Well, we’ve all survived for another RHONY Recap! So there is that. The bad weather seems to have missed me again, and I spent most of the day sleeping. I also went to the corner store today for beer as I am out of alcohol. The second I put on my mask I had difficulty standing up. My legs turned to jelly. It’s a two minute car ride to “the yellow store” It is where the many homeless in my area but their groceries, alcohol and beer. They have apparently limited their store hours during the pandemic.
There are always homeless people hanging out in the parking lot. I was freaking out because social distancing seemed very complicated. It’s been a rough day. But RHONY is the most popular show with you guys at the moment, so I am going to do my best to recap. According to the episode guide, a vibrator ends up in the chicken piccata. So at least there will be a bit of humor. My heart is acting kind of funky. Hopefully, it’s just anxiety, panic attack. Nonetheless, I may have to lie down.
Tennis Anyone?
Ramona’s tennis coach shows up and he is hot. And Italian. Luann and Ramona have a feisty tennis match. It’s a grudge match. Luann is truly getting her revenge. Ramona’s tennis coach apparently isn’t teaching her much. My heart will not stop quivering inside my chest. And I am burping, which I think is a bad sign. I never burp. Luann hits on the tennis coach and I am sure they will get together in NYC in the future. If he lives in Manhattan, how is he a tennis coach in the Hamptons? Oops, scratch that, the guy shot her down. And Luann speaks Italian and everything.

Ramona seems to think she can order Leah around like the hired help. Then she screams a Sonja. Luann says that she really wanted to drink yesterday and last night. There’s not really a lot to discuss so far. It’s a good episode, I just don’t have much to say about it.
Champagne Pong
Sonja has apparently hired TWO dog groomers to come give her dog a bath or whatever. This seems ridiculous to me. I gave up on Banjo baths ages ago. Luann is already throwing herself at the younger dog groomer. It seems the tennis coach is but a distant memory. There is an insane amount of soap on that dog. I don’t think he is really a dog groomer. A real dog groomer would not wash a dog in the kitchen sink of someone’s home who is not even the dog owner. She manages to get a neck masssage out of the deal.

Leah was offering to help Ramona get ready for dinner but Ramona now suddenly doesn’t need any help. Leah is relieved that don’t have to go to the big fancy party tonight and are all just staying in eating takeout. She says that she is just glad they don’t have to be with more weird white dudes tonight. Then, Jeff, a weirdo white dude walks in like he owns the place. Leah is not happy with Jeff. Tinsley seems like a good friend to Leah. The ladies play champagne pong. Sonja is already wasted.
Leah Should Never Drink Again
Leah is super drunk. She and Tinsley go skinny dipping with a bottles of champagne. Leah loses her ever loving mind. She’s trying to put out the tiki torches with champagne. She hates tiki torches because the “represent bullshit.” Then she pulls one out of the ground and throws it like a flame thrower. We would know all about the issues with tiki torches if we just read the news more, apparently. Then Sonja comes out and starts throwing tiki torches. What is wrong with these people? Sonja gets naked, grabs a bottle of champagne and gets in the pool.

Meanwhile inside the house we have drunk Dorinda rambling on about John. Ramona is picking at Dorinda like she is deliberately trying to wind her up. She asks Dorinda how she would feel if John were out at a party tonight getting women’s numbers. Dorinda calls Ramona an asshole. Ramona claims that women have told her that John has taken their numbers.
Elyse Who?
I should point out that apparently Elyse has been on this whole trip. She’s not uttered a single word on camera this episode. She’s a dud. Dorinda tells Leah she needs a boob lift. Then she discovers that Leah has angel wings tattooed around her vagina. Ramona decides to leave and go to the party by herself. Luann goes home. The next thing you know Leah is screaming at Sonja and Tinsley to drop their former husband’s names. This is giving me anxiety. This is just some ridiculous shit. Leah and Sonja both need to stop drinking. Like forever. Sonja can’t even go pee without Leah walking in and kneeling between her legs to keep screaming. Film crew just filming Sonja in the bathroom. That was just insane.
