I meant to post this the other night, but things got busy so I decided to wait until the trip was over to see what I could find out.
The RHONY took a really short trip to Stratton, Vermont for a bit of fun in the snow. Hypothetically at least. We all know that never happens. I do know that everyone was there. I know the majority of the ladies went by car but I suspect Bethenny grabbed a one hour helicopter flight rather than spend at least four hours in a car with the other women. She probably drug Carole along with her. The ladies going by car left on Sunday, spent Monday and Tuesday at the resort and returned home today. I believe Bethenny flew in early Monday, possibly due to her custody schedule with Bryn. If there still is one.
Carole is one of the people who is literally losing her mind over Trump’s election. I’m not talking kind of freaked out like most of us, but in that smaller postulation that is screaming that the sky is falling before the appropriate time for that sentiment is upon us. To the point where I think she spent most of her time in Stratton either glued to her phone spreading hysteria on social media, or drinking lots of free SkinnyGirl. She been to the NYC marches with Dorinda and is back to being tight with her again in this hour of our despair. Carole did stop tweeting about politics long enough to throw us a bone with the photo of Dorinda out shopping with he for more UGGs.
As I mentioned before at some point, Sonja is back on the bottle and reviving old battles. She’s still pissy with Dorinda and the others for not inviting her to Dorinda’s 2015 Christmas event in the Berkshires. Even though she WAS invited in 2016 and allegedly got wasted and in cohoots with Ramona passed out after trashing the place. Her partner in crime managed to Ramonagize her way back in to Dorinda’s good graces for the most part.
Sonja is for the most part filming with Tinsley. They both drink a lot and like going out on the prowl. Which is why Sonja often keeps the ladies waiting on her to show to film.
I am not entirely sure of the source, but I am hearing that even though Sonja’s former sponsorship with Peter is over since the restaurant was not allowed in Manhattan and he’s pretty much abandoned the product, there is still residual friction about that situation between Bethenny and Sonja. Because apparently, they have to argue about something.
Luann is just Luann. She’s a happy newly wed. She’s not getting involved in any negativity she doesn’t absolutely have to.
Oh and of course Bethenny is a snow boarder, not a skier. Get the back when I skied the hate of boarders was a new and glorious thing. Conditions were great for skiing with both days getting fresh powder.
P.S. Berkley is rioting and setting crap on fire and getting violent over some conservative idiot who was supposed to speak.
And Trump is trying to start a war with Australia tonight. Perhaps it’s not too soon for Carole to be screaming about impending doom after all.
Don’t worry about a war with Oz TT, our Prime Minister is a weak as – Trump’s pissed most of the country off, but not him; apparently unlike other world leaders he does not feel it is his place to comment.
Our so called news agencies are fanning the flames of Trump hysteria. Our media is VERY liberal so it’s hard to gage what really happened. But they make it sound like we will be blowing y’all up soon. Right after we blow up Mexico, and kill all the muslims in the country.
It’s total insanity over here. Logic, reason and truth is hard to find so I’m not sure HOW freaked out we should be, but we’re all at various levels of freakedoutedness.
Oh, TT, the media are NOT all liberal. Have you ever watched Faux (Fox) News? About as right wing as one can get. I believe if the media really were all liberal, the Mango Madman would never have been elected.
The Mango Madman…I like it. Haven’t heard that one before!
I’ll never understand the whole”media is liberal” thing. If the facts being presented don’t like up with conservative ideology, how is that being “liberal”?
It’s called media bias. All televised news in the US is VERY biased. Almost all is extremely liberal, except for FOX which is extremely conservative. The only news caster I find to be unbiased is Anderson Cooper.Perhaps you are too young to remember when the news was always presented in a factual manner.
These ladies are beautiful and adventorous but drunken fools aren’t glamorous, but I can’t turn away.
Brave Tamara….this political climate may get uglier and uglier. If one picks a side, the opposition is sending nukes. My goodness…if this president doesn’t become what the people fear, we are setting the stage for the next president to be a true dictator with the abuse of executive orders for more than 20 years (started with Bush, continued with Obama, now 4 years with Trump).
