Here we go 

[Straycat80]

Martin sighting! Now he’s training Leah. I wonder if he misses Tinsley. 

[Mindthinkr]

Who dresses up that much (sequins) to record a song? Ah...the Countess. 

[Keywestclubkid]

Oh for the love of god not another song

From what I heard, I don't think what Luann was doing can be characterized as a "song" or as "singing."

[Keywestclubkid]

Lol let me take over my friends party with this new song .. Luanne girl 

[TexasGal]

Wait, is this renovation Dorinda’s NEW apartment?  Ok, I know I don’t get NY real estate AT ALL being spoiled in TX but that kitchen is tiny.  I could not work with that.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Dorinda thought 2020 was going to a good year for her. Guess her powers of prediction were off.

And yet it was better than anything on Beverly Hills last night.

That coin without a face certainly didn’t mean good news. Yikes!

These NY househo’s can be exasperating but I’d take them over the Bev. Hills harpies any day! 

[LibertarianSlut]

Dorinda has a dead arm now.  So this is officially a thing of the past?

Damn.  Her Christmas sweater is cute.  Luke doesn’t want Dorinda to sit too near the window.  If anyone knows him from Ladies of London, is it too tacky to ask if this revives memories of Scot?

All of Luann’s songs sound the same.  The only one I like, ok love, is Chic C’est La Vie.  The others, I could take or leave.  Vivaa La Divaaah with no auto tune makes me nauseous.

In fairness, who among us could have predicted [points to... everything].

The only thing keeping me from wishing a swift end to the year is the thought that 2021 might somehow turn out worse.

Sonja is installing white carpet on her stairs...I give it 5 days until the first stain. I hope she gets those surgical booties for people to wear when the place is shown for sale.

I'll have to take your word for it. I gave up BH last year for the sake of my sanity.

[Keywestclubkid]

Sonja girl you can’t afford the town house just be honest about that. It’s not cause your daughter is in college.. stop it

No it’s her old apartment.  Apparently the one she moved into was offered to her for free or a discounted rent in an effort to advertise the building via the RHNYC.

LuAnn doesn’t sing she just talks her way through the song.  It was embarrassing.

Leahs daughters face as Leah drones on lol 

[pieinmyeye]

Funny you should say that, Leah’s mom.

[Bronzedog]

I wish they'd fire Luann so I'd never have to hear that caterwauling ever again.  Not only can she not sing, she can't sing worse than everyone else who can't sing.

Dorinda, sorry you thought you were going to have a good year.  Surprise!

OMG, Luann’s singing made my daughter come running from the other room...she looked at me and said “Mom, WTF is wrong with that woman? Does she think she is singing?? I hope she doesn’t have kids watching this, how embarrassingly cringey for her family!”  I don’t know how any of these ‘industry insiders’ keep a straight face when Lu gets in front of mic. That was horrifying.

[Steph J]

Why is it so bright in there?  It looks like Luann is performing in a high school gym.

Less than 5 days if Ramona is stopping by after a trip out of the country, or after eating a taco, or on her way to have sex...And Sonja is a slob where her dog’s poop Is concerned

[Mindthinkr]

I recognize one of the guys in the audience. He used to be on the soap ATWT...

[gatopretoNYC]

Ugh. I hate this bright light in the practice cabaret.*

*cabaret - drink!

I watched it for the first time this season. Those women make the NYH look positively genteel.

[Thumper]

More vagina talk from Leah??? Yawn.

[Straycat80]

Can Leah ever get thru an episode without talking about her vagina? 

[chewycandy]

“I thought it was a treat!” Hahaha

[Keywestclubkid]

Omg Leah to not care about Ramona you sure do talk about her A Lot when she isn’t around. Her name is always in your mouth 

[LibertarianSlut]

Dorinda, lol, you “washed away everything that was bothering” you?  Calgon, can you please take note and set the bitch free?

