S09.E14: A Slippery Slope

[Wendy]

Oh crap, this is even better, Dorinda is not drunk, she is just talking with food in her mouth. 

Luann saying that she hardly talks about her marriage almost made me pee my pants, LMAO. 

[Drumpf1737]

If production really loved me they would've shown the clip of Ramona rubbing everyone's face in it that she was married.

I really miss the "don't be uncool" Countess.

Tins, your depressed and you're a drunk...embrace it, I feel you girl. Difference? I have to do it without a trust fund.

Dorinda to Beth: you hardly ever talk about your divorce

I'd rather sleep with that jacked up cucumber than John.

Then again I'd rather marry that jacked up cucumber than Tom.

Yes Luann, we get it, you're married.  No woman has ever been married in the history of the world.  You're special.  

Luann should have just kept her mouth shut.  I mean she's old enough to know better.

When I was a freshman in college, we had an English paper to write.  I got a B+ while most of my friends got C's, D's and F's.  I reveled in it because I was truly happy that I got a B+.  I accused the other girls of being racist, "you're just pissed that a black girl got a better grade than you, white isn't synonymous with smart," I said.

Years later, I realized that the girls might not have been prejudiced (and they might have too) they might have been hurt, misery loves company.  If we're all talking about how hard it is to be single, we don't need a married woman to say, "thank God I'm in a relationship."

Never ever give Dorinda that look! 

Crazy eyes makes a return next week. YIKES!!!

I am really tired of watching Ramona treat staff the way that she does.

It seemed orchestrated to me that the same person who served as Bethenny's spokesperson at the last reunion as well as during this season finds the P6 item to present on air while Bethenny is away, then states the story in front of the cameras while saying Bethenny never speaks negatively about it. 

Yeah,  that was staged, but it's now public knowledge and for how this show is needs to be addressed and Bethany legally can't say much. 

Honestly,  I wouldn't want to alert the group with Ramona there.  Did you see the preview for next week? Ramona has another meltdown while Bethany is trying to express her feelings.  Ramona is an emotional bully.  I hope she doesn't get invited.  The only reason these women care is screen time,  so for Ramona to pretend her feelings are all hurt is ridiculous.

We're two pages in and hardly anyone has complained about Bethenny!

I think this might be a first.

[LilaFowler]

Maybe I'm overreacting here but I was disturbed by Sonja forcing herself on that male chef. Imagine if it had been a group of men having dinner and one of them grabbed and tried to kiss a woman. I wasn't amused.

She kept pretty low key. But soon everything will rebound back to her.  It always does 

[Thumper]

I was having second-hand embarrassment for Ramona with the ski instructor.  Also angry at her for treating him like her servant.

I was also angry at all of them for the Sonja Truth or Dare.  That was sexual harassment.  If that had been men treating a female chef or waitstaff that way, would they have thought it so funny???   That was just plain wrong.

Lila Fowler, we must have been typing at the same time.  I did not see your post. GMTA --I am in agreement with you.

Yes! I was upset at the entire group. None of those women would have been cool if a man had done that.

If the genders were reversed, I would absolutely call it assault, so yes.

[motorcitymom65]

So Ramona thinks that because a guy is employed and has one job, that he has all the jobs? The same guy that is skilled and trained to help her with her "form" is also the guy that should get her a Corona? She is simply a horrendous human being.

She did seem more like the Bethenny of seasons 1 - 3. She even apologized to Tinsley without saying she made her go there, she was sincere and it was nice to see. Now, if she could just maintain that attitude, I could appreciate her again.

LOL Don't hold your breath that I will be able to stay, I am sure that Bethenny will relapse to the nasty side soon. That said, as long Ramona keeps up her ugly, nasty behavior, Bethenny will never be the worst of the group! LOL

[Sheenieb]

I liked how fluid everyone (save Ramona) looked on their skis. I can't shade Ramona too harshly about that, though the shade is a'coming, because I wasn't graceful the one and only time I tried skiing.

Picture it, upstate New York, winter 2003. It's my high school senior trip and me and my buddies decide to ski. City kids, on skis...

