LuAnn got demoted to friend of. I’m sad about that as I liked her the most. I figured Andy would keep Sonja out of pity.
Awww. Sorry to hear that. Of all the NY ladies on now, I like her best.

Great synopsis of this episode. Kadooz! Especially reflections on Sonja and Leah. Pathetic. I think that Sonja remaining on the show is a pity thing. She is so broke that her paycheck from RHONY is what keeps her alive. I don't know how much longer we will have to be subjected to her humiliating displays. I woudn't be surprised if she is gone next year and Bethenny's new best friend. Bethenny will be the Welcome Wagon for fired housewives. She has a love hate relationship with Bravo. She hates Ramona and Lu because they saw through her BS and chose not to kiss her SkinnyGirl ass like Dorinda and Sonja.
Leah will likely step up her game even further next season. Will be interesting to see the new women and the dynamics. Also wouldn't be shocked if Ramona is on borrowed time.
I think you're absolutely correct about Sonja being kept on as a HW due to the pity factor. Dorinda and Sonja are Bethenny's hangers on because they respect her cash and will accept everything that comes along with being her friend - perks and burdens alike. Considering what I currently believe is their respective terrible financial situations, they don't mind puckering up to kiss SkinnyGirl ass when necessary.
I'd be lying though if I said I'm not concerned about the direction RHONY is going. Same for RHOC. Heaven help us -- considering Leah and Braunwyn, these shows are going downhill something awful.

One last parting shot -- Dorinda made such a point of shoving Luann's arrest and mugshot in her face whenever she approached Dorinda about her drinking problem. She delighted in torturing Tinsley throughout last season, and then this season Bravo gave her that vicious tagline "Like a mint in my mouth ... " which I think was intended as a sort of fuck you to Tinsley.
So my idea now is, for next season Bravo should give Luann the tagline, "I might have a mugshot and a record, but I still have my job".

In the beginning, I said I was team Jason and got crushed what a bad guy he was. He tolerated all the assistants in the small apartment, tried to give her some resemblance of family in Pennsylvania with his nice parents, but she wouldn’t have it. She insulted the town, which was in poor taste. He helped her in Canada when she was making Skinny Girl. He tolerated her, then he was the bad guy? Now, he’s giving her a hard time with the divorce. I don’t blame him one bit. I just hope Brynn is as close to him as with Bethenny. I still would Love to hear her Mothers side. Why I wonder didn’t she write a book yet? Is she being paid off?
OMG - they were anything but nice people. They demanded that Jason and Bethenny drive 2 hours each way twice a month to visit them. This, even though she was at a critical point in selling her SG brand, all while she was pregnant or had a newborn to care for. Jason did many nasty things to her (locking her dog in a closet all day is just one example) to drive her out of her property and he succeeded. He had his mother notarize a fraudulent trust that gave Jason an ownership interest in the condo she bought with her own money before they were married. They did their best to steal Bethenny's property and she was in court for many months to get it back. Ultimately the judge wasn't fooled, and Jason's mother was forced to admit that she notarized the document on a date when Bethenny wasn't even in the country. They were both shown up for the crooks they are, and I hope she lost her notary license over it. Not that Bethenny doesn't have horrible faults, but that Jason and his mother are total creeps.

This might be old news but, I just read somewhere that Bethenny and Dorinda are doing a new something together? They don’t say what. Yet. She had very high praise for Dorinda. Did she not watch the show all season?
Bethenny has a habit of taking in damaged strays -- so now it's Dorinda. And Dorinda should feel like she's been taken down a peg or two so she'll probably take it down a few notches now in order to be BFFs with Bethenny and all the perks that entails.

Because of the way she was laughing at Leah? I don't know. I don't know her mother's actual reason for that. I imagine if I had a child nearing 40 who had a history of acting out or demanding attention I would probably choose to laugh at some point instead of yet again trying to react in a more constructive but fruitless manner. I mean, c'mon, a 37 year old woman having a meltdown over the prospect of her father being unable to walk her down the aisle at a hypothetical wedding ceremony? Now she's deciding to act like a 17 year old with a hope chest living and planning for the day of her big traditional wedding? Is this all an audition for "Keeping up with the McSweeneys"?
She's 38. Going on 17 - LOL.

