Wednesday nights are rough! Back to back recaps. But I am determined to get to the RHONY recap tonight. I think RHONY may be my favorite franchise at the moment. But I’m fickle.
We are back in the stunning house in Miami. Bethenny is trying to intimidate a drunk Sonja to go to bed. Sonja is beyond wasted and falls down really hard. It’s scary. Only Bethenny, Barbara and the poor server go to help her. I find that very telling. Bethenny tries to put Sonja to bed. Barbara says she saw Sonja hit her head and says that might not be a good idea. Barbara wants to call the paramedics. Bethenny agrees. Drunk Sonja kisses Bethenny’s ass. Literally.
Ramona realizes that all the cameras are in the room with Sonja so she pretends to care about someone other than herself. She’s not very good at. Neither is Tinsley who is dressed to go out with Ramona. She hardly notices the crisis with Sonja. She seems exasperated when she asks Ramona if they are still going out. Bethenny takes out Sonja’s extensions and lets her lay in her lap. She tells Ramona and Tinsley to go ahead and go out. Sonja thinks Clinton is president. I’m not a fan of the Clintons at all. But, I’d gladly take either one at the moment.
Drinking And Crying
Luann apparently can be around drinking. But she can’t be of any use during a time of crisis. She’s in her room. Probably with a bottle of vodka disguised as mouth wash. Apparently, the fire fighters looked at her pupils and said it doesn’t seem like she is on anything but alcohol. Bethenny can’t wait to shove that news up Luann’s ass. I am almost as excited as Sonja by the hot EMTs.

Meanwhile at the bar, Ramona is trying to pick up some vitamin D. Tinsley on the other hand just want’s a shoulder to cry on. Please don’t let it be about Scott. It’s about Scott.

The Morning After
Luann is pissy that the staff has not made her coffee. Oh, Lu. I miss fun Luann. Barbara, the only sane one in this bunch goes for a morning run on the beach. Bethenny and Tinsley wind up in the same bed. So do Ramona and Sonja. Luann has procured a yoga instructor. Dorinda goes out to join her. This is probably a bad idea Dorinda. Bethenny ironically rocks a Reality Sucks sweatshirt. I want it. Dorinda struggle with her feelings for Luann. It’s her first time meeting season one Lu. Dorinda doesn’t want to deal with the narcissism.

Ramona determines a two person scene would get her some camera time. So it is buy one narcissist, get one free by the pool. Luann says the others have a problem with her success. They just can’t stand that she is happy. She doesn’t look happy to me. I pause the DVR because I may need to break the rules of the ghetto and call 911. Very loud argument outside. That’s odd for a Wednesday at 10 pm. It seems to have stopped. No shots fired.

Pausing again. Because we have to talk about Ramona. Here boobs are enormous. When did that happen? Am I just now noticing or have they been like this?
It’s BOGO Day For Narcissists!
No one wants to see Luann win. No one supports her. She’s trying to stay sober and everyone is getting drunk just to make her fail. It’s all about Luann. Even Ramona says that Luann is full of shit. Luann gets huffy with Ramona and asks her if she is blind. She says every time she sees Sonja, she’s drunk. Is this a good time to point out what a responsible drinker Dorinda has been? Sober Dorinda is unexpected. Drunk Sonja is not. Even after an hour of yoga, Luann is raging. How is that possible?
Suddenly, Luann is just trying to be a friend to Sonja. She can’t stand seeing her this way, She could have died in the fall. Well, why hasn’t Lu checked on her even once? That’s what friends do. Wow, as soon as I hit play Ramona points out that Luann never even checked on Sonja. Luann claims she was in bed. She was not. She’s lying or doesn’t remember for um, some reason. In her talking head she says that no one came to check on her. No one came to see if she brought a bottle of vodka back to her room. Because, she wanted too. If I had to bet, I’d say she did. Luann decides to invite Sonja to an AA meeting with her. Luann is making Ramona seem human. Sonja declines Luann’s backhanded invitation. Ramona apologizes to Barbara.
