[Back Atcha]

I remember when I watched and enjoyed dissing RHONY...years ago.  Before Dorinda...not interested in her spinoff.

[Marley]

Sai seems like the same bifch she was last year. Therapy doesn’t seem to be working.

I feel like Erin is saying all these things tho. Hope her mom gets better tho.

So did Pavit actually quit his main job to be a food influencer.

Brynn is still annoying with her constant sexual comments. Her dog is cute tho.

Not sure about any of these new ppl yet.

[Saph]

Erin is humorless & boring.  That is all. 

[Thumper]

Again with the “she said, you said, no I didn’t, yes you did” stuff.  🙄🥱

Not interested.  Show us your lives, have fun, do something other than arguing.

[Marley]

Yes I’m sick of this everything happening off camera bs.

[dancingdreamer]

I quite enjoyed  it. I may change  my mind in a couple  of weeks,  but I feel  they are just getting  started.  Omg Jenna, seriously,  that pink thing was horrible. I do love all her shoes though. Brynn looks  like she had cheek implants, and I hate those dresses where a thong  bra etc.  shows through. Ladies, NY, lots  of fashion  please. Sai and her Zen, imploded quickly. 

I hope Pavitt followed  his passion. 

[Chatty Cake]

I enjoyed it although I could live without the fights. 
I wasn’t a fan of Abe last year but I felt a little bad that Erin jumped on his case for mentioning mushrooms as a joke. She really is humorless. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

Show the Venmo of Jenna paying back Erin for the Uber. Done.

Did Erin and her husband let their kids race around willy nilly in Serendipity because their eldest, Levi, was with them?!?

[hoodooznoodooz]

Sai, Ubah, and Dorinda all seem to suddenly and violently snap, but their rage seems blinded and unwarranted. As if they could be reacting aggressively to something in their past that only peripherally resembles what they are experiencing in the moment. 

[snarts]

Brynn's schtick is getting old fast. The constant coquettishness is annoying enough but underneath it appears to be a deep insecurity that drives her need to be the center of attention at all times. She reminds me of Sonja Morgan, when people aren't paying attention to her, she'll do or say something outrageous including making up stories. 

Ubah's rage scares me. Sai pops off but she uses her words, Ubah seems violent.

Did Jessel get new teeth? Something looks different. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

The way Jessel speaks reminds me of Rosie Pope, Pregnant in Heels. All those weirdly-pronounced vowels.

[Keywestclubkid]

Erin .. girl just admit that you said something negative about her finance because she didn't immediately pay you back for a uber ride and move on .. we know you dont joke .. hell you showed us that when you leapt down your husbands throat when he attempted to "joke" with you ...

[janiema]

The camera work is really herky jerky. When two people are talking they switch from person to person depending upon who is speaking when they could show both without the constant movement. Hold the darn camera still. This is almost unwatchable.

It's not just Erin and Abe, that's commonplace in the restaurants I go to.  There was a report on my local news about a restaurant with a no-kids policy.  Sounds wonderful.

Same here.

I want to go to Carroll's Buns!

I get so close to enjoying Brynn and then she says something ridiculous.

The need for constant sexual validation is exhausting and as much as I think she would benefit from therapy I do not want to watch it.  I can take only one "hilling" journey per BRAVO airing cycle and Whitney was here first.

[WhyAmIHere]

RHONY and RHOSLC are the only Housewives shows I watch.   Before the reboot, RHONY was fun.  Those ladies could make me laugh out loud with their snarky commentary about each other and the ridiculous situations they get into.  Same with RHOSLC now, I genuinely get at least one good laugh every episode.  But with this iteration of RHONY, there is no fun and no joy.  

Rebecca Minkoff seemed to be wondering what the hell did I get myself into most of the episode.  

Brynn reminds me of Kaitlyn Bristowe, both in looks and personality. 

[Giddyup]

I like the reboot. I liked the OGs but their last season on was not entertaining. Their UGT was all about finding a man to hook up with.

Was Erin a renter last season? I thought she was in real estate. I’m not knocking renting, I was just surprised for some reason.

I like Sai when she’s not fighting. These fights seem so scripted and I feel like each season 2 of a franchise some of the friendships are fractured for no real reason.

Yes on the contrivance. Most of these women met each other for the first time filming season one. Some have now formed actual friendships.

While I agree that Erin can be humorless, I thought her call on Brynn's behavior was spot on. Brynn brings main character energy. Whenever she senses a friendship forming between two others, she tries to thwart it lest she somehow be left out. Erin & Jenna were hanging out, she tells Jenna that Erin called her poor. Sai & Jenna becoming closer, she reminds Jenna that Sai once said she hated her. 

