What did we think of the re-introduction of Carole this week??
I just did NOT get that whole thing she was doing in her car. I get the concept of moving for the street cleaners, but exactly why is there a need to hang out in her car for two hours?
That I didn’t get. Does she not have a home? Are there not coffee shops in NYC where she can ‘work?’ And what work was she doing exactly? Talking to her editor for five seconds?
I can’t fathom she has like anything in common with these ladies that she is old enough to be her their mothers, but I’m ready to find out.
Plus, there’s this I thought of: She has NO patience for ditzy bitches, and I’m pretty sure this entire cast can definitely be considered pretty fucking ditzy. It’s not normal that you have every cast member of a franchise an airhead, but this would be one.
Carole worked for ABC news, you know, in 1992. I was wondering how long it was going to take her to either drop that, or that her late husband was JFK Jr’s cousin (Their moms are sisters. Or were sisters. How ever you say that when they’re all deceased.)
Turns out it was the Kennedy connection that was first thing she brought up, not her journalist career. From 30 years ago. More on that later.
I feel like because she’s around all of these much younger women, she’s trying way too hard to come off as cool and hip. I’m not saying she’s not, but she shouldn’t have to try this hard.
My Weekly Fashion Police Moment: What on EARTH was she thinking with that Flintstones dress she’s wearing for her intro? The shoes are even terrible. Are those cankles? She couldn’t find a half hour in her ‘busy’ day to get a spray tan?? I’m not loving the hair either. Sorry Carole.
Erika drops by – to the car on the street. Can you imagine? “Hey meet me in my car along the road for coffee, when it’s 30 degrees out.”
Erika basically love bombs her to death, and reassures her that she’s cool and wants to be like her when she’s ‘older.’
Wow that was brutal.
Nice try Erika, but there is NO WAY that you want to be in your 60’s, dating 30 year old guys on Raya, and sitting along the road for no reason whatsoever in a 25 year-old Jeep. Sorry. I don’t buy it.
Supposedly a lot of them know each other through Martha? Is this even legit? Is this some sort of soft-launch of Martha as a Housewife?
Seems like we are going to be seeing a lot more of her. I didn’t even know she lived in NYC. She’ll for sure get the prize for being the oldest Housewife. Move over Vicki and Ramona!
Carole talks about some street sweeping ritual where you sit in your car for free along the road, then move it when they come through? Then move back.
So Carole’s book that she wrote (was it a ghost writer or wasn’t it?? do you remember all of that?) twenty years ago about her marriage to the late Anthony Radziwill, now has gained popularity and made the NYT Best Seller list, due of course to the publicity and attention around JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette from this stupid TV series. People are watching it that didn’t even know it happened, or who JRK Jr was. So a whole new generation has taken an interest n her book.
Is she played in the series I was wondering? I guess not or she would surely point that out.
She went on some Raya dates with guys that auditioned for the part of her husband in the series, which I found strange because how young are these guys if they’re playing him in the 90’s? I’m assuming her attraction to much younger guys is still a thing.
No, you CAN’T make that shit up. That’s MY line, Carole.

Erin and Tom Hanks’ bougie Hamptons house was flooded due to a bursting pipe. That would definitely qualify as rich people problems.
I was wondering, do they not keep the heat on during the winter? Why else would the pipe burst? I can see Erin being dumb enough to turn the heat off to save a few dollars.
Erin is way too extra in citing pictures and momentos are ‘ruined and gone’ that she’s holding in her fucking hands.
The kids’ size chart on the wall? Also fine. Take a picture of it and have it framed.
People that HAVE actually lost their homes due to flooding or fires probably wanted to throw a brick at the TV during this scene.
I mean, yeah, it’s definitely bad. The basement is the worst. Pipes bursting is no joke. Yeah sorry Erin. Maybe keep heat on this winter.
Tom Hanks looks really thin and gaunt for some reason.
******
Okay so a lot to unpack in this scene of Erika teaching her cardio-boxing class with a topless Daisy and a stoned 82-pound Hailey participating. I would be worried she’s going to break a bone. Erika was right about them needing to sign a waiver. And they look like complete idiots.
Did NOT realize Hailey was this thin last week. I guess her kitchen full of protein bars and energy drinks was no joke.
Did you hear her saying at Jessel’s event she didn’t eat all day? This is not at all good.
I guess like NONE of these bitches work out. Daisy is shushing Hailey bitching that she can’t see. Maybe that’s because you have sunglasses on idiot.
Daisy what are you wearing? Who works out in a fucking bra? Not a sports bra. She’s wearing a literal BRA with a cropped fucking sweatshirt thing, which looks hot and uncomfortable but she can’t take it off because she’s wearing a FUCKING BRA. Is this broad okay? It’s making my boobs hurt just thinking about jumping around like that in a regular bra.
