S12.E24: Reunion Part 3

[ichbin]

How about next reunion they just tie Ramona to a stake and give each of her cast mates the torture weapon of their choice while Andy shouts out whose turn it is next to have at her.  I find Ramona outrageous but amusing and feel she has more than earned her place in this franchise, but I'm beginning to feel she should leave solely because she has been relegated to be the RHoNY punching bag. She has done nothing so heinous that she is deserving of the constant attacks.  Sonja has been a duplicitous cow throughout the season but doesn't get called on it.  Dorinda was asked some pointed questions but her feet weren't exactly held to the fire despite her horrendous behavior.  

One of the biggest bits of pettiness was Leah insisting that Ramona had fake designer bags and Sonja claiming she bought them in Chinatown.  

Reminds me, somewhere in my closet is a black quilted Chanel bag that I bought years ago in a back room operation when I was living in Asia. I  had to wait while they applied the metal logo.  Seriously back room where the door was hidden behind a wall of displayed goods in a shop and you had to be referred by someone to get in there because the country it was in frowned upon that sort of thing.  It looked pretty good, but I never used it.

Leah is basically enabling Dorinda because she's been "super cool" to her, and that's pretty gross. 

It just shows how easily manipulated Leah can be.  A sock puppet.  She's scared of Dorinda - who actually has not been that super cool to Leah.  She went in on her about the Tramp Stamp.  She cussed her out at the finale. 

Leah has got to be the Most Over Rated newcomer ever.  Of course she did hired a PR firm to plant fluff pieces on her - how she is a Fan Favorite.  Really? She hasn't help in the ratings.  A lot of viewers were turn off with her vulgar drunkenness.

[goofygirl]

Those BH Beyotches need to glam it up because they're so UGLY on the inside.

[Axie]

I think Leah is really going to miss Dorinda next season because her disgusting behavior will be on full display.  This year when she’d do something gross, Dorinda would do something more outrageous and the focus would shift to her.  Next year it won’t shift to Dorinda and Sonja is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

Dorinda saying being on the show helped her heal when her late husband, Richard, passed away, made me laugh. She has no interest in healing from that. That’s he get out of jail free card for being a bitch. Glad Bravo had enough of it with her. 
Bethenney can be amusing but she takes up every scene when she’s on with is  super impressed she is with herself and her “look at me, look what I can do” ego always on full blast. 
Wonder when she’s going to stop messing with her face. She looked really different in the five minutes of WWHL I could tolerate.

Also, I would say her screaming at Leah for daring to mention Tinsley was hitting below the belt to both Leah and Tinsley.

And, outing the fact that Leah and Tinsley weren't "actual" friends until Leah was signed on for the show (Even though most viewers are smart enough to realize that).  Dorinda didn't just break the fourth wall, she took a sledge hammer to it, decimated it and only left drywall dust.

I don't mean to sound heartless, but Richard died in 2011 and Dorinda didn't join the show until 2015.  I don't know how this show helped her heal four years later.  I understand that grief is a long process for some, but you would think that if she wasn't at least starting to heal from her grief at some point during those four years, she should have been in some type of therapy or grief counseling.  I don't get how being on a TV show with a bunch of crazy, screaming women would help her.  Everything you say here is spot on.  I despise people that use their grief as an excuse to be rude and nasty, especially years and years after their loved one's death.  

I actually mostly liked Dorinda up until this season - I really think that this show made her a worse person and highlighted all of her negative personality traits.

I hope she gets some real help and can heal properly.

 I wish they’d bring Bethenny back. She’s on WWHL now and she looks great. 

I think, being 10 feet away from the camera, with the best lighting, makeup, hair and plastic surgery, we’d all look great.  Candiace Dillard from RH of Potomac was on last week, and she looked like a freaking supermodel.  Completely unrecognizable.

I think Bethenny has aged horribly when she’s in any light that’s not her own, her voice sounds like a fog horn, and, for me, the cure to wondering whether this season would have been better if Bethenny had stayed on (which I’ve wondered much more than I’d like to admit) is for her to be on my screen for 30 blabbing seconds about useless shit.

Irony of ironies, Bethenny has become a caricature of Jill.  She is so manic and hyper and I think the only reason she’s sticking with Dorinda is because it makes her feel comfortable to have dominion over someone’s life, and that’s why she can’t seem to stay married (and why she’s been trying to get divorced for eight years—she can’t compromise).

