Table of one here? This trip would be a snooze fest without Ramona and SonJa! What would we be watching? Drunk Dorinda passed out. Lu falling. Carole and Tinsley worshipping "B"? Bethenny promoting Skinny girl? 

I'm just not a fan of the pile on. 

No one piled on Ramona and Sonja...they finally had enough of their bullshit over the rooms.

While everyone else is enjoying a tour, those bitches are off marking their territory.  

B did the best thing by drawing numbers and those two still couldn't just shut-up.  They held Carole and Dorinda's rooms hostage.

Then they had the gall to not even sit with the others at the beach.  Ramona wasn't even invited and she acted this entitled.

Ramona needs to just go away.

[CrinkleCutCat]

Husband was in the room for five minutes before he couldn't cope anymore and had to leave "they are all yapping like dogs... don't they have any moments of quiet?!"

Me: "but that's why they are good tv, no one wants to watch people being quiet on tv"... and proceeded to laugh at so many zingers tonight! Good ep.

Best episode ever!!

I am so happy Bethenny put her foot down and didn't allow these two nut jobs to get away with their emotional manipulation, these two are just awful. 

I laughed so much the whole episode, it was great. 

What it wasn't great was Ramona's treatment of the staff. I have no problem when Ramona gets into a tiff with one of her cast mates, after all they are all being paid to be there and even though some of them are trying to stop their interactions to a minimal level (Bethenny), they pretty much have no other choice but to work together. 

Ramona treating the staff with such condescending attitude tells me all I need to know about her, there is no amount of words or tip that Ramona can provide to explain this. These people work for a living, this is the source of income and they have to put up with it. They can tell her to F&^% off and put her own things away, they can't tell her what they really think of her and her "requests" Ramona is a typical entitled woman who is not grateful for anything and thinks they deserve everything. This is her real personality. 

If anything gets misplaced or she forgot where she put it, Ramona would be the kind to accuse one of the staff and get them fired before even bothering to look around. I hate people like her.

I think Carole outdid herself last night with her "Stockholm Syndrome" and referring to Sonja as Tinsley's "captor".  Well done Carole.   Bethenny was right Sonja is not doing herself any favors by aligning with Ramona.  However, I do think Sonja feels just as entitled as Ramona.

I agree. Ramona does bring it out of Sonja, but she's no saint on her own. I think Sonja actually LIKES to align herself with Ramona, because Ramona always comes off worse. So it ends up making Sonja look better.

Maybe I was getting a little dizzy from all the room rushing but weren't there only upstairs rooms in the main house?  It was a beautiful property and I don't quite understand why Ramona and Sonja feel the need to share a room.

Tinsley was correct to give her #1 slot to Bethenny.  Further proof she is a good houseguest. 

I don't get the whole room thing....at all.

Every vacation we take with our grown children, they always try to insist DH and I take the best room in the house because we pay for the house. Nope.  We take turns, or give the largest room to one of the children who needs a crib in their room.  DH and I need a bed, a TV, and we're good.

I don't think they are mentally ill either.

Page Six article from February 18, 2017. It doesn’t say ungrateful or inconsiderate anywhere.

http://pagesix.com/2017/02/18/being-a-housewife-isnt-helping-tinsley-mortimer/

The conversation in Mexico where they showed the flashback of Ramona telling Tinsley she should bring the hostess a gift – I agree. Tinsley is an ungrateful, entitled, whiny twat.

Tinsley moved into Sonja’s for 5 months for emotional support. Twatsley brags about going shopping every day. She is not in a financial bind. She was not staying there to save money for the security and deposit. She was looking at apartments in the $9000 range and stayed at Sonja’s for 5 months. If she can spend $700 on one top and does this on a daily basis, then she could have given Sonja money for a repairman for the brown ice fridge. She could have paid for a handyman for the townhouse. She could have paid for a service to clean the townhouse. She could have bought Sonja a 10 pack of Sharpies. She could have paid for Sonja’s property taxes or water bill or electricity bill. Dale mentioned a tin of cookies, that only cuts it if she was financially unable to contribute more. Had Tinsley given Sonja anything, she would have listed them every time the subject has come up and yet not once has she mentioned anything. All she does is cry her woe is me each time. You and your Barrel Curl wig - Shad Up!

