My inbox is just an endless scrolling of things that need my attention today, I still haven’t made it all the way through them. I meant to look and see if the woman coming on the show tonight was the one I wrote about here a couple of years ago, but I honestly don’t have time to find that story today.
So let’s get started, I am exhausted and I just want to get caught up on Queen Sugar tonight. I love that Carole and Tinsley seem to be bonding. That bodes well for Tinsley’s future on this show. If there is a future for this show. The ratings are just okay this season. And Carole introduces Tinsley to her boyfriend! Wait, Tinsley and Carole went to the Winter Wonderland Ball at the Botanical Gardens and all we got were a few seconds of crappy flashbacks? They were both mentioned by The New York Post. Carole wants Tinsley to cut and dye her hair and do a total change. Tinsley says she’s not changing a thing.

These scripted scenes with Sonja and Frenchie are cute, but not worth recapping. I like them though.
Sonja goes to see Rocco in a bakery and bar in Hoboken, NJ. She feels that since Frenchie knows about Rocco, Rocco needs to know about Frenchie. I think Sonja needs to marry Rocco. I would probably marry Rocco and I am anti marriage (for me, not everyone else). He seems fun. Sonja basically says about Frenchie, “shit happens.”
Every time Ramona talks I feel like she is impersonating Amy Phillips. Ramona is having a party to show off her newly renovated apartment.
Adam has moved out of Carole’s apartment. Carole is thrilled because she “lives in a small apartment.” It is certainly not small by NYC standards.
Tinsley looks at two apartments that are both around $9,000. The downtown apartment was awful and the UES apartment was gorgeous. There is no contest. Tinsley’s mother is quiet the character. Tinsley has a panic attack thinking about moving. THAT I can relate to. As much as I want to get the hell out of here, the logistics of doing it is overwhelming.
No one likes the cameras more than Bethenny and Fredrik. I’d like to mock the egotism feeding that, but I actually love them together. I like Bethenny when she is with someone on her level. Fredrik insists that Bethenny demolish the $40,000 bar in Bethenny’s living room. I agree with Fredrik.
Carole and Dorinda go to the women’s march in DC. I know y’all are over the politics. I get it. I still think this is an amazing moment in herstory and I am glad they are showing it. I can’t believe Carole didn’t have a pussy hat. It was of course a pointless event. But I’m glad all those women felt heard.
I think Ramona’s apartment looks amazing but who styled her in that ponytail. It looks like she is going bald from stress. Of course, Carole, the girls’ girl points all of this out in her confessional along with saying essentially that the decor was too youthful to reflect Ramona’s true style. Tinsley brings her mother, Dale. I watched a bit of Tinsley’s old reality show as research when I saw her coming on RHONY. Dale is a hot mess and a huge attention seeker masked by a lot of pretentiousness and manners. So when she tells Sonja her hair looks great, I mean. She is shady on the down low. I kind of love it. Speaking of manners, Dorinda brings a hostess gift, the traditional housewives scented candle that has been passed around like so many fruitcakes during the holiday season. Nothing says I don’t like you like giving someone a scented candle. She too comments on Ramona’s severe, trying to hard to be edgy at 60 look.

Oh look it’s Harry, the male whore of the show before Tom showed up. Ramona gives him an uncomfortable Eden hug. Harry says, “What’s with the hair? And the boob? Jesus Christ!” Jesus indeed, Harry. Tinsley immediately let’s Harry know her mother is present at the party. Apparently, they go way back. And Tinsley is apparently friends with Kelly Bensimon. Oh please bring her back as a friend who goes on vacation with the girls. Please. It’s been long enough now we’ve all recovered. Harry says that Tinsley’s necklace, looks lovely on her chest. Tinsley is offended. Her mom thinks Harry is funny. Sonja is pissed that Ramona didn’t tell her she invited Harry.
Bethenny refused to attend this shindig. Ramona still defends her behavior toward Bethenny to Carole.