See what I mean how they’re all ditz balls and Carole is going to be losing her shit? Perhaps Erika will not fall into this category. But she is the ONLY one. She seems to have done well for herself with her boxing/working out business. The rest of them can barely get themselves out of bed.
They both look like they’ve never exercised in their life.
That was really really sad. Second episode of Daisy running around without a top on. At 44.
They convene for a chat. Daisy invites them to a brunch for Sai who you know again, is ‘going through a hard time.’ We can’t say why though!
Of course they know it’s her marriage, like fucking duhUHH.
However, Bravo insists on having them acting like it’s this fucking intel that cannot be discussed, only eluded to.
Who even cares really. They all split up from their husbands at some point. Yawn.
It’s more of a major event when they return for a new season and they’re NOT separated, actually.
I could have sworn I read in February when this all went down that HE wanted the divorce and threw her ass out. Love the spin that she’s putting on. I’ll see if I can find the article.
Daisy remains vague as to why we’re surprising Sai with a brunch. They agree to participate. Carole will also be in attendance.
I kind of feel like Carole is the Vicki of New York City.
I see we’re ganging up on Erin again when she really isn’t deserving of it. Are her yaps a little boring? Does she have trouble being funny? Sure. But she HAS a sense of humor, and she’s not a horrible person. She means well.
She thought she was showing she was open-minded and fun by laughing at the nose breakage with a boob (IS that story even real? It can’t be, but I’m playing along) and asking Hailey’s date if she was the one. Hailey’s being pissy about it because the chick got jealous and mad at her.
Now she’s like ‘OMG Erin’s SO vindictive!!’ Okay woman. Calm down. Is it Erin’s fault that you’re seeing some psycho that got insanely jealous, and went all through your phone? Yeah, no, it’s NOT.
Also Erin never said it ‘just happened.’
In her yaps she shades Erin for living such a boring life that she HAD to stir the pot. This is not a ‘stirring the pot’ type of situation. She thought this might be the girl. And how was Erin to know this was some sort of steady girlfriend with her??
It’s so dumb they’re picking on Erin. She readily admitted her life is boring, and she’s fascinated by Hailey’s free-spirited unconventional existence.
In comparison to Hailey, all their lives are boring. They all have kids, houses, and jobs. With the exception of Carole, who gets off on moving her car for the street cleaners, and moving it back again. I mean really. So what if someone is fascinated with your life? Isn’t that what she wants? She seems to thrive on the attention.
******
Ohhh the Daisy and Eugene dynamic.
Eugene is very Type A, and Daisy is very Type Whatever.
With the way she talks about him being ‘boring’ constantly (maybe he and Erin should get together) I get the feeling she’s doing the new Housewife trend of coming on the show to get her own cash stash, so she can ditch the husband.
Seems like he’s doing most of the child-rearing, so she should be glad he’s ‘boring.’ I would have loved for my husband to be boring instead of the town man-whore.
I also think Daisy’s a little bit of an alcoholic.
******
And it’s brunch time.
Daisy demands that the maitre d open the champagne before everyone arrives so she can ‘get a buzz.’
Erin arrives and she is COMMITTED to this men’s shirt look this season. Not sure why Daisy is fawning all over this outfit. Pretty sure she’s already drunk. Erin must’ve heard me complaining. She has a lace cami on underneath it, instead of displaying her really wrecked boobs.
They discuss how no one knows WHAT is going on, and Sai doesn’t even know about the gathering. But she somehow still shows up. OhmiGod this needs to stop.
Her husband dumped her. Next?? I did look up the Page Six article from April. David is the one that filed. So again, Sai is lying about her lies. He wanted the divorce, not her.
Erin your house is NOT gone. Does it need some extreme repair? Yes. But a burst pipe is NOT a natural disaster. You’re going to be fine. Comparing it to Hurricane Katrina is just wrong and she shouldn’t be doing that. So tone deaf.
So they all yell ‘SURPRISE!’ at Sai when she arrives because they’re ‘celebrating’ her, but no one knows why. Wink wink.
Carole arrives not knowing what’s going on, and muttering how much she hates champagne and brunch.
Sai pretends she doesn’t know either. This needs to be the last episode of this BS.
Daisy brags about some extremely flirty texts with her kid’s tutor. I’m sure Eugene was super-thrilled with this. Which is I guess why she did it, if my theory is true.
Daisy plays dumb, as if she has no idea this is wrong.
As she’s showing off and reading their texts aloud, she accidentally hits record.