Free speech isn’t the only constitutional right in jeopardy. Have you watched that show Hunted? The hunters played back the conversation from a cell phone call. The hunters had access to banking, credit, rental car tracking, postal mail information, computers deleted accounts and files.
I can think of better things to be protesting about at an airport, like flight delays, baggage fees, long lines, missed flights due to technical difficulties, non-refundable tickets…I know there is more….
I love the show HUNTED. I find it exciting, and something different.
Entertainment actually. 🙂
I am looking forward to this season. Having read the background of Tinsley, I’m interested to see she will do most of her filming with, besides Sonja. For some reason, I picture Tinsley more on the Bethenney & Carole team.
Sonja is getting to be as tiresome as Kim Richards. Enough already. Same with Dorinda.
Poor Sonja. An alcoholic with a resentment is a terrible thing. An alcoholic with justifiable anger over a resentment is even worse. She will cling to this slight forever…..(Speaking from personal experience as recovering drunk ; ) )
People are ridiculous these days. I remember when I was in my early to mid twenties and my boyfriend at the time called me a bleeding heart liberal..I was proud of it then. Right now I am distancing myself from anything remotely resembling a liberal. Rioting and screaming about everything is not the way to change things. I live in Minnesota and have watched them run my city right into the ground and am seriously considering moving now. Luckily my job has offices all over the country so I don’t have much to lose by leaving.
No matter who you voted for Trump IS president and it pains me to think of out enemies laughing at how it appears our country is falling apart. I had hoped this craziness would die down, but it’s gotten worse. The country voted for change and all the celebrities and their opinions meant nothing to them. I admire Mathew McCounahy, can’t spell it , and Morgan Freeman for saying what they did. They might not like Trump but like myself they Love their country. I liked Obama’s personality but not his politics. These heinous stories of people talking about assassination really disturb me and make me ashamed of how my Country is being portrayed across the world. Get over it, he won , he has only been there a couple of weeks. Liberals like to think of themselves as tolerant, especially Hollywood. My son is an actor in LA and he can’t talk politic’s as it could cost him jobs. That’s about as un-American as it gets.
Tolerate my intolerance isn’t working is it honey?? Oh too bad
#NEVERmyPOTUS
Wow. Now I know this site is disgusting. We are in danger of Trump RUINING this country and you make light of it?!
Wow good thing you aren’t an immigrant/brown or black skinned/GLBT and you are a woman I think and I am disgusted.
Wow just wow.
Hahahhahahaha
Deep breaths
Hahahahahhahha
This is what annoys me.
The left, liberals, Dems, preach tolerance. They chastise the right, conservatives, Republicans for intolerance constantly.
It goes BOTH ways.
I didn’t vote for Trump. But when someone supports him, and states a view that differs from mine, I don’t get angry and call their work “disgusting” etc.
Walk the talk.
Are you for real? This is a reality tv gossip site. Did you lose your way on the internets?
Sadly, the only thing that sounds remotely interesting about the upcoming RHONY season is Drunk Sonja and Luann’s bliss.
The rest of these women and their ridiculous recycled, overplayed, stupid, drama doesn’t sound worth watching at all. How many times have we watched Ramona back peddle? Bethenny whine, talk about how brilliant she is, and make crude, judgmental comments. Carole makes me sleepy — the woman is lifeless. Dorinda? Shrug. Just not that interesting.
Good luck maintaining ratings with this cast, Bravo. Geez. Time for new people, new ideas, new life.
I agree with you on tolerance Melissa. If it’s always- My way or the highway, nothing will ever get done. Thank God we have the right to disagree in our country. What we should NOT do is personally attack those who disagree.
To the artist formerly, Read the entire post and you will get the political talk. We did not bring it up out of the blue.
Well stated.
I’m currently trying to disregard my personal feelings of contempt for his views on women and minorities — and objectively evaluate his ideas and statements.
It’s very difficult to get even past the annoying vocal inflections and arrogant tone. And if it’s TV — the hair. I blank out, completely distracted. But I am trying!
