    That seems to be typical of Ramona this season - making plans that may offend someone, and then, blaming it on someone else!  She did the same thing with Dorinda and the charity dinner (changing her table seating) and her birthday party (excluding Sonja).  There was also something about Ramona extending her stay in Florida and not including Sonja. 

    Yes, it was really shitty of her for the previous events, but not sure if she needed to include her in the Art Basel event.

    At the Halloween one someone said something about the previous one and when that started.  So that's two.  Then when Bethenny said no one wants to go to 5 cabaret shows Lu didn't bat an eye.  If I had to make a bet I say this is the third show in 3 months of filming.  But I would also bet, like previous posters, that she is guaranteeing cameras and RHONY in the audience.

    One is enough. Also, they have been subjected to her lounge acts when Money Can't Buy You Class was her first "hit".

    Oh, something else I noticed in this episode--I'm not going to call Bethenny an "alcoholic" (I've watched enough episodes of Mom to learn that it's a "self-diagnosing disease")--but the way Beth treated alcohol at Barton G made me uncomfortable. She was gulping down the hard drinks right and left, all while professing to be so freaked out by her diatribe against Luann that she couldn't remember what she said ("Did I call her a name?") Bethenny was so upset at Luann that she had to leave the table, but not before grabbing that precious drink. As soon as she returned to the table, there was a different, purple drink in front of her that was practically gone by the next scene. 

    I'm from New York, so I know from expensive drinks, but I've also lived in Miami, and the price of their drinks is obscene. A cocktail in NY that would cost $12 might cost $18 in Miami. It's partially because their drinks are super strong. How much does Bethenny weigh? I think she said 111 lbs once. One strong martini should be enough to make her feel herself. I had one strong martini when I first moved to Miami, and my mom had to drive me home!

    Again, not saying Bethenny has a drinking problem, but on a scale of Jill (teetotaler) to Luann (threatening to kill cops), the woman is approaching a solid Tinsley. 

    Not sue if she has a drinking problem either, but I wonder if she might be trying to calm her anxiety with booze. That's how I crossed over the line from social drinking to dependency. And ironically it ended up making the anxiety worse, which I discovered after getting sober. It's a slippery slope.

    I definitely get a waterbed, beanbag chair vibe from her....

    And macrame plant hangers. Maybe the reason her decor is all brown and orange is to mask the spray tan stains. I was disgusted with what she did to the furniture and floor in that room.

  2. Just caught this again last night and here’s my take.

    Not discrediting all the things that Beth has allegedly done to help Lu - but Beth was getting amped up in her resentment and anger toward Lu for days, maybe weeks. That morning, she started lining up soldiers – feeding Barbara an antidote to Lu’s “Kool aid”. You could feel her agitation escalating and Lu was just giving her more and more gasoline to add to the fire. Look at how she freaked out when Lu went to give Barb a hug at dinner. I do agree that Beth is in need of intense psychotherapy and not with a camera present and some TV shrink. She has a lot of deep issues that are surfacing and this looked like a complete mental breakdown. Worse than Scary Island. I also feel terrible for Dennis’ family to have to witness this, not to mention what Bryn may experience.

    Lu was being insufferable all day. From making Sonja change her clothes for the AA meeting – Lu was not about to be upstaged where she would have a captive audience. She was absolutely obnoxious when she came back from her “two hour swim and photo shoot”, bitching about the lack of time for her massage and hair blow out.  She must have been aware of what time they were going out for dinner and she's damn lucky that Ramona waited for her.

    Lu is devoid of humility, gratitude and compassion. There is a condition in the book of AA known as self-will run riot and Lu has this in spades. Her ego and lack of self awareness are out of control. If Lu was capable of saying thank you, or I am sorry, for ANYTHING, I doubt that this would have devolved into this grand mal shitshow (thank you earlier poster for this epic description).

    Sonja’s reaction to the meeting was pretty over the top, but not a “360” as Lu described it. I am almost certain she must have been raised in a household where French was the native tongue, as Lu’s inability to articulate comes out as Frenglish.

    Tins needs a dating coach - that was excruciating.

  5. Like, this is so firstratink!  WTF is this stupid recap crap. Like, it was bad enough seeink it all the first time. Is this show such a steaming pile of toxic waste that they had to go here to try and resuscitate this season? If CH and the rest of the production had not interfered so much it probably would not have sunk to this level. Really Hannah is the worst pick they could have made. She should come back in 5 years when she grows the hell up. Rant over.

    Pao seems to think her baby’s birth is going to be like a spa day. She said something like she just needed a pool and candles. Yep that’s all you need, appropriate mood lighting should be high on everyone’s list when bringing another life into this world.  Gotta look good in the birthing photos. Better keep up with the makeup too. 