I’ve always had an irrational sort of contempt for Sonja’s townhouse.  The thing is about 40 years out of date and looks like it smells like juices stewed in Sonja.  As a potential buyer, I’d pass.

Leah, you’re a grown ass adult.  No one has to understand and support you.  No one has to do anything but die and pay taxes.  Where does she get this psychobabble bullshit from?  

Maybe I’m just in a nit picky mood toward Luann, but I despise this idea of “marry, F, kill” for so many reasons, not least of which is why do they say “F”?  Why don’t they just say “fuck”?  If you’re gong to be *edgy* enough to ask each other in a public forum who they want to fuck, have the balls enough to say the word.  Geez.

Luann’s comedy is quite possibly worse than her singing.  Sonja has a better stage presence.  So does the microphone.  

I’m so glad Sonja decided to take care of her health, and her talking heads show that she clearly executed her plan.  This is the first genuinely positive thing I’ve written about Sonja...ever?

[Thumper]

I think Leah is going to look just like her mom when she gets older.  Unless she does a bunch of stuff to her face.  I like that her mom is more natural.

I think it’s like that for filming’s sake. They’d have to bleep it. I bet for the paying audience at the actual show, they let the word fly. 

[Mr. Miner]

Cabaret and drag queens, two things I couldn’t care less about in the same episode. 🙄

[Mindthinkr]

Ramona looking in the mirror..she has no shortage of ego. 

[Thumper]

Lu’s hat is awful!

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Dorinda looks that the puppet Madame. I mean, I normally don't make such comments but still...

ETA: I can't stand the way that Sonja talks about LGBTQ people - like they are just pets or decorations for her. It is so disrespectful.

Yea some woman treat us like pets or accessories it gets kinda annoying. We are always supposed to be on and fabulous 

[pieinmyeye]

I hate Lu’s hat and Dorinda’s turban. I also wonder how long Dorinda is going to milk her surgery.

[Steph J]

Of course Ramona didn't know how to open the attachment. Last week she didn't even know how to hang up the phone.

[Emmeline]

I wonder if Ron has money?  If so, Sonja should date him.  

[Keywestclubkid]

No one should take credit for that tacky joke .. let it die 

.......talking shit about him wanting to bang 20yos .... like Leah who wants to bang anything with a dick that pays attention to her? Leah sit down 

Edited September 4, 2020 by Keywestclubkid

Ramona...exit stage left. 

[chewycandy]

I’m kinda digging Ramona right now lol

[Keywestclubkid]

A new hit? Did I miss something? 

[Straycat80]

Oh no Lu has a mike in her hand, I fear a song is coming on, mute your TV.

Preach.  I never got the appeal of a drag queen.  I’m not quite sure what’s so titillating about men dressed as women, especially in New York City.  What’s the big deal?  

I remember in season six, Carole confronted Sonja about talking behind her back at a gay bar, and Sonja was completely unruffled about it, did not deny it and said, “when I go to a gay bar, all bets are off.”  That was funny.  Let’s hear some shit talk.  They’re boring me.

I liked Sonja kissing that guy so casually on the lips though.  That was cute, not bawdy.  It reminded me of Lu constantly calling Sonja “Mae West” in season three.

Ramona looked great again.  Bitch knows how to rock a v-neck and short skirt.  So much more flattering on her short torso than anything else.  

“I don’t have time to open attachments.”  Ha ha ha.  Ramona is channeling Jill Zarin.  

Leah looked so classy and classic with her 1940s pin curls.  Looks can be deceiving.  

Once again, a woman on this franchise gets a mic in her hand and makes an ass out of herself.  Once again, Ramona is a hypocrite about sex talk.  The more things change...

I loved Luann’s self-important and flattering speech before singing Viva La Diva, as if this was an important song that needed two introductions.

[Shannah Banana]

I hope Lu's new song is better than her Happy Birthday rendition.  That was painful.

[CSunshine76]

I had to look up Desmond Child.  This man is a legitimate song writer and has had songs recorded by many real artists.  Why is he anywhere near LuAnn?
