S10.E19: Life Is a Cabaret

[Straycat80]

Whew! This was one shit show (literally) of a season, but it always is and that’s why this RH franchise is my favorite. 

The reunion looks crazy of course and I wish Lu had been there, they will talk shit about her and she won’t be there to defend herself. 

I won’t miss Carole but I wouldn’t want them to bring in anyone to replace her. The other six women can carry this show IMO.

Hers was the first. She moved to Midtown.

She put her place up for sale and is looking for a new one in Midtown.  She and Lu are still estranged.

You can't reconcile if one party is locked away in a drunk tank!

Why the #@$% didn't someone tell me the show starts at 8? UGH!!!!

Right there with you - I figured it out 15 minutes in when I saw Carole's dress for the Cabaret show and was like, that doesn't look familiar... WAIT. Is this the new episode??? UGHHHH... at least I had Bravo on... or I would have totally missed it. Doh.

Sonja's reunion hair...I think she was going for Brigitte Bardot and landed on Brigitte Bardon't.

Is color block still in style?

Sonja knew her outfit would come off since her dresses are trained to slip off at 11:00

Why did Sonja choose to wear granny panties and a plain bra?

The one thing good I can say about it, is that I'm relieved there were no tags attached and she won't be auctioning them off on Ebay

As for Dorinda leaving early - I think she wanted to attend the real after party supplied by John

[scoobie1]

It took me a moment to get my eyes unglazed after the initial shot of them at the reunion. Damn that's a lot of gold black and silver

Lu is good with the stage banter, I'll give her that much.

Though of course someone else wrote it (like for most people).  She does need to take some singing lessons if she wants to keep doing this, just a small improvement (likely in how to “talk-sing”) would do wonders.

tinsley should grow a pair, telling Doris was a horrible idea.  And Doris can stop over-reacting; jeez, she tried to hide John for a long time.  I couldn’t follow the back and forth of how Luann invited Scott but not John.  But earth to Lu, a fake apology could have helped.  Same with giving a shout out to Doris and her friend for the dresses, though I suspect in the moment she was too overwhelmed with what she needed to do to realize it.

B should also learn the fake apology, that Ramona’s businesses haven’t been as successful as you decree doesn’t mean you don’t send her a text mentioning her night.  And Ramona’s first business, selling overstock, seems to have been at least somewhat successful, so get over yourself.  Jeez, how many of B’s products have really sold well?

Its a shame B and Carole were interrupted, it seemed like they might have been getting onto the right track.

Sonja, how embarrassing.  Doris, how embarrassing.

[KungFuBunny]

Tinsley got tired of waiting for Scott, she moved out of the Penthouse and into a smaller Hotel Apartment

Is this code for that Penthouse was freebied to Tinsley on the days of shooting and Scott ran all the way back to Chicago?

I forgot who compared Tinsley's french braid buns to goat horns (sorry!) - but this is for you

 

Scott told Tinsley he was done and he was moving back to Chicago.

Tinsley forced him  beat him into submission  persuaded Scott to stay

[Soaper410]

Dorinda is Elileen Davidson when she’s nice and Brandi Granville when’s she drunk.

She turns ugly mean.

I really did like that that Romona, Bethenny, and Sonja seemed genuinely excited about Luann.  B should have at least acknowledged Romona even though a pre-launch isn’t a real thing. 

Tinsley seems like she always chases after bad men and becomes way too attached too fast.  I don’t get why Carole would encourage that.

There was no way Ramona was going to let that conversation between Carol and Bethenny happen. She went straight to Carole to ensure they didn’t get another opportunity to talk.

may Lu invited Scott because she knew that if he wasn’t in town he didn’t really know a whole lot of people and they could make a night out of it. 

Dorinda shut up 

Carole you’re still an asshole

Stay classy Sonja.  "would I still do it if my daughter were at show? " stops a second. "Yes, yes I would" nice. 

