You mean there's no annual convention of network owners where they can rub elbows and schmooze?

Meeting all of your luxury vacation needs, for your next family/friends getaway. Who doesn't love a good old-fashioned snowball fight, followed by hot cocoa and s'mores by the fire pit? -Thinking about it,... it's probably not a good idea to arm Housewives with hot beverages, especially after having them pelt each other with snowballs -because you know at least one person is pissed they got hit in the face

Maybe she thinks it will give her access to people who have power or clout in the industry that can help her.

I am Loving drunk Emily! Can you put your initials on a few more things?

Dr. Moon! Holy shit! How old is he? He'd probably retire if it weren't for the money Shannon throws at him.

I also liked Meredith telling Whitney to save her brain cell

Funny how often that question comes up. I had flashbacks to my childhood and the divorcee next door attempting to shovel snow in her fashion boots. Heather, you live in Utah, you ski,..surely you own the appropriate footwear for snow. Speaking of what people are wearing...was the new girl trying to channel Erika Jayne in her red talking head outfit? Were they instructed to look as ridiculous as possible in their talking heads this season?

I was thinking Whitney has some balls criticizing Meredith and her bathtub scene after that sex-painting scene she did with Justin, that cost him his job. We were, at least, spared the visual, thanks to the bubbles. And, how is a bubble bath skeevier than slapping paint on each other during a televised "sex" scene? At least we didn't see where Meredith's toe went (I think I just threw up a little, and now I need brain bleach).

I think it's more an issue of the others being bigger assholes than Jenna; she seems better by comparison. imo. So far, IIRC, the most offensive thing she's done is trying to leave Erin's Hamptons house without telling anyone, which, yes, is rude, but, imo, not as bad as Jessel's incessant whining, Sai and her food issues, Brynn flirtiing with the "groom" and "father of the bride" at a vow ceremony, and Erin's shit stirring. She's one of the lesser evils in the group (so far) It's fairly obvious that Bravo does not listen to or care about the viewers and what we want and don't want on these shows. Viewers complained about Bethenny and her gratuitous product placement, so what do they do? Replace the entire cast with influencers.

Is anyone else hoping Sai gets mad at Erin so she can say "While you are a mean girl in high school, I am in Brooklyn"?

Did we ever figure out what she does for work/money? She made it sound like she grew up in poverty, but there was no pulling-herself-up-by-the-boot-straps explanation of how she got to where she is financially. Is she Bethenny 2.0, with men paying for her rent and lifestyle?

Because Tamra is not on the phone chain. I'm guessing she doesn't get the drunken calls (anymore, since she left the show), knows they happen, and prodded the other women about it to get them talking about it. Why though? Is she trying to get back at Shannon for ghosting her? Or is she just evil, knows bringing it up will create a season long story line with fingers pointing all over the place while she sits by and does tequila shots with that smirk on her face.

And how much did they still owe on it.

Can we please be done with shirtless Ryans/Rynes?

I was thinking that too. The one friend seemed to know exactly what was happening, and acted immediately. There didn't seem to be any confusion or time needed to figure out what was going on.

I had to laugh at Shannon during her lunch with Emily. She asks for the lowest fat/calorie menu item, the waitress recommends the salad, she orders a burger -no bread. When the food arrives, she eats the bread (with butter) that Emily ordered.

Drink every time Heather says "escrow"

Hey Bethenny, get a hobby! Shouldn't she be busy filming herself collecting donations and handing out cash cards in Maui?

I can't help but wonder how Latvia Laura would have behaved with the porn guests. Would she have claimed to know a better way? or compare moaning skills? Would she have volunteered to prepare or be the dessert table? I'm guessing she would have found a way to get in on the hose down by Adam.

I think Jenna may have found it easier to claim she had an event, especially with some of these women. She knows they will accept having an event as a valid excuse, whereas, some may not understand her desire to be with her child rather than the other cackling old hags. She seems like she would rather not have to explain herself to people that don't understand her point of view. Just a theory

This reminds me of when Eboni joined NYC; she made a comment about being put off that her boyfriend chose quarantining with his children in NJ over staying with her during the height of COVID. She couldn't understand why

She said they had never exchanged vows, so it isn't really a renewal... Maybe there's still hope?

Yes, you do. And, please report back

Don't get me wrong, I love quirky, neurotic Shannon with her 9 lemons and festive party costumes, getting upset at not being able to open a refrigerator without spewing its contents, and it's nice to see her boating confidence, but she is behaving like a domestic abuse victim when it comes to John, and the other women are, rightly (imo), concerned for her. Maybe not for her physical safety, but for her mental health. Agreed that she is afraid of being alone

The part that got me was when she said, more than once, that they have what she referred to as normal arguments, like every couple has, that "paralyze" her. Shannon, while most couples do have arguments, it is not normal, nor should it be acceptable, that those arguments "paralyze" one of the involved parties. That's not a healthy relationship.
