How You End Up

Dana charts her wild life and puts this season to bed.

Feb 14, 2012

For the record not a big fan of my make up for the reunion, but I loved my dress. . . will never tell you who it is though! I’m glad people got a bit of insight into my life. I left home at 15 and pretty much built myself up from there, so I guess I do get enamored by shiny objects and over-the-top money items. I hope my silly behavior doesn't make you forget that it doesn't matter where you start -- just how you end up. Some of you may have noticed my weight loss. I'm really proud about it. I can't wait to share with you how I did it over the next few months.

Not surprisingly Game Night pops its evil head up again. Honestly I'm sick of talking about it. My bottom line is I was trying to protect Kim and her children that night by downplaying her odd behavior, and Kyle and Kim know this. I'm so happy that she's doing well and that she and Kyle have come to a happy reconciliation. The rest was said at the reunion.

I feel kind of sorry for you, you obviously have low self esteem, and just want everyone to like you. Always trying to fit in with the popular girls, did you learn nothing in high school? popular is irrelevant in REAL GROWN UP LIFE!

Do you realize that even people WITH money DONT care how much you paid for anything?  Did you grow up in a trailer park and never had a thing and now you have to tell everyone how much you paid for something?  I have plenty of money, however when I brag to people I brag about how much I saved!! Not how much I spent for my new Bentley!!  Get it!!??

You must be so jealous of Brandi even though she doesn't have sunglasses that cost $25,000.00. She has class, style, brains, personality and humor.  All things you can't buy...obviously or you would have them.

The shows "housewives" have given rich people a bad name, it has shown so many rich people have no class and are anything but ladies. Most will not agree with me, but pointing at your glasses and stating how much they cost, was surprising but was so funny, come on those ladies flash their designer dresses, the expensive hotel homes, you instead of shoving your riches in what they consider to be a classy way, chose to be true, you deserve to be proud of yourself, you deserve to have women like me wish I had just the amount you paid for those glasses in my bank. You are great do not change, your fun and your real.

I believe Dana is starting up or already has her  own reality show in England. I think it is called Rich and Ditched. Don't know the status of it. Sounds like a show quite similar to this one...a bunch of rich ladies gathering together with Dana as the central persona. I guess she might be the Lisa of this show. I am sure she will want it to be sucessful and not be the groveling knee crawler she was on this show.

It would be interesting to check it out...if its not a rip off of this show.

Thank you Bravo, for not bringing Dana back.  I wasn't going to watch if she was on it.

Dana, I really appreciated your explanation of where you come from and that you made it on your own. Good for you! I wish you were a regular on the show. I really enjoy your personality.

Dana, I have to admitt that I couldn't STAND you with the, "Have you heard? $25,000", and your excuse on the reunion for your behavior was "SEE THROUGH" with the "I was rich AND poor" excuse.. NO sympathy here babe.....

 

What I DID see  about your character  was how committed you were about Taylor's abuse, I saw you in a different light!

 

Dana, you were sensitive, understanding and supportive and I wanted you to be a re-occuring figure on the show.. "IF MY GIRL SAID IT... IT HAPPENED"!!!!! I will always have a soft spot for you after that comment, and I'm very harsh on everyone..

Elsa50501 26 pts

 laylamoore_973 So, I agree that Dana has great character as far as her support for Taylor.  (Although Taylor gets on my nerves because of her personality and repeated poor decision making).  However, you can be a good person and still be boring to watch on TV.  Glad she's not back, but not for lack of character.

I just like you.  You have a wonderful sense of humor.  Your a friends friend.

So glad you are not back for another season.  You were not really in last season, you just blogged as if you were!

Dana .. You just follow the crowd. Do you even think for yourself? Just because others ( Taylor, Kyle, and Kim acted like complete childish idiots, did you have to follow the flow of stupidity?  I guess if Taylor jumped off a bridge you would to minus your head being as it is so far up her A**!

So glad you're not back this season.  Maybe Bravo does listen to the viewers.

So many incredibly hateful, rude comments posted here most likely keep you from reading them, but on the off chance that you do, I wanted an opportunity to express my loving thoughts! There have only been 2 episodes this season, (west coast time here!) and I really miss seeing you! I found you to be such a delightful, colorful, much needed addition to an otherwise rather uptight cast of characters! I'm hoping your life is full of all things good & wish you the absolute best in all of your endeavors! You're such a doll in my book with a personality that's delicious! Hope to see you sometime, somewhere!

