I’m flustered at the moment over something that happened just prior to the show starting, so I seem to have missed the set up of why The Countess is in the kitchen. Has she ever cooked in her life? Oh wait, no, she is already ditching with Ramonja. I do not understand this ridiculous hair band shit that Sonja and others are wearing on national TV. It’s hideous. Just STOP IT! I don’t understand what the set up for this whole scene was, can someone explain it to me? Real Men Cook? is that a product promo for something? It seemed like an unnecessary ad.
Toast! (That’s my drinking word for tonight, sorry if this post gets incoherent before the end). So what if Aviva needs to be with Reid at all times? Aviva has safety issues, and rightly so, what the hell is it to you Ramonja? Let’s move on to the Countess being a whore! Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Carole and Heather…I love them both, but shots are for the young. Heather, be more patient with Aviva. Heather and Carole are adult woman drunk, not Ramonja drunk. This is how grown women act drunk. Complete with professions of love and drunken kisses. They are perfection.
Luann is insane. Bravo tried the Ramona is pregnant last season, didn’t the Countess point out that they were all menopausal that season? Yet we are going to take out her egg this season? Seriously? “I’m opening a funeral home! I love to embalm people!” Is more believable.
Ah, my three girls, Aviva, Heather, and Carole. Oh Carole, analyzing is what we do, darling, we’re anxious and paranoid. But Aviva, enough with the husband crap. It’s no better or worse than Ramonja. They are inseparable too. They seem to be trying to get Aviva to reconcile with Sonja but those two can’t even be in the same room to this day. Aviva, it’s fine with me to call Sonja cheesy and low-class because she is. But for the love of God, girlfriend, enough with the ax-grinding. Heather is right on that one. Don’t alienate yourself from these two! They are allies!
At some point in the filming the “veterans allegedly refused to keep filming with the newbies” I am starting to think it was just Ramonja not wanting to film with Aviva.
Oh look Ramonja are in bed again. Does Sonja have fifth disease? What is wrong with her face?
Oh God, I can tell already Aviva is going to come at Sonja from a place of condescension. Oh Aviva, don’t blame shift, just apologize for calling her white trash. BTW, white trash does not mean moral failure. I know you have a Vassar education, but I need to bring you down here to explain some things to you. You ar not helping yourself. White trash ain’t about morals. Come down here and let me teach you the ways of white trash people. 
Oh Aviva, aren’t you a bona fide Jew unlike Heather who is only Jewish by injection? Why didn’t Andy Cohen try to help you out here? He managed to make Jill Zarin look great for several seasons but you are hung out to dry already. I have to ask myself why? Did you give them nothing positive to work with? I get it Aviva, Sonja is a drunken mess. But this is not helping her, or our perception of you. Sonja came out of that looking like the winner. Sorry. You know I love you.
So what did y’all think?
I happen to think Aviva is an exceptionally attractive woman. Some people have features that society would classify as pretty or beautiful, but this doesn’t necessarily mean their attractive. Aviva’s overall fashion sense, mannerism, hair, body, and personality make her an attractive woman.
pretty is as pretty does, my mama used to say
I noticed again that bravo is using heavily filtered cameras on aviva….particularly the lunch with sonja…notice the diff between the two….wonder just how horrific she looks without the added help
@LM…I think she said moral failure…either way she is trying to backtrack without actually apologizing for her deplorable behavior…………again
hey! stop being an asshole. She’s fine and gorgeous.She really is stunning,.
#you are welcome to your own opinion and I still love you but I am team AVIVA all day.
whoa … relax…. i was just responding to @LM…. I didn’t call anybody white trash or anything
I had a dream last night that the guy who cuts my yard showed up at my door all dressed up with his girlfriend. He stopped by to give me some pink cigarettes he bought for me. Clearly too much wine last night.
You can have each other. What a tool.
Yeah… a Hammer. Much respect.
