I’ve been reading some interesting tidbits about the upcoming season. I’m just going to dump them all out her for us to sift through.
Carole says that everyone except Bethenny and Tinsley returned from Columbia with parasites they got from eating bad fish. Bethenny and Tinsley do not eat fish or are allergic to fish and they were fine. This explains why Ramona was in a wheelchair at the airport. Not a single housewife that I know of has confirmed the Page Six story about the sinking boat. They also claimed that Carole and Tinsley were sea sick but as it turns out Tinsley was fine and they weren’t seasick from the rough seas in the bay as much as they were sick in the first place.
Luann told People in an exclusive today that she was drinking seven or more drinks a day at the end of last year. She’d have a martini or two around happy hour, a few glasses of wine with dinner, and sometimes a vodka soda for a nightcap. She is due back in court on Friday the 13th! of this month.
Sonja told E! that we will see what caused the relationship between Bethenny and Carole in the Berkshires! So that will happen very early on. Carole told Page Six that their relationship is not over she just sees Bethenny in a more realistic light now. Carol said, “Our friendship isn’t over, it’s just not what it was. I’m sort of an idealistic person and I sometimes view people idealistically, when I meet them, and now I just see her a little bit more realistically. I think there were some things that were said that I heard that she had said, that I didn’t think were consistent with someone who was a good friend, and the person I knew her to be. I talked to her about it, and she doesn’t like to be confronted so I don’t know how well it went.”
Sonja says that there is one relationship this season that probably is not repairable. I think she is talking about her relationship with Dorinda. Sonja says that her relationship with Dorinda is not good this season. She says Dorinda came out hot right out of the gate and she just kept coming for her. I think Sonja confronts Dorinda about her drinking. I’ve said it before, Sonja is not the best messenger when it comes to drinking. All of the girls on this show drink like fish. Carole seems to drink a bit less than the rest of them. Sonja kind of hints that Dorinda has a lot on her plate this season.
Sonja says she spent the summer on herself. She went to Paris with her daughter and sat in her hotel room stuffing her face. Then she went to Costa Rica for ten days to a “detox.” I believe she was really at a medical retweet for some plastic surgery. She says that she and Ramona are not super close this season. They are still speaking but Ramona has pulled away. She says this season we will see her and Tinsley working through things that were a bit unresolved last season.
Sonja seems to be sucking up to Bethenny and it sounds like she sticks close to her this season.
Ramona says she is closest with Carole and Dorinda at this point because they don’t take themselves too seriously. She says that they are just easy and forgiving friends. Ramona says she is not as close with Sonja anymore. Sonja sent her a text that was truly horrific. She says that they were all there to support Luann and she is doing well. She does say that she is not that close with her because Luann only wants friends when she needs something. Ramona says she saw Tom in Palm Beach in January. I believe this is what caused the rift between them. Ramona has started a skin care line. She says she is not dating anyone on this season she is focused on her business and redoing her house in the Hamptons.
Bethenny, Ramona and Luann were on Megan Kelly this morning. They all look a bit “refreshed.” Ramona seems to have gained some weight and cut her hair off. Bethenny says Andy Cohen didn’t want her on the show because she had been on The Apprentice. They showed a sneak peek at tonight’s episode with everyone in crazy costumes and Bethenny going in on Ramona. Ramona just keeps saying the most outrageous things. She is not lacking for confidence. She says she is a lot calmer this season. Luann keeps looking toward Bethenny like “Can you believe this?”
Luann says about her arrest that she hit the wall running a hundred miles and hour and she fell and got back up and is in such a better place now. Her cabaret show is selling like hotcakes and she is going on a tour soon. Meghan tells Bethenny she heard this was her last season. She seems confused by the rumor, as am I. Bethenny says she will probably come back.
I work night shift and sleep during the day, so didn’t get a chance to watch . Thank you for the tea and the recap! I saw rumors online that Bethenny was “quitting” the show due to her feud with Carole. So I wonder if that’s what Megan was referring to. I really hope Dorinda deals with her drinking issues, I love her and it seems she is a good person .
If I were Dorinda, I would have come for Sonja every which way I could after Sonja started talking about Dorinda doing drugs.
I’m talking scorched earth.
Dorinda handled the “drug” thing the best way possible, by not giving it air. Fighting the accusation only gives it more life.
