With Pleather’s Yummie commitments finally behind her, she is free to enjoy London with the ladies. First on the agenda is a croquet outing arranged by Sonja. Sleep deprivation, combined with Countess Pumpkin’s continuous one-upping, and the stage is set for a royal showdown.
Dahling, you do know that I invented croquet, don’t you?
Despite champagne and croquet mallets, we are deprived of some much-needed bloodshed. LuAnn is finding everyone’s last nerve and is on it like gravy on potatoes, so Heather tries to bust her pinata punkin with a clue bat drop hints to the countess. LuAnn is so consumed with her greatness that every swing goes completely over her pumpkin head. No candy for this party.
After returning to New York, Sonja is preparing for Aviva’s anniversary party, which is also the debut of Sonja in the City. Seeing one of Sonja’s interns in action, is there really a college giving credit for trailing Sonja around keeping track of her cell phone?
The party gets off to a decent start with the guests mingling and drama-free. Things quickly take a turn for the worse after Aviva takes an unfortunate tumble. One can’t imagine the party getting worse, but it does when the entertainment Sonja has chosen for Aviva and Reid starts singing and dancing. Oh, now I get it, it’s a comedy act, not musical at all! Sonja is so clever! Or not.
We’re too sexy for our crumb trays!
We are finally rewarded with some drama when Ramona tells Pleather what she thinks of her pageant smile. Ramona might have thought she could get in a good dig and skedaddle, but Pleather’s gangsta chic and goes all Benny Hill on her pinoted ass.
Can someone play Yakety Sax?
Ramona tries her best to escape Pleather, but the two of them bounce around The Empire Room like a couple of bumper cars. Next week, off to Miami to meet Aviva’s dad.
The full recap will be up in a couple of days, but in the meantime, check out last’s weeks recap here.

ah, bsl…..a comedic dance crew!….whoosh…right over my head….tks for clearing that up! what a dear!
Am I going to hell because I laughed when Aviva fell?? I laughed during each and every promo and laughed when I watched the show.
Aviva’s just lame as hell. I’m sorry. From her toast; which you can tell she really thought was clever to her attempt at gossip time with Carole in the salon. Lame balls
Luanne is the most important person in the world. Did y’all know that? She is! No one could possibly have beef with her bc she’s perfect. (sarcasm)
Lol at Pleather playing Pinot Around the Rosie with Ramona. Chasing her around for fun just to get under her skin. I can’t stand Pleather, but that was hilarious!
I did give in and watch RHONY last night. That’s an hour I’ll never get back. Not even most great grandmothers I know would find it exciting to watch middle aged women playing croquet.
Thinking things couldn’t get worse, the entertainment for Aviva’s annivesaryparty began. It was so dreadful, I changed channels. After what I thought was an appropriate amount of time, I went back to the HW’s and they were still caterwauling.
BSL, your description of the Heather/Ramona encounters is hysterical. It was really the only part of the entire episode worth watching. From here forward, I’m going to rely on your recaps!
One has to wonder how Sonja’s party planning biz is going to do after the fiasco she planned for Aviva? Bad entertainment, not enough food and a couple of flower arrangements with a free case of pinot thrown in – all captured on tape isn’t exactly a great start.
How long does it take to complete a toaster oven cookbook? That is something I’d actually buy. I’ve got a few friends that are cooking challenged and would buy her cookbook as gifts. They’d feel a great sense of accomplishment serving something other than Stouffers.
I got to “Bitch stole my look” and I had to change the channel. I want to watch BeLowSeaLevel, I SO do but I just can’t. Forgive me?
This whole episode sucked!! Until Sonja’s catered event started…
I laughed my arse off at this cluster eff of ridiculous. The off-key, beyond stupid entertainment, the lack of food, the face-plant by Aviva and best of all Ramona being chased around the room by a grinning, vindictive Heather. lolol
I’d totally watch the Sonja and the City Show. I can’t imagine that she’d ever throw a dull party.
Even Melissa Gorga (*snort*) would have been better entertainment than that creepy Madonna Wannabe. Did anyone notice how her mouth moved more than required for the words coming out of it? Gotta give our gals credit – they gamely jived and popped and pretended it was enjoyable. Would love to see the thought bubbles above their heads…
It’s taken a while, but I’ve finally decided that I love me some Sonja. She’s one of those “larger than life” personalities and she does not take herself too seriously. Her entire persona is schtick – she puts herself out there. It’s over the top and outrageous, but it’s funny and she’s in on the joke with the rest of us.
