S06.E16: Go Yell It On The Mountain

[LotusFlower]

First Look: More complaining from the ladies about being in "boring" Montana, esp. Ramona. Except we do see the return of her roller bang! They go fly fishing, and it's a lot of city girls out of their element, etc... Then more complaining from Ramona. Again. About Kristen as a host. And Montana. Again.

One good thing, though: Aviva was once again out of the line-up. I'm convinced the producers hate her, and she is so fired.

[Lola16]

I just want to see the lonesome leg.

[RedheadZombie]

When Carole is lounging at the kitchen table in her lingerie, I couldn't help but notice her boobs hanging to her elbows. She and Kristen really need to be fitted properly for bras and then invest in a few.

[walnutqueen]

Because it cannot be said often enough: "Shut the fuck up, Ramona". 

[ryebread]

How has the Love Rat tolerated her for this long?  How? 

[zoeysmom]

I am enjoying the part where the ranch hand shows up and Sonja is fussing in the refrigerator and Carole asks that some of the lettuce be removed.  Priceless.

And of course Sonja had to let the young cowhand know she was pantiless. I thought it was funny when he said he stand way back.

Why was there so much food in the fridge? Were the ladies fending for themselves? All that food for 3 thin women? Poor Ramona and Sonja......having to look at unmade beds and making their own salads with prewashed lettuce.

I always wonder the same thing. I also wonder if her non-stop blinking tic stops when they are having sex.

I looked up the rates for Paws Up (sorry, but that's sounds more like boarding kennel for dogs than a resort dude ranch) and it's quite steep. I couldn't remember the exact cabins the HW were in, but the rate are around $750-900/person nightly. Ouch. I know the ho-wives didn't pay, yet at those prices I would expect excellent personal service too, regardless of it being a dude ranch. And that doesn't cover all excursions or the spa. So even with spending anywhere from $5250-$6300 per person (that's not even for a couple) for one week, that price would not include a massage. Wow

The nightly rate also included all meals. So I'm still wondering about all that food, unless the women specifically asked for certain things. The breakfast was obviously brought to them, hence Ramona's bitching.........again.

Geez Ramona, give it a rest.

[Lola16]

The Beaver?  I think that was one cabin.

[LilaFowler]

The latest First Look mini episode was really boring. 

[Chit Chat]

I find it sad that Ramona and Sonja can't appreciate anything to do with the beauty of this country.  Their main concern in life is finding the nearest bar, getting drunk and getting laid. They look down on others who find contentment with a slower paced life and those who enjoy the outdoors.  I don't appreciate their snootiness about it either. Sonja really seems scattered this season.  She really needs some help.

[Grneyedldy]

Haha how could I forget that? I looked again and they don't list them by name.

I'm thinking all the food may have been for the production crew.

Why wouldn't the production people keep their food in their own cabin?

Well I don't know, man!  I'm just guessing.  But maybe it's like having craft services right there since that's where they're filming.  That's kind of typical production stuff, you know, have snacks around all day on set for the crew.  The set in this case being the ladies' cabin.

Haha I don't know why little things like that bother me.

[Tara Ariano]

A Montana trip continues with tensions lingering between Sonja and LuAnn. Meanwhile, the ladies participate in outdoor activities and a modern-day treasure hunt, but the group divides thanks to a tiff between Heather and Kristen.

[chlban]

So, after tonight Carole will be the only other HW Kristen had not battled with?  Yes indeedy, Brandi the skank has taught her well.

[Mozelle]

Oh my goodness! Ramona and that curler!

[Almost 3000]

That curler has become a "friend of the housewives" and quite an amusing sidekick for Ramona. I actually do the same trick so I can't rag on her to much but at least I don't do it on camera.

[CousinAmy]

We're not supposed to know that there is a production crew around. Although we can be sure that Ramona had some help getting that A/C to Heather's vacation house, it's breaking the fourth wall to admit to it.

I agree there are many beautiful vistas in this country but watching someone view them is not really good TV for me.  I watch the Travel channel and the like for stunning views-the views seem almost soiled with this cast in the foreground.

Yeah, but we do know there's a crew.  What's wrong with guessing the crew is using the fridge?  Oh, you're saying it's a set so they wouldn't keep any food for the crew in there?  ... whatevs.  I think I'm over this question!

Hee! I totally get it. My one hair "tick," if you will, is to sometimes twist the front sections of my hair if I don't want to twist the whole thing (I wear my hair naturally). That way when I'm ready to leave my apartment in a few hours, the front looks nice and fresh. It's just that Ramona's curler is, like you say, the new "friend of the housewives."

I'm so glad the People's Couch is coming on after the episode. It just feels like an after show to me. It was weird having it start before the episode last week.

