It was a "child free" event, outside of Portia. If memory serves, it was held at some Royal Family location. Hoity Toity.

Rinna is the WORST. She's worse than Erika. She's honestly the only one I want to see gone for next season. I would like to see what Erika brings without her barking dog at her side. Rinna needs to be canned. Periodt. She's such a gaslighting jerk. She is not entertaining. She's long past her expiration date on this show. LONG past.

Erikuh was married to a high powered attorney for 20 years and doesn't understand what "Dismissed Without Prejudice" means? OMG she looked stupid being all proud of the one case being dismissed (without prejudice). Erikuh decided to be a big baby and avoid Kemo Sabe, so she should have been left alone. That was so shatty of Dorit to stay with EJ vs going to her BFF's event. And lord knows Diana would have stayed with EJ anyway (mostly to keep an eye on her stuff), so - no reason for Dorit to not show up for Kyle. EJ has no compassion for ANYONE besides herself Dorit. So stop taking up for her. Whatever for her performance with Crystal. Crystal dropped the mic in that convo. Lawd. I'm glad they're not all up EJ's arse.

Watching now. As we've almost all said ad nauseam, Erika is AWFUL. Her going at Crystal and bringing up how she hugged Crystal, was all about being against Sutton and was not about having compassion for Crystal. Period. And whatever with Rinna bringing up something about Kathy that she was the only party to witness. Spare me. She's so gross. They need to yeet Rinna. I'd take take EJ back for one more season, if it meant we'd finally be rid of Rinna. I assume Diana will not be back. And they need to cast someone who would go in Dorinda style on EJ. She has too many peeps who, for some weird reason, have her back. Dorit goes with the wind so I don't mind if she returns.

apologies if someone already asked this, but, the friend of Dorit's who is interested in Garcelle - is his name George Glass?

Erika is so crass. I don't give a chit about all the alleged sex she's having. Maybe she hasn't had any in a coupla decades and is making up for lost time, but I feel like she talks about it for shock value (no duh, right? lol). She has some nerve telling Garcelle that Sutton is a liability. Like Erika herself isn't an actual liability to be connected to. I'm glad Garcelle stood up to her about it. And I'm glad she told Erika they need to give it a rest when it comes to Sutton.

Dorinda just can't be kind. She's been "going through something" for what, a decade? Since Richard died? Before he died? I hope she seeks out some help, because who wants to go into their twilight years that bitter? Lawd. She sweats all the small things. All. She should never be back on Bravo unless it's a genuine attempt to grow as a person and to acknowledge how bitter she is. AKA. It will never happen. I wish her happiness, but keep her off tv.

I thought overall this was a fun episode - I wish more of them went this way, that's what I liked about S1 of RHUGT, overall it was fun and the usual sh!t stirrers were actually mellow - we got to see another side of them. They drink WAY too much on S2, especially Dorinda. She's been drunk every day/night. I don't get it. She needs a therapist and maybe some xanax.

This! And the thing is - the Brandi/Adrienne thing has NOTHING to do with Taylor other than she was there when it happened. It's been a decade, Adrienne got over it. Why dredge it up again? If Taylor wanted to speak on something Brandi did directly to her, I might get it because this is an opportunity to discuss - although part of me is like, a whole lotta time has passed, let the mouse go (TM Sutton). But - production probably encourages discussing the past so - yeah, Taylor, keep it about yourself not old castmates and Brandi. Taylor is not a nice person overall - I saw her on one of those marriage reality shows with her new husband. They were both nasty. Maybe she's just better at keeping that side at bay on Real Housewives (although I never really liked her, she was quite phony). I would have liked to see her try to go across the table at Brandi - LMAO. Grown woman who accused her ex husband of abuse is ready to abuse a woman over something that had nothing to do with her. Someone explain that one to me. I enjoyed the scene with Phaedra comforting Brandi and the two of them cracking up at the notion that Dorinda is old enough to be Brandi's mom. Not to mention the bartender cracking up to. That was a real moment. And one that makes me miss Phaedra on RHOA.

