There’s more Heather bashing on the menu as they discuss Heather having her assistant reply to emails. Maybe it’s because she’s on a television show to promote her belly squisher business and not really your BFF.
Sonja blew off lunch with Ramona to meet up with the countess at a chic club. LuAnn isn’t bringing skin care products, but she is bringing her royal ovulating presence for all to bask in. LuAnn asks if Ramona is jealous of LuAnn’s relationship with Sonja and if Ramona has been trying to strong arm and control her. What a silly question! Of course, Ramona is awfully scary when she pops both eyes out on springs and screeches like an angry peacock, but the person she is most likely to strong arm is a bartender cutting her off after six bottles.
Ramona’s jealous of me, isn’t she? Right? She is, huh? Like everyone. Right? Jealous, right?
LuAnn wants to dig right in and accuse Ramona of controlling Sonja, but while Sonja was initially willing to admit that Ramona is very controlling, she draws the distinction that Sonja is the only person in control of Sonja. I’ll agree with that. Sonja turns the tables and asks LuAnn point blank if she likes Ramona, to which she says that she does like Ramona. LuAnn Liar Liar’s pants catch on fire creating confusion, with several drunk diners asking, “Wait, what are we doing at Benihana?”
Hey, can you do that fancy volcano onion in my pants?!
Carole meets up with her neighbor and friend, Tripp, to check out the Occupy Wall Street protest. As a journalist, Carole is drawn to the scene “like a moth to the flame.” Carole gets a modest painted tattoo, signs the petition, and then heads for a drink with Tripp. It’s endearing that Carole has to ask Tripp if they’re part of the one percent–then happily agreeing that they are.
Body paint tattoo that only a different 1 % of the population looks good wearing.
Heather invites Ramona for drinks to see if her apology was sincere. Ramona is hoping the purpose of the meeting is to invite her to London. Spoiler alert: No and No.
When Heather brings up appreciating Ramona’s apology and that she thought talking about Heather’s son’s health might have made Ramona uncomfortable, Ramona reverts back to her one-upping about the cord around the neck. Likewise, Heather doesn’t extend an invitation to London and seems confused when confronted by Ramona that she ignored an email she sent inviting Heather to a luncheon honoring Ramona. Heather’s note to self: talk to assistant about luncheon invitation emails. Honestly, though, wouldn’t you do the same?
There is no hope for these two. Stick a salad fork in then–they’re done, done, done. As for how crispy fried they are, Ramona declined when she was asked if she wanted another wine. DONE!
Suck it, Tummie Dummie! You can shove the whole continent of London in yourear. London’s a continent, right?
In Ramona’s camera interview, she says that she hasn’t done anything to Heather and doesn’t hold any ill will towards her. She is serious, too. Ramona is a walking, talking public service announcement for the dangers of pinot grigio and googly eyes. If she wants to get back at Heather, she should name it Yummie Tummie Pinot Grigio because any product associated with Ramona’s behavior is enough to ruin a “brand”. Hell, why not market Yummie Tummie Zombie Bath Salts as the coup de grâce.
Heather goes to an art gallery with LuAnn, which is a less hostile environment. Heather invites LuAnn to London and when she hears that Ramona isn’t invited, LuAnn is thrilled. The countess tells the camera that she is impressed with Heather for not inviting Ramona, and using air quotes, calls Heather “gangster chic.” Sure, LuAnn, the woman that single handedly killed “Holla!” and “ie” is so gangsta.
Yay! I’m gangsta chic! When do I get to go to prison? Holla!

The franchise has become such a yawn fest that I stopped watching this episode after the first 10 minutes. All three of the newbies are visually interchangeable to the point where I can’t keep them sorted out. What a shame – the RHONY used to be my hands-down favorite – now it’s my thumbs-down worst.
Love the recaps, though – so will continue to keep up to date here. Thanks for the laughs!
I’m with you Surly Girl. RHNY was definitely one of my favorites of the franchise, but honestly all they have these season is the drama between Ramona and Heather which could all go away if she’d invited Ramona to London. They are trying to build on a bunch of nothingness…
Why can’t Carole be more immature and throw her princess status in Lu’s face?
Why can’t Aviva be more angry that all these women have slept with her man?
Why can’t Sonja have a drunken night with some hot painter person?
If would have been much more fun if Heather had not invited both Luann and Ramona. At least with two people left behind they would band together and talk about the other one.
It has potential but they are not taking advantage.
Where did you find that picture of Vickie in the fur coat? I thought she had returned it?
Wow, Lu (I love it when you call me Lu) was totally trying to turn Sonja against the Moana, not very Countess of you, Lu!
What a great recap !!!!!! I am stickin’ with these crazy gals for the duration.
Ramona– hon (rubbing my face with my hands)– you are in the early stages of menopause–For you we can call it “Pinot-pause”–sure we can and why not? Please get some meds–just a little pill here or there to chill you out.
OK– am armed now to watch the episode in total—
Oh– isnt Ramona going to be on Lawn Gisland to push her wine at a liquor store???
Obviously Andy is a bright bulb, but I think they made a huge mistake in starting this series while the other two were in full drama mode, which makes NYC look tame in comparison. I believe if we started watching when OC and NJ were over, it wouldn’t seem so “boring”. I don’t mind the normalcy on here. It is quite refreshing. Better than watching the same old arguments year after year.
