Poor Sonja is not going to get what she wanted, or apparently much of anything, in the divorce. When I look at Sonja crying in her house, all I can think is yard sale. Take all those dresses to a consignment shop. Put some of those dust collecting tchotchkes on Ebay. Sell a few paintings. Clearly the toaster oven market is in a slump, Sonja! Think outside the toaster oven box! Luann was called in to hold her hand as she put a couple paintings in storage (read hides them from the property inventory) and the art woman (who is usually there to SELL paintings not store them) tried to paint the picture as a new beginning. Luann’s helpful comment? “It looks really empty in this room now.” The irony that Luann hawks an etiquette book is lost on no one by now.

I love that Heather (And Aviva) both have charities that they are passionate about. Most of the time the housewives just seem to “do charity work” by going to luncheons and writing the occasional check. Continue reading »

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… Continue reading »

There really wasn’t much to discuss about last night’s episode of RHONY. To me it seemed like one long hour of Ramona and Sonja screeching about it being “a girls trip” and the others, most vocally Aviva countering with, “No it isn’t! We came to see Russ and go to his concert!” This continued ad nauseum with very few interesting moments interspersed. So it’s no surprise that the blogs from the housewives are pretty short. Luann and Ramona in particular don’t have anything to say they didn’t say last week.

Heather’s blog does explain why she got so upset about the “couples dinner.”  It seems like if you read between the lines a bit, it was a combination of two things, first she came on the trip to hang out with Carole and Aviva as her inner circle in the three ring circus the trip became. Those two going to dinner without her left her with Ramona and Sonja with only Luann as a buffer. Also, when Carole and Aviva were getting fish pedicures during lunch they had already abandoned her once, despite the good reason for the separation. I could see being a bit pissed if I was left with Ramonja and the countess for lunch when the two people I liked the best were off giggling about fish nibbling their toes. The whole paragraph about how difficult it is for her to get away was ridiculous. Once you get to the island, you enjoy the island and it’s not necessary to be attached at the hip with your travel companions the entire time. I think she figured that out when she got away to the beach. Once again this week, Heather seems to be leaving the door open a crack to get along with Ramona. Sometimes I think placating Ramona must be in the RHONY contract. Someone should ask Jill Zarin about that.

Here’s Sonja on her girls’ trip to St. Barts

I’m flipping back and forth between RHONY and the finale of Bachelor Pad and I think Bachelor Pad is the saner option. Really two grown women can’t handle two other women going to dinner with their spouses? Is this really all that happened on this trip?

Wow, even Heather is pissed about the “couples dinner.” I just don’t get it! It’s not like the other FOUR women are going to have to…god forbid… go to dinner alone. There are four of them! I don’t get why this is an issue at all!

Um, Aviva…have you ever been on a girls’ trip? Bringing home random guys happens quite frequently on such trips. So I’ve heard. I love how Sonja with a j is making plans to hook up with the help one minute and then insisting to Aviva that her husband is ruining the girl vibe.  The hot chef guy seems to take the huge catfight all in stride and doesn’t let it interfere with his screen time.

Aviva says Sonja is like Anna Nicole Smith! That’s pretty classic. How old was her husband exactly?  Really? Are we going back to the Luann wants a baby storyline next week? /sigh
