I had no idea this was coming on at 8 pm tonight. In fact I just saw it recording and stopped it because I thought it was a social edition of last week. I was busy watching The Donald Trump Show which is currently airing on every news channel on cable. It’s mesmerizing. The news channels are handing Trump this election. Anyway, on to the show.
I am over the Carole and Adam argument. Carole says this was never a problem with Luann. Luann admits she didn’t mention it. Let it go people!
Finally, on to Dorinda. Andy LOVES Dorinda. Dorinda doesn’t work she inherited her husband’s business which she sold when he died. Hannah doesn’t watch the show and isn’t thrilled that social media talks about her. Dorinda says Hannah is more reserved like her father and not really into the how show thing. Bethenny keeps jumping in to answer for Dorinda. THAT’S interesting. People bring up John’s less attractive points, he wants his business on the show (Bethenny of all people brought that up), he is a bit “handsy”, and the bottom line is Dorinda is happy with him and everyone needs to shut the fuck up. Kristen’s big moment on the reunion thus far as that a drunk date of one of the housewives got a bit handsy with her. Is she twelve? Every woman on earth know how to deal with these situations. Dorinda is like, so did you call 911?
I’m finally paying attention to Kristen’s boobs. Apparently Josh bought them for her last year. I hate to bring this up at such a sensitive time but they are laying down on her just like my old, sad, tired, real boobs do. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Heather takes over the whole beating up on Dorinda thing. They have been having a Twitter war. Heather says that Dorinda has it out for her. Dorinda is dismissive. Heather doesn’t like it when mommy and mommy fight. Moving on to the fuck you dinner. Kristen suddenly sticks up for Heather. The whole left side including Bethenny says that Dorinda has a different personality after five dirty martinis too many. Even Bethenny says that Dorinda is lying about not being drunk. Dorinda was clearly drunk. I do not understand people who are not embarrassed when they get drunk and do stupid shit. I do it all the time and spend the next 48 hours cringing and apologizing. And I am not even on film! How can you see yourself in a drunken argument and deny you were drunk, Dorinda? Dorinda and Heather agree that they can probably work it out.
I have never seen such horrible wardrobe for a reunion EVER and I include RHONJ in that! I like Bethenny’s and Sonja’s and I am okay with Dorinda’s because she gets the “Sopranos” pass. But my goodness at the rest of them.
Andy says that he loves how sexually free they all were this season. Sonja says she had a nice long run with Dominick, the gay dude who was 24, almost nine months. Girlfriend, I’ve had gay flings (and internet marriage) with gay men for over decade. I’ve “dated” the hottest gay guys in the school for the entire school year. I get letting people think for the sake of being a beard at work that it might “be something.” But this is just more of your delusion.
Who is this gay man who Luann is being accused of doing in the bathroom. Is it that TV guy? His name is Eric something. Forgive, I’ve been doing back-end work on the blog all day and my brain is fried. Help a sister out.
Bethenny says she is in a good place, she has a daughter and a career, and she is dating and psyched about it. Bethenny says she doesn’t want a guy who would be psyched about being on the show, her new guys have no social media at all.
Lots of joking about Carole and Bethenny being sexually attracted but nothing happened.
I’m sorry. I keep getting distracted by Luann wearing a Christmas tree skirt. She looks like she need as cigarette.
Andy points out that Ramona and Luann are sitting next to each other for the first time in seven seasons. Which is interesting to me because Andy always swears that the seating is not pitting sides against each other when it is abundantly clear that is exactly what it is. AND the HBIC of each side sits closest to him.
Talk about the new Ramona. Ramona admits she had her boobs done. She says it is all in her book. Ramona says she wants to apologize “in all sincerity” about shutting Andy down about her divorce last season. The whole left couch mocks “in all sincerity” and Bethenny says she should trademark that. #catty Give the woman a break. Andy says she wrote a lot in her book about what happened with Mario. Andy says that Mario blame the show for breaking up the marriage. Andy talks about how in the book she talks about busting him in their Hamptons home with another woman (suddenly this book sounds good). Ramona says she went there to see him in the Hamptons to talk to him because they had not spoken and things were bad and even though he said not to come, she went. She knew in the back of her mind the bitch might be there. She was not looking at the …”what is the Jewish word? minutia?” (damn those Jews for stealing all the good words, like minutia. Can I not say minutia now since I am not Jewish? UGH-uh). Anyway, she arrived and the bitch was in her kitchen, and she told Mario she stopped by to get her contacts. Ramona says it was a horrible moment and everyone is very sympathetic, especially Kristen who seems horrified at the thought. Bless your heart, Kristen.