I suspect the foreshadowed blowup with Ubah will involve her once again causing conflict by playing messenger. It's bad enough that she constantly feels the need to tattle on everyone but she also embellishes, making whatever was actually said sound way worse. Can you tell I find her exhausting?

[amarante]

Erin and her family were in Serendipity which is essentially a kids' place and so kids milling around wouldn't be uncommon and they had mentioned an older child was with them.

Jessel appears to have gotten overly white and large veneers during hiatus. I had most of y teeth done and deliberately chose teeth that looked like real teeth.

Brynn has crossed the line where the work she is getting is detrimental to her looks.

There was a Decorating Magazine in which her old apartment was shown and it was really lovely. As I recall, she couldn't film there which is not uncommon in multi-family apartments.

Her shtick is getting old very quickly. 

Erin is awful on so many levels and there does appear to be trouble in marital "paradise". 

 

[Pi237]

Love Brynn’s new dog, and her new apartment looks cute. Funny how all the furniture in that store was the same color scheme.  I liked it tho. I’m over Brynn doing her played out flirting “is this the marriage certificate?”  A little of that goes a long way, and she’s cute enough to pull it off, but turn it down once in a while. 

Pavit, “of course you dress up!” Walks out in a hoodie. 🧐

I see everyone, especially Erin, got the season 2 tune-up on their faces. Go easy, ladies…when in doubt, take a peek at Jersey. 
 

Still love Erin’s wardrobe and I covet her figure. I think she’s so pretty, but then she opens her mouth and all the sour comes out.  

[Pi237]

Ooh yes,  Buy the townhouse! I love a renovation.   Erin getting mad about the mushroom comment was bizarre.  Unless you’re an addict, why the offense? It’s not like he said, “yeah can’t wait to snort some blow off a hooker’s ass in there!” 
 

Raquel’s engagement ring looks like golden hemorrhoids.

 

. 

[StevieRocks]

Isn't this New York City? Then why am I watching a rube who thinks she's too good for the subway? Good grief these are some boring simpletons. 

[malibu]

Is it me or do Racquel and Sai have a similar look?  All these ladies had major glow ups, maybe a little too major (I'm looking at you Erin, Brynn and Jessel).  I always appreciated that the plastic surgery on the NY ladies was more subtle.  These chicks need to reel it in!!!

[Stats Queen]

Maybe because I’m exhausted from coming back from vacation and an  8 hour car trip took 10.5 hours, but I miss the old gang (sans Dorinda). Most of the women are super annoying.

so Sai tried to be Candiace with the “not today Satan” and Ubah is imitating her cousin Chanel Ayan with the, I’m so tall and beautiful routine.

The only one from last season that I think is authentic is Jenna.

[bosawks]

Did Abe cheat on Erin or is he broke?

Maybe both, it would explain that dynamic.

Although it is Erin so he probably just left the seat up….

There are not interesting enough (although they think they are fabulous- Erin told us last season, and Ubah, of course).

Erin is humorless, sour, and harsh. It's obvious she had marital issues this spring. Cheating is a possible cause. Although Abe is not attractive (at least I don't think so), women start DMing or hitting on guys that are on tv. 

Jenna is authentic because of her personality, and interesting maybe because she is older. 

Pavit pranked Jessel with the subway trip. He also asked her to dress up for the outing which was not in a fancy restaurant. I'm bored already with her defrosting her embryos storyline. It seems Pavit is only a food influencer now the way Jessel described it. Is this so profitable for someone who just started doing it? I'm sure the Bravo income helps. 

Bryn said already what we saw in the previews about Rebecca Minkoff- that you can find her designs in Nordstrom rack! Her dog is adorable.

Sai's therapy sessions didn't help too much. I think there was some jealously in not liking Jenna because Jenna is a real fashion influencer and she is one on IG with most probably bought followers too (almost everybody does it).

Erin was renting the New York apartment last season, but she owned a home at the Hamptons.

Oof. Sai’s molded bulletproof gold bustier and black poop emoji headpiece.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Pavit does look like Dory. Dory and Seinfeld.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Ubah is not as hot as she wants us to believe. 

She is very tall. If you’re very tall, are you automatically hot?

He’s attractive. She’s attractive. Really solid reason to procreate.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Elijah was very cute with his napkin hat. 
 

Levi is 8.5. I would not let an 8.5-year-old supervise his younger siblings at even a kid-centric food establishment.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Brynn has an elevator that opens directly into her apartment, but it’s so small, the moving guys have to carry her couch up the stairs. That’s frustrating.

[hoodooznoodooz]

Erin’s eye makeup at Fleur was gorgeous.

I want to know who is funding her lifestyle, she seems to have no visible means of support, I mean she is not exactly wandering around the Macy's furniture department, she went boutique furniture shopping.

