It seems odd to me that this season is 19 episodes long. Not 18, 20 or 22 but 19. But tonight is indeed the finale.
It’s the day after Sonja’s fashion show. Bethenny and Ramona are all over the NYC gossip sites for fighting on the front row of the fashion show during the long intermission. Ramona and Sonja go out again to celebrate.
Bethenny is moving in to her new apartment. She is going to be one of those people that makes people take their shoes off before walking in her home. The place is smaller than the last place but still huge and beautiful. It has a great balcony. Bethenny seems happy with it. Bethenny makes a series of jokes about Carole dating a child. It really isn’t funny. Carole points out that Luann is dating much younger men as well and is still shit talking Carole over the Adam situation. Bethenny says she doesn’t have the energy to be mad at Bethenny and in the same breath she says that she may unleash her fury at Ramona at her stupid “new beginnings” party.
Dorinda goes to lunch with John. She wears a leather ensemble that is backless. And um, sideless. Oh wait there is a lot of illusion mesh involved that is all wrinkly once she sits down. I doesn’t scream UES as much as “old lady trying too hard” to me, but what do I know? I’m still grieving the extinction of the scrunchie. I mean sure you can still find some, but ever since that damn Sex & The City episode, demand plummeted and so did the quality of the scrunchie. Shut up.
Dorinda does all of the ordering and John just goes along with it. I get the feeling that despite them saying that they have been together three years, that this relationship is more like Nene and the Pizza Guy. She got some shoes and a small interest in a pizza shop for a year or whatever and the relationship ended with the season. John got free publicity for his dry cleaners in exchange for being made a fool of for a season. Contract fulfilled. For this reason, I don’t believe anything I this scene, so no need to recap it.
It’s time for Ramona’s “new beginnings” party. I think the girls are kind of hard on her. Sure she may have had several new beginnings before, but for the love of God, she is divorcing a guy after a couple decades of marriage. It really is a new beginning for her this time.
Sonja shows up pissed at Kristen because she made a jab to the press about Sonja and her lack of toaster oven. Bethenny is being snotty about even going to the party. Ramona starts apologizing to Bethenny from the moment she arrives. Bethenny seems to think that Ramona’s “new beginnings” are about THEIR relationship because everything is about Bethenny in Bethenny’s world. The new beginnings are about Ramona being single after a very long marriage. Get over yourself, Bethenny. She’s just pissed there is no Skinny Girl infomercial at the final party.
Carole is at the party with Adam and Luann manages to scrounge up a date. Luann is pissed with Carole STILL for dating Adam even though they’ve been together for months and are still seeing each other last I heard. Oh, Luann’s date is gay. NTTAWWT.
Back to Bethenny being a bitch to Ramona at her own party. She’s practically screaming at her that “everyone is going through a lot” as if to belittle what she is going through. Bethenny is going through a divorce too but it seems to be a much more financial experience in comparison to Ramona’s loss of a partner of decades who was likely the financial stability in the relationship. Bethenny seems to be craving airtime. Ramona asks Bethenny to just lay off her for an hour. Bethenny’s response is “you reap what you sow.” Yes, Bethenny you do. You most certainly do.
Bethenny must be ready move around and drink, so she finally accepts Ramona’s apology. But Sonja jumps in to bitch about Kristen.
I’m not one to notice other chicks boobs. I had teacher friend once who got a boob job during a break and it was apparently a big one and I noticed while bored in a faculty meeting the following year. Somehow I managed to miss the gossip at the time. But, Luann’s boobs look fabulous at this party and unless she is wearing a t-back bra, there is nothing much holding them up. That’s kind of impressive for her age. Did she get a new lift?
Luann goes to up to the Heather, Carole, Kristen group to let them know that Sonja is pissed with Kristen for trash talking her fashion show. It’s like these women don’t know how the press can misconstrue things for a better story. Luann is a giant shit stirrer. She sends Kristen after Sonja. Sonja is fucked up. Meanwhile, somewhere, Mike Shouhed is shitfaced. They play the actual interview with Kristen and the NY Post reporter. He asks her specifically about the stupid toaster oven and she sweetly says she wishes she would come out with a toaster oven because she uses hers every day. Kristen really gets the shit end of the stick from these girls and most of the viewers. It’s really not fair. Even the :40 mark is a scene with Kristen’s HUSBAND mocking her on camera. What a dick.
