have one just like Leah’s - it vibrates- and I use it for headaches.  I use it to massage the temples and jaw muscles (the headaches are mostly due to my teeth-grinding while I sleep.)  But yeah the intended use is just dumb.

Maybe that will work for my migraines.

You seem to think that I am defending Sonja. I'm not. Sonja also acted like a drunken fool, and yes, she apparently got herself and others injured. Ramona would have been well within her rights to read her the riot act up and down. Apparently she doesn't want to do that.

What does that have to do with Leah grinding and acting in an explicit manner again? It's possible to not engage in "what aboutism" and think that they both acted badly. 

Expand  

I was actually just pointing out how ridiculous it is to chastise Leah for what she did. Ramona was just as “explicit” by talking about masturbating in her speech.

I get it - I have a sibling who makes Dorinda look like Mother Theresa.  I understand that they have to be around her for filming, but the best way to diffuse a toxic narcissist is to walk away when they try to pull you into a fight.  Sad thing is, the toxic person never realizes that they are to blame for driving everyone away.  They’ll just find their next victim, and the next, etc.

Expand  

I agree with you but I think that these women don't realize that Dorinda's problem is not that she's a drunk, it is that she's a narcissist. So I don't think that they realize that Dorinda will never change. To be fair, Tins was the only who probably recognized that reality, which is part of the reason she bounced.

Especially considering she has the ability to watch her bad behavior back on the screen.  I am anxious to see what happens with her on the reunion.  
 

 

[MBJ]

Leah's face as she realizes the person on her "side" of the argument is a fucked up drunk psychotic (Dorinda).

Luann has the patience of many saints.  Dorinda is allowed to be an asshole to EVERYONE and she's just shocked because Ramona attempts to set limits on it.

I disagree but regardless... it was Ramona's party. Ramona asked Leah to not act like a fool and Leah did. I mean, more power to you if you find Leah's behavior okay but I'm going to guess most polite society would recognize that hiking up one's skirt and grinding on other party guests is chastise-worthy behavior.  But hey, if you don't find Leah's behavior all that bad, then you must have been perfectly fine with Sonja's right?

ETA: Ramona can be obnoxious and quick to anger and a snob. So it's not like I don't find reasons to be critical of her. But not for rightly calling Leah out on her behavior at the party.

I agree with all of you who say Dorinda is vile, she’s a drunk, she needs to go to AA.  Showing how many times she’s drunk on the show would be cruel and will not do a thing to stop her drinking.. more likely it’d make it worse. I truly feel sorry for her.  seeIng her slide down to alkytown is not pretty.  Until she asks for help or is forced to get help she won’t give up her drink.

[faraway]

It's hard to believe that Dorinda is doing this party for Sonja- and not for her own image.

[Bronzedog]

Luann was charged with what?  3 or 4 felonies and spent 1 night in jail has the balls to say, "I've suffered enough."  Um.  What???

How is Ramona the sensible one now?  Are we in the Twilight Zone??

I could never ride a camel.  I would just want to feed them and pet them and maybe walk with them like a giant dog.

[Straycat80]

I love the looks on the faces of the people in the restaurant watching this birthday debacle. 
I’d like to know what they were making with the fire in the background. Bet it was good, I love Mexican food.

Leah you are being antagonistic with all of this .. you poke you poke then you act surprised when she gets annoyed then You become the victim... 

Edited August 7, 2020 by Keywestclubkid

[Emmeline]

At her party with 60 or 70 people!  Oh dear lord, I never want to hear “50 of my closest girlfriends” again.  The last few episodes Ramona has mentioned how religious she is.  Haven’t heard that since she was married to Mario and he sold religious products.  I wonder if he still has that business.

[CSunshine76]

Omg, so these ladies basically just commandeered the entire restaurant? I hope to hell Bravo paid for everyone else’s meals since they were interrupted with that nonsense!

[chewycandy]

Oh god, Ramona is consciously toying with this mother-daughter dynamic, isn’t she. 

[LibertarianSlut]

I remember Sonja refused to ride the camel in Morocco also.  No one should do something that makes them totally uncomfortable, but I don’t really admire that lack of adventurism.  Luann and Dorinda looked very cool for riding and having an experience.  To each his own, but as a former horseback riding instructor, that was really dangerous and impulsive of Leah to just jumpt off the camel.  She didn’t even say anything to the staff, she just walked away yelling and cursing.  It was a little disrespectful, and it seemed abnormal to me.  

Leah and Luann are roughly 15 years apart, both have fantastic bodies (I’d argue Luann’s body is marginally better, because she has a better bust, but that’s neither here nor there).  Yet Luann looked so fantastic and amazing in her black bikini, and Leah just looked desperate in a flesh colored bikini with the tiniest thong bottom I’ve ever seen with a giant tattoo on her ass.  Just how much attention does she need?  That wasn’t a flattering look.  

Dorinda, don’t look now, but when you find yourself issuing proclamations that no one may talk about your drinking, you might have an issue.  

Apparently the facialist knew what time it was when she told Sonja and Kristen that Luann liked to dominate short men.  

“Criminals have dicks just like anybody else”.  Oh my God, just when I’m ready to write Sonja off, she gets in a god zinger.  It wouldn’t have been funny coming from Leah though, because all she talks about are dicks, and when it’s expected, it loses charm.  

