I am a bit shook after tonight’s Big Brother episode and am hoping that the HOH will be shown on the feeds. In the meantime, I shall forge ahead with tonight’s RHONY Recap. I noticed that photos of Ramona vaping at lunch with friends in the Hamptons have surfaced tonight. This is fueling the rumors that Ramona may be about to follow Dorinda out the door for next season and that Leah may be the new center of attention as Bravo tries to reach out to the much coveted younger viewer. I guess I am in the minority but I am not really that interested in Leah.
These Bitches Are Too Old For Streetwear
I just realized that Sonja’s new apartment is on Columbus Circle right where the Bravo offices and the WWHL set is. She can just stumble home from WWHL without needing a cab. I am so over Sonja’s fake fashion line. Sonja is still trying to sell her townhouse. I suggest she just take any offer she can get. It’s just a lot of trouble. Sonja doesn’t want to be a landlord.

Meanwhile, Luann and Ramona trash Dorinda. Leah invited Elyse to her upcoming 15th anniversary of Married To The Mob party. When Luann alerts Ramona to this news, Ramona completely trashes Elyse. I guess Ramona is down to 49 girlfriends. I’m bored already. My adrenaline is high from Big Brother. That was exciting. This is just same shit different episode. The RHONY cast don’t seem to get this is a party to celebrate MTTM which is streetwear. This means they are all inappropriately dressed. I am awaiting Ramona’s entrance. She at least went to Leah’s store to get some appropriate attire. Oh wait, she is there now and she is wearing shiny gold pants. Why did she buy streetwear then?
What Does Elyse Have On Ramona?
Someone is going to have to remind me how Ramona managed to ostracize Elyse. When Ramona snubs her, Elyse tries to grab her arm (not in an aggressive way) to get her to talk to her and Ramona goes all Mariah Carey on her saying, “I don’t know who you are!” Did I miss what happened with these two? I am fairly lucid tonight (although my pregame coffee with a protein shake is wearing off.) I know I can’t remember shit, but seriously, it seems like Elyse just disappeared for a few episodes. I don’t mind Elyse but I did expect her to be more interesting. When Elyse calls Ramona out for whatever happened between them, Ramona bolts from the entire event. It seems she gets production has set her up.

This is one of the better episodes of RHONY this season. I am still bored. I do want to know what Elyse has on Ramona though… The next day, Luann calls Ramona to find out just that. All Ramona says is that Elyse has negative energy. Then Luann says she is “writing a book.” I love how all these housewives see themselves as authors when they all hire ghostwriters. I remember when the NY Times Best Seller list was about real authors. I hate this whole scene. Luann is the worst fake crier of all of them. I used to love Lu but this is just annoying. She said at Leah’s party she drank Captain Morgan the night before.
Dorinda’s Birthday Party
Am I weird? I mean I know I am weird. What I mean is I don’t understand adults throwing themselves these elaborate birthday parties. I just try to ignore my birthdays. Dorinda is throwing a party for herself at Russian Samovar. I checked out the menu and it just isn’t my thing. This is NYC and there are so many choices. This would not be mine. What do you guys think? I very rarely drink hard alcohol. I like to drink a lot. So it is best I stick to beer and wine. And I rarely if ever drink at all in public these days. Well I mean I haven’t left the house to go to a bar or restaurant in nearly six months but even before that.

Luann on the other hand is drinking vodka at a bar. Not wise. Dorinda’s good friend Colin Cowie and his boyfriend arrive. Ramona seems to think Dorinda should not have invited John. Shut up Ramona. No one cares what you think. It’s Dorinda’s birthday and if she wants John there, John should be there. I do think Dorinda used John though. But hey, a girl has to keep her free dry cleaning. One thing I agree with Leah on is that Ramona is totally awful even when she thinks she is trying to be nice. Ramona told Leah, “Your mom was much smarter than I thought she was. I thought she was going to be a ‘simple person.’ ” Jesus.
It’s Like Luann Thinks She Is Marilyn Monroe Singing To JFK
Dorinda is so well behaved tonight that I am going to miss her. She tries to help Sonja close out all the apps she has on her phone and Luann tells her to get off the phone. If someone did that to me I would shove my phone right up her ass. It’s Dorinda’s party! You are not the boss of Dorinda, Luann. Then Ramona chimes in. Can’t we have one nice party? Le sigh. I know the answer to that.

