For the next two episodes of RHONY, we are going to argue about who has to sleep in the “fish room” at Blue Stone Manor. They can’t be serious. I really feel like production is making this into the RHONY version of The RHOBH Great Champagne Coupe Disaster of 2017. We don’t need this ridiculousness.
Tinsley Mortimer
Tinsley Mortimer got Botox for TMJ. Mommy was of course on hand for the cameras. But Tinsley’s big story this week is that she is having a charity doggy fashion show for a rescue shelter. I remember posting about this when it happened. Dorinda’s dog had just died. I feel like someone else’s dog died around this time as well. I can’t find the post about it.
For some reason, they don’t have a dog to walk with The Countess. Well, why the heck did she bother to show up for this then? Were they short on dogs at a rescue event? This makes no sense. Tinsley said there is only one dog up for adoption. This is the stupidest event so far. At least it gives Ramona a chance to redeem herself on the runway.
Ramona Singer
Sonja Morgan’s new apartment is right on Columbus Circle. That is dangerously close to the NBCu offices and Andy Cohen. It’s also very busy and loud. So while out for a walk with Ramona Singer, she shows off her new sound cancelling head phones.But the real topic is the feud between Dorinda Medley and Luann de Lesseps.
Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Frankel is packing to go see her latest boyfriend. But first we are subjected to an on camera grief session. I don’t believe in these. I don’t believe anyone is truly authentic when they are receiving therapy on TV. Bethenny says she was finding it very difficult to extricated herself from the relationship. She feels guilty that tried to end the relationship before he died. She felt trapped. Bethenny doesn’t know what to do now. She feels guilty about going on with her life. This therapist is very “woo hoo.” I don’t know how else to describe him. I am not a fan. I am not a fan of this entire scene.
We Got The Yacht!
Apparently, we are going to have brunch on a yacht with the RHONY. Ramona had some oddball story about how she got the yacht for a friend. I have no idea who in production had to sleep with whom, but here we are.
The topic is Tinsley and Scott. Spoiler alert, they break up right after this scene. There were rumors online about Scott cheating and perhaps even knocking someone up but non of that was verified by anyone. So we shall see. I think her dog dies around the same time. Anyway, back to the episode.
When asked about Scott, Tinsley said he was supposed to come this week but she told him not to. Her mother is there and Dale always tries to sabotage the relationship when she is around. Tinsley is 43 and she has been with Scott for two years. She wants kids and time is running out. It may have run out already.
Are You Getting Married, Or Not, Tinsley?
Tinsley is trying to convince everyone the relationship is great. She didn’t like questions like are they in love? Are they going to get married? She says she wants to be. They have talked about rings. Bethenny wants to know if Scott would bail if she gave him an ultimatum to get married by 2019 or she needs to move on and find a sperm donor. Tinsley doesn’t know. She’s defensive. She claims she has a timeline. At her age two years is too long not to know where she stands. Tinsley feel ganged up on and interrogated. It was the script, Tinsley. Nothing personal.
Blue Stone Manor
Dorinda had to skip brunch on the yacht to decorate the for Halloween. Sonja, Ramona and Tinsley are arriving early. Have we met Dorinda’s sister before? I love Melinda. She comes bearing garden fresh veggies and a willingness to help decorate. That’s a good sister.
I think Ramona is a total bitch for saying that one of the scary dudes looks like Bethenny crying. Then shady production cuts to Bethenny crying in the same pose. Okay, sometimes Ramona is right.
Right away the bedroom drama starts. Ramona tries to call Hannah’s room, the best room in the house. Dorinda says that room is for Bethenny. She asked for it and she did just lose a very close friend. So fine with me. But not with Ramona who thinks it should be first come, first served. She is going to put Lu in the Moroccan room. It’s beautiful too. Tinsley has been assigned the back guest room. Also lovely, and private. But it is upstairs and Tinsley is afraid to sleep up there alone. So she says Tinsley can have the Moroccan room. Ut. Oh. Ramona and Sonja have to double up. So I guess they took the upstairs. That leaves Luann in the fish room. Everyone hates the fish room. There are tons of fish mounted on the wall. Who really cares? These fools get so blind drunk they will have no idea what room they are in.