Time for Luann and Carole to fight. Carole says that Luann is lying about Carole saying that she tried to stop Heather from storming her bedroom in Turks and Caicos. Luann says that there could have been a guy in her room. Carole refuses to admit that barging into Luann’s bedroom with a camera crew is wrong. Luann threw out a barb about Carole not having kids that seemed to stick.
Somehow, Heather and Bethenny are fighting. It seems to be their drunken default. Ditto Sonja and Kristen.
Ramona wants to give a toast. The Countess, who has a book on etiquette starts banging the fuck out of her glass with a ring. The potential for breaking the glass not withstanding, it’s tres gauche to bang on a wine glass with ANYTHING prior to a toast. They were clearly not drinking out of crystal because Ramona banged the living shit out of everyone’s glasses and nothing broke. At least not that we saw. Bethenny is a cunt to Ramona several more times. The end notes were not worth recapping other than to say that Ramona’s divorce is still not final and they made a jab about Sonja designing for her Nigerian football team. Oh wait! Bethenny and Carole went on a cruise to the Galapagos Islands together. That’s interesting. And kind of fancy pants. I’ve sort of wanted to do that before I found out how complicated it is to go there.
I didn’t get to watch tonight so thanks for the great recap as usual. #RIPScrunchie. Actually, uh, I think the bulk of them are in my bathroom 🙂 #DontJudgeMe
Xanadude’s quick hits:
During Ramona and Sonja’s convo, notice Ramona’s egotistically hijack: “I was the first to stand up,” “Everyone’s attacking ME”
During her talking heads, Ramona’s right eye went wonky-subtle tribute/shade to Andy, or too much glue on her five pound fake eyelashes?
While shading Ramona’s New BS party as a masquerade party, Sonja’s stalled air quotes – her hands went up to make them, but stalled in a Nixonian peace sign
I dig Bethenny’s black and white pants in the apartment scene, by the way
Ramona: Spewing Platitutes Does Not Equal Spiritual Growth
Ramona is the real life embodiment of a Kristen Wiig caricature
Even Ramona’s bidness partnah couldn’t keep a straight face when she announced her New BS party
Bethenny’s recoil at the kiss from Ramona’s friend was a thing of beauty
Of course Ramona and Sonja don’t know who Thomas Roberts is. If it’s not in the Post or Latina Weekly, it’s not news!
LuAnn’s statement necklance/weapon of the week was confiscated by Thomas Roberts before the party.
The Old Ramona would NEVER apologize. The New Ramona apologizes but doesn’t understand the concept.
Bethenny’s vagina is a “dry county?” Cue the B-52s song!
Ramona can’t even get her insult age correct (6 vs 4).
When Carole isn’t stoned she is FORMIDABLE! I loved that she called out LuAnn.
Sonja Morgan IS the Incredible Sulk. Don’t her angry! You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.
Kristen really bloomed the second half of the season. She really held her own with the big girls. Good for her.
Time for a commercial break: Katie Holmes for Regenerist. Ooooooo! Good one! and Amy Sedaris is on ABC Family now? Come on. That’s gold!
Our Countess is rapidly becoming unlikable.
Sonja’s world view is divided into four categories: Intern. Press. Person she’d like to fuck. Person who facilitates getting her someone to fuck.
Pop of Color has a color called Ramona Blue? No, it’s Sonja Blew. Please.
The world is full of Purple Clowns.
This! And bet Ramona never wrote that check.

Last Thursday was a gift from Baby Jesus in our household.
It was rather splendid. And I watch all the news channels too but know enough to know the news folks on any of them.
I do like that one smart lesbian chick on one channel. But other than Fox not being it, I can’t tell you her channel or her name. I really don’t pay that much attention but she does a lot of talk shows.

Rachel is great!
I never completely cared for the Countess in the early years – then last season happened and I was won over. This season with the Girl Code and the whole jealousy over Adam thing she was rubbing me the wrong way. But tonight? With that no children crack? Done. 100% dislike. Awful thing to say to any childless woman. But when she should KNOW why Carole is childless – because the love of her life was sterile and died! – talk about breaking Girlcode in a completely heartless way. I think I stopped breathing for a split second when she said that… and then wanted to throw up when she laughed.
