They’re just scrambled eggs! My mom makes the same ones and she’s never been to France… Sonja kills me

Sorry Kristen, but "I'm the one who's still married" isn't exactly a flex when what you're married to is Josh Taekman, a gangrenous toe grown to human size.

I am struggling to not FF every scene, but especially bringing in ten men for perimenopausal and menopausal women to firt with. Ugh! 

I love the OG Housewives, but I'm over the hypersexual chat. (Although Luanne's approach doesn't make me cringe) But I don't want to see Sonja debasing herself while drunk. I always feel in protective mode about her.

I hate these types of HW parties. I also wouldn't enjoy watching a group of men in their 50s and 60s behave like this with young women (or men). It's such an unequal power dynamic.

I think  most of the HWs thought  the guys were too young,  or, as old as their  children . It's okay to flirt, I saw nothing  untoward.  Where they are staying, is beautiful,  but that white room of Dorinda's is driving  her mad, I'd of put up post it notes. 

Sometimes  Sonja  goes OTT, she very desperate  for male attention.

I wonder if being an attractive woman, you might become addicted to male attention?

I have decided that add "a la Francaise," to the end of everything I cook, and wear.  Loafers a la Francaise, Spicy Salmon Bowl a la Francaise,  Cereal a la Francaise, Cardigan a la Francaise.  Eggs a la Francaise is a bowl of wet scrambled eggs with cream, Lu, bless her heart will never give up on them and I will never give up on Lu.

I am loath to say this, since I really don’t like her and feel she is a problematic HW, but… *small voice* I’m enjoying Dorinda’s talking heads. Her impersonation of LuAnn as a spider was pretty funny and spot-on.

I respect your opinion and even concede that much of what Dorinda says is on point. But all of her THs to me come across as drafted in advance, rehearsed-rehearsed-rehearsed, and delivered with a soap commercial enthusiasm.

Somehow the white closet doors in Dorinda’s room resemble both breasts and vaginas. 
 

Sonja 100% is desperate for male attention. It’s very sad and makes me cringe. I think that she thinks it’s one of the only aspects of her life that she can still somewhat control. 
 

Flashing her privates at the camera crew with breakfast stains on her robe. Farting in front of the camera crew. If I were her daughter I would beg her to stop.

Did anyone else think that Peacock production wanted the viewers to understand that La Petite Plage and the Nao Beach male employees who joined the party were gigolos?

100% percent those men are on that island to wait tables and woo rich women for profit.

I only posted that because R & B put it out there!

The producers were less heavy-handed than usual with this! 
 

Good for Ramona.

Did she pay to service Sonja with the “Seal-doppelgänger”-who-thought-Lu-was-handsome?

I always enjoy your posts à la Française, Baltimore Betty.

I'm sure it's normal to want a degree of attention from the sex you're attracted to, but the lengths Sonja goes to get it are abnormal. She's a beautiful woman, but her antics will run off any quality man. It makes me especially sad because Sonja started out such a charmer imo and was at times even the voice of reason on RHONY.

Same.

I loved the synchronized taken aback glances of every woman at the table when Kristen said, FYI, he didn't actually cheat on me.

 

Oh Kristen. Where there's smoke, there is fire. It would have probably ended the conversation a lot sooner if she had just said, we've worked through it and I feel like we are in a better place now, but it's still really hard for me talk about.

 

That said, it was quite nasty of them to pull up the article and be like, 75 transactions, Kristen? Really? Sure, no one believes Josh didn't cheat, but you don't have to throw that in her face.

I like Kristen. Who knows what really happened 8 flipping years ago!? They seem to be very happy, so butt out ladies!! Lol. 

Also, I try to like Lu Ann but she's so damn annoying and hoity toity! Blech!

[Chatty Cake]

I just started watching this since it’s airing on Bravo.  It’s too bad Jill put up such a stink and wasn’t part of this cast. I know she was terrible on below deck but maybe with her old pals she’d be better.

I find Kristen annoying and like Dorinda said, her coquettish act is an act. Did her husband cheat on her? I thought it was a bit mean to bring up the Ashley Madison stuff. Also mean of Dorinda to tell Kristen she was fired while Dorinda was put on pause. And meaningless too since they scrapped the cast entirely. Although Dorinda had more seasons, she was so mean at times, especially to Tinsley. I thought her firing was deserved at the time.

Kelly seems a lot better this time.

The way Sonia and Luann act around men is embarrassing.

I feel as if they all are at that place where our age brings about a change in the amount of attention we receive as a result of our physical appearance, and they’re REALLY struggling with it.  They’re more insecure and catty as a result and the competition between them is over the top.   They’re maturing in reverse; they remind me of struggling junior high-aged girls fighting to find their identity.

Unlikeable women are now intolerable to me.  Their worst selves are on full display.  

Kelly is far more of an asshole than I gave her credit for before.  Now that I no longer pity her, I realize how wrong I was to do it before.  She is one jealous woman.  Gotta wonder if she’s just a narcissist at her core or if it’s a result of a whole lot of romantic heartbreak in her past.  I’m hoping it’s the last we see of her, either way.

I was going to write the exact same thing (as your first paragraph). 

I think these women (except Luann) are definitely struggling with the aging process and being seen as relevant. If they don't value themselves more than their outer appearance, they're in for a world of hurt.

I'm thinking especially of Sonya and Ramona.
