Avery to her mother at dinner: You don't talk to 50 women. Tell it, Avery!

I like Avery.  She does tend to keep it real with her Mom!  I think Ramona has a need for constant validation, so I can overlook her bragging about how many friends she has!

Dorinda is an angry, mean, volatile drunk. I Agree that whole scene was laughable. 

He is famous! He is the host and has been there for a million years. I think this is him: Frankie D? https://industrym.com/a-vision-in-the-woods/?city=staten island  This is NYC you know this old dude you get a primo table. 

EVERY TIME! lol! 

Also, Leah is disgusting. Yanking up your bandage dress and literally grinding on someone else just shits on the party. Idc if the whole thing is offensive to Leah she behaved atrociously on purpose. Grow the fuck up. 

I agree that Leah is disgusting. Both she and Sonja appear to need serious psychiatric help. This show would be a whole lot better without the two of them.

I wonder whether Sonja has a mortgage on her townhouse and whether she is underwater with the mortgage. Surely she could otherwise sell it and relieve herself of a big monthly burden even if she got a lower price.

YES!!!!!!  A birthday is only once a year.  I don't know why they have to shit on Ramona wanting the attention so much.

I agree; she never talks about her on the show.  Then again do any of them discuss their siblings?   If they have any?  They are all self involved.  LOL.  I know about Dorinda and Melinda.  

Damn!  I think in Canada we have weird alcohol laws and I don't think you can get vodka at a Costco!

Whaaaaat.  Costco has two types of vodka - equivalent to a handle sized bottle, but theirs are tall bottles.  the blue one is said to be absolute and is $12-13 USD and the Red bottom one....coming in at $19 USD is rumored to the the Goose.   They have Kirkland silver tequila too, and a bunch of other Kirkland branded liquors, vodka and tequila are my wheelhouse.

Dorinda screaming about Ramona "taking responsibility" for her behavior is rich. God, she is perhaps the most awful person on any of these shows and that is saying something. 

I was thinking the exact same thing.  I couldn't believe what she was saying about Ramona.  Does she even watch herself?

If Ramona really wanted an elegant and tasteful party, she wouldn’t have invited the Bravo cameras or her castmates.

And if those cameras weren’t on, would any of them hump each other - much less have a multiple-person, ass-shining, hump fest?

It’s all so contrived and distorted at this point - Bravo needs to go back to the drawing board before most of its audience is gone.

Also the mirror tray Sonja stomped on was already cracked, indicating a retake. I draw the line at broken glass 😬

  LuAnn was kinda cringey with the ex-con group, but not as bad as her S1 (?) meeting with underprivileged youths. 

And that scene of her taste-testing the soup that she was ladling at the soup kitchen.

I think Luann's grown so much.  She seemed to be really moved.  It was a really good scene.

That was really tacky of them to talk that way, especially since Leah is a friend of Tinsley's. I am sure that Leah would have jumped at the chance to date someone like Scott. That bartender she picked up at the Berkshires wasn't the best looking either so I don't know why she is throwing shade @ Scott.

Exactly........ if men treat my friends well, then that is what I'm interested in.  Why would I care if I think they're hot or not.  All that matters is if my friends are attracted to the men or women that they're with.  I can understand idle gossip - but saying that on camera like that?  That was bad.

Leah was on WWHL last night and said that Ramona will not find what she's looking for in a man in NYC because those type of men (the 1%) want 25 year olds. She said that those men even think she's too old! At 37!  I thought that was honest and funny. Leah is great in her interviews and TH's, it's the actual show that brings out her crazy. 

Sad, but, I believe her.  Ramona should go for younger men.  Who cares if they're as successful as she is or not?

ISN'T THAT DEVASTATING?  We cannot buy liquor at grocery stores, convenience stores.  Only designated liquor/beer/wine stores, which obviously have regulated hours and are more spread out.

Speaking purely for the province of Ontario.  Apparently in Alberta you can get the Costco vodka 😞

That ALMOST ALL of Moaner's 60 (!) friends wore black just kinda grossed me out.  WTF?? 

While I personally wouldn’t do it and think it’s a bit extra, if I‘m invited to a party with a dress code or theme I abide by it the best I can.  It’s their party, not mine.

Clearly these women all celebrate each other's birthday and chip in for a great gift and Ramona was getting her turn. She can't include Sonja in this party because Sonja doesn't contribute all year to the round of parties and the collection for a gift.    These are women who socially network and call each other friends but they are not friends in a close way and the other housewives point that out.    I'm sure that this group of 50-60 women also use each other for their charitable organization work, inviting each other to events creating the party scene they love. 

Co-sign on all of this.  I guess it just falls during the filming schedule but Ramona would do well to have this party when RH is not filming.  These parties have been going on since long before they were filmed, and judging by the fact that some of the ladies had their faces blurred I think they would be fine with it.  

We had something similar with my friends in my early 30’s, although there was like 10-12 of us.  We would all get together for birthdays and everyone would pitch in with a gift.  (We outgrew that and now just do two get together a year, summer and winter, at someone’s home.)  The HW friends aren’t a part of that.  Shit, I wouldn’t be surprised if none of those rude bitches even brought a gift.

Chiming in on the vodka. Plain old Absolut is great for a vodka soda when you're out. I have always liked Ciroc. If I'm hosting I buy Tito's because it's trendy and that's what people like to see.