I actually gasped. I could not believe she went there and then cackled about it like she was so satisfied with herself. The woman is goddamn widow, her husband died of cancer, yea, mock her for not having any kids. Very classy. Ugh.
Bad form, Countess, your bitter is showing. Uncool & cruel.
Shae – Did you know that Anthony’s cancer started out as testicular cancer, and it made him sterile before they married? It has been YEARS since I read the book, but I seem to remember that she wrote about how it bothered him – that he could not provide her with children. She loved him more than that though, and they got married with the idea they could create a family in other ways. So I imagine that to her – Luann’s statement might have felt like a total slap to Anthony as well.
I fully admit this is a little crazy since I don’t know any of these people really, it is a silly reality show that probably does have some parts that are significantly staged or scripted, but I feel oddly protective of Carole. To help your husband – your soul mate – fight cancer for years, have him clearly near the end of his journey on this plane… and to lose the two people who are the essence and foundation of both your and his support system 2 or 3 weeks before he dies? I can’t believe she actually survived as well as she did. I just figured out that I got blocked on Twitter by another blogger (not one that I follow, but I caught a tweet of his to Carole) He accused her of lying and staging the trip to London, that ‘everyone’ knew Anthony’s ashes were spread at sea (like his cousin and his cousin’s wife) I just tweeted that he was an idiot not to know that ashes can be separated – heck, my grandparents are actually in 3 different places, and we did the dividing ourselves!
Carole said she didn’t want children.
Xanadude, that was wildly entertaining. I must have snorted 3 times. Thanks
O dear, me too, “Sonja Blew.”
Like the entire season, the finale was disappointing and unsatisfying. Your recap was better than the entire season. They wound up with silly arguments that made little sense and had no substance. This show needs a face lift.
What has Katie Holmes ever done to deserve the calibre of endorsements and movie roles she gets? Other than marrying Tom Cruise, she’s an extremely mediocre actress with a personality that’s the embodiment of beige.
LOVE!
Yes, but she escaped, hence, Regenerist. If anyone should get to throw a New Beginnings party, it’s Katie HOlmes.
Omg Artist I’ve been repetitively having this exact conversation every time that fucking commercial comes on and I have a new victim to subject to my tirade.
She’s conventionally attractive to a certain degree but I just can’t handle her mundanity attached to beauty product shilling. I would take ‘unattractive’ with a striking feature or any form of uniqueness and character any damn day.
Oh no I just see Kristen wiig as romona now. Perfect
I felt bad for Kristen, but honestly I wouldn’t have believed her either if they hadn’t had a clip supporting her side of things. She really should know by now not to say anything to the press about other people because it will almost certainly be twisted into an attack.
I am so fucking sick of hearing about this “girl code” bullshit. What is it anyway, other than some make-it-up-as-we-go-along “rules” to be wielded like a cudjel against someone else, usually hypocritically? What about behaving like decent human beings? (Looking at you, LuAnn!)
During the Dorinda/John scene, I was much too distracted by the lesbian with the blue hair in the background to listen to anything they were saying.
Sonja slurring her complaints to Kristen was beyond pathetic. One’s argument loses all gravitas when one is too drunk to speak.
Countess with a Cudgel – this fall on LMN, starring whoever this generation’s movie of the week queen. In my day we had Meredith Baxter and Valerie Bertinelli and we loved them.
We must be the same age. Started with Linda Blair’s Troubled Teenager movies (“C’mere, new fish”), Valerie Bertinelli always avenging her raped and/or murdered sister, and concluded with Meredith Baxter
Birneyramming her Suburban through her ex’s front door…and the sequel. When the torch passed to Tori Spelling, I had to move on, because: Tori Spelling.I still watch the two Betty Broderick movies when they are repeated. Tori gets points for starring in the woman in trouble movie with the best EVER title….”Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?”
2nd best title: Meredith’s My Breast (for the WTF? factor alone).
I’m sitting here wondering if Born Innocent and Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic are available On-Demand. Likely not though.
There was one with Victoria Principal as an evil mother who always wore white and punished her daughter for asking for a second piece of cake by stocking the refrigerator with nothing BUT cake and making her eat it all.
