Most fans of the show who follow theDaily Mailon Instagram (admit it, thats most of you!)
knew that Tinsley would beleaving halfway through the seasonto get engaged to her boyfriend Skott the Koupon King.
I was not expecting it to play out like this.
I mean, whats in Chicago?
This suddenly doesnt sound like such a bad place.
(Am I mixing sports metaphors?
I dont think that Denise is going to get the same treatment as Tinlsey.
I must admit that I question exactly how her last two scenes were filmed.
Some of the women arrive in costume, some dont.
The Countess says shes dressed as a cougar, but her skintight catsuit is actually covered in leopard spots.
We cant really complain about inconsistencies in her costume.
At least this one doesntuse blackface.
Tinsley tells them all that shes going to move to Chicago for the relationship.
The reaction isnt them wishing her the best.
The reaction is not them asking more questions about how she came to this decision.
The reaction is not even raising a half-hearted glass of tequila to her decision.
In a confessional Dorinda says Tinsley is making an ass out of all of us, running game.
But why does Dorinda care so much?
Why?Tell me, WhYyyYYYyYYYYYYyyYYyYyy.
Shes resentful because she feels like she is giving everything and Tinsley is not.
Shes mad that Ramona isnt cutting her in on the deal (need werevisitThe Hustle?!).
This is a fight not about time or inconvenience, this is a fight about the show.
However, Ramona couldnt be bothered to scrub the calendar for this good-bye.
Tinsley says she met him before, with Harry Dubin at the Regency.
Luann also knows him.
Seriously, are there like six eligible men on the UES and they all know each other?
New York is a city of 92 bajillion.
Leah stops by and says, I havent seen you in so long.
Would she say that because she hadnt seen her in a week?
I mean, I dont know, but I have my ideas.
(And honestly, I dont really care.
But like Dorinda, I just want them to be honest with us.)
I honestly got a little misty when Leah and Sonja were having a little confab with Tinsley and Dale.
I thought she was crazy for wanting to be the fairy tale and not the legend, Leah says.
But now I wish I had a fraction of her optimism.
Shes in fashion shows, shes working on her brand, shes being known again.
Well, sorry kiddo, but none of that is going to happen in Chicago.
None of that will happen without the show.
But maybe this is something great?
Maybe this is something romantic?
She says shes doing it for herself and no one else.
Dale gets teary because everything is changing.
What is she crying about?
What are they both talking about?
Is it about love?
Is it about fame?
Is it about the vast chasm of middle age and the ebbing tide of opportunities before us?
Maybe all of it.
Maybe none of it.
Maybe its just about frilly outfits for tiny dogs.
She has a large purse swung over her shoulder and the swagger of someone who is on the job.
Thanks so much for coming, the redhead says.
Absolutely, the woman replies enthusiastically.
She takes off the face mask she was wearing in the hallway and her words become slightly louder.
Where do you want me?
Ive never done this before.
Where do you usually do this?
The bedroom could work, but it might get a little messy.
We dont want to leave stains.
But then wed be really close together.
Ive never done it in the kitchen.
That works, the guest says.
They walk toward the kitchen, and the redhead points to a pile of bills.
Your moneys on the counter.
I already included a tip.
Thanks so much, the guest says, getting closer to her.
She quickly unfurls a cape and the redhead sits down in a chair.
The guest wraps the cape around her and asks her what she wants to do to her hair today.