    Yes, won't it be charming if she poops in the pool, especially if Ross is in there with her. That will be a lovely photo.  She lives in a dream world and is so bloody obstinate to not listen to a thing her mother says after 6 births! Everything is Pao's way or the highway.

    Why didn't he go into the police station to find out when she would be released? 

    This! I kept yelling this at the screen this over and over, but got no response....... maybe he still had on his plaid pajamas that were not fit for public display.

    About the Chantel and Pedro saga. Chantel has the emotional maturity of a 6 year old. "Nicole is a big fat meanie because she said my hair was ugly. Waaaa, it's not fair!" And I loathe Nicole. And to think this whole thing started a couple of years ago all because Chantal lied to her parents about why Pedro was in the US. However, it does not excuse either family of their abhorrent behaviour since then.

    I was SO wishing it was Nikki who tapped.  Miss "OH, what wall can humans have?  We can do anything!"  "OH NO!! I can't use a knife and I now have a less-than-a-half-inch cut!"  Put a band-aid on it, you whiner.  I have scars 5 times that long from 40 years ago.  *NEWFLASH*  I didn't die, and because I was an idiot around barbwire didn't mean I could neglect the fact that the horses still needed to be brought in.   SO, I officially dislike Nikki.  Team--NOT Nikki.   

    I really wanted to like her simply because her hometown (NOT Echo Bay) is adjacent to where I'm from. I would never have known that except for an article in our local community newspaper last week about her and her being on this season of the show. But unfortunately, she is irritating me and also doesn't seem to be living up to what she has listed on her resume, at least so far. Will give her a little more time.

    Amber's obvious attraction to Matt at the reception looked like it was getting steamy....

    Amber is lucky school is out for the summer and she doesn't have to face classrooms of 8th graders the morning after the episodes air.... 

    I actually thought she was acting like she was one herself! I can see nerves being an issues, but also see some red flags here. Didn't her sister say something about the guy in her previous relationship being a total leech - and she put up with that? She comes off as really desperate and clingy, and I imagine that would get tiring.

    I've seen this before, the whole "I'm a virgin so I have to ensure everyone knows it by choosing a whiter-than-white wedding gown" thing. It's been brought up as a criteria for choosing a gown on Say Yes to the Dress multiple times. And it's weird.

    Bridal salons don't separate their stock by color; Pure White: Virgins Only. Off-white: Slutty Girls. /s

    Nor do the consultants typically quiz their customers on their sexual status: "Oh, so you're a virgin? You may only select from our pure-white gowns." Or, "You've had pre-marital sex? Tsk tsk! Only off-white for you. Store policy!"

    So, the only way for Iris (or any other bride) to ensure her fiancé (and everyone else present) knows she's a virgin is to announce that fact, or maybe by wearing a "VIRGIN" sash over her gown.  

    And if she has to do that, the color of her dress doesn't matter.

    What really surprised me was the dress she chose because it was "virginal white" was also strapless and plunging in the cleavage area. I would have thought a virgin would have gone with something a little less revealing... I actually liked Amber's dress the best. Elizabeth's was tragically ill-fitting. But Mr Picky seems to like boobs, so that might work in her favour since they were almost popping out of the dress.

    I, too, watch all of the Housewives shows that are available to me, including sitting through a season of Auckland that only aired in the US years after production, and was less interesting than watching paint dry.  (What I won't do is pay extra for episodes.  I have never seen RHVancouver for that reason).

    I no longer have the:

    ERMAGOD!  IT'S TUESDAY! feeling anymore.

    This season, I joined a belly dancing class.  On Tuesday nights.

    I have watched lately, but not glued to it.  Laundry is getting folded, items dusted, general house cleaning. 

    When the in-laws call during the show, I'm actually fully listening to them now....and I'm not trying to figure out a way to get off the phone.

    The other howives proved to me this season that they are incredibly boring. 

    They talked about LVP constantly. Behind her back.  Which is a HUGE thing according to them.

    And they had nothing  that I related to.

    Ericka still has a giant stick up her pantyless ass.

    Rinna manipulates everyone into fighting at meals to hide that she doesn't actually eat.  And then wants me to feel sorry for how she fucked up her kids.  Own it Rinna. You.  Dont.  Eat.

    Kyle.  Well I just don't find anxiety entertaining.   And her neediness in regards to women and friendships is too high maintenance for me.  And she keeps making TMCFR, "relevant" by putting her on tv.

    Denise is "fuck", giant dicks and all about keeping her head in the sand unless it's about Kim and Rinna.  Oh and being high.

    Teddi.  She knows everything.  Except to stay out of other people's arguments. And accountability is just a word to her.  Unless she's holding other people accountable for the choices she makes. Then she's a poor little victim of manipulation.

    Dorit should spend the rest of her life being chased.  But I have to give her props into manipulating the group into thinking that she is somehow a victim. 

    Really it's going to depend on who stays, who go's and who is new.

    But I don't think I will have the giddy joy I used to have on Tuesdays.

