Tonight Luann DeLesseps and Erika Jayne are hosting a Halloween party tonight at Manor 849! What an epic pairing! It’s a big shindig and the tickets are $250. I don’t think Bravo cameras will be there. Erika Jayne is doing a live performance sometime after midnight.
Filming has started, at least a little bit of filming but as usual only Bethenny, Dorinda, Tinsley and Luann are showing up to work. Sonja and Ramona are doing their usual holdout for more money. Last season’s RHONY was number one in their time slot on cable and this will have resulted in a bigger budget, so these two think they should get more than their usual 10% raise.
My understanding of the situation is that they are playing a dangerous game. Both of them were very lucky to get a pick up letter for the upcoming season. They should be thanking their lucky stars. My sources tell me that producers have other options waiting in the wings and their patience is running very thin.
I just trashed a post I started about Ramona not having a storyline at all this season after Page Six ran yet another article about her talking about how sad she is over Luann’s divorce. It seems all any of the RHONY do lately is talk about Luann. I hope Luann and Tinsley commiserate about the demise of their relationship.
Will these two blonds shoot themselves in the foot?
I hope it won’t be a season of bashing Luann with I told you so’s. Ramona and Sonya have nothing going on.
I could do very well indeed without Sonja & Ramona forever. STRIKE, girls, STRIKE!
Indeed! Hold out forever, old bags! Bravo owes you a million per episode!
I agree! I can’t stand either one of those losers.
I would think they would be concerned how easily Tinsley popped in the season without any past housewives franchise, and fitting in so easily. She was much more entertaining than either Sonja or Ramona, and I think outdid them both.
She came across very comfortable and I don’t know but seems like Tinsley was a yes all along for a second season. Sonja, and Ramona really need to be FOH’s. Time is up. They just try to hard, and it’s showing.
Buh bye, Sonja. I’m sick of her and her fake storylines. I’d miss Ramona a little because she is really just crazy Ramona. And she’s an OG.
She’s an OG but she’s also a truly awful person.
I could easily do without seeing either of them, and if they kept only one, I find Sonja less offensive than Ramona. The HW’s franchises remind me a little of American Idol(sounds strange, I know but there is a train of thought here!). In the beginning of Idol everyone loved all “the crazy” and all Simon’s means remarks to the crazy, but as time went on it got boring to watch and it showed in their ratings, then came along The Voice, and the judges actually seemed to care and root for the contestants, and people flocked to it. Housewives was the same, I loved when I first discovered the OC where people not only had money and seemingly amazing lifestyles, but also had no qualms with letting their own crazy and mean hang out for the world to see! But as the years and franchises have gone on, it’s become same mean shit, different city! It’s hard to make myself watch unless nothing else good is on. I think that’s why Tinsley and Lydia have been refreshing(albeit a bit kooky!). There’s enough negative in everyone’s everyday life, why watch hours more- I’d much rather watch someone who is kind and not totally out for themselves. Even tho I have always been a Bethenny fan, I certainly enjoyed her more this season than the previous one, where she wore her misery on her sleeve. Of course, I don’t mean Mary Poppins where all is wonderful, they have to have some strife to keep it interesting. Maybe just a bit more balanced and a bit less narcissistic evilness!
If Soon-ya and Ramona come back I think I’m done with this franchise.
They need to be put out to pasture and Ramona was beyond horrible last season.
i hate when they do this. RHONY is truly at it’s best when they’re all filming together
Funny how things cycle. Bethenny and Luann carried the last season, with supporting players Dorinda and Tinsley. Ramona and Sonja just dithered around looking foolish and superfluous. wish so much they’d dump Ramona and Sonja and get some fresh faces. Any idea how much they are making per season?
The producers should demote both and have R and S be FOH. That would teach them a lesson. Everyone needs to eat some humble pie especially Ramona, that woman is…Sonja is deluded and it’s sad but hilarious to watch at times.
Sonia and Ramona are way past their prime on HONY – it’s time to move on!
Tamara, Was there anything mentioned about Carol? You know, that other chick.
Who? I totally forgot about her. Yes she is back. Not sure if she filmed anything yet.
You know they will all be back. The ratings were good last season.
Maybe they will film her running the marathon next weekend.
Whaaaaat….Carol is back? What was her storyline last season? Or the one before that?
I used to like her, her wry wit and intelligence was a good foil for the Ronja craziness…..then she became Bethenny’s acolyte and it’s been downhill since.
She needs the boot, as well. The most hilarious thing last season was when drunk Ramona got right up in her face and yelled “BOOOORING!”