Drinks By The Pool
This pool is incredible. I need to be there right now. Just not with this crew. They are going to throw a dinner party. Somehow it has become Ramona’s party. She only wants thirty guests. All men. I see no problem with this plan. Except she is inviting Mario and a date for herself to make him jealous. #petty.
Art Basel
I feel like they are purposely trying not to say they are there for Art Basel. But they were. Tinsley’s sister Dabney will be in this scene. So there will be more crying about Scott. Ramona bails on everyone to head to a hotel for a vitamin D injection. How does she get away with not filming so many scenes? She’s the LVP of this franchise.

Bethenny bought a ton of stuff on this trip. In the very first gallery she buys a green (don’t) stop sign for ten grand. The artist gives Tinsley a $5,000 paint can that is a play on Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup pieces. Then he gives all the girls a free piece. Except Luann who wastes no time in point it out to him. Bethenny is the only one that didn’t get something for free. Unless I missed it.
Next they go to a studio of one of Bethenny’s friends we have met before. She has arranged for everyone to get an $8,000 piece of art. They leave the one for Ramona behind since she bailed on filming.
Dancing On The Ceiling
This heading has nothing to do with the show. It’s about the second scary event at my house during this recap. A giant palmetto bug. I can handle almost anything but rats and palmetto bugs. For those not familiar palmetto bug look like GIANT cockroaches. Only they can fly. And the walk across your ceiling. They do not run when you turn the light on. They are not afraid of you. So terrifying! I might be having an actual heart attack. Sorry. Moving on.
The Rum Guy
Ramona’s date for the evening is Kevin. She calls him the rum guy. That’s is business I guess. I am having trouble focusing. It pisses me off because this is a great episode. Mario is the first to arrive. Are we being played her? It dawns on me that Ramona went to see Mario at his hotel instead of going to Art Basel. Are these two secretly back together? If they are not, they should be.

What the hell is Dorinda wearing? It’s like a silver lamé pedal pusher jumpsuit of some sort. It’s a no for me. I bet it is really expensive though. But if Dorinda likes it, I’m happy for her. We have good Dorinda back this season.
Stop Excluding Barbara!
Sonja tells Mario that Ramona has a date. Luann takes her date, Denio and moves far, far away from everyone else. Is this her new man that we’ve heard about? These gals waste no time. Dorinda asks Dabney what she does for a living. She does nothing. Dorinda says, “How nice.” But isn’t that Dorinda’s job when she’s not doing housewives? I mean when was the last time before RHONY that she had a job?
Barbara has a platonic female friend at the party. Of course Ramona and Sonja rudely ask if they are intimate. Why is everyone so mean to Barbara? I love her.

I also like Kevin, the rum guy. Someone need to tell him to run. But, while Kevin and Ramona flirt, Tinsley cries about Scott with her sister. I can’t. It’s a sausage party, girl. Go get you a sausage! Bethenny to the rescue. She introduces her to one of her rich friends. Tinsley botched it.

You Flooze, You Lose
Bethenny, Dorinda and Tinsley have a plan to mess with Ramona. I love this. As everyone gathers to eat, Dorinda is going to stand and give a toast to Ramona. Except it is not about Ramona at all. She thanks everyone for coming. Then she talks about the hundreds of thousands of art that the artists gave them today at Art Basel.
Then, all the RHONY really play it up. There was a ton of name dropping from The Pope to the Queen mother. Ramona is visibly devastated. I love this prank. Clearly, they are all angry that Ramona keeps getting to bail on filming.
Sonja points out that Ramona missed it all because she was at a hotel “with guys.” Ramona says she was relaxing. She seems crushed. But not as crushed as I had hoped.
