I’m just going to zip though these last two episodes and see if there is anything interesting to report. If not, maybe I’ll just talk about how I am starting to wonder if one of the houses in my neighborhood is a meth house.
On the first episode, Fredrik is on an African safari somewhere and Bethenny can’t sit still so she has convinced his assistant Jordan to go with her to look at potential flips. With Fredrik out-of-town, should be Jordan be super busy doing everything by himself? They stop in Tribeca near where T. Swift lives according to Bethenny. I kind of love this weird apartment with a bed hidden under the floor. I also like the moving bookshelves. Bethenny hates it. It’s $2.75 million dollars. She thinks it would take another million to fix it. I think she just wanted to run into Taylor Swift. I could have found out all of this information online. You should only go out to see places that have potential online.
Be got a brief glimpse of Fredick in Zambia. Then just as quickly he was back. He went to six different countries with Derek and group of friends. I guess they were having their last child free vacation before the twins come. Fredrik is shopping for lights with one of his assistants and Bethenny is not there. This is all storyliine. Fredrik pretends he just sold a property. Then the calls his assistant who tells him he can’t write up the deal sheet because he is busy doing stuff for Bethenny. Why do we need to script the show for these two? Just putting them both in the same room together would be enough. I am starting to doubt they are even flipping houses at all. Writing up a deal sheet takes 15 minutes. Even if he was looking for flips for Bethenny, it could wait fifteen minutes.
We get to meet MJ, the surrogate over video chat. She seems very young!
Next it is time for a Skinnygirl promo under the guise of her assistant’s birthday. Fredrik and Jordan are invited. The driver is invited as well. He’s literally Bethenny’s best friend. His NDA must be volumes long. Fredrik and Bethenny have a housewives fight and she storms out of her own commercial. Then they very quickly make up.
Fredrik’s acting skills are amazing. We might need to watch his pornos for the acting ability alone. I bet Mark from the UK knows where to find them.
This is a really good episode despite all the scripted stuff. Bethenny takes Fredrik for dim sum. I have considered making some 3D friends just so I had people to do dim sum and fondue with. Then I remember I really don’t like 3D people and I can barely get along with most of you so I will probably never have dim sum. Fredrik hasn’t had it either. Fredrik is fascinated with Bethenny’s boobs. Bethenny says she has the best boobs ever! She kind of does. If I could blink and have her boobs I would. My bra size is 48 Long. I didn’t expect there to be so many balls involved in dim sum. Big balls. This may be all the dim sum I need.
The four wieners on a bench seen was hysterical.
Next we are off to The Hamptons. Fredrik is nervous about investing there because Bethenny knows more about the market than he does.
The second episode has two minutes clipped off the front. Somehow Dennis is in The Hamptons. Bethenny says she loves Dennis and she is comfortable with him and apparently they are back together. I am not sure if they still are together or not.
Bethenny has the gorgeous custom Bronco for The Hamptons. She is not a very good driver. I would love to have an old Bronco and live on the beach. The first place they look at is an old farmhouse. It has good bones but would need MAJOR renovations. Then it would be to die for. Right now it has zero curb appeal. If I don’t get to see the finished result of this house, I’m going to be pissed. I can tell already that they want it.
Bethenny has a party at her spectacular place in The Hamptons that has its own bar. Dennis is staying there with her and she invited two of her assistants and Jordan. So it’s essentially three couples. Dennis says he’d like to see a dance contest and he will give the winner ten grand. Dennis officially skeeves me out just a touch. The contest is the most hysterical bad white people dances I’ve ever seen. Bethenny does a head stand with a split in a dress. She was wearing a nude g-string if you’re interested. ROFLMAO. Bethenny just said, “Some people may say I shake it like a white girl, but, you know… I’m white.” Too funny. Somehow, Fredrik won.
The farmhouse owner, refused to even counter their low offer, so they are back to square one. I have a feeling this seller may come back after a week or two.
Back in NYC, Bethenny shows Dennis the apartment at 10 Madison like she is trying to sell it on him. Bethenny finds out that Fred didn’t include a lot of things in the $300K budget.
