Ramona fail English? That’s unpossible!

Ask Me Anything. A thread of questions and answers offered usually by someone famous. Or in conjunction with some sort of marketing thing. They can be entertaining or annoying.

Luann, Come On. You know very well you WOULD tell people what crest they could put on their shoes...

I Un! Durr! Stand!

I feel for Luann in this whole Instagram debacle.If I were in her shoes I’d probably be just as nervous. I can see why Dorinda and Bethenny would be wary of one another, but I see D’s Point. B only engages when it’s on her terms. D does kinda seem up for whatever.

Scheana is Ariana’s DUFF: Designated Unfunny Fatuous Friend

I was surprised by how genuinely entertaining it was. Not even like, laugh because it’s so bad. But like, it was actually really good. And Lu was good. I can’t quite say yet that anyone unfamiliar with her would love it, but if you’re willing to pay for a ticket (and you like what you see on Insta, minus Sonja’s “accident”), you won’t leave feeling like it was a wasted night. Unless you’re Sonja or Slurinda. (Ba dum bum!) Ben was there. (I assume it was the same Ben!) He fielded questions during her Q&A and also had to play Lu Guard when people kept trying to get up on stage at the end (kind of annoying). I confess I don’t know much about theatre but it definitely had that kind of vibe. Not surprised that the producer and writers have genuine bona fides. (Or “boba fires,” as my CA smartphone wants me to write...)

Ok, true confession time! I went to see #countessandfriends this weekend. My friend and I had a great time. To be honest, I think Lu spent more time on costume changes than actually singing... but, she had some good comedy bits, handled herself well with the crowd, and overall was a good performer. And she really does look amazing in person. The other singers were really, really, good. Going by the show’s vibe, it’s actually kind of fitting that she’s heading to the Catskills. There was a guy from Sur working the merch table. He was super sweet, actually. Fun to meet him.

I’m kinda behind but... Scarves, lip injections, and boho blouses! #relationshipgoals I was just thinking about this... for the most part, it’s a matter of degrees. Sure, there’s a Kim (take your pick) or Brandi every so often, but in reality, most cast members have good points and bad points, and in general, your “favorites” are based on who makes you laugh/entertains you or who you relate to. (I’ve stopped watching NJ and pretty much stopped Atlanta as well. OC, I’m going to see how this season goes.) But, I’m now at the point where NY is consistently the most *entertaining*. Sure, they have their ridiculous fights, like all these shows, but they seem a little less petty (or at least their humor lends levity to the situation). BH gets dark, OC verges on toxic, and ATL exhausts me sometimes.

Take My Finals, Please is a classic. Right up there with the “Twilight Zone”-style episode. ...Tootie.

Raise your splinted hand if you think Craig having “one more night” would make a difference...

I loved that! I may start using it... Episode title... Don’t threaten me with a good time, Show!

People who say things like “Well if SANDY likes it, that’s all that matters” drive me nuts. They kiss butt to the higher-ups and act in an insubordinate way towards their actual managers. It drive me nuts, but it seems to work.

I like Colin. I hope he doesn’t reveal himself to be a douche.

Agreed re: Kate handling these things better. They just reran the Original Flavor BD finale with Rocky, and Kate just wasn’t as ruffled as Hannah. Re: the deckhands, I’m not surprised they’re treated a bit more strictly. Messing up a dinner service is much less dangerous than messing up docking the ship or whatnot. Don’t get me wrong, I think she did more than just polish her resume, and I think that is wrong. But I’d much rather have a lame stew on a ship than a deckhand that didn’t know how to deal with the boat. Speaking of deckhands: I think that chocolate milk segment was the smiliest and most engaged we’ve seen Jamie. And I loved the way that Colin called out JWOWW on the bus. Doing the hard-press on Kasey, talking about marriage (hahahhahahaha), and he pops over to congratulate JWOWW on hitting on a bunch of girls that night. It was a great way to embarrass JWOWW and get him to chill, while maybe trying to enlighten Kasey to his douchey ways. At least that’s what I hope it was. PS thanks to whoever started calling João JWOWW. JWOWW is one of the lamest reality nicknames this side of Mike Boogie (IMO) and I’m glad to apply it to that dude.

I also thought she was there to give Andy a contemporary. It was a meh choice, I agree.

My guess is that JWOWW supports her also because Hannah is annoyed by her—and Hannah is snogging his rival.

I see ads for stuff we discuss here as ads in the forum all the time (sometimes to humorous effect). A big one is ads for luxury yacht cruises on the Below Deck forum. And an ad for Alcatraz when discussing TRav on the Southern Charm forum. :)

I have friends/acquaintances who homebrew, and I do like learning about it. But still, I hear ya ;)

That hasn’t stopped them from showing us other uninteresting parts of Austen’s life...

“Where from in Cali?” ”Frisco” ”Frisco is hella cool!” :) (For some reason, “hella”doesn’t bother me as much as it used to—I remember telling people in college that I was from the Bay Area and they’d say “oh, ‘hella’ is YOUR fault!” Me personally? Hahaha) Well if it *were* literal, I’d hope it’s a paperback. Those casebound books have very sharp corners...

And it’s so silly that we don’t see Austen actually trying to homebrew, or something. What else does he have to do? Sure he could work with the brewer but also be experimenting on his own. Beer Name: Average DudeBrew GuyPA

She looks lovely with that minimal makeup! But, I’m not holding my breath about the longevity of the relationship.

How about Gabrielle Carteris? They could have her live in Van Nuys. (PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW A TORI-FREE ZONE!) But not Eve Plumb? Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!

Kathryn looks a bit like the second coming of Loretta Lynn (or maybe a long-lost Mandrell sister). Meanwhile, Austen is giving us Ed Begley, Jr. realness.