I will never support Trump. I’ll never vote for him. But I think it is best to focus on damage control and the future — i.e., mid term elections and 2020.
I unfollowed Carole on twitter long before the election. She is off the rails with her vitriol over Trump. Worse than Andy even!!
I will absolutely not be watching any of the housewives shows if they inject politics into the story lines. We watch these shows to escape from that bullshit, not partake in it. To that point, after a full day of news analysis we now know Trump clamped down hard on Australia because they were trying to pawn off 1200+ refugees on the U.S. that they themselves refused to allow enter Australia. God knows I love my Obama, but why the hell was he making these kind of deals? Some of the information that’s flowing out about our previous administration’s dealings in the world is surprising and disappointing. Of course I’d be inclined to forgive all of it if Obama had manned up after the election and trucked his ass back to Chicago to be a figure head and problem solver for our issues on the south side, which by the way is a community he claimed to love and care about. Apparently he loved the wealthy educator types in Hyde Park, but doesn’t care so much for the gang ridden types a little bit north and west. Now, if in the near future he schleps his ass back and commits to helping out, I’ll be his number one fan again. He could make a huge difference. Barack, please don’t let me down.
Honestly, I remember folks freaking out when Obama was elected and now folks are freaking out over Trump. I just take it all in. As far as I’m concerned the agenda is the same on both sides: divide and conquer us all for their bigger, shared intentions for this nation and for all of us. Keep all of us bickering with each other while both sides fuck us over. We should try to get our news from a variety of sources, including other countries. Or pay practically no attention at all like I do.
Right on…..politicians are politicians….divide and conquer us with b.s. while the machine keeps moving….thank you!
Now that 5 months have gone by I’m wondering if you still think you can compare the “freak out” of when Obama was elected (no doubt because he was black. Oh, horror of horrors. HAHA) and the “freak out” when Bozo the Clown was elected.
Thank God, at least Obama has a brain & diplomacy. Doubtful poor bozo made it past the 5th grade. I mean before he had to start paying other kids to write his papers for him.
I would like to see all of these US companies who are giving money to the ACLU use it to help solve the inner cities problems. We have to start from birth on. We have to change the conversation of hopelessness and despair. That is why Obama was such a disappointment to me. I hear way too many young AAs, who have busted their ass to get their degrees, can’t even get an interview, let alone a job. Then their credit is ruined because they cannot pay their student loans. Also the high school kids who can’t get a job because of the dearth of businesses in the inner city. So they have no idea of what a real job entails and how that experience is so valuable. They have transport, clothing and language issues that are easily solved by the right people. We have been throwing money at this problem on the Federal level for 60 years and nothing has changed. Corporate America i.e. Google, Intel, etc. can go a long way to solving this problem. Open academies/apprentice schools at high school level to teach these kids to write code. Beef up the elementary school curriculums to teach them. Provide transport like the tech companies do in San Francisco. Make them not want to have babies as babies and throw their futures away. I understand the immigrants problems, but just like the stewards on the airplane tell you to put your oxygen mask on first because you cannot help your kids if you don’t help yourself first. Americans first.
Navymommy you are one thousand percent right! Also, Trump will be a good pres. He’s got a different style. So what. Its America and We have the 1st amend. We can all voice our opinions, agreement or disgust. But all should respect each other and be cool. As Luann said, don’t be so uncool. Ha! As to RHNY, dorinda looks adoreable. I enjoy these ladies ( except I plug my nose to Bethany) and look forward to the show.
Is there an ETA on when Trump is going to start being a good president? Will it be before our war with Mexico but after our war with Iran? Of maybe after Australia stops giving visas to US citizens? I’m looking forward to the part where he is a good president, I’d just feel better if I had a timeline.
Thanks in advance.
lol He’s only been in office less than a month, give him a little time. Even so, he’s kept more campaign promises than anyone else in my memory.
Already there’s 20% more jobs in January than this time last year, not bad.
Yes, he’s shaking things up, but that’s not a bad thing to do to with the status quo in D.C. It’s nice to see an executive in charge instead of politicians.
imo, The rest of the world is reacting to our media’s hysteria. No one has ever seen the feverish pitch that they’ve whipped everything in to.