John gives a sweet toast to Dorinda. So then of course Luann must do the same. Which is fine. Let everyone toast the birthday girl. But of course Leah thinks it is inappropriate. Who gives a fuck what Leah thinks. Everyone should give a toast to Dorinda. Isn’t that the whole reason she threw herself a birthday party? John’s toast was short and sweet and about Dorinda. Luann’s toast was way too long as if she and Dorinda are best friends. Luann is drunk as a skunk. This is not a toast this is a verbal dissertation. Then Luann forgets that there will be no autotune on the show and sings Happy Birthday. No one joins in. Dorinda mocks her in her talking head and seems to be laughing at her at her party.
Thank the baby Jesus next week is the finale. I need for some of these shows to end! I am so underwater right now. I can’t stay caught up on recaps and my email box is KILLING ME. I look forward to having time to pee and maybe was a dish or 97.
I actually really liked this episode and wasn’t bored at all ?♀️ Maybe we will get some empowering moments in next weeks finale of a gang up and a character assignation. Hooray for Bravo
Just checking in for the recaps, I never watch the show! Who cares what Johnny-Come-Lately Leah thinks indeed, lol! I must say, you can really see the difference in Sonya’s face…
Hope all is well and you take care of yourself ?
I have never laughed so hard at an episode in my life!
Between Leah talking about the Countess magically finding microphones and Dorinda imitating the countess singing, I was on the floor!!
Definitely bad edits for Ramona, she’s a goner.
I was laughing so hard too at Dorinda’s “SNL skit” of LuAnne!
For sure Heather McDonald and her barbies will be all over this!
SNL needs to make this a skit…FR!
I have been watching this entire season with my daughter and we have laughed our heads-off! This episode wasn’t even that funny to me but I’ll do a re-watch when my kid is here. RHONY ranked up there with the season-marathon binge-watch on Hulu of The Mick for dark humor that I needed.
Leah McSweeny-I didn’t get her either but my daughter fell in love with her from the start so I gave her a chance and I’m glad I did. She can hold her own with the “old broads” so personally I would not change a thing with the cast although I think that THEY ALL probably need to go to alcohol rehab next season.
I have to throw-in a comment here about the editing. The pacing,comic-timing,and the special-effects like the background music have really tied things together this season for me and yes it was drunk and dumb but it was just what I badly needed during this crazy time.
It’s weird watching the promo for RH of Salt Lake. There are screens with one house wife from each franchise and Dorinda represents RHONY. ?
So weird.I binged Rhony today wish I didn’t, Columbia trip. But I recogni zed like all but 2 or 3. They show the commercial a lot. Sad seeing Dorinda. I fell asleep at Luann with the writer. Looks like some good stuff left. (Dorinda not freaking)
I’m with you about the mystery of Ramona and Elyse’s conflict. She was at Ramona’s birthday party, right? Then she disappeared and when she came back Ramona suddenly hated her. Ramona said “ She’s not a girl’s girl, I brought her into this group and now she’s like a friend jumper.” It sounds to me like Ramona got jealous that Elyse hit it off with the other women. I wonder if Ramona was complaining about Leah to Elyse and Elyse was defending Leah and Ramona decided Elyse wasn’t the ally she was hoping for. But obviously production knows something so why not just spell it out like they do everything else?
I didn’t miss Lu when she was demoted. In Mexico she was chill, whatever. This episode she annoyed the fuck out of me, ugh. Sonja is just iconic I would miss her but I’d love to see her without Ramona. I’ve been enjoying Leah.
I wonder if there’s Cease and desist involved here ?
LOL I had a similar thought. Denise should get that lawyer’s name.
I am starting to guess it’s about Ramona’s pooping problem! Remember the talk about how she shit her pants and was still flirting w guys at the bar?! And there was NO talk about it on the show.. but LEAH brought it up on instagram.. What if Elyse told her about another story when Ramona shit during sex? Elyse’s instagram story where she was talking about why Ramona can’t get a man. Then Leah popped up and said “she shits during sex.”
I wonder if that was brought to Leah’s attention during filming and she brought it up and Ramona had a cow, threatened lawsuits, etc:. ?? Just a theory. ??PS COULDNT HAPPEN TO A MORE DESERVING HOUSEWIVE. ?
WOW…Ramona literally thinks that her shit doesn’t stink…entitled idiot.
Agree with you all! I was watching, thinking this is the best episode this season! i was laughing my ass off in dorinda’s talking head saying Luann’s happy birthday thing could be an snl skit.. where she shows up at the bus stop… or a Bar mitzvah ? REALLY made me sad that Dorinda isn’t going to be a part of the show anymore.