So, we all now know that the whole "wardrobe malfunction" was pre-planned by Sonja - Luann should have been super pissed at Sonja for trying to upstage her at her cabaret premier night.

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

Holy shit Luann’s voice was extra deep in that red dress TH!

loved seeing her MOM. 

Glad Dorinda sold her apartment it was tiny and claustrophobic maybe that’s why she drinks !  ?

I’m trying to explain these people to my mother, since she’s staying with me and watching the finale was a nonnegotiable, and she’s looking at me with the “where have I gone wrong” eyes....

I'm dying!

I get those same eyes when I'm watching with my teenage daughter in the room. Her eyes tell me that my mom card should be revoked.

Bethenny said that she's never seen any business of Ramona's take off. While that might be true on the show, that doesn't change the fact that Ramona put in the work and was successful for years. Beth wants to pretend that she is the only successful businesswoman on RHONY. It was a bitchy, unnecessary, untrue comment and Beth knew it.  

And, if I recall correctly, Ramona and Mario's jewelry line did rather well for a few years and is still selling jewelry online.  It may be Mario's business, but is was Ramona's idea.  I don't know if she is getting any proceeds from the company since the divorce.

Wasn’t Mario’s business actually his family business? They did something like religious jewelry and trophies or some such

[Lady of nod]

Only half way through but gotta post. Loving Luann. She is absolutely stunning. ITA with Carol - she may be off key but it doesn't matter. She's definitely in her element and I applaud her for putting it out there.

Dorinda's pissed off face is one scary thing. Her heckling just one more illustration of what a nasty bitch she can be. And I don't even think she's drunk yet. 

And I'm usually on here bitching about B, but am loving that she is being supportive of Lu.

I’m not a Mother, so for all I know it’s fine, but it drives me absolutely crazy when Sonja refers to her daughter as the “kid”.  Just seems disrespectful somehow (maybe it’s the way she says it, sounds derisive to my ear).  Considering the “kid” is her meal ticket maybe she could make her sound like something more than an inconvenience.

[WhoaWhoKnew]

I'm going to have to started yelling, "It's Jovani!" at those I'm annoyed at.

yes it was his families business. She did overstock reselling (buy overstock, sell to places like TJ Maxx), she was involved with his business but I don't know to what degree... Her wine and TruReNewal lines didn't do that great. I also go back to thinking it's laughable that Ramona chides Bethenny about supporting women when she embarrassed Jill Z with Jill's Kodak connection (calling them "antiquated"), Calling Models dumb, Making fun of Kelly's lopsided bewbs, Giving Alex endless shat until she decided she was okay with her, Giving Lu shat about being married to a man who was older than her - and doing so in front of a young Victoria, that infamous scene on the bridge with Bethenny way back when, and more recently her bringing up the stoopid dlist movie BF was in many many moons ago as a way to embarrass her..  Ramona should just shush.

Yes, but then, they also branched out to costume jewelry (when everyone was wearing crosses all the time).  Ramona still wears a lot of the pieces.  It's actually pretty nice costume jewelry.  Here's the link to the fashion jewelry page:  https://www.truefaithjewelry.com/fashion-jewelry.html?page=0&sf=&sd=a#sortblock

Luann's done quite a few shows and I don't think Sonja's been invited back. That was shady as hell, especially since she'd specifically been asked to keep her clothes on. 

Luann's sister dancing in her seat gave me life! It really did look like a fun show and the majority of the cast seemed genuinely happy for Luann. They're some catty bitches so if they liked it, it must be good.

I thought all of their last shots with their recaps were less than flattering.  I wonder if the camera people were pissed at all of them!  

Also - did anyone else want to reach inside their televisions and straighten out that horribly placed, frizzed out extension on Bethenny's head during the after party?  It was so distracting!!

I cannot believe there was no acknowledgement of Dennis’ passing, even just a black screen at the end of the updates.  That surprises me, given he appeared at least once on the show this season.

Maybe his family didn’t want him associated with the tacky Bravo brand, lol.