The Delta Burke as a gambling addict/embezzler from a charity that stuck with me too.
Haylie Duff. The new Lifetime Queen.
Victoria Principal is EVERYTHING. If she was my evil mother/stepmother, I would accept it. Because if Victoria Principal says I’m shit, I’m shit.
Because when I get a question in my head I HAVE to find the answer to it – the TV movie in which Victoria Principal punishes her daughter with cake was called Beyond Obsession and was based on a Real Life Story dealing with Joyce Aparo and her daughter Karin Aparo.
I am SO sick of girl code too. Give it a rest! I think most of these women need to review the How To Be a Decent Human Being Code. Or, How Not to be a Drunken Slurring Mess.
Sonja is the Imbiber… Slurring. Also, what was Dorinda saying in Swahili? Rewound it twice and still couldn’t decipher it.
While I have enjoyed the Real Imbibers of NYC, I am at my end of listening to the chirping, shrieking, slurring — but of course, I will watch the reunions.
It’s the new geriatric “Girl code”. Silly, and petty.
The only girl code I know is don’t break a date with a girlfriend if a guy asks you out, hands off her man, and if you’re her maid of honor wear the ugly dress with no complaints.
I really hate Luann.
That is it! Five cats you should get tokens
I loved that Kristen called Sonja on not actually reading the article she was so pissed about. Priceless.
It’s all about meeeee. Just ask Ramona and Sonja. Luann really put the cunt in cuntessa when she made the crack about Carole having no children. I expected her to say “I’ll get you, my pretty and your little dog too” after that maniacal laugh.
I am glad Kristen is leaving the show. Those women will chew her up and spit her out.
Dorinda’s statement necklace seemed like it was made out of safety pins.
Kristen is leaving the show???
I didn’t know that Kristen was leaving the show. Has it been announced somewhere?
I think it’s been a rumour? Can’t recall where I read it, perhaps here.
I love Bethenney and I give her props for trying to get through to Ramona but it’s a loss. You might as well bang your head against a wall. LuAnn needs to get over it. She’s being a hypocrite. I won’t miss Heather or Kristin. This season seemed short. On to the reunion.
I suspect that B. was completely shitfaced by the end of the night during that toast. She’s a funny drunk though.
Sorry, I spilled black coffee on my laptop and 3 letters dont type now & I just want to say, always liked Bet-enney. So dislike Kristin. I believe t-ey were correct about Kristin actin- dumb and needin- attention b/c an older model cant make news so uses Bet-enny & now Sonja for publicity. So sorry @ my stupid computer.Never liked yummy tummy or Kristin.
Fucking Luann needs to stop throwing Adam’s balls at Carole’s ceiling. I mean Luann has accumulated buckets of random balls that Carole can destroy her Sag Harbor home with. Adam is Luann’s type and I believe she would have banged him given the opportunity especially during one of her drunken stupor moments. Niece or no niece!
I suspect she tried to bang him in one of her alcohol induced hazes and was politely rebuffed, hence the ongoing overreaction to Carol banging him.
And yes, on Bravo website last week, LuAnn DID say that One Does Not Bang The Help.
Adam is alternately The Help, Like Family, a Stranger, A Child, Her Nieces Ex Boyfriend, or A Hot Man depending upon LuAnn’s drunken whim.
Bethenny as the psychotherapist should have done Luann. “You are irrationally pissed at Carole because you hit on him yourself and he shut you down.”
And yet the People’s Countess can be a bitch, a lover, a child, a mother, a sinner, a saint, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
I really like Carole. But I do think she was lying. I think she probably DID apologize to Lu on behalf of Heather’s behavior. LuAnn doesn’t need to lie about that, plus, you could tell Carole wanted to move on and stop discussing it.
And I am with Bethenny, Ramona having yet another party to celebrate herself is just ridiculous. That’s one thing about some people…’they just need so much attention. We have a lot of parties, and I never need a theme. It’s just stupid.
I think the best part of the season for me ended up Bethenny being back. She started off a bit annoying, but I ended up loving her again.
It actually helps if she did apologize. I’m surprised she hasn’t owned it. I guess she is scared of pissing Heather off?
I think Carole probably said something, probably along the lines of “I would have done it differently” that LuAnn then has blown out of proportion and twisted to the extent that Carole is now “That’s not what I said and that’s not what I meant”. We hear what we want to hear and I think that’s especially true of LuAnn.