On to Luann supposedly being mean to Ramona about her divorce and pointing out how young the mistress was. Luann says she never like Mario. Luann says at some function a photog was trying to get her attention for a picture and yelled “Countess, Countess” and she heard Mario say, ” Don’t you mean ‘countless'” and that was very hurtful for her.
Even more about Ramona and her fake new beginnings. Bethenny says that Ramona’s constant apologies don’t work for her. Andy brings up #DressGate Ramona says if Bethenny wants to think she stole them then she stole them. Bethenny tells a whole long story about how Ramona stole the dresses. It sound true. Bethenny says that she sent her assistant to retrieve the dress but Ramona would not answer the door. She had sent the assistant to give her a dress to replace the one she needed to retrieve. Bethenny tells the whole story about Ramona saying the first dress “must have fallen out of the car.” I had a sister-in-law who did the same damn thing to me about a sweatshirt when I was like 18. She stole my sweatshirt. Then she claimed she didn’t have it. Then she said she wore it out and threw it away. Ramona’s response just reminded me of that whole event. Liars. It’s clear Ramona stole the dresses.
They talk about whether or not Ramona has changed. Bethenny says that Ramona called her a cheater. She says it’s a nasty quality. Bethenny says she knows where all bodies are buried for Ramona and she needs to shut her fucking mouth. Bethenny says she has never cheated on either of her husbands.
Next Week: More drama and Sonja says that Madonna was at her fashion show. Amazing how the cameras miss THAT.
Ramona will never admit she is a bitch, and if she does it will always be someone elses fault. I cannot imagine how she felt walking in and the other woman is in your kitchen, that had to be very painful and on that I feel for her. To me Dorinda is a thug in a cocktail dress, but she should own her drunken behavior.
I like Dorinda. Edits made Dorinda look bad toward end but I do like Soprano bravado we see. Now Kristin, do not like Kristin at all.
Totally OT, but happened to have Oxygen on today and some show about some ghetto ratchet nail salon was on. Here it’s Aviva’s father George’s GF’s (or fiancée/wife’s) salon. He’s on it
Couldn’t it have just been a nail salon? Explain to me why it’s ghetto.. I’m dying to know
Ha ha! So ghetto it covers your nails in Swarovski crystals?
For one, the strip mall it’s in is also home to Miami’s only 24-hour check cashing/Western Union establishment, to give you an idea of the uh, “flavor” of the neighborhood where it’s located…
Its called Boss Nails. Its a salon her later mother started that she is continuing. I don’t know why its “ghetto”. Just because its not the pale pink nails your wear doesn’t make it “inferior”.
Kristen is useless. Heather is intolerable and does act like her assessment of any situation is the absolute truth. Ugh. Carole believes she way cuter than she actually is. At some point Sonja must wake up from her alternate world. Luann is all over the place. Bethany is truly just there to flex her comedic muscles. Ramona & her new beginnings plus old who’re husband story is a snoozefest. These chicks libidos are in overdrive. Ha!
It’s Bethenny. A common mistake newbies make with her name and spell check.
… precious.
I love Bethenny! Her talking heads are everything.
I find all the NY cast entertaining with Bethenny the icing on the cake. The ratings for the season weren’t great but they weren’t bad either so I hope Bravo doesn’t screw with it too much.
And you are still watching.
Rolly, you nailed it! Especially your assessment of Kristen & Carole.
Tonight we saw in quick succession The Three Faces of Dorinda: Good/Bad/Drunk.
I go back to my episode one comment and say that Ramona has resting bitch voice.
Ramona seems to have a limited vocabulary, and doesn’t seem to understand half of the words she DOES use.
The Peoples Countess continues to slide down the relevancy slide into Phaedra territory. Just because an insult is followed by a throaty laugh and a wink doesn’t make the insult any less venomous. If anything, it makes the insulter look far worse and more mean spirited. It’s not cute anymore, sweetie, and you need to stop. Quit trying to keep up with Bethenney, Carole, and Heather. An insult is not a witty rejoinder.
Which is sadder? The state of Kristen’s boobs or Shannon Beador? Shannon, our Current Misery Queen, wins hands down. Or palms up.
LOL I kept trying to say cathartic the way she did and I couldn’t.
Carthonic: a cross between a cathartic and a colonic.
The whole carthotic thing really threw me. It sounds like some sort of brace for my car’s aging struts or something.
I could not get “carthonic” or whatever she said out of my head. Then of course there’s that Jewish word, “minutia”. Jesus Christ!
Give Ramona a Carthonic. A potent laxative and a 3 H enema
Sonja views the world through porn tinted glasses.
An insult is not a witty rejoinder – YES! Neither is saying “I don’t remember” which it seems like she did a lot.
Her boobs are a little low for being new… I wonder if they were very low to begin with or if they went over the muscle. Sometimes, people want to go so natural it ends up defeating the purpose.