My husband asked me, “what is wrong with her?” And I just said she needs medication for pressured speech.  Her podcast is going to be traumatic for those brave enough to listen.  Silence is no longer golden, it is now platinum.

I liked Sonja’s life is a circle. Lol 

I made my poor mom watch and she was nodding her head and repeated that like, see things will go up.  I started laughing hysterically and said, if you knew Sonja you’d be laughing at that too.  She’s crazy but she’s essentially harmless.  

[ivygirl]

When Andy picked up those texts and started reading them, two ideas came to mind. One, either he’d seen them before and his studying them was for show OR it really WAS his first time seeing them—but either way, whatever was there, he was taking it seriously (or else he would have gotten after Ramona AGAIN); and two, they helped him make a decision about Dorinda’s fate. It irks me that he uses Ramona as a whipping post, but I’m guessing he also realizes that for all her superficial sorrys, she’s not as heinous as many of the housewives (even across franchises), and she wouldn’t produce “receipts” if she wasn’t concerned and/or aware that Dorinda would completely deny whatever Ramona had to say.

I’d rather be one of Ramona’s fifty friends than even have ONE “cool” friend like Dorinda.

[Keywestclubkid]

Dorinda will use Richard as a crutch and excuse till the day she drops ... she will never take responsibility for her own actions.. it’s a convenient out for her... she would have been in therapy years and years ago if she was really that emotionally wrecked over his death and working through it.  not on a reality show lashing out at people and reveling in it. She likes the attention she gets from it the poor widow to much to actually want to get real help ... plus she can be nasty and say it’s not me it’s Richard 

Edited September 25, 2020 by Keywestclubkid

[65mickey]

Have any of Dorinda's friends from her pre- Housewives days ever commented on Dorinda?  Coming to her defense by saying that Richard's death so traumatized her that she changed from a happy well adjusted woman to someone with a lot of emotional problems. She never mentions anyone but the Clintons. And I doubt that they were personal friends. I would love to hear from people who knew her while she was married to Richard.  Seems like everyone tiptoes around her and covers up her drinking and anger issues. Even Bethenny walked back calling her a drunk. They are all guilty of enabling Dorinda. 

[SweetieDarling]

I wish Andy had pressed Dorinda more about her breakup with John, for no other reason than the inordinate amount of shiat she gave Tinsley for not being up front about her relationship with Scott. I wanted him to ask when they broke up -was it before the season began filming? and did it have any(every) thing to do with John "running game behind [Dorinda's] back?

I'm not an expert in the psychology of an abuser, but I watch a lot of ID Channel: Dorinda seems to have exhibited behaviors common to abusers.

Ramona said she had Dorinda over for drinks, Doris got nasty and said "some very hurtful things" ; the next day, Doris apologized, and had made her a playlist (mix-tape?). And after treating her horribly at the Halloween party, sent an apologetic text the next day to the effect of "I don't like fighting, let's move on".

Isn't that what abusers do? Show alleged remorse after the fact, and offer gifts or something to make amends for their behavior, which, by the way, wasn't their fault: it was because of something someone else said/did that MADE her. 

 

[EtheltoTillie]

I wonder when they filmed this. It can’t have been too long ago, but clearly right before the Century 21 bankruptcy was announced, thereby kiboshing another Sonja career. They were congratulating her on the clothing line last night.

Battered spouses get this a lot ... you don't have to be hit to be a battered spouse mental abuse is also a form of abuse  ......Yes they apologize and say they wont do it again and shower the person with love and affection ... then do it again and again and again .. once they know how to work you and you will accept it it just becomes a pattern .....

Ramona might be a superficial twit in many ways, but it sounds like she actually does the emotional labor to maintain friendships.

She brings you chicken soup when you are sick.  That alone is Gold in my book when you can’t even get out of bed.  She’s loud, in your face, talks stupid half the time, but is good hearted underneath.  ( most of the time).

Good point. I cannot stand Leah, she brings nothing to this show. I will miss Dorinda's house at least. I also found myself in thevodd position of feeling defensive of Ramona. Andy b is awful to her. Ramona is Ramona. She is often thoughtless, rude and a complete dingbat, but she is not, fundamentally, mean. Blunt, yes. But not mean. I think LeAnn came out the best this season.

I just wish they could hire women who have things actually going on in their lives. I mean a job, a hobby, real charity work, maybe even a freaking book club meeting. I guess it's really hard to get women in NY to show up and be rude, insulting, and drunk on tv?