Mario Meets The Rum Guy
Ramona introduces Mario to Kevin. She clearly wants Mario back. Mario tells Ramona he got a call from Avery. Kevin skulks off in search of coffee. Ramona doesn’t seem to notice. Sonja shows up to inform Mario that Ramona made out with Harry,
On the next RHONY recap, Luann continues to be an entitled prig. Sonja has a breakdown and admits she suffers from loneliness. Luann reacts by shaming her for her excessive drinking. Bethenny has an even bigger meltdown over Luann’s ungrateful behavior.
Okay, am I alone in thinking this was the best episode of reality TV we have had in awhile? And next week looks even better.
Best HW franchise for sure!! These ladies are pure gold!! See ya later RHOBH!!
No, you are definitely not alone, T.T. New York is my favorite as well, and this episode was really good!
Three Observations:
1. Ramona and Mario definitely still have great chemistry!
2. Luann’s little red number was gorgeous!
3. Tinsley and her sister were very sweet together dodging all of that sausage!?
I really liked Tinsleys younger sister. It was sweet how she was trying to reassure and calm Tinsley down….
new york has always been my favorite from day one. bethanny has always been #1 for me
from poor to rich. glad everyone is finally catching up. love the vibe, the humor, the honesty
about how she feels. new york is just so much more classy, from clothes to parties. tried atl.
could not tolerate the filthy talk. low class all the way. used to like nj. probably because i am
from the northeast. ny and nj were the ones i always watched. oc, so phony. bh i only like kyle.
maybe these shows have run their course. if so i will miss new york.
Same hear. People like the NY housewives because they get down and dirty. Atlanta is too gross with their nasty talk and hooker clothes. Jersey is a bunch of felons, the OC is a bunch of fakes and BH has gotten so plastic. I want to watch women who aren’t afraid to wake up without make up on. Women who will tell it like it is but then move on and get snockered with each other.
The New York ladies are definitely the most entertaining. They keep bringing it
This was a good episode. I am a little sad about Bethany’s breakdown in the next episode. I feel like Lu’s ugly behavior may be reminding her of her mother.
Oh, didn’t think about that. You’re right. Nothing Bethenny does was ever good enough for her mother. Kind of relate.
We get over a lot of things life throws at us, but never that.
I agree about reminding her of her mother
Notice how quickly Beth can go into “rescue mode.” Very typical of children raised by alcoholics.
My best friend was raised by a single alcoholic mother who was also emotionally abusive.
She is a very organized and control freak kinda gal. She owns that it is a response to growing up in chaos.
I have seen her melt down similar to what I saw from Bethanny in the preview when she was struggling to communicate with her mother who refused to hear anything anyone was saying (she still drinks and is a mean drunk ).
It was like she had been backed into a corner and forced to watch her mother drown in front of her – that despair and lashing out and terror at the loss of control in the situation.
It broke my heart.
God. As I get older, this stuff is so much clearer, and the options to resolve them lessen- as in no way to resolve. “Letting go” can only go so far for so long- even for the best of us. “It” resurfaces, no matter how long or expensive the therapy/meditation/prayer/meds. I get it, and don’t at all! But I’m in her corner with compassion.
This is definitely the best franchise. The ladies are funniest and for the most part they get over shit quickly. They are all pretty open about their lives and always pack so much into every episode.
Love this show and love the recap! Thank you, TT.
Great recap, Tamara! Loved “Please don’t make it about Scott. It’s about Scott.” Cracked me up.
Tinsley is so beautiful but her self-confidence is non-existent…. Its sometimes sad to watch
I agree. I was telling my husband Tinsley is the best of the bunch and truly seems to have more class, social awareness, and human decency than the rest combined. It bothers me how little pride she seems to have….the exact opposite of some of this bunch (Lu and Ramona are so prideful is ridiculous).
Well said. I get more pleasure watching her be well mannered than the entire season of RHOBH. Kill it with fire.
Agree with you on Tinsley! (And Lu and Ramona too.)
My fave too. I love it! I stopped watching RHOBH with petty fake disagreements this one feels real
I just love love love this franchise. I think it is because they really do bare it all.