Jenna posted on social media a silk tortorial, it was fabulous, she has done other fabrics too, it is way more entertaining than watching someone unpacking designer goods on camera...Jenna has a pedigree in the fashion world, Sai is a nobody to me and I don't care which pair of Prada shoes she gets to unbox.

The retro fitted elevators are smaller than a shower stall. 

They would have been installed by whoever flipped the property because otherwise a fifth floor walkup - or really any walkup would have to be sold for far less. 

The whole moving thing was staged because anyone buying furniture or other large items in New York needs to make specific arrangement with the delivery service unless it is delivery to a place with a large freight elevator or a single family home with normal stairs. 

Even then there could be issues as I live in a high rise with a large elevator and my neighbor bought a couch that couldn't fit through her front door. There are special services in New York City which divide a couch in half for delivery and then put it back together.

She talked about the different types of silk, silk organza, silk faile, silk moirés, all the silks. Very informative, I am a fabric snob.

About Brynn and her flirtation .... Question why was it ok when Sonja did/does it ... AND IS STILL her WHOLE personality, dick and being a Morgan and its cute and fun and shes just living her life and let her be shes just sex positive ... Brynn isnt even remotely as in your face about being pounded and shes being told shes to much? 

 

it just seems odd to me ... now i have Always had a issue with Sonja and just sex sex sex .. and yes i do find Brynn following the same footsteps annoying but you cant have it both ways with Sonja being quirky and let her be to Brynnn must be stopped

Good point. 
I personally object to both Brynn AND Sonja’s constant references to sex. It’s unoriginal, boring, crass and desperate. 
If anything, I find Sonja worse, because she has a daughter who has to deal with the fallout and judgment.

[Crazydoxielady]

Uggghhh Sai. I did not want her back. She is so annoying and thirsty. Her two talking head looks are absolutely atrocious. The big 60's hair one ages her tremendously, and the breast plate with odd turban thing on her head makes me so happy! That she let herself be styled that way and thought she looked good tells me everything I need to know about her. Good on her stylists for getting back at her, lol!
Love Jenna, but if Cass is not going to be on the show, do we need to see her mom? And why is that defunkt chair still in her closet? The vagina dress was absolutely awful, and the first thing she has worn that I hated.

New girl Racquel and her wife are hella sexy! Bring it on, I love to see it. Why can't we have two (Jenna and Racquel) late in life lesbians living their best life?

Brynn is just a bit too much, as per usual. Over sexual, but shes cute. I like her apartment, brother and new pup. I do think she means well and hope she tones it down.

Uba and her chipmunk cheeks is not half as cute as she thinks she is. She does not have the fame Chanel Ayan has, nor the personality. She didn't win the nobel prize because she has a dude now, calm down.

Erin is humorless and not fun to watch. Lets bring out the Abe the Babe scandal, we need something to do here! And don't let your kids run willy nilly thru restaurants! Sooooo entitiled. 

I still like Jessell and her weird hubby. She is pretentious but does have a sense of humor.

No opinion on Minkoff. I am not familiar with her fashions, but did appreciate both new women coming in and being quiet as the drama swilled around them. The off camera shenanagins and she said she said needs to be on camera or don't bring it up. I watch these shows for real estate porn, trips, fashion, and fun. Not for never ending feuds.

It’s Brynn’s baby voice that really bothers me.

I was also sick of Sonja’s constant flirting.

For me, it's the incessant giggling...

Sonja pulls it off more maybe because she's older and she and Luann are sort of "crazy broads"?  Or we kind of knew her a little bit before she ramped it up?   (in her first couple of seasons she was kind of eccentric but not really oversexed)

[JAYJAY1979]

Brynn was a pot stirrer last season.. people just choose to ignore that because Erin did it better.   And what I mean by better was that Erin was more intense and obvious as she stirred the pot and her reactions were OTT.  

Jenna is just so cringe and awkward... it's very uncomfortable watching her.

Ubah not being on so much was a good thing.  Wish they had downgraded her because she brings nothing, except being abusive, to the show.

Erin kept talking about sex last season, almost obsessively.  Usually that is a signal all is not so rosy in a relationship.  I felt sorry for Abe

[hoodooznoodooz]

So Jenna’s just not going to repair that chair, huh?

Jenna’s engaged, but she clearly thinks Racquel is dreamy. 
 

I liked Jenna remembering how much children love the subway. 
 

Jessel has a weird relationship with clothing and textures and color. And silhouettes.
 

Sai’s husband did not show up, and I am fine with that.

So Erin says that Brynn is having a party that starts at 4 pm. Ubah says that she will be late because she is meeting someone for dinner. What?

Cass looks like her mother’s younger sister.
