S11.E18: Reunion Part 1

[AnnA]

I like Dorinda's dress and Bethenny's outfit.

[bosawks]

You could argue that it’s nice that Dorinda thought at one time Lu had substance.

First communion, WTF Dorinda?

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Oh, God, SHUT UP, Dorinda. Own your actual bad behavior and stop deflecting. 

[Neurochick]

Dorinda, you're the only one who pisses on John, so STFU you drunken bitch.

You broke my heart!

Luann is Fredo

Nah, she survived the boat trip.

[Neurochick]

John wasn't Luann's problem, he's Dorinda's problem.  So once again, STFU Dorinda.

[QuinnM]

OMG, I’m sorry Luann’s text pretty much is Luann digging her own grave.

[bosawks]

Does this Lu and Dorinda fight just boil down to who is the most selfish and self-absorbed?

Because that’s gotta be a push.

[SweetieDarling]

Sonja is really enjoying Andy questioning Lu about her diva behavior!

[QuinnM]

Not sure why this is the Bethenny show.  It sure feels like the Luann show to me.

[eleanorofaquitaine]

Of course, you're "over" the Jovani thing, Dorinda. You won't admit that you were drunkenly heckling Lu and you've somehow made yourself the victim when you were the perpetrator. 

[QuinnM]

Ok, is everyone seeing the trailer for The Kitchen?  Take my money.

[Neurochick]

I don't get Dorinda at all.  She's upset because Luann pissed on "someone she loves" (I guess that's John), but earlier Dorinda said something like, "I see John twice a week..."  

[AnnA]

The reunion is all about listening to the HWs bitch and moan while Andy encourages them. So far we heard from Bethenny and Dorinda.   There are three reunion episodes so who's up next week?

[chewycandy]

I feel like Kelly Bensimon. “Are y’all going to make out?” 

[eleanorofaquitaine]

They are never going to be able to "move on" until Dorinda accepts responsibility for her behavior - and accept that she needs help with her drinking.

But yes, Lu's behavior re the fish room was bad, and I hope she genuinely understands that. 

[FlyingEgret]

Don't love Sonja's dress, but her hair and makeup are on point and she looks gorgeous!  Even with all the eye-rolling and looks of derision...

I think it'll go: Bethenny, Dorinda, Bethenny, Ramona, Bethenny, Luann, Bethenny, Sonja, Bethenny, Bethenny, Barbara, Bethenny, Dennis' Ghost, Bethenny, Tisnley, Bethenny.

They need to rename this show Bethenny and The Real Housewives of NYC. 

But whenever Bethenny had her name on the title of a show, it FLOPS - her spin off, the talk show, the real estate show with Fredrik Eklund.  And ratings for HW did not go down after she left - nor did they go up when she came back.

[Bronzedog]

Sonja’s sitting there thinking  of her next drink.

[Midnight Cheese]

Sonja’s already selling her polyester Reunion dress on Tradesy.

I’m not good enough to find the original link from AliExpress proving how corrupt and nonexistent her fashion brand really is...

[dosodog]

Was Tinsley yawning during the song! ?!!

 

[Straycat80]

I liked how everyone was trying so hard not to smirk while they were playing the Jovani song. Give everyone a prayer card Dorinda.

“Feeling Jovani” just makes me think you are having intestinal issues.

I think she was just having severe second hand embarrassment.  

Sonja cracked me up jamming out to Lu’s new song.  Her Sonja Morgan original dress is bad.  Such cheap looking material.  Oh, and putting tape on her face before they started.  Crazy ole Sonja. 

[Keywestclubkid]

Omg that whole first hour could have been condensed into 15min and not missed anything. 

[QuinnM]

Wow, is it just me or does and really not like Luann?  Every question he asks her is shade.  The previews have him asking if they think she can sing?  She can’t Andy.  Shut up.  You’re the one that encouraged these songs.

[nexxie]

What does everyone think of Lu’s singing? HA!

It still SUCKS!

I was legitimately shocked when I looked at the time and realized that the first part was already over.  We didn't even get anywhere!

[AnnA]

Ramona looked terrible.   Don't they have a hair stylist help them get ready?   I couldn't see much of her dress but it reminded me of one I saw her wearing in photos and thought was awful.

Tinsley wins part one by readily admitting she heckled. 

[BodhiGurl]

Ramona finally got herself some new teefers... suddenly this flashback came to mind...

 

[ancslove]

I don't understand how Luann couldn't see that her own texts, which she introduced, made her look so incredibly callous and arrogant.  She thought that would vindicate her?!  What planet does she inhabit?

And Dorinda is almost as bad.  After breaking down sobbing over how upset she was that Luann didn't invite John, why not just own the heckling.  She was pissed, she heckled.

Maybe it's payback for missing last year's reunion.

ETA:.  And because she asked for a $3.5 million salary.

Lu seems really desperate about that show of hers - like she’ll melt into a puddle on the floor if she can’t be on a stage somewhere, anywhere. Sad. 