The next morning Leah doesn’t seem to recall that she is the one who trashed the house and the yard. Ramona is not amused. Sonja throws Leah under the bus to Ramona. Leah doesn’t seem remorseful. At least she cleaned the kitchen, I need her to come clean mine now.
Wait, next week Sonja is showing her relabeled Target overstock at NYFW? What has happened to NYFW?
Despite what I previously read about Leah here and elsewhere, I wanted to give her a chance. But yikes, it’s increasingly looking like she’s as much of a hot mess as I thought she’d become.
So how on earth does a vibrator end up in a pot alongside chicken?
I was impressed that sober Leah had the ability to call people out without becoming angry, but drunken Leah is another story – she’s out of her mind and aggressive.
Also, how the heck does Sonja look that good at her age? She must have very good genes because I don’t think she exercises and seems to eat whatever she wants. At 56 years old she’s as fit as Tinsley and Leah.
Sonja is always going on long retreats and spends the majority of her days caring herself. She was riding out the first month of quarantine in a spa in Florida. I can’t imagine the cost. I’ve wanted to ask friends to go the spa a few times but it’s always $5k for 3-4 days plus extras! Imagine a month. She had work done this season, she changed her hair so people would be distracted.
When she was on WWHL recently I think she was at a spa in Palm Springs, as well.
Her face looked really different when she had the short hair with bangs pulled back. Swollen?
NYFW sold out to the housewives.
My heart gets super weird with anxiety and sometimes burping is the only thing that makes it feel better. I hope that’s what’s going on with you. And I hope you are drinking a lot of water and taking care of yourself.
A big burp happened and things kinda went back to normal. Then I was sure I had a fever. It feels like it, but I don’t. I’m hot and then freezing. Sigh.
Menopause has all sorts of weird symptoms. I was convinced I was having a heart attack 2 days ago. I fell asleep 3 hours ago, and just woke up burning hot. Yup,, like you, have never had weird indigestion issues until now. Kinda makes me miss PMS.
The hot flashes and night sweats are the worst! I want to know when does it end???
I hate to tell you the real answer…. but …. It was more than seven years for me.
I think the stress of all that’s going on whipped my body back into menopause.
It’s sad that Ramona thinks young guys actually want her. She looks nice for her age, but she forgets that 60+ means something. She should stop hitting on men that r young enough to be her grandkids. This whole “I double booked” makes me think she makes the men meet her.
I’ve been on it 32 years, & they will have to take the Premarin from my cold dead hands.
TT, a couple years ago I was at the beginning of a bitter end of a 15-year relationship.
Around the time of Harvey.
I wasn’t taking care of myself, drinking too much and I really couldn’t eat.
My legs gave out also.
Finally went to my hippie doc.
I was malnourished, dehydrated and my usually high blood pressure was down to nothing.
Pedialyte and coconut water tided me over. 🌴
Time helped after that.
Lexapro and Tramadol worked for me.
Take care of yourself and your son.
Please! 💕
You know I might have a thingy of coconut water around here somewhere. That sounds good.
The issue with tiki torches is Charlottesville and the fact that they are Ramona’s tiki torches is *chef’s kiss*! I was worried about Bethenny leaving, but Leah is definitely up for the game. NYC is my favorite franchise because the ladies are consistently entertaining.
Came here to say this. Despite Leah’s drunken behavior and *misguided* anger at the physical tiki torches, I feel like that’s the most politically aware anything on this show has ever said (other than maybe Carole, who beat us over the head with that Hillary canvassing storyline a few seasons ago).
I’m not a fan of tiki torches in general. I do think it is wierd that all tiki torches are now being assigned a label of bigotry and racism just because some Awful people carried them around while screaming vile things. That’s just not an association I would make. And BAN ALL THE TIKI TORCHES and yelling at the tiki torches like they did something wrong is odd.
Thanks for the recap. I haven’t watched this one yet. I’m growing away from the Bravo housewives series. Just can’t take all the fighting. It used to be fun, but then it got hateful . I am 51 and just don’t care for the negativity. But luv a TT recap . thanks and I hope you are staying strong through all this madness.