The only somewhat negative things they could show were the "lower level" theatrics and when she was dismissive of Sonja.  The former was just vintage Countess, and I can't get too worked up over the latter because, from what I understand, Sonja doesn't have much participation in the cabaret show and it does seem like her brief appearance gives Sonja some off camera attention she would otherwise not have any opportunity to bring her own way.  Nothing too outrageous compared to past seasons (particularly Tom and wedding related).

Not to mention that Andy just seemed so over Dorinda last night.  It was so obvious how frustrated he was with her.

Correct, during B's fibroid odyssey, and Ramona did most of this off-camera. And lest we forget a decade ago, Ramona tried to help both Jill and Bethenny repair their friendship. Even when it didn't work, she took care of B and protected her on Scary Island and downright mothered her. All of this led to a fracture in her long-standing friendship with Jill. Remember when she politely but firmly kicked her out of St. John because she was concerned for B's health? Say what you want about the Brooklyn Bridge rant, that was Ramona's crazy way of trying to help Bethenny, and every single thing she said was correct.

Ramona is still friendly with Jill. She and Lu have had their ups and downs but they can coexist. Ramona's a handful but you know what you're signing up for. She's gregarious, loud, and seems pretty generous. She's honest and in the moment and though she can be destructive, she's never vicious. Dorinda is vicious. Bethenny has been vicious. Sonja is downright mean to Ramona. Some feel Jill was vicious to B ( I don't agree). Ramona never comes from a vicious place so I'm always happy to have Noodle Crazy Eyes on my screen. 

[65mickey]

Yes and we have no idea what went on behind the scenes with production. How many tantrums did she throw cursing and spitting in people's faces? The producers and camera people most likely gave Andy an ultimatum it's Dorinda or us.

Along with Dorinda production should get rid of Sonja and Leah. It will be impossible to get anyone good on the show if they have to put up with the vulgarity and crassness of Sonja or Leah. Or the nastiness of Dorinda or Bethenny’s “humor”.  Ramona and LuAnn are many things but they are not mean or excessively crass.

Oh...it's obvious that Leah is the new face of the franchise...Andy seems to be smitten with her. I think they will be building the franchise around her in the future. I don't have a problem with that...it might be refreshing to see younger women who actually have successful careers and families instead of the same old tired cast building their so called  "careers" around their exposure on this show. I have a ying yang thing with Leah...there are times I really enjoy her and other times when I find her a little obnoxious and vulgar. I do hope they revamp the show next season and we see the departure of Sonja, Ramona and LuAnn...it's enough with these women.

Right? Good grief...she has a horrible singing voice, if you even want to call it that! The thing with her is that she surrounds herself with sycophants and people groveling for a job that gives them access to people in LuAnn's world. They swoon over everything she says and does and give her a false sense of being an actual professional singer. Honestly, I think at this point LuAnn is looking to get some kind of a gig in a Broadway show when Broadway reopens.

I think the show kind of started out like this.  Back in the first season, many of the HW’s worked - Ramona, Bethany, the one that lived in Brooklyn (sorry name escapes me).  I think even Jill worked for her husband’s carpet shop?  But as with all these shows, the more time they’re on the less real they actually get.

Yes!  As I was reading your post, I was thinking the same exact thing!  Remember when Jill showed up on Scary Island and Beth was doing an impression of her with her really nasally annoying voice?  Now I find Beth 1000x more annoying than Jill ever was.  Even with how shitty this season was (literally and figuratively), I still don’t want Bethany back at all.

So agree...Dorinda continued to deflect and project. Her excuse for her bully behavior was that she was in "pain" the whole season. If you are having personal pain, then get help and work on it. Don't take your "pain" out on everyone else by belittling them, attacking them, bullying them and self medicating with alcohol. Put your big girl panties on and work on yourself and apologize to everyone personally for your loathsome behavior.

I think that in some way, Dorinda knew going into the reunion that she was in somewhat deep shit, I also think that by her saying that she should have taken the season off because she was fragile, it would get her off the hook. Andy was OVER her. Goodbye, Dorinda! (tm Ken Todd)

Dorinda’s anger at Tinsley was out of control, but I think we may have gotten a glimpse of why. I believe Dorinda when she talks about being overwhelmed and wishing she’d taken the season off. It made me wonder if Dorinda tried to get out of filming and they refused, whereas Tinsley was graciously released.  
 

Just a thought, but I got that strong impression.  She was miserable the whole season, and she’s obsessed with all of them having the same expectations.  Didn’t she yell something about Tinsley’s broken contract?