Luann and Dorinda did a good job of celebrating Sonja’s birthday, aww.  They really went there with the outfits.  At least they’re able to poke fun at themselves.  It really changes the tenor of what would have otherwise been a toxic episode.  

For some reason, I didn’t have a problem with Leah saying Ramona’s pussy is tight.  It’s not like she said it was loose.  I would take it as a compliment, but not everyone’s like me.  Ramona can miss me with the Catholic shit though.  Ramona calls sex “fucking” on air (she said last season that Bethenny was “fucking” someone), so I really don’t see a difference.  Ramona breaks just about every rule of Catholicism.  She’s not helping herself by bringing that up.  

It all kind of reversed itself and got funny again when Leah said “spicy dick” and everyone just sort of laughed it off.  Fun episode.

Okay, last comment on this since it wasn’t part of tonight’s episode...
I found what Sonja did irresponsible, sure, because she could have hurt someone. Is that who you mean? Because in what way was grinding on Luann for a few minutes with Dorinda and Elyse joining in “irresponsible”? 

[Marcya23]

Ramona walking the beach with her giant hat draped over her belly... 

 

but I guess walking next to Lu, I’d be hiding my belly, too 

[Callaphera]

I couldn't help but notice that every time Ramona takes offense to Leah's behaviour or language, it seems to happen (or mostly happen, I'm not going back through every episode for receipts) when they're in a public venue where other people are around. When they're alone, like in the cabana on the beach or sitting around the table, Ramona seems to let it slide more - when there isn't booze and an argument involved, of course. I give Ramona a pass for her birthday party - it was Slurinda that brought up the dildo and Ramona played off the comment in the same way she tried to play off Sonja's "You're a size bigger than me" comment. 

Leah, you're not as cute or as precious as you think.

Hi!  I grind my teeth so much that my dentist thought I was a lawyer :). He says only lawyers only grind their teeth as much as I do!  LOL puhhhleeze!  He doesn't realize that we're ALL under stress!

You should get a customized mouthguard like I did!  The dentist makes a mold of your teeth and you wear a mouthguard when you sleep.  All your problems will go away.

However, I am in Canada, so I get pretty good coverage, and I'm not sure about your situation, but I thought I should suggest it!  And if you don't want to go that route you can pick up a moldable one at a drug store!

Leah, pick up the warning signs. As a narcissist, she's going to buddy up to you and be your best friend right now but eventually she will turn on you and use whatever weaknesses you have against you. 

She's such a narcissist, she can't even hear a person explain what a third person's criticism of her without attacking the messenger. What a vile, loathsome human being she is. 

Expand  

It's the classic drunk enabling another drunk.  Leah herself has yet to admit that she is way out of control when drunk.  She can't even understand why her mother won't talk to her.  But trust me, Dorinda will have no problem railing against Leah - she did that with the Tramp Stamp.

he “drunken idiot” could have injured someone, but a little sexy dancing is the major offense here, it seems.

For me, sexy dancing is what I saw in the movie Dirty Dancing, not watching Leah grind herself on top of LuAnn.  Some may find that sexy, but it does nothing for me, and it was inappropriate at Ramona's birthday party.  As usual, YMMV.

I'm with the Noodle on this one.  I don't want to be out with friends and have someone start talking loudly about their vagina/pussy.  It's not necessary.  Leah keeps going on and on about hers and everybody else's,  and I'm tired of hearing about it too.

It wasn't that different from the Bridie situation the season before although that still takes the cake because they were interrupting a victim of sexual abuse speaking about her work with a charity. But yeah, it's becoming a trend for Dorinda and hey, what a surprise, she's usually drinking or drunk when she does it.

All this time I thought that my boss was just a doofus, but I am starting to see that he might just be a narcissist.  After seeing how Dorinda reacted after her and LuAnn's conversation, the light bulb went off in my head that my boss is just like that.   I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell of changing that kind of behavior.  😞 

I miss Tinsley.  She would've had fun on this trip (only if Dorinda wasn't being a bitch to her though).

The worst part about it is that Ramona probably paid thousands of dollars to get hers, and Dorinda probably paid $29.99 for the ones she wore when singing Happy Birthday to Sonja, and they are both equally horrendous!!  (Plus side to Dorinda's - she can take them off and store them somewhere when she's not using them!)  😂

I don’t love Leah but Ramona does seem to hold her to a different level of accountability than anyone else. The editors seem to agree by immediately showing the scene of Sonja talking about her fat pussy and Ramona doesn’t even bat an eye. This show is almost getting as unwatchable as Beverly Hills. The lone saving grace for tonight was Lu playing volleyball. I rewound and rewatched that moment several times. The ding of the bell really was the icing on the cake.

Sonja may have been taking the water pills to keep her weight down a bit, if she was retaining water.  No wonder she wears adult diapers on the jitney to the Hamptons!!  

I'm giving her the side-eye on the water pill causing "drunken sailor syndrome" (whatever the hell that is!).  I take a water pill daily and my doctor never advised me about this side effect.  I also drink an occasional cocktail or four, and never wind up in the same condition as Sonja has been on a regular basis this season.

 

 

[MBJ]

I kind of think there's a difference between talking about your pussy and "Turtle time".  In fact I can't even find the similarity.  What does Turtle time even mean?  I thought it just meant that Ramona is drinking and having fun?  Is there some hidden meaning about turtle pussy or something?