OMG your captions are hysterical! Great recap!
Forgot to mention that Carole gave a good explanation of the 99% thing that she and Tripp went to. She seems pretty down-to-earth and it quite witty.
Wow ! What Ramona said about Sonja was ridiculous. Who ruins their best friends party, by dwelling and agonizing over not being invited to an event. Sonja needs to grow a backbone and stand up to Ramona. If Sonja wanted to go on the trip why would Ramona want to take that away from her.
Ramoana has evolved into a functioning alcoholic. As time goes on, she’s become more abrasive and less fun. I don’t think we’ll ever get Turtle Time again.
I think Sonja handled Alkamoana very well, once anything gets that rabid, you’re supposed to talk softly and calmly with your hands safely in the air. Sonja knows her friend was drunk so there was really no reason to argue with her.
Aviva and her one expression face is beginning to get on my nerves. Her one expressioned face and her monotone voice really is annoying, but her babies are waaay adorable.
Carole is hilarious and her sitting back and watching the madness amongst the women makes me laugh. I like her.
Heather’s snide face makes me want to kick her in the dummy tummy.
LuAnn is fucking delusional if she thinks she can get pregnant. Hint sweetie, after menopause you can’t get pregnant.
I don’t know. When you have a group of six people, and five of them are going on a trip, with the sixth intentionally omitted, I’d be pretty upset too. Throw some alcohol in the mix and I could see me causing a scene at my friend’s party.
Carole is a stitch. When she was on WWHL and Andy asked her if she was team Tre or tean Jaq – she said she was Team Rosie!
@ Mimo, I agree. How do you invite all but one person? All over something said at a party after a few cocktails.
@11 – Classy – I will tell you how….the producers most likely told her not to so there would be major Ramona back lash and make the season less boring.
Just like on mob wives when we found out the producer had told the girls not to let Carla know how sick Renee was so Renee could go ape shit about it during the beginning of the season.
I also agree with the above poster who said that Ramona has become a functioning alkie.
Lab…you are right….too many shows on at the same time….which shows us too many franchises and he wants to add even more? Greedy. If people did not have the ability to record these shows they would never be able to leave their sets to do anything else for half the week..
I still intend to watch the full season of NY though….because I couldn’t stand Jill and Kelly so much I refuse to help lower any ratings LOL
Sunshine after watching the very refreshing Vancouver series, I am liking the non-aggression so far. With out the fighting from the other ladies, Ramona looks that much crazier.
I just finished reading Carole’s book “What Remains.” She has more substance that most of the housewives in any franchise. I wonder if she will let herself be lowered down to the other women? She was a journalist for 15 years at ABC , worked with Peter Jennings, etc. Why on
Earth she agreed to be on this series is beyond me.
@Adelefig – that is exactly why I reserve judgement on Carol. I am loving her as much as anyone but its a catch 22 inverse of the Groucho Marx saying “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member”. What is her malfunction and when do we get to see it?
I loved the recap! Great Ramotional pics and yes I believe some mood altering medication could go a long way with her.
Ramona did the wrong thing but the thing no one can admit is this isn’t a group of Heather’s girlfriends, its the cast of a show she’s paid to be on. They keep saying “the girls” but really mean “the cast” and the trip is “a plot line”. It is less like having a minor friend/acquaintance in your circle not invite you to something (stings but suck it up) and more like a coworker in a small office organizing a work-related field trip and excluding you.
@labowner that make sense. They knew something like this would drive Ramona over the edge and I guess they think that’s what we want to see. Every show has to have a villain and with Jill out of the picture I guess they are shooting for Ramona to be the new villain.
@14 Adele– its a great book isnt it??? I love Carole’s phrase–”tragedy whores”– for people who intrude into the grief and drama of the death of someone/s and turn into something very selfserving. I have adopted it for my own use and use it freely–my m-in-law is the biggest TW going. After 9-11 you’d think she was related to half the people who died (were murdered).
MsMia Carole seems to me like the try anything once, what is it going to hurt kind of person. I am sure the contracts are for one year. What’s a few months out of your life to gain some appreciation and perspective for what you are and have?
@18 Lab– right–and Carole is also looking to finish and market her book. Not judging her for that of course—these chicks are all looking to push product
You know, read the first couple of comments here about this new season and had to agree….I remember being blown away by RHNY two seasons back – the whole Bethenny/Jill saga – the pain – the tears – and just thinking that “Wow, it doesn’t get any better.” And it was beautifully edited and shot, to boot. Okay, I may have been smoking the ganja a bit back then, but still. And then read the other reasonable comments that point out that perhaps it was a bad time to start this series – while two others are just out there with the glamdrama. Anyway, just watching this episode now. Leading up to Ramona’s meltdown. And yes, agree with another reasonable voice here – being excluded, especially when you’ve seen most of your “friends” get tossed out and all the newbies come in – may tend to make a pinot grigio addict a little frantic. Anyway, I read the recap before the show. And thanks so much. Really? Are there funnier and more clever writers anywhere else on the whole GD internet. I GD think not. Love TV Gasm. Raise a glass. And I’m off the pot but on the PG tonight.