Fam? I'll let Miranda Priestly sum it up:

At least I tried, though!

Anyway, listen, if awkward, no couth having Ramona can get married, there's hope for everyone. Every week I get more and more embarrassed for her.

Nothing wrong with being happy and basking in relationship/marital glow, but Lu needs to knock it off. She's on her "I'se married, nah" shtick, and I was with Dorinda when she basically told her to stop acting brand new just because she's married. It wasn't that long ago that she was having one night stands, but now that's she's married to the UES lothario, she's clutching her pearls and fronting like she's Deaconess Luann. Stop, Lu.

Okay - random thoughts on tonight's episode:

I usually like Luann, but she is becoming insufferable with all of her married talk.  I'm glad I didn't play a drinking game with the word "married" (or anything related to it) - I would have alcohol poisoning by now.  I kind of like unmarried Luann better than married Luann.  When Luann has a ring on her finger, somehow, a propriety stick also manages to get up her ass.

Sonja - I guess she really doesn't get that if she would just say "I'M SORRY" to Luann, they could move on.  Stop stumbling over excuses and reasons - just friggin' say I'm sorry and get back on track.

Bethenny did not drive me overly crazy tonight.  She does like to control the conversation, the dinner, the room, whatever, but she wasn't too, too bad.  She's got some snowboarding skills, too.

Luann is a very good skier, and also looks very graceful on skis - you can tell she's been doing this almost her whole life.

Why didn't we get to see Sonja skiing?

Ramona, for all her talk of Aspen, doesn't seem like a very confident skier.  I'm thinking she may have gone to Aspen a few times, maybe when she and Mario were married, but probably spent more time in the apres-ski lodge than on the slopes with skis on.  Her treatment of the ski instructor was horrible!  As soon as his attention wasn't 100% focused on her, she tried to turn him into a slave - poor Tim!!  

We now also know that Ramona has decided to shave 20 years off her true age - I guess that happened when she got her implants.  Also, it doesn't surprise me that she has only slept with three guys since Mario - for all her flirting and aging coquette behavior, Ramona has always seemed to be a bit sexually prudish.  Plus, I think she has a hard time finding a guy willing to invest time in a relationship with her.

Carole and Dorinda gossiping and sharing hot chocolate/drinks/Page Six rumors - typical girl stuff.  I loved that Dorinda was wearing her green sweater again - that sweater looks great with her coloring.

Tinsley - she's headed for trouble if she is mixing anti-depression meds with the amount of alcohol she seems to be consuming.  No wonder she always sounds like she's all over the place.

That dinner looked amazing~~too bad the chef, restaurant owner and his assistants had to listen to these mature women talking about sexual antics like a bunch of college-aged kids.  It was mega-embarrassing.  

Dorinda - So glad she managed to call out Luann (oblivious to it though), and a little smack-down of Bethenny, too, by calling out Bethenny's flip-flop on Luann.

I somehow cannot imagine George Clooney and Carole together - it just doesn't seem possible.  I don't think she's lying (to easy to disprove), but it just defies imagination.

Next week's meltdown from Ramona looks ridiculous - worst acting ever!!  But, I cannot wait to see it!  :-)

Wow Sonja hair looked awful.  Keep  Ramona away from the curling iron. 

[motorcitymom65]

This was a really good episode to me. Mainly because they actually seem to be enjoying spending time together. Yes, it is a job, but they were really laughing and having fun (even though they were talking about sex around the dinner table, which bothers some). 

Loved that after 5 years we finally got confirmation on the show about Clooney. It was worth the wait.

Absolutely. He had to be. And since living well is the best revenge, watching Beth having fun, laughing and drinking, probably gave him another reason to seethe.

Ramona is celebrating her 20th anniversary of her 40th birthday. The traditional 20th anniversary gift is china. I recommend a decorative china plate that says "Bitch, you are not 40!"

I agree. Sorry (not sorry) but if Bethenny told Carole that she didn't want her to say anything about Jason and/or the divorce on the show, she wouldn't. So, that leads me to the conclusion that, at the very least, Bethenny is Ok with Carole talking about him even though this is part of why he is so angry.
