Sorry for the delay on this RHONY recap. I’ve had a lot of backend work on the website this week. And, once I got caught up on that, all I want to do is sleep but only during the daylight hours. So I am way behind. Let’s catch up with the RHONY!
Oh Jacques is back! Luann and Jacques meet for lunch at an outdoor cafe. Why can’t Luann pronounce Jacques? She keeps calling him Jack. Jacques is engaged. Clearly, she is not a hair stylist. Despite the fact that we saw Luann drinking wine on the last episode, Luann continues to pretend like she is not drinking. Jacques is a stand-up comedian now? That seems odd.
Dueling Restaurant Scenes
Dorinda is doing some sort of nostalgia walk through her old neighborhood. If she loved that townhouse so much, why did she sell it? Too many memories. She stops in at the local bistro she used to go to with Richard every week and is joined by Ramona, Sonja and Elyse. Let’s see if Elyse talks at all in this scene. Sonja is on the liquid diet. Me too, Sonja, me too. I’ve been out of wine for days and today was the delivery day. It did not arrive until almost 8 pm and I was dreading not having any tonight. And then my new best friend, my Fed Ex guy finally showed up. I love him! This meeting is all about Dorinda bitching about Tinsley. I am so over this argument. Dorinda is a size six? She thinks she is a full figured lady. I don’t think she is a size six, do you?

In yet another restaurant scene, Tinsley goes to lunch with her mom, Dale. Tinsley tells her mom that she broke up with her boyfriend, Bruce. Dale never met him. Bruce was from Chicago. She admits she dated him in Chicago hoping to run into Bruce. Dale basically says that Bruce probably didn’t want to be with Tinsley anyway. And she takes a jab at her lack of kids. Mothers. What are you going to do? Tinsley is aware that she is the target this season and tells Dale she is not going to put up with it. It seems Tinsley has a backbone after all.
Mommy Issues
Sonja meets with her business partner about her Target overstock “clothing line.” In shocking news, the fashion show didn’t give her a single new sale. She is trying to do a pop up or something in a store. Good luck with that Sonja. These are clothes that didn’t sell at Target. I’m not kidding! Click the link!

Wait, Luann has invited the girls to a comedy event for an anti-bullying fundraiser? All these women do is bully each other! I am bored and really want to get through this so I can catch up on Top Chef! Leah rode to the show with Ramona who tried to give her advice on how to make things better with her mother. He mother has stopped speaking to her since she decided to start drinking again after nine years of sobriety. Her mother must be furious after seeing her completely wasted, naked and throwing lit tiki torches at Ramona’s place.
A Not So Funny Charity Event
Dorinda asks Tinsley and Leah to go to lunch. Tinsley seems to want to have lunch with just Dorinda. We get lots of scenes of Ramona being a bully to people. Of course she doesn’t think she is a bully at all. The same thing happens with Dorinda. Luann continues to lie about her drinking. The scene where she suddenly needs water and drinks vodka instead was ridiculous. No one serves vodka in a water glass. Then Luann tells jokes about drinking on her probation. This is a total shit show. Then drunk Dorinda gets into it with Leah and Tinsley.

Next week: The shit show moves to a pumpkin patch, where Sonja pees in the corn maze on camera. Because, of course.
These fancy Yankees exhibit a lot of white trash behavior. Avia was right.
I watched the show this morning when I got home from walking my dog, so your recap timing was great for me. Very strange show last night. I believe Dorinda buys clothes with a size 6 tag in them because rich people clothes have size 6 tags on size 8 garments. The fact that she thinks size 6 is full-figured is a little disturbing. Dorinda is just so mean spirited. I don’t know what her problem is right now but she’s in serious need of therapy. When she was encouraging Lou to drink and criticizing Elyse for trying to stop Lou, it made me cringe. Jacques as a standup comic was another cringe-worthy moment. The meeting Sonja had with her business partner was just sad. It just doesn’t seem to sink in that she’s not a successful business woman. Lou is also definitely not over Jacques.
This size bullshit with celebrities and wanna be celebrities is asinine. How can Dorinda be a 6??? She’s not big, but not exactly small either. Was she talking about her shoe size? Kim K told she was like a 2 one time. So do celebrities have clothes made to fit the ass and tits and then have a tag of the size they wish they were sewn in?
Maybe John sews new size labels into her clothes for her.
🤣
Tv adds ten pounds? 😂
I tape Kelly and Ryan every day. and they are both SOFA KING SMALL. Like how can humans be that small? And the I realize everyone looks fatter on TV. How can they be that small?
Today’s size 6 was the 80’s size 12. I have a skirt from 1985 that was a 6. It’s freaking tiny. I wear a size 2 and I can’t get the 6 above my knees.
Size 6 or 8 she looks great! She’s a beautiful lady! But that look with the floral jacket and frosty-white lipstick? Why?
Yeah, not good!
I had no idea that Dorinda and Richard were married for 6 years.