[LibertarianSlut]

So...what I was watching from 9-9:30 was Bethenny as the only guest on WWHL again, spinning her her old bullshit at lightning speed.  I've heard all this info before, but I knew it wasn't a repeat, because there were five middle aged, very formally dressed...bartenders (?) I guess.  

I became so turned off that I actuallly lost interest and stopped listening for the first time ever.  This is pointless and disgusting.  I didn't know Dennis was a member of the cast.  He got significantly more attention tonight than Tinsley, Ramona, and Sonja combined.  I guess that's an improvement over Dennis and the phone call from his phantom daughter getting more attention at the season 8 reunion than Jules did over her entire tenure on the show. I am so sick of fucking Dennis (RIP.  It's not his fault that Andy converted an ensemble show about women to a talk show with Dennis's ex-"person" giving us her side of his every fucking movement and thought as it pertained to her, but I repeat myself).

Oh, now we've got the host reading texts from 2017 because Luann was too drunk to show up to the season 10 reunion?  The hug between Luann and Dorinda looked so ridiculous.  There is very little that doesn't look ridiculous when grown women spend a day decked out in full hair, makeup and dress to hash out their petty grievances sitting in a semi-circle with a man who hates all but one of them reading off que cards.  Maybe it's me, but this reunion seems so much more melodramatic and silly than any other.  Andy Cohen and Bethenny just suck the air out of the room and make everything feel sordid.  Luann cannot even answer one question without Bethenny jumping in and making it all about Dennis and Bethenny.  Fuck off, Bravo for allowing her to hijack this entire ordeal. This "reunion" gives bullshit a bad name.

Right now I'm "Feelin So Sorry" that I even turned this on.  The only one I am rooting for is silence.  

[breezy424]

You guys are on fire.  By the time, I've gotten here I can only add the 27th shut up Beth.  She going a hundred miles an hour about herself.  And sorry Beth, Scott appearing on the show a couple of times doesn't mean he wants to be a regular so you're not right to make that argument.

Yeah Lu.  You justify your horrible behavior by constantly saying you were dealing with your own 'stuff'.  No excuse.

Why do we have to see Beth's reaction to 'everything'? 

Tin's reactions for the most part (when we actually got to see them) was mostly annoyed.  I wanted to sit next to her.  Good for her that she admitted she heckled.  As someone else said, she won the night.

Tinsley’s dress ugh. I don’t like that pleated bodice look. And those huge earrings. Luann has too much going on with the necklace, earrings and barrette. Bethenny’s face does look pretty pinched up. Ramona got new teeth lol. Not digging the Sonja original dress on Sonja. 

Very, very tacky!  I guess she didn't research the Aliexpress website enough to find out that dress is 100% shiny polyester satin.  

When she commented that it was Sonja by Sonja Morgan, and costs $106.00, all I could think of was when Sonja bad-mouthed Luann's Evine clothing line with that "Your clothes are for the masses, not the classes" bullshit.  How the mighty have fallen!!  (And, Sonja's dress tonight is right up there with the horrible royal blue foil-looking crap that Luann wore a few years ago to the reunion.)

It reminded me of that dress too!

Wouldn't it be hysterical if Sonja is selling the remains of The Countess Collection on her site, with her name on them?

[rustyspigot]

I'm sure Dorinda has a storage unit full of communion prayer cards. It seemed she was more upset about the prayer card than John.

Lu has ALWAYS been a delusional asshole. I guess they were just pissed she started getting rewarded for it.

Bethenny did quite the jig around her ex-boyfriend/ex-fiancee/fiancee Dennis. Maybe ghost Dennis was pulling on Bethenny trying to get that "I.O.U an answer" engagement ring off her finger.

Well, we'd all know the Countess Collection dresses because they would either be one-shoulder, or short sleeved with the cold shoulder cut out.  

[MBJ]

Bethenny actually expressed that she was glad that Dennis died because now she can be free of him and a better person with a clearer future.  I swear.  I am not making this up.  She said all of this.

Andy is still so far up Bethenny's ass I don't care what anyone says.  He introduces her last like it's 5 other bands opening for fucking Elvis fucking Presley and she interrupts fucking EVERYONE WHEN THE TOPIC HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER

The cast's reactions to "Feeling Jovani" were H Y S T E R I C A L 

I like how everyone looks at the reunion EXCEPT Bethenny.  Everyone looks great except Sonja's had way too much work done on her face.  It's like she doesn't realize she is actually so gorgeous.  Andy was fucking mean saying "Ramona please tell everyone you got your teeth done."  Andy is a piece of shit and I will never change my mind. FUCK him.

Maybe Bethenny is a fan of the movie Clue. Mrs. White: It's a matter of life after death, now that he's dead I have a life.

Why does Bethenny think the SkinnyGirl brand is going to expand? Those stupid jeans? SELL!

[FairyDusted]

I still want to know about that janky kitchen in Lu's guest room! 

I Love NY! Even if I have to watch it 4 times to get it straight.
