I do not miss Carole at all, but then again, I never felt she really added anything to the dynamic.
I would rather Tinsley unleash her inner bitch rather than her inner crybaby. That being said, it's hard not to feel a little bad for her even though she readily admits her "addiction" to fame is costing her relationships.
Jill was actually very subdued in this appearance, and dare I say, likeable again?

But she's game, and that counts for a lot. I'd like them to give her another go next season and also keep Tinsley. Tinsley probably benefits more from the show financially and socially than the others, maybe even psychologically, having something of her own. I would just hate for her to become a tragic figure.

Here's the thing with her "downward spiral," though: if you follow IG or Twitter, it's clear that she hasn't spiraled all the way down yet. Her egotism and self-indulgence know no bounds, but she's continuing to sell out venues (why, I can't fathom) and she's got a spanking new (if weird) house in Sullivan County.

Coming back from one of the breaks, Carole held up her silver ankle-high Chain-Mail shoes (that were supposed to match her dress) but they looked like Game of Thrones
Even though they were close allies for the night, all Dorinda could manage was, "Where did you find those?"
"On the internet", said Carole cluelessly

Tinsley Mortimer wanted to be a Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian type with branding and merchandising and endorsement deals. Along with that reality show she had on the CW.
That's not going to happen now. She's to old and she's to New York for that to come to fruition. The magic of Paris and Kim is they had that hollywood LA back drop that worked in their favor and Tinsley is to closely linked to New York society for her to achieve that Hilton/Kardashian/Jenner success fame and wealth that they've accumulated.
Real housewives is as good as its going to get for Tinsley. She's just not interesting in that way.

R148 I just don't see her reaching Kim/Paris levels of fame at this point in her life. She could probably still have a show of her own again, but would anyone watch a show about Tinsley and Dale? And how interesting would it be?
People didn't even want to watch a show about Paris Hilton and it was cancelled after season one. Paris doesn't really have a personality the way Nichole Richie does which is why Paris solo show didn't work.
But than again, Tinsley seems to be a big mess. And also a bit of arrested development going on.

How much $$$ is lu making from her cabaret shows? I mean, she was able to buy a house on her own and I'm sure her salary from the show helped buy it. But will a cabaret show really sustain her the way she wants to?
And does anyone know how much that suit Tinsley stays in cost? Is the show paying for that or is her mother paying for it? I'm really curious about Tinsleys finances. How the hell is her lifestyle being financed? She can't be making a whole lot from the show especially after taxes.

I don't think Tinsley's mom has a pot to piss in. And I'm not sure how Tins' lifestyle is being financed. Any settlement she got from Topper must be long gone.
As for LuAnn, her RH take is probably well over a million/season, wouldn't you say? And I don't know what she rakes in from her cabaret tour, but the overhead probably isn't that great. She's paying Stritch and Rimalower and a 3 piece combo; the set consists of a couple of potted plants; and the "friends" may be doing it for scale, or just for the publicity (she's had Bridget Whatsername, Andrew K-B, and De Laria, right?) And her cabaret and the RH season scratch each other's backs in terms of free PR.

The Mortimer money has funded trusts for a whole lot of descendents (I think the original source was Standard Oil, but I may be wrong about this), and the name itself has more cachet than actual spending power. But in any case, Tins hasn't been married to a Mortimer for around 10 years, and the Mercer money was of recent vintage (carpets, I believe, in Richmond) and is likely long gone.

I think it's ridiculous that the Kardashians are being paid $150 million dollars by E!. but the only reason any of these reality tv "stars" get anything anywhere near what there getting as far as their salaries are concerned. Is because there's a audience and a market for it.
As long as people tune in to watch any of these clowns on reality tv, and the ratings are high or decent. And the network is happy, these people will continue to have jobs on tv and continue to bank multi million dollar paychecks.
And that's just the truth. And us gossiping about them contributes to their success and relevance.

Tinsley doesn't seem to own any property anywhere. I believe she rents that hotel suite while she is filming the show but otherwise crashes with people in Palm Beach. This is the reason the apartment hunting story line never went anywhere. Whatever pittance she makes from the show she blows on clothes. The Mercers have long tried to present themselves as long money blue bloods (mostly so Tins and Dabney could marry well) but the dad sold carpets and died drunkenly in debt. It's all a facade per usual.
For the NY housewives, Bethenny has the most money by a long shot. Ramona would be next: she has that fabulous Hamptons estate plus an expensive apartment in NYC. Dorinda and Sonja are probably next, in that order. I'm not sure how much money Luann has but she's probably not worth as much as she was when she was married to the Count.

Isn't she looking to sell a part of her company because its consuming her to much? Bethenny really should just go. She doesn't need reality tv.
I wish someone would ask her why is she on the show. Its just attention for the sake of attention at this point. She needs to go be a full-time mother to her daughter. Instead of trying to be a reality tv "star."

