Bethanny. No one has had a chance to step up, but I bet if the producers sat with the ladies they could come up with some really great story lines that don't revolve around what Bethanny thinks.

They're paying Bethenny a million, she barely improved the ratings, and seasons 5 and 6 were pretty darn enjoyable. Season 4 wasn't enjoyable, but it was memorable and the ratings were still pretty good.

There you have it.  Example:  Dorinda has John.  Not famous or rich enough, but someone to talk to, have dinner, go to events, have sex her and there, etc., UNTIL she finds someone else like Richard.  She keeps him at arms length and still has someone when she’s lonely.  Nice set up, and he goes along with it.

The other thing is that they won't date outside their race and they'll only date foreigners if it's the right kind of foreign (white guys from western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc.). I don't think they'd ever give someone like Mohamed Hadid or Guraish Aldjufrie (Kyle Richards' first husband) the time of day in their heyday. I'm not sure they'd give Mohamed or Guraish the time of day now even knowing how much money those guys have.

I've always wondered if part of the reason behind Ramona's visceral revulsion of John is because he's Armenian-American and he reminds her too much of her childhood. Her dad is Ukrainian and her mom is Hungarian.

I always forget that Mario was married before Ramona.

Yes, Bryn has a loving father. 

The part that B might not like is that if something were to happen to her her estate would be Bryn’s and under someone else’s control until she reaches a certain age.  Now whether that would be Jason or someone else Jason would possibly be ‘benefiting’ from her money.  

Her hate/vitriol will be her undoing.  She follows the rule ‘You are first AFTER ME.’  As I’m not in the loop that may even include Bryn.  

ETA:  For those that know these things ... if B has total custody of Bryn and something happens to her, can she appoint Bryn’s official guardian (meaning other than Jason as father)?  

I know people that want to try to control their children’s lives from the grave.

Yep. I ran across their wedding announcement a couple of years ago looking for something else. There was something about Mario and Ramona that made me think that their families might be Crypto-Jews. Their surnames for sure, but I feel like there were more specifics that I'm blanking on.

This might be true about the kids.  

For some reason I think the housekeepers/nannies raised them to have a heart and if Lu does need help they will assist her on a livable budget.  Don’t know why. 

They've been in on the secret of letting the public think they know her life.  Who knows what it is privately.  Again I don’t know

Interesting that they wrote ‘The bridegroom’s previous marriage ended in divorce.’  

Makes me wonder if Mario cheated on his then wife with Ramona.

And, yes, that would alter my thinking a bit on what Ramona was going through.  Old fashioned I guess. 

Still think the two will get back together for some reason with Sonja as their third. ☺️

I wouldn't mind so much if Andy was an entirely different person or treated Bethenny entirely differently.  I very strongly remember (was it the last reunion) where I (personal opinion) felt that Andy was so biased towards Bethenny.  For example, he'd let her scream at people, and then whenever they'd want to reply, Andy would say "Time for a break."  And then Bethenny and Andy would cackle together. It made me sick.

It might not have been the last reunion, but the one before.  She was wearing all white and was very arrogant!!!!

I WAS feeling sorry for John earlier this season.  But then I watched an older episode (season 10?) and the way John acted so was so disgusting.  I forget what he was doing, screaming at Bethenny and Ramona and just in general being very crude?  But all of my sympathy kind of washed away.  He's an adult man, he's not being held captive.  If Dorinda treats him badly he needs to walk away.

This is the reunion I mean

I think Beth likes her men legally married but separated.   That keeps a certain distance between her and her men.  I think she is afraid of commitment and never truly wants to get married again.  She wants a man in her life,  but wants the ability to bail whenever she chooses.

Bethenny might always have a boyfriend, but there hasn't been one guy she's dated who hasn't been problematic or wrestled with demons. A rage machine, an accused rapist, a man addicted to opiods, etc.  Water seeks it's own level. The men she gets are damaged goods in one way or another. Anybody who just wanted someone they could flaunt on social media can find a boyfriend. The good guys, the ones with a back bone and self-respect, are leery of dating women with a public persona like Bethenny's. She's got a documented history of publicly raking men - starting with her father - over the coals.  They don't want to become fodder for her next social media rant. She'll never date a quality man. She will only every get men who are as damaged as she is. That's not confidence she displays, that's bravado. She's also not charismatic. Charisma requires charm, and she has none. She's just domineering and abrasive. She either attracts weak men like Dennis and Jason or men looking to use her for exposure.

Say what you want about Luann, but you don't see her tripping over herself to find a man. That's another reason why the other women have issues with her. Dorinda, Ramona, Bethenny and Sonja don't know who they are without a man to validate them. All of these women are consumed with themselves, it just manifests differently with Luann.

Tinsley is eager because her mother makes her feel worthless because she's not married and doesn't have kids. That's a fate worse than death to her mom. If Tinsley could break free of that and find supportive girlfriends, she'd be perfectly content with her life as it is. She's surrounded by women who think being single is a disease.

I was having a nostalgic moment, remembering the early days when the ho wives wrote Bravo blogs after each episode and viewers could comment. I haven’t been there in ages, so I went for a quick visit. Maybe its me, but I’d rather read you guys.  We should write the ho wife’s blogs for them.

Only if they pay us!

There you have it.  Example:  Dorinda has John.  Not famous or rich enough, but someone to talk to, have dinner, go to events, have sex her and there, etc., UNTIL she finds someone else like Richard.  She keeps him at arms length and still has someone when she’s lonely.  Nice set up, and he goes along with it.

Well Of course! Thank you!! I always wondered why she kept him & Hannah apart. No use getting her daughter - even as an older teen - used to somebody who’s basically a temp.  

Dor, you user. 

With all the ... connections ... John has, Do had best tone down the open contempt she shows about him. Just sayin’.  The fury of a man scorned can match a womsn’s, anyway. JMHO.

I'm actually surprised how nasty Dorinda was about Tinsley telling her she doesn't want to fight about Scott as she isn't with him any longer.  Why is Dorinda being like that?  Actually I just realized it's probably  because Dorinda feels she is above Tinsley in the Housewife Hierarchy - so she can be a total bitch to her.

Dorinda’s only storyline is shitting on the other HW’s.  She has nothing going on....even her new apartment is sad.