AND SONJA!!! MY GAWD! ???? I love how REAL she seems to be. She was having so much fun with the guys at Leah’s party! “you had Captain Morgan last night. You’re with Lady Morgan tonight.” !!!! ??? love her.
Based off tonight’s episode, I’d say Ramona is the one who needs to be gone. The other girls all bring something to the table.
It also made me miss living in Minnesota. I’ve lived in Newport Beach, CA for the last 7 years and those christmas cozy scenes are really reminiscent ❤️
Okay that is all for now.. lol ?
I agree with you about all of this. I like when Sonja is having fun and flirting with all of the men. Now this is a party! The SNL skit comment in the talking head from Dorinda about Luann and her happy birthday song was so true.
When I moved to California I missed the snow during Christmas
OOh one more thing, I cried during Leah’s mom’s speech at the married to the mob party. Her mom’s speech brought me to tears and my two year old asked me why i was sad. No judgement please that he was still awake watching with me.. oops
You do what ever you want!!! Keep the kid up all night. WE have got to do whatever to be happy. Lol. And p.s. Your kid will be the best!
Thank You! ?
I was born while Dad was in Korea, living with grandparents who arose with the sun. Even as a baby, I was a night owl. Dad came home and worked rotating shifts. Mom coordinated our schedules around Dad’s workshifts, overlapping time to shop when grocery stores closed at 6p.m.
NO ONE in our little Berkeley hood judged because LOTS of vets worked rotating shifts. I think it’s APPALLING when I hear people judge and I ALWAYS stick up for people. When a mother has a child in a 24-hour supermarket, DON’T ASSUME she’s negligent. Often, she is a health worker who just got off work or is just getting up and this is their “morning” together.
Similar to the mentality that those of us working nights (which often go along with working weekends and holidays) have it “easy.” Oops, I ranted. Sorry.
thank you!! ?
Amanda my daughter was born a night owl like my mother. She would quietly play in her crib as a toddler. She could happily stay up playing Barbies until 2 am while my mother would read when she stayed with her grandparents, which was a lot because their lives revolved around my kids. Then they would sleep until 10am. At 40, she is still this way as is her daughter. It is torture for them to go to bed at a reasonable time to wake up at 7. Thank goodness her hubby gets up at 6 with her son who is an early bird.
YES!
I remember being at Denny’s after midnight with my two year old and eight year old in tow. We had been in the emergency room for a laceration and stitches half the night. No dinner. Dammit, we were having midnight burger and shakes, and the looks I received, the JUDGEMENT. It was sickening.
Moms and Dads need to feel supported. I wish my parents had relinquished the rules a bit.
You know what? i’m really feeling this episode so much that i’m rewatching it right now ? UNTIL the negativity fighting starts during Dorinda’s bday dinner. Before that, i was getting serious Sex and the city vibes! and i was loving it!!! Maybe they need to fucking switch from drama against each other and document the drama of the GD sexual relationships these ladies have w their husbands or significant others! that’s what made Sex and the city such an awesome show! It was a show about longtime friends who were each other soulmates… through the thick and thin of men. That was an absolutely awesome show in my opinion and i miss it.
?! The first S&TC movie is the exact vibe I’d like to see. Grown-ass women celebrating their successes and friendships. Not acting like 20-somethings out drunk and bickering and trolling for hookups — and true love. (That’s what the 20s are for, as Carrie Bradshaw says.) It’s the immature pettiness that I can’t stand. Ramona.
AGREE!!!
Ok. I just wrote an essay about this episode and then deleted it before submitting. I’m going to try again. I don’t think we know what happened with Elyse. Leahs clothes aren’t great or expensive on her site, so I totally don’t get her business. Also, I’m whatever about her. I don’t find her to be a breath of fresh air and I don’t like her drunken tantrums but, since I’m sure we’ll be seeing her again next year I won’t hate, I’ll just stay whatever. Dorinda also basically asked Lu to sing to her on the phone before her party and then trashed her for it. And of course her toast was too long. I think with this episode and the BH finale the editing seemed out of whack. Like maybe Dorinda’s Birthday should’ve been the finale like Dorit’s party? I blame corona. Oh and I’m beyond over Ramona.
Leah came in as Tinsley’s friend, Is my memory failing me? I don’t know how Elyse was brought into the group. Was it as Ramona’s friend? I don’t feel like I got to know her at all. I wonder what footage with her we didn’t get to see. I was curious as to why she wasn’t included on the trip to Mexico.
