This made me want to watch the new RHONY! 😏

No, it's Jessel and Erin.  Jessel is very popular outside this forum.  And Erin was involved in everyone's business.

Popular in what way?

Jessel made some funny comments, and created some drama, especially with Erin, and Jenna. 

[hoodooznoodooz]

I’m going to pretend that Andy asked Jenna to sit next to him, and she declined, because she realizes how self-conscious she is.

Jenna's reuion look.  IDK....jeans??  I just don't know.   Everyone's else looks will drop tomorrow

Jeans and looks like a top that's sheer under the jacket. I don't need Housewives to necessarily be glamour girls, but I don't dig her fashion tbh. She would have looked classier in a pantsuit. She is pretty though, very cute with those glasses. 

[Wicked]

I love the jeans, I think the gowns are way too over the top, I like that she's going in the opposite direction

YES!!

Jenna has already proved that she is a huge success. She doesn’t need to pile on the glam and labels to flex or impress.
 

Plus, she looks fantastic in that outfit.

Not like some other HWs (especially in other franchises) who wear labels with on your face logos.

Right?!? Dorit (and her husband) whom parties keep bringing lawsuits against for nonpayment and fraud?!? Dorit looks pathetic. I’m wondering when she’ll have the Louis Vuitton logo tattooed on her face. 

[Dirtybubble]

While I agree she shouldn't wear a gown or flashy labels the jeans are just too casual for where she's at.  Black slacks with a fancy belt and some killer shoes would have been nice.  🤷‍♀️

[Dirtybubble]

Everybody's look for the reunion.   Overall I say it's a win all around 👍

[Dirtybubble]

Ok upon further inspection I do not like Brynn's dress.  Black velvet with lace??  Ugh no!  Jessel's is ok but it's giving me a garbage bag vibe to it. 

Erin the Karen is cute, Sia is pretty, but Ubah is just stunning! 😍

Still a hard no for the Jenna's jeans 

[RealHousewife]

I haven’t watched the new girls because I’m still upset they totally canned the OGs, but beautiful cast.

[Salacious Kitty]

Where are Sai's hands? 😂

[ichbin]

Their reunion outfits look like six totally different people who have nothing in common...just like they come off in the episodes...nothing but a bunch of individual egos with no genuine care or concern for any of the others.  They all live in different areas. They don't seem to run in the same circles. They were obviously cast to fill demographic spots but without any real relationships we're left with lame manufactured drama like the phone and sunglass nonsense. 

As for the individual looks, Erin, Ubah and Jenna look good. Sai is okay until I look at those stupid sleeves. Jessel looks like she used a trash bag for some I Dream of Jeannie cosplay. Brynn looks like 12th grade Winter Formal sometime in the 1980's-1990's (and that heart shaped buckle is atrocious) 

[Kiss my mutt]

I think Jenna goes for the “anti-housewife” look which I appreciate but she has such a beautiful figure for gowns.

This could have been a moment for a pair of high waisted silky tuxedo pants and a shirt that was not such a risk for a wardrobe malfunction. I still love her as a HW no matter what version it is.

Did Brynn borrow her dress from Katheryn of Southern Charm, it gives me a I just took this off of an Antebellum mannequin/Guinne Sax circa 1975 vibe (which seems to be Katheryn's aesthetic). 

I think Ubah looks stunning, gorgeous dress plus she is eight feet tall, looks ten, personality six but the camera lovers her.

For Jessel who says she feels bad about her post baby body she decides to show off her midriff which no matter if you have abs once seated there will be spillage in the gap or slit.

The good thing about this group of somewhat understated dresses and such is that they are the least costume looking out of most of the HW's reunion looks.

 

[hoodooznoodooz]

Someone on Facebook: WWCL or reddit referred to Brynn’s reunion look as Ruth Bader Brynnsberg!

There's some piping hot tea regarding Sai.  Notice she rarely wants to talk about her husband.  Almost nothing on her IG.

Apparently Sai got pregnant when her husband was married to another woman.  To make matters worse, he was her boss at the time.  She was working at his bar.

So she basically married a wealthy, older man - that's how she can afford her lifestyle.  She's not as self-made as she pretends to be.

 

 

[njbchlover]

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I was browsing Talbots' 40% off sale today, and clicked on this denim shirt, and guess who's modeling??  I had to confirm that it is Ubah - apparently, she is one of their go to models.  I've never realized it until today!!  (Hopefully, the correct photo shows up!)  BTW - this is a great sale, if Talbot's is your style.

So much for bitching at others for NOT sharing enough of their lives!!!

Brynn's dress looks hideous. Sai's, so so. Jessel's would be ok except for the material. The rest of the outfits/dresses are fine.

I like Erin’s dress at lot, but she is going to be sitting on a couch for hours…

I don't doubt it, but women become widows every day all over the world. They can be younger, with young kids, poor, sick, in war zones, etc. and Dorinda has PTSD? She is still rich, privileged, and she even became famous with all the added benefits. 

My mother became a widow at 52, and you guessed it, she didn't act like Dorinda.

Have to put my two cents about Dorinda.  I think when Richard died Dorinda lost her status in society.  She entertained presidents and dignitaries at her home.  She hob/knobed with the rich and famous all over the world.  All thst crashed down around her the minute he died.  She was again just a New York woman and couldn’t take it.  Still can’t.  Also, she then usedJohn, then dumped him.   Richard was famous.  She’s looking for famous again.

From @tvdeets -

Ratings: #RHONY S14E13 — 0.12 demo (P18-49) / 416,000 viewers. *new series low in total viewers*
 

Hahahaha!  Yeah this show sucks.

I found where I posted about ratings (at the end of September). It was the New Casts; New Spinoffs thread. The 5th episode had 439.000 live views, and it was the lowest rated episode in the history of the show. I see that it got worse since.

[RealHousewife]

Hope this means they can give these girls the boot and get the REAL RHONY back.

LOVE her look.  She is dressing in her own style and for once, a housewife who doesn't look like she is going to a prom.

Hahaha!!! Yes, you are so right. So many of them look like they are going to their prom. Have you seen the Season One New York Reunion looks? Some of them looked like they were just going to lunch or looked upscale-running-errands. It was appropriate.

How Andy Cohen can say on WWHL that this show is "a big hit" and that people are raving about the new cast and keep a straight face is beyond me. I have a feeling at the reunion he will be slobbering all over them.

He’s trying to put it out into the universe hoping it will turn things around. Not happening. Let it go Andy. 
 

I can’t recall who, but he’s even had a few guests on that have underhandedly hinted to how bad this show is.

I don't doubt he will.

He has to say it's a big hit. What else can he say?

Jenna might not be joining the show for a second season. Andy Cohen said he hoped she would.

IF there's a second season, I doubt Jenna will be part of it. She got her brand out there, which was her primary goal in participating.

I googled and googled, too. It’s not available for streaming! Just the trailer on YouTube.

[Mindthinkr]

I also did a search for it and came up with nothing. You’d think with her new audience of RH viewers that this would be a good time to allow it to stream again.

There are quotes from Leah, Ebony, Bethenny, and Brandi, all about how production manipulates them, encourages binge drinking, racist behavior from Ramona, etc. it’s a really long article, but I see a lot of other sources are creating their own articles, quoting this one, so you can probably get the gist of it by reading others.

I don't find any of those mentioned to be reliable sources. Did anyone else comment?
