As much as I'm not a fan of Bethenny (although her observations are hilarious and spot on sometimes!), the show absolutely needs her.

She has been collecting designers for years. I worked in fashion in the early 90s and she can pull out an older piece and it will look pristine and up to date. She wears clothes well too which is something you can't underestimate. Lots of those women just look like pigs with lipstick and botox.

I find Dorinda the least attractive of the ladies. There is something so rough and crude about her, and I think her hair color is very aging against her complexion, though this could of course be her alcoholism. She's gross. I also think she's a good example of someone who "wears her clothes", but not in a good way: her trailer park persona taints every ensemble.

I love her but I think she looks like a truck stop waitress.

I don't care that they drink, but wonder if they ever watch themselves on tv later.

I can only imagine what the staff of this Villa thinks. HOLY CRAP!! I love this show.

So I understand why LuAnn wanted to blindly rush into marriage but what on earth was in it for Tom? What was he thinking?

That's so funny, I see Dorinda 180 degrees differently. I think she's adorable and lovely - WHEN SOBER. Ugh, when she drinks and gets all slurry, I can't stop cringing. I don't understand how after so many seasons on this show, and having to see yourself on the screen acting this way, why you wouldn't abstain from alcohol while filming. She clearly is an alcoholic who cannot stop before getting messy and drunk.

As for Lu and her divorce, I feel sorry for her. She can be incredibly obnoxious, but I still adore her as one of the NYC OG's. But her judgement totally sucks. We only see what's on the tee vee but based on that, she was hauling Tom to that altar, and it was pretty graceless.

No way. She was in love with him. How ridiculous she sounds when she continuously puts him on a pedestal. He's her rose?? She was infAtuated with him...which is why you don't marry after just months of dating and a cheating scandal. I'm wondering if something happens in the last episode as the previews hinted and she was done. He then filed becAuse she did and felt like a dog in a choke hold.

Lighten up, Francis. They were on a trip to Tequila. Drinking is sort of the point. It was all good fun.

damn! I didnt know the divorce was real. I feel bad for her, I think she was genuinely in love. I mean, you would have to be to deal with everything she dealt with last year AND stayed with him. Better sooner rather than later I guess

I am interested to hear what she says on the show. Talk about having to eat crow.

I don't know that she'll eat crow. I feel like LuAnn will own it. She (allegedly) was in love and thought he was her soulmate, so would probably make the same decision again.