They’ll bring them both back. I could very easily get along without seeing Ramona any more – she’s as nutty as our upcoming Christmas fruit cakes, but, despite having very little in the way of a story line, is entertaining. By entertaining, I mean that she is guaranteed to act inappropriately, act cluelessly as to how out of line a lot of her remarks are, and treat people like they are put on this earth to take care of her needs.Sonja also has very little going on in her life, apart from her random hookups and constant name-dropping; however, she isn’t a mean girl and has a good sense of humor. Unless they demand amounts which create impossible precedents for the future, we’ll see them this year.
I have to say that this group of ladies are my favorite! They’re the perfect mix of crazy and fun! Watching the OC ladies in Iceland was so boring, it really made me miss the NY ladies (even though not a single one of them are housewives) No one is more obsessed with Leanne’s divorce than Andy Cohen. He never misses the chance to ask his wwhl guests if they were surprised by it. It’s ridiculous.
Everything you said! Love N.Y. best. A.C. is an idiot defy obsessed with Lu.
I’m soooo over Sonja and Ramona. But I bet Luann’s divorce will guarantee them a spot next season. I can’t wait
Both of them are a waste of Bravo money
I get such second hand embarrassment for those 2. They are so desperate it’s cringeworthy.
I would tune into the show to see Ramona age graciously! Yeah, like that’s going to happen.
I think they should offer both of them a FOH contract. Sonja will take it because she’s desperate for the money. She doesn’t have any real storylines so she’s really only on the show to attend everyone else’s events. I don’t think she will ever really get her life together so we’ll just still see her at events but not have to deal with her BS storylines. Ramona will turn it down, but it will depend on whether her ego or her intelligence win out, if she figures out why she was canned and makes the changes she needs to in order to get back on the show, or continues living in the delusion that it’s always everyone else’s fault.
I think being demoted was good for Luann, it made her more humble. Bethenny came back with a new appreciation for the show and what is needed to keep it good.
Now who do I see about getting Vicki G off OC?
Sonya’s stories have been manufactured for several seasons – “fiancé” Harry, last season she has a “blind date” with Rocco who this season we find out is a very long time friend, Frenchie is from central casting. Let her be an FOH and show up to the parties where she’s the most fun any way.
Ramona is the Shannon of RHONY. She needs to get off the camera, have daily therapy & learn that life is more than made-for-TV friendships.
I wouldn’t miss Sonja or Ramona. Season 3 Sonja was was my favorite along with Bethenny and after this last season I’m over her, she’s better as FOH.
I never cared for Ramona and during the reunion when she kept wanting to speak about her marriage issues and divorce from Mario, I kept thinking it’s too late to want to open up now. She’s never been open about her cheating Mario yet she dragged Luann for two seasons over cheating Tom.
I hope Bravo demote them both and focus more on the women with lives that are sincerely interesting and not manufactured like Sonja’s or dependant on trashing their cast mates like Ramona who would have no storyline without trashing Luann or starting fights Bethenny.
The show sucks without those used up hos. ? Get your dollars, ladies.
I like Ramona. Yes she’s crazy and offensive but she’s always been that way since season 1. At least she’s not morally corrupt insane like Vicky from OC.
I thought the producers or castmates wanted a person of color on the show?
Bravo needs to keep them. Bethany cannot handle any new people due to her trust issues. She might as well deal with these two jealous ladies than add to her haters list.
Besides Sonja and Romona are funny together, they will stir the pot and subject themselves to anal/vaginal probing with foreign objects as directed. I don’t know, maybe money isn’t what is holding up their contracts…say no to the eggs and colonoscopy, please.
Much as I find them a huge embarrassment, much as they are disgusting representatives of this country as they travel, much as they are pain the butt egocentric, lost souls, Ramona without grace ,dignity, intelligence, or an ounce of empathy/wisdom/maturity or dimension, the truth is Ramona and Sonja do have a place on the show.
The proof of it was the disgusting search for rooms in Mexico last season. Every single moment of their search showed their selfish, ugly, self indulgent, unacceptable ways, but it added a good deal to the trip- for the pure humor of their ugly arrogance . It was offensive beyond measure, but there are elements of stupidity, pure rudeness and guilt, done in quirky ways that become somehow momentarily endearing- though I could not quite explain how.
They each represent a segment of NY society, they each play a role in that world, and as such are part of the milieu,. Sonja’s arrogant treatment of Tinsley, while living without heat ,is an example as she orders her around about using the interns. It is infernally obnoxious, completely misunderstanding her role, yet reflective of her self-impression and need to see herself in that light. Sad yet real.. Indulged because no one wants to hurt her any further. And, as such, honest and touching. Same with Ramona- lost as a single woman, hurting others as she has been hurt, sad, lonely, and no one wants to hurt her more, despite her ugly mean spirited dreck.