I live for the trips especially. Am I the only one that enjoys Bethenny waking up and clearly having an impromptu slumber party? I don’t care if it is Tinsley, Carole, or Sonja. Sonja is my favorite in that regard. I also like that B is kind of giggly and really funny in the AM, and she doesn’t bother waking up early to brush her hair, etc. for the cameras. We get her at her bedhead best!
I do NOT remember Britto being on before! I love his stuff! (The expensive stuff, usually and sadly)
Bethenny whole wedding thing was Britto her love painting I think Jason got her
Oh yeah! Probably paid for with her money…
Luann is reminding me a lot of Kim R.- both so focused on sobriety and me-me-me.
Very entertaining recap! I didn’t have time to watch the show tonight, but I at least wanted to read your recap, and it didn’t disappoint. I’ll watch the show tomorrow.
Luann looked hungover during that morning scene. Explains her behavior too
I really like Barbara too, I don’t understand all the hate she gets.
I don’t hate Barbara yet all things I consider interesting about her are verboten. I hate the producers for this. Reminds me of Carlton who got the evil bisexual witch edit when I am sure there was a 3 dimensional aspect of her life & family production refused to let us see. She is one & done I think.
Same here. But Barbara doesn’t bring it when the other women are nasty to her, so she is “boring.” First season cast members are expected to bring a lot of drama, which is why we see a lot of petty bullshit with many of them. Anyone who takes the high road is toast.
And I think thy are mean to her because she is bisexual, heavier than them, and is very much in a man’s world. She is authentic and too different from these women. It’s a shame.
We won’t see her next year.
So love this franchise as they keep it moving along. It’s the only one that if I miss it…I totally find time to watch it later. With Beverly Hills it’s a snooze fest. And I totally feel the pain of Palmetto bugs. I grew up in Naples Fl and we lived on the water. My parents always left the entire back of the house open at night to enjoy the sea breezes. Umm…I was terrified because an army of flying monkeys (Palmetto bugs) would swoop in to carry me away. These things are huge and will fly for your face. Thanks, mom and dad.
I started watching RHONY again from the beginning not too long ago, currently in Season 6. Ramona definitely got her boobs done AND she’s definitely had an actual face lift. I’ve tried so hard to like Luann, she was the best when she was a “friend” that one season, but otherwise she’s just plain awful. I miss Heather and Kristen, I wish they’d come back!
Boob job for sure. Those girls needs to be deflated a bit.
OMG, did I just see Bethenny remove an extension from drunk Sonja’s hair? This is the show that keeps on giving.
Reading this makes me want to stop what I am doing immediately & jump on demand. Bravo Ms. Tattles. You have peaked interest in this old man. Poolside, writing checks paying bills renewing library card & all other electronic drudgery. Its humid here & I am in my ye old timer fat bathing suit. This ensemble should come with a blindfold & cigarette.
You paint quite the aluring picture! I can envision it all quite clearly. LoL.
The last few episodes I’ve caught myself thinking what spectacular reality tv we are getting. Lu’s narcissism is off the chain, Dorinda feels like she’s about to blow – especially last week when she had the bartender cowering while she made her own martini and forced him to drink, she’s THAT scary woman, Bethenny is also a mile a minute and more tightly wound than ever. Ramona is just fascinating, the noodle scene with Dorinda making barge noises was comedy gold, Sonja is whirling out of control and is going for a Grey Gardens stream of consciousness persona that is just bizarre. Tinsley is a wrecked Southern Belle and Barbara. ..I like Barbara but this group is difficult . High tensile personalities, everyone vying for attention at all times. I loved how Barbara calmly handled Ramona’s ignorant exclusion and ran it off the next day . It’s weird. It’s not a Scary Island type season but it’s fast moving and absolutely compelling. Leagues above all the other franchises and effortless about it. So much to unpack every single episode. Like where did Sonja’s hangover go after the day she just had? What does rock bottom look like to LuAnn, because it’s coming? And how far behind her is Dorinda?