Those are def over the muscle implants.. You can almost see the outline of the implant. Ugh, they look awful!
Yeah, such a bad idea to go over the muscle. Whoever did them did a poor job.
Maybe Josh should have sprung for a better plastic surgeon instead of spending all his money on his Ashley Madison account!
They were very low to begin with.
I just love reading your take on these housewives because, welp, because it’s always so enlightening. You have inside info, plus life experience, plus a novel writer’s knack for observation that adds to my overall look on life; not just these women.
Many people are bothered by Bethenny as if she’s a dog with a bone about certain things, but to me holds feet to the fire, which is what I watch a reunion for. Andy always lets me down but Bethenny won’t be led down bunny trails or be put off. Her FINALLY holding Ramona and the countess (gag) accountable for their gauche behavior was so satisfying, I can’t even tell ya. Notice, they are forced to either change their behavior or ADMIT their behavior after not being let off the hook. Andy the weasel loves having Bethenny be the bad guy because he pretends to love these women whilst exploiting them and laughing inside all the way to the bank. I see Bethenny’s pathology as courageous and hopeful and realistic and forgiving in spite of all her trials and tribulations. She probably even thinks Andy is her friend.
Why did you make me look at Kristen’s books? That was scary! Put a bra on please.
BOOBS….
Her cleavage is a bit on the conservative side, by Housewives standards.
I don’t know. They are really low. If she put on a push up bra would her cleavage make the HW cut?
Kristen Taekman IS Tura Satana. This year’s hot new biopic -only on Lifetime. Television for women…and gay men.
Tura Satana. LOL! She needs a little more Kitten Natividad…
My husband calls it the “Women in Peril” channel.
Heads up TT, part III airs Thursday.
Loved that Ramona had another “in all sincerity” in her at the end. 😉
At least her boobs aren’t popping out like most of the ladies at the last Atlanta reunion (not to mention the ladies of OC always having their fake titties out). That’s what I meant by conservative by Housewives standards.
meant top reply to Angel(?)
Actually, I think that maybe she just has a long torso and they look low because she is sitting. I’m going to chalk it up to bad camera angle.
I thought that, too, Angel.
OK, I finally saw the show and once again I was talking out of my ass because her boobs do look low and sagging.
But they are new! Usually women get implants that rest higher on the rib age. Josh bought himself a set that now rest on his wife’s abdomen. Not a nice gesture, Josh!
She should have had a lift along with the implants. The doc makes incisions under Tha beasts and reposition the nipples. This will prevent the grapefruit in a sack look that Kristen ended up with. I think it’s called a mastoplasty.
A bra lady at Von Maur told me breasts should be between your elbow and shoulder not down to your elbow.
@kallen…thanks for that! I have freakishly long arms, so my boobs are perfectly placed according to your bra lady!
Those ladies keep throwing each other under the bus so much they should have The Wheels on the Bus as their theme song. Loved the way Ramona tried to weasel out from the dress thievery. Bethenny gives no quarter.
Sonja was relieved when Dorinda got put in the hot seat for her drinking.
I love everything about your comment except now I have that DAMN SONG IN MY HEAD. Evil, evil woman.
I agree TT! Ramona’s tell-all book is sounding much more interesting after this episode and the few excerpts released on bravo.
I don’t like Carole’s dress.
She looks like a small, malnourished Tootsie Roll.
With teeth.
We’re on vacation in Hawaii and that describes the majority of the women here who are over 45, although for some reason, I always get stuck standing next to the hot 22 year old in a thong..
This made me burst out in giggles. I agree.
If something similar to this post again, sorry, WordPress is effing with me 🙂
It’s sad when the ladies of OC go to a dinner at a construction site and look FAR classier, than the ladies of NY look going to their reunion. 🙁
After re watching I am not sure Dorinda lives in reality at times. She is far to defensive and nasty is she is questioned on her behavior, which at times was terrible. When she drinks she is out of control and nasty mean. Dorinda also does not have a very good memory, there are times i really like her and times i want to throat punch her. Luanns dress is terrible, what the hell is the deal wiht the fucking cut out shoulders. They sale that shit at walmart.
Jeeze, I thought ALL their clothing choices could have come from Walmart, or maybe TJ Maxx. Maybe with the exception of Bethenny, but they all looked kinda cheap to me. Weird.
I just think that if Heather chose to wear her bathrobe to the reunion, the least she could do would be to tie it shut so her undies don’t show.
I loved Sonja’s gold dress, although she had already worn it quite a few times on the normal episodes.
I think Dorinda is sooo defensive and nasty as well. She would be much better off saying she drank too much at times, because she gets loopy and mean when anyone even tries to talk.
