Ooh.

Ugly sparking tensions and chaos?

I'm in.

I am shocked, shocked to learn that Ramona gets caught up in other people's business!

[Neurochick]

Someone needs to say to Bethenny, "shut the fuck up and stop thinking that every person is your parents." No one wants to take her down.  On five years no one will know who the fuck Bethenny is.

Ramona, when you're over fifty there is no girl code, because you are no longer a girl.

Love when Luann said "look at Bethenny's face because we can see the plastic surgery disaster.

Bethenny someone needs to call you out on being the piece of shit, insane witch that you are.

[ZaldamoWilder]

We're only 9 minutes in and I'm dizzy with glee.    This is the reason I blow my pension on Optimum's gold package.

Lu's unflappability though?  Like. A. Bawse.   

[Neurochick]

I'd kick Bethenny the screaming shrew out of my house.  Bethenny is probably jealous because she couldn't get laid with $100 in her pocket.

Who cares if people bullshit each other.  Mind your fucking business you nasty shrew. Live and let live.

Carole doesn't deserve to have a cat.  Someone call the ASPCA!

I can't breathe!  LMAO!!!

Jules:  My dad's dying, I'm trying to reach him in the hospital

Lu:  I can't believe what she just said to me

bwaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Even when she told the rest of the HWs in the bedroom about her dad in the hospital, none of them, Not. One, responded to her about her dads health crisis. Not even good friend Dorinda!

She was holding her own for a hot minute, but it just fueled Bethenny even more! The Countess tried to go toe to toe but alas, she couldn't hang. 

 

Bethenny is a bitch, but damn, you go girl!!

[Neurochick]

Every bad thing is always because of Bethenny.  She's a nasty, classist, racist (I'm an honorary black woman) bitch.  There, I said that word.

And her Skinny Girl shit gives me gas, so maybe I should sue the "honorary black woman."

A sign you're losing an argument?  You call someone a slut.  Bethany lost her shit and  It wasn't pretty.

[ButterQueen]

Bethenny can't get a word in......puhleeze!!  She hasn't shut up since the episode started.  Why did she put her coat back on?

This.  It was over as soon as her octave changed.

[ButterQueen]

LuAnn lit up her ciggy on camera?  

Bethenny really was out of line.

Dorinda is a terrible hostess.

Bethenny should travel with her very own personal Exorcist. I swear that girl is possessed. I was just waiting for her head to spin around.

[ButterQueen]

How rude they all left LuAnn downstairs.

Ramona is two-faced.

OMG, Dorinda and the birthday cake??????  My God.

Edited June 2, 2016 by ButterQueen

[njbchlover]

I'm thinking that Bethenny is actually jealous of Luann, and the life Luann is living right now.  

Luann has it pretty good - she has some money in the bank, she's HAPPILY and AMICABLY divorced from her husband, her kids are doing well, and she's living a free and single life, dating, having sex when and with whom she pleases.  Plus, and this is a big one - Luann actually seems to be in a very happy place in her life right now - so far away from where Bethenny is.

[sasha206]

OMG, LuAnn is KILLING it tonight.  She's hilarious.

[b2H]

The only thing I really loved about the episode?

The candle display in the middle of the dining room table.  I need to find that one.

[FlyingEgret]

Dorinda's house is the worst place ever to try to talk about someone

It's like a Wilde play in there.

[Rosiejuliemom]

Why is Gumby is eavesdropping on Luann and Dorinda?

[Straycat80]

Poor Dorinda, she cooked, cleaned, made everything niiiiiice! Her Mom made a caaaaaaake! And all  these bitches do is fight! Loved. Every. Minute. And I am exhausted after watching this episode! 

I thought Bethenny went toe to toe equally with Lu. Did all they said need to be said? No. But this is a reality show and these women are serious about their airtime. So does everyone who dates an ex of Ramona's have to get permission from her first? She's so delusional. But it was funny how she was dictating to Lu the textes to send  to Carole and Bethenny who were right in the house. 

I felt bad for Jules. No one cared about her father in the hospital. There's a hint, these women are not your friends.

Who is Gumby?

