S12.E03: Don't Mansion It

[OnceSane]

Quote

The girls weekend in the Hamptons continues; Ramona brings the ladies to a local winery where they learn about Leah's past and Dorinda's present; Ramona's hosting continues at a mansion party that evening with a group of new friends.

Airs April 16, 2020.

Beautiful grapes and wine trees.

Don’t ever change Ramona.

[Mindthinkr]

How does Ramona get close to someone? By gathering blackmail material for future digs and disses. 
 

Boo on the Countess. It wasn’t so much about her going to a winery; I think it was more that she felt slighted by having a cold room with spiders and nobody seemed to care. 

[Straycat80]

Let’s share our feelings about our painful memories  so everyone can use it as ammunition against you in future fights. 

[Neurochick]

Why would Ramona think that inviting Luann to a winery would be a good idea?

 

Shady of Ramona to put Luann in the basement in a cold room with spiders and a TV that doesn't work.

[bosawks]

A halfway house run by nuns!

Way to make jail seem not so bad......

[Bronzedog]

I will love "Good night from the lower level" for the rest of my life.

You're giving Ramona too much credit if you think she gave a thought to anyone else's comfort level. Going to a winery is what Ramona wanted to do. That's as far as the thought process went.

When I stay with my parents, I stay in the room that's in their basement.  I look forward to using this line next time I'm there.

[Neurochick]

Does anybody know what's wrong with Sonja's face?

 

Leah, nunnery?  Don't you mean a convent?

 

Speaking of convent, Dorinda, please get off the cross, you might need the wood for your house.

I wonder how much time Sonja talked vs the edited version lol. 

[bosawks]

Soooo, Dorinda is a rageaholic because of “homes”?

[Neurochick]

Hi Sonja:

[Straycat80]

WTF is Sonja talking about? I think this will be drunk Sonja season again. 

[LibertarianSlut]

I disagree with Leah’s assessment that it’s normal to expect Luann to lie about going to a winery because Luann is “struggling with sobriety.”  People who are “struggling with sobriety” are supposed to tell the truth.  What would have been wrong with Luann texting that a winery wasn’t her scene?  Luann will never “get” sobriety.  It’s time to end the charade.  Her relationship with the truth is rather tarnished as well. 

Tinsley finally opens up, and Leah interrupts a million times to tell Tinsley’s story?  Ugh, Leah keeps reminding me of the obnoxious parts of Heather Thomson’s personality, with some Bethenny sprinkled in.  

Notice how Tinsley, Leah, and Dorinda had to give real info with tangible details in order to be considered “opened up”, and Ramona, who started the “game,” got to skate with some esoteric bullshit about her dead mother and music playing?  That’s some 12 seasons of reality TV right there.

Sonja is just a babbling mess, always has been.  Only now her feelings appear more bloated.

Lu has to be the houseguest from hell. Always bitching about her room. 

[bosawks]

Lu going to the chiropractor to deal with jealousy over Ramona’s Hamptons house is way more believable than the spider infestation necessitating a trip to the chiropractor version she’s selling.

The mugshot thing made me laugh out loud.

[Mindthinkr]

I loved the car full of them noting that they might need ID to get in and that they all have mug shots. Cut to their arrested faces. 

[Mr. Miner]

It seems like every time they show Dorinda she’s either slurring, talking with a mouthful of food, raging or crying. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[AuntieDiane6]

The fancy designer house where Ramona is taking her friends?  It was the set for the mansion featured on the TV show REVENGE.

[Neurochick]

Sonja needs it.

 

And Sonja, you should talk about someone looking "rough around the edges."

[Mindthinkr]

I do like the girls trying to get Ramona to drop down a notch. Why are people so impressed by money? Oh, the dreams of what the money would buy them. 

[Steph J]

Really not getting the Eyes Wide Shut vibe Leah claims to get from the party, which looks like it was boring as hell.

[bosawks]

There are some big ass Kennedy Mr. Ed chiclet teeth at this party.

And I say this as someone who’s sporting some world class piano key teeth.

[Neurochick]

Can't wait for Dorina to start talking with a fake British accent.

[Keywestclubkid]

Dorinda he is selling the house that’s why he’s taking them everywhere with the cameras he wants to sell this house 

[absolutelyido]

Of all the drunks on this show, I hate drunk Sonja the most.

[Thumper]

Jumping in without reading previous comments.

Sonja is so jealous of Ramona.  Some friend.

I like Dorinda’s hair.

[TexasGal]

What a great ad for this mansion this episode has become.

[Straycat80]

Touring a house is an American thing. I did not know that.  Sonja is being really rude and obnoxious, but she is trashed already. Wasn’t she married to a multi-millionaire? She would have probably been to stuffy parties like this before.  