That dress is from LuAnn’s most recent collection, thank you very much-I believe she might have worn it in an episode as well. I generally like what she wears (accessories aside-not into the statement necklaces) but if this is whats she’s selling, I have no idea who’s buying.
“In all sincerity”, I find Dorinda a puzzle-I generally like her sober, drunk however, she’s a train wreck-I wish she’d just own it.
I hate bethenny.
She is annoying.
If the attention isn’t on her she makes sure it’s on her.
I really like Dorinda and I think Kristen was blowing up the situation with John WAAAY out of proportion (although I would have stepped away like she did). HOWEVER, I did NOT like the “slut shaming” comment Dorinda flung referring to Kristen posing topless. So the fuck what? That means guys can grab her?
To me it means John can behave how he wants as long as Dorinda doesn’t mind and she isn’t drinking. When she is drinking all bets are off and she gets nasty with them all. I don’t think Kristen made a big deal of it as much as Ramona kept bringing it up and trying to throw the blame at others. Ramona detests John, it is obvious and Dorinda was flat out nasty. I wonder if she was so nasty because deep down she knows he could be shady by being at that meat market club with out her and then was getting handsy with her friends. As another commenter said she is 3 people, good, bad and drunk. I have seen her drunk and Thuggish far more than any of the other ladies and that is saying a lot.
Dorinda is just gross. And she says “Richard” about 100 times per episode.
That comment made me realize that Dorinda might be transitioning into The Duchess. With slut shaming, yelling at Heather that they are “pure girls”, being incensed about the F word, blaming the women when her boyfriend puts his hands on others in public and pretending not to be drinker … she’s got one foot solidly on the denial train.
I don’t remember the comment, but at the beginning of the show when Andy asked Dorinda something, in her first sentence she used the F word.
What f-word? Fart? Fuck? Faggot? Fuckface? Fag? Fuckstick? Fucktard? Frankie?

I love a good F bomb. My cable provider edits it from the closed captions into F&%^ … I think they’re trying to help curb my cursing habit. It’s Uncle Sam taxes hard at work.
I thought Kristen’s boobs looked good. I hate those hard melons that sit on the chest; isn’t that what Terry fixes all the time on botched, awful boob jobs?
Agree @belladonna. That’s what boobs look like before the get hijacked. Think the ’40’s, Marlena Dietrick, or more recently, J Lo in that famous green dress, where she was taped in. Men tell me they think about gently cupping them from below, instead of grabbing them from the front like hard headlights!
Sad that women believe that puffy porn boobs are now the norm. Tired of women trashing their own sacred parts.
Yup yup yup!
I agree, too. Looks like she got teardrop implants as opposed to the rock-hard footballs that point straight out from the chest.
Teardrops look more natural, imo.
lol … I totally agree, Pip
Yes, yes @ BH and Pip! Have had lots of conversations with my daughter about what is alluring, natural, sexy. I hope she loves her natural curves-at 19, and a 34 DD, she has a “sag”. But she is a perky one! Regardless. French women love themselves NO MATTER WHAT. So should we. Porn boobs do not make me love myself. !!!
oh no. Kristen needs to go on Botched and get that fixed. If you look closely, it’s really sagging too low & you can see the indents of the implants. It looks terrible. It reminded me of Nene’s boobs before she got them fixed.
Best dressed is Bethenny. I like her hair too. She is fucking funny, you can’t say she isn’t witty.
Some really awful styling happening. That dress Luann is wearing is hideous. Heather’s green bathrobe is ugly too.
Luann is very proud of the fact that the hideous dress she wore is part of her Countess Collection. Blech.
According to Lu, the problem isn’t the dress it was the lighting at the reunion.
If your dress/design looks that craptastic under ANY kind of lighting, then it is a design fail.
Reminded me of an 80’s prom dress. And Lu always used to look so glamorous.
Countess is never at fault, year after year. Just ask Luann.
I was channel-surfing the other day and came across LuAnn hawking her Countess Collection on one of the shopping channels. Oy, what crap! Every last article was ugly.
The segment I saw featured full-length crew neck dresses with small print patterns (only $47.79!). The fabric looked like the very cheapest cotton jersey (T-shirt material) or something you’d see making up an extra-cheap nightgown.
Not noble, or dare I say, regal at all. Just cheap, cheap, cheap and ugly. I understand wanting to produce a line that is affordable to most people; there’s a lot of money to be made in the mass market (just ask Jaclyn Smith!). Inexpensive doesn’t need to be ugly though. Clearly LuAnn’s taste is all in her mouth.