What a clusterf*ck! Leah, right between Sonja legs in the bathroom.😏 Ramona (I have never liked her) who is desperately searching for a man has the effen nerve to come for Dorina with her trash talk. Tinsley drunk out of her ever loving mind, and sleeping with a bowl of pasta in the bed.
Yea, that episode was a complete cluster f*ck!!!
Did you see her trying to eat the pasta earlier? She was probably still hungry because it took her 3 tries to get a single strand of spaghetti into her mouth!
LOL, I did.
Agree re her still be hungry; hence having the bowl in bed.
Next she’ll wake up forgetting it’s there and it’ll all end up on the floor. 😝
*being
All of these women have insane bodies! I’m 20 years younger than them, I work out all the time and I can’t compare…is it genetics, surgery, or am I just screwed?
Genetics are a bitch, I have the potbelly that hits all the women on my moms side the minute they turn 40. Skinny arms and legs but the gut is still there.
Leah cracks me up. She tries to be all like no white dudes and tikis are awful and lame rich people- faux white enlightenment. Ramona is the worst hostess EVER
I agree…she seems to think she is the hostess with the mostest and the belle of the society ball… but with absolutely no class! What sane and classy hostess expects their GUESTS to clean up! Especially after LEAVING these guests to go to a party!!! This is insane and rude and a whole bunch of other words I don’t have the brain cells to find….new level of awful for Ramona
I have a good friend who goes to parties and ends up fighting with people or kicked out. Somehow she’ll end up outside with no shoes and no phone. I can never get a straight story. Watching this, I was like, Ohhh…. I can picture it now What we need is this kind of footage!
When Ramona was asking Dorinda how she’d feel if John was getting girls’ numbers, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought she as trying to get Dorinda to admit her feelings and that she does care about John. Silly me trying to ascribe positive intent to Ramona.
Oh, LuAnn. I was embarrassed for her. What’s that called? Fremdschämen?
I thought she was going to explode in a horny frenzy à la the Chicken Lady from Kids in the Hall…leaving only a pile of feathers, smoke, and a curious smell.
That dog groomer guy was so…uh…not worthy of that kind of reaction. Total butterface. Or whatever the male equivalent is.
I was very disappointed in Ramona…for her dish soap. Anyone else catch that shot? She uses that dollar store crap that is 98% water, 1.5% coloring and fragrance, and .05% actual detergent. Makes me wonder if Ramona is a real cheapskate? I don’t mean merely frugal, which is good. I mean, like, a real tightwad, which is…not. Makes me go, “Hmmm”.
Well, she stole two dresses from Bethenny’s show, so…I think you hit the nail on the head.
Agree on the dog groomer! He looked like Nick Nolte! Maybe Luann is desperate
omg she is!! Did you hear that argument they were having in the kitchen? Dorinda mentioned that she has help come in when she has guests over so she/ the guests don’t have to spend time cleaning… Ramona blurted out “pitching” as in she expects her guests to pay?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
(note: I guess she also could have been inferring to production, but still…)
On another note – I found the back and forth yelling between Leah, Tinsley, and Sonja to be very cringeworthy lol…. I feel the second hand embarrassment anyone who’s a Mortimer or a Morgan might be feeling… the fact that they keep on saying “your daughter’s a Morgan, but you’re not) is a little silly.
NYC is still good… but not gonna lie, I do miss Bethenny.
Omg the dog groomer was so pasty, sweaty and just so many things I can’t put into words! These women in RHONY are straight up babes who look amazing for their ages and the men they say are hot have historically been just pretty gross overall
Sonja’s yelling, at the top of her lungs, over and over, in these big echo-y houses, for 2 episodes now–my ears can’t take it. She needs a new act.
I need to see vibrator chicken. I napped and felt like the world’s prettiest horse when I woke up, the friesan with thick curly hair in its face.
I may have had a few cocktails.
I am way to sober to be watching this.