Dinner at The Wheatleigh Hotel
Okay, all of this nonsense makes sense now. They are going to dinner at a five start hotel. This is one of those hotels you see in Condé Nast Traveler. Someone will be staying there, and I bet it will be Luann de Lesseps.
Dorinda gives a rundown of the schedule for tomorrow. Luann wants a massage. As Dorinda says, it seems Dorinda has mistaken her home for an Inn. One of the things I like about these girls is that they eat food. I am shocked by the sight of The Countess putting food into her mouth tines down in a five-star establishment. Utterly shocked and dismayed.
The Old Luann Returns
Then she finds out she is in the fish room. Sonja and Ramona laugh like hyenas. It’s so bad I have to fast forward. After some back and forth, Tinsley volunteers to sleep there and let her have the Moroccan room (she was supposed to have in the first place). Luann thinks she should have Bethenny’s room. Luann, her sometimes boyfriend just died! But, Luann feels disrespected and storms off. Remember condescending and arrogant Luann from her first season? She’s back. And checking in to the Wheatleigh. I get the feeling she already had a room reserved. But why would she not want to be with the other women at night? I fear I don’t want to know the answer to my question.
Next week on RHONY: Next week, everyone goes buck wild in the Berkshires. Chef Art Smith, one of the best chefs in the country is there. They have no idea. And by the time Art and the Naked Chef serve dinner, they are naked wasted and making out with each other like Ariana Madix and whoever’s lips she can find. They tour an old Morgan property and Sonja Morgan loses her mind.
Best franchise ever!! Great season and they even have dogs in it! Lol !! I am still so upset about how bad RHOBH is this season!
Totally agree
Thanks for great recap TT!
Was Dorinda giving you Erika Jayne vibes in her talking heads? She looked so different from “actual” scenes.
I didnt watch the episode, but sounds like Lu is eating Euro style versus American.
You are seriously arguing about the way a person held a fork on a show you did not watch? Thanks for rushing in to explaining it to me. I’ve never been to Europe or held a fork in my life. Now that you have shown up it all makes perfect sense.
I’m dead.
Ok, I did watch and didn’t notice and I can’t rewatch because I deleted it already, but I’m confused. There’s a way to hold your fork tines down that is not the way Euros do it but is a different way that’s bad manners? How was she holding it?
I love the Berkshires so much and
Dorinda’s house in particular. It has become a much looked forward to event with RHONY. Did they go to The Red Lion Inn for dinner? I believe it’s 5 star it’s very well known in New England. And I think Dorinda worked there at one time. Tinsley is surely a good catch, she’s very sweet and seems lovely. Except for that pesky ARREST, she would make someone a great wife. And I hope we have a Porsha/Kenya type ending for her. I would NOT do grief counseling on camera. Noe. He
Tinsley does appear to be a sweetheart, but her mother is something else. She seems the type to be jealous of her daughter and willing to sabotage her daughter any way she can. That makes me feel for Tinsley.
I feel for Tinsley in regard to her mother too–likely a root of a lot of Tinsley’s insecurity.
I have a mother eerily similar to Tinsley’s. I can tell you this is the root of Tinsley’s insecurities and probably why she seems a bit immature at times. The toxicity that a mother like Dale brings to your life is indescribable, and I feel for her.
I was really surprised to hear Bethanny say Tinsley has body issues, the girl is beautiful, but I suppose with a mother like Dale nothing should surprise me.
Dinner was at Wheatleigh, as the recap says. I’m from the Berkshires, and also just had my second child at the Boston-area hospital where Bethenny has her allergy scare. I wonder if she ever actually hooked them up with new mattresses… Anyone know?
Luanne is such. A. Snob. I can’t believe she had such a disrespectful FIT over the room- a room that Dorinda obviously decorated and loves. And to practically demand a massage? No humility.
Isn’t the fish room the one that Ramona ripped something off the wall and it had to be fixed?
Production had lights left blazing all night and Ramona couldn’t find a way to unplug them. They were attached with duct tape and when she pulled them down, the wallpaper tore off with the tape.
How hard is it to follow a plug to the outlet? Ramona was crass.
Im actually so sick of LuAnn . Forget that she thinks shes still a Countess shes acting like a spoiled Princess. She has snotty replys to everyone and the eye rolling is getting to me. I was never a Lu fan but now shes just a nasty witch. Shes pissed she cant drink and is taking it out on everyone. I dont know why shes so entitled!!!
