It all looks like the same thing to me.

She claimed to have known the people behind Skinny Cow and that her Skinny Girl is different. Her argument with John didn't make sense to me then or now.

I quoted you, but this isn't specifically addressed to you... but you reminded me of what I was thinking when I watched. I see what you mean because it seemed awkward to have such a conversation in front of Bethany's employees but I don't feel bad for Sonja. That meeting really just drove home why it's everyone else's fault she is poor and therefore she feels it is their duty to let her scavenge off them however she may in order to (boo hoo) have "$ for her daughter"... well her daughter will be headed for university in a couple years and the father pays her education, etc... when that girl ages out at 18, what will her excuse be then?

Sonja, You just happened to forget to run this tipsy girl by your friend from whom you are borrowing a theme/product/name so closely? You really thought she'd be thrilled? And she needs to put up with this sh!t (from anyone else she'd sue) because you're poor + you are her friend + you like the idea = no harm no foul? She considers her business her livelihood for family. Messing with that is messing with Bethany's daughter. Why is it ok for Sonja to mess with Bethany's daughter to 'fake help' her own? When she has OTHER financial avenues to pursue.... like selling her damn house.

To the PP who asked why she wasn't married again... she is a combo of not that smart/beautiful/fun/deep + obviously alcoholic/pharmaceutically challenged/crazy delusional. Why WOULD anyone go for that?

Crazy in the head, crazy in the bed... but it's soooo much crazy that any bedroom antics are no compensation. Plus she hardly seems like a one man gal, just an opportunist. Her ex must wonder wth he was thinking.

Sonja is living off her ex (although not very smartly...downsize, it hurts to watch you live in your mansion you can't afford!). Carole published a few books 10 plus years ago and is just riding that out. Jules is a stay at home mom, which normally wouldn't be boring, but she's pretty disconnected from that role and hires it all out. BORING!

According to Celebrity Net Worths, Carol is worth about $50 million.

Carole has said that website is egregiously off. Her husband only inherited $500k from Jackie and at one point a season or two ago Carole was selling a chair her husband had gotten from JFK. She's comfortable I'm sure but nowhere NEAR 50 mil.

I have a hard time believing how any of these people are as rich as they are. Besides Bethanny, none of them ever seem to be doing anything and most of them aren't even married anymore. Go figure.

Why would anyone assume she does coke?

Or maybe she really thinks her business ventures are going to work? I don't know.

Did Luann ever work? I can't remember her occupation (maybe because she never had one).

Jules...I would have so much more respect for her if she either A. Mothered her own children or B. Had an actual job a la Heather or Bethany. Seems like she just shops at sample sales, gets blowouts and lunches all the time? Ugh.

Luann was a nurse.

LPN not RN

It looks like she's spending it all on Botox.

She can't afford it and hasn't been able to for years. She could rent an apartment and be fine. But she HAS to hang on to that house.

Or she has second mortgages and can't afford to sell. She's probably been living off the equity and hoping things will turn around (marry someone rich to bail her out).

I loved how Sonja was like "I just want to be where I was, I just want to be able to keep my daughter in school." Such BS. You know the ex pays for all the daughter related expenses.