I just bought a bottle of Tito's yesterday, I had a drink at a bar a while ago and it was really good, usually I am a Grey Goose or Belvedere, trendy or not it is good.

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane kept popping in my head when looking at Ramona.  The satin 1980’s secretary’s dress, the hair style that you see on 3rd grade schoolgirls.  The garish makeup again from the 80’s.  So many cheap looking women who paid thousands for their looks.

YbShe cheapens herself.  I'm not impressed.  

Sonja is so frickin' jealous of Ramona's other friends.  Like Leah, she's a hot mess.  Sonja acts like a 6 year old who is throwing a temper tantrum about her birthday.  Grow up, Sonja!  Ramona doesn't owe you a party every single year.

Isn't it pretty normal for a hostess to ask for a particular dress code and then she wears a brighter color in order to stand out?  I think Vicki from the OC has done that.  I didn't think a thing about it.  I wouldn't expect the guest of honor to wear the same color as everybody else.  

It’s not normal except maybe theme parties and obnoxious bride to be.  And she’s not the guest of honor. She threw a party for herself, no one did it in her honor.

We can’t buy booze in grocery stores in MN either.  Only liquor stores.   Our Costco and some Targets have a separate liquor store attached to the main store.  It was just last year that liquor stores were allowed to be open on Sundays.

I got an uncomfortable vibe during the scene with Leah and her sister at the spa.  It seemed like her sister was all too happy to be telling Leah that their mother didn't like her and derided her looks. Wonder if this is typical of their relationship.  I question the motivation. One thing for sure is that those two think they are the hottest things to hit Manhattan.  Comparing Tinsley and Scott to Beauty & the Beast, along with nasty snickering, wasn't a good look. Jealous much?  

This entire conversation was extremely unpleasant to watch.

Sonja stomping on that glass was stupid!  Apparently she's stoned or drunk, so she probably didn't know what the eff she was doing.  She's either going to seriously harm herself or someone around her.  I hope Production, or anybody stepped in and stopped her.  Please somebody, save her from herself!!

I've been on these boards since the TWoP days and I can honestly say that the bolded has garnered my biggest reaction.  I am an 80's secretary and while I didn't dress like that...I swear to God when I saw Ramona's dress, I said out loud "looks like a Janice dress"  Janice being the chick who dressed like that  Janice always wanted bigger and better, while me in my skirt, flats and cardigan, ended up working in the gov's office and she stayed right at the state agency where we started....think Lola with her faded feather.

Sonja came to that party with a huge chip on her shoulder. I don't know what's wrong with her but the past 2 seasons  have shown her to be unstable, drunk in most episodes and in need of serious help. When she first came on the show she was an elegant natural beauty. She has turned into a mean nasty vulgar dunk. Dorinda seems to be her main supporter now with Leah coming in second. Two drunks egging on another drunk.  I imagine that a huge part of Sonja's problem is that she knows that she has made a mess of her life. If she hadn't thrown away millions of $$S she could have had a nice life like Ramona. She sees Ramona having what she wants and can't have. She's holding on that crumbling townhouse because it is the last vestige of her life as a Morgan the same way she is holding on to her sexy all men want me persona. She is beyond sad this season.

I feel bad for the townhouse. It really is a beautiful home. It just needs someone to take proper care of it. Sonja keeps it like a dumpy college apartment.

It really could be so much better if she could just get it cleaned and fixed up. It never seemed like she wanted to put much money into making it better (I've been rewatching earlier seasons) and she has always seemed to be so cheap when she was having repairs made or even decorating it. It has always looked grungy and dark even back then, and well it doesn't seem to look much better now.

That's so mean that her mother said that stuff.

LOL @ Leah saying "I will get my pussy done if I want to."

They were both drunk at the spa, especially the sister. She was slurring her words. 

I like how they were showing a running count of Ramona's girlfriends at the party.

Leah is on WWHL and said broken glass got in Dorinda’s foot from Sonja breaking that tray and Sonja had to take Dorinda to the emergency room. Dayum! 

These are the things that can happen when people get wasted. I'm sure ER doctors have some vivid stories.

Ramona's fear that her HW friends would embarrass her became a reality.  In that regard, they'll never fail you, Ramona.  You can count on it.  I do not find humor in Leah's drunken behavior, nor Sonja's.  Two peas in a very sad pod.  They need help desperately. 

Agree. I think they were drunk, obnoxious and (deliberately) rude to Ramona.

The “ding” after every new friend killed me. 

I really don’t feel bad for Ramona. After calling Tinsley old looking and ignoring her at the dinner in Newport, seeking out Tom to party with, saying on camera Sonja couldn’t come to her last bday party, fawning over Elyse’s husband, and so on and so on, I just don’t think the other women dancing provocatively and enjoying themselves in Ramona’s “living room” is that huge of a deal in terms of disrespect. It was her sister Tanya who stirred things up and pointed it out. Ramona got angry and aggressive just like she did with Kristen...is there a pattern here with younger, more attractive blondes? 
 

I rewatched seasons 5 and 6 and Tanya appears then; when I saw her I thought Avery really resembled her.

I'm sure Avery has seen her mother act crazy lots of times, even off screen because you know she can't contain herself. She can't be shocked by Romona's bad behavior by this time.

Us- yea we are shocked every time she acts like an idiot because ....she's on tv and I for one can't understand these fools.