I agree – the “quotes” Luann keeps spouting off just don’t sound like the way Carole speaks.
Agree. We already saw this season how Carole isn’t exactly truthful. She got Kristen all riled up about what Bethenny said about the trademark and B said that what Carole repeated was not true. I think B always owns what she says, so in that situation Carole definitely lied. I 100% think Carole said something along those lines to Luann, but is big time scared of pissing Heather off.
I think Carole is stoned half the time and may not remember exactly what she says. When she realizes later how something she said stirred the pot (no pun intended), she seems genuinely surprised and sorry.
Whenever I feel bad about the unwarranted flack that Kristen gets from the viewers, other wives and even her husband (that in particular is fucked up), I remember that she is supposedly besties with Brandi. At that point, I lose all sympathy.
Every wild girl has to have at least one friend who isn’t. It’s almost a requirement. You trot them out when you need to appear sane or go to court. “See my upstanding friend your honor, they love me, it’s proof of my innocence.”
Exactly. I like Kristen a lot because she doesn’t exhibit an Brandi like behavior. I think in whatever circle of friends included those two, Brandi was the one that you everyone else made excuses for and ended up holding her hair back while she puked in the toilet. The problem is the others have grown out of it and she hasn’t. Kristen has too much at stake, especially with her kid’s special needs.
I also think Bravo may have hyped them up as being “great friends”, when in fact they may have just worked together several years ago and gotten along. I don’t really know if they are super close friends or more casual friends.
Kristen is friends with Brandi? Poor thing really does get the shit end of the stick.
I am loving this season of RHONY.
I’m so sick of Luanne’s problem with Carole dating her nieces’ ex/friend/hired chef. So much energy there that leaves me wondering if she had a thing for him.
How’d the Countess get all twirled up on Carole and Adam? Initially she wasn’t this wound up? Did someone suggest she make it a storyline by exaggerating her disapproval? I don’t get it. Unless she was sleeping with him herself.
Maybe she never really did forgive Carole for their first season together and has been waiting for a chance to do some damage.
Also did anyone else notice the horrible grammar in the final scenes (the white text overlay).
I’m not a big grammar nazi, but even I noticed it.
Then and than are not interchangeable.
None of these women know how to use objective case pronouns. They think they’re being ever so elegant and correct, but they’re WRONG. It’s not “between you and I;” it’s always “between you and me.” It’s never “for my husband and I;” it’s “for my husband and me.” And while I’m being a grammar bitch, it’s always “different from,” not “different than.”
You’re fighting a losing battle. No more grammar or subtleties of language in future books, if there are any. I expect the next generation to be unable to read anything other than text speak.
All my someone that (rather than someone who) must drive you nuts. I try to fix it when I notice, but it’s sort of a dialect, like ain’t. 🙂

I am forgiving of their drunken broken english at times, but the actual white text overlay for the final scenes were incredibly poorly edited. Dorinda’s text used ‘then’ instead of ‘than’ and I think for Sonja’s they completely forgot to put a space between the ‘,’ and the first letter of the following word.
I guess even the NY housewives production team used a lot of unpaid interns for their editing process.
TT:
Yeah, the that/who thing drives me nuts too. (Surprise surprise).
But like “cannot” vs. “can not” and the above-mentioned I/me situation, I think that battle has already been lost.
Sonja was so over the top that I really thought she was “on something”. She was being so rude, dramatic and unwilling to listen to reason. Not a fan. This lifestyle brand needs to be REPLACED so she can come down a peg or two.
Me too, she seemed lit. She was rude and appeared hammered. I was so annoyed by her shrieking and not listening, that I had to stop watching for a bit. Just because her clothing is only sold on the World Wide Web doesn’t make it international.
I thought Sonja acted like everyone was an intern. Just ridiculously delusional. People seem to like her, but I don’t. I don’t think she is entertaining at all.
Betheny and Carole’s cruise to the Galapagos in June was aboard Marc Leder’s (“Hugh Hefner of the Hamptons”) 290 foot charter with 100 friends.
Coverage and photos in NYPost throughout month of June.