I’m sorry but i felt like Bethenny who i find really annoying was answering for everyone?? Who died and made her God?? She’s the queen of “I know everything?”.. does she really believe half of what she is saying?? talk about attention seeking B.S. When i think about her divorce and trying to get full custody of her child.. when say what you will about her “EX:” he seemed like a great father.. so who is she to be a morale compass for ANYONE?? It was so annoying i wish someone gave her a muzzle and we could just stop hearing her voice.. and i think all these attacks towards Sonja was wayyy overboard.. how many friggin times do we have to hear Bethenny tell the Television world about THE DRESSES…. Alright Already… why would anyone want to be close to Bethenny… i’d keep it moving.. and Kristen.. if she comes back next year i’ll be shocked.. what in heavens name did she add to this season??? NOTHING! It seemed to me that Andy was letting Bethenny run the reunion… weird…..
Same. Bethenny wouldn’t stop interrupting and answering for people.
I did like hearing the real story behind the dresses. I find it interesting that someone like Ramona would be so cavalier about being a thief. Between that and her marginal grip on the English language, I wonder about her upbringing. She seems to also have no problem lying. She’s an interesting characture to me.
I wonder if Ramona has been like this her whole life. Has she ever beem held accountable for her words and actions? Has she ever experienced the negative repercussions? Her comment last nite about not knowing if she could change her behavior while shrugging and snickering was telling.
It’s no wonder, though why she wouldn’t change her behavior. With the way everyone calls her out on the things she’s done, and then with a smile on their faces and laughing, they all say, but… ‘I can’t be mad at her and I still love her’ and then they all go on their merry way as if she did nothing just reinforces her bad behavior. SMH
I’d love to get away with things like Ramona does (I don’t steal from friends tho! lol). I’d be embarrassed and humiliated if I said and did some of the things she does and I know I’d have paid the price for it and would have learned my lesson and not been such a serial repeater like Ramona is. But, I’m responsible and have a conscience, some things I don’t think I’ve seen in Ramona on tv. She sure doesn’t appear to be remorseful for what she’s done.
Yeah, they all say the love “the real Ramona”, but when are we going to meet her? She’s AWFUL!
I think Ramona feels entitled to the dresses, so it’s no big deal to her.
… from your perspective.
I find Bethenny intelligent, witty, caring, fashionable, wise, yes the list goes on. To each our own.
Thanks for a witty and amusing recap TT. Love the changes to the website. If that’s your image in purple, you’re very lovely indeed. I’ve been curious to know what you look like. Now I know.
@calipatti I agree with you. Despite her many flaws, I think Bethenny is great. She’s sharp and insightful. For reasons unknown, I appreciate her intensity and how concise and detailed she is when riled up or emotional. She doesn’t become incoherent. I don’t think I’d like too much of that quality in one of my actual friends but it works for Ms Frankel. I LOVED the way she explained what actually transpired in Dressgate. Ramona is utterly shameless. Even though she STOLE a dress she was nonchalant about it. She was also blase about spreading unsubstantiated gossip.
Note to Ramona: if you didn’t see Bethenny (or anyone) cheating, keep your cakehole closed. Then the rumour dies a swift death, Spreading gossip is so tacky.
That said, and I’m not a fan, I felt sorry for Ramona when she talked about finding that trespassing woman in her house. Mario is a CuntSatchel to do that to her, Despite her bravado and renewal crap, she is deeply hurt and would probably have preferred to remain with Mario if he hadn’t humiliated her even further Mario and his wandering eye are no more.(almost called him Mauricio!)
Kristen seems like the girl on the outside. What was her role other than looking pretty and glamourous this season? Oh yes, her nail polish line and objecting to John’s ‘advances’ If she reacts to the Ashley Madison scandal and her cheating twerp of a husband, she may have more to do/say next season. First the denial, then the weak apology. Go away Josh. Any fame hungry women who had the misfortune of getting with him should bide their time and then step forward in the most public way (I feel sorry for Kristen but she needs to know the truth about her wayward husband so that she can make an informed decision)
I’ve got a feeling that Joe Guidice is on the list too.
Not sure how I feel about Dorinda. She talks a lot and her sweetness disappears when she drinks. She’s thuggish. shout out to Alex McCord.
Luanne’s dress choice was ill advised. I like her a lot but she came across as extremely petty and jealous.
It’s good to know that Carole and Heather’s friendship is, correction SEEMS so tight. They were constantly defending each other. I hope its not just a TV friendship.
They acted like early Tamra and Vicky, Teresa and Jackie and even Sheree and Nene.
Carole seemed to get tongue tied when Andy asked her to explain if she’d had any girl on girl experiences. Maybe she and Sonja could explore this side of themselves.,,,together.
Did we go Julie Brown down town is one of Bethenny’s killer one liners.
As for Sonja, she has been chirpy throughout parts one and two. When Andy reviews her individual performance, we’ll see if that’s a facade.