Ramona invited Missy, Tom’s ex to her party. Because she is a huge cunt. I think everyone she does things like this to should refuse to film with her. I’m good with Bethenny not filming with her, I don’t think Dorinda should film with her, and I sure don’t think Luann needs to film with her. This is ridiculous.
So when Missy walks in, Tom is in an awkward situation. He tells Luann that she has met Missy once before at the Regency. How much does Bravo get paid to mention the Regency? Harry is also there to stir the shit pot. He and Missy have a conversation where it is clear Harry is trying to make Tom look bad and Missy is butt hurt she didn’t get to marry him.
Much has been made, and by much I mean an article in People solely about this conversation between Tom and Missy. She makes a snarky comment about his wedding ring. He says “I know, I’m getting used to it. It’s like a dog with a collar.” Um, this is a great analogy. I don’t see how this is the negative thing that story made it out to be. Luann tamed the life long bachelor. I think anyone getting married at 50 would say it would be a change they are getting used to. Luann asks Tom who Missy is, he gives her an honest answer. Then he says she is really happy for them. That last part might be an exaggeration, but I think it was a great response. Luann in confessional says she is still friends with her exes. Luann is the easy going gal Tom needs. She hardly has him on a leash. She just has some electric fencing up way on the outskirts of their relationship. He has plenty of room to roam.
Ramona’s plan backfires again. Luann is unbothered and happy.
Next Week: Everyone goes to Stratton. Because Bethenny needs a couple of mountains between her and Ramona. Tinsley has some TV therapy that seems all too real this time. Bethenny gives Tinsley some harsh advice about living with Sonja. Sonja insults Luann. It looks like a complete shit show.
Ramona looks terrible and acts worse. Go Luann!
Ramona’s hair in that ponytail, ouch! (She looked much better on WWHL). Sonja should dump Frenchie (who’s just using her as a hotel) & marry Rocco. If Tinsley doesn’t rent that apartment on the UES, I want it. Even though the West Village is much cooler.
I’d love that place too! The building had so much character and 1,500 sq Ft is HUGE for a NYC apt. The $9,000 per/month might present a slight problem for me though, seeing how I don’t have “family money” to cover such incidentals. Lol
Funniest line on the show when someone broke something in Ramonas new decor and Sonja says “don’t worry it’s just 22.99” lol that’s why I love Sonja and her one liners
Nope, never going to be over Kelly Bensimon and her tiny asshat jogging down the center of NYC streets blocking traffic. Had a physical gag reflex everytime she greeted people with Hiiieeeeee. Ugh NO. Put Kelly and Aviva Drescher in a room and poof, I guarantee it will usher in the End Times.
Really do think Luann looked beautiful in this episode.
Agreed, Lu looked stunning and she did a good job handling an awkward situation.
Aviva is also a gaggy memory for me, as well. I thought it was pretty funny when they went down the list of people he dated or “hung out with” with a RHONY connection, they left out the woman he actually married and had a child with. She must *really* be persona non grata with Bravo.
Please not crazy Kelly!
Ramona was serving Angelica’s Mom from the Rugrats ponytail realness tonight on the runway lol!
Anyone else been getting a ‘beginning of the end’ vibe from Carole and Adam this whole season?
Yes. At least she has a few good summers left for someone else.
I think living together really made it clear that they couldn’t have a serious relationship in the long term. I don’t doubt that they love each other but it was doomed from the start. They’ve both let it go on longer than they should, and it will hurt all the more when it ends.
Carole may just be hitting the 3 year wall. I read somewhere that men are happy to have sex with the woman they’re with because they are a woman and they are there. Women however get bored in year three if here’s no further need to procreate. Men think women aren’t so interested in sex after a few years of marriage, when the are actually plenty interested in sex with someone new..
NOT Angelica’s mom! LMAO
I agree, I loved watching them at the women’s march. glad they showed that
Carole likes relationships with expiration dates. She made that very clear in a convo that she had with Beth last season. Maybe she just wants her space back, which I can understand. Or wants to take her career back to where it once was. I watched a clip of an interwiew that she had with a debut fiction writer, and it was great, i shall seek out the book for summer reading, a story that takes place in the Hamptons. Or perhaps she just wants to have a more established man in her life, either way she is handling it like a pro. I think that she understood from day one, that Adam would be pursuing the hopes and dreams of a young man. This season I have been so happy to root for her again.