I thought it was funny how Sonja made sure to correct everyone about her brand saying , ” my brand is an International Brand!” As if she is big time LOL !
excuse me, it’s an “International lifestyle fashion brand” 🙂
Yes, her fashions are sold in Targe’. LOL
The sound in the party was atrocious. I was struggling to hear the diologue from all the chatter in the environment. Production really needs to clean that up. It was ridiculous!
LuAnn needs to take several seats. No one was barging into her room to “catch her in the act.” If they had come busting in during the middle of the night, then okay, perhaps….but it was the BRIGHT LIGHT OF DAY and there was no way that LuAnn would have still had the guy there once the camera crew showed up. Her “Girl Code” is much ado about nothing!
I think the reason that she is so butt hurt about Carole and Adam has nothing to do with her loyalty to her niece. I actually think that she probably tried to hit on young Adam herself, but crashed and burned….look at what she did with Harry while he was hitting it with Sonja. I think it is the fact that while older than LuAnn, Carole has more game in her little finger than LuAnn will ever have. Carole did not get dumped by her husband via e-mail, has an actual career as a successful author, is a PRINCESS and has won an EMMY. In contrast, there is LuAnn who has “no mans”, clinging to a title and warbling heavily auto-tuned ditties on WWHL from time to time.
Her remark to Carole about not having kids was Classless from the Countess.
You tell her, Jr. Leaguer. Bravo!!
“needs to take several seats” lmao, that’s hilarious. well said.
Well played jrleaguer 🙂
Perfectly said. Princess > Countess every day of the year.
I agree with most of your comment, except the starting point. I don’t care where we are, or the time of day. Do NOT enter my bedroom uninvited. Ever.
It is completely inappropriate. Especially if a camera crew is following you. What if she had a vibrator sitting on her bedside, or lube, or a bottle of femfresh. A certain level of privavy is expected when you travel with friends.
Also I am a fan of morning romps and I usually sleep naked. What if the Countess is similar? Clearly Carole crossed a line and will not apologize for it.
Uh yeah, except LuAnn is on a reality show and knows she’s going to be filmed. I guarantee they all got a call sheet that said cameras will be up at X:00AM and therefore knew what time to have the men gone and clothes put back on by. Only a retard would leave dildos out and visible if they didn’t want them filmed.
Also, if you go back and watch again, what did LuAnn do just as soon as Heather and Carole left her room? She went and barged into Ramona’s room the exact way H & C had barged into hers! So it’s fine for her to do it to others, just not for others to do it to her. LuAnn can get the fuck outta town with all of her “How dare you” bullshit and hypocrisy.
But they showed a clip of LuAnn doing the exact same thing, coming into Carole’s room uninvited. So NOW she’s all upset? Hypocrite, and then she deflects on Carole during the party, saying Carole gets angry when confronted and tries to push the blame on someone else. Ffs, that is you through and through, Cuntess.
Oh I’m not defending Luanne as not being a hypocrite. She is.
I just do not agree with the idea that barging into someone’s bedroom (on camera or off) is appropriate or defendable behaviour. No matter who it is.
Notice Carole is also modest about the princess, Emmy, etc. The only time I ever saw her take umbrage us when Aviva said Carole used a ghost writer.
“Take umbrage” is my all time favorite!!!!!!
‘take umbrage’ makes me like you more. Yes, I’m that shallow.
With regard to Dorinda, I ended the season with her as I started it. Conflicted, confused with her “sometimes you feel like a nut/ sometimes you don’t ” personality.
Moments of fresh fun, hospitality and vulnerabity coupled with snarling, martini fueled, lip- encrusted attacks.
I was very nervous for John during the restaurant scene. For a big palooka, he was TRYING to be sensitive and intimate with her. She kept right on chomping her food. I was praying the poor guy wasn’t going to bring out a ring because it would have definitely been “BACK THAT BITCH UP” time.
That standing up and hugging and kissing over the teeny table thing looked awkward and contrived and just plain weird. Who does that?
When Bethenny 1st came into the party and she & Ramona were talking, did anyone else notice Ramona’s odd facial expressions? Twice she looked down, blinked like crazy and shook her head. I thought she was having a stroke. She’s always made weird faces, but this was strange even for her. She had that puzzled look of the beginnings of dementia, just like my mom did.
The Countess is a Cuntess. John needs to grow a pair and order what HE wants to eat.