Guess different strokes.  Just made me sad looking at an older lady falling down drunk & sloshing her words.  She may have been laughing.  I still thought it was sad.  Auntie Mame?  Lu?  God no.  Auntie Mame was fun & totally self-aware & full of wit & sharp sarcasm.  That's not Lu at all & never will be.  OK, she does make some occasionally witty & sarcastic comments & true, she isn't quite the ridiculously pretentious, haughty, judgmental, snooty-to-the-max phony-baloney she was in earlier seasons, but that's still in her.  Oh, that's still in her.  Anyhoo, falling down drunks are not hilarious to me, whatever their age & even if they are phony-baloney pretentious assholes like Lu.

Now OTOH, slutty Lu?  That, I can get into.  C'mon Lu, start looking for Mexican pirates.

As for Ramona, I think she is done for, she keeps breaking that 4th wall, she even got Bethenny to do it tonight!

If I'd been Bethenny, I would have told Ramona to go get a hotel room, thrown her shit out the front door and locked it.  I'm too old to deal with that kind of disrespectful bullshit anymore.

Sounds like you raised them to be appreciative, respectful, and gracious and now they know how to be appreciative, respectful, and gracious adults unlike our two POS embarrassments to the USA and humanity in general, Ramona and Sonja.

I don't know how old your children are, but I'm guessing they aren't in their 60s. It always makes me cringe when younger people present better than their elders.

When Sonja said her daughter would never act like her, she should have been embarrassed as all hell.

I thought Carole's bones were going to crumble and turn to dust when Dorinda squeezed her for the balloon game. She seems delicate and brittle.

Tinsley jumped up and down at the dinner and had a full on temper tantrum, wow, the outfits she wears suit her personality to a T

Luann is lucky she was drunk so she didn't do some damage when she took the second tumble.

I have been to Mexico many, many times (Puerto Vallarta - very near Punta Mita, where they are staying, Cabo, and the Riviera Maya) - I have found the staff at almost every resort to be the most kind, hard working, pleasant people.  I was very, very upset to see the way Ramona treated the villa staff.  I actually think this behavior is something very normal for Ramona - I recall her acting this way when they went to Morocco, as well.  

Although, I don't recall this behavior when she was "hosting" the trip to the villa in St. John.

This - so much.  And they really appreciate any attempt by you to communicate in Spanish rather than English.  Helpful, kind and wonderful.  

Speaking of Spanish - I wonder if the staff got even with Madam Imperious by answering her in Spanish, smiling and nodding the whole time:

Ramona (snapping fingers):  Here, I need you to put this away now.  I am exhausted.

Steward (in Spanish, smiling, nodding):  Of course you pizza-faced asshole.  

Ramona:  And I want my tea in the morning, at precisely 8:30 a.m., with lemon and brewed to a temperature of 110 degrees.

Steward:  Of course, you ugly American bitch.  I will spit it in until the right temperature is achieved.

But can we talk about what TINSLEY wore???? They were 80s Malibu Barbie and she was 80s Southern Prom Barbie. Sooooo many bad fashion choices that night. And LU was the drunk one????

 

It reminded me of this stupid potato game my MIL made us play at my baby shower. I love Dorinda, but no thanks. 

 

Those shrews seriously have no idea how fortunate they are. Many people watching have never even traveled out of the country. I was only blessed enough to finally do so earlier this year (I'm 37). My mother and I went to Ireland. It was my dream and my husband finally made it happen. We were on a budget trip and stayed in little B&Bs along the way. They were all lovely and I was so grateful to just BE there that I didn't even mind sharing a bed with my mother for 3 nights out of our 6. Could they just have stopped and looked around for 5 minutes? That place was GORGEOUS. They're on an amazing trip, one that some people only dream of, and all they care about is which amazing room is the "worst" of the bunch? I mean, really.....

 

I read that too fast and thought it said, "but they always WAKE up". And I'm thinking - that's how low the bar is set in this relationship? If one doesn't kill the other in their sleep it's a good night? 