Sonja = Entertainment
Was the girl singing the same girl that went on the date with Jimmy D from MM? Anyone know?
@romo….avivia may be lame as hell but heather beats her in the worst fake smile and worst tag line category…..If I never hear “jewish by injection” (which she mistakenly believes is both witty and naughty) again I may consider actually watching the new york train wreck yet again.
@cj….no words for that so called party….I’d rather watch my toenails grow….hell I’d rather watch Avivia’s toenails grow….(the bad leg!)
Alls (tm Lu) I have to say – it’s a good thing Ramona didn’t stop short or she would have gotten the shnoz enigma of her life! “Mary – O there’s something in my ass! Pull it out! ”
I loved Carole one uping Lu ‘s (she loves it when you call her that) one upmanship!!
I’m embarrassed I laughed at Aviva. Twice.
I’m pretty sure I’m not going to like Heather. Ever
@classy drunk – I’m with you – I doubt that I will ever like Heather -ever! It was ridiculous the way she kept on egging Ramona on – especially when Ramona told her it was neither the time or place and then when Ramona told her that her smile was so fake – Heather’s standing there denying that she was even smiling. She was like a dog with a bone.
@classydrunk…you won’t…truly…nee-eever!
I love Sonja and I love Carole. Those two know how to be gracious, mostly unpretentious, fun, and mostly genuine. I like that. It’s a hard find in the housewives franchise.
Heather would have my foot up her ass so quickly. I know Ramona goes crazy and gets all flustered, but I can’t blame someone for that when they’re emotional. That’s what she is – emotional (or Ramotional…isn’t that some lame thing Miss Andy called it once?). Ramona doesn’t want Heather pretending to be her friend when they’re at a function and isn’t going to let her try to play the “nice” card. Of course, Ramona screws it up by having a freak out, but for Heather to follow her around to purposefully fuck with her, that was wrong. She was the one who screwed over Aviva’s party. I’ve seen right through Heather from the get-go. She’s one of those people who finds it 100% appropriate to talk smack about someone to anyone who’s around, because she assumes everyone thinks or feels the same way she does. I hate that. That’s the attitude of someone who doesn’t find anything wrong with themselves and, thus, assumes no one else does either.
And she still totally looks like DLR.
Oh silly me, I wrote this before the episode finished. Seriously? Heather sat there and joined in on that conversation in London just to tuck it under her hat for use later? What a child! Oh man, I thought I hated LuAnne, but Heather may be passing her up soon.
Yes! Totally Jimmy D’s date!
@Cherry, You got me there. Pleather Dummie is the worst! I wanna slap her when she does that fake smile. Wth is her deal?
I know I am the only Heather-liker but is she looking to be “business friendly” with Ramona (who I have dubbed in my head “MoMo Singer” ever since the Dans Papers interview)? Not a close friend but a polite and pleasant relatioship. I think MoMo is ooouncy competitive with Heather–and Heather cant be taught anything by Momo so no mentoring there. Its just full on competition–mana on Momo!!
Hot Cawfee I think that’s the problem. Heather early on was trying to pretend that she and Ramona were ok, when she didn’t like her after the first meeting in her office.
Lu (she loves it when you call her that) and Ramona are friendly but certainly aren’t friends and they carry on at parties and are able to be in the room with one another (sometimes).
I think Ramona wants to know where she stands with Heather and then she can assess the relationship properly. When she doesn’t know where she stands she gets very “Ramotional” (SugarBush, Andy says that like 5 million times during a RHONY season.
)
@ 21 Classy– YES !!!! I think Momo categorizes people–friend-friend, business-associate, business-friend etc. If you know who and what the person is, you know how to proceed. Mr Cawfee does that “Gotta have the roster handy to know who’s pitching” Something like that–I drift in and out.
@11 Cherry– agreeing with you on Heather’s “Jewish by injection” remark–kinda classless
But youse guys–I think these are rookie mistakes that can be remedied. Also we are gasmi-crushing on Carole, so anyone would fall short.
