I Couldn't Help But Wonder. . .

Carole ponders social media, truces, and Sonja's internship program.

Jul 2, 2012

Showdown at Bethesda Fountain: Redux

[Insert Carrie Bradshaw voiceover here.]

On an island of nearly 2 million people, I couldn't help but wonder. . .will we ever all get along?

From the looks of it, maybe not. Is Ramona upset that Heather wasn't upset or is Heather upset that Aviva said she was upset or is Aviva upset that Ramona told Heather that Heather was upset? And didn't I too say at that now infamous lunch that I thought Heather was upset that we talked behind her back about her talking too much in front of us? I'm losing track of who is upset and why.

Aviva wants an alliance with the cool girls. Hello, Vivs? I'm #coolcarole. Heath is #gangsterchic. #keepitstraight.

I think the difference between the oldies and the newbies can be summed up in this one scene. While @IamHeatherT and @avivadrescher had a disagreement over who was cool and who was not and who was going and who was staying behind, neither of them mentioned their shellacked three-week manicure or their pinot-filled hat.

You are fun, witty and one of my favs on the show Carole! I loved how you were annoyed by the ladies doing the fake accents in London. lol  I agree with you about Lu being a one upper.It was hilarious when you were purposely one upping her at dinner. You are great for the show!  xoxox

You are my newest guilty pleasure. You're the best thing to happen to BRAVO since Andy Cohen started using the word "plonk" on national TV. #iwanttobecarolewithane

A non judgemental reporter with common sense and a great interpretation of  just human nature of the ridiculous situations in life and on a reality tv series.  Love it   Everyone is right!!  Bravo is lucky to have you!!  Finally a genuine person and the entertainment can be achieved without the bad behavior and drama.  Thank you!!!  Hope you are around a long while!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh, I love your blogs! I just read all of them.  You are to RHONY what Jay Mohr was to RHONJ.  Thank you for fulfilling your contractual obligation with such wit and humor!!

Carole, you are the best!  I love how you take it all in stride.  You seem so amused by the whole scene!  You are as sharp as a tack!

Kindness is so rare these days. Everyone quick to judge. People putting others down, stupidly making snide remarks. Your blog says it all. It's nice to know that Ramona will be treated with kindness. Can you imagine how mean it would be to leave bunny with no ally?

First of all I have to say Bravo to Bravo I have no idea where RHONY is headed but Carole, you are a breath of fresh air and funny as hell...I'm LMAO reading your blog. RH has been my guilty pleasure from the beginning and I have watched all the seasons (much to the dismay and rolling eyes of my family) however, I never signed on to comment until now.

I do not tweet or follow twitter but I'm going to at least check out what you're saying. I love that your sister from Oregon no less called you out on your desire to be Mrs. Cruise #4...priceless. Girl, if you can handle that scientology stuff more power to you!

I read some of the other comments and I think it's funny that so many people were offended by your question regarding your dates political views because I just thought you were kidding. I have no doubt that a woman with your intelligence and common sense can have relationships/friendships with people of differing views...it's what makes conversation and life interesting. Remember everyone, these shows are cut to make even the mundane dramatic and to push buttons that's what keeps everyone watching.

I love that you don't take yourself too seriously, make fun of your contradictions and fashion choices.

The force is definitely with you... use it wisely and keep us laughing.

Please Republicans, stop posting, she was being humorous.   We Republicans use Liberals for our jokes all the time.   Lighten up you are embarassing.

veritas9 49 pts

you are pretty snarky. you like the drama, you watch the train wreck and make your contribution to it then walk away laughing. Princess sminshness. what do you have garden parties or do reach out to the people of Poland and work with them?

Cool girl? yeah they are always the ones who make fun of everyone else.   that is the title you live up to.

What's so nice about your blog is now I don't even have to watch the show and I can still get a good laugh at the cast. You're hysterical. And you should create a blog of your best tweets.

I love reading your blog, and I will be buying both of your books. Your take on the housewives is priceless, what a breath of fresh air! Thanks for the humor and taking these ladies with a grain of salt. Makes the rest of them seem quite high school!

I LOVED your republican comment!!!!!! My girlfriends and I always joke that a republican man is definitely a deal breaker!!! You are hilarious and very enjoyable to watch!!! Love you for the show!!! Hope you stay for many seasons!!! :)

UESGal 389 pts

@Lexie1910 Yea, you def don't want to date a Republican man, he may actually work for a living and be able to support his family. As opposed to sleeping in Zucotti Patk for three months, I suppose. The anti-republican comment was pretty fitting since it was coming from a "journalist". Biased much? Most people who call themselves journalists are extremely liberal and hate right-wingers. That is why the mainstream newspapers and channels are so completely biased and only tell one side of a story, missing many important facts. It's all to support the Democratic party and re-elect Obama.

 Ha Ha Ha. How about Obama? Is he a deal breaker? Ah, yea- I think so!!!

@debb594 I'm Republican and I wasn't offended!  She really didn't step on toes too much about her politics!  She is a writer .... give her a little leway!!  She still rocks in my book!

Thought that you were a nice addition to NYHW's then you slipped and showed how narrow minded you are about Republicans...    Really?   Kinda sad.  

 

MandaB9780 10 pts

@debb594 Or how narrow-minded Republicans are about others having their own opinions...

psara 14 pts

@MandaB9780 Except having disdain for a large group of people who are different in some way isn't an "opinion", it's basically a prejudice.

Sonc 329 pts

 debb594 I don't think she "slipped" up on anything. her political views, just like yours and mine, are her OWN. get ovah it!

LMAO, WTF Bravo?  Where have you been hiding this gem of a woman?  #hilarious #trueNYCgal

 

@tomcar, don't forget when you #stealmillsaps to teach her to use a bedazzler, as well as the label maker.  Perhaps you and she can start up a #tackybedazzledtanktop line for the ladies of RHOC, maybe even some new shoes for the ladies of RHOBH?

So glad you're on the show this season... everyone else is hard to watch, but you are so sly and clever. You avoid the messiness of all the drama without ever being dull. Great combination!

christyo7269 8 pts

Even though we outwardly have nothing in common, I relate to you completely!  Love your casual attitude and your ability to not take yourself so seriously.  Being a writer, your "people watching" and skills of observation are phenomenal.  Your comments are intelligent and dead-on!  My favorite housewife of all time!!!!

 

bthebestyou 108 pts

Can't get enough of you. You are so non chalant with everything, elegant, you need to teach these ladies a thing or 2 on class.

You are def the breath of fresh air on this team and it's nice that I can watch the others over-drama it out with each other and then get a witty little 2 min with your life.

Much better mix of people in this bunch, whether Ramona digs it or not, we are all diggin your vinyl record lifestyle! :)

NeutronBomb 752 pts

What can I say, you are a TRUE writer. You speak so articulately and witty on paper, but in real-life you are aloof and shy. I should know, I dated a Writer!

TheDishisGood 184 pts

You are the best Housewife of any show. You are bright, witty, without being condescending. Loved your line "are you a republican"?  It is exactly what I would have said. Thank you so much for not being a mean girl and showing what true girl power is all about!
