The Countess making fun of Lady Morgan is so much cognitive dissonance I may pass out.

Yes! I literally yelled out at my TV, "Like you should be talking, you pretentious biotch!"

[breezy424]

Kudos to Tins who moved into a different room with Lu basically harassing her to get out ASAP.

What the heck is Beth talking about?  She had a good time with her new boyfriend but cried through A Star is Born because of Dennis?  Girl was talking so fast tonight throughout, I was like could you turn the audio speed down.  And, she can't stay at the house if she doesn't have Hannah's room but then she doesn't care what room she has.  Oookay....

So, the Lady Morgan has been no more for years.

Lu, you're not a special snowflake. 

[Chickabiddy]

So, maybe it’s just me, but I think Dorinda taking the group to the Morgan summer cottage was just a not so subtle way of rubbing Sonjia’s nose in the shit reminder of all she had and lost. Drunk  or sober, Dorinda has a real nasty streak to pick on Sonjia. I see her as the weakest and most pathetic of them all. Plus, she really is the nicest of all the harridans. 

And while we are in the subject of Dorinda, girl needs to set some boundries. She bends over backwards for these heifers and then snaps and turns vicious. It’s a Jekyll and Hyde transformation that just wears me out.

What gets to me more is that green semigloss paint over such a large surface of wall area. It's horrendous.  And I've never seen or thought possible that taxidermy would go in a bedroom.   Move that shit to a den or a library....

I believe that Dorinda mentioned the walls were coated with 12 layers of lacquer to get that effect.  I’m not crazy about that either.  Still, that is a beautiful home designed by the architect Stanford White and that’s a big deal.

Bethenny with “I need a tampon does anyone have one?” Seems to me she was implying of course not, you don’t need them anyone. Bethenny, honey, there will come a day when you don’t need them anymore either, or you don’t because, well, you’re not around to be crying or doing much of anything (I digress).

I traveled a lot for work. Sometimes every week. I still have my ”go bag” under my bed - my carry on with essentials - including a box of tampons. Bethenny is always traveling- how does she not have that in her go bag? She’s always traveling. I was traveling so much I ordered tampons to be delivered on subscribe and save on Amazon Prime because I didn’t have any spare time to shop. Five years later and 2 years into menopause I still had tampons in my “go bag” and about 10 unopened boxes in my bathroom. I donated the rest to the local food bank.

Yep, me too and so would a lot of other people (80 something %) according to a poll they just did on WWHL. 

[UsernameFatigue]

Like others, I am confused as to why Tinsley had to move from her room, when Luann could just have moved into the non shark infested room that Tins moved to? Or did that room not meet the countess's standards either, and they just edited that part out? 

Since I am too lazy to google, does the naked chef  really use the moniker the "Bear Naked Chef" as the caption read, or does the captioning person not know the difference between "bear" and "bare"? Either way, I would only want him to cook for me if I was dieting, as he would definitely kill my appetite. Heck, I lost my appetite just watching him on TV. 

The best part of this episode for me was when Sonja was at the Morgan house, and talking about how she had a historic Morgan house as well. When she talked about the huge responsibility of keeping this historic part of history up (paraphrasing here), then the editors cut to the scene of Sonja explaining that the sink is broken because she was having sex on it, and it pulled away from the wall, I lost it. This franchise either has the best editors, or they just have the best material to work with. 

[rhys]

I hope Sonja takes her daughter to that Morgan house. Quincy needs to have every opportunity to see all the history of her family. I thought it was nice of D to arrange the tour for that crazy group. Guess I should have known that S would have lost her shit.

Right.  Unless she got her period walking from the limo to the front door, there is no way she couldn’t have had the driver pull over at a Walgreens for her to pick some up.  She remembered her 5 diamond rings, but doesn’t have a sleeve of tampons in her luggage?  

She was also staying in Hannah’s room, which I would guess is an en-suite, and probably has supplies in the cabinet.  JUST A GUESS.

Luann is being a total B right now, but good lord I would NEVER want to be indebted to Bethenny.  Here comes Jesus Christ.  Did she pay for the rehab?  I’m very confused about this whole situation. Barbara was some sort of emergency POA and Bethenny “got her a room”?  How charitable of you, Bethenny.  Show how you really feel about the things you do from the goodness of your heart.

[Ms Blue Jay]

This show is better than the Godfather trilogy and the Bible!  Then again I haven't watched or read either!  You can only understand this show under the influence!  I can't imagine a sober person getting this!

I love Tinsley and Ramona for checking Barbara for being so STUPID as to think she should sit at the head of the table!  And Ramona panicking when Sonja was handling Coco drunk!  🤣

RHONY makes RHOBH look like ...... look like....... I want to say paint drying but I would rather watch paint drying than RHOBH.