I was under the impression they were married for much longer. She presents it like they were together for decades.
Omg we posted the same comment at the same time! Hello friend!
Yup and she was already dating John 4 months after Richard passed away. She’s been with John longer than Richard at this point.
She acts as if they were married for decades. I wonder what that is about?
Hey friend! Great minds think alike.
Wait how did I miss this? I’m pretty sure I’ve gone longer than that without showering at this point. 🙂 And for those of us who are old maids… We’ve gone longer without cleaning out our refrigerator. HOW DID I MISS THIS? I think I ignore Dorinda most of the time.
I’m reading this while watching a show called Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition and Sonja is attempting to cook a full rack of lamb in a toaster oven. They are flashing warnings on the screen as she talks. This is the best thing that has happened all day, I had to share with you guys 🙂
What? I thought Worst Cooks comes on this Sunday. How are you already watching it?
First episode is On Demand. I’ve never seen this show, I looked it up because of Sonja and she cracked me up.
Thanks. I didn’t realize ON Demand had the shows early. It’s been on for several seasons and it’s always pretty entertaining.
Thank you! I did not think this aired until Sun. I’m glad I saw your comment. I found it on On Demand.
What channel is this show?
Food Network!
Tinsley is screwed if she goes to lunch with Dorinda alone or with the both. I personally do not think anything good would come out of that lunch. Dorinda is jealous of Tinsley.
Tinsley should bring her mother to lunch with Dorinda. Then let’s see how Dorinda behaves!
I agree!
I truly think Dale and Dorinda would team up on Tinsley
What happened to the engagement between Tinsley and Scott?
We haven’t gotten there yet.
I couldn’t believe I liked Ramona on this episode. First time ever. I thought her advice to Leah was spot on.
Sonja and her delusion over her “line” is sad. ZERO ORDERS? Wow. I think she could have done well with a good toaster oven in NYC, where people seem to pride themselves on not cooking and keep their sweaters in the oven. Her “lifestyle brand” and Tipsy Girl look to have tanked.
I was really impressed with Ramona, she was gentle, yet blunt, with Leah on how to approach her mother. And it was very good advice, I thought.
The Century 21 stores Sonja was raving about are nothing more than high(er) end TJ Maxx or Off Fifth (Saks). They sell mostly overruns and stuff that was not sold in the original stores. They do have some high-end stuff, but it is definitely and outlet type store. Tourists flock there for deals.
I thought Dorinda wants to make peace w/Timsley, not to keep arguments going. I hope they can, dorindà amd bethenny seemed close & Tinsley is about same age as BF, it just seems this season Dorinda & Tinsley got off on wrong foot a few times. I hope they make up & are friends like Ramona & Leah appear to be bonding, its great. LuAnn was over the top w/pirate remarks etc. Sonja calling her out on that was funny. Thanks TT.
Tinsley is 5 years younger than Bethenny and 7 years older than Leah, but I see more of a connection with Leah than I did with Bethenny.
I too thought Dorinda was genuinely attempting to make amends with Tinsley and bringing Leah along was a great idea. Dorinda took Tinsley’s dislike to the idea personally, again she felt like she couldn’t do anything right for Tinsley. Those too are in too deep of a rut, don’t think they will recover.
Side note, I have a creepy neighbor that randomly is there every time I step outside to have a cigarette. I only smoke after my kids are asleep. I think this dude is following me. And he is 50’s and he is outside anytime I have a cigarette after 12 at night. I will turn on a light in my kitchen if I step outside to smoke and I swear this man let’s his dog right then. It is weird.
That is creepy. When you get that gut feeling that something is up like that it usually is.
Very creepy.. trust your gut. Stay safe
Loved your comment TT about bullying ladies at an anti-bullying fundraiser’s! Had to laugh out loud.
I watched a video where different types of narcissists were explained, and it was said that one of them for example are people that can be involved in charities and thinking very highly of themselves doing so but actually really do not care.
I too noticed that Luann can’t get Jacque’s name right, she keeps pronouncing it zhACK instead of zhAHK. I found it so annoying.
Oh and Tinsley and her mom at lunch? ZERO chance they ate that pizza AND the other food they hid behind their purses. Whatever momma had was really large in height in a shallow red bowl. I was dying to eat that pizza!
Lu used to do that with her son’s name as well. Would pronounce it in two different ways. Noel (one syllable) and No-el. Drove me nuts.
How about Sahn-ya instead of Sone-ya? She is the ONLY one that pronounces her name like that! She is so pretentious and thinks she’s a great speaker of French and yet she can’t pronounce Jacque. What a strange woman she is!
Me too!
I feel bad for Dorinda.. She is pulling a Sonja in the sense that she yearning for a life she used to had. Richard brought her stability and security… and a very nice standard of living, much like when Sonja was married to her old man husband… The walk down memory lane was a nice bit for the viewers but I hope this does not become a habit.
