Okay, I may have defended Bethany about her posting about her dead dog,  cuz I've lost a soul pet,  but her filmed breakdown for social media was such an attention seeker thing. 

I so agree. I would have been crying along with her if it had just been that talking head with her saying that Cookie was loved. But the flashback to her social media meltdown (and filming Cookie wtf??) had me shaking my head. We had to put our sweet girl down this past January and I can assure you that FILMING her last hours/day was truly the last thing on my mind. I mean, who DOES that?? 

That said, I give her major kadooz for her charity work.

Oh crap I remember  reading that on her forum do they show much ? My best buddy has cancer and I don't think I can take it.  I'm sure there is some kind of alcohol here. I've been looking  Forward to the return of these housewives. Are any of them housewives??  

They don’t show much—thankfully. Sorry about your buddy! :(

Why is it necessary to turn something so positive, that help thousands of people - and make it a negative???    This should have nothing to do whether people like or not like Bethenny. 

Bottom line, if you need to get something done - you want to have someone like The B on your side.  She way more effective in this effort than many who were all talk.

Retread what I wrote. I said you can raise awareness without detailing what you yourself did. I post on social media constantly for animal charities WITHOUT saying how much I volunteer or how much money I contribute. That is what I meant. She could have said we found out the supplies they needed and made sure we helped. Period. Not I did this, I did that. That's my point. It's a self serving agenda when you detail your work. That's my opinion, not being negative at all.

Bethenny and Ramona look great in their THs.

She did A LOT, helped hundreds, if not thousands, of people.  She deserves props IMO.

Yes, she did, but I don't think it was necessary of Bethenny to mention the amount of money that Tinsley and Ramona donated.  I thought that was a little classless.

Why LuAnn???? WHY????

Starting off the show with Bethenny telling us how wonderful and charitable she is.

The upshot is that we got it out of the way early.

[njbchlover]

I seriously can't figure out who was more drunk - Dorinda, Luann or Ramona (I also think that Sonja wasn't drinking non-alcoholic beverages, either - she looked pretty tipsy, too!)

Speaking of ghoulish—Bethenny’s snapchats of a dying dog and her sobbing.

I don’t begrudge people their feels, but... It’s how she was presenting it...

And everyone cries into their cellphone.  

[ghoulina]

Yay! My girls are back! I don't know what it is about this franchise, but I just get such a kick out of NY. And we're already off to a great start. 

 

This is the season of the breakups, eh? Bye, Tom....and Scott....and Adam....and Frenchie. Too bad it wasn't bye, John. When he asked Tinsley if she was s virgin I almost threw up. 

 

Carole's costume was my favorite. I loved that she didn't do the obvious and pick a "sexy" costume. I also kind of love that she smoked because Amelia did? So random, but hilarious. Especially because she's about to run a marathon (which, good on her, but she runs like Phoebe Buffy). That's commitment to character!

Sonja's was my least favorite. I did not see Lucy. I saw Wilma Flintstone gets a job at Downton Abbey. 

So she's really with Rocco now? Full on? I feel bad, because it always seems like she's using him. 

And what was with her weird ads summer story? "I went on anti-depressants, went to France, and ate a bunch of crossaints. Then I got too fat, so it was off to Costa Rica to cleanse it all out!" Is that why she was out of touch with everyone until filming? Just weird. 

 

Also weird, is something going on with Carole and Bethenny? Carole wasn't at her charity dinner. Does that mean she didn't donate? It's just odd. I wonder if Carole's closeness with Tinsley has anything to do with it.

Bethenny's charity work was astounding. I have nothing negative to say about that. 

 

Ramona is still a snob. Those digs just fly out of her mouth before she can think. 

 

I'm not here for a season of Luann moaning about Tom. I'm with Carole - maybe LU should have called and apologized to everyone. That marriage was a joke from day one. I'm over it. 

And I'm not sure where Sonja's camel analogy fits in, but I'm eternally grateful for the flashback. 

 

Best part of the episode was drunk Dorinda planning a chicken and Ghost Hunters sleepover with Carole. Oh, NY, I just can't quit you!

Luann is on WWHL tonight. Guarantee Andy will quiz her about that outfit choice. Let's see her back pedal that one!! Ms. Ettiquette. 

She'll say it was a homage to Diana Ross, a tribute if you will.  She had to go as a singer you know.

I figured she could contact John and he could network a seamstress but what she did was next level. I sooo love seeeing an organic RH priveledge  moment like that rather than these bitches fighting in a contrived scene. 

 

I love it too!!!!  That's why I initially wanted to watch a RH show with rich and famous people.

Who ever did Sonja's TH makeup needs their license revoked.