“Luann is unbothered and happy.” That’s why I love Luann, she always walks away with her head up no matter how mean the women are to her.
Also I don’t understand why the ratings are just okay for RHONY. They are by far my favorite franchise now…I even like Bethenny this season.
Actually, I had a different reaction- she said something as she arrived about how nice it is to be in the room and know everyone supports her marriage. It dawned on me that it was probably the first event she attended that didn’t revolve around her wedding, she knew many in the crowd had their doubts but said that anyway to show she is still thinking it all revolves around her. And then it turned out that Missy was there, and Ramona and Harry had tried to make Luann miserable.
It was lousy of both of them, and if I was Luann, I’d have been as frustrated as she appeared to be. When MIssy mentioned not wanting to be on her bad side, or the victim of her wrath, and the angry eyes( not well
cited), I thought she read that correctly. While Luann does not show her reactions in public, that double cheek kiss at the end ( to Missy) was one of success, not affection. Luann showed her concern and the producers caught it, but she recovered quite quickly. But if I was Luann, knowing the history, I would be concerned about Tom’s comment about the ring-I hear you TT, but he seemed to be complaining just a bit too much. ,
Sabrina I share your perspective. I didn’t think Luann appeared calm I think she it was all of years of practice at plastering on that semi-poker face that got her through that party. I’ve never been a huge Luann fan but I do think they need to give her a break and let the Tom thing go. We all see him and their relationship for what it is and if Lu’s happy with it then Ramona needs to let it go.
Besides, Ramona would have lost her mind had Luann treated her this way when Mario was cheating. One of the reasons I’ve never cared for Ramona, hypocrite to the end!
And I agree with that, completely. The camera men were aware of Mario’s proclivities during season one and Ramona was using far too many words appearing to be blind when she was no such thing, she was hoping and praying.
Luann made her choices, we all do know what they are, and enough already Ramona. She comes across as damaged, still hurting and anxious to hurt others, by proving her points about how vulnerable others are, especially about men.
We called Ramona other terms-inappropriate, not socially apt, arrogant and demanding, etc.before the divorce, but she was not openly trying to hurt other women, or so desperate to find men who find her attractive. Nor did she need to prove whatever point she was making so wildly.
Now she is manipulative, bitter, hostile, and rude to “friends” like Bethenny and Luanne.
But I remember her differently; at one point Ramona was coaching Bethenny about how to handle her father’s death and how she felt as hers died. She was more grounded, more giving. more caring, more mature. And she had a daughter whose attitudes and influences mattered to her. Now Ramona has lost her grounding in Mario and their marriage, and appears to be utterly lost and miserable while hurting others deliberately , until someone helps her settle back into who she is if that even exists anymore.
The problem with that is that it was her vulnerability and quiet wisdom, and lovely giving nature that made her attractive- this part is not. And will not attract any solid, grounded, attractive men.
It appears that Sonja has returned to the world that she was in before meeting John Morgan, and is in it again, twenty years older. Now Luanne, Ramona ,Dorinda , Carole, and Tinsley are all in the same pond. As could be Bethenny, though she seems to go out of her way to stay away from that crowd. Luanne hopes she is out of it for good-we’ll see how it treats the others.
It does not appear to be helping most of them- the desperation is showing – and growing.
Well said Sabrina, I agree with everything you’ve written.
What she said
I don’t remember that earlier version of Ramona; she was always competing, seeking attention, (turtle time flirtations, cameras allowed to film directly at her hoo-hah during cosmetic surgery), belittling castmates with digs she didn’t bother to veil, jumping up from the couch during reunions to march off because she couldn’t stand to sit and listen to others. Her saving grace was she loved her daughter then and loves her now.
It feels to me that her divorce or the absence of Mario has simply ramped up the same ol’ Ramona to a higher decibel. She is who she has always been but louder.
