Basically she went to boarding school, was pretty and popular, is from a good family and married much better. She was at the forefront of the whole socialite as a celebrity social media thing and the fame quickly went to her head. She was popular and pretty back then and did not handle it well. She divorced her husband thinking she was all that but found out she wasn't all that without the Mortimer name and bank account behind her. Took her a while to realize this and now she is in panic mode trying to get it back. She is not very smart and is a fame whore. She was pretty way back when but now is just odd looking imo - hasn't aged well (is only young in the old and botoxed RHO... universe not IRL).

Well I am in good shape but I am not skinny enough to ever want a logo like THAT on my ass! Very pretentious- it surprised me she would have a jean line with that name on it. Plus they looked like the $10 leggings they sell at CVS in the 'as seen on' aisle at Christmas time.

Re: Carole- I do think it is a desire to appear youthful that contributes to her ease with Tinsley. Her childish energy is a lot lighter than Bethenny's miasma. Plus they travelled together over the summer and I imagine Tinsley to be a much mellower traveler than Bethenny. Carole probably just doesn't feel like being called on her shit every. single. time with Bethenny.

Re: Tinsley- I just think she's one of those show-pony girls who is childlike/a little dumb and literally jumps up and down a lot. I loved her shoes in her dramatic "OMG" falling scene in her foyer. I think she actually went to jump up and down and kind of fell over when she misstepped.

The most unattractive thing about her is her high anxiety/neediness in relationships. Carole is always telling her to chill/play it cool and she just cannot. That would be the hardest thing about being with someone like her- she isn't pretty or smart enough to make that hassle worth it. Only to a guy who gets his self-esteem from feeling like he is the white knight who takes care of everything. Her nose is unnatural to me but I haven't seen any before/afters online. I think it's the microlift/angle of the brows that makes her face so odd, combined with really thin but obviously filled lips. She looks young/old.

Didn't Sonja seem to contradict herself and say that she had never cheated on her husband in France at the same time as she told Ramona "you are the only one I told!"... did anyone notice that? She kept denying it- yet also seemed to be accusing Ramona of being the only one who could have fed that to Dorinda. Sonja made herself sympathetic in the version of the story she told Bethenny where she leaves out the whole "I'm tired of hearing about your dead husband" thing. I was LOL @ the scene where she was cozying up to two bewildered looking waaay younger women saying "My friends are mad I didn't contact them all summer".... ugh ok.

And Ramona being so shady with the Luanne and Missy thing always having Missy without giving Luanne the heads up... wtf...they may as well cut out the middleman and share STDs directly.

Maybe that will come out later in the season. Tinsley is pretty much the anti-Bethenny. Could two people have less in common.

Probably, but I also think Bethenny is getting a little full of herself (fuller of herself?). When she said she couldn't go to Ramona's shopping party -- not even for a short appearance -- because she was too busy doing worthy/charitable work and then they cut to her and her assistant bouncing around ideas of who should go with her to PR, I mean, really.

I agree, the scenes that are basically a Bethenny promo for her charity and products are a snoozefest.

When they're all together in a group, I want her there though. She always make it funnier and more interesting and often times just nails it with a comment or an observation.

Tinsley is so stupid. Who lives in a hotel long term?

Ugh the Nivea “ad” was ridiculous.

When did they do the priv services or nivea "ad"? I must have missed that.