[QuinnM]

ROL is reporting that Avivas pervert and his girlfriend are getting a spin off. Ack, I just can't.

[Sheenieb]

I'm kind of over Kristin. I hate when people dismiss other people's feelings. If Luann is pissed about what the runteldat facialist said, let her be mad! Stop with that "it was funny" bullshit. It's funny because it's not about Kristin. But I guess if there was gossip about Josh running around with other women, she wouldn't be so quick to ki-ki about that.

 

Carol, what the hell was that outfit? Pepto Bismol couture? I'm unable to can with such hideousness.

[Gracie]

Cowboy Paul, THANK YOU for telling Sonya to knock off the cousin/girlfriend comments.  As a Southerner, that gets so old and no, you're not original.  Trust me, we've heard it all.

See? It's not funny just because you think it is Sonja. It's starting to approach creepy Aviva dad territory.

And Ramoana is so negative about absolutely everything. If I was married to her I would be looking for someone new as well.

I didn't think that Kristen was dismissing Luann's feelings so much as she was trying to show Luann that it wasn't anything to get upset about. Kristen kept saying "if it's not true, then it's funny." 

 

I don't know. I  just watched Bad Girls Club - so my judgement is impaired.

[Chicklet]

I'm voting that they have this big spinner at Bravo Central and when it's done and points to a housewife, the powers that be decide that's the one who has to start all the arguments for that week.

[felicity porter]

I felt really bad for Kristen.  These women complained nonstop during the trip. I don't blame her for finally cracking, I just wish it hadn't been to Heather. 

 

Heather was pretty rude, though.

[phoenix780]

Holy shit there's going to be one more episode in Montana?  Who was the genius who decided to have 5-6 episodes of the NEW YORK housewives in the fucking woods?  Jeez.

 

Heather is bossy.  I thought she knew that and it was part of her thing.  Or rather, her thang, yo.  Fo' sho'.  Who knew the difference between her and Ramona was a few beers.

 

That's all I got. This was giving me Real World/Road Rules Challenge flashbacks.  I miss that show.  Classic-style, with Veronica and Julie and Coral.

[Lakewood27]

Ugh, Sonja. Her behaviour is so gross this season, she's actually making me side with the Countess of all people! Day drunk is not a good colour on Lady Morgan.

Carol's wardrobe is um... Eclectic? That 1950s pink evening gown? With pigtails? Oy.

I'm officially over Kristen and her bullshit.

Did not need to see or hear the ladies wizzing in the bushes.

No wonder Ramona is hot all the time. She's wearing a leather coat and riding boots in the dead of summer.

The geo-cashing looked hella boring and stupid. I'd rather drink a few beers and relax.

[MatildaMoody]

Montana is part of the South? I apologize for being backwards, but I always considered Montana a part of the West. Just so you know, I am (to use housewives speak) born and raised in the South (born in Birmingham, raised in Mobile, Alabama).

Seriously, I always thought that Montana was South West or just the West. I'm fine if nothing I say is ever taken seriously again after this.

[mbaywife123]

Still in Montana, but I would love a trip there. My thoughts on this episode:

Ramona, STFU! Maybe if you are bored, you are the boring one.

SonJa is lost in space as usual.

Heather, buzzed but still having fun.

Carole,what the holy hell was that hiking outfit?

Kristen, calm down!

LuAnn,keep to together, you are doing well so far this season.

Aviva who?

[Stinger97]

While I understand LuAnn's irritation over the comments the facialist made, I also feel like Sonja wasn't really wrong. She asked the woman what was being said about them around town, and the woman shared what she'd heard. How was Sonja supposed to throw her out of the house after that? That said, Kristen's "It was funny!" was totally because the comments weren't about her. I've no doubt that she would have been hella offended if the facialist was talking about how she's a dominatrix with a French fetish. 

 

I generally like Carole and think she's typically one of the more sane women in the group, but that pink monstrosity to go hiking was plain strange.

[Jack Terrier]

Damn heather, you are bossy! Just admit it and move on. It looks like the fight between Kristen and heather heats up next week at the table. Heathers voice is starting to crack as she tells Kristen to back down.

I just can't with Carole's outfits. Trying way too damn hard.

I should have been clearer.  It is part of the west, but when someone considers some place "backwoods" they seem to automatically go for either the inbred or Deliverance jokes.

 

That's what I meant. 

 

Actually, it made much more sense in my head.  I'm going to go hide now.

[Ratched]

Sooooo fucking tired of Sonja and all her sex references, double entendres and constant pawing of virtually any male, regardless of age. It's not cute when George does it, and it's not cute when she does. Enough! I haven't been a 12 year old boy who would find that either sexy or funny since....Never. I'm a woman. So I would never have found that sexy, funny or cute. If I ever do, it's time to place me in a locked unit. (And I am FAR from being a prude.)