 

Except I think it's BS. We've seen Carole eat numerous times. Hell, she's known for talking with her mouth full of food. I think that's just some crap that people say to skinny people, and it pisses me off. It was just another excuse for why those shrews needed a "better" room. They wanted to be near the kitchen, so have access to food. So dumb. 

 

Two points off of what you said. 

1) Exactly about having no idea how fortunate they are. I'm privileged in that I get to travel to wonderful places and I live in Dubai. I would NEVER dream of treating the staff like that. I have a live in maid/nanny that is basically family and I would never treat her like Ramona treats these people. Absolutely horrendous.

2) On your Carole and eating point...  It is skinny shaming and for some reason, people find it ok to do it. People recognize that you shouldn't fat shame but yet they will shame the crap out of skinny people. I'm built like Carole and I heard all the time about how I must be anorexic, I need to eat more, etc. Carole eats. She is a very proud lover of junk food. And what the hell with the excuse that they need to be close to the kitchen so Ramona can make Sonja's tea when 2 minutes later she was giving the staff instructions on how to make it???

I’m not a B fan, but she was truly the VIP of that episode.  She was a trooper while she was sick and looked really nice at the dinner.  Ramona is completely off the chain.  She’s such an ugly person.  I’ll never know how Mario kept his sanity after living with her for so long.  I felt so bad for the poor lady when Sonja was dragging her up to help with Ramona’s bags.  I couldn’t agree with B when she seemed to be blaming Sonja’s bad behavior on Ramona, though.  Sonja is a grown woman and it’s on her if she behaves like an ass (which she did).  I wish Dorinda had thrown not only their luggage in the pool, but both of them.  Plus, I would hope that the water would make them both melt!!! Witchy witches, indeed!!

[eXiled]

This episode is a great example of why I just can't seem to quit the NY Housewives. The way they relate to each other seems organic, even when Ramona psycho ass is forcing the situation. I love how the various personalities bounce off each other -- for good or evil.

- Ramona is loathsome, always has been, but she's a main event for me. Just crazy entertaining enough to offset the narcissism (unlike say, Aviva whose brand of insanity made me switch channels).

- Beth is cool in small doses, especially when she's not complaining about her "homelessness" and trying to make us empathize over her divorce.

- Luann is a sexy beast and seems like a hoot to hang with. And not a peep about Tom. I'd F you too, Countess, lol! Keep the rest of these chicks mad!

- Sonja continues to be Ramona's messy handmaiden, whose only genuine issue this season is her genuine envy for Tinsley.

- Tinsley seems like a decent person, in a shallow, born-rich kinda way. Her tantrums though make me pause. She really does act like a five year old when she's angry. My mouth fell open when she started stomping around.

- Carole seems laid back, something I appreciate with this bunch of narcissists, try-hards and Type A personalities. I agree that she eats and eats often. I just don't know how much of that food is digested by traditional means. Not my business, so . . .

- Dorinda took a minute to grow on me, but I found myself wishing she'd been able to stay awake long enough to make it nice with Sonja who seems to take the brunt of Dorinda's haranguing. I do, however, like that Sonja can take a tongue-lashing and break bread with the person soon after as if nothing untoward happened. One of her better qualities. Luann is great about this too.

I'm learning how to do that and it's been so freeing. I'm a grudge-holder from way back. It's amazing that I can honestly say the NY HoWives have helped me with one of my life's greatest lessons!

Love all of you posters. So funny! So smart and astute and quick! Keep it coming. Long hot day ahead here in Brooklyn (where the HoWives wouldn't dare venture! I need the laughs.)

[tribeca]

I like that Lu was so drunk she had to leave the dinner but still totally checked herself out in the mirror on the way out of the room.  She does fall gracefully LOL.  Can laugh since she didn't get hurt. 

Beth really looked awful in the first part of the trip.  Could tell she wasn't feeling well.   That did not stop her from handling it to Ramona.   This is the first time I ever liked Bethany   

Tinsley was really upset over that article.  She should just move out.  They hardly show the roommates like they did with Luanne.   I don't have a big place and have had people stay with me when they were getting their stuff together.   Can't remember how many family/friends stayed with my parents throughout the years.  Never once did occur to anyone that they should buy us a gift

No, because Ramona would have taken one lifeboat for herself (and maybe some luggage) ;p

It appears that since Dorinda was "indisposed" Luann decided to be the designated drinker.

