@stevieb. You made great points--all valid.  It's almost sad.  Dorinda won't accept she has a problem.  She is in 100% denial.  Early on in the season she said Lu did the first step right--recognizing her problem.  hellooo.....Lu has far less of a problem than Dorinda does.  Lu just got caught. 

---

And even more sad, Win, @winamac1 based on the snippet from WWHL, Dorinda continues her tirade next week, which would seem to indicate her level of denial is somewhat intense...

I am sure Dorinda has seen previous tapes where she is slurring her words and getting louder and louder.  She has to know she is overdoing the drinking, but doesn't care.

@Big Sister

Dorinda's problem, IMO, is far bigger than any of the other women's problem.  She is seriously in denial and it's almost embarrasing to watch her.  She has no clue what she's doing as she is in denial and does not think she has a problem.  It's disgusting.

---

The other thing about Dorinda that's actually sort of frightening is that she seems to escalate so quickly and lose any sort of censor or control so easily...

I know John can be kind of gross, but I sort of feel sorry for him, as I would bet almost anything that Dorinda emotionally abuses him.  I know he's a grown man, and doesn't have to accept it, but I still kind of feel sorry for him.  They've shown her say some mean things to him here and there, but I bet you she is kind of vicious when it's just the two of them.  I've always liked Dorinda, but that nasty side of her makes me think of her a little differently.  

---

I think that John and Dorinda will never get married.  They are drinking buddies.  If D were to sober, up I think she would drop John.

---

@Big Sister  Dorinda said she likes her dry cleaning, probably gets it for free now.

---

She does get it for free.  She stated that years ago,

Why did B call Dennis to get her a flight out? He's not her personal secretary. She had no intention of leaving -- I believe that part was bs.

I knew she would quickly recover and go shopping with the rest of them.

I'm with Carole concerning the disagreement with B. I'm thinking B was right when she said Carole just didn't like her. Obviously something changed between the two of them.

I'm thinking B just can't stand that Carole backed away from her...for whatever reason. She was used to Carole following her around. I wouldn't doubt it if B complains a lot and Carole just got tired of it and didn't want to be around her as much.

Ramona said on wwhl that B's friend blew her off and then she asked Carole to go with her -- and Carole paid her own way. It wasn't like B "took" Carole somewhere and paid for it. That's the way I understood it.

I chuckled when B mentioned that she has a full schedule and every minute of the day is scheduled with something to do -- something like that. And she mentioned that she has so many businesses. eye roll

And yet she seems to go on many vacations.

---

@Daisy Sunflower. eyeroll with me too--she's so scheduled, but she has time for therapy, yoga, walking on the beach as often seen in paparazzi photos, taking her daugher out to shop and for ice cream, filming a reality show, dating, going to the Hamptons, etc. etc. etc.  I did not miss that comment either.  I don't think her life is as scheduled as she wants all the viewers to know.

I also don't see her items for sale very often any longer.  Her wine is always discounted, and the skinny girl margarita fad is over now--as far as buying her label.  I do have one friend who continues to buy it, and she mixes a shot of tequila with it as it is so weak without it.  I don't think B drinks that stuff.  

Her jeans may be popular.  Those launch either in August or September.

And the cigs, too.    I've noticed they seem to show her smoking a lot more than before.  I don't think they've really shown her smoking many times, but maybe I've just missed it.  Also, Carole smoking!  The others even asked when Carole started smoking.  I remember at Dorinda's Halloween party Carole dressed as Amelia Earhart, and was smoking because she said Amelia smoked a lot (?).  Bethenny said something about how Carole seemed to be smoking for the sake of smoking, and not using the smoking as part of her "impersonation." 

---

I think Carole smokes to keep her weight down,  The oddness of that is baffling to me.  She now is a runner and also smokes...WTH?

Dorinda , as someone else stated, does laugh it off on WWHL--meaning the drinking.  She wants everyone to believe she doesn't have a problem.  As I mentioned before, I truly don't think she believes she has a problem.

Carole does always keep her cool. I will give her that.  It's so frustrating to Bethenny to now be the underdog in that relationship.  She's not used to that,  She always is used to the other Housewives, up until this season, almost begging for her attention and to be accepted by her. I think she must be extremely difficult to film with or Tinsley of all of the housewives would be more sympathetic to her.  Tinsley is over her too. And I recall Tinsley being one of the HSWVS seeking validation early on from B.  It's almost like she could not care less now.

 them.

 I'm guessing Dennis has access to a private plane.  When Bethenney flew to Puerto Rico with Dorinda they were also on a private plane.

I agree that Tinsley seems to be over Bethenny. She has that WHATEVER attitude towards Bethenny now.

Skinny Girl Salad Dressings were on sale at Walmart for .98 ....I bought a few different ones to try them........they were very watered down and tasteless. One was tolerable.

I remember seeing Dorinda and Luanne smoke before, but never Carole. Was pretty surprised aby Carole smoking. Especially after running a marathon!!! They do seem to show Dorinda smoking more now , didn't see Luanne smoking though. Wonder who they will replace Carole with?? Should be interesting!

I could not believe Carole was smoking--ridiculous.  I've never seen Bethenny or Ramona smoke

Now Carole  knows she is being filmed and should assume people are going to wonder why she....an intelligent woman who is a runner and has a husband who died of cancer is smoking on TV.