Two fashion questions. 1) is Dorinda being paid by Adidas and Gucci? I’m used to the housewives wearing designer just not so blatant. 2) where the EFF is Bethany finding all these Holly Hobby dresses?? They are hideous. Anyone know the designer?
I forgot to add that when Luann asked Dorinda about the massage I would have turned around in front of everyone and asked her what time she wanted it for and what was her budget? I’d also let her know I could make the call if she needed me to. Pow.
Gucci. It was given to her by Dennis.
Dennis gave them all to Bethany?
He gave her the gucci dress that she wore on the yacht. She said it’s very sentimental for her. Which of course it would be.
And here I am thinking that it was sentimental to her because she wore it for her second grade school picture in 1977.
I feel mean laughing at this but I can’t help it.
Your comment is a hoot.
I think that dress is gorgeous.
I agree – B’s dress was hideous!!
But the questions that looms large is how could Bethenny be on that yacht with her severe fish allergy while they had sushi on the table? I thought she couldn’t even be in on a 747 with fish.
She has not nearly died yet. After her near death experience she became more vigilant.
The smell of cooked fish is the problem. She does love her shellfish though. Good eatin and few calories.
And TONS of cholesterol.
I love when they go to the Berkshires during Christmas. It’s one of my favorite part of the NY franchise, but those Halloween decorations were like a haunted house. It’s creepy.
I wouldn’t want to sleep in the fish room either, but I would of been gracious like Tinsley and offered to stay in it. Lu is being a diva. I love her, but she seems very angry and bossy this season. I like fun Lu, not snobby Lu.
I also didn’t like the grief scene. It should be kept off the air. Some things should just be private.
I’ll bet LuAnne doesn’t even know she is. The first year of sobriety absolutely sucks.
Can’t wait for Luann to get through the steps. The girl loves her resentments and can’t bear to part with a grudge! Let go and let God girl!
I’m sure it does. I would never judge anyone going through it. I know alcoholics that just can’t stop drinking. They try, but they go back. I think she’s doing great.
They all asked for a specific room or a room change. Bethenny wouldn’t stay in the house unless she got the best room-and hers is a partial stay, Ramona wanted the best room, then Luann’s originally assigned room, Tinsley didn’t want her room, so she took Luann’s originally assigned room. So offering Luann back the room she was origially assigned to was aprospro Luann was bitchy and I think it had as much to do with the hyenas laughing at her-it would make one feel like they are the butt of the joke.
Dorinda’s fish room is hideous and she is a exaggerating when she said the rooms cost a half million dollar each to make over. Dorinda also claims she told her late husband she wanted, “Blue Stone Manor” as a wedding gift. Carole named the place Blue Stone Manor-years after Richard bought the place. The local garden club featured a tour of the place and referred to it as a “cottage”.
The yoga and massages were obviously provided by production. They show all the women indulging next week. I am tired of Dorinda acting like the grand dame. She gets paid to have these hyenas stay with her. I did like her sister. I thought the Halloween decorations were great.
I don’t understand why they are a bedroom short in a nine bedroom house? Does Dorinda rent part of the home out?Is it possible this room drama is all for production sake?
Dorinda’s house is a cottage? Now that’s a beautiful cottage. I agree with everything you said, except for the Halloween decorations; I like cute Halloween decor, not ghoulish, scary. I do love her Christmas decor and wish they went up during that time of the year.
I hate the fish room. It is hideous. Bethenny would’ve had a fit if she showed up and had the room, everyone hates the fish room, except Dorinda. I kinda enjoyed the scene. Maybe Luann played it up for the cameras…”I have to stay in the fucken fish room!”.. It is kinda funny. It’s not that serious. It will be forgotten by the end of the next episode.
Last year, Luann had Sonja stay with her b/c everyone hated Sonja last year. Luann bought her a juicer and a bunch of other stuff. Sonja showed up with her dog, wore whatever clothes that Luann had in her closet and made herself at home. Luann was gracious. Dorinda came for brunch and when Sonja said she was on anti-depressants from her divorce, Dorinda screamed like a banshee b/c Richard diiiiiieeeeeed!!!! and ruined the brunch. They all act horrible at times.