Dorinda has a holiday party, and goes to watch L & O.  

She is just a shit show.

[annewithaneee]

Did anyone else see that in Lu's phone, Bethenny is spelled "Bethany"???? I'm hoping it wasn't a very specific sort of stroke I just had, and it really happened, because it was glorious.

[b2H]

Beginning to wonder if these relationships will survive the season.  Really getting brutal.

And Bethenny?  My opinion of you has changed from last week:. It has dropped lower than a frog's ass.  There is nothing, nothing attractive about your performance.  You even admitted to it, but like flies to dung, you are drawn to it and are prepared to go at it again.  If no one speaks to you by the end of the season, it will be entirely too good for you, in light of your behavior.

[islandgal140]

Well, on the plus side, I think this just unseated the RHOBH psychic dinner from hell. When watching Sonja get vaginal rejuvenation is less cringe-worthy segment of the show .... HOLY SHIT!!!!

Rabid, insane, animalistic, crazed, rude, nasty, mean, self-centered,adderall fueled, slut shaming,  RHOBH Erika Jayne expletive necklace BITCH!!! I am just running out of adjectives for Bethanny. I just, I just...

Bethenny literally came unhinged here. I can't call her the winner here because she completely lost her shit. Not only that I don't even know why the fuck she was gunning for bear as soon as she walked in. 

Bethenny wants to and continues to keep her messy ass personal life off screen but she wants to drag all this off screen shit about Luann on the show. STFU! I just don't see a reason to be that mad about someone's sex life, unless they are fucking or have fucked your man. 

Dorinda is a POS hostess. She doesn't say a word to Bethanny after that diatribe, in fact she leaves her guest who was outright insulted to go giggle with that gargoyle Bethanny, but can go hard about a cake that Luanne wasn't even talking shit about?!? STFU slurry drunkie! I know what that is about. Another quarter inch further up B's ass and I think it would be medically considered a colonoscopy. 

WTF is Jules even doing there if her father is dying? Priorities!!!

I really dislike Carol with a passion. Get a new line about Lu sounding like a man. She looked like 10 kinds of Seabiscuit walking into that house tonight.  

So 'girl code' did Ramona ask Sonja if she could date Tom? You know the Tom Sonja allegedly "dated" for 10 years? 

Luann shouldn't have texted either of those bitches. Fuck  them. 

Sonja is life in the preview!!!!

The green figure hanging out in Dorinda's window.

 

[Bronzedog]

I felt kind of bad that no one gave a shit about Jules father, but, this is another case with another HW of why aren't you with your father?

[Showthyme]

Carole just bugs. It's too bad that she is a friend of Andy's. Carole thinks that she is the voice of reason and is so deep. 

Bethenney needs to learn to tolerate bullshit. Everyone else on the planet has managed it. It is sometimes required to get along with someone. 

Please, no more dog shit scenes.

Well, just a short time before when she did it, Dorinda read Luann the riot act so maybe Bethenny is expecting Dorinda to come to her defense a second time. LOL Good grief, she rips Luann a new one and expects everyone else to come to her aid, not Luann. No one, not even the hostess Dorinda, is allowed to try and comfort or listen to Luanns feelings because well.....it's Bethenny and only she counts. LOL

[ButterQueen]

Ramona, I cannot take you seriously with the Farrah Fawcett hair.  And please pick a damn side.  You are all over the place being two-faced.

Ramona/Lu are copying Kyle/LisaV on RHOBH.....with the apology thing.

The title of this thread is amazing and I don't think I've enjoyed an episode of RHONYC more. To be continued? YES

Jules is sweet and I like her and I don't miss Heather and Kristen at ALL.

What did Carole's shirt say? I could never make out the words. The wallpaper..."that's the mark of a wealthy person!"

Ramona's "SUCK IT UP!" was the best...

Yes Dorinda...cake IS sacred.

[TexasGal]

As batshit as this whole thing was, I was touched by how everyone scrambled to make Dorinda feel better after she went on her tirade.  But only for about as long as the HWs were nice before sniping at each other again.

Poor Jules.  Yes, you're right.  Waiting to talk to the dr/nurse with your dad is worse than being called a slut.  Everywhere but in HW-land.

