Bethenny is so gross. I mean she sits there literally insisting people say unbeweavable and keeps reiterating it even though the joke was a clunker. And though I’m not a Ramona fan by any means it was so condescending to tell Ramona to call her when she has a successful business or when Ramona said she has a house in the Hamptons for Bethenny to say something like she has 5 of them. She’s disgusting.

You realize that this type of show is froth, right? A guilty pleasure for viewers, and little substance, with a cast of superficial women who agreed to this, and who recognize that their looks and personalities will be scrutinized? Carole agreed to do this. She put herself into this situation. She isn't campaigning for public office or debating philosophy or literature in an academic setting. She is on a reality show in which superficial women present themselves and their superficial problems and looks to be analyzed.

She knows she isn't physically attractive; it isn't a surprise to her that there is discussion about her looks in the media, etc. because she VOLUNTARILY chose to be on RHONY.

If you don't want to read people's opinions about a reality show casts' looks and personalities, you should probably find a different form of media to read and write about.

I do think Carole is ugly. And I think this sort of thread is the appropriate place to write about it.

If I were commenting on a thread about politics or literature or philosophy, I wouldn't be focusing on peoples' personal appearances. But ugly Carole's huge mouth is fair game in a thread about RHONY.


The show is about "real" women and their lives, not their looks. It is about friendship, society, relationships and--to a lesser degree--business and success. How the women perform in those arenas is certainly fair game.

This is not "How Do These Women Look?" That would be a different show. Not even "America's Next Top Model" is about looks--it's about "performing" with those looks.

Did you never take basic literary criticism or film classes?

You ever have that friend who is so clueless/out of it and will never acknowledge the truth- that you give up and don't bother even addressing things- and in doing so, your relationship kind of stalls because it is effectively no longer honest and genuine? This is EVERYONE with Luann. They tried to tell her the truth about Tom. She wasn't having it.

I say this because that's what her balls-out clueless racist 'Diana Ross' costume was another example of- no one even bothered to address how offensive it was because it's so textbook Luann and the others have given up. Dollars to donuts if brought up she would mention for the jillionth time that she is "Indian".

I’m behind. Does she have to pay him if Bravo uses him on the show?


It's old footage from when they were dating. He would have signed a release a long time ago for Bravo to permanently own and use that particular footage forever.

So how does that translate into Bethenny paying him 50k?

And the smoking thing, it was simply weird. Carole is weird.

Bethenny lives her life in the public eye, she needs it, she craves it. It's who she is.

I thought most of the women looked like they've aged a lot this year. Ramona: she looks like she's had some sort of work. I kept looking at her in the interview sections and something is different about her face.

Dorinda is an alcoholic. She's an intensely unhappy person who is self-medicating.

Ramona always over botoxes right before the interviews. She’s done it the last two seasons. By the time the reunion comes around her face has settled a bit.

Agree with all of this. I really like Dorinda and feel so bad she isn't living the life she thought she would with Richard.

I also thought the theme was a living famous person. Regardless, Barbie is neither.


The theme was a famous living person:

In her interview Dorinda clearly said Famous person dead or alive.


Really? I just watched the episode after reading this thread and thought she said famous living person.


I thought the joke was that Carole is a conspiracy theorist who believes that Amelia Earhart is, indeed, still alive. Did no one else get it?


I got it but she’d be 115 yrs old now so dead either way.


Yeah, again...it was a JOKE.

Can't wait to see the falling out between her and bethenny. I miss Heather actually, she and carol had a real friendship and then bethenny ruined it.


I miss Heather too. She had the wit and one-liners Bethenny has, but without it seeming like she was barely hanging on. I wish she'd come back.


She was just in it to promote her business and then get out while she still had her reputation. Smart, I suppose. Her marriage seemed pretty one sided - I don't know if it could take public scrutiny for another season. I like her, so it would be a shame for that to happen.