[FlyingEgret]

LOL - I thought Leah said she swallowed the gun (instead if gum) and it made total sense to me in the midst of that party...

I'm not entirely sure this is true.  I think that Sonja is embarrassed by the way that Ramona behaves when she's around people from a higher wealth/social bracket because Ramona tends to overcompensate in her efforts to make herself feel like she belongs there.

Thank you!  I couldn't figure out why it looked familiar

Leah revealed more truth about her bumpy childhood in 3 minutes than Bethenny did in 10 seasons. LOVE HER as a replacement.  She is the un Bethenny.

And I loved her hat last week. For the record. 

[Neurochick]

Here comes drunk Sonja the accessory.

[LibertarianSlut]

Tinsley, this is why you’re single—you won’t accept a man who is short or a man who doesn’t drink.  Ramona, take note.  These women are so goddamn picky, except a wandering prick doesn’t seem to bother them all that much.  I get the feeling they wouldn’t date outside their race or certain ethnicities.  It’s just a feeling I get.  I have no evidence.  

Sonja is getting on Ramona’s case for bragging about someone who has a yacht and fancy friends?  The irony is rich!  Anyone remember P.Diddy saying “baby girl is confused” when Andy asked him whether he’d partied with Sonja in St. Tropez?  At least Ramona has some scintilla of evidence that she knows these people.  

Tinsley looked 55 if she was a day at that party.  She could have been one of Ramona’s cocktail party friends with the tight face and the overdone dark eye makeup. 

Luann’s flowered housedress was awful.  Just totally missed the mark in a way I haven’t seen on anyone on this show in a long time.  It looks exactly like the dress in which she got arrested!

Tinsely exhibited the Tinsley that I hate when she freaked out about the way Ramona was acting and exclaiming that Ramona is pretending to be the person that Sonja, I guess, used to be.  She gets really mean about stupid, kind of snobby shit every so often.  Sure, they didn’t have gin and there weren’t a ton of people there.  So what?  When Ramona brings her friends to a $38 million mansion, why can’t they take it at face value and laugh and smile and maybe give an eye roll or two behind her back at worst?  Why get up in arms about it, as if anyone in the continental United States thinks Ramona is a part of high society and Tinsley has to set them straight?  Just let her have it.  

And the house is too “tacky” and “American” for Dorinda?  I am dead over this hypocritical bullshit.  

The only thing I agree with the women on is that Ramona should definitely try to date this man.  She probably fashions him too old, though, which is hilarious.  

[pieinmyeye]

Sonja is just gross.

She was a hostess and he was like 100..... OMG I love TINS ...

[bosawks]

Sonja’s Al Pacino moment was pretty funny.

”I’m a trophy wife!  You’re a trophy wife! We’re all a trophy wife!”

Ramona, you stupid bitch. There are women in Atlanta who have more class than you could ever dream of having. Now go put on a bra, nitwit.

Was that a dig at RHOA?

 

When Dorinda says you're drunk that's pretty damn bad.

Edited April 17, 2020 by Neurochick

[Mindthinkr]

We didn’t see much of Tins at the party and the others seemed well behaved (for them), but Sonja just hit the ceiling much too early in the day and was an embarrassment to all of them. Cringe. 

[Straycat80]

OMG , Ramona grabbing Sonja and pushing her out the door while Sonja was screaming about her vajay-jay was actually kind of funny and sad at the same time.

It's not that they are too picky, it's that they're picky about the wrong things.   They won't be picky about a man's personality as long as he is wealthy.

Luann just split, huh?

[bosawks]

I always wondered who left those really shitty, hyperbolic Yelp reviews.

Apparently it’s Lu.

 I lost it when Lu opened the door, only to have a gust of wind blow her back inside.

[Straycat80]

Holy moly next week! Naked Sonja, Sonja on the toilet and a vibrator in the chicken 😳

Sonja’s daughter must be so proud of her mother. Seriously tho, she has a serious drinking problem. 

[Chicklet]

Yea I've had family reunions like that party.

I think Dorinda needs to do something with her time. Just like John doesn't understand obligations with his business, payroll, employees, a place to live nope he doesn't have any responsbilities and as much as I don't like him, why is he sticking with this harridan who really despises him?

[chewycandy]

Sonja really wanted to catch some dick on the way down!

Yeah, none of these goofballs should be casting any stones.

My take on Luann is that she left Ramona's so that she could continue to get was drunk as she needed to be.  As a long-time sober person, the expression goes: "It's the first drink that gets you drunk." Meaning, once we have a taste, we oddly lose the ability to stop until we're out cold. It's also why I see really bad things in Leah's future - I was so bummed when she took that first teeny glass of wine.  Next week's previews confirmed my worst fears...I feel for her. And her daughter - having a sober mother who starts drinking is rough.