    Omigod, I am so bored.  This show used to be trashy fun; now it's just a dreary slog through endless inter-bachelor conflicts and he-said/he said drama.  (I felt the same way last season with the Hannah/Caelynn feud, and with Colton's virginity dominating as the central theme of the series).  And then there are the group dates which frequently involve men beating the crap out of each other.  Where are the fun dates?  Where's the joy?  Where's the alleged romance?

    OK, I feel better now.     

    I think that Hannah is far too immature for this, as are many of the guys and it feels like watching a prom queen and a bunch of frat boys  - with a couple of exceptions. No doubt the producers are forcing this Luke shit and it is not the least bit entertaining.

    I think the intervention helped. Sometimes people need a time out and it sounded like she needed help gathering her wits about her. It's the need to foist on her the requirement to make being 100% sober her new lifestyle that's the step in the wrong direction. She needs to heal whatever is at the root of her problems but with everyone telling her its alcohol she's always going to be wasting her energy fighting the wrong foe. I'm not surprised she's resistant to the idea but of course she has to make the attempt to convince the public that she's taking her sobriety "seriously" cause she's been deemed an alcoholic. The go to diagnosis. So bored with the laziness and simplistic take on life struggles. It's always gotta be alcohol or substance abuse. There's so much more out there that contributes to the decline of someone's stability. Like life.

    She said herself that one drink is too many and 100 (or whatever) is not enough. Social drinkers don't say things like that. And she can't deal with her underlying issues if she is still self medicating. All I am going to say on the subject, and agree to disagree.

    I agree, I think she is really pissed off that she can't drink. Which is why she needs to attend as many meetings as she can or her new sobriety won't work. She also needs to have some friends that don't drink but we also know that isn't going to happen. 

    No amount of meetings is going to help her stay sober if she doesn't have a desire to stop drinking. She has not hit bottom yet, and the "intervention" was a waste of time.

    I am disappointed in Lu always talking about AA on the show. If she really knew anything about AA at all, she would know we have a tradition to maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films. (This includes tv) When a celebrity talks about going to AA and then goes back out drinking, it looks bad and discourages others from trying AA and that could possibly cost them their lives.

    And another clear indication (aside from her general behavior and seeming lack of sponsor) that she is not practicing the steps or traditions of the program of recovery. She is going only because it is mandated, and probably to pick up men.

    Me too.  You know what I just remembered last night when I was watching the dysfunctional Rinna family dynamic?  That, in season five, when they were talking about sobriety, LisaR revealed that Harry "got sober" a few years ago.  And at the time, I thought it was for health, but I remember being like, "did the dude have a drinking problem or...?"  But I wrote it off.

    Now I know that LisaR will minimize or maximize a problem to whatever level it suits her convenience, I am convinced Harry got drunk and either killed someone, or dropped a dog off at an Orange County shelter (too soon?).

    But, in all honesty, that comment about Harry "getting sober" is nagging me now that I see how dark this family has the potential to be, and how much they sweep under the carpet.

    I recall when Lisa revealed that Harry was sober and IIRC she said there was alcoholism in his family - I think his brother died from it. So I'd guess he either had a problem himself or was taking preventative measures. Either way, a smart move.

    I seriously doubt I will watch next season if LVP is gone. I think a large part of the problem this season is there's too little Beverly Hills in the RHOBH now. Denise and Erika a basically trailer trash, Rinna never really had any class and is an envious shit stirrer, Teddi is  trying to fake it till she makes it, but she's just a basic bitch who talks too fucking much about shit that doesn't involve her. Kyle brings the wealth but she is a bad friend and though desperate to be the franchise's star, she's just not that interesting. I could live with Dorit, but I hate her because her stupid actions are the root of the franchise's demise. 

    This group is not interesting enough to carry the show on their own, which is why the conversation has devolved to 

    I really do wonder what made them include Denise. She is so low budget and is friends with Brandi? Eww. And does her husband have, like, a job?

    I also wonder about that Hamlin marriage. I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves after the girls finally leave the nest. Does Lisa behave very differently at home, I often wonder, because I can't imagine he would tolerate the toxicity she spews into the group. And, like others here have noted, I think he's not "camping" alone.

    This season was just horrible.

    Amen. But I find Dorit just as awful as the rest.

    Most people can contain multitudes - sweet in one moment, aggressive the next. I'm not sure why Denise being semi-confrontational (not even that aggressive in my eyes) shows her "true self" over her moments of sweetness.  I mean, I suppose if a person is looking for a reason to dislike Denise, they could see one moment as her "true self," but generally, I don't think one moment - or one emotion - represents any individual's "true self." Most people's "true self" are all of those attitudes. 

    Also these women with the exception of Dorit  and maybe LVP are all actors or performers. I am sure they can turn it on or off any time they want.  Hard to know exactly what is authentic.