Did Luann mention bringing a bottle of vodka in her room because she did bring one? It’s not up to the other ladies to police her sobriety. I think she is worse than Season 1! Thought it was funny when she said the ladies were jealous of her success and Ramona was like “nooooooo”
TT, a big HELL NO to palmetto bugs. OMG, they freak me out too!
Great episode, great recap. This is absolutely the best franchise, and I will be devastated if rumors of firings are true. They need to keep these bitches together no matter what. They can bring in another woman, but keep these, except Barbara. Sonja is the gift that keeps on giving. I think she totally was having her BFF’s back to make Mario jealous, as you do for your girl. I hadn’t thought that Ramona went to hook up with Mario and missed the free art. Interesting. He lives in a condo in Boca, or at least he did when he was with that tramp stamp. He and Ramona clearly love each other, but not sure how she could go back after what happened. Must be heartbreaking for her. Lu is unreal. How she didn’t check on Sonja. She was right to be pissed and trying to avoid a trigger to not drink, but she took it too far. I thought Tins and her sister were very sweet. I don’t know why she has such poor self-esteem. It’s so sad. I loved when they were all in the pool trying to take B’s pic and they told Ramona to move because she looked like a tugboat. Hah! This show is the best.
During the party, when Lu came inside with her male friends, wasn’t she holding a glass of red wine? Hmmm.
I don’t think Luann is that stupid. Although she almost ordered a cocktail with her male friends but then she quickly changed it to a diet coke at the last second.
So maybe she really is that stupid.
Lu seems too focused on Sonja. Seems like a means of resisting accountability for herself. The only sobriety she should be concerned with is her own. #glasshouses
I hope its not my age that makes me obsessed with this franchise. (I’m up there in the 50’s…) I’d like to think it’s because they are funny, smart, and destructive- plus, I just love going to NY and elsewhere on Wed nights. So random, but Ramona thinks she’s such a fashion icon compared to Barbara- honestly, she made her money reselling overstock/last season merch, and those satin dresses? And now the BOOBAGE in every outfit? I live in the country, so dresses do not rule the day (nor do heels, due to the dirt and potholes), but last time I looked, how can you mess with a wrap dress? Diane VonFurstenberg, ICONIC wrap dress? Seems to me, Barbara had some classic, effortless style that Ramona missed.
Not to take away from the caliber of your recap, but I think the level of emotional shit that is being revealed makes for a good, thoughtful analysis! You’re not stuck trying to figure out their grade level, or what in the rationale could be! Thanks again.
One thing that I identified from this episode that bugs me about Barbara, and maybe this is what gets under Ramona’s skin as well, is Barbara’s attachment to her long hair. At the party, she is in heels and hair right down as usual. I found myself thinking ‘high heels, updo : low heels, hair down ‘. I know that doesn’t work all the time but thinking it gave me the ‘aha’ moment about Barbara. She always looks the same because her hair is always the same no matter what she wears. She has pretty strong features too, I’d love to see her with her hair styled differently. Just not a The Marj pigtails.
This is by far my favorite hw franchise. Luann is over the top with her all about me schtick but I enjoy the addition of Barbara. Highly unlikely that she’ll return.
Yeah, I think Barbara is too normal for this group….
I have a serious question, not just about this show but all the bravo shows. How in the world do they drink as much as they do and then get up and have a full day the next day? I wouldn’t be eating eggs, swimming, going to art galleries and then a dinner party. I’d be lying in bed dry heaving and trying to sleep it off till dinner. What are they taking to help them? Charcoal pills? Anyone have any ideas? I can drink a lot but, the next day is hell. How are they doing this?? Also, I love this franchise and your recap nailed it.
Practice.
Lol! Not for me. The more I practice the worse the next day gets. I definitely wouldn’t be doing yoga like Dorinda after how drunk she was the night before. I feel like there’s a secret or maybe an extra recovery day that production isn’t telling us about.