All in all, I enjoyed part two of season 7’s RHNY reunion
@calipatti …. I agree with you about Bethenny. I’m surprised at some of the negative comments. Ramona would drive me out of a room in minutes.
Watch the episode were Heather accuses Bethenny of being a “know it all.” Bethenny owns it & responded to Heather with “maybe I do know it all” & if you ever want to know if all just ask me cause I know it all; it was hilarious!
Watch the episode were Heather accuses Bethenny of being a “know it all.” Bethenny owns it & responded to Heather with “maybe I do know it all” & if you ever want to know if all just ask me cause I know it all; it was hilarious!
That was a classic answer to an insult! I admire Bethenny’s quickness and wit.
Excuse me in the above post I mean’t to say.. Bethenney just wouldn’t stop with RAMONA and the dresses.. in error i typed Sonja :):)
It’s hard not to talk about “the dresses” when Andy asks a direct question about it and Ramona keeps lying about it.
And I love that – Ramona is lying, and Bethenny is not going to give her a pass.
I think I’m in love with this site, after breaking up with it a couple of years ago. This recap is perfection. Been reading for awhile because TT recaps on her own, and has Input that goes beyond HW, and doesn’t cut and paste Other stories. Has a tone and a voice. The vulnerability that TT and the regular contributors share with your stories, is lovely and raw. TT, hands down, you’ve created and now landed a nice and authentic blog, with insightful commentary and good boundaries of rules. Congrats!
PS: Your pic is gorgeous. Good grace on your new site changes. I love the pic you chose (forgive me for putting this here, but haven’t posted on site in a very long time). I am picky about Fonts. If you love it, I will support you. I personally see you stronger and classic, like some from Crane’s. I think that you mentioned the font will not be against white, or did @Sequoia? That would be lovely for your heading. I may be saying too much, and I’m reading from an iPhone, so format appears differently for me than on Mac or PC, but just my opinion to have a beautiful heading with your pic. I loved your old one, as well, for what it is worth. Thanks for recapping what others do not, and in your own voice.
I’ve decided I want to live in Sonja’s world of delusion. It’s far more exciting and glamorous than my life, even though it’s fake. My next post will be all about my slumber party with Madonna and how we made popcorn and did each other’s hair.
The wardrobe choices…oh my! The hair and makeup left a lot to be desired as well.
Kristen’s gown only highlighted the sag of her new boobs. Those things look downright painful. Poor Heather. Ramona must have jacked Heather’s gown and she had no other choice but to wear her satin bathrobe. Carol’s hair looks fried. Bethenny has a cute outfit, but she looks like she has not slept in a week. Ramona is so botoxed up that she has that Renee Zellweger squint and so pinoted (I know it is not a word) up that she is slurring more than Dorinda ever did. LuAnn is making Kathleen Turner sound like a soprano and thinks that dressing like a Disney Princess may help her in her battle with the Princess on the other couch. I liked Dorinda’s dress, but she has to stop taking make up tips from Hannah. Last but not least, Sonja. Granted, she is 50 shades of Grey Gardens crazy, but she was in golden splendor with a dress that I am sure that Madonna hand delivered from Gstaad.
@jrleaguer …I’m still laughing at your hilarious comments – thanks!
I fail to see what is so endearing about Ramona that she can be so awful to everyone, so annoying and arrogant, so entitled, rude, etc. and yet they still forgive her and remain friends. She is a repeat offender x10000, how is it nobody has enough of this bs? I would think Bethenny especially would be at the end of her rope with this game. I do have sympathy for her with Mario cheating, that’s awful for anyone to experience, no matter how much I can’t stand her. Dorinda did seem awfully defensive and nasty last night, she literally would not let Heather or Carol speak, if you are right, you don’t need to talk over people. Let them say what they’re going to say and then you set it straight when you get your chance, she was all over the place yelling and sounding a hot mess. I think I can see what the ladies meant by there being another side to her. I like the one side, the other gets under my skin. “Ranona Rider” was hilarious, the dress falling out of the car, for the love of god, really, Ramona? tone the creativity in the lies down.
Why would someone who is so successful need to steal a dress? Ramona, do the right thing……give BOTH dresses back AND send $1000 to the charity Bethenny mentioned. Very tacky Ramona!
She didn’t need to, she feels entitled so she wanted to and felt it’s ok to just take, the arrogance is ridiculous.
I’m surprised that Dorinda wouldn’t admit to being drunk – that could be her excuse for the bad behavior. Instead, she’s admitting that she’s just a big bitch.
In TT’s words: “I do not understand people who are not embarrassed when they get drunk and do stupid shit. I do it all the time and spend the next 48 hours cringing and apologizing. And I am not even on film!”
AGREE!
