She revealed in the special that she never officially changed her name to D’Agostino. Lu is going to keep De Lesseps, presumably because her children have the same last name. And though she is no longer an actual Countess, she says that will always be part of her “brand.”

Her whole “joke” was that she was the richest homeless person in New York. Still a dumb thing to say, but she was being self aware.

I thought this part of the interview was even worse...

I still love the song, though.

I wanted to scream at the TV when she said voting wasn’t “her thing.”

I’m with you, but a vote is a vote. Obviously, a lot of people couldn’t even be bothered to do that.

Why? Carole campaigned door-to-door for Hillary Clinton in a swing state before the election. And afterwards, both her and Dorinda walked in the women’s march. Both of them are clearly political.

I was so mad that we spent alllllllll this time hearing about this house and watching it be constructed only to never actually see it finished on the show.

I know. I get that Tamra needs a storyline and that clearly she is at her breaking point with this situation, but this can only be pushing her daughter further away.

I heart Shannon. She’s so funny and I also appreciate how vulnerable (maybe too vulnerable at times) she is in front of the cameras. It’s been sad watching her this season, but I hope that she loses the weight before the reunion is filmed. Not that she needs to lose weight, but that clearly this has been hard on her.

I agree! Every time Vicki is on screen, all I can think of is the fact that she perpetuated a cancer scam for attention and wasn’t remotely sorry about it. There is no way I can ever see her redeem herself, and she is bringing the whole show down. She should have been fired just like Phaedra.

If Bridget Marquardt can get tickets for opening night, then I don’t see why other celebrities should have a problem.

That’s a bummer. I used to work for a movie theater chain where all credits cards were accepted, except for Discover.

I’m glad you had a good experience! I hope I didn’t sound too negative in my other post. I think I just hate being a bridal escort, lol.

Curious, did you get an employee escort at BBB? I work at the bridal department there and they are so freaking obsessed with getting you to convince the bridal couple to let you take them around the store (and add as much expensive shit as you can). And I really don’t like it. I feel like people know what they want on…

I always find it depressing when people say that you can finally “stop caring about what people think” and “live your own life” once you’re in your 50s/60s. Obviously, you get more wise with age, but I don’t want to have to wait that damn long to be happy.

I’m 100% sure he is mediocre, but I’m also 100% sure I’d sleep with him given the chance. He’s cute.

Reminds me of when Charlotte York scheduled two dates in one night and the guys found out and shared a cab together.

Vitamix is, like, top of the line. Definitely not 90% as good. Maybe 70.

Classic.