They all know she’s a nut job, and did she have to drop that bomb about Rob? She wishes he would marry her, but he’s smart. Really, what did she bring to the show? I’d rather watch the regulars as I could relate. Leah acts like a child.
Hell, according to Leah they were together for 6 years -- he knows her. Plus her admitting the thrill is gone for both of them illustrates perfectly why he always seems to keep her at arm's length. I'd bet money he has a relationship that he's keeping hush-hush around her.
On 10/2/2020 at 5:48 AM, 65mickey said:I don't find Leah funny, charming or interesting. But Andy is pushing her just like he did Dorinda for years. That didn't end well for Dorinda who spiraled out of control with her alcohol abuse, lost her job and needs to be in rehab. Same will happen with Leah. She has no impulse control and says and does anything she thinks will bring her attention. She brings nothing to this show but a new level of drunk inappropriate behavior. I hope Sonja doesn't try to compete with her next season.
Well said -- and so true!

I'm so late to the party, I didn't even know this episode was coming. I read something online about it last week and when I checked, saw I had one last episode to watch.
Let me just start by saying Sonja has been so cringe the last couple of seasons -- the clips of Sonja derping out were almost sad. Almost everything she does is calculated to grab the spotlight, from showing her bare ass to drooling over random men in her vicinity to hiding under a table in a restaurant she's just so embarrassing and mostly not funny at all anymore.
I think how eggs are cooked and served is one of those things that most people are pretty particular about. Tinsley was brave to have even tasted those anemic looking "scrambled" eggs - did Dorinda dish them up with an ice cream scoop? And I couldn't figure out what that was that on the side? Cherry tomatoes and something else? Whatever it was, the whole plate looked gross (Hannah's favorite, my ass!) and I would have tossed the whole thing in the garbage. At least Luann's looked like you'd expect scrambled eggs to look. Those two are so self centered, I suspect that since both pride themselves on their fantastic cooking, probably neither one of them can cook a lick.
I so agree about Leah's latest bizarre lewk. The make-up, the hair, the choker all just way too attention-seeking. Of course she has to make a big point to look edgy by wearing "sex" in big sparkly letters across her neck. Maybe it's because she isn't getting any -- isn't that what they say? The ones who talk about it the most are the ones getting it the least.
Richard should have his own tag line -- I swear I haven't heard one episode where Dorinda hasn't mentioned Richard. She's so pathetic making everyone shout Happy Birthday to Richard. She's so far off her rocker. I'm glad the guy asked who's Richard. Sonja saying her eyes were rolling at Ramona's drink order -- but the true eye roll is the extent to which Dorinda goes to dwell on everything Richard. She behaves literally as if she must worship him.
I did finally get a good laugh with everyone else in Leah's family at her absurd display -- at first I thought she was joking around. Crying because she's "never going to be walked down an aisle, Mom, it's not funny" as she stomps around the room. Oh yeah, chick is so edgy and chill. I'm liking Bunny more and more now that I see she has Leah's number and isn't swayed by her antics. The only one who wasn't laughing at her was Sarah's baby.
Martin certainly pegged Leah's immaturity in about two seconds. Dorinda in her baby pink lipstick and garish patterns - ugh!
I love Lu and normally she looks put together, but that star necklace and red dress with cutout shoulders that makes her boobs look like pancakes -- burn those things!!
Oh Leah, in your dreams you manipulate men to get what you want. I'll bet money that hasn't happened in the last 20 years. I thought her black short sleeve turtleneck was her best TH look. Dorinda -- you have NO room to talk about anyone's fashion choices.
So it was Sonja's eighth season when she started looking like a bag lady. I have to say she looks good in her TH in this episode, but it looks like it was after her facelift. Maybe that's why her face looked so swelled up and weird in some of the scenes she was in -- her facelift before all the swelling went down. Showing Sonja at the reunion she looked awful with her puffy face and too short unflattering bob.
I was glad they showed some footage from years ago -- it's always interesting to see how much time changes everyone.

That was a very nice thing to say. It's too bad that Dorinda seems to have taken a turn into left field with her behavior though. I mean, she just veered right on off the map!
Of all of the comments made by these ladies over the season, that comment seemed to garner the most disgusted look I've ever seen from him. That was truly beyond the pale. Even if some people wouldn't have been offended by it, Tinsley was, and Dorinda should've known better than to say something along those lines. Even the other ladies gave her the side eye before laughing. I'm sure they didn't want to incur Dorinda's wrath, but I am disappointed in them for not having the courage to stand up to her. It only encouraged her though. If Dorinda truly cared about Tinsley, then she wouldn't make comments like that, but as we can all see, she went for the jugular and truly enjoyed hurting her. She's a sick person.
I remember watching that scene, seeing Dorinda so pleased with herself after saying it she tried to high-five Luann (who was sitting across the table from D), who just grabbed her hand and gave her a look, trying I guess to make Dorinda see what she said wasn't funny.