Also – the restaurant they were at is the cornerstone of DRAMA. The owners sued one another. One former partner got booted out. They banned single woman from eating alone at the bar cause they’d assume they were there to grab rich men…a British ad exec wrote a whole article about her experiences trying to dine at the bar… And a lot more other stuff goes on lol. Never once ate there.. would always just walk by on my walks on the Upper East Side.
And they size you up before deciding if they have a table for you. Very snooty.
My guess is Richard was the love of Dorinda’s life and she is pissed it only lasted six years. That’s pretty sad. I hope she gets the help she needs to get over it. Until she does, she is going to be a shrew.
Dorinda and Ramona encourage Lu to drink because they are as addicted as she is. Her drinking makes them feel better about themselves. I don’t care if Lu or Leah drinks all season long. They are grown. But Lu drank the minute probation ended. Does anyone doubt that?
Dorinda has turned into a bitter person. I don’t understand her beef with Tinsley. She’s obsessed with Tinsley revealing every detail of her love life. And Dorinda wouldn’t let Elyse speak when she was telling Luanne to resist drinking. She became angry and talked over her and defended Luanne drinking. But I agree with you that Luanne probably drank the minute probation ended. And if she’s still going to AA she’d have a sponsor who would see her drinking on the show. What’s the point in having a sponsor to help you stop drinking if you’ve decided you’re going to drink and are telling the media “yes, I’m drinking again and I can make my own decisions.”
No sponsor means you aren’t working the program. I think.
Lu definitely has been drinking. She was only trying to decide if she’d do it on camera — and we know what happened. She knew that drink wasn’t water and she looked obnoxious drinking and drinking it.
She left Ramona’s beach house to tie one on. She wasn’t “out” yet.
Now, we can see Lu is going to party per usual. On lu’s worst drunks, she can’t top Sonja for lewdness and Dorinda for slurred meanness.
Lu was always pretty cool 😎. Her numerous falls in Mexico are classic HW. I dare say Lu set the damn bar.
Dorinda, who may be a problem drinker, arguing that Lu can drink was a crazy bit of projecting. Size 6? Hmmm, I think most of the ladies are getting that gravity waistline despite their best efforts.
Sonja in that awful dress hearing about her lack of sales was just Sunset Boulevard sad. She lacks that intense motivation and doggedness that Bethany has that could lead to success. Actually, I am over the hobby businesses of these housewives. From clueless runway shows to bad liquor, it’s gotten ridiculous.
I was shocked at Ramona. She was kind to Leah and protective of
Lu. Never saw that coming.
Did no one else get a Kelly Killoren Bensimon vibe from Jacque’s fiancee’?
I get tired of the fake rollouts of non-existent “brands”. The housewives think they can slap their name on a handbag/perfume/clothes/skincare and say they have started a “line”. Other housewives came on the show to promote their actual brand, like Heather and Yummy Tummy, but does anyone know of any housewife product other than Bethenny’s Skinny Girl that was created while on the show and actually exists?
Maybe the Dubrow’s skincare line? But now that I’ve said it I feel l may get laughed at for not knowing it also is not real..?
I have seen several episodes over several seasons of Worst Cooks Celebrity Edition. It’s all Bull crap and production driven. The celebs act as though they have never entered a kitchen, touched a utensil, and act clueless to what food they have ever eaten. Latoya Jackson was on and acted like she has never used a knife . She tried to cut something with the blade of the knife pointing up. Mike The Situation was on and acted like a moron and every season of the Jersey show he was cooking Sunday dinner with his cast mates. Kenya Moore was supposed to be on but she was cut before the first episode ever aired because she was so rude and demanding toward the crew , production and hosts. I’m sure Sonja will dial up the idiot factor. Can’t cook? Funny coming from a women peddling great homemade meals done in a toaster oven. I guess the celebs will do anything for a paycheck and a laugh.
Luann drank wine last episode? I must have missed that. I think we all know she probably never quit drinking completely. As each season arrives, I like Dorinda less and less. She really seems frail this season. I know she had broke a rib but seems kind of hunched over and moves slower. Until she starts drinking… Hope she gets some serious therapy soon. She seems to need it.
. . .And a new makeup artist. Her looks are not being gently highlighted. Everything is too hard and needs blending. Frosted lips? Noe
The make is is horrid as well as the outfit. Not only are her lips frosted, there is white foundation underneath her eyes that are not blended, she looks better with no make up at all.
I’m watching a Lifetime movie that I recorded last night & LuAnn is in it! She had a small role but she did OK.
I think Bruce is made up, I’ve read people think he was Billy Bush. I also find it weird that Scott proposed out of the blue.
Dorinda is not a size 6. 8 maybe.
I love Leah.
There are rumors that “Bruce” was just a code name for Scott. I mean what are the odds that she met another guy from Chicago while living in NYC?
The caption of your recap is hysterical. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told something similarly phrased, haha.