The reality is the fun Lu might be drunk Lou. When you strip away substances, (and her new stage of sobriety – the pissed off phase of not getting to have her drug) you get to the real essence of the person who may have been hidden for decades. Lou is acting like a pretentious asshole. She was like this when she first was on. I never was interested in learning etiquette from her, as it seemed to mean newly-found snobbery than true good manners and class. She screams new money. Even worse, she thinks she’s old European money. No Dorit/Luann. You are just an average middle-classed gal who grew up in ‘merica. Try desperately to be some form of normal.
I agree, I fast forwarded through the grief counseling. I don’t know, but when you are “expressing” grief on a national stage, is it really grief or acting??
The grief counseling was so contrived. Total spin for B to justify why she’s banging someone else right after Dennis died. And why didn’t she show up for the dog charity, even though the event was odd. Sonja is always funny. Lu I think was just prolonging the storyline of the feud with Dorinda. I love Dorinda’s house. Tinsley gave that relationship about a year too long. She does have poor self esteem, the ladies were right. She seems nice and so that’s sad. Hope she gets a great guy and plays it a little smarter this time.
boy luanne w/her sobriety is more entitled and demanding then ever!! she was soo rude about the room and all her demands – yoga, a masseuse, the best room! she is nasty — a dry drunk! not loving barb. tinsley is very nice!! at least ny isn’t talking about puppygate the entire season or something so stupid!
She was just as nasty when she was marrying Tom and she thought everyone should bow down to her and kiss her ass just because she was getting or had just gotten married. She was horrible and apparently it wasn’t because of the booze. Sobriety Can’t Buy You Manners.
That’s hilarious. Sobriety cant buy you manners is right. Or a normal sense of entitlement.
Good point about LuAnn. I bet when she was little and kids would come to play, she’d say, it’s my house, so I get to pick. And then at their house, she’d say, I’m the guest, so I get to pick.
Ha! That’s probably dead on!
Dayum, Lu. Dorinda’s working overtime to “make it nice,” and Lu is hellbent on creating a scene. Obviously she wants an excuse to stay at a hotel. To do what? Drink? Stay away from the other women drinking?
Wish she could’ve taken a season off to focus on her sobriety. When she moved that wine glass on the yacht, she looked miserable. Lots of pressure on her this season and it shows.
Hit the nail on the head. She probably intended on drinking again….
I was thinking she wants to pick up a man for the night. She is always very man-hungry! Bringing that pirate to the group house on one vacation; bringing a guy from the bar up to the wrong room the night she got arrested; allegedly banging a 24-year-old in a restroom at that NY bar they all go to.
I’d rather she pick up some strange than the bottle at this point. 😉
Sobriety cant buy Class. Lu makes me sick. I can’t stand the way she acts. She is the most CLASSLESS of all the Housewives. Her manners are deplorable. If I were hosting these broads they would NOT have a say so regarding the room they would be staying in. If they did not like the one I put them in then I would show them the door. Never in my life have I encountered women so bossy, needy and trashy. I felt sorry for Dorinda going to all the trouble of decorating, planning to have her efforts shot down so quickly upon the classless women arrival.
Tensley is so naive yet far above the rest of these women.
Ok, I’ll be the one to say it. I LOVE drunk Luann. Her falling wildly drunk into the rose bush and laughing hysterically is my all-time moment from the RH franchise. Sober Luann is a massive boor. Drunk Luann is immensely entertaining.
I secretly hope she starts drinking again. Yeah, I know that’s extremely “uncool”. But this is entertainment for me… not treatment.
What I love about these girls is one day they’re fighting about lobsters, then onto fish rooms. Next week fish room will be an afterthought. Everyone will be partying and we will have Sonja having a fit over the Morgan property.
They move on rather quickly and don’t hold grudges forever. I think Dorinda and Luann finally make up. Bethenny has a spat with Luann, but I don’t think it’s that serious. I mean, someone has to bring Lu down a peg by telling her life is not a cabaret.
I wish I could spend Christmas at the Blue Stone Manor. Just sayin’
Me too!!!! It’s like they are sisters. And Ramona and Sonja cackling was freakin hilarious.
The cackling was worse when only heard not seen, seemed to last forever.
Fish room was decorator done. Wish I had seen a complete view of the room, what was shown was horrid.
It sounded to me like the sound was amplified and lengthened in editing.
