S11.E12: Luann Land

[OnceSane]

Quote

The women dine out with Ramona at the same place where she mourned her mother's passing; Luann takes Sonja, Tinsley and Barbara out on the town for a night of cabaret; Bethenny and Ramona have a heart to heart about their abusive upbringings.

Airs May 22, 2019.

Woo Hoo it's Turtle Time

[ShawnaLanne]

Luann didn't even bother to find out that the rest of the women were there. She is pissed that Bethenny left because B gets more camera time.

[Neurochick]

Is Bethenny upset that someone else thinks "ME ME ME."  Doesn't Luann know that only Bethenny can think "ME ME ME?"

How many times will Bethenny mention Dennis?

And who is this new man Bethenny's with?  I thought Dennis was the love of her life?

I am glad you came and sorry you missed me? OMG, the most narc thing a narc has ever said. Lol.

[Steph J]

Even by the standards of reality show participants it's amazing how far up her own ass Luann has managed to get.

[Neurochick]

Luann, who do you think you are to offend BetheME?"

Amen Neurochick!  I can't believe anyone in that scene didn't burst out in laughter that the most narcissistic one on the cast is lecturing someone about "me, me, me."

[nexxie]

Apparently Bethenny doesn’t realize that she’s as full of herself as Lu - these two deserve each other.

Dorinda was a riot making fun of Lu! 

[Keywestclubkid]

Omg that was so freaking exhausting to watch 

[whydoievencare]

Luann really never listens to what anyone else is saying - she only goes back to the talking points she wants to stick with and has real difficulty acknowledging the other person at all.  I remember her being outside on the stairs with Jules (at the Berkshires maybe?) and Jules was upset about her dad being ill and I don't think Luann even responded before beginning to speak about herself.  I think she may actually be the most self involved of all the housewives on any of the franchises.

[Gem 10]

Why is Beth wearing that hat in the house?  It’s distracting.

[Keywestclubkid]

Sonja doing her best 80s working girl inspired hair lol 

[Gem 10]

Albi, Bethenny’s driver, drove them up. Where does he go while they are in the house and then the hotel?  To another hotel, I guess?  Stupid question, but was he waiting in the car the whole time they all were in the house?

[pieinmyeye]

Why did Romona feel like she had to give the waiter the entire story on why she is thirsty? Good grief!

[Straycat80]

Ramona looks younger now than she did in 2009. Good plastic surgeon.

Oh, didn't you hear?  It's "Ageless by Ramona."

Totally skin care, not surgery at all.

[Keywestclubkid]

Awww that is kinda sad that Sonja really did think she was doing good hair and the girls would love it and they make fun of her. She looked kinda crushed. She is totally in her own little gray gardens world  just seeking affirmation and acceptance. She can be a super easy target cause she is so out there Wakadoo sometimes. it’s like you just wanna pick her up and be like it all will be ok.. I get it now

I gotta agree with Dorinda, Sonja looks like she did indeed stick her finger in an electrical socket. That hair! 

[ShawnaLanne]

Tins is being really snarky on this ep!

I can’t tell if Sonja does this crazy stuff seriously, or if she’s always performing - the way she does on stage when she gets a chance.

[Steph J]

Bethenny "I was raised by wolves" Frankel probably shouldn't criticize anyone else for using their upbringing as an excuse for their behavior as an adult.

[Keywestclubkid]

Was that sideshow bob?

[Straycat80]

Moaner, Dorinda and B. should have gone to the gay bar with the rest of the ladies. What a depressing conversation.

Somehow she got guilted into going to the cabaret show instead of drinking with the other ladies staying in the hotel.  She’s probably scarred.

Oh good, now she and Ramona are having “our parents suck” bonding.

[Neurochick]

Not really single mothers, Bethenny, Dorinda is a widow.  

[KungFuBunny]

Bad editing..Bethenny...ponytail, no ponytail...ponytail...hair down.