C’mon–ya’ll know that Aviva has been teased and alienated her whole life for not only being an amputee and different (children can be so cruel); but let’s face it… she’s not that pretty (in traditional terms of “prettiness”). That being said, she is likely being a little over zealous about Sonja and Ramona and their Gang of 2 mentality in order to compensate for the fact that she is still the different girl who isn’t so pretty. Aviva, unlike Sonja or Ramona, was born into money. She’s had it her whole life. So, she comes off more polished than do the White Trash Twins. On top of that, Aviva has a world class education and a law degree. Sonja was a hostess at a popular restaurant and flirted with John Morgan, a man old enough to be her father, and put it on him–made him want to marry her (that’s for you, Boss Bitch). Now that he’s dropped her like a used condom (that was nasty), she’s flailing about on the Upper East Side; noticeably out of her element. Ramona comes from a working class family–but she admits that her father was an abusive man who mistreated her mother (envision white wife beater and Pabst beer). Ramona made a life for herself and her family and pulled herself up out of the trailer park; figuratively. So, when Aviva says they are White Trash, she’s right. When Aviva called them morally inept, she was right. I, personally loved the insult! Nowadays, “bitch” carries no weight and the sting of being called “White Trash” to these two social climbers by someone who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth seems to have done the trick! Kudos Aviva! You’re my kind of lady!
L.M., you are dead on it! Everything you just typed is so true it kinda gives me the chills. I can tell you’re good at reading people—even through the TV—wow! Very impressive.
Thanks for the recap. I don’t actually feel like watching this week!
Aviva seems to have selective memory. When Heather was going through the craziness with trying to help Sonja’s ungrateful ass and dealing with Ramona’s interfering loud mouth, Aviva couldn’t find it in her heart to stand up for Heather. Aviva didn’t sympathize with Heather one bit. As a matter of fact; she tore into Heather and said that Heather words about Ramona (called her Crazy) were defense-less Fast forward last night, Heather was simply fed up with Aviva talking about Ramona and Sonja and for some reason Aviva couldn’t fathom why. It’s as if Aviva has forgotten how she turned her back on Heather. I don’t get her. Anyway next week Aviva’s nasty Daddy will lay hands on Ramona. Can’t wait to see Aviva’s reaction to the chaos.
Pink cigarettes are Nat Sherman. You can purchase a box at any tobacco store.
Read & you make up your mind, Contact BRAVO if you are as pissed as I am…..From WillLove:
Andy Cohen does play a role in the editing process. He has said so directly in interviews. With that said, overall @yourfriendkitty and @carolineself have the most editing power. They are the executive producers of Season 3 and Season 4 of #RHONJ. They work on location and off location. They send the editors what footage to use as well as tell them what to keep in and what to cut out. @carolineself is tight with the Manzos while @yourfriendkitty is tight with the Gorgas and Wakiles. Cat edited @PDKhair as well as multiple ex-coworkers of Melissa’s, who were present at the salon and fashion show, completely out of the two-part finale. Their interactions made the Angelo incident look g-rated.
Obviously that move was deliberate. Furthermore, Cat held Penny back from defending Kim when Joe Gorga called Kim a drug addict, a cunt and went to punch her. Even worse, as you will see in the finale, Cat completely butchered the conversation Angelo had with a friend at the bar to make it appear as though Teresa masterminded everything. The unprofessionalism of Cat Rodriguez and Caroline Self is disgusting. In this economy, why are these the type of people who have employment? Only a network like @BravoTV would believe that their viewers are so incompetent that they wouldn’t see past the blatant bias.
Edited because this commenter wanted to share this tweet from @willLoveInc which she apparently lifted from another blog, so I had to delete all of that blogger’s crap. In addition this post is about RHONY. But apparently the commenter is so worked up on Tre’s behalf she didn’t notice where she was posting stuff from other blogs. In the future, please discuss posts at other blogs ON THAT BLOG. Please and Thank You.
Whoa…. First of all, how dare you say “Caroline Self” is disgusting… She is doing her JOB, and a great one at that. I happen to know her for 20+ years, now. She is a fine, upstanding human being. Just because you don’t like the way that a certain show airs, don’t start character bashing. Be glad that you have people, like her, making shows that give you something to bitch about!
Hi Tamara,
Can you explain to me why does Aviva think she is so entitled? She said when people are angry (not crazy or “freaking out”) they say things that are acceptable. So why does this same rule not apply to Sonja and Ramona for “being angry” and saying that they wanted just a girls trip, and that once her husband got her to the island, he could leave. I feel if it is good for the goose, it is good for the gander. If she can call them white trash, because it just “slipped out”, then they sure as hell can say “Reid go stay in a hotel”. Sorry, but you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Ouch, great post Tamara…
Aviva is sooo damn needy,
getting to where I’ll be muting
her – a’la Jax…
5 minutes into the show hubby

saw A’s meetings at the end…
On Demand tomorrow…
Starting to agree that crazy A

Yeah. White trash being about morality is up there with Caromuzzy’s “off the boat” comment.
Haven’t finished the episode. But Sonja’s Gilligan shirt is cracking me up.
I want a pink cigarette! Where do I get those?