I am Jewish and I understand and spoke Yiddish as a kid. I never hear the word minutia used in this language. I have heard mishugas (craziness) but that’s all. I read Ramona’s book and it’s ok. It won’t win any literary prizes but it’s a quick read. It sounds exactly like Ramona and is mostly about her childhood and her relationship with her father. The parts about Mario are what we have all read in the papers and tabloids. Luann made a total ass of herself on this reunion and not only looked like a circus performer in her weird blue dress but acted like she was stoned (the frantic fanning with the card and her sudden memory loss) were out of character. She was caught being the bitch that she really is. I didn’t like Dorinda very much during this show and found her to be a bit of a bully when she kept interrupting and denying her behavior when drunk. She is an odd duck. As for Kristen’s new boobs..someone messed up. They are not perky but saggy and who looks like that after a fresh boob job? If her new boobs are the new look then I am right in style. Hers were heading south just like most of us at a certain age. Maybe they are just too big or someone did a bad job. I suppose that Josh paid for her new boobs to make up for his adventures on Ashley Madison? I too am sick and tired of Luann’s bogus argument with Carole over Adam. . I do believe that she is jealous that Carole got him instead of her.
You really thought minutia was a Yiddish word? Oy Veh!
hahahahha!
Nope, but Ramona, being the dork that she is probably did. Congrats though, you spelled “oy veh” perfectly. Most people don’t.
Frantic fanning is what happens when you wear cheap polyester.
Lol, I thought I heard something last reunion from Sonja claiming “Madonna was outside” at her fashion show. Suuuuuure, Sonja. But of course, that’s why nobody saw her, she was outside.
All the clothes were just awful…
I feel like Kristen had no story line at all and should have just been a friend of the housewives role except she doesn’t appear to be friends of any of them….I feel bad for her, I cringed when she said earlier in the season that “they were such a close knit group so it was weird she wasn’t invited”, I don’t think anyone considers her a close friend. She might as well have not been at the reunion.
I did notice Andy was allowing Bethenny to run the show, he seems so meek next to her.
I feel like none of the ladies really had any story lines other then Carole and the ashes, Bethenny returning and Ramona being well Ramona. I couldn’t even tell you how many kids Heather has or what their names are, they really don’t touch much on the families in this show.
I didn’t understand all the drama about the dress, send her a bill, call it done. I watched most of the episode on FF, I found it very boring.
Perhaps this is why I like the rh of ny alot….minimal family involvement. The ladies are why we watch…the families are really pushing it. Most of.them are boring and stupid and NOT camera ready. Please spare us!
I feel like Kristen was back because she came on so strong in last year’s reunion. I know no one likes her, but I do…
What about Sonja’s one-liners? She had me cracking up! She also seemed to be trashing on Ramona, or at least making jokes at her expense.
Yeah, Andy, does the seating arrangement have any meaning or not? Decide!
Am I the only one who doesn’t think its a big deal Ramona stole a dress? Bethenny’s show was a joke, they barely paid their guests, and Ramona did her a huge favor for even going on. Let her take the damn dress! As Ramon’s said, the shows now canceled. So who cares?
I think it’s a HUGE fucking deal that Ramona stole the dresses. Completely outrageous.
Then lying about it (“it’s in the trunk”… “wait, no I lost it”). Then being photographed in it later.
What a selfish little liar. And even at the reunion “Actually, I meant to bring them tonight”.
She is a liar. And if anyone stole my shit and kept it hostage, I would be done with them.
That’s Ramona for ya, she doesn’t care. She wanted the dress, she kept it, and somehow even managed to get another one out of the deal. She really seems clueless in her sense of entitlement. Should she have given the dress back? Of course, but she didn’t and Bethenny has to suck it up. I’m glad that Bethenny went to such lengths to tell the true story of the dress though and exposed her for what really went down. It really didn’t faze Ramona because like I said, Ramona doesn’t care. There’s really not much you can do with someone that just doesn’t care, except never loan them anything EVER again.
It just speaks volumes about her character. She is exactly who we see on TV. No question about it. My dogs have more self-awareness than she does.
Pip,
I do not think it is nice to compare your dogs to Ramona.
It does a serious dis-service to dogs and makes no distinction among bitches.
I agree…how expensive could the dress have been? It wasn’t a gown…I’m not saying it’s okay she kept it but why not just bill her and call it done? I didn’t understand why she sent a second dress over to her and why did the assistant leave the dress if no one answered the door? Very confusing.
Yes! Just bill her! Obviously stealing isn’t OK, but she did a favor coming on Bethennys terrible show, and Bethenny is complaining about the incident after the show is canceled. Just let it go. And don’t let her in your closet.
Bethenny said on the fashion show episode that each dress was around 500 and Ramona should write a 1k check to dress for success if she insists on keeping them.
