Anyone started RHNYC yet?

[EachandEveryone]

Its a good un. Their Halloween outfits! Ramona rocked as Britney. Carole has had some good work done.

Anyone watching?

I think, like Erika in RHOBH, Radzi has reached the point where she is getting nothing ‘fulfilling’ from it and it’s become a chore. I certainly get that sense from both of them.

Piff - I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Neither look like they can be bothered to really engage anymore.

However, Erika doesn’t need the Bravo paycheque - I get the impression Radzi does. Well, maybe not need but she isn’t NY socialite wealthy and that extra cash and all the extras that came with it must have been helpful.

I think she has a lot of integrity though (More than other cast members anyway - Sonja!) and won’t keep turning up just to get paid. It’ll be interesting to see what she does next as she’s smart and witty. I hope she stays with Bravo in some capacity.

Meanwhile, bring on Jill! 😃

Wow. I just watched yesterday’s episode. Jesus.... Dorinda, what a mess.
It makes sense reading in here that they are not friends outside of the show.
I did wonder how you can maintain friendships when you all fall out so often.
That probably why they are so blunt and at times spiteful when they speak to camera after the event.

Aimlessly
Carole has highest net worth of all! Her MIL is Lee Radziwill, (sister of Bobby & Jack Kennedy) & she married European Royalty. So Carole has old money & the title 'Princess' as she's a widow & hasn't remarried (which means she'd lose her title).
Agree Erika is so over it too. Her career is interesting.... She only started singing again 10yrs into her marriage. I think she was bored/it's a way to feel desirable & sexy (which she obv is). She seems funny, savvy & quite kind once you get behind that self protective 'front'.

I didn’t know that CSI.

I knew she had married into the Kennedy family but because her apartment is so small and she doesn’t own property in the Hamptons or elsewhere I assumed she didn’t have as much as the other women.

Also, Bethenny mentioned in the last episode that she always footed the bill for Radzi when they holidayed together so again I thought she didn’t have much spare cash.

I'd like to see kerazy Alex and her sleazy husband make a return!

Aimlessly, I think Carole has a house in LA, it's been on the show a few times. Also, she wasn't married into the Kennedys but was the best friend of Caroline Bessette, who was!

I thought her husband was related to the Kennedy's?

If you ever watch million dollar listings her appartment is worth at least 3 million. The houses upstate might be five times bigger but arent worth nowhere near.

I knew Carol was the wealthiest even compared to the BH crowd. I think Lisa just tops her.

Jeez anyone else wanted to restart smoking again after watching the latest one? They were all off their faces around thst dinner table. Dorinda has always been a bad drunk.

Im in awe of their figures despite the booze they neck and they seem to eat.

I hope carol doesnt go.

CSIBlonde& Dick, Lee Radziwill (Carole’s exMIL) is the younger sister of Jackie Kennedy (so the SIL of JFK & Aristotle Onassis). Their surname before their marriages was Bouvier.

Lee Radziwill’s first DH (father of Carole’s deceased H, Anthony) was a Prince of a now defunct part of the Russian empire.

Goodness, Dorinda + Alcohol = Total nightmare!

It’s as if her ears stop working and her eyes lipread all the wrong words. She then turns into a bad Eminem wannabe and the arms are flailing and her inner gangsta bursts out.

I cringed for her at the dinner Bethenny had before they went to Puerto Rico to distribute aid. Bethenny and her friends did very well I thought to avoid the evening escalating into the usual Dorinda dinner disaster.

Not sure if she’s an alcoholic (Have read her friends are telling her she needs to go to re-hab) or if she’s drinking the same amounts as she did in younger days but now can’t tolerate it. I know I only have to sniff a wine cork now and I get giggly.

She seems very unhappy though.

Was John the father of her child? She talks like she was with him for 30 years. She’s an awful drunk but reminds me of my friend who can get like that. She’s on meds on top and it doesn’t take much.

No, her husband wasn’t the biological father of her daughter. Her daughter seems to have adored him though and Dorinda has said he treated her like his own.

It’s clear she misses him desperately.

Yes I can’t work out what she does for money.

I remember when they all had clear working lives but it’s hard to see what they all do now.

I think I heard she owns property? Rented out maybe.

I also think I remember her saying she used to be an aerobics instructor but there’s been no mention of that since.

I know Ramona buys last season in bulk and then sells on to TK Maxx type stores. She also had a jewellery line and now a skin care brand.

Sonja - Who knows? She does nothing and everything! Boxes for non existent toaster ovens, films that are never made, a lifestyle brand (?), a clothes line, sponsor of a Nigerian football team, burlesque performer, event organiser, plastic crockery line designer, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseam.

Other than the cabaret act and releasing a couple of pop songs, I’ve no idea what Luanne does. I think she just tries to marry into money so that she needs do nothing more than pursue hobby careers.

Tinsley? She’s trust fund financed I think. She had her own reality show years ago but it was very dull and contrived. I’d be interested to know if she does do anything other than reality tv.

Oh, I think Tinsley’s boyfriend gave her a job in his company! No mention of it this series though as far as I can remember.

Remember years ago they were all go getting New Yorkers?

Was Bobby the father of Jilks child? Do the guys all have previous families? I’m just being nosey thinking about money aloud

Was Jill’s daughter Ally conceived using a sperm donor?

It’s been so long since I’ve seen an episode with Jill in. I have it in my mind Jill had a conversation with one of the women about this.

Oh yes, love it.

Bobby definitely has DCs from a previous marriage.

Did you see the Wife Swap episode featuring Jill and Bobby?
He had grandchildren too. His new ‘wife’ made an effort to invite his children (Adult children) over more as they said they would like to spend more time with him without there being so many others there as Jill and Bobby entertained almost nightly.

Pretty sure Bobby isn't the father of Jill's child. I thought Jill was dull, not sure I care whether she comes back.

I hope Alex and her sleazy husband Simon don't come back, omg, he was VILE, I cringed every time he was on the screen. Although hilarious watching them be parents "Felattio, come and learn your Latin. If you feel like it." (I am making up the name, obvs)

I think Dorinda is a complete pisshead and Luanne probably isn't generally but is going to rehab as she's got a felony hanging over her.

Carole has had far too much work done, I think for money she was probably left some and she does some writing doesn't she so probably a bit in royalties. WTF was she wearing in Columbia? The thing with the green and black? Odd indeed.

Bethenny talks a hard ass game but is a mess IMO.

Ramona is just Ramona, in some ways she's the most honest of all because she is what she is. She's entitled and spoilt but she knows it.

Sonja is nuts, completely deluded.

I am fascinated by what amazing skin everyone has, it's luminous.

Oh Tinsley is nightmare too, I think Scott backed off big time as she was too clingy but somehow she's hung in there and made it to a year.

I also love MDLNY and RH of Toronto and BH and Sydney and Melbourne.

Has anyone else watched the latest episode yet?

I was so envious of them sitting outside to eat breakfast. The outside eating area at their villa is gorgeous!

However, all spoilt by bickering. The villa staff were standing by looking a bit aghast as voices are raised.

Cringed for Bethenny as she sat dissecting an earlier unpleasant exchange with Carole completely unaware that Carole had just joined them at the table. Carole took it in good humour I thought but then she seems a bit nonplussed by Bethenny anyway. It’s clear Bethenny is mourning the end of their friendship far more than Carole.

In other news... Jill Zarin has said that she hasn’t been approached by Bravo to return to the franchise.