I just cared about raising money for the victims of sexual abuse and getting all my friends together for a good time. You see my father was abusive, well not physically, but he had no filter and he could be very hurtful, so I have experience with this issue and Birdie approached me. Then Dorinda and Sonja got involved, and they tried to pretend that it was their charity, but "No!" Birdy approached me, because I have friends and connections, and because i am a successful business woman. And I have 'young' friend too, because I look so young. Did you know I did Core Fusion two days in a row? Anyway, Bethenny didn't come, because she doesn't support women.

It seems like it was something like that - definitely not the $60 million or whatever amount that was batted around. She had a partner she had to split the money with, and I believe the rest of her contracted money depended on future sales.

This is a losing battle, and I don't know why she is fighting it so fiercely. No way she is going to get total custody. The only people gaining from this are the lawyers.

The underlying (and sometimes blatant) animosity between Ramona and Jill in the early seasons was always made of win. It's so funny looking back how Jill had the upper hand and the audience on her side. Yet when that tide shifted, it was Ramona who was left standing.

Jill lost a lot of her audience toward the end of her run. She was just so vicious, and not always rational. I remember her getting into a screaming fight with Alex because Alex knew B's father had died and Jill didn't. She was just awful all the time, and worse at the reunions. I don't think the audience turned in favor of Ramona (or Alex)--just against Jill.

I still say getting rid of Jill after season 4 was a mistake, and this is coming from someone who doesn't necessarily care for her. But she was still a staple on the show. Her presence, whether it was good or bad, was familiar. Alex, Kelly, Cindy - I understood. NY never quite recovered from that jarring shakeup.

I disagree, r258. Jill was too toxic all through season 4. She badly miscalculated her support, both among the HWs and with the viewers.
I think she would like it to be thought that she's mellowed now, softened by Bawby's death (never mind that it was only a matter of weeks until she jumped in the sack with this Gary person) but I think that's only true until she thinks she's been crossed or slighted. I don't really care if she comes back, although it bothers me that she's being given another chance---and I know I'm just being pissy.

That's the thing R282, she was socialised to believe the a worthwhile life is one with a husband (with status) and kids and having a child on her own would not be a version of that but a failure of it.
I don't think that means she would be a bad mum just that in her mind there is no relationship between the idea of having kids with a man and having kids on her own - they're not two similar options but one represents the life she always thought she was going to lead and the other represents failure.
I don't think it's as simple as saying that she dosn't want children on her own and so children aren't important to her.

Lu is not coming off well. Whatever relatively harmless thing Sonja said to her early in the hour set her off: "You're sitting at MY table in MY house, so you'd better watch yourself." The Bryn talking point is dangerous for Lu; someone with a long memory could remark that Lu was never home with her kids. Their main attachment was to Rosie.
I can't believe Lu was really shocked by Barb's admission that she's sexually fluid (or as someone said, "sexually liquid"), since she knew about the affair with a woman. And I was surprised that the other women seemed a bit uncomfortable with it.

r304, it seemed like they struggled a bit this season to find a narrative. It feels very "episodic" which is not necessarily a bad thing. I have been enjoying it. However, I think at this point, the HW audience has come to expect some kind of cohesive storyline for each season.

It's not necessarily a cohesive storyline over the season I'm after R304, in fact that may be one of the problems, that there may be too much focus on trying to maintain overarching narratives (maybe?). It's just that the episodes themselves feel quite bitty and forced, like someone spliced together a lot of footage but without any real overarching point to each episode. For me that is more important to a season-wide storyline.

How can Jason be "the devil" after we saw him be the nice, calm guy for all of those episodes of RHONY as well as the spin-off shows? He and his family were so nice and boring, I can't understand how he could be a neglectful father.
I suspect that Bethenny is sick of being tied down to joint custody requirements--she wants to be able to travel where she wants, when she wants with the kid but can't. I like Bethenny but I truly hope that any effort to deny Jason's access to his daughter is truly about Jason's ability to be a good parent and not about Bethenny's career or social ambitions.
by Anonymous | reply 351 | May 17, 2019 1:57 PM |
I had a very different impression of Jason; I thought he was very tightly wound (that clenched jaw) and controlling. I don't think Bethenny is saying he's a neglectful father and I'm sure he's not. But he may well be an unpleasant one, and he may use Bryn to get at Bethenny. Once a marriage is over, the only weapons the former spouses have are money and the children. If Jason loses custody, he loses his meal ticket: she is currently paying him both alimony and child support and I don't think he contributes anything to Bryn's support except what Bethenny gives him for that purpose.
I don't think it's about her career or social ambitions. I think it's that she hates him and doesn't want the kid around him. And he feels the same about her.

I'm sure she does, r363. Whatever contributions he made to her brand were repaid long ago, and the fact that she is still his sole source of support must be galling to her. They were only married for <3 years and yet he expects her to pay his way indefinitely. I'm surprised he's not embarrassed.