I can only assume that the Leah focus and fat raise (more than 3x the original offer) are a Bravo attempt at attracting a younger audience...but they should know where thier bread is buttered! I pay for the new season every year, because I don't have cable and I can't wait for it to hit Hulu, but I don't plan to watch next season at all.
Leah comes off more jersey shore than ny housewife. If I want vulgar, drunken idiocy I'll tune in to an MTV show. Even at the shore, she's the Angelina (aka trash bag).
Sober Leah is better, but her bratty teenager still shines through. As does her sisters (whom I'm sure anyone continueing to watch will be treated to on a regular basis). Being a 35-year-old rebel ain't cute!
Especially when the rebel just turned 38.

Thanks for this, Ms. Blue Jay. I know I miss out on a lot because I don't subscribe -- I spend enough time watching the shows and commenting on Primetimer, I don't need more distractions - LOL.
EDIT: Of course she's got her hand on a martini glass and her boobs are on display.

I absolutely love china sets. I don't have a set that I picked out, but I've got my grandmother's and it brings back so many good memories. It makes me sad to see so much of this stuff in antique stores knowing that a person's family didn't want it, or didn't have room for it. I've always wanted a Christmas set, but since our family has dwindled down, it wouldn't be practical. I would have several china cabinets full of beautiful china if I had the room and the money!! 😉
I know this is off topic, but my grandmother used to sell fine crystal and china. When she died she had 8 sets of beautiful china to pass on with lots of the matching serving pieces as well. My mother took the one I wanted, and closer (meaning physical distance from her house) family members took almost all the rest, so I was left with a fairly large set of a run of the mill pattern that none of the others wanted. I used it for Thanksgiving dinner several years in a row. I recently offered it to my daughter if she wanted it because she has a lovely home and does entertain some, but she turned it down. Times have changed.

Now that we are getting a peak behind the curtain hiding the infamous fourth wall, my opinion is the puppet masters/writers/production aren't doing a very good job. Maybe they should take some classes in creating an interesting show. Thinking about going back to see what Vicktor is doing on Y&R. Its been awhile. Used to be a daily regular, and never felt sick to my stomach after watching an episode. Dorinda and Rinna are vile and their behavior being tolerated and encouraged is what is wrong with the world. The only reason Dorinda is gone ,imo, is because she went into lawyer/lawsuit land. That she is flaunting her happy self on social media instead of hiding in shame says it all. She is not making the world nice.
I'm not on Instagram or any of those other sites -- what has she been posting?

Sonja seems to be jealous of Ramona's "50+" friendships. I think she wants to be her one and only best, best friend! Why can't Ramona have a lot of friendships/acquaintances? If she's out and about every night as Dorinda claims, then she's bound to have a lot of people she sees socially that she considers friends. It's not her fault that the other sad sacks sit around bitching about their lives. I admire Ramona for getting back out there and enjoying life post-Mario. Yeah, she's a loon sometimes, but I think she has a good heart - misguided at times, but not malicious.
If having a social life is her thing, then good for her! I am a homebody, but I can appreciate those who like to have a social life, but if I lived in NYC and had money, and was single, then I would enjoy getting out and seeing what fun things there are to do there.
ETA: I really was expecting some kind of blow-up with Dorinda on last night's episode. I'm still wondering at what point did Andy & Bravo decide to cut her loose? There has to be so much more footage that we weren't privy too. I'd love for the producer and behind-the-scenes folks to spill the beans. I mean she was completely out-of-line with Tinsley, but I guess I was expecting the other shoe to drop last night. Instead, they all piled on Ramona. Andy seemed to be enjoying that, in my opinion.

I think that in some way, Dorinda knew going into the reunion that she was in somewhat deep shit, I also think that by her saying that she should have taken the season off because she was fragile, it would get her off the hook. Andy was OVER her. Goodbye, Dorinda! (tm Ken Todd)
I think Dorinda was absolutely taken aside and given a lecture on how to behave at the reunion -- which is probably why Dorinda kept the scream-spitting and accusations to a minimum.

I’ll bet none of them bother with her now, except Bethenny. Why? I have no idea, unless she thinks she can fix her. Supposidely, now she has a new love interest on the burner. God help him, whoever the fool is. She’s got a bad reputation now.
If Dorinda has met someone, you can be sure she'll be on her best behavior and love bomb the hell out of him until he becomes more comfortable and relaxed around her. Then she'll slowly, little by little, become contemptuous of his imperfections. That is, unless he's rich. Then she'll continue with the love bombs.