[Straycat80]

Lol at Tins, best version I ever heard. Margarita = Luann in the future.

I wouldn't want to hang with those others ladies, what a depressing conversation, of course led by BetheME.

And BetheME, stop with the Beyonce lyrics.

Margarita is the Ghost of Cabaret Yet to Come.

Tinsley we all agree with you none of us want to ever hear that song again 

[bosawks]

Is it me or do Babs and the unibomber make a cute couple?

Dorinda's first husband is the father of her daughter, not the one who died.

Is this the Luann show once again?  It seems that way.  Enough already.  Cabaret, Cabaret, Cabaret.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

I'm sorry, I can't believe that Tinsley and Sonja are defending Dorinda's behavior at the charity event. Ramona is ridiculous but Dorinda WAS interrupting both Ramona and Bridie, and it was rude. 

[Keywestclubkid]

I feel like they were fighting about 2 different things in that fight and didn’t realize they were mixing them up. Like one fight was not sitting at the table at the gala and the other was cutting her off during her speech lol and they kept dipping in between them it was like what was this fight even about to begin with.

A hell of a lot more than when they when he was alive and they were dating! 

[ghoulina]

Dennis was right. It does change so fast. I can scarcely keep up with who is mad at whom.

Despite their touching bonding session the night before, I do tend to think of Ramona as a bad friend. It was super shitty that she didn't invite Sonja, at least, to her birthday. Editing showed her being consulted about the invites. So quit lying. 

I mean, she can invite Sonja in the bathroom while she poops, but not to her dinner party? But here, everyone, you can at least enjoy these second hand flowers. 

Also, Tinsley is right - no matter what you think of Lu's town, you don't slam it to her. 

That being said, I'd have bailed on the cabaret outing too. It had been a long day of driving. Why go out to Kingston if you're staying in another town 20 minutes away? Especially to hear THAT. I didn't think I could hate "Money Can't Buy You Class" more. Turns out I can. I'd rather be sobbing at the Terrapin. 

Overall, this place is no Berkshires. It never will be. Can't host everyone on site, Lu is sober (so she says). The bonding just isn't the same.

I'm pretty sure that Sideshow Bob is in reference to the guy with the big curly hair 😂😂😂

And what is Sideshow Bob talented at?  Murdering?  😂

[Thumper]

I appreciated the Ramona/Beth realization that they had both had similar dysfunctional upbringings.  Felt especially bad for Ramona, as I hadn't heard her story before.  Wish the others had been there to witness this -- maybe they would be less snotty.

[Ms Blue Jay]

God , Sonja is such an asshole.  There are times when it's appropriate to shut up and has she ever?  Has Sonja ever not chimed in?  

Luann and Dorinda look gorgeous.  Sorry to say it!!  Luann looks amazing this episode.  I love the longer hair.  I love their grey sweaters.

All I saw in that opening klatch was Barb's orange stomach sagging out of her crop top. Like her shirt, she is not a fit in this cast.

Neither is Luanns house. I hate it. Luann is trying to make a thing something happen here with her new beginnings and it just ain't happenin'.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone who needs a head-to-toe makeover more than Barb.

BetheMe is the last housewife that should be accusing someone else of being all about "ME."

Has she met BetheMe?

[Ms Blue Jay]

I know Ramona is bad / crazy whatever, but man she puts up with a lot.  Dorinda mocking her and everyone else laughing at her, it's just nasty.  Dorinda could have spoken to her in private.  At least Bethenny had the good sense to stay out of it.

Dorinda gets nasty, nasty.  Out of nowhere.  Ramona made some facial expressions, so what?  Dorinda takes things way too personally. And Sonja, the most fucking spineless jellyfish in all of the sea, immediately kowtows to Dorinda and starts agreeing with her.  Makes me sick.

Whatever people think of Luanne she does put out a great spread of food.  That was Lovely breakfast.