Typically heavy drinkers will have a ‘little hair of the dog that bit them’ the next morning like a Bloody Mary or mimosa. Typically just one or two to set them right.
I don’t think Dorinda drank that much in Miami. We didn’t see her inner Slurinda for sure.
The first night when she was drunkenly telling the bartender how to make her drink and then forcing him to taste it wasn’t pretty. But, yes we’ve definitely seen her worse.
Oh yeah. But let me be honest… I don’t mind any of them drunk unless they are belligerently drunk. I mean, I’m not exactly a teetotaller!
This must be it. Every Bravo show I watch leaves me wondering how these women can drink so much! And mixing drinks. They will have wine, then cocktails then shots! I realize I’m older than I lot of these women on the different shows, but I couldn’t drink those quantities or mix alcohol like that when I was young! Lol
Thank you, for this question, I’ve also been wondering how they function the next day! I’ve also wondered how these housewives stay skinny!?! I believe the answer to both is: Adderall, which is a prescription medication! That is the rumor I heard. I realize some of these ladies are probably genetically skinny, but not all!
That could be it. I think it speeds up your metabolism so maybe they process it faster or something. In the long run though that would be a dangerous game.
I’ve been wondering the same. Everyone I know can’t handle their alcohol as well as they get older. And you didn’t add an even more important point to the mix- they hardly eat. Most are drinking on empty stomachs and then eat only some salad or protein when it’s a huge ass bowl of pasta that’ll help so you don’t feel sick. I don’t get it.
I find it hard to believe that anyone thinks that these ladies handle their booze well. Medics? Falling down drunk? Flat out on the floor? Spread eagle on back seats and couches? Puking? Slurring and shouting? It’s a bad look for these Bravo folks young or old. And yes, Romona got the granny boobs as a consolation prize for loosing Mario. She thinks they hide her teletubby shape.
TT- great recap. I wish Barbara would just defend herself and put Ramona in her place. Ramona will just keep pushing Barbara until she stands up for herself. I don’t think Luann has made a statement that doesn’t have the words I, Me or Mine in it. She is so completely self absorbed.
Yaaaasssss. I totally agree. It’s really fascinating to watch how these some of these women have (for better or worse) significantly developed over time, and LuAnn is on the top of that list. She came into the series way back when having made a very strong and ill-fated choice to play The Countess to the hilt, and she’s been repeating the pattern ever since. She makes a choice (I’m looking at you, Tom D’agostino) and clings to it with such dogged determination its clear she has hypnotized herself into drinking her own kool-aid. And it is evident that what fuels her hubris is her desperation – the stakes have never been higher for Luann, and she’s the one who put them up there. It’s a testament to her that many people (myself included) have so often rooted for her, only to feel disappointment and dismay for her hubris. She’s growing, sure, but instead of growing up or growing out, Luann is steadily growing inward. But I still have compassion for her. At this point, RHNY is becoming a genuine anthropological study of American women of a certain age and lifestyle.
Where did Bethenny buy her skirt that she wore to the art exhibits? I love it! I want to buy it for myself. I love this franchise. I think they are all friends and that is why it is so good. I want to party with the girls.
Ramona’s bazooms are ridiculous. She’s getting a little chubby now, and with her height, they make her look bigger. When she arrived a Lu’s upstate house, she kept jerking her shirt down over her belly.
I totally loved Sonja at the party with Mario, she was so shady to Ramona and I’m here for it all!
Sonja is the best. I think Dorinda was right when she said the “sloppy seconds” man thing does hurt her. She tries to play it off, but when she adds liquor, the truth comes out.
Thank you TT! Great recap! And, thank you Dorinda for being a bit more humble and no so drunk this season. She may not have liked how Bethanny called her out last year, but I think it ultimately straightened her out. Bethanny knows reality TV, she knew her fans were not down for that behavior! I’m glad to have likable Dorinda back.