@spk – yup. The convo with Beth on the bridge; going on about Lu’s “old” husband, leaving Jill’s dinner party because Simon showed up – ok, I can’t blame her there – dissing Kodak at Jill’s promo event, playing the ugly American in Morocco, tossing a glass at Kristen and threatening her with an oar, blah, blah, blah. She’s always had a mean streak a mile wide, and you’re right, the divorce has only exacerbated that streak.
I agree. Ramona has always pretended her hurtful comments were innocent, which is impossible because nobody is that dumb. She definitely has a higher opinion of herself than does anyone else, but it must also include the opinion that nobody else is smart enough to understand how purposeful those comments are.
Tom needs to get his shit together. He wanted Lu to be his wife. He married her and plans to spend his life with her. What he has said on a few episodes indicates that while he may have some successful social skills with women, his skills as as husband are in need of a tune up. After anyone has been single for a good number of years, it takes time to adjust to thinking as being part of a couple. Of course having both Lu and Tom being surrounded by low class naysayers for the sake of a reality show does not help. But it may surprisingly be very good for their relationship in the long run.
Ramona looked really butch at her party. Hard and edgy doesn’t work for ol’ Mona. She’s such a disjointed mess.
Tinsley’s going to be interesting. She’s self absorbed, a little temperamental and unfiltered and stuck at 28. While Harry Dubin’s comment on the cross “on her chest” was kind of crass (wasn’t this guy married to Aviva for a few minutes?) she didn’t mind showing her irritation with his comment and towing Mommy away in a huff. So far I like her.
High time for Carole to cycle off the show. And yeah….beginning of the end for Adam/Carole.
It looked like her mother wanted to stay and play with Harry Dubin. Tinsley had to pull her ‘mummie’ away. Yes, he was married to Aviva; that’s why he needed lots of girlfriends.
Too bad all of Sonja’s scenes weren’t deleted.
I like the friendship forming being Tinsley and Carole. Carole seems to have a knack for attaching herself to the type of personalities that get a lot of camera time i.e Heather & Bethenny but I do think her friendships with these women are genuine. I hope Tinsley’s mom Dale is on the show more, she’s funny.
Production should have shown more of the Winter Wonderland Ball at the Botanical Gardens. I read about it in the Post and other places. I think the fact that Tinsley was invited and she and Carole were in the press is one of the reasons Sonja continues to loose her mind on Tinsely. I think when Carole introduces Tinsley to her current wealthy boyfriend, Sonja will really loose it so Tins needs to listen to Carole and Bethenny and move out already unless her contract has trapped her there for the season.
I wish Sonja would marry Rocco. I miss that fun Sonja from season 3.
I agree with Tamara that both Luann and Dorinda should refuse to film with Ramona.
Bethenny is better this season and I wish she could film with Bryn. The mother/daughter scenes are often some of the best for these women, even Ramona.
Ramona looked awful. There is nothing worse than an older woman trying to look 30 again. That outfit and hair were ridiculous and made her look even crazier than she is. I like Carol and Tinsley together but I have a flag up about her mom. I believe she’s thirsty.
Tinsley’s mom is not only thirsty, she is bat shit crazy. I watched them on an episode of Dr. Phil and I’m amazed Phil didn’t pull out a lovely, designer straight jacket for Dale. She’s a special one!
Oohhh, what were they on for? I missed that.
I think it was two parter about mother’s being over involved in their children’s lives. It was on a few years ago and it was good entertainment. You can still find it on youtube
Ramona, is so unhappy with her own life and jealous LuAnn is happy; hence trying to cause drama by inviting Missy to her housewarming/party. She’s so mean; hence Bethenny wanting nothing to do with her. I’m so happy LuAnn was unbothered and kept it moving.
Ramona’s ponytail was a total fail, it made her look harsh (like her personality), and aged her.
I like Tinsley, and hope therapy helps.
Yes, it does look like Carole and Adam days together are coming to completion.
Sonja need to get herself all the way together.
And Harry is a totally, creep. Ugh!