So, wait - let me get this straight, because I am confused. 

When they all got back to Dorinda's house, Tinsley packs up her stuff and moves into her new room, in order to give Luann her original room.  But, Tinsley doesn't move into the shark room - she moves into a completely different room! 

Then, Dorinda says that she has five guest rooms.  So, I'm guessing that the house has at least seven bedrooms - Dorinda's room, Dorinda's daughter's room, and five guest rooms (and, perhaps, maids' rooms somewhere else).  Dorinda is sleeping in her room, Bethenny is in Dorinda's daughter's room, and there is five extra bedrooms for the five other women.

So, all this fighting about who was going to stay in the shark room was all bullshit?  Who was supposed to stay in that extra non-shark bedroom - Barbara?  Well, if that's the case, I kind of get why Luann was pissed.  Lu's behavior was extremely rude and discourteous, but if she was staying for two nights and Bethenny and Barbara are only staying one night, why would they get the "better" rooms?  Why didn't Dorinda just give Luann the choice of picking one or the other, and then, Barbara would have to stay wherever Luann isn't?  

This seemed like producer manipulation to me, unless, of course, Dorinda thinks that the shark room is better than the other rooms in the house.

I'm quite sure I heard Dorinda say that the house had 7 bedrooms, so that would be one bedroom for each of them (Dor, Beth, Tins, Lu, Barb, Ramona, Sonja), meaning one person would have to stay in the shark room. On the night Lu arrived, Beth and Barb hadn't arrived so there were two extra bedrooms that night and Tins moved into the non-shark room. Except, I'm sure that Ramona and Sonja are sharing a room aren't they? That would mean that you are right, there would be an extra empty room. So why did Dorinda say on the first night that she was one room short which is why Ramona and Sonja said they would share? I'm confused.

Who else thought that when Tinsley went to move her luggage from her original room, Luasshole was going to say, "Not now.  It's not a good time for me."

Another thing, Luasshole said she would have thought Dorinda would remember how hungover she was in the shark room the last time she was there.  Last season it was she thought she should have the best room because she thought the other women would be thinking she was a newlywed so they'd give it to her.  Like the other women have nothing going on except to be thinking about her.  That's not how it works Luann!  That's not how any of this works!

Wow. Lu had a full on hissy fit and almost got a room at a hotel. I just cannot believe the lack of grace and manners these women are exhibiting. I would never insult a friend's home or decor. 

Oh, and it's triggering? Because she was drunk there? Looks like she better just leave New England entirely, if that's the way it works. 

So then Tinsley, who was FULLY unpacked, has to relocate all of her stuff! She's a better woman than I am. And Dorinda is really keeping it together better than I would as well. 

Not that I think My deserves it; but I was glad Dorinda finally apologized. I think she just had to allow herself to get to a vulnerable place. But now it's just one less thing Lu can hold over her head. 

Taking Sonja to Ventfort Hall was a horrible idea. I knew it before they even walked in. That's why she ended up so drunk. She can't cope with the reminders of the life she lost. Dorinda isn't jealous that you were married to a Morgan. You're jealous that you no longer are. It's really quite sad. 

NY always has the best comic relief. Every time that Dracula popped up to spy on them talking by the pool I just burst out laughing. 

Poor Tinsley. I do think she really does get the short end of the stick a lot. But her analogywas awfully graphic. 

I'm so over Barbara. She walked in oozing attitude. From her comments about the room to wanting to sit at the head of the table. Just go home already. 

Barbara is not nice.

She doesn't want Dorinda and Luann to make up.

You know Luann texted Barbara about the "Fish" room and Barbara isn't in a place to complain about another woman's decor when we;ve seen her place.

She's made snipes about Bethenny behind her back multiple times in TH shots and then you see her hug her like a lifeline when B arrived.

I totally agree. There is nothing attractive about the way that room is decorated, from the paint color, to the bedding to the stuffed fish. U-g-l-y.  Taxidermy does not belong in a bedroom. A bedroom should have a soothing quality that is conducive to promoting a restful sleep. That room has none of those qualities. I think Dorinda has bad taste in home decor.

She’s a multi millionaire, it makes NO SENSE.  She just wanted attention.  She could have post mated them to be delivered to the house en route, she could have stopped along the way, she could have had a post mates driver meet her on the side of the highway, hell she could have had the post mate driver pull up alongside the limo and toss them across to her relay style.  It’s ridiculous.  And it’s also not the first time she has made a dig to this group about menopause.  Girl, it’s just around the corner for you so shut the fuck up.