Erin makes a toast to Sai going through ‘something’ mainly to get in stupid digs at Jessel, as Jessel did to her. Why would Erin make a speech? She didn’t even organize the get-together.
Actually I could’ve kept hearing about Daisy and the tutor’s texts and been happy and entertained. That shit is hilarious.
Erin and Jessel bicker AGAIN about what Erin said about her on the stupid UGT, which exists to give them something to fight about.
She didn’t even call her a snake, she called her FAKE.
And she is. She’s shallow, she’s fake, she name-drops, she’s overly worried about her image… All of it is true.
If Carole is the NY Vicki, Jessel is the NY Lisa Barlow.
Speaking of Carole, she’s earning her check by participating in the Erin gang-up and points out Erin gossiped about Jessel to her as well.
Her assessments are true so who cares.
I totally believe Jessel treated this dermatologist guy crappy until she learned he was a doctor. The clip they roll isn’t really indicative of that, but sorry I believe Erin. It’s completely on brand for Jessel.
And a dude wouldn’t normally make shit like that up. They make up other shit, don’t get me wrong, but not that someone was dismissive of them.
Erin was trying to prove her point as to why she called Jessel thirsty and fake, and give a perfect example, and it seems to be going over everyone’s head.
I hate when we continue to argue, when a Housewife admits they shouldn’t have said or did something and she’s sorry.
Granted she starts complaining about her again five minutes later, but she’s RIGHT.
Do you remember that scene in Season 1 of her wanting to get her twins into some elite preschool that celebs had their kids in. She was dropping a few names. And that’s the ONLY reason she wanted them in it? She divulged the cost to Pavit and he’s like ‘hell to the no, I can’t pay that! Are you nuts?’ I paraphrased but something like that.
Now that’s a fucking shallow-ass poser and clout chaser. No wonder she and Sai are getting along so well.
Now Hailey bitches at her for the nose-breaking comment to her lady friend.
Why are they drinking champagne out of wine glasses?? Not to be Dorit, but that bugs me. What kind of place IS this?
Daisy brings up Love Story to Carole (Was it really though? From what I understand, he treated her so crappy.)
Of course she doesn’t need her arm twisted to discuss JFK Jr, the cousin of her late husband who passed away 25 years ago.
Do these dumb asses not get that she and Carolyn were actual friends? These questions are so inappropriate.
“Was she a bitch?” Why would Jessel ask that?
She then inquires if she’s watching the show. No Jessel, she’s not a fucking fan girl. These were friends and family, and people she knew.
And then as far as this fashion thing, I heard Carole say in an interview about the series, that Carolyn wasn’t really that ‘into fashion.’ Please. She worked for Calvin Klein.
It might have been that same interview, where it was said that the only reason she dressed so ‘minimal’ was to not be photographed constantly. She thought if she wore the same basic black and white constantly, the paps would stop taking photos because they would all look alike. It was kind of smart.
I doubt if it worked, but it was a nice try. You could definitely tell she was into fashion. She knew not to wear gaudy labels, over accessorize, and to own high quality neutral staple pieces. That is someone that understands fashion. You shouldn’t have to try too hard, and you shouldn’t look like you tried too hard.
Sai, Erin and Jessel should really pay attention.
Erin in that horrible yap look of the men’s shirt with plunging neckline, weird-ass cheap-looking necklace, and hair tucked into her shirt. It’s too many overly-trendy looks at once. She needed to pick one. Carolyn Bessette would never.
ANYWAY I’m rambling. I told you Carole would be annoyed AF at these ding dongs. She’s getting super weirded out by Jessel carrying on about Carolyn’s style.
BUT, I also don’t get why Carole would have a problem with it. Why would it annoy you?
If people want to dress like her, who cares. Imitation is NOT a bad thing.
I might have to agree with Jessel on that.
If she were MY friend, I would think I love that people are emulating her. Carole acts like she has some sort of ownership over being the only one that can know about her. I feel like the surviving sister would be like ‘yeah she totally loved clothes.’
Jessel needed to know when to drop the whole ‘Carolyn Bessette summer’ thing. It was getting annoying.
And THEN to talk about the infamous ‘Kennedy curse?’ What IS she thinking.
This had to be on purpose. She can’t be that fucking dumb.
Carole excuses herself and Jessel seems completely oblivious.
I get Carole’s frustration, but if I were 60-something around a bunch of 30 – 40 year old’s, I don’t think I would say I need a nap.
So it’s a Burlesque Brunch. I had no idea. So New York.
It is bad timing for Erin to be shit-talking Jessel so soon after the apology but she deserves it. Her comments to Carole were distasteful and proves Erin’s point. I totally believe the dermatologist story.