And if he also had relationships with Kelly B and Tinsley, as it appeared last night, he certainly is the winner of the RHNY sexcapades. ( Add Aviva, who he married, Luann, and Sonja) That is quite pitiful, really.
I believe Tinsley said, she wouldn’t touch Harry with a ten foot pole.
I can’t believe someone actually styled Ramona’s hair that way on purpose, they must hate her. I’m getting a headache just looking at how tightly that hair is pulled, it’s like an instant (awful) facelift.
Agree!
Ramona on wwhl looked sadly like trying to look 30.. Jackie Hoffman aka “Mamacita” was so funny. Ramona seemed to even piss Andy off at one point.
I think it was a last-minute remedy to a hair disaster. She didn’t have any extensions in. The pony tail part was a scraggly mess of damaged hair. It was pulled back too tightly. I wonder if there was an issue with her extensions or she couldn’t get them done in time for the party. In most of the shots, she looked like she just came from the gym, but with a lot of make up on. The top of her dress looked like a sports bra/tank top and her hair looked sweaty. Bless her heart. I think looking a fool on TV was the karma for inviting Missy.
Completely agree – that mess was all her own hair, not the bundles she normally attaches. Something hints to me that Ramona is pinching pennies after her divorce – between that bad hair and her telling Sonja about all of the bargains she got by doing it herself (translation: “couldn’t afford to pay a designer”). Maybe she’s not far from the Grey Gardens she’s been trying to paint of Sonja all these years.
An emergency bun or topknot has always served me well when hair is being unmanageable. She would’ve been far better off simply putting it up loosely/simply. I swear my scalp hurts if I make my bun/ponytail even slightly tight, I have no idea how she was functioning lol
Before I watch (and by the way, thanks for so many new posts this morning, lots of great stuff), I think you hit the nail on the head with Ramona has become a character instead of authentic. That’s exactly it, and why she’s annoying as fuck, cause she’s not Amy Phillips. And Amy Phillips doesn’t need material on Ramona, I’m pretty sure.
I’ve always thought Ramona was completely fake and “a character”. Thinking back to the early seasons when she was walking around her pool in the Hamptons in high heels and always upsetting Avery by trying to be 20 years younger than she was. I don’t think Ramona has ever been comfortable with herself and I think the divorce really threw her for a loop. Now she’s 60, trying to pretend she’s 30 when she should be happy that, most of the time, she only looks 50. All the stuff she’s had done to her face seems to be backfiring on her now though. When Ramona has nothing but small slits for eyes, you KNOW something was over done.
Lol, wasn’t she a fitness model and tried to be an actress, along with Sonja? (In their twenties). So sad seeing women unable to age. Can’t stop it. Personally, I am okay with it, care a lot less about a lot of things, working great for me, a lot better off than twenty years ago. Must be the not giving two shits part.
Isn’t it weird that the older Ramona gets, the more she looks like Avery. It’s like she asked for Botox and filler’s and plastic surgery to look like her daughter.
TT, I think you are being a leeeeetle too generous with Tom and his “jokes” prior to and just after the wedding. They are a little jerky, especially when quasi-flirting with an old flame to hint that he’s not totally reigned in. I don’t think they mean that much, but there is a slight hostile edge to it, especially when he knows he’s being filmed.
I agree. If you know you’re being filmed and all of this is public, and you’ve already hurt and humiliated your fiance by making out with some random at a local bar, you would think you’d leave the tongue in cheek jokes at home. Maybe they are benign, but if I was a woman who chose to stay with a man who cheated on me during our engagement and made a public spectacle of our relationship, I would expect more consideration than jokes like that. Little too touchy for me.
Ramona looked like a Robert Palmer backup dancer.
It will be sad when Adam bolts, all Carol will have as a story line is that goddamn raggedy couch.
I chuckled to myself as she described how HISTORIC this couch really was because it was made by the same person who designed the Kennedy White House furniture. All I could think of was why she’d let such an heirloom be ripped to shreds by kittens if it was so valuable and dear to her.