Yeesh. Dorinda. Take a Xanax. I mean, when I stay in hotel rooms or an air bnb, yes - I likely eat in my room. She was like a dog on a bone and it wasn't cute. Vicki was surprisingly sedated when that scene went down - must be the meds. Slip some to Dorinda.

Gosh... for a moment in time we got to not hear about what happened to Dorit. It was magical. Then she had to drone on and one again.

I'm up to the competition scenes and gosh darn it - they made me laugh out loud literally. Jill with her pimping her products, and the "did she die" comment. Thank you for that ladies! It's fun when they are all behaving and getting along. I'm also continuing my belief that they should have brought only Tamra on, not Tamra and Vicki. I'm actually not minding Tamra - when Vicki isn't around. And I can't believe Vick got paid for appearing since she's barely phoning it in. What a wet noodle. Pffft. I'm probably enjoying Eva the most. I remember her from her ANTM days - it's great to see how much she's grown since then. Brandi - I want to root for you! It's hard tho. I was on her side most of her time on BH, until her falling out with LVP and the extra weird side of her came out and stayed. It's such a shame. If she'd just sober up a little and realize how she comes off, she'd be successful on reality tv. I know for some reason they have to bring the drama to stay on a show, but... not this much... anyway. I don't hate her, but... I've had my fill. Hopefully she mellows out a bit as the episodes go on. Tamra. The Charo hairdo, not a good look. Just saying. I see the rest of the women seem to agree with my impression - Tamra is more enjoyable without Vicki. She should take that to heart and start distancing herself from that energy vampire.

OK. I'm loving Phaedra and Eva. Get them back on RHOA! And I love how they dealt with Brandi. Also - beyond obvious but.... Brandi needs to back off the booze. I watched her on Celeb Big Brother via the live feeds and she was actually "normal". I'm sure a lot of this behavior is what she thinks makes good tv but she'd do herself a solid if she sobered up and was just herself. I just can't with Vicki and Taylor cackling. Yeesh. Take a xanax.

I really wish they opted out of bringing Vicki on this - she's awful. In fact it would have been nice to get to know Tamra without her around. She's just so negative. The fact that VG didn't get vaxxed while all the rest did - should have been enough to not bring her along. Anywho. I do not miss her at all from RHOC. Her schtick was old by season 2 of RHOC so...yeah. Yawn. Phaedra and Eva - I'd hang with them if I were there. And sober Dorinda. Surface comment - what the heck is up with the foundation VG, TJ, BG, and TA are wearing - it's horrible. HORRIBLE. You can see their outlines on their faces! Oof. It doesn't match well and doesn't seem to work in natural light. It really makes me miss the earlier seasons of RHONY where they dared to be seen without makeup (or very little). So overdone. And laying in bed with white sheets and all that makeup. Pffft. Jill's entrance was a good flashback chuckle. Glad to see she could poke fun at herself. I sense she's gonna annoy the jeebers out of me as this season progresses, lol. Hard seeing those flashbacks when you compare her face from then to now. A little heavy on the plastic surgery.

When did Crystal lose her voice and why does she need Erikuh to speak up for her? I mean it is crystal (no pun intended) clear what EJ is up to. But still. STFU Erika. I loathe her so much. Can't they cast someone who is not the one with her? Someone who will knock her off her narcissistic pedestal? Calling RHONY Dorinda...Bethenny... Anyone??? Bring back Brandi G? Someone that would intimidate her a bit. I'm so tired of the Rinna Jayne show. And then they bring on Diana who is clearly part of the coven. Yeesh. ETA: I can't imagine getting off on making someone else feel bad the way EJ and LR do to others. They live for that chit and it's just not cool. That knowing grin between each other is gross. I do have faith that EJ will F with the wrong one and find out. It's only a matter of time.

Honestly. I love that Margaret won't roll over and be docile for Teresa. All those other women would if she was on their backside the way T is with Marge. Can they let the mouse go when it comes to how Marge and Joe became a couple? They've been married quite some time. We get it. Move on.