Next week: The two fight about budget. This was way better than the first couple of episodes.
Why are all my comments waiting moderation? Did I do something wrong?
Usually, when you are in this part it is because I am waiting for you to notice and ask me that question so I can direct you to the commenting rules. Once you let me know you have read them, I’ll set you free! I don’t remember what you did to go to purgatory, so just refresh your memory on the rules please and thank you.
I have reread and I am mindful of all the rules. Maybe #5 is the rule I may have broken but I am not sure. I was not at the top of my class so my sentence structure and punctuation is not the best. I am sorry.
Whatevever your crime, I’m pretty sure it had nothing to do with sentence structure and punctuation. You may have just gotten caught in a glitch, the seems to be a few people in limbo land atm. You should be good to go now!
Good recap but I want the dish on the possible meth house!
Mark? Mark? Do you know lol
Such a funny recap! Good job, Tamara! I didn’t bother watching these two episodes, but now I have to. I really like Bethenny and Fredrik together – it’s kind of like watching lightning strikes when they’re really on top of their form. Zap, zap, zap! I’ve never seen Bethenny crack up more than she does with Fredrik, and I’d turn my TV on just to see all of his different expressions. He’s so much happier now that he and Derek have their two gorgeous little ones, and despite all the scripting, I think he’s enjoying the partnership with Bethenny.
I love love love Fredric! If anyone is going to be a great dad it’s him, just love him and his love of life! Bethenny. I’m sorry I can’t. She’s too much of everything obnoxious.
PS- I’ve seen the porn and he hardly looks like there’s much acting involved!
I like the show on my reshow list. If I didn’t catch actual time I’ll watch haphazrdly on the very many repeat marathons.
It’s fascinating but I’ll never hit the record button. Bethennys rapid fire shrieking is awesome in the “Oh my God she’s my mother way” Moms from Long Island and a sniping snarky hurt you first kinda woman. It’s absurd and annoying but I like watching.
I love Frederik…tall…Swede..a bonafide real estate genius yet an adorable doting daddy to his weiner dogs and now his children. He’s like a
Golden Retriever with a side of mastiff.
I agree with you, it is ridiculous to script this show when Bethenny and Fredrik are so funny together on their own. I’m disappointed how much relationship stuff is in it because I really wanted to see them work on the houses together. At the moment, it feels like they just throw a fixture or construction problem in here or there to try and give it credibility.
I swear I saw that farmhouse on another show… one of those house hunter shows that’s probably on HGTV. If it wasn’t the same place, it was just like it.
You may be right. Bethenny did say that a lot of people slap sale signs on their houses out there, just to see what happens.
Feeling sad TT has not had dim sum. I have had dim sum alone. I take the extras home.
TT so glad you gave this show another chance. I really love the two of them together. Hope the seller comes back and sells to them. I’m like you, I would love to see this house refinished. Thank you for all if the recaps you do. They are usually a lot better than the actual shows. You through your two cents into and make them terrific.
Come to NY TT, I will be your dim sum partner 🙂 lol
Can we please dish on the possible meth house? Someone gave me what I thought was a bump in Southern California early ’80 s-30 fourty five days later we were leaving the state. I had not only gotten addicted to meth, but got myself knee-deep with some high level manufacturers. I weighed 96 lbs when we left. Have never seen it before or since but that 45 days would make for a gripping movie. Whew!! Loved that house-the original part was what’s called a salt-box house because of the roof shape. I hope they flip it!! Would still rather see BF with Jeff Lewis-their WWHL they did at the end of last years RHONY season was legend. The 3 of them were great and BF gave Andy so much well-deserved shit.
Nancy, big high five for being clean for so long. WTG Lady.
Am with you on the interest in the meth house! Of course, I was also the person who’d climb up on the closest stool to watch a bar fight. Also ended up living across the street from an apparent drug den in college and got to watch a big ass bust(that was a fun night for me and my roommate because we were a little high at the time and thought they were coming for us!) and down the road from Dorothea Dix mental hospital, where they managed the occasional escape. Think my interest started when I was little and the day my brother was born, my mom had to wait to go the hospital(we lived in a pretty rural area) until the Sheriff and deputies lifted the road block because of a literal gunfight down the road! That’s the stuff that just makes life interesting
I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE TO FIND THEM.