I thought Carole telling Tinsley to basically get a makeover was pretty nervy. It’s like something a Mother would say. Tinsley took it well and just said nah, not changing a thing. No drama, how refreshing. I agree I like Bethany better filming with Fredrik. She knows he is a no bull-shit guy, and just as blunt as she is. Maybe it’s just me but I love Sonja’s house. From the entrance to all the space, it’s great. Maybe it needs some fixing up but I would love to live there.
Speaking of Bethenny, I know things are expensive in New York, but somewhere there’s a decorator laughing their ass off over charging $40 THOUSAND for that lame-ass bar. What the actual fuck?
I agree!! The bar was ugly and I could buy a nice (much needed!) new car with that kind of dough! Rich people kill me. ? I am finding Beth especially hard to stomach this season.
Luanne really wanted a nyc home again after losing the townhouse in her divorce and tom it seems, really wants to be on rhonyc! after all, luanne was his 3rd housewife. he will never change his spots marrying at 50! no matter how hard luanne tries to convince everyone that everything is perfect and they had such a wonderful wedding and now marriage. i can see she has him on a very short leasch!! and her guard is always up. bethenny is just evil to the core, after the way she slammed luanne last year – everyone seems scared of her and gives her a pass. bethenny and carole are always shown talking s–t about everyone even though they were just nice to their face and maybe apologetic. they are both passive aggressive and love to see others unhappy.
Well I am still really liking Tinsley! Yes she is a spoiled debutante who has yet to grow up, but she is just so friendly and fun and seems to actually be a girl’s girl unlike Carole! I was so annoyed with her for criticizing Tinsley’s appearance. It was insulting and condescending. That UES apartment Tins looked at was so gorgeous! Ramona looked silly with that ponytail but she looked even worse on WWHL last night!
She is way too old for those long extensions. Can’t she find a happy medium between Barbie doll extensions and anorexic ponytails? She looks AMAZING for 60 but her tacky hair and clothes ruin it. Her treatment of LuAnn is awful. I don’t think that marriages has a chance in hell either but that’s Lu’s business. She’s a grown ass woman who made her choice now leave her be! Ramona needs to get a life.
Next week looks entertaining with Dorinda going off on Sonja! I love me some turned up Dorinda!
Ramona and her long extensions and high slit skirt! Really.. don’t think she knows how to age gracefully!
Then to make a comment like her new look is all “Make-up” and hair.. ? No one bought that one!
I think she looks absolutely frightening in her interviews.
Oh, that was before I saw her at her party. Ummm. She looks okay in her interviews lol
I have to give Luanne props for gracious behavior. I don’t know why she married this guy, nor do I care. She wanted to be married. Maybe she likes life as a married woman. But Ramona, as usual, is crudely jealous of her “friend’s” happiness, and will do anything to ruin it. But then, I cannot stand Ramona. The entitled elitism of Carole is beginning to grate on me. She assumes everyone in the country has the same
opinions, and she forgets who won the election. I wonder who she thinks watches any of the Housewives shows, it ain’t the entitled elites of New York. It’s we Adorable Deplorables, yup, just we low-class, middle-class, working-class saps out here in fly-over country. Be careful who you alienate.
The country is pretty diverse, as is the Bravo audience, so I don’t think Carole could do “right” by everybody. I’m a progressive and appreciated getting to see more of the Women’s March. Doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
Uh, yea. Thanks, Auntie. I will never call myself an “adorable deplorable.” What an oxymoron. I like Carole’s political activism and find it a refreshing change from the usual housewife self absorption.
Yeah, I agree it does add an interesting layer. And not for nothing, but if you’re watching a show about a certain sub-culture, you can’t ask them not be themselves.