I like Barbara too! Maybe because she is the anti-Ramona??? I really think Ramona is dialing it in this year. So I’m glad she is skipping everything- for OUR sake! And for the other ladies. Upgrade Barbara, and downgrade Ramona. Please!
Great recap, great episode. Luann is unbearable but so watchable, Dorinda is back on form, I actually really feel for Sonja, the dating thing does really get to her, it would me if I were in her shoes. I love when you see the caring side of Bethenny, Sonja was literally threatening to knock her out, falls and B is there helping her up and cradling her like a child, and offering to check on her through the night. That is a friend. I like Barbara a lot and would like to see more about her.
I hadn’t considered that Ramona snuck off to see Mario but I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. I know he was a dick and he cheated, but if he’s truly sorry I think they should get back together. Ramona clearly adores him and they do have great chemistry, they’ve also handled the separation really maturely which is nice to see. Ramona is a liability in many scenarios but I think she was a good wife to him and he realises now what he lost.
Mario continues to age well. He’s one of those guys who getter better looking with age.
Pretty much every time Ramona is on the screen, I cringe. Either she’s flirting CRINGE, or she thinks she’s being clever CRINGE, or she is cluelessly and self-absorbedly rude CRINGE, or she is just wrong and uninformed about things (“Pussy-tano”) CRINGE.
The only time she didn’t make me cringe was when she said No when Lu said everyone was just jealous of her success. Lu is beyond arrogantly delusional.
I loved how production showed Ramona with the straw right after Tinsley told her sister she couldn’t do the flirt with the straw–great shade, production!
I literally started laughing today talking about the end scene with that “toast” (which was more of a roast).
Hell… Tinsley’s even growing on me… But I do love B, Dorinda, and Sonja when they are together.
I was surprised Betthany could be around sushi. Didn’t she have to get off a plane because they were serving seafood?
Loved that the girls got artwork and didn’t bring any for Ramona.
Have a hard time forgiving Sonja for her awful behavior the night before.
I agree with you on everything. I totally forgot about the allergic reaction to fish. Sorry but part of me thinks her allergic reaction is selective (plane). I believe that if she eats it but I don’t think it’s airborne like she makes it out. I’m glad that Ramona got stung with the artwork. I wanted the art from the second place. Lastly Sonja’s behavior was horrible.
It is airborne. And I don’t think she had the near death experience before this.
As Old Jane stated, why didn’t she have a reaction to the sushi? Sorry I do not have food allergies so I am clueless.
From what I understand it has to do with something in the fish that becomes airborne while it is being cooked. Which is why she had the severe reaction on the plane and in a place with poor ventilation. She’s not allergic to shellfish and is probably fine around sushi as long as she doesn’t touch it or stick her nose in it. It’s a serious allergy but, like peanuts the degrees vary. I could be totally wrong but that’s what I’ve understood from an interview I read.
Yes, I think it is the fish OILS that become airborne. Cooking (or reheating) releases those oils from the fish and some will get into the air. Airplanes make it especially intense because of the recycled air at 50,000 feet!
Fizz and Erica thanks for the informative info. I appreciate it.
I’m thinking the reason why Ramona’s boobs are looking extra big could be a few things. If she has gained weight it could go there, if she had lipo some where on her body that could do it too. I had lipo and when I started gaining weight it went right to my boobs.
The boobage is swollen, round rock hard, and completely manufactured. No lipo, weight gain or ‘water weight’ will give you a circle ball/balloon shape like that. Bought and paid for, 100 percent!
PS: You’re lucky @Prycer. My weight gain post lipo and cool sculpt went right to my hips. AND the right hip is BIGGER than the left. I almost have shelves!
Ahh so not lucky. Had a breast reduction first then lipo. Breast got just as big as they were. My small C’s went back to a DD.
BTW, how was the cool sculpting? I don’t know anyone who has had it done.
Ahh so not lucky. Had a breast reduction first then lipo. My boobs went from a small C to DD. I had to get all new shirts and dresses.
BTW, how was the cool sculpting? I read about your hips (sorry). I don’t know anyone who has done it.