It looked like her face was covered in the heavy makeup that drag queens use.  Someone really wanted her to look foolish.  

"I only smoke in costume!" gave me such a chuckle.  

[RedDelicious]

Ugh. I don't know if I can take another entire season of Bethenny talking over people and demanding they listen to her.

In 15 minutes NewYork managed to be far more interesting/entertaining than anything on BH this season. 

I loved 60something Ramona as Brittney.  I thought Bethenny looked amazing at the gala. I followed her on Instagram and donated money as a result of seeing her efforts.

My favorite scene was absolutely watching John escort drunk Dorinda out of her party. Good for him.

[Emmeline]

I’ve thought that Dorinda was drinking too much for several seasons.  She needs to stop.

 I also thought LuAnn was drinking too much when I saw her in Mexico last season.  No matter what excuses she gave I thought it was driven by her thoughts about Tom.  Can you image how she must have worried about his philandering when she was out of town.  

Even when Ramona was thinner she always had a tummy, but she was embarrassing in that latex and Dorinda was too by the end of the evening.

I loved it when Bethenny tells Dorinda that she's a drunk and Dorinda acts so upset by this revelation.  Come on, girl.  NO ONE has ever told you that?!?! LOL  I love Dorinda.  

If Tom Schwartz got drunk like her, it would be funny.  

[gatopretoNYC]

Holy hell, I didn't realize how much I missed these crazy bitches until tonight. I've been pissed off and grumpy with my family since Saturday, and these nutjobs made me laugh like crazy!

I did have to ff through Bethenny talking about Cookie passing, though. I lost my super sweet, beloved cat Tiki last June, and though it's been a while, apparently it's still too soon to be able to watch that without getting teary.

I think it’s fine that she went into detail about how much she personally did.  Who said you always have to be modest about charity work?

It’s a gossipy reality show, people like to know these kind of things.  Ramona being cheap, big surprise.  

[Sew Sumi]

I saw plenty of good Christian people humblebraggingon social media about their hurricane relief efforts in the aftermath. It wasn't just Bethenny.

Mine too. It was very sweet, and John appeared to recognize (and Dorinda too since she wanted to leave) that she had had enough and needed to go before she said something she might regret. 

I laughed out loud when Luann told Carole that she should have phoned her when "the shit hit the fan". Honey, the shit hit the fan when TomCat was caught kissing an ex a few days before your engagement party. In fact, it never stopped hitting the fan.  I also thought it was interesting when Carole asked Luann why she didn't phone her when Carole and Adam broke up. After all, Carole and Adam lasted longer than Luann and TomCat's courtship, engagment, and marriage combined. By a couple of years. I think.

I am looking forward to this season. It will be interesting to see how Luann is leading up to when she ends up in jail. And after of course. On this franchise there is no one  that I detest, like there is on RHOBH (Dorito) and RHOOC (Peggy and Lydia, though at least they won't be back). Welcome back, ladies!

Ramona should have kept her mouth shut, but what does Bethenny get from going at her 100 times worse?

There are not words for how horrified I am by Luann’s costume.

For sure. That struck me too. 

[TVFan17]

I have been inexplicably, irrationally excited about this new season starting since last year.   I hope it does not disappoint!   I'm on the west coast, so I have to wait a little longer for the episode to air here on my end, but I can't wait!  

Over the years, I have watched all of the Real Housewives series, in all cities, at some point or another.   Because I live in Southern California, one might assume that Orange County and Beverly Hills are my favorites of the Housewives installments, but.... nope.  It's New York!   I stopped watching New Jersey several seasons ago.   I did not watch any of the most recent season of Orange County. I have not watched any of the current season of Beverly Hills that is wrapping up soon.  I haven't watched any of this most recent season of Atlanta.  And I did not watch the second season of Dallas.   

But I am all about the New York ladies, and I don't know why.   (And I will probably watch the new season of Potomac because I have not gotten tired of them yet.)

[hoodooznoodooz]

Sonja looks so strange in the TH with the red halter dress.

[Any day now]

I was surprised to see Jason in the Cookie montage. I didn’t think B would “allow” that.

[mbaywife123]

I have missed Ramona and her clueless delusions!

I almost fell off the couch onto the floor laughing at her speaking into Lu's fake costume microphone at the party like she was being interviewed for some real news show or that the audio was off for some reason during filming.

Sonja told her date and the bartender that she wanted something that had real alcohol in it, instead of the orange bubbly drink, I guess.  So apparently Sonja has, once again, fallen off the wagon.  Lol

I misunderstood Sonja (maybe I was distracted by her really bad "Lucy" makeup and her wig with the tissue hanging out all over....) - I thought she said she wanted something WITHOUT alcohol, LOL!!  