As someone who was born and raised in Alabama and who lives her adult life in Georgia, I know EXACTLY what you mean. The Deliverance jokes come from the North Georgia stereotypes.

 

Since I'm from Alabama, I have had to deal with many many inbred jokes. So, don't hide yourself. Instead, you should represent just how awesome you are.

[Midnight Cheese]

LuAnn is finally done with Gonzo-lookalike (hey!  I just found a way for her to make money without being on her knees!) Sonja Morgan, and Sonja wastes her own blog lying, including the priceless phrase, "my reputation precedes me;" that it does.  She again delights in repeating the gossip in the blog, saying LuAnn is taller than Jacques, and on and on.  She is a bitch.  This episode finally made totally clear that Sonja is hating on LuAnn because LuAnn did not destroy her own life after divorce, and Sonja did.  She's a dirty, pathetic, mean-spirited lying liar and harasser.  Not surprising that she's dead to her ex and that Harry apparently jumps into a cab with LuAnn towards the end of the season instead of always-second-choice Sonja.  Who wouldn't?

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I love this! You must read Awesomely Luvvie's blog. That's, like, my go-to phrase when I'm, you know, unable to can. 

[HunterHunted]

Ramona is a great hostess when planning Ramona things: day drinking, night drinking, satin dresses, the Hamptons, air conditioning, swimming without getting your hair wet, shit stirring, and spa treatments. Everything else she's crap at. She was being such a bratty shit about the entire trip. Kristen should have just given her one of those hats with drinking straws and some pinot. Maybe Ramona would have shut up then.

Heather is bossy and was drunk.

My gaaawwwd. What was she wearing. That pink thing was so awful that it managed to sober me up.

[rustyspigot]

It was pretty clear Sonja is the jealous one with the whole Luann thing.

 

Thank the turtle time Gods Aviva didn't go.

 

So is it Kristen or Kristin? Time Warner says Kristen.

 

I loved the snark the guys at the place threw at the ladies.

[Miss February]

I really like Carole.  She's fun and easy-going and she seems to generally have goodwill toward people rather than criticizing them.  (I exempt all interactions with Aviva or Aviva's father when opining about anyone's character.)

 

I thought Heather was being friendly and helpful, not bossy.  She's athletic and driven, but doesn't act competitive or seem critical of others' abilities.  I'd like to have someone like her along for outdoor vacations.

[howiveaddict]

Why was Ramona wearing a leather jacket, scarf and hat when they were out in the woods.  Everyone else had tank tops on.  No wonder she's hot all the time.  Yikes with that ball gown thing that Carole had on.   When they said they were going to be geocaching, I knew they would not get into it.  Those women are not the geocaching type.  They must have run out of on site activities for the ladies to do. 

Also, when Sonja was complaining that she wanted to go eat where the A lists eat while there, that maybe no high class restaurants would let them film there. Can you imagine her around any a list movie stars?  She'd probably  be trying to scam another production deal while trying to sleep with them.

[CousinAmy]

Of course Kristen didn't really plan the trip. It was Bravo-produced all the way. Really, the women would choose to go fly fishing in those huge waders? And would decide to rappel down a mountain cliff? It was all a set-up arranged to create as much drama as possible. 

 

So Kristen shouldn't complain that the women were complaining so much. Bravo never wanted the Housewives to get too comfortable. 

 

And massages on a rustic setting? It's a wonder they didn't arrange mani-pedis after geocaching. Or may we'll see next week if they do. 

[Sheenieb]

 

I didn't think that Kristen was dismissing Luann's feelings so much as she was trying to show Luann that it wasn't anything to get upset about. Kristen kept saying "if it's not true, then it's funny."

 

See, I think that is dismissive. Who's Kristen to tell Luann how to feel? It's easy to sit back and say it's funny when the gossip isn't about you.  If Kristen would've said, " Luann, I understand your anger, but in the words of Flava Flav, 'if it don't apply, let it fly.'" then I wouldn't have been as annoyed with her.  She would've acknowledged how Luann felt, and told her to try not to get so worked up about it at the same time.

 

 

'm kind of over Kristin. I hate when people dismiss other people's feelings. If Luann is pissed about what the runteldat facialist said, let her be mad! Stop with that "it was funny" bullshit. It's funny because it's not about Kristin. But I guess if there was gossip about Josh running around with other women, she wouldn't be so quick to ki-ki about that.

Ha! I do! I live for Luvvie's blog.

 

Heather was being annoying both during the rappelling and the geo-cache. Kristen overdoes it with the tears and attitude, but shut up, Heather. She was definitely trying to get in Kristen's head and deter her from going down the mountain.
