S12.E21: Viva la Dysfunction

[Thumper]

The backup music is good!  

[Straycat80]

Yeah Leah, Lu’s song gets stuck in your head like a migraine.

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

I’m afraid it was not.

She was lip syncing, right?  God that was awful.

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

She sees herself as the cool girl.  But it's more like desperation.  Not surprise she can't hold on to a guy - with her psycho personality.  She is so over rated and is a big reason why this season was so bad.

Remember she was the one who said it was ok for Dorinda to go off on others as long as she doesn’t go off on her.  That's what Leah gets for never having Tinsley's back and kissing up to Dorinda.

Tinsly almost ruined our show? Fuck you Dorinda you old sad piece of shit 

[Steph J]

Might as well end it on a high note, eh Dorinda?

I mean, Christ, did Tinsley run over Dorinda's dog or something?  This level of vitriol is just bizarre.

[Thumper]

“You’re spitting all over!  You’re spitting all over!”  😂😂😂

 

Aaaaaand there goes Dorinda.

OMG, Dorinda is truly disturbed.  Leah wasn't even "toasting" Tinsley, she just mentioned her name. Her issues with Tinsley are so disturbing. 

[TexasGal]

Lu’s un-auto tuned voice - bad.  Lu’s hat - bad.  Lu’s dress and legs -fabulous.

[chewycandy]

Ah, more Ramona dancing, please.

Sonja looks so pretty in all the pink in her confessionals. 

BYE, Dorinda. Go penguin walk out of there. 

[LibertarianSlut]

Shit.  I actually liked Viva La Diva in its uber produced version.  Very seventies cool.  I am so angry at myself for enjoying this.  

That was the most boring season finale since The Real Housewives of Miami season two.  The most positive part wound up being the song!

I was going to say at least no one was drunken and abusive...can’t win em all.  

I can’t wait for the reunion!!!  Go to church!  

[pieinmyeye]

Grow up, Dorinda! What did Tinsley ever do to you?

[CSunshine76]

Good God Dorinda. What was that?! Tinsley ruined  the show? Because she got engaged and moved and left these crazy old harpies? Jealous much?

[eleanorofaquitaine]

There are many things I don't particularly like about Lu but Disco Fabulous Lu is the woman she was always meant to be. So I am okay with it. 

[absolutelyido]

At 8:56 I was thinking that it was nice that at least no one went over the deep end and started an argument at Sonja's party...cue Dorinda.

I enjoyed her this season. Shook things up quite a bit and she seems like a nice person.

She was born apparently and that pisses Dorinda off lol 

[politichick]

Sonja knows how to give a great party! Her exchange with Leah, who I still don't like, about exercising showed why she's still good for the show. 

[BloggerAloud]

This really is the era of the fourth wall breaking when it comes to Housewives with Potomac, Beverly Hills and New York all having moments. That pull-back so you could see Dorinda fully freaking out over the mere mention of Tinsley's name in front of all those cameras is one of the more sad moments this show has produced. I did cackle when Luann accurately pointed out how well Dorinda's hand/arm was while in the midst of her diatribe. I wonder if Dorinda did not expect that segment to air because it was her talking about the show on air.

[Bronzedog]

Well, my goodness, Dorinda.  That was disturbing.

[Straycat80]

I’m so glad Dorinda isn’t coming back next season. Leah grew on me a little bit towards the end. After watching how horrible the BH ho’s are last night I feel the NY ho’s are really not that bad. I’m not watching OC anymore so all I’ve got left is NY. Unless Salt Lake is watchable. 
The reunion looks crazy, I hope Tinsley rips Dorinda a new one. 

[nexxie]

Who in the world first encouraged Lu to have a snging career?!

[Duke2801]

Dorinda was an ungracious asshole at Sonja’s party. Take your stupid turban and don’t let the door hit you on your flat ass on the way out. 

Me to Dorinda:

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

 

She should have left that "faceless coin" on the floor!!!  🤣

[Shannah Banana]

This was probably the worst finale I've seen in a long time, maybe ever.  I want my money back.

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. 

Not just for the home lookers, but for herself and her "friends"....plus, some doggy-sized ones for her dog, along with doggie diapers!  

[BloggerAloud]

The idea that anybody could have that much of an emotional response to the mere mention of Tinsley, who is basically sentient cotton candy, is so wild to me.

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

In defense of Ramona and her phone, I'm not too far behind her in age and it's just been the past few years that I got a Smartphone.  I was perfectly content with my old flip phone.  Once I did get a Smartphone -since there are no instructions - there are a lot of features that I had no clue were available so I didn't know what to Google in order to help me.  Fast forward a few years and I've got it figured out, but I can understand her overlooking the attachment in a text message.  However, she should know how to hang up the damn thing!