I’d like to know why Bethenny is taking notes on Luann’s rehab accountability.  If she paid for it, mention it all.  Otherwise she should probably zip it.  It’s not like she is some bastion of mental health stability.   She also compared one of them , Lu or Sonja, to her mom.  Hmmmmm....wonder how Brynn feels about YOUR mania, Bethenny???

See, you learn something every day. I have had gay friends since my teens (I am now in my early 60s) and had no idea about the term bear in relation to gay men. So then I did google the Bear Naked Chef, and came up with a website with a close up picture of a very hairy chest standing in a kitchen, over food. He is certainly as hairy as a bear - lol.

I was about to say something very similar- who is Barbara to complain about any home decor? I’d rather sleep in the fish room than anywhere in her Hamptons home. 

I can’t believe Tinsley is the show’s most grounded cast member this season, but she really is starting to be the Greek chorus. Her face when Barbara wanted to sit at the head of the table was everything. She couldn’t hide her disgust for the uncouth “interloper.”

It's real taxidermy, I believe all of the sea life she has on the walls are real (and likely vintage) taxidermy.  

I personally like the fish room. I just wish the paint was a deep blue instead the green, but I'd be happy to stay in the room! 

But I also collect taxidermy. I even keep specimens in my kitchen so I could not care less if it is in a guestroom - it's your house, your guest doesn't need to like your taste. Plus, I love dark and/or creepy decor, so I get that it's not for everyone, but it's totally my world. 😎

3 Moroccan room- Tinsley but then Luann

4 Light blue with hot pink benches- Sonja or Ramona

5 ??? theme - Sonja or Ramona

6 ??? theme- Tinsley

7 fish room - Barbara

But then Dorinda was saying she was short a bedroom, and was kind of hinting that people would have to share, so that's weird.  Plus, Sonja kept saying she was sleeping with Bethenny that night, so maybe one of the rooms was taken by production or is used by staff?

So, maybe it’s just me, but I think Dorinda taking the group to the Morgan summer cottage was just a not so subtle way of rubbing Sonjia’s nose in the shit reminder of all she had and lost. Drunk  or sober, Dorinda has a real nasty streak to pick on Sonjia. I see her as the weakest and most pathetic of them all. Plus, she really is the nicest of all the harridans. 

Sonja really lost me when she pulled her fraud stunts, but I do think Dorinda has been especially shitty to her.  She is back to being the Sonja from Scary Island, where she's generally (until the end of this episode), fun, light and social and keeps things moving.

Bethenny with “I need a tampon does anyone have one?” Seems to me she was implying of course not, you don’t need them anyone. Bethenny, honey, there will come a day when you don’t need them anymore either, or you don’t because, well, you’re not around to be crying or doing much of anything (I digress).

This didn't seem that weird to me, if you aren't someone who gets your period regularly, it can catch you off guard sometimes.  And there are times I forget things that I thought I had packed.  I travel fairly often, enough so that I keep a toiletry bag packed with a second set of everything I normally use. When I come home from a trip, I replace toothpaste, deodorant, etc if it needs to be replaced so I just have to grab the bag to go on the next trip.  Except somehow I've found myself with no facial cleanser on a trip, despite it always being in the bag, same with moisturizer (but on a different trip), etc.  Things happen.

The best part of this episode for me was when Sonja was at the Morgan house, and talking about how she had a historic Morgan house as well. When she talked about the huge responsibility of keeping this historic part of history up (paraphrasing here), then the editors cut to the scene of Sonja explaining that the sink is broken because she was having sex on it, and it pulled away from the wall, I lost it. This franchise either has the best editors, or they just have the best material to work with. 

Sonja claiming that her townhouse was the same as this old Morgan house was hysterical.

Why is Luann drinking "cranberry juice" out of a wineglass in the kitchen when everyone else was outside?  One minute she's got a mug of coffee or tea in her hand asking Art Smith about the garnishes, and the next minute there's a quick flash of her drinking a red liquid from a wineglass ...

Medicinal wine from a teaspoon . . .

And while we are in the subject of Dorinda, girl needs to set some boundries. She bends over backwards for these heifers and then snaps and turns vicious. It’s a Jekyll and Hyde transformation that just wears me out. 

SAME! I thought the exact same thing. 

I thought it was a low-key way to ruin Sonjas visit or try to kick her down a peg. I think Sonja got so drunk that night because she had some sadness after visiting that house and was trying to drink her feelings away. 

Dorinda hates when Sonja talks about her life as a Morgan, it honestly doesn't make any sense for her to plan a trip there.

Y'all remember how bringing up that she still got her period was Ramonas favorite thing to do?!! We couldn't go a single season without Ramona reminding us that she hadn't hit menopause yet. 🤣
