Back to the reunion couches, Andy brings up the many facets of the countess’ personality, if you want to call it that. Heather wants to talk about how she can have fun with Lu when it’s not “Class With the Countess”, but Lu needs to tone it down. Lu doesn’t think being fertile, classy, and elegant are ever over the top. Carole adds ill manners and “Anti-Countess” as ways to describe Lu.
The nemesis of the pumpkin-headed, ill-mannered Anti-Countess.
Then, Andy clarifies that what he really wants to know is if anyone took joy in the countess getting busted lying about the pirate. Ramona lies that she would never take joy in Lu getting caught because wishing bad on anyone is not in her nature. Everyone except Jacques probably took joy in her getting busted playing her pirate games.
Let’s clear off this table and get busy…cooking.
In St. Barth, the butler is stuck with Ramona unpacking all of her luggage, leaving Sonja to flirt with the chef. Lu’s studying of Frenglish for Birds has paid off, allowing her to communicate with her friend’s parrots. Thank goodness for subtitles to know what Lu is saying to those birds in her secret language.
I am one of you, little bird, talk to me.
On the yacht, Heather and Carole comfort each other that they do not have pictures of themselves with their famous friends. It’s a very touching moment that they can list these celebrities, but there’s no pictures of them together. Sometimes life really is so unfair.
Aviva apologizes to Ramona at the reunion because she realized how badly she behaved when she saw the videos. Ramona isn’t buying it because Aviva continued tweeting and blogging nasty stuff.
Heather again steps up to tell Aviva that she had a preconceived notion about RamonJa’s behavior from Miami, but she really didn’t know anything about what had been going on in St. Barth before she arrived. Aviva even admits she was the one person that behaved ungracious and trashy. Sonja is a softy and goes all Stuart Smalley, encouraging Aviva to tell herself she is loved…but hated by Ramona.
Andy can’t get enough of Tomas. The walking and talking in the garden were wonderful for Sonja, and he even came to New York in May, when all of the gardens were blooming.
There’s a quick montage of one-liners and funny moments, including Ramona’s diarrhea, The Stumblebums, the bidet facial, and Aviva’s big hot dog.
Happy holidays!
To end the season, Andy asks each of the ladies their best and worst times.
Ramona’s favorite was time in St. Barth with Heather, Carole, Sonja, and Lu. Her worst time was tea with Aviva, because they don’t make pinot grigio tea.

Thanks BSL– champers and cupcakes to ya!!!! My Lord–I had to step away and not watch this lost footage montage–but now I can go in safely-no surprises!!!!!!
I died reading this. I think my favorite moment is the seemingly non-sequitor image of Heather at the bottom of page 2. Also, have I missed something or is Madame Palindrome a new nickname for Vivs? Brilliant!
I’m not a frequent commenter.. however, I obsessively check for new recaps and comments every 5 minutes at work daily. Hats off to you BSL!
@BelowSeaLevel We got opposite thoughts from some of the droppings. Partly because of my theory that looking too staged is how stuff gets put in the litter box in the 1st place. And partly because of you being a poet. So your heart’s not as jaded.
I thought Carole’s mail scene couldn’t be any faker. We’re supposed to think she goes to the store downstairs just like a regular person. Because she’s so down to earth. Even though she’s a Princess so her mail’s diamonds.
But I was suspicious she found out about his heart flutter while they were getting set up to shoot.
Who’d ask an older person to put on a bracelet like that? People quit being able to see jewelry findings way before they get old! Plus when she kissed him, you could tell that’s not something that happens.
Does anybody know if LuAnn got her kids as a wedding present?
Because my new alter ego Krumtre Mitzentongs that doesn’t even try to be polite kept pulling my chin like she was Teresa and I was Kathy. Asking me did I see a scrap of anything but Europe in their face.
I couldn’t see much of anything but old Count Fart. But I kept that to myself. And reminded Krumtre of the Mendel’s Law of Forrest Gump. You never know what you’re going to get.
Then my other alter ego Preachy McJudgington got all prissy. And said nobody as mixed as us ought to even be thinking about stuff like that. And if LuAnn self identifies as NDN we have to respect it.
I left them to fuss without me. Because the new Watch What Crappens was up. And ended up ROFLMAO with kleenex in my eyes! Listening to @Flipit doing a dramatic re enactment of LuAnn’s business meeting.
We’re so fucking lucky! When we get old we’ll be able to tell people that @BelowSeaLevel and @Flipit were our internet friends. Back when they used to be only semi famous. And our relatives will roll their eyes. And say some patronizing shit. But we’ll know.
Oh and here’s a link. If anybody wants to click my Facebook head.
Lu’s (she loves it when I call her that) kids better learn to eat faster, Lu doesn’t have time to spend chit chatting with those two dependents, where the hell is the housekeeper when you need her?
The season is finally over. Thank you baby Jesus!!(oops that was the other show). Thanks for the reviews. BS-l. It was a fun ride.
Who the H is Richard??? Is he a guy that wanted to be on tv so he bought lunch for SonJa (like she did with her plumber). It was kind of gross since he “loved” her and we never saw him during the season.
Next season they should get rid of LuAnn (the Countess). Boring. No story line. The scene with the her launching a line was terrible. She expected them to come up with items and she would approve and put her name on it. I really think this is what Ramona does with her wine and jewelry. I don’t and never will drink her wine (although I am on a second glass of chardonnay as I type).
Love Heather. Loved her from the start. She seems like “she calls them as she see them” without worrying about upsetting a friendship.
It is interesting how Jill and Alex will not go away. They keep showing up on my tv and computer. Ick!!
SonJa’s toaster idea will be dead on arrival. (You heard it here first). Last week on a morning news show a famous cook was coming out with a toaster oven cookbook. Sonja had the idea for a cookbook last season but someone must of convinced her to make a toaster oven too. Too little, too expensive, too late. I like SonJa but her money woes is scarry. Maybe she should call the Teresa and Joe and find out how they manage to keep their house yet owe soo much money.
Has anyone else noticed that whenever Countesslu laughs, she immediately turns her head to the left or right? I can’t tell whether she’s looking for approval or agreement that someone else finds it funny, or if it’s a “royal” affectation that prevents you from laughing at someone right in their face.
Watch for it in the reunion or re-runs, in case you don’t have a chance to watch her next season.
@Tvsnarkeling–saw the toaster oven thing too! Was dying! Wonder how Sonja (oops, almost forgot the sexy j) felt. You shouldn’t keep talking about an idea, let other’s jump on it and beat you. Business 101. Wasn’t that Eric Ripert, I think. If fine seafood dining man can endorse home toaster cooking, Sonja really blew it.
@BSL–great recap! One thing you didn’t mention that I thought was HILARIOUS, was Ramona pulling out her own wine glass out of her purse for Mary-O at the booksigning. How did that sucker not break? She should put out a line of travel wine glasses.
I loved the part where Sonja was helping Ramona pack for St Barths. you could totally see that they are just two nuts hanging out.
I want to see more of that and less of the contrived set-upedness! (that should be a word)
OMG your captions are all I need to read! Starting with ” Who would leave a good hand lying around” to digs about farm equ.
Thanks BSL for the great reviews that had me LOL everytime I read!
Now I won’t be able to rest until I find out if AVIVA gets kicked off the Island ..next season….
Let’s keep Googling Reid & George to see what they are doing ..I love the article where george was on JDATE as a much younger man..he can no longer lie about his age..HA HA…that must be a real drawback..for him…