Teresa's mouth is something else. How embarrassing. She can get her point across without resorting to swearing. So unnecessary. I doubt she has any real friends. And the ladies she surrounds herself with are ones that kiss her butt. I'm honestly shocked even Delores seems to be checking out (I know there is some backstory likely related to Dina, but still)

Oof. That spandex body suit. No. Just no. And with tall white cowboy boots? She put that together and thought it was a good look? Lawd. She needs to retire from the show and go focus on her love tank or whatever she wants to call it. It's too bad the T we saw on RHUGT won't make an appearance on RHONJ. Which one is the real one, or at least closest to the real one? ETA: The dinner. Why is T rewarded from doing the bare minimum? Why do most of these ladies kiss her arse STILL? She's nearly 50! Grow up T. Yeesh.

I'm super late and catching up with this season, so I'm just watching the episode now. How utterly immature and embarrassing to behave that way in a public restaurant - that mouth on Teresa! Screaming obscenities at the top of her lungs - I certainly hope no kids were there. I mean, honestly it's unacceptable even in private, but oof. I honestly don't get what is so admirable about Teresa that she still has so many stans. She needs professional help if she's really like this off camera - maybe this is a persona she adopts for the show, who knows. I think she's far beyond her expiration date on the show - so many other OGs with similar personalities have been given the boot. Just saying. I know it doesn't make for good tv but at this point, I'd just ignore her, and not give a toot about whether or not Luis is good for her. Time to disengage. LOL

Thanks for the link - with that backstory, I 100% understand why Kelly left. Honestly, she hung in pretty long with Julie. I couldn't hang with Julie myself. I'd have disengaged with her from the jump. And the fact that she showed cast members a photo of her husband's erection? Sweet baby jeebuz what is wrong with her? I wouldn't have accepted that at. all. Mad respect for Kelly.

So - does Danny have a sponsorship with Carhartt? Nearly every scene - a Carhartt tee shirt ;). While I can understand Matt feeling like he needed to bow out of the Tarot reading, he could have done it without his self-righteous babble. Just say "I'm going to sit this one out, have fun guys" and go upstairs. We all know why he's skipping it. He does seem to be able to be nice, but there is an undercurrent of judgement that I would not be comfortable being around personally. Anywho. I'm really enjoying these reunion seasons - I'm old enough to have watched S1 the first time it aired - it's fun seeing the old casts.

E6 - Kenya... I don't mind her giving Ramona chit because it's long overdue BUT - John's dinner was not the time, not the place. Be better Kenya. Ramona "flirting" with John is ridiculous. He's being nice to her, but he will NEVER take her on as a mate, she should know this. If he's single, it's for a reason. Not really husband material. I don't even know if he'd shag her honestly given he can likely find a younger woman. I don't know. Ramona is horrible, and old enough to behave better. No shame to her age, but her immature mentality. Blah. It's too bad we don't see a different side of her on this trip - like some of the other ladies who are coming off better on this show vs their individual RH shows... (Kyle, Teresa, Melissa, briefly Kenya - lol). And dang - Luanne going after John, she's totally that woman in your circle of friends, who you tell you are interested in someone and then they go after that someone just because. Horrible... LOL. Now Luanne, John might shag...

Ramona is an arse, but I've known this since S1 of RHONY. Sure, she's had some amusing moments, and I appreciate her telling Aviva to "Calm Down! Take a Xanax!", as well as i was on her side with her beef with Jill, however... it's been long overdue to not renew her contract. She's HORRIBLE. I never had an issue with Bethenny giving her heck, she deserved it. Petty note - for all the work Ramona has had, why hasn't she had her tummy worked on? Is that just booze bloat? She otherwise seems pretty fit, especially for her age. However... I hope this is the last we see of her on any housewives programming. It's enough.

Are you in the US? Not sure if that matters, but I am and I pay $4.99 for the base, ad version, and then $5.00 more to get rid of the ads, so it's $9.99 a month total. I don't know TBH if you can get the show at the $4.99 level, but usually they run free trials on streaming services, might be worth looking into once the entire season airs, if you can get the premium free, you can binge it in a weekend ;)

I heard that too but given they were wearing face masks into the restaurant (I think episode 2) it was filmed during the pandemic - not sure if 2020 or 2021 though... these past two years have kinda blended together,LOL