Ramona is pathetic and obviously does not follow medical orders (such as no sun after a peel, etc.)  It's no wonder she looks like crap.  All I could think of while looking at her was veal carpaccio. Also . she kept referring to Tinsley as "Tince-lee".  Of course, she can't correctly pronounce other things, so why am I surprised?  

I hope she enjoyed the kryptonite...

Exactly. We've taken in several friends and family members over the years and have never expected a gift in return.  We did it to help them out. 

I forget who it was that originally said it but it was about how true acts of charity that are done for the right reason are done without public recognition. If you are doing it to get the public recognition then you aren't doing it for the right reason.

And Tinsley was, ultimately, quite charitable with Sonja.   She gave her a storyline (besides her evergreen SL about fucking one dude and lying about it to another in order to get dinners paid for), Tins gave decent advice about stemming her references regarding Tom in front of Lu, defended Honja during Dorinda's rant-n-read in the Hamptons - all to be treated with disdain and malice by Sonja.

ITA that Tinsley seems pretty nice in a clueless, grew up with a degree of privilege kind of way.  The fits are not a good look but hell, she was likely full of tequila and realizing how nasty Sonja has been.

Honja is every bit as vile as Ramona, to me.

WTF did I just watch ?!?!? When the most likable person of an episode -for me- is Bethenny.... Please, gimme a rope !
 

Ramona and Sonja are totally insufferable ! (I know, call me Captain Obvious...)

If I were there, I would have thrown both of them in the pool before we even started to see the rooms, and told : No worries, Bitches ! As you're #6 and #7, you'll got plenty of time to get out the swimming pool. And I also would have given Ramona "her" noodles. F*ckYa !

I confess: I recorded it and started to watch after the Ninjas were asleep and turned it off when Dorinda left the room with Ramona still petulantly squatting on the bed. 

Srsly, Andy: give us something entertaining!! Watching as a bunch of skinny-ass rich women scutter around from room to room, arguing about sleeping arrangements -- it is NOT the look; it is NOT tv remotely worth watching.

BRAVO, you may think that lots of exasperated comments about Ramona = great viewership. I say you're on thin ice keeping her, since the rest of the cast's truly entertaining minutes really don't balance out the revulsion of having to watch her. Let her go!!!

[ButterQueen]

I'm rewatching since my husband is at work and I can turn the volume way up....I watched last night while he was trying to sleep.  ??

The part I could not rewatch was the scene of Ramona and Sonja kissing and petting each other as they stroked their own egos.  Gag me!

I'm giving a side eye to everyone being 1.5 hours late for dinner.  Carole and Lu are pretty prompt, and neither said a word about being late.

I hate Dorinda passed out.  I love a drunk Dorinda.

This reinforces what I always thought rocketed her to fame during her 1st stint on RH and hurt her during her spin off and during her confrontation with Lu last season. Beth needs a foil crazier and more rabid than her to make her look like the chorus. In the beginning she played against Jill, Kelly, etc., and you couldn't help but root for her but against the face of patently avg like Jason and his family, she didn't come off so well. Last season, it was Lu, who does have her idiosyncrasies, plays it too cool (not uncool) in the face of unprovoked unhinged Bethanny.

Ramona is just the villain she needs - no self awareness, selfish, ridiculous, mean and clueless all with a soupcon of malice.

Because he's an asshole, too.

Ok so I'm on my about 87th viewing of this episode cause I don't have shit else to do today.

I need to know what a gavone animal is. I googled, but I am still unsure. Please help! I'd love to start saying it.

I assumed Bethenny meant Gabon, as in a species of monkey. 

I thought she was making the point that they aren't wild monkeys, swinging from the vines and peeing on 'intruders' to mark their territory. 

I don't know that I'm correct but that's my best guess.

In a past season Luann hosted a trip to Morocco, I think, and someone was late for dinner.  Luann royally went off on them saying they weren't at a hotel and I'm not sure they were even allowed to eat.  So now she doesn't bother showing up on time either?