I agree with all of that. Which is why I WANTED to vote for him as a #NeverHillary person.
I ended up voting for her because He honestly doesn’t have the temperament for the office. I’m good with the wall. I want one with Canada as well, and the extreme vetting for visa… and bringing manufacturing back, and draining the swamp, and lots of things he wants to do.
I really DON’T want him nominating lots of SCOTUS judges. I’d prefer a more liberal SCOTUS.
I just think he is a hothead and going to get us in multiple wars with much more danger to the homeland than any war in a long time.
I need Bannon out of his ear and Ryan in it.
I am trying to be hopeful, but the media really is riling up the country in a way that should be illegal.
First about the temperament for office. He’s learning, just like the other Presidents have done as well. The first few weeks in office have always been a big transition for them.
For Clinton it was the pervasive leaks that had to be plugged. Bush, perception problems. Obama was the inexperience issues.
Trump is having those and different problems. Not only is he having to dial back his personal issues, he’s having to deal with a bunch of spoiled brats who are having temper tantrums because Hillary didn’t get elected as they had expected. BUT he is learning. Just yesterday there was an article about them having to slow things down to correct some issues that have been created. His twitter has slowed to a crawl
Looks like the media may have to learn their role by fiscal problems. When people are pissed at them, they stop subscriptions. The Times has already had to give up 8 floors of their office. They may be jealous of Fox News, but Fox’s audience has at least tripled since the first of the year.
Is it because people are pissed at the narrow bias? Is it the false message they are trying to bring forward? Who knows. But people are not as dumb as D.C. and the media think! They need to ponder that!!!
Here here, TT!! The idea that someone who campaigned the way that bozo did would EVER be a good potus is Laughable!
My personal opinion is still that Bethanny is batshit crazy and there is something more to this Jason Hoppy thing. He kept his mouth shut all through the divorce.
Why is he now supposedly stalking Bethenny?
OMG, I hope when the left coast wakes up and sees the political portion of this post that they are as nice as the comments we’ve already seen. 🙂
Everyone I’ve talked to is already sick of the mass hysteria from media, Hollywood and the friggin’ paid protesters. imo, just the fact they are paid anything mutes their voice. It’s no longer “free” speech in essence – it’s more like “this message is brought to you by the one who is signing my paychecks and paying for the buses.” Bravo will be walking a razor-thin line if they allow politics in to these shows as well. Just sayin’…
I love those boots Dorinda is holding up in the picture!
As far as traveling individually on these trips. That’s part of the fun of these trips – to see what trouble they get in to en route. When they start taking these separate cars or helicopters on the actual trip, that’s that much less opportunity we get to see them together in actual unstaged photo ops (as long as their cell phones are out of range). Also, if there’s a tiff – we don’t get to see that either.
Not to mention the fact that Bethenney will take EVERY opportunity to stay away from ALL these women whenever she can.
I guess we have to have a “Kim” in every franchise. In NY it’s Sonja. I guess she didn’t like getting kicked to the curb last year for not having a storyline, so this year she’s back to pickling her liver.
Can’t wait to see how LuAnn is this season. Hopefully she’ll stay in a good zone and won’t allow the other women to try and trash her happiness. I guess if any cast member is happy that puts a target on their back.
Cheers to the RHONY cast. Hope they have a lot of fun filming and try to keep the scripted cell phone BS down and put more focus on fabulous opulent lifestyles (without bankrupting anyone).
Wow! I just re-read what I wrote this morning. I guess you can tell I didn’t get any sleep last night. :/
Dear Lord, woman! Never reread. Especially if there was wine involved. 🙂
hehehe
Since I’m a bit confused by some of the comments, I’m just gonna say simply, I’m surprised Luann is returning. Wonder if/how much we will see Tom? (Hopefully only smooching Luann) LOL
I am not sleeping, I am digesting.
Just reading this post now. And, no, I don’t believe it was too early for Carole to start freaking out about the circus clown in the white house.