I think Jason sells sporting goods and used to be a pharmaceutical rep. Assuming he has a job at all. Bethenny pays for his apartment and pays him monthly child support for Bryn, which basically creates the fiction that he's contributing to the support of his child.

It's about control; they hate each other at this point, but having to share the kid 50/50 enables them to control each other. She can't just get up & go when she wants and she undoubtedly lets him know at every opportunity that he can't keep the kid in the style to which she has become accustomed so it gives him an opportunity to yank her chain with the only weapon he has left. Having the kid just enables the other to say "she's all mine & don't have to give you shit!". The ironic thing is that one day the kid will hate both of them & they'll both be left alone.

Well, she turned up at the reunion so I'm sure it came up and I'm sure she went on the offensive with this story about "demanding" proof of her violations. The People article isn't helpful and in all likelihood isn't accurate. You don't demand that a judge turn over evidence, as the article reports. I suppose as a matter of procedure you might petition the judge to instruct the prosecution to turn over to the defendant all evidence that will be presented during the proceeding. But of course she's entitled to that by law, as a matter of due process. She's just grandstanding.

Look at most of the housewives in earlier years and look at them now. They looked very common in the beginning and now they all look like celebrities.
The same with people on American idol at the auditions, they all look very common. And as the show progresses they all look like better celebrity versions of themselves.
Everyone looks better after getting into show business.

Photos of Luann's second choice bungalow/drinking hut. It isn't horrible, but the isolation would be a factor. I don't know how healthy that place would be to live alone in. Good thing it has a small spiral staircase, so she can only fall a couple of steps at a time.
Someone picked it up for 410k in 2012, renovated it, and it looks like Luanne paid 950, in 2018. Not cheap, but a far cry from the 6M she wanted to splash out. I'd love to see the house she had her heart set on.

People were touting her comeback, and I never thought Bethenny would allow this. There is no way that those two will ever co-exist in this cast.

But Jill actually filmed, so it was a production/editing decision not to include it, not Bethenny. I can see her perhaps blocking a full-time return, but I doubt she had anything to do with them not including what Jill filmed.

Have they had the 80s aerobics episode yet where Dorinda leads the class in a round of fupa thrusts? I feel like there were some scenes in the trailer that eventually got cut.

Wow, r503. You're right. And they previewed that again in the mid-season trailer. But yet they are already in Miami in the next episode. Something was definitely VERY off with production this season.

No. She was briefly handcuffed while she was before the judge, so I guess she was re-arrested, but she wasn't jailed. She had new conditions added to her parole, which still ends in august.

That would be fun.
I just looked at the previews for next week. There's a long scene centered on a tree-lighting in Manhattan--Dorinda's doing the honors. Jill has the briefest walk-on. Dorinda asks LuAnn to stop talking about her as part of her cabaret patter and Lu blows her off ("It's my cabaret show and I'll say whatever I want"). Most of the episode seems to revolve around Sonja's bad behavior, though. I wonder whether Lu went on the Miami trip.

We missed Bethenny when she left to do her talk show but now that she's been back for a while, she's become a shrill bore. She needs to go away for a few years at least and let us miss her again.

I'm the poster who was revisiting the show last night, after an absence of a few years. Ramona looks excellent for her age. And she's very well lit in her testimonials.
Nothing against Carole, but the vibe is much better without her. The women seem like a group of people who are actually friends, or frenemies. Carole always seemed superfluous, to me.

Carole upset the very delicate balance among these women. Whether or not they like each other (and I think some of them truly don't), they've established a detente of sorts without Carole to stir shit. The show is much more enjoyable without her--although I will never understand how a group of women who wanted Bethenny dead at last season's reunion are now neutral to positive toward her.

Well, it's all a performance, and they're professional actors at this point. (Although, granted, rehab, lawsuits, and accidental death certainly are "real life.") Carole just didn't fit the ensemble.

It makes sense that Bethenny is mellow this year because she's Queen B(ee) again. Carole was the only one left to stand up to her last season. Everyone else kowtows to her, and that mollifies her. If somebody displeases Bethenny, though, she'll be right back to attacking others then sobbing as though she was the victim. Count on it.

Maybe I’m in the minority but I’ve always found RHONY has always worked better when Bethenny and Ramona are on the same team. Something about their chemistry makes the show flow better. I like them together. The two of them aligned against Lu provides great drama and the right balance.
I’m also really enjoying Tinsley this season, she seems to have found her voice. It’s disappointing that she seems to have gotten back with Scott and has little or no contact with the cast outside of filming according to Dorinda. It might be time for her to go and bring in 2 new cast members.

Like many in these threads have said, Tinsley seems like a good, nice person (I love how polite and inoffensive she tries to be), but she is a mess and not in a way that is interesting for trashy reality tv. She needs to go find a good therapist and find some interests in her life. Yes, she has found her voice this season, but i can’t help but laugh how she is ignored and talked over every time she speaks up lol. I wish the Tinz the best though!
