I cannot wait for RHONY to start. I think it is probably my favorite franchise of the Real Housewives. I really love RHOBH but Dorit has pushed RHONY to the top position for me. The is no one on RHONY that I just can’t abide. Sonja and Ramona annoy me often, especially on trips but they are villains without being so awful that my blood pressure boils and I just can’t really see this cast without any of the current women with the exception of Carole. I’m fine with Carole being on the show and I’d be fine if she left it. She’s kind of a non-factor.
In the marathon of life, loyalty is everything.
I have been trying to tell y’all that Carole and Bethenny had a falling out. I was absolutely positive it was a big deal during Bethenny’s monumental work in Puerto Rico was not supported by Carole.
Dorinda
I have a big heart, but little patience.
Dorinda’s drinking stops being cute this season. And if Tinsley, Ramona or Sonja are part of any sort of “intervention” I predict that will not be well received.
Ramona
Age is an issue of mind over matter: If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter!
Oh dear. Does Ramona have no storyline again? Are we looking at yet another season of Ramona doing some sort of personal makeover? Will there be more parties for the new and improved Ramona AGAIN?
Tinsley
Come on, why cook when I can order room service?!
Will Tinsley living in a hotel be more interesting than he Grey Gardens stint? Probably so. Also he on again off again boyfriend storyline should be juicy.
Sonja
I’m not just a last name. I’m a legacy!
Nope. Even her tagline is a lie.
Bethenny
It’s great to be successful. But it’s even better to B Strong.
She’s always self-promoting. But this time it is for a good cause. I hope we get to see more of her charity work in Puerto Rico.
Luann
The most interesting people make the best headlines!
I suppose Luann will be front and center all season talking about her arrest and the aftermath. And especially how the trip to Buenos Aires was cancelled and they went to Colombia instead and pretended like they almost died.
I am so ready for this premiere! Are you? What do you think of the taglines?
Lu is Queen of RHONY
of course LuAnn and Behthenny’s are my fav!
Tinsley is the worst!
Hey Samael!
I agree with TT, RHONY is the best. I love Tinsley though. She has a very naive and sweet vulnerability about her. Very interesting considering she really was a legit socialite (unlike all the others on the show).
Crazy eyes and Carole are both a bit stale for me. Queen B is deeply floored and therefore interesting to watch. she doesn’t seem to be able to hold a friendship or bf/husband/partner (with anyone) for more than 3 years – on screen and off.
LuAnn is the most hilarious party girl and I think she’s stolen Sonja’s crown in that dept, which is an interesting dynamic to watch.
Sometimes Sonja makes me uncomfortable as she really does seem to be stuck in a decade old past.
Long time no see Stephanie!
I have always liked LuAnn – her smokey voice and her wicked sense of humor! I feel bad for Sonja she seems to get the fuzzy end of the lollipop – the only time I felt she was cringe worthy is the ‘ugly American” behavior.
Ramona seems frantic as usual.
I like that it LuAnn has once again, an built in storyline!
I think the only time I have ever felt positive about Carole – is when she went with Dorinda and they shared their experiences.
Except we won’t have fun, party girl Luann this season. She will be contrite and boring because of her legal problems. Isn’t she forbidden from drinking?
Luann in the rose bush is my all-time favorite Housewives moment. Number 2 is her strutting off of the 4 foot ledge and then rolling into a heap two minutes after falling into the bush. And she laughed the entire time. Priceless!
Just picturing those scenes again as I read your post had me cracking up! I might have to go rewatch. That was the best!
She’s been photographed with wine in her hand so I don’t think she is legally bound to no drinking.
Tinsley’s taglines remind me of Kristen Taekman’s senseless taglines. Anywho. A bunch of older than middle aged women prancing around NYC getting drunk and fxcked should be interestingZzzzzzZZzzzzz
Yes! I’m ready for some good brain numbing television that doesn’t make me want to poke my eyes out every time Dorit and PuKe occupy my television! I can’t even force myself to watch them on demand…I just can’t. I won’t. Besides, I have other, less painful things to do with my time like squeezing the anus glands of a rabid Chihuahua.
I mean, I’m caught up on everything (thank you tt), but I refuse to watch the shit show that is Dorit!
PuKe, lol.
Love the description of D and PK. TT described my feelings about D best when she said she set TT’s blood pressure boiling. Dorit is such a nothing, a cipher, yet her stupid confessionals make me crazy (in additional to her bullshit behavior). Then I scold myself for letting this stupid little twat irritate me.
LuAnn is my favorite. I coud do without Bethenny and Carole – and the taglines that reflect their phony personas.
I like Dorinda’s because it promises something will go down. I like the women who are funny during the talking head segments and she’s one of them. That’s why I like Bethanny and Rinna too.
Love this franchise too! Just hoping there’s no fabricated storylines… these ladies don’t need it. Just watching them live is interesting (alongside their snark).
I wish they would just go back to the quotes from the houswives as their taglines.. “I run with a faaaaabulous group of people!” (trying to quote Jill) That will never happen. I am always looking forward to the show, though!
N.Y. is my absolute favorite too. I feel the exact same way about each of the HW’s on it as well. I don’t know, I get them. Carol is a non factor for me too. But it’s ok. Maybe she will spice it up or come to life this year.
I can’t wait. I LOVE N.Y.!!!!!
Love RHONY! Dorit has killed RHOBH this season.
I’m excited to see what happens with Tinsley and Scott, Bethenny and Carole’s fight, Dorinda’s drinking and her relationship with John AND how Lu Ann bounce back.
I can take or leave Ramona and Sonja and really do not want to see the greasy French Fry Frenchie this season.