For example,I’m a fan of all those Alaskan backcountry shows. Viewers can usually expect someone to start holding forth about their love of the 2nd Amendment or their hate of Big Government. That’s not my viewpoint, to put it mildly, but it reflects a different mindset and that’s why I’m watching. I’ve got home movies if I want to be totally in the bubble 😉
I’m really surprised that Carole has kittens since she’s always been so meticulously neat about her apartment & cats are notorious for shredding furniture & curtains. BTW, I’m an animal lover & have a dog that drools all over my couch. For anyone interested in interior design trivia, the couch that belonged to Carole’s MIL, Lee Radziwill, was custom made by DeAngelis, a NYC upholstery company that made furniture for Jackie, Lee, etc. The silk velvet fabric is “Le Tigre” by Scalamandre and now retails for $2000/yd. It is freaking gorgeous & if I ever win the lottery, I’m getting 2 throw pillows. Carole should definitely keep the couch, but upholster it in something that’s cat proof. Sorry to see Adam move out, but he never seemed to enjoy being on the show. And this show is hard on relationships.
Amy is spot on. As hard as it is for most to understand, that sofa was the holy grail. It was still in fair condition her first season but unfortunately the fabric became too weak. But that raggedy sofa in Le Tigre still far out classes that tacky remodel of Ramona’s.
Thank you @DancingMatisse, for doing a better job than I did of explaining the significance of Carole’s sofa. There are even design blogs about this sofa, it is that iconic! Lee Radziwill worked with talented designers & she has exquisite taste. I also love Carole’s apartment the best of all RHONY. Her designer really did a great job of capturing her vibe.
Just finished watching. Why is Sonja’s boring ass dating situations being forced on us? I would have much rather watched the winter ball.
I’m only 7mins in, but I keep imagining that”Frenchy” goes home to Nebraska every two weeks to go back to parents house and answer “so how was the job search?” Lol
LOL, Cheryl that is hilarious! “Frenchy” gives me the creeps! He obviously loves being on the show & having a free place to stay.
Twice I’ve heard his accent disappear.
It might not have been Ramona’s best look, but I’m willing to go easy on her for her appearance – it’s better than her behavior. Those high ponytails look best on 18-inch waisted young models with flawless skin and perfect necks, which Ramona is not, but she’s trying. It’s sad to get to 60 and not have developed some kind of sartorial identity, some understanding of what works with your skin and body, and maybe the experimenting will lead her there – so I’ll cut her some slack.
I thought the apartment makeover was an improvement. It obviously wasn’t coordinated by a designer, and she didn’t have a single high-end or custom piece in the entire place (which production contrasted nicely with Bethenny’s bespoke $40k marble bar), but it was tasteful enough and functional and fresh. It’s better than the dusty old junk she had before!
It was funny seeing Chris Leavitt with Tinsley – it made me miss the short-lived Million Dollar Listing Miami. Bravo always seem to fail with their Miami shows.
Thank you, Johnny! It was bugging me, trying to remember where I’d seen Chris before!
I’m not convinced Carole is going to be heartbroken at all. I think she’s happy where she is in her life with or without Adam. I think she’s grounded enough to know that true happiness and fulfillment come from within; they’re not external. But who knows? I do wish she’d fix that couch, though. Create some sort of art piece with the salvageable fabric.
I need more scenes of Bethenny asking Ramona “what’s going on with your face”?
WHERE IS NAA??? HELLOOOOO?!?! OVER HERE…
We need to talk about that little blonde server/model piece at Ramona’s party.
*licks lips*
Omg he was everything
Also $9000 dollars seems REALLY reasonable for that apartment on the UES, seeing as I priced a studio there a couple years ago at £1700 a month. (Which would be over $2k right?)
I mean it was a beautiful period building with hardwood floors, a really good address and a doorman, but it was ONE FUCKING ROOM.
Luann always bothered me with the counters bs, but Ramona is being so ugly, I have come to like Luann and dislike Ramona;more!!
ramona definitely looked her best pre-boob job and her hair looked great a few years back – especially when she and mario remarried. it was much shorter. don’t know what she’s done to her face/eyes but looks weird! carol is there simply to get bf divorce/hate for her ex out!!! and let everyone know how shes suffered and is suffering. bf is there to advertise her awful products. she and jason truly need to be adults — think of bryn watching these shows and googling her parents — it will be here sooner rather than later!!!!