I agree. It sounded amplified to me, they were covering their faces with their napkins so maybe it sounded louder on the mikes… not sure how to abbreviate microphone, plural…Sonja and Ramona when they hit a certain zone are giggle fest sisters that can’t stop themselves
One of the ladies a few years ago called them white trash, so they looked it up to see what it meant. Ha! They all have their funny moments.
Ahhh…. wasn’t it our dear Aviva who had a Lou moment when she braved her fears to fly to the destination and didn’t get a parade or party when she arrived? Weren’t Ramona and Sonja drinking and being crazy and that’s when she called them that? Such a great memory of them.
@janabanana, I agree. I loved watching them crack up.
I also loved how they giggled in the car as they made sure the driver was awake and knew where to go.
I could see me and a couple of good girlfriends acting silly like this under the right circumstances. A long weekend away, excited about a mini vacation, Blue Stone Manor destination and no cares in the world for the next few days (other then HW “drama”)? Tinsley in my opinion was actually fun too, she was playing the straight guy but was in on the silliness, not seriously worried about their behaviour and I think she was enjoying all of their interactions to include the driver.
I’m actually seeing Tinsley this season and I’m liking her, alot!
Once again LuAnn proved money can’t buy you class…
Oh you hit the nail on the head squarely!
That orange sweater Bethenny is wearing on the yacht is butt ugly. Frankly, Bethenny wears a ton of ugly clothes, and I have no idea why. She can afford a good stylist.
I don’t really care for Bethenny but I do think she has beautiful clothes, shoes and bags. I can’t imagine how much she pays for clothes. It annoyed me when she was critical of Caroline for being more clothes conscious when Bethenny is the most conscious of what people are wearing and the first to judge.
Bethenny is a walking contradiction.
I hope Luann’s bitchy behavior is because she’s struggling a bit, we all have struggles and some take it out on others, which doesn’t make it right. It’s what it is.
In the past, Lu has been a very good hostess when people stay at her home. She makes people feel very comfortable. She never gets upset when they crossed boundaries in her home. She let some bad behavior slide. She even buys them gifts when they visit.
I have to admit, Lu’s Hampton home is my all time favorite. It looks so cozy, warm, inviting and fun. I don’t like her round house upstate. I guess I’m a square person.
I’m a square too, stuck in a round world.
Maybe I’m square too. Luann reminds me of the nursery rhyme “when she was good she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid”….
I’m sorry but Lu was acting like an elitist snob and was taking advantage of Dorinda’s hospitality. She honestly was giving me LVP vibes, making other castmates grovel….. Not a good look.
LuAnn irks me with her entitled attitude. She was supposed to have the best room after she got married. Now, she’s supposed to have the best room because Dorinda should be doing that to kiss her ass and make up to her. Pleeeeeease!!!!
Someone should have told Lu to be cool…. Dont be all, uncool.
Ha! So true.
I am continually amazed at the bad manners of these women in demanding what room they want or don’t want *when they are staying in someone’s home.* Ramona per usual tried to grab the best room first, but then LuAnn just took it to next-level rude. I was shocked at how she kept going on and on. LuAnn is so self-centered and entitled–I can’t stand her. And then polite Tinsley says she’ll switch–but Lu just goes on to insult Tinsley on top of insulting Dorinda.
When Lu watches this show air, I wonder if she sees how utterly rude and self-centered and terrible and bad-mannered she looks.
I agree, SD, about LuAnn’s entitlement, and because she is so over-the-top self-centered I doubt she will see it that way.
I can see why LuAnn’s attitude has returned. I was at one of her shows recently, and while I really did truly enjoy it, the crowd was screaming for her like she was the Beatles. I’m not excusing her behavior–don’t get me wrong–but after seeing how they were treating her I can see why she’s like that again. She’s acting like the diva the crowds make her feel like. I hope she realizes how horrible she’s coming off when she watches this back. I also think this has a lot too do with not being able to drink. The HW shows are liquor central……sadly. I wish her well but being on this show is not helping her.
Over the years LuAnn has rubbed me the wrong way. I just don’t enjoy her entitlement and lack of self-awareness, but I thought her recent trials would humble her and we would see more of the funny, self-deprecating side she sometimes shows. After tonight’s display I won’t hold my breath.