I’m watching right now, during the day, with my mom. It is embarrassing and yes, it isn’t as good without a cocktail or glass of wine!
The behavior in this episode was shocking. I can’t believe these are grown women.
That level of drunken mess and the screaming are such a turnoff. And throwing the tiki torches was kinda shocking. I expected the grass to ignite. I was surprised none of them started a fire. That said, I like Leah…when she’s not insanely drunk. But Ramona and Sonja I could really do without.
I 100% expected the grass to catch fire!! And what would they do then?….. oh yeah, that’s why production is there.
You are right, it can happen. They sent 8 fire trucks the time I set my lawn on fire. There probably wasn’t much else going on in the county that day.
Yes on the fire possibility, and I was also worried about all the broken glass everywhere–in the pool, by the pool, in the grass–all places where people would walk barefoot.
I slept most of the day, and am awake most of the night. I think I’m turning into a cat. Knocks something off of a shelf. Wonders if I am ready to cringe and watch the rest of the episode.
Belladonna, same! 🐈
Is it just me, or is Ramona as graceful on a tennis court as she is on a runway?
Leah Is a hoot and drunk Leah fits right in with the old ladies. I’m a fan. I didn’t realize that Elyse was even there. She’s not blowing my skirt up.
Mario was a star tennis player and Ramona has been playing and taking lessons for years. She has her own tennis court!! Is it production or is she really a terrible player?
Another Ramona question-why doesn’t she have pupils? Her eyes look bizarre this season. Is this a new thing?
It was an interesting dynamic of Leah and Dorinda vs Sonja and Tinsley arguing over let go of your ex-husband’s last name already. (Really, come to terms that this part of your life ended and you need to move on.) It felt like an even match instead of the group ganging up on one person.
I don’t think she is a bad tennis player, just not graceful. I say this as a person who once fell off a sidewalk while sober.
I’m afraid she is bad. Luann played very well. She is clearly athletic and looks great.
I have been eating every damn Girl Scout cookie I can stuff in my mouth and now I am old and fat. I know it’s bad but I just don’t have the energy. Thank gawd for leggings. You know, the ones I used to work out in at the gym. Sigh. I loved this episode. It was just what I needed. It was a bit of the more things change, the more they remain the same. Ramona is still the self-centered, uppity bitch we all know. It’s probably why she’s a serial dater, do they ever ask her out again? Methinks nah. Sonja is still a drunk. Gotta love a bitch who shouts out I don’t shave my pussy at an upscale cocktail party. Luann is still an entitled, man-eating dry drunk. Tinsley is silly fun with a heart of gold. Dorinda is still a mean drunk but I kinda like her. I am reserving judgement on Leah but I am more positive than negative. If Elyse is a thing, it can go away. I miss my BF but she is doing great work in this pandemic. The pro was hawt but, seriously Lu, he probably has more trust fund bunnies chasing his man bits than you could shake a racquet at. Waiting on next week.
This was meant as a reply to Psycho Suzy.
I bet you look great, Navymommy.
I have re-embraced my jeggings! (Ugh)
Currently sporting some with reflective skulls! 💀
Eat Dem Thin Mints, they see really good from the freezer.
We Will Have Time to Work This Off! 👍
Oh my. I just can’t with the screaming, extreme drunkenness and idiocy of grandma-aged “ladies.” Or of any-aged ladies, really. Cringey! Not what I want my daughters (or my sons!) to emulate!
Good thing the lit tiki-torch throwing didn’t take place in So Cal! We’d all be dead!
I am in the minority here, but I LOVED this episode. Almost all of them lost their minds. Maybe I have been self isolating for too long, but that was great episode. I am still laughing. 🙂
I thought it was freaking hilarious – I loved drunk Leah and Sonja together – they play good together. I want to see more fun crazy moments than Dorinda whining, desperate Luann and rude Ramona.
Put me in the ♥ column too. Great editing great-but silly- lines, a whole lot of laughs. Seriously, I almost got in trouble for just rolling with that episode and howling at it so loudly.