Haven’t Elise and Ramona been feuding all season. On their trip to New England, Leah whined at Ramona “but MOOOOOM you invited Elyse and you two aren’t even speaking to each other!” or something along those lines.
Ramona has removed RHONY from her instagram bio.
I hope that means she’s out the door! Thanks for the info!
Ohhhhhh… I hope that’s a sign she’s out. ???
Saying Elyse wasn’t a “girl’s girl” was ridiculous coming from the one who ditches out early on her so-called friends to rush off to a date … or two.
But the “friend jumper” comment topped that. From the woman who refused to invite Sonja to her birthday party the year before when one of their mutual friends suggested it. Friends she allegedly met through Sonja. The very definition of “friend jumper.”
And if we think LuAnn is tone deaf, Ramona is the epitome of the other definition of tone deaf.
No she didn’t. It’s on her IG page.
It was definitely removed yesterday. A few of the housewives fan pages have posted about it as well. She also removed the @ bravo tag as well
If she removed it, it’s there now.
She must’ve put it back, I tagged you in one of the fan pages that noticed it was gone. When I checked back yesterday it was still not there. Seems she’s added it back this morning
yeah, that’s normal
After the RHOBH nothing show , I liked this episode. Luanne is delusional and her breaking out in singing at Dorinda’s dinner was too funny. I will miss Dorinda but she has issues that need to be dealt with off camera. I don’t think Leah can be a main player here but we shall see.,.
Luann’s singing is less Marilyn Monroe singing for JFK and more Bill Murray singing for the lounge on SNL, bellowing, “Star Wars! Nothing but Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr Waaaaaaaaars!”
This is so good. Thanks for the laugh.
@gogobooty I’m crying!! ??.
Dead.

I really do like Leah, but mostly because I like the way she interacts with the others. For some reason I feel like she did actually breath some much needed energy into the group. I have really enjoyed this season when they are all getting along. They seem to legit have fun together and it seems “real”. Someone else mentioned watching the Columbia trip and I also binge watched several of those last season episodes yesterday. It highlights what I do not like about Dorinda. The complete denial of her over drinking and bad behavior is a pattern that is hard to watch. But I also really like sober Dorinda. Buzzed Dorinda is fine too. Drunk Dorinda is very no bueno. I will miss her from the show though.
Sonja in that pink dress for her interviews is stunning. I noticed binging yesterday Sonja is so ignored. Very sad.
It was time after time that conversations were going on and she was talking and not once acknowledged.
I really felt bad.
I love Sonja. Her reaction to all the dudes at MTTM party was priceless. I love her joie de vivre. She, Lu, Leah and some newbies should be next season’s cast.
Sonja was DEFINITELY the MVP of the episode. Hysterical!
She is very quick witted. I think her beauty is coming from within as well. She really was great and so kind this season. And calls a spade a spade. She sees the good in things. Compared to Ramona, she just looks better and better.
TT, this is my new Kindle.
I loved this episode too! Leah’s party was great and Sonja jumping in the guys lap was classic! Elyse has been in the background around Ramona at parties & bars for years. But I think the key word is BACKGROUND! Ramona doesn’t want her to be front & center! I wish Elyse would have spent more time having fun with the other guys than fighting with Ramona!
Leah, who I LOVE, summed up Ramona in one year what most of us have been trying to verbalize for years – totally unaware & socially awkward. She thinks she is the successful social butterfly, while her words and odd flirting make you cringe time and time again. Talking about Leah’s mother? Seriously?
Dorinda has the best sense of humor in this show – along with Sonja and now Leah. Dorinda’s one liners are legendary. I will miss the gangster in her. We laugh AT Ramona behavior and Luann is fun. But Dorinda, Sonja & Bethanny were the true comedic talents. Ugh. I will hate to see Dorinda go. We have had so many housewives go through serious stuff without getting the boot. I hope she comes back better than ever!
I’m telling you, I think Luann keeps a battery operated microphone holstered to her calf under her clothing.
Dorinda making fun of Lu’s singing was hysterical. THAT is the side of Dorinda that I love. I won’t miss the mean side.
I cuss like a sailor but didn’t like Leah and the “this bitch” during the announcement giving thecsister a share. I see what her Mother is saying about her. I like her in the cast but not as a focal point.
I think Leah is a foul mouthed, badly behaved mess. She ruins every event she attends, I’ll never get over her low re t behavior in Newporf!