I did! I thought for sure Bethenny would say something about it, like WTF is going on with your face right now, are you seizing??? But no. Apparently this isn’t jarring to anyone. It was prolonged, too.
Isn’t there a form of seizure that happens all in the brain – no falling to ground or jerking, etc… just a frozen blank look and maybe some blinking? Or am I nuts? (Well… I may be right, and still be nuts…)
petit mals happen without the convulsions. They are still not fodder for hilarity.

These women are embarrassing! All that money and so much dumb! I just want to tell Bethany to STFU!! I gagged at the “dry county” remark. Eww! And LuAnn, you bitch, wtf? Sorry, I have nothing to add, just had to get that out. Thanks!!
Ramona deserved the vagina punch Bethenny gave her all this episode. Kristen in her blog is right on the mark about Ramona. She treats literally everyone horribly and then apologizes for it. She needs to stop being so nasty and maybe she wouldn’t have to apologize so much. Ramona only looked better by comparison when Jill was there and not by that much.
Poor poor Kristen. She needs to leave this ridiculous show and go back to her basic happy prosperous life. I feel so bad for her season after season, because these girls are absolutely vile towards her 95% of the time. #TeamKristen
Great season. I left not really liking Carole. Heather also grated on my nerves, but she’s still legit. Ramona is Ramona. Sonja I still love even with her delusions. Bethenny was great. DORINDA I also liked. Vintage shady haughty Countess made a reappearance after he first half which I loved.
I enjoyed this season as it was the first I watched in what feels like ages, that never became ‘dark’. The OC is all cancer and failing marriages, NJ is familied at war, BH is rich drug addicts/alcoholics at war, Atlanta is shady ratchet slut shaming mess, with a touch of orange jumpsuit. New York was ‘light’. The fights never really became knockout dragout battles like in the other shows.
Micheal, you summed up the Bravo Housewives shows perfectly!
How is it that these women have so much money and social standing but have never learned to chew with their mouths shut?
Because they never stop talking. NEVER. Even while eating, underwater, or having sex, they are still yenta-ing it up.
Yes, Ramona has had a lot of these “new beginning” like parties, but I agree w/Tamara–the woman was married for over 2 decades and is now getting divorced from a man whom she thought she would be with forever– so let her have her damn party and call it whatever she wants! What the hell was wrong with Bethanny at this party, she arrived ready for a fight and was a real bitch. The countess Luann is such a trouble maker and the “you have no children” comment to Carol was a low for her and classless. Dorinda and Sonja should not drink and tawk. Kristen’s husband is still horrible to her and Heather, well, she is a buttinsky but she doesn’t bother me. Lastly, people have noted before how Carol chews with her mouth open and Dorinda talks with her mouth full and tonight was the first time I noticed these things. Wow, not a pretty sight.

I’m really going to miss housewives of NY but would appreciate it if they didn’t bring back Heather, Kristen and Carole. Carole reminds me of Mick Jagger (so haggard looking) and she really needs to stop with her teenage antics, just because you have the body of a teenager don’t mean you should dress like one especially when you look 50 or more!
Bethenny was fun to watch on WWHL, she wasn’t as exhausting; love the quick wit sarcasm she brings to the show along with “I’m not talking to you” Sonya and “slit my wrist” Ramona (my two favorite); they keep it interesting just being themselves … DELUSIONAL … lol
LuAnn is a must have – a Birkin knockoff; most of us have a LuAnn; Dorinda, I can take or leave probably leave along with needy John.
Oh well, glad I have “Married to Medicine” – interesting and entertaining show.
The Countess is getting a shit storm of negative tweets. Carole is unapologetically retweeting and responding to messages of support, and saying shit about the classless Countess Luann. I think she deserves it.
I’d say the Countess picked on what she figured was the low-hanging fruit – Carole – of the series and it backfired on her. The Countess has never struck me as one who’s into much self-reflection and can’t see what an astounding hypocrite she is.
All I can figure is that she’s angling for next season, clinging to that apple so tightly, even the serpent himself couldn’t wring it from her clutches.
Sonja really needs help! I think she was on more than alcohol. That being said I was pleasantly surprised by her collection. If I hear middle aged women yelling girl code one more time I’m gonna scream!