I think we should rename LuAnn's song to Viva Vagina in honor of Leah.  

[Hangin Out]

I hope Dorinda went straight to Bellevue.

And diapers for Ramona and Lu when they come over, they seem to shit all over everything when they go on vacation, why take chances. 

[goofygirl]

You know, I GET Dorinda's anger.  My husband of 29 years committed suicide 12 years ago. My lifestyle changed dramatically. I was so mad! For so long!  Well..  Until I realized that I was gonna end up under the river bridge in a van... AND I WENT TO COUNSELING.  FOR TWO YEARS.  Once a week for a year and a half, then once every two weeks.... And here I am. 12 years later.  I'd say that I'm about 90% there.

The thing about the MAD is it keeps you STUCK. IN THE MAD.  I think that's where Dorinda is.  STUCK IN THE MAD.  Only way she's gonna get anywhere is to get over being mad. This show hasn't helped her at all.  All the drinking in the WORLD won't do it.  What's gonna do it is her actually TRYING TO CHANGE AND GET ON WITH HER LIFE....

And I totally agree straycat80,  Sonja AND Ramona need some shit-worthy pull-ups.  Stop with the FACE and worry about the butt!

Right? You would think she murdered Richard and flooded bluestone manor personally with the way she flips out at the mere mention of the girls name 

Edited September 4, 2020 by Keywestclubkid

[Mindthinkr]

Dorinda yelling about Tins breaking her contract, has Dorinda’s breaking her contract by exposing the 4th wall. Her anger is out of control and toxic. I think most of the women are over her no matter how nice she makes it.

I'm wondering where the portal from Hell is that she crawled out of.  Wow!  Just Wow! 

[Kiki777]

So we have finally learned the truth: Dorinda has a massive hard-on for Tinsley.  She’s the playground bully who tortures the girl she’s secretly in love with. 🤨

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

I was trying to categorize it. Possibly a combination of spoken word and performance art? The performance at the party when she encouraged everyone to sing along reminded me of the old Kathy Griffin story about Whitney Houston trying to get a crowd to sing along to her new stuff, but nobody knew the words.

Dorinda's obsessive hate for Tinsley was a terrible, but apt end for this season. Full circle here. You're right, though. This is Dorinda's nemesis? She's choosing to make an ass of herself over someone with the personality of (expensive) room-temperature bottled water.

Edit: I might have been a little too harsh. Let's say sparkling water, then.

Well, my goodness, Dorinda.  That was disturbing.

Sonja was over there agreeing with her too.  C'mon, Sonja!  Wake up and see the crazy that is standing in front of you.  And FWIW, I didn't think it was a big deal that Ramona brought that guy to the party.  For someone who claims to be Ramona's best friend, she sure can be an ass to her.

I really liked it too....very upbeat and mindless - that's the kind of music we need at this point!!  

It reminded me of early studio-created disco music with a little 1970's bubble gum music blended in.

Just wanted to say I'm sorry about your husband, and I'm glad that you are working your way through your grief.  ❤️ 

Hopefully, Dorinda will get the help that she so desperately needs.  

[ancslove]

Well, now we know why 

Spoiler

Dorinda was fired.

That was scary in its speed and intensity.  

[mbaywife123]

Good grief Dorinda went totally off the rails  at Leah saying Tinsley name. What the hell was that ??? Creepy and scarey!

 

[Hangin Out]

Are these producers of the Cabaret kidding or what?  LuAnn cannot sing to save her life.  She talks thru a show.  She’s too full of herself, and that hat looked ridiculous.

Sonja looked like she gained twenty pounds in her gut.

Ramona’s skirt was a bit short.

Ive grown to like Leah the best when she’s not drinking.  She’s not a troublemaker.  
 

I can’t believe Bravo showed Dorinda having a meltdown about Tinsley no less.

Horrible closing to the show.

I think what we saw tonight was probably 90% of the reason that Dorinda was fired has decided to not renew her contract.  The other 10% is probably that the other women have refused to film with her anymore after that fiasco.  

Dorinda needs some serious help!

What an awful, awful season. And to think, NY used to be the crown jewel of the Real Housewives franchise.

I agree!!  I think that Sonja was jealous of the fact that Ramona brought a good-looking straight guy.  Did you notice how Sonja changed her tune once she was reminded that she and Ron "made out" at Beautique six years ago (that guy has some memory)??  

But, Ron falls into the Harry Dubin/Tom D'Agostino category - he seems like another sleazy, horny asshole.

[njbchlover]

I'm still not a big fan of Leah's, but I thought she looked absolutely gorgeous at Sonja's party.  The 1940's starlet look really works for her.

The video for Viva La Diva is even better. It rips off two different Madonna videos shamelessly, Lu looks like a million bucks, and you get to laugh over the fact that even with pitch correction software, Lu sounds like that.