It’s really awkward though, because it’s like, you know, FREDRICK from MDLNY. At first you think it’s a joke and then you’re like OMG THAT’S A PENIS.
Luv luv these two together! I want that Bronco! Their talking heads when she imitates Fredrik’s screeching /screaming!?
I laughed the entire dance off! I can only imagine how bad this white girl would dance for $10,000! Believe you me I’d give it all I got!
My head hurt from the door jam. I don’t care for the low ceilings in those old homes. I’d probably hit my head too. The rest of the property seemed really beautiful though, I hope they do get the house so we can see the end product.
Do spill on the meth house Tamara!
I have a new neighbor. Technically they are not on my street. but I can see their house from my picture window. Vans come and go all day. So maybe they are contractors or something. But I’ve started to notice that no one seems to stay there overnight. Also I just looked out the window tonight before updating and there are lights on in the house, and van is there, but there doesn’t seem to be much furniture. I’ve only ever seen guys in the driveway. Usually one guy comes out and talks to another guy in a van. They hang around awhile, guy goes back in. This happens all day, always with white vans that don’t stay long. It may just be another drug dealer. But the other dealers in the hood actually live in their houses. This house doesn’t seem to be really occupied. However, there was a small party there for the College Football championships.
Sincerly.

Few thoughts, I agree I want more construction and shopping scenes.
Was it this show where Fredrik said Mila was his (seen) and baby Fredrik was Derek? Interesting. Derek is so super hot, omg. Drip, drip, drool.
When Bethenny tells, Fredrik’s budget of $300,000. did not include everything, is this scripted or real? I dont see scripted plots as well as some of you do.
Here’s the thing: my entire family works in property. Have you ever seen the drama of this? I was brought up in it. You don’t need to script it. You don’t need filler scenes. Just put a crew in and you’d have some AMAZING telly. It would be R rated, but amazing.
I’m, also here’s a thing. In business, if I can’t get a hold of someone, the next port of call is their assistant. Again, IJS.
Also: Fredriks assistant? 110% would bang. Like literally ragdoll him. IJS.
I think he needs a ragdolling. He has too much attitude. I will get that out of him.
I will go to Bravo and me and the Andies will have a chat with him. 😍
Been giggling. I’m sure I could find the porn but just don’t feel the need.
Cracking up though with your comments!
Also feel the need to say…. in the Hamptons that’s a tear-down.
It is not a tear down. You are just hyper over sending me the Fredrik porn. I am afraid to open it just yet. BUT I WILL now calm down! loll
Bitch, it’s a tear down. Porn or no porn.
Mark you rock. Intelligent and a absolute hoot.
My family is in construing. One son project manager for a civil engineering Wall Street company, journeyman ironworker with a business degree and last one project engineer for a electrical company whose clients are Google, Apple etc.
No idea what any of these things mean. Apart from construing. 😂
Then I remember I really don’t like 3D people and I can barely get along with most of you so I will probably never have dim sum. Fredrik hasn’t had it either. Fredrik is fascinated with Bethenny’s boobs. Bethenny says she has the best boobs ever! She kind of does. If I could blink and have her boobs I would. My bra size is 48 Long. I didn’t expect there to be so many balls involved in dim sum. Big balls. This may be all the dim sum I need.
Although I have no idea what a 3D person is and don’t agree with you on BF’s boobs, you are absolutely hilarious! Thanks for the laughs……..gawd knows we all need to laugh, often and loud.
3D people are people IN REAL LIFE and not you know, my imaginary Internet friends. lol. I am even WORSE with 3D people if you can believe it!
I was absolutely loving this episode until they got back to the City and she started screaming at Fredrik again.
For the most part I’ve enjoyed the show. It’s gotten better so I’m glad that you stuck with it TT. I loved the house in the Hamptons but I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea lol.
Such a boring show! Bethenny works well in RHONY but NOT on this show and NOT on Shark Tank. She needs the ensemble of the other housewives.