What a luxury to summon a Therapist to your home. Jus sayin’
Can you imagine? I’ve trudged through rain, sleet and snow at 9:30 once a week for the last three years. How about a session in bed!
I love Melinda, she’s so like Dorinda in her speech and mannerisms. It’s almost like seeing who Dorinda would’ve been without the new York neuroses and alcohol. Maybe she shouldn’t have left great Barrington (?) either.
I actually think the fish room is funny, I’d sleep there no problem! Not finished the episode yet, had to pause to deal with a pooping 4 month old (🤢) , back to the drama…
I cant imagine ever staying at someone’s home and complaining about the room #firstworldproblems
I’ve watched every episode of RHNYC. I feel like we’ve met Melinda before but can’t quite remember…something about animals and rescuing animals, not just dogs or cats. Does anyone else remember or am I just wishful dreaming/drinking?
could you possibly be thinking about Caroline Manzo’s sister?? If I remember correctly wasn’t her sister into rescuing animals?? For some reason that seems familiar to me. But I could be mistaken. I have menopause brain…..
Oh! I think you’re right!!! Thank you Cindy!
All I could think during Beth’s session was… this poor man has to put on a bullshit face and watch these visine tears falls. The guy could hardly get a comforting word in edgewise, but when he did he made sure to give her what she wanted. Permission to get laid. Cringey ass scene! Made me feel guilty I didn’t feel bad for her with her fakery 🖐🏼
Yes it was cringe worthy and wasn’t it just last week that she revealed she was engaged, now she says she was still dating , and now she’s confused what her place was at funeral ? Making arrangements ?
If she was still with him at time of death totally understand why she felt out of place but she had on/off relationship , had already met current boyfriend so what was it?
I think it was too soon to be dating regardless of whether or not she broke up with him…
I’m confused because Bethenny said Dennis proposed to her before he passed and she’s wearing the engagement ring, even during the drive-by therapy session. Yet now she says they weren’t together.
I’ve learned from personal experience that people grieve in all different ways. it’s certainly not a new sentiment. I admit that I’m a bit judgy of Bethenny. Something is kinda off about her story and the timelines. Most of these women are attention whores so when they do deserve more empathy, it can be hard to give.
I’m glad that I am not the only one who is confused.
I understand the confusion! Here’s one thing I’ve noticed about myself with this franchise in particular. I love them all. At any given time through every season (right now I think there is a perfect cast of HWs on this show) I am in love, bowing down, disappointed, fascinated, sad for, angry with, jealous of, feeling superior, embarrassed, proud of…you name it with the glorious backdrop of luxury, big city, travels with women who for the most part had very humble beginnings and all certainly have had humbling experiences along the way.
How these women deal with, react to, try to understand and keep moving forward in their lives is a testament to women in every walk of life. The struggle is really hard sometimes and although most of these women have financial safety, they show us their frailties and what makes them tick more than any other franchise of HWs imo. My empathy has been all over the map with this group over the years but I get them and really love that they get so real about their life’s ups and downs.
Great Recap!!
Luann is being ridiculous … and also should’ve listened when Tinsley said it was her fault and as you see in clip for next week Bethenny slams Lu for saying anything negative for her having that room .. ( after all Bethenny has done for her) so I think this is the beginning of end of Bethenny and Luann as well….
Dorinda reminds me of Leah Remini ( her voice especially)
I thought she looked gorgeous in talking head and it was nice to see her sister….
Not excusing Lu…her behavior was awful. Very self entitled and just not gracious on any level. Having said that, my father in law was a functioning alcoholic and stopped drinking. The first year of his sobriety was awful. He was very mean and nasty and acted like a complete asshole to family and friends. It was so bad we all joked in private we liked him better when he drank. I know this is a common experience so maybe this was part of Lu’s internal struggle. Regardless, she was horrible.
Having known many addicts…….. I believe LuAnn overreacting and getting her own room (if she did) was her way to be able to be alone and drink in private……
I believe Luann is dreading the drunken antics of her cast mates. Sonja looks really bad next week. It as to rough being around a bunch of sots.
I don’t think Lu was mad about the room, she was mad she couldn’t drink. She was craving alcohol big time at dinner and caused a fight on purpose.
How long is Lu on probation?