Dorit has killed RHOBH for me also.
I honestly don’t think LuAnne has a problem.
What I think is that she was in Palm Beach a year (to the week) after her happy, wonderful wedding week, to the day, and let that get the best of her.
I can’t blame her. I probably would have also gone off the rails.
I’m interested in seeing what exactly happened between Carol and Bethenny. I also hope RHONY was filming when Mario had all that drama with his mistress. I’d LOVE to know what Ramona thought of all that.
I like Luann, but why draw attention to a very low point in her life? Sonja is crazy delusional.
Can I say these might be the worst taglines?
I can’t wait! And I’m with you, TT..there’s no one I really dislike on this franchise. They are the most real and honest IMO and Ramona’s personality is always a storyline all by itself..you never know which way the wind is going to blow with her.
The previews show Dorinda going to Puerto Rico with Bethenny, I can’t wait! While the US news has moved on from Puerto Rico, the island still desperately needs help. I have spent a lot of time in the VI’s which were devastated by Hurricane Irma. Immediately, after that storm cleared the “Puerto Rican Navy” collected tons of donations for the BVI and boated and flew them in, they were the first in with relief there. (The Puerto Rican Navy are not military, but a large group of boaters that spend family vacations in the VI and BVI. They come with their entire extended family and have the best parties I have ever seen. They are very hospitable and welcome anyone to join.) And they were first in to many of the outer islands with water, first aid, and basic emergency supplies. They motored many, many personal boats over at their own expense while the waters where still very dangerously full of floating debris. It was just two weeks later that Maria hit Puerto Rico. I hate to see what has happened in the Caribbean, hate to see the insane bureaucracy that has kept supplies and help away from the folks that need it, hate to see how little outside help has dwindled away while there is still a need.
I thought the taglines were supposed to be original? Ramona’s sure isn’t.
That saying is older than the hills and I’ve seen it attributed to everyone from Mark Twain to Jack Benny to Satchel Paige.
It’s like: Really Ramona? You couldn’t think of anything? You had to recycle an old chestnut and thought nobody would notice?
Hey there erickzku
do you know if RH have ever left their tagline up to twitter followers? I know Kyle Richards did the vote thing one season, boy was that fun! Can’t remember if she ever used the “winner”
NY is the only HW franchise I watch (came back after Jill was fired), & only because of Bethenny (& now Dorinda & Tinsley), I’ve watched Bethenny ever since Martha Stewart passed her over on her one season of her Apprentice show. I even watched her battle it out on ice skates–that girl is a fighter & quite an athlete. Have always pulled for her, as she hasn’t always gotten a fair shake. She’s top dog now, & I’m enjoying that for her. She guests on Shark Tank this season. Dorinda’s problems seem real, but Tinsley’s romantic turmoil seems manufactured for TV–guess she’s not allowed to just be a happy camper. Don’t care a whit about Ramona & the others, just the same ol’ problems–they never seem to learn, & Carol has always been a snooze.
Whoo hoo! NY is back ??
I love NY! Best franchise. So funny, and doesn’t seem as fake as the others. Can’t wair to watch it?
Can’t help myself, Lu has always been my favorite. She has taken beatings from Bethenny and everyone else yet manages to hold her head up. She makes bad decisions publicly, acknowledges and moves on. In her own way, she is much tougher than Bethenny. Divorce, duds or whatever don’t cause her to cry constantly while demanding attention from others. She used her taglune to lughten up what is a serious situation. Good for her.
Ramona is the worst. I wish she had gone when Jill did. How can anyone be so self centered and clueless. Yes Ramona will talk about how good she looks for her age. She could look gook, she is in good shape and has taken care of her skin. If she would check in with her friend Sonja for some styling advice, it would go a long way. You have a gut Ramona, not much of one but it hangs iut in thoe tight satin dresses and bikinis. Ramona has business interest, why do we never hear about them.
I like the rest of the ladies as well but I do wonder what Carole’s storyline will be without a young boyfriend and without her nose up Bethenny’s behind. Even with all of that she is Meh. Show us how you meet deadlines and get books out for heaven’s sake. I would love to see the entire process.
Loving this!
The only one I love is LuAnn’s. B’s is second best.
I don’t know. I mean, I am expecting the worse. My only hope is that I have misunderstood and this season of RHONY is still free from Beck!
The original taglines were the best but I do like LuAnn’s new one. Of course Bethenny is promoting herself. That woman is repulsive and I believe the reason for her charity effort was self promotion.
I have never been a fan of Bethenny’s. Still, no matter the reason Bethenny did give to PR in a very selfless way and I can’t throw shade. Help when ut’s desperately needed is a great thing. She made a huge effort. celebs take any opportunity to get some PR from their charitable efforts. PR is the name of the game. She is due that much at least.
I love NY. I love all the ladies apart from Carole. I really can’t wait for it.
Love NY! I really hope we don’t see Sonja completely lost in her own delusions again. It’s sad to me to watch her spiral, ever so slowing, down the drain.
What ‘legacy’ does Sonja have? She was a slutty 35 year old waitress that married a 68 year old very rich influential man. He divorced her and she continued to slut around New York. The end.
Ramona’s line is almost as bad as the one she had last year. Remember, “I’m an acquired taste. If you don’t like me, acquire some taste.”? Feels like she hires one of Sonja’s interns to browse “Bartlet’s Quotations” for her. Or more likely…she has someone go to Atlantic City to read the slogans off some Boardwalk t-shirt shops.
RHONY And Jersey Shore in the same week? If that doesn’t cause a tsunami on the East Coast, I don’t know what will.
I’m excited. They are hilarious. I love this franchise and no others.
