This speech is so awkward and embarrassing, these women should not drink if they are going to do an event as serious as this. And then talking while that young girl was giving her speech. Unreal!

This legit got me upset. B spent three hours at that party!

[ghoulina]

The most shocking thing about Barbara's costume? Those abs! She definitely has a better body than Ramona. 

Lu's behavior Halloween night was so typical. She holds court in her "dressing room", doesn't greet guests, delays her two-song performance...and then gets all pissed when people aren't still waiting around for her. 

Yea, LuAnn is a mom too. But clearly not an involved one. If she had any sense she'd realize that parents don't need to be home at a certain time to stare at their sleeping kids; they have to relieve the babysitter!!!

She's just so self involved. 

Dorinda is a girl after my own heart. I just want to be left alone. (Says the married mother of three.)

I LOVE the idea of this charity aimed at ending statute of limitations, but that was one unprofessional event. I literally had to look away when they all started talking over each other. 

Ramona is another piece of work. "No, you're not invited to my party, but please feel free to throw me one of your own. 

I see the editors were having their fun again this week - making sure we saw that it was, in fact, Ramona who left Sonja off the guest list. She's such a snob. I wish the entire cast would band together to ice her out.

I hope they flashback each week to the Night of A Thousand Ramona Lies event to incriminate Ramona on something new.

It nice of Tinsley to go back to volunteering so she can land herself a new man. As one does.  Oh and that charity shit aspect too.

[Kiki777]

I like Barb a little now for dressing as Slash.  (I was Slash one Halloween, didn't even need a wig for it lol)

I always have secondhand embarrassment for the HWs when they have to pretend to enjoy 'Money Can't Buy You Class' for the 583rd time.

Tinsley needs to move and not tell her mom the new address.  And girl put some lotion on you got old lady hands.

[Keywestclubkid]

Omg the absolute irony of Luanne in the preview telling Sonja your in my house watch it when she was just in Dorindas house talking shit about the house dogging Dorinda demanding things and she’s gonna lecture someone to watch it in her house?? 

[TomGirl]

As one who has heartily disliked everything about Hannah in the past, I have to say I thought she looked very attractive tonight and seemed like a nice young woman.

 As far as looks go, I think most of these women can pull themselves together and look very nice when the occasion calls for it, but I think Sonja is the most naturally beautiful one of the group.

The speech at the charity event was so embarrassing. Ramona, Sonja and Dorinda all talking over and correcting each other was cringe worthy, when the only one who should have been speaking at any length was Bridie, Ramona and her self praise about picking the venue, the auction items, etc and how she's so proud of herself. Why couldn't she talk about how much was raised through the generosity of her friends and what that will go toward? The event wasn't about you, simpleton.

Loved the producer shade by showing - twice!- that Ramona's friend, Lucia, offered to invite Sonja to Ramona's birthday. Caught again, Ramona!

I thought Barbara's Slash costume was great! She looked awesome!

I hate to be kept waiting.  I would have been out of that party.  Sorry Lu.

I found it hard to pay attention this episode.  Too much fast talking?  I don't know.

Doris, please!  It's not about you.  Geez.  Stop interrupting Ro's lame speech.

[Duke2801]

Ooof both the Halloween party and the charity event were different levels of cringe for me. Nobody really looked like they wanted to be at either of them. I agree that Barbara’s costume/abs were the most interesting thing about either event because damn. Those wrap dresses actually weren’t doing them justice. 

Yeah Lu has no concept of “relieving a sitter” because she had live-in Rosie to raise—ooops I mean watch—her kids when she went off galavanting in their younger years.

Yeah that “speech” was 50 shades of yikes. What’s sad is that I don’t even think they were drunk! At least Dorinda didn’t have her telltale slurring, so I don’t think she was. Harder to tell with Ramona.

[Stats Queen]

Dorinda’s talking over Ramona and interrupting her was awful. But then to talk over Bridie was just despicable.

Remember when a young Noel wanted his mom to stay home, but Luann couldn't be bothered.  Remember when their housekeeper talked about parents who let others raise their children.  Remember when Ramona called Luann a weekend mom.

Lu had a nanny/au pair for the entirety of her kids' formative years and beyond.  Though Bethenny stated that she "had to let the babysitter go" or something like that, it would surprise me that she doesn't have a live-in nanny.  Maybe that would look bad for the custody litigation.