I love Dorinda’s house also (the downstairs) but in the past shows filmed there it seemed like the bedrooms weren’t anything at all?…like I seem to remember somebody sleeping on what looked like a pull out sofa-bed? and even the room where Ramona pulled off the light seemed very plain/undecorated…So maybe Dorinda has gotten around to the bedrooms? Whatever…I am over these girls fighting over rooms also..
Lu acted like a spoiled child with Dorinda. I don’t want to say that because I’m team Lu. She is only giving Dorinda ammo to tear her down in the future. By the way, I think room themes are dumb. My two cents are spent.
if those are “half million dollar” rooms then some interior decorator is laughing their azz off to the bank…
I’ve been sticking up for Lu for years, but I cannot after this episode. Ramona and Sonja too, they were completely rude about that room. I don’t care how much money you have, you don’t act like that when someone is hosting you. I was completely disgusted by their actions.
I agree. Dorinda can invite me to be a guest in her Berkshires home or NYC apartment and I’d be happy to stay and sleep in whatever room she’d like to put me up in! It wouldn’t even occur to me that which room I’d sleep in was up for debate. It’s her home and I’m a GUEST!!!
These bitches really can turn anything into a big fuckin issue. Making such a big deal out of staying in the “fish room” is ridiculous. Instead of being gracious and happy to have a place to stay these women act like spoiled girls who are throwing a tantrum on vacation because they don’t like their room. It’s behavior like this that makes them soooooooooo unlikeable. Between Lu acting like a spoiled bitch and Sonya and Ramona cackling like wild hyenas this scene was cringeworthy. For women claiming to have so much “class” they really are classlesss.
I would hate to stay in that horrible fish room – just saying! But I wouldn’t complain. The Countess is angry and selfish. You would think after all her bad press she would be concerned about how she is perceived?? Even in her tag-line she says she is fabulous. Top tip Countess: Fabulous doesn’t get drunk & arrested, nor does Fabulous get sued by her children.
My kvelling and plotzing moments of this episode are: KVELLING: Sonja’s flawless cocktail dress at the dog thing PLOTZING: Tinsley’s Remedial Vodka Operating Instructions Summer School Moment when she claims, and I quote, “I’ve been grinding my teeth so much at night I’ve ended up creating all this pain, so I had vodka, but I was drooling it in my mouth and then spitting it out just to numb the pain.” Can you feel the breeze of vodka-swillers-around-the-world (myself included) shaking their fists in outrage? NObody puts Uncle Tito in a corner.
How long does everyone think Lu’s Caberet act will continue? Another year or so? I see it puttering out soon.
Heard on radio today the fish room is what Dorinda’s late husband Richard caught and had mounted. seems more appropriate for a man cave den.
No one mentioning Ramona Stinger just casually walking past Tinsley’s mom Dale at the fashion show without a hello!! eye roll!!!!! Punk.
No, not the Red Lion. They had dinner at the Wheatleigh Hotel. There’s even a topic titled “Dinner at the Wheathleigh Hotel” in the recap.
I like Tinsley and wish she’d listened to Carole’s advice a couple of seasons ago about reinventing her lift instead of trying to recapture her old one. I think her mom, Dale is frustrated that Tinsley is now age 43 and trying recapture a life that she casually threw away at age 33. That said, Dale needs to be kind because Tinsely seems very aware of the fact that she messed up.
LuAnn is back to that same unlikable person we saw seasons 1-3 which got her demoted to friend status, she should watch herself.
I was happy to see Dorinda maintain composure while dealing with LuAnn’s diva tantrum. I need the sober, funny Dorinda to return.
I like Bethenny but if she never did therapy on camera again it would be too soon.
Sonja and Ramona’s cackle made my ears bleed
I didn’t miss Barbara at all.
Sonja and Ramona should share the fish room so when they don’t GET LUCKY they can come home and hump the fish!
bethenny needs to stop using dennis’s death as her storyline. her story keeps changing too – gave her a ring but not engaged – had issues to work on – then secretly engaged, which was it? if they were engaged and it was a secret, why does she need to announce it now? he is not here to defend himself. she’s looking for an approval to date! soo disrespectful to his wife and children. she needs to keep her dysfunction and fake therapy sessions off the air, if anything out of respect for his family! poor b, she didn’t know what her role was at funeral! maybe his family is trying to heal, and she opens the wounds and pours salt in!