Edited June 2, 2016 by TexasGal

[Bronzedog]

I hope everyone locked their bedroom doors before they went to bed.  How long were they there that the dog was still shitting everywhere?

[archer1267]

WTF was Carole's "You bought games! That's very Asian of you"??? I never heard that stereotype but still, what a weird, random thing to say. I know Jules talks about her roots a lot and it came across as Carole parodying that.

Poor Jules. I hope her dad made it through okay. Not any of these women couldn't cough up a little compassion? 

I lost it over LuAnn and Ramona conspiring over the text messages and how to spell pedophile. Never thought I would say this, but Ramona was able to calm LuAnn down in a way no one else could. I liked how she rallied the troops and told them that they needed to get it together and be nice.

[Sheenieb]

I so can't with all of them. Luann is annoying with her duality, but Bethenny will always go to Defcon 5 when it doesn't have to be that way. I like how this escalated to Anchorman news team fight over...hair.

I wanted to tell all of them to shut the fuck up and move on. Bethenny knows that Lu is full of shit with her trying to take credit for Skinnygirl. Stop entertaining her mess. Carole, stop checking for Lu about this Adam shit. She was wrong as hell for calling Carole a pedophile, but damn, I'm tired of hearing about this shit.

Ramona should be the last person calling anyone out for not owning up to their shit. She was the same person who conveniently left out her role in the John debacle last week, now she wants to get on her high horse. Bitch, please!

Haha, Dorinda was like "don't talk about my mama's cake."

What are those green statutes that look like Ninja turtles on the mantle in Dorinda's dining room?

Agree about the dog shit scenes. Please no more! 

I noticed in the Countless's TH that her hair was different, more curly, guess so she didn't look so much like Bethenny's  anymore. 

[Neurochick]

Bethenny did her business no favors tonight.  Who would want to do business with her after that performance?  I wouldn't want to be in the same room with her.

I don't think all the dog poo got cleaned up to begin with - we know Ramona didn't touch any of it

[BogoGog24]

Bethany is basically the Donald Trump of the Housewives. She just says whatever she feels like about anyone and everyone without caring if it hurts their feelings. LMAO

So why was Dorinda so against having Sonja there again? Every time she brought up her party disasters I thought to myself "And guess who was at all of them and caused the issue? Bethenny!" 

I couldn't help but laugh when Carole said she thought Bethenny was arguing with a man when she came into the house. 

Poor Jules. I wanted to smack Luann every time Jules tried to talk about her father and Lu kept redirecting the conversation back to herself and the stupid slut comment. Such middle school mentality. 

Did Luann really reference her own song Chic C'e la Vie? LMAO

I too was wondering why if Jules was so worried about her dad why she didn't leave the party? Contractually obligated to be there? 

I would say this party trumps The Dinner Party from Hell. Wouldn't it be delicious to see Bethenny take on Alison Dubois? That's probably one fight I'd like to see Bethenny win. 

[tribeca]

  Why was everyone mad at LuAnn?   Bethany came in guns and a blazing.   Wasn't LuAnn taking Bethany down last season?   Time to let that one go.  The only one who had a legitimate reason to be mad at Lu is Carole.   Bethany is just crazy and wanted to pick a fight.   Glad Sonya missed it.

Best part of the show was my dad asking me "what ta hell kind of show is this??"

[sasha206]

If Ramona wants to keep her hair longer, I wish she'd go back to this style. The hair extensions/length are dragging her face down.

What's funny to me is I feel like LuAnn is finally being her true self -- the one who enjoys a good romp, a few drinks, and a bawdy good time.  Before they were all over her for her Countess bullshit (which I agree with).  Now she's enjoying her life and doesn't put up a pretense and she's a slut!

Would you rather...

See more dogshit scenes or Sonya getting a vagina treatment?

Use Kim Fields or Carole's stylist?

[Bronzedog]

I did kind of laugh when right after the Bethenny/Luanne showdown, they were all "let's go take a nap!"  They are together for about 24 hours and the only way they can get thru it is to sleep as much as possible.