Brandi is so much better than you. What are you even doing here? You have nothing of value to offer.

 Geeze that was a low blow. I like Brandi too but I don't think we ever got to see who the real Dana even is last season. I think she was so busy trying to fit in that she got lost in the shuffle of wannabes. I am sure she is a swell person.

Did you hear/see the GREAT News.... BRANDI is FULL TIME!!! Imagine that... We the Viewers are sooooooo happy Bravo made such a wise decision....

Dana, you come accross as the girl in school who just tried to hang with the popular girls.  Your dislike towards Brandi is for the one comment she made about your ex-partner.  You kind of put it out there saying he was away a lot!!  Yes she made a risque response. But, anyone truly confident about their relationship would have shrugged it off and made a like response back. Obviously, it hit a little deep as there was more going on behind the scenes and you were vunerable.  Not Brandi's fault, stop punishing her for having a sense of humor!!

I miss you... you clearly have the kindest heart of all!  So witty, funny, and kind.  Not everyone "got" you, but I did... I hope you'll make a cameo at the very least!   xoxo

You are pretty full of yourself with regards to your contributions to this show. Say goodbye Dana.

You did write a great blog. Love how nice you are to Kim, speaks volumes. Your only ugly side is attacking Brandi. Words to the wise---> watch your back with Kyle.

Well, the shoes said it all, dear. Tacky.

I think your makup was a little "Halloweenie"

Maybe its just me, but I am pretty sure Brandi was kidding....as everyone laughed afterwards....just sayin...

I think you should stay off the show and support your friend Taylor. You two are strange.

juka 359 pts

I think they should both stay off the show. No use for Taylor or Dana.

I'd like Brandi to come back.

Hope you dont come back for Season 3! You're just not 'Beverly Hills' enough for this show.

I'd like Brandi to come back.

I vote for Brandi!

Loved the shoes and you!

A good hostess makes ALL of her guests feel welcome. On game night, Brandi was treated poorly and made to feel uncomfortable. Also, is it because you didn't have money or now do have money that you feel bragging is acceptable?

Your shoes said it all. I hope you do not come back and I hope Brandi does.

This is a comment to ALL the house wives..quote, from, house wife on reality T.V.", "Most people who have money don't talk about it"...that's right! That's why your on the show..I say know more fake.

Maybe you should watch the infamous game night again. Did you not see how the Richards sisters were leaving Brandi out purposely? They came in there not liking her and started the tension. Brandi was just defending herself. As for the Ken situation, just because your "certain castmate" said she would like to "shag" him, doesn't mean she would ever act on it. Do you really think she would say it in front of Lisa if she was up to no good. Lisa is confidant enough in her marriage as well as her friendship with Brandi not to worry about something so trivial. You're good for some comedy relief every once and a while but you're not cut out to be a regular housewife.

I love how you and the other bitter cronies try to throw in these digs at Brandi. We all know Brandi would never do to anyone's husband what several women did to hers. She and Lisa have this great friendship and their sense of humor is amazing. Brandi was a guest...a guest that was attacked over and over in your house and you were too busy trying to connect with Kyle and Kim. Nothing to do with protecting Kim....just trying to find a place in their clique. Why on earth anyone would want to...I don't know. But I was embarrassed for you.

I want Brandi back...but you, Kyle, Kim and Taylor can go start a new reality show...Mean Girls over 40. Your shoes on last night's show was basically a statement for what the viewing public would like to say to you.

Love you - my new fav housewife.

I find it to be tacky when one has a great deal of money, then goes around talking about how much this or that cost.

I feel badly that so much of who you think you are is based on material things. I think from your statements you have much to be proud of. It's a shame you didn't click with the other ladies since you wanted it so much. I'm sure you will use the time to focus on your business making it very successful.

I think the few people who took time to comment said it all. You and Taylor are two peas in a pod. Take time to heal. TV may not be the best venue for you and your girl!

Dana, Your comments about growing up in Methuen Massachusetts and attending the worst schools in the country were highly insulting to all who have grown up in Methuen and attended school there. The school system graduates many students who go on to college and great careers. They dont need to have sugar daddys to make it in life. They dont need tons of money to make them feel important. Its obvious you didnt finish your education in Methuen Mass, you do not have the morals, values and qualities of those who have. Oh, if you havent figured it out, I raised three children in Methuen Massachusetts. While they dont have 25,000 dollar sunglasses, they do have a college degree and a sense of self worth. Not a Fan Get Rid of this one Bravo.