It’s really not about the dresses, Bethenny has repeatedly called Ramona out on her entitlement issues- how she just doesn’t give a shit about others and steps on people/is rude, in getting what she wants. So when someone who is inconsiderate, entitled, and arrogant repeatedly behaves that way AND then takes your things with no care or regard for the fact they don’t belong to them, yea, I get her being upset. Who does Ramona think she is that she can just take things, lie, and not give peoples’ things back?
Same thing as when she comes into the vacation house commandeering bedrooms, or decides on a whim while bethenny is already cooking the group lunch that she wants to go out to eat lol- entitlement and disregard for others.
I don’t see how the show being cancelled or what they did or didn’t pay guests has to do with the fact that she was lent a dress (because she spilled wine on hers) and decided to keep it- while lying repeatedly about having it still. If you think you should be paid to be on the show, then demand it or don’t go- don’t go, accept a loaned dress, and lie to keep it afterward because you feel you’re “owed” it somehow for gracing the show with your presence lol
I don’t think any of us would ever do that, nevermind be shady if we were asked to please return it.
I have a love hate relationship (in my mind) with all of these women. Right now, I love Ramona, she’s fun and dingy and most of the time you can see right through her. I’m hating Bethany right now. She is an annoying know-it-all. I did notice she was taking over the reunion. I also noticed that she must have gotten fillers in her face as she looks less like Skeletor right now. Did you guys see Sonja check herself when she got caught laughing on camera. It was pretty funny. It reminded me of Kanye. I love Sonja but she gets kind of creepy. Maybe I’m just a prude. What the hell is wrong with LuAnn? OMG Somebody shoved that stick back up her ass, right? I’m bored with Heather. I thought Dorinda was funny as hell when she was going crazy to Krysten. “Did you call 911?” OKay, talking too much. Can’t help it this sight is so fun! I love everyone’s comments!! You guys are hilarious!!!!
To me it looked like Bethenny possibly has gained a few pounds. She does look much better and healthier now than during filming, stress can do that to you though. I thought Dorinda acted like a classless ass for the most part. I have a friend who gets like John does when she drinks, she is all grabby at everyones husbands and boyfriends and on occasion she has tried to kiss all her friends. Never once though has her husband defended the behavior, he is ashamed of it and tries to get her out the door and home.
I thought about weight gain, but if you look at Bethany’s shoulder’s and arms they are almost Madonna gross thin still, so I am still betting on fillers in the face. But who cares right? She does look better.
I think she had some work done. Fillers/Botox
Their dresses instantly struck me as bad holiday ideas:
Ramona – ’60s aluminum Christmas tree
Luann – wrapped in sparkly, stiff, wire-edged ribbon
Dorinda – New Years eve disco ball
Sonja – shiny foil wrapping paper
Kristen – ugly Christmas tree skirt
Heather – last Christmas tree on the lot, the one with the bald spot turned toward the wall
Carole – wearing the top to Bethenney’s pants as a dress
Bethenney – perfect for the occasion
It was ridiculous on last night’s part 3 when Luann said “this dress is from my collection, don’t you like it?” and sonja’s all like “it’s beautiful” lmao, gag. That dress was horrendous.
I f’d up my back (pulled something, twisted something… I don’t know). Anyway I am laying in bed rewatching the first season of RHNY right now. I haven’t watched since it originally aired all those seasons ago.
If any of you have time, get Hulu and watch these. I forgot how pretentious they were in the beginning. Alex and Simon are cringeworthy and Ramona looks like a 40 year old teenager with her bad hair and fashion.
Definitely worth a rewatch.
FYI, I probably won’t recap RHONY until tomorrow. Way too much happening at 9 tonight.

I love season 1 of nyc. They all look normal. Wear normal clothes. Have normal friendships.
I also love Sonja’s first episode when she sidles up next to the ladies at a function. I love how new cast members used to just appear.
OMG! I am almost finished with Season 1 and I forgot how hilarious Simon and Alex were. So pretentious, but sad because they are so obvious! This season was everything. I really had forgotten.
You guys really have to rewatch this.
I’ve been watching Season 1, too. I’m just moving into season 2…the biggest thing I’ve taken from it is that Luann is a complete hypocrite who can’t keep storyline lies straight. Everything she is doing now in her dating life, she once chastised the other girls for even THINKING about or DISCUSSING . It makes the false indignation she has for Radziwill ring all the more hollow…she’s just laying it on waaaay too thick for me this season and I’ve had a hard time liking her beyond one or two good one-liners.
TT, love the tag line but prefer it in cursive writing!
Good point Gabriella. I’ll see if Chay can fix that for me.

Bethenny is always quick and witty but her calling Ramona out on her horrendous behavior was laughable. She needs to rewind tape while looking in the mirror.
