What, you don't care that a woman you barely know has found a father you didn't know she didn't know and it turns out he's a guy nobody knows?

Those are the get-togethers that get left on the editing room floor. I will say this for the New York ladies: at least they have a series of different fights over the season rather than one drawn

Eboni, Sonja is not a delicate flower abused by the others. So tired of this poor Sonja routine. She went from zero to 1000 and did almost as much to destroy that dinner as Ramona did.

Eboni stating that she still has work to do…well I’m here for a show. Not lessons on history. It nice they all made up, but where is the fun stuff? I never thought this show would devolve into a platform show. I’m more interested in platform shoes.

If someone told me I was articulate, I would be SO flattered because I sometimes struggle to find my spoken words. But say it to a black woman and it’s automatically a microagression? Come ON. It’s a fucking compliment for a well expressed point. Not everyone can do that. Has nothing to do with skin color.

I want to focus on a great minor hilarious moment, which is LuAnn's poor child and whomever those other people were at the end of the table.  The (I assume queer) boy at the end of the table nodding and shaking his head and reacting, wanting desperately to be engaged, flanked by the daughter and girl across from her (another daughter?) who were stone-faced and wanting desperately to be anywhere else.  I really thought that a hilarious found moment.

Did Heather really just tell Eboni she’s very articulate? WTF!

Again. Why is she here?!

Good question. I wish she’d leave and take Leah with her.

Well, no.  There's a learned, researched history of referring to black people in such a manner.

I assumed Heather was using that word ironically as a joke. She couldn't possibly not know what "articulate" means as a compliment to a black person. I thought her delivery made that clear too.

I always try to be polite to whomever I am speaking to, but all these new rules about what can or cannot be said will have me just shutting my gob a lot. Be it when I’m speaking or here on these forums. It’s becoming quicksand.

I initially thought that, too, but she gave no indication that she was.  

I don't know - Heather trying to play the role of "Eboni whisperer" rubbed me the wrong way. Eboni was explaining herself quite well, she didn't need Heather trying to do it for her.

I don’t agree. I don’t think of people in that manner. I appreciate the ability of a person to express themselves with clear and impactful words no matter what they look like, because it’s something I struggle with myself. I guess now I know simply being appreciative of that can be considered racist if the person isn’t white. I find that to be pretty disconcerting.

Yep, has nothing to do with skin color. Neither does the flavor of pumpkin or the adjective angry. Leah is obnoxious and Eboni has profound anger issues along with being heavily prejudicial and maybe even racist. She's said at least two anti-white comments EVERY episode. Didn't think RHONY could ever be sunk, but here we are. I'll watch again if it's ever returned to the entertaining watch it was for so long.

Sorry, Leah, you can't bring up politics/voting apropos nothing and then get your back up when someone you're talking to has an opinion about what you've just expressed. If you don't want to risk being judged for your stance, you can always keep it to yourself.

So, here's the thing - you don't get to decide if it is considered a microaggression. The person who experiences it - like Eboni - does. Just because, for instance, Heather may not think that she's delivering a microaggression doesn't mean that Eboni doesn't have the right to experience it as a microaggression.

-shrug-  Feel free to not agree, but it's not someone's random editorial about one thing someone said to them once.  It's a historical and cultural collection of events.  Read and learn, or don't read and don't care.  Up to you.

Last season, it was the drinking that Leah blamed for her obnoxious behavior. This year, it's her grandma dying. I don't actually give a shit what is bothering her right now, she's ruining the show.

I don’t want to diminish Leah’s feelings, but it would seem she’s being a tad dramatic for the cameras.  I’ve lost people close to me. I sure as fuck was by their side and not hanging out with my friends.  And funny, when I cried during those times (and hell, still cry for my Mom 4 years later), actual tears come out of my eyes.

Welp, that’s it for me. I’m done. Not ten minutes in and I’m so disgusted. Lu did not call Eboni an angry black woman and Leah wasn’t there and she’s an idiot anyway. 
If everyone has to tippy toe around every comment to Eboni (and Garcelle on BH too). They make everything about race. This shouldn’t be a political platform. This should be entertainment. And it’s not. 
Thanks Bravo Andy for ruining my favorite franchise. 

The irony is that at the core of this is idiot Leah, who's toxic behavior Eboni was foolishly trying to defend.   If Eboni wants to call out people, she should start with vulgar Leah and her horrible behavior, hypocrisies, childish outbursts.

Leah McSweeney is terrible casting.  She is unwatchable.

Sonja said “I’m Sagittarius, I always catch a fish”. I share my birthday with her although she is one year older than me. I don’t have a good track record of catching a fist.

Although Sonja is only a year older than me, her face is much younger. However, some my joints are much younger and others have been fused together 😜

Leah doesn't want Heather to be in every conversation because Leah herself wants to the center of attention in every conversation. She doesn't want the competition.

Not just the center of attention, but also the "authority" on whatever is being talked about. 

Edited to add: Lol, how does this make Heather a "Karen," Leah?  You brought up the fact that you don't care to vote. You said it in Heather's presence. She's allowed to have an opinion about that.

After the ladies compete in Luann’s 70’s inspired Halloween pageant, Leah receives devastating news about her grandma. Back in the city, Ramona reviews her real estate skills, while Leah and Eboni help Sonja learn to land a punch. Eboni hosts an election party where talk of Ramona’s Instagram makes up for her absence.

Mod note:  The episode will include an election watching party.  Please stick to discussing what is said on the show.  We are not debating the election, politics, political parties or politicians.