I don’t know. Not having drugs in your system but being damn near 60 and getting so drunk you pass out mid sentence and hit your head, doesn’t seem like much of a win. Just saying…
I think she’s on drugs also yes it’s too much. Even Bethany will over drink every once in a while but Sonja gets way overboard. sonja is dangerous. Gosh her daughter must be humiliated. Sonja must have sone mental illness to not be embarrassed by this on TV over and over. I love her but damn Sonja. You can just see B tense up and have so many issues when dealing with very drunk women ie Sonja and Dorinda. It’s sad her own friends put her in childhood trauma reminders on just any old day they want to get dangerously drunk
Tamara, your site and this forum is my favorite, in my opinion, you provide best recaps, inside scoops, etc. Wonderful job! hey, did anyone hear in Weds episode Bethenny say [My gift is my daughter and she doesn’t have one] either to or about Tinsley or LuAnn? There seems to be confusion of how that comment was meant and/or who it was towards re: after some artist allocated some of his artwork pieces to the rest of cast, as gifts, after B purchased one for $10K. I didn;t see that part of episode, but am thinking she simply was snarking as to how she paid for her piece and everyone else received presents, but doesn’t explain [she doesn’t have one] part…does anybody know or have any thoughts? Now its botherin me, lol…Also I missed preview of next week. What is Bs breakdown thats comin about ? Thanks everyone!
I thought the gift is my daughter and she doesnt have one, was mean. Im sure it was meant for Tinsley who doesnt have kids and recieved the most expensive gift of all. I hate when women gloat about being a mother to those who arent. Cheap shot for a egotist. I kinda hope Ramona gets back together with Mario, if he has evolved and is truely sorry. That girlfriend Mario had was trouble, has a track record of sleeping with married men, and just trashy and devoid of anything other than a good body. He should have learned his lesson. I think Ramona is a good mother, trustworthy and loyal, and actually loved him. The girlfriend was only wanting a meal ticket , a place to live for free, and to not have to work anymore. I think Ramona looks great and her confidence is attractive. She must be a very strong person.
Janet, wow if that’s really how she meant it, that really sucks..extremely hateful! I read somewhere B had directed it to LuAnn about the art they got. If that’s the case, editing made her look really bad…either way, not cool, makes it seem like she’s in competition w/everyone in the cast, ya know?
Bethenny didn’t get a present while Tinsley did and she said “I have a daughter, she doesn’t-let her get the gift”. It was a stupid thing to say but no doubt we all say stupid stuff at times and it’s not meant to wound.
ok it makes a little more sense now since you quoted verbatim. I didn’t see part. Appreciate your response. ) I really didn’t think she could be mean like that anyway.
I rewatched the entire thing. The list of celebrities that they all (except Luann of course) chimed in on… Britto is working with the Pope! Barbara Bush may she rest in peace, then B – ‘the lord Jesus Christ”. I was cracking up all over again.
Oh, and I love that Dorinda suddenly made the price tag $20,000.
Sonja causes so much drama. Bethany wakes up looking like she went through war trying to even collect her thoughts about breakfast and up pops Sonja fresh as a daisy in a swimsuit and heels not a hair out of place after being so wasted. I love Sonja to an extent but I could never have a friend like this. It’s exhausting.
anyone know who the hot, gorgeous yoga instructor is…he came to the Miami vacation rental estate?
I’m gonna go ahead and say it. Mario is one of the hottest house husbands and never gets the credit for it. I’m 34, he’s much older than me, but DANG. He is so handsome and just keeps getting better-looking!
I will second that. I have always found him to be fun and cute. I like Mario. I like seeing him on the show. They should just get back together.
He is attractive. But when he opens his mouth, his teeth bother me. Nice face, but then old man stacked teeth. I also remember back in the day when he would fight with Jill for his wife, and he always came across like a douche. Also fighting with Luann as well. He was like the male Ramona… I remember it all. 🙂