That speech was so cringey I had to FF. Oof!

The nerve of Ramona to suggest everyone throw her 61 plus year old ass a party!

Tinsley’s mom’s face is like a jigsaw puzzle, it has been re-assembled but the pieces are not clicked all the way back together. It does not line up. 

Luann’s show sucks. And I wouldn’t stay up past 8pm for it !

Dorinda has another shitty apartment . Her Berkshires home has such style & life, I continue to be surprised that her NYC home is so blah.

[Ms Blue Jay]

At least Ramona was trying.  And didn't she create the event on behalf of Bridie?  I thought that Sonja was acting really disgusting.  She tried to pull attention from Ramona immediately when she started speaking and mocked her for at least two different reasons.  Ramona didn't say anything back, she was basically like stop talking.

Dorinda was drunk and slurring, yes.  And that's why she kept interrupting and being a moron through the speech.

I think I expect more from Sonja - she seems the most coherent of the three - and that's why I thought her behaviour was just so atrocious. She was mocking the whole thing.

This surprised me, too! Dorinda mentioned she moved into a townhouse when she married Richard, and the moved back after he passed. If Richard was so wealthy and loved Dorinda so much, why did she have to leave the town house to go back to her shabby digs? If the townhouse was full of bad memories from his illness, why didn’t she move into something comparable to the townhome or have the money back then to redecorate that drab apartment? And while Blue Stone Manor is  a beautiful home, the decor seems more Rooms To Go than Architectural Digest.  It doesn’t really add up for me.

What am I missing?

[hoodooznoodooz]

I know Ben is talented and successful, and I respect that. But his conversation with Frankel made me wonder. He didn’t seem too concerned that that environment was not conducive to sobriety. If Lu relapses again, they have to cancel shows. But when she returns, is there a spike in ticket sales? Are people buying tickets because, well, who doesn’t love a trainwreck in a sequin dress?

eta: I guess I am thinking, he might not really have her best interests in mind.

The sad...

Luanne taking herself so seriously and sounding so very not good...not bad...just not good

The sadder...

So many old people in so little clothing....

The saddest...

John's passive aggressive, oh so "subtle" , constant stream of "please let me live with you" hinting and Dorinda having not even a little of it....pathetic and hard to watch

Sadness runner up...

Ramona thinking her "young" fame vampires are attaching themselves to her because she's so hip and youthful...

Other comments...

- I give Bethenny credit for hanging as long as she did at that party but does anyone believe she doesn't have live in help?  C'mon...now that doesn't mean she won't be up early with Bryn and is tired, she just doesn't need to "relieve the babysitter" 

- I still have no idea how to pronounce the charity lady's name....

I think Bethenny does have a nanny when she has Brynn, but Brynn is younger than Lu's kids were at that time.  Even with a live in nanny/au pair, they only work so many hours per day (remember Camille Grammar's 4 nannies? that was because they had to have multiple nannies with them when they traveled, since one nanny couldn't be on duty 24/7 the entire trip).  Google tells me a full-time nanny works 40-55 hours per week, between 8-12 hours a day.  If Brynn potentially needed before school care, that same nanny wouldn't be able to be working that night until 11 pm.  So I could see needing a babysitter.  It was also a Wednesday, so it's possible Bethenny may not have anyone during the week unless she's traveling, etc.

I can only give Ramona so much credit for trying given that she couldn't bother to remember how to pronounce Bridie's name.  That seems like such a basic thing to get right.

I kind of don't blame Ramona.  It probably gets a little embarrassing when she's shoving food into her purse at events.

[Haute Messe]

Those mug shot coasters make me want to get arrested so I can have a set made.

Ramona, your modesty is overwhelming.  The younguns might find you entertaining as comic relief, not because you look so fabulous for your age. She did look like a smitten teenager around Harry though, and her desperation and bullshitting (about her birthday, etc.) are at pathetic levels.

It doesn't sound like John is getting much action with Dorinda. Not that I would blame her for not wanting to touch him. No wonder he was slobbering all over Beth and Tins at Lu's event.