But c’mon, you don’t think John and Dorinda like a little bugger sugar now and then? I’ve seen plenty of evidence from watching the show. For example, on Vanderpump Rules every single castmate on that show appears to be shoveling coke up their nose. Allegedly. And if you don’t notice, then you are blind or naive.
I’m naïve! What is the evidence on Vanderpump Rules? Even Brittany?
It might not be as apparent to someone who doesn’t know what to look for but Jax (James too) is a textbook example of someone who does way too much coke (allegedly)… sweaty, manic, impulsive, paranoid, angry, aggressive. And the next day; tired, depressed, apologetic, contrite but just until you get that next bump and then it’s back on the roller coaster. I’ve seen Jax do this so many times it’s amazing that he’s not dead.
And when it’s mixed with alcohol (or other drugs, it’s even crazier. I don’t watch Vanderpump Rules very often but there’s another guy (one of the Toms?) who’s always so messy drunk and crying. That’s typical of drinking too much alcohol and running out of coke before the night is over, lol.
I had a very brief period of partying with coke about 7 or 8 years ago. I had fun with it and didn’t “abuse” it. I didn’t find it the least bit addictive or destructive. But if you have a 8 ball (3.5 grams) around the house, you WILL use it nearly continuously until it’s gone. Trying to save the rest for the next weekend is hopeless, lol. And in small doses it’s not much different than a Redbull or cup of coffee. My partner and I would do it maybe once a month and have a blast then not touch it again for another month. Then after about a year we moved away from South Florida (lol, of course South Florida, such a stereotype) and haven’t touched it since.
I’m so bad at noticing people on drugs. I think it’s, in part, because I grew up in an area that had a lot of drug problems so the behaviors and idiosyncrasies were normalized for me. Hell, I’m on something like my 27th rewatch of Friends and I’ve only now noticed that Matthew Perry was kind of out of it for awhile there.
I wass hoping Bethenny was quitting, more big mouth, more product displays.
Only one I’m not looking forward to watching is Sonja. All her storylines are fake And it’s exhausting watching her defend them.
I agree. I so wish I had screenshotted (is that a word?) Sonja’s clearly self-written Wikipedia page before it ‘disappeared’. It was truly a thing of beauty.
Oh god, I’m sorry that I missed that!
I am so excited! I already have the TV on Bravo and watching the old episodes they are airing.
TT, can we get an app and live talk through these shows? Lol although, that would be a lot from me, I usually cant stay awake long enough to watch anything good. I catch up in the mornings throughout the week, BUT this show, I would stay up til 2 am for.
I have never enjoyed watching Ramona, and have prayed for her to be fired, but seeing the disaster we have been served the last two seasons of RHOBH, I’m terrified if we get rid of Ramona we will get another Dorit, and I can’t handle the thought of it. Ramona all day if that’s the other option haha.
Sorry, I get talkative on here, as history has shown, after wine. Haha
I’m ready ya’ll.
“I’m sort of an idealistic person and I sometimes view people idealistically, when I meet them, and now I just see her a little bit more realistically.”
I think that kind of makes someone a bad person? It’s like setting unrealistic/delusional standards in your mind, without the other person knowing, and inevitably they will fail to live up to them — and you can wave them away without a care.
It would be hard with me to fuck with someone who I know regards their friends that way.
I agree with you, it sounds like a verbose way of saying that Bethanny just isn’t good enough for her. Who wouldn’t want a friend like Carole, though, “live up to the idealized version of yourself I’ve created in my mind or your out”.
Ramona already had a skincare line years ago, TruRenewal or TruBeauty something like that.
I know, right? It must have failed then, not surprising. So let’s try again!
Just had a peek at Amazon and TruRenewal appears to still be for sale.
Spoke too soon. “currently unavailable”. The most recent verified review was in 2013. So I’m going to guess 2013 was when it became “currently unavailable”, lol.
Ageless by Ramona will be available in May.
And soon to become “currently unavailable” on Amazon. 😛
All I can think when seeing that photo is what kind of fight these ladies had about who sat where and next to stupid fucking Megyn Kelly and assuming B had that shit sorted before the show. Then Ramona and Luann both fighting over who should be sitting next two B especially since their both in red-B’s signature color!! 😂