Leah may become one of my favorite housewives; love the way she sticks up for herself rationally, without getting angry. And I love her honesty and freedom, she seems to put it all out there and doesn’t try to be someone she’s not.
Just like I hated Ramona picking at Dorinda about John, I really hated how Dorinda picks at Leah about everything. Tattoos, hats, her shirt she was wearing after swimming, while.around only women, etc…
What the hell is wrong with Ramona? Why didn’t she hire people to do service and clean up? And what kind of maniac leaves her own party to go to another party? She just keeps getting more and more bonkers. And borderline abusive.
I’ve been quarantined for the past month, and all I’ve been doing is watching crap TV and eating. I felt as big as a house watching these women with their excellent bodies. Fuck, I’m going to have to start working out and putting the strawberry pie down. But I don’t want to.
Be safe out there everyone.
🍓🍓🍓❗
I am HERE for it. All of it. Ride or die to the end. RHONY are the absolute best. I feel like this exact partt/ hang out would have happened just like this even if the cameras weren’t there. In the midst of this coviid craziness was EXACTLY what I needed. Viva la RHONY!
Does cocaine cure hangovers? They were all waaaaayyyy too ok the next day.
Hey Tamara. Did you see the stuff about Leah and Michael Che! I love her on the show, and saw she was trending. Then saw the story about Michael Che.. ouch. Her texts were embarrassing. Especially since she first told story as him being an asshole…
Yeah, I read all of that when she was announced as a RHONY. I thought I wrote a post about all of that. There’s more than just Michael Che. She has a closet full of skeletons. I’m watching an old WWHL now where Meghan McCain says that Leah is smart and has written political pieces for some heavy hitters. I like Meghan and look forward to her opinions but this is sort of unbelievable.
These “ladies” are an embarrassment to all of us! All I would need is to see me act this way once and I would stop drinking, but these bitches just keep going forward. I wonder if they cringe after they watch themselves. Maybe they don’t watch, that’s why their behavior never changes. Hey I’m no prude by a long shot and only have maybe one scruple left, but these bitches made me cringe.
Did anyone notice the camera briefly showed Luann taking a sip of red wine?
I didn’t at the time because I am typing (recapping) as I watch so don’t see everything. But there are screenshots all over the Internet of her drinking wine at Ramona’s party. Also one of her former assistants who quit because she was a pain to work for has said that she never really quit drinking.
Long time lurker, new poster here! This has always been my favorite Housewives, even though none of them are housewives lol? Anyway after all that drinking I had to give it to Sonya for not looking hungover the next day. Maybe it was filmed at Noon lol. All I know, if it were me, I’d be all grey faced, quiet, and just seeking coffee and food before a word came out of my mouth lol
Welcome, Wendy! Thanks for commenting.
And did you see Dorinda sneaking in puffs with her Vape pen?
That I did see. It must be murder for them not to smoke at these drunken brawls. I remember Luann going outside to smoke in the Berkshires and they filmed it. Someone came out with her, I forgot who.
I think it was the anorexic girl, Jules, who was telling Luann about the death of a family member, and Luann just blew that off and then spoke about herself.
I am so glad to find that others were so put off by the drunken craziness and screeching. I was totally cringing and embarrassed for them. I don’t know how they can watch this and not try to change their drinking habits. It was almost as if they were overdoing all of it just for the cameras — and I got the same feeling when Sonja was screaming at the party the week before. Maybe I am just trying to understand how grown women can act this way. Maybe they thought they had to act crazier to try to fill the void left by Bethenny.
I thought I saw someone helping in Ramona’s kitchen at the beginning of the party. But agree she is a terrible hostess. If she stayed she might have stopped some of the insane trashing of her house. She is just selfish and self-centered.
LuAnne and Ramona need to rein it in when it comes to men. What man in his right mind would be interested in a serious relationship with someone who acts like they do around men — virtually any man. They reek of desperation.
NY was always my favorite show. This year, I am really disappointed.
It was, is, and always will be all about the NYC girls!!!!
So bad that it was good!!!