It looked to me like those orange drinks were blood orange martinis - and they do pack a punch, because you don't really taste the alcohol.  I also noticed that Dorinda started drinking those while she was having her hair and makeup done before the party, so she was already on her way before the party even started! 

[RedDelicious]

Bethenny turns every argument into a tinkling match, that what she has acquired should make her the authority on everything because it's more than what the other person has. She forgets that Ramona WAS successful in her career as a buyer. I also believe there is a big difference between "owning 5 properties" and owning two "homes". Ramona has had a life in the city and in the Hamptons for a long, long time. I'm no fan, but she called Bethenny out just as Bethenny would have done to her.

Every thought I had during the episode flew out of my head as soon as I saw Luann's costume. WTF. What the FUCK?!

[Batwings]

Drunk Dorinda with her bubbles hanging and falling off was everything. 

I hope they can integrate the Lu/Camel flashback into every season. LOL

I think Ramona looked good in her TH with the shorter hair. Carole, IMO, somehow looks worse each season.

I honestly would not have even gotten that she was supposed to be Diana Ross. A long, super full wig might have looked like Diana Ross. A 4 foot high afro? No.

Also, did I hear wrong? I thought Dorinda said the costumes were supposed to be famous people who are still alive. Lucy & Ricky? Amelia Earheart? Was John supposed to be a particular famous S.W.A.T. person? Also, Barbie is not a person. Sheesh.

I don't think a reality show filmed during that time didn't show others "humble bragging." All these shows film their charitable work. People just dont like Bethenny so it matters not what she does. Had she done nothing they would have also called her out. 

She saw a need and she did something. She has a platform. A reality show about her life and that was part of her life.

Yes to all this. I think Carole looks so much better with her hair darker.

[RedDelicious]

Humblebragging is lipstick on a pig. It doesn't matter who does it. 

[mbaywife123]

Can Sonja please retire the red silk wrap dress of dismodisty?

[breezy424]

Well, from the other side of pool....For me, Lu was not in black face.  Far from it.  It's a Halloween costume.  I don't think there was any disrespect to Diana Ross.  Yeah, Miss Ross did do the big fro at times.  It's a 'Halloween costume'.  Again, she didn't do black face.  She did a bronzer.

What the heck was Beth's costume?  The invitation said a woman dead or alive.  Barbie?  And who is Beth to question Ro about empowering women?  When has Beth empowered women?  Overall, all I've seen is Beth putting other women down.   As for Cookie, yes, it's sad to have to put a pet down.  Been there, done that, multiple times.  I've never gone on SM asking people what to do while hysterically crying...with your daughter in the room.  You're a grown up, a parent, you take charge and do what you have to do.  As much as I cant' stand her, I thought Ro as Brittany was 'good'.  And geez Ro, get a haircut.

Whoa, heavy eye, soft lips Sonja.  Or the opposite.  You don't do heavy on both.  Makeup 101.

Just not feeling Carole.   Yeah, great, you're doing the NY marathon.  You could have sent Lu a text.  Stop trying to be so cool.  And the light blond hair?  Not working...at least for me.

Until I saw the caption of who Bethenny was supposed to be, I thought she was a sexed-up Elle Woods from Legally Blonde

Carole is fast approaching the island of one with no return.

Maybe she can go hang with Kelly and ride the fake horse in the living room.

Sonja looks like Judy Jetson's robot not Lucy Ricardo, and she just rubbed the heck out of her one nostril.

[Yours Truly]

Welp let the season of the I told you so’s begin.. I mean it’s not going to be fun to watch everyone fake sympathy for Luann while taking a million and one jabs at her during filming and in their talking heads. So far already in the first episodes there’s been a lot of digs and nasty smirky comments thrown around. Gonna be rolling my eyes a lot this season. Hearing these women pretend they aren’t ecstatic about having the opportunity to be mean spirited bitches. Hey I got no problem with them being real but it’s gonna be so infuriating watching them try to spin some sweet overall concern while taking all those shots. It would be easier to swallow if they were just straight up about their I told you so’s. I also am not looking forward to them taking these pot shots all season as the automatic go to when they are having some sort of disagreement with Luann regardless of the topic.. 

[Cherrio]

I was sickened when I saw Luann in that costume.

It was blackface in my opinion, the only difference is its the 2018 version of it.

She tried to lie her way thru it on WWHL tonight and only dug herself a deeper hole. 

She is dumb and ignorant and so for her to think that was a great idea only proves my point.

She expects Carole to call her? She called Carole a pedophile.  Carole was right, she owes everyone an apology for her gloating and non-stop obnoxious behavior.