No one is saying that's no big deal if it's true. My guess is the truth falls somewhere in the middle of Denise's and Heather's stories. I think it's gross that the show became a "let's beat up on Denise Richards" show. Why weren't some of the other women's lives a bigger part of the season? The gossip we hear about them is current, and I'd say a lot of it would fall under a "big deal."
I think the truth of Denise and Sambora becoming a couple was public knowledge within days after the Heather-Sambora marriage breaking up. This was never in dispute as it was widely covered in the celebrity media, and considering her marriage to Aaron took place so soon after his divorce from Nicolette seems like just a coincidence she was neighbors (if not actual friends which I'm sure she'd never admit now) with both couples?
I wouldn't doubt how some of her co-workers would think it was time to let Denise Fucking Full of Herself Richards know that (especially being the highest paid of the show) that the others failed appreciate her taking off during filming and essentially leaving her co-workers to carry the load without her, her frequent lies and repeated attempts to play the innocent likely became pretty irritating as the season wore on. It's just my opinion, since none of the other HWs have talked about it.
But okay, so to you it's no big deal if she banged her neighbors' husbands. I think it's skanky and sleazy.

Has this been confirmed by Bravo though? The Magical Elves don't usually make someone who is going out the door look all that good at the reunions. /Denise from RHOBH
Andy didn't want to poke the bear (as Dorinda refers to herself). I think Dorinda was told she has to get professional help in order to be asked back. Andy, knowing that Dorinda is never wrong, knows that she won't get professional help and thus has nothing to worry about when he extends to her the hope that she "might be back". This way, Dorinda feels like she hasn't been made a fool of (which would cause a nuclear explosion in the Berkshires that would never be forgotten) so she leaves Andy alone, doesn't try to never miss a chance to make derisive public remarks about him or the show, and makes it possible for her to become a sleeping dog who's unlikely to cause trouble.

Denise came off kind of bad in that one scene. She really did seem like a huge control freak. The bravo bravo bravo thing made her seem a bit crazy.
This secrets revealed episode wasn’t even that great but it was better then the entire season combined lol.
Except for Rinnas daughter. I never need to see her.
Is Denise playing dumb or is she actually that dumb about her kids lol. Her daughter sneaked out at 2am to get pancakes? Ok sure. How would she not think her kids would find out about her past such as playboy. Not saying her kids are some wild crazy ppl but Denise cones across so dumb.
Yeah, I thought that was a pretty stupid excuse and I can't believe she seemed to believe it. What was wrong with the pancakes in the freezer - doesn't everyone with kids have frozen pancakes on hand?
EDIT: Does it even matter why a kid that age is sneaking out at 2 am? Were she my child, I doubt I'd be cool with any reason offered for having done it and there would be swift and severe punishment.

This episode it was Sutton's party, and The Hair!! Gawd, I'm such a flower freak I was in heaven looking at all those flowers.
Garcelle looked fabulous. She looks so much younger with longer hair, especially compared to that dreadful bob and head piece she wore to the reunion. I liked Sutton's hair and dress in her talking head better than the style she wore to her party (I'm starting to really like Sutton). Count on her to always make an odd choice for a party dress.
Rinna's hair looked so good - I don't ever remember seeing her wear that style before. Dorit looked her usual sleek and chic. We rarely see Ericka dressed casual and I liked how nice and casual she looked at the party.
What the ever lovin' hell is a tuna cigar?? It didn't look appetizing. The convo between Sutton and Ericka re Southern mothers was everything!
Were Kyle or Denise even at the party? In her condition, I wouldn't expect Teddi to show up, and Denise probably wouldn't show anywhere with these ladies if she wasn't being paid (hell, she failed to show up even when she WAS being paid). The more I see of Denise, the less I like her. I'm glad she won't be back next season.

Very old gossip? Yeah, it's no big deal that she has a history of banging her neighbors' husbands.

This! 100% You can really tell in her writing or when she’s mouthing off ridiculous things that she’s still a rebellious sixteen year old trying to jab her parents.
Try rebellious six year old -- I have this feeling that Leah is one of those kids who were only children for a good number of years before gaining a sibling, and has never forgiven her parents for their disloyalty. Leah is still punishing them for Sarah. And Sarah knows she's a thorn in Leah's side and uses it against her (remember: Mom told me she doesn't like you). It doesn't get more obvious than that.

S15.E02: Tequila Truth Serum
in The Real Housewives Of Orange County
· Edited by Anne Thrax
Someone might have answered this down tread, but Matt lost his job after Gina had him arrested for domestic violence. He'll probably do a little jail time behind it, since Gina did have some minor injuries. The authorities take that shit pretty seriously here after OJ/Nicole.