Hannah really bugs me. She seems like she is amped up on speed the way she interrupts and jumps around. But on second thought maybe the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Dorinda and Sonja both looked great at Ramona's charity event, but they were both way out of line inserting themselves in that inarticulate speech that Ramona was trying to deliver. It was not the time or place to humiliate her even if she does have it coming.

As for Ramona, she is such an awful person. Just when I think she can't get any worse, she sinks even lower in the next episode...and then next, and the next. I'm so glad the producers are showing the scenes to call her out on what a rotten liar she is.

She's just disgusting. I doubt she would have any true friends at all if she wasn't on tv. And I'm so over her always mentioning "how young" she looks. She doesn't look as young as she thinks. She looks like an older woman to me...maybe a few years younger than her real age, but I don't get the big deal. She acts like she looks like she's in her 30's or something. And I don't even think it's that amazing since I'm sure she's had some type of work done to her face. I wish she would get over herself, but that will never happen. She'll be tootin her own horn til the bitter end. Ugghh.

It was painful watching the two of them. I’m confused did she create a non profit charity by renting a venue getting prizes for bidding for 120 people? I didn’t hear that little fact when she was bragging at all she did. You have to have legit federal tax ID  . She just referred to “a charity.”

 I volunteer at a non profit that started out grass roots 7 years ago that give sweats ,flip  flops and underwear to sexual abuse victims that have their clothes taken for evidence at the hospital.   Women children and men.  She’s full of bull shit and should have given money  to an established sexual abuse charity and not exposed that poor girl to these ridiculous women.  Doris was interrupting the girl to tell how important that her molester was outed. I got news woman even when they have police involved and an exam it’s many times difficult to get the victims  to follow up.

Luann's inability to get the humor in the mugshot coasters tells me she doesn't really understand camp or the camp appeal of her cabaret show. Camp was the theme of this year's Met Gala. People aren't going to the Countess and Friends because Luann is a great or even decent singer and dancer; they are going because this is a well produced debacle. She can't sing. She can't dance. She's not even really capable of being fun and funny on her own. She's selfish and awful. She's got 3 songs. She makes her little Amy Winehouse "they tried to make me go to rehab" joke. She talks shit about Ramona, Heather, and Carole in the show. She's a scorpion in a top hat doing a kick line to "I Gotta Be Me."

Luann is an unbelievably shit mother. There is not only previous footage of Luann not giving a single fuck about her children, but also at the time she made her snatchy dig about Bethenny watching Bryn sleep Luann's children were still suing her for something she had legally obligated herself to doing and was in the process of reneging on for a third time (when she sold the first home, bought the second home, and was trying to sell the second home).

I cannot even fathom the catastrophe that was the sexually abused children charity speech. Those 3 drunken fuckwits. Ugh. No fucking words. 

[Kiki777]

I'm curious- who are these people that Ramona is social climbing to?  I imagine people in high(er) society would be horrified at her complete lack of manners.  Do they roll their eyes behind her back and see her as pathetic?  I hope so.

re: Tinsley's hands.  I initially noticed it last week during the circus freak-out.  She kept putting her hands to her face and... Yikes. Now I can't unsee it.  It was jarring because on her face she has great skin and you can tell she really takes care of it.

Sure, maybe, but color me surprised that there wasn’t more cash to go around for the much adored Dorinda to have more luxurious digs. 

As for John, from her debut on the show, Dorinda’s body language around him has always indicated to me that she finds John vaguely repellant. Dorinda had never come off as being in love with John. Rather, she only seems to endure his presence as one endures something unpleasant. But Dorinda seems to be a woman who needs a man, so she keeps John around until something better comes around.

The only problem is that Dorinda can’t seem to snag someone better, and it drives her to drink to excess and be an angry, mean drunk. I think it makes  her crazy that she went from master of the universe Richard to a fat, sweaty, uncouth dry cleaner.

Doris is having a hard tine accepting that most people only hit the lottery once, and that she is just not fabulous enough to do it twice. 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Dorinda's presumption that she is somehow scary enough to order people to "never so that to me again" when they call her out on bad behavior works my last nerve. She's done that more than once and I am not sure what she thinks is so threatening about that statement. It's like she thinks she's in the mob.

All three women - Dorinda, Ramona and Sonja - behaved so badly with that speech but to me, Dorinda was the most egregious because first she interrupted Bridie and then she threatened Ramona. She is IMO a deeply troubled person.
