That said, Adriana comes off insane, and she doesn’t bring out much better in Joanna when the other woman starts crowing about retweeting negative tweets (I hate you, Twitter. I hate you so hard.) and getting mad at Lisa for not coming to her defense. Both women start pouting about the other being a clear bully, when everyone on the couch has had e-fucking-nough. Ana points out that kids are literally dying because of actual bullying, so two grown women trading insults at dinner parties when they could both afford to hire armed guards to duke it out for them is an affront to real suffering. She’s not wrong. Lisa brings up the very apt point that while she’s been bullied in the past, much like Joanna and Adriana claim to have been, it didn’t make her behave like a batshit crazy dodo bird as a grown up. Finally, Lea chimes in that none of them should be forced to pick sides because the two women make that fucking difficult with such immature behavior. I’ll say. My roommate is watching as I recap and he looks like he wants to cry. Then Lea starts crying, and I’m not sure why…
Speaking of “romance,” let’s turn the spotlight on Karen’t and her maybe-relationship with probably-herpetic Rodolpho. Not helping her case – the fact that they’re not together now. Andy only seems interested in discussing the cheating debacle, and Karen’t makes it pretty clear that she would have probably listened to information from the ladies had it come with positive intent. Ana has a giant two cents to put in all of a sudden, calling Rodolpho the Mexican Slade, and spouting off about what a famewhore simpleton he is. Mmmmkay…
In another kind of inexplicable move, Lea pipes up that she didn’t have a great opinion of Karen’t either, but it changed a bit when she saw how merciless the other women were towards our sweet, smiley dentist. Ana calls bullshit on Lea, claiming the Divine Mrs. Black had it out for Karen’t from Day One, and thus is introduced a strange theme for this reunion:
XOXO!!
I don’t get it, Gasmii. I know Ana was never super-impressed with Lea on the show, but the level of vitriol she throws Lea’s way both in this first installment and the next is really excessive.
For instance, Ana claims that Lea is totally bullshitting poor Karen’t, refuses to be convinced otherwise even when NO ONE on the couches corroborates (even Adriana). Then, when the conversation moves onto Lea’s mouthy-mouth, Ana takes it way to another level, making age jokes (not that Lea’s above that), calling Lea’s claim to be self-made a load of crap and in general hating on a woman she seems to have barely noticed all season.
When the conversation moves to Lea and Marysol, unfortunately things are pretty much back where they started, except Marysol is crying more. I really had a hard time piecing together what went on during this exchange, but what I think it boils down to is that Marysol, after having watched the season, saw and heard the negative things Lea was saying about the Patton Group. She realized how bad it made her company look and she was upset that Lea would use such a big microphone to air out their personal dirty laundry. Lea, for her part, makes no apologies for what she’s said, defending herself by claiming that she’s only ever told the truth. They’re both kind of right, but Marysol’s case would be helped immensely if she a)stopped crying and b)got the fuck off reality television if she thinks she can control her own publicity.
If you like it, spread it!:

I do love how Mama Elsa is a bad ass. It has to be hard to have been such a beautiful lady then to have plastic surgery go wrong and her face turn out that way.
Finally someone says something about Ad and Jo using bullying incorrectly. Both ladies can stand on their own two feet and fight their own battles so no you are not being bullied.
Karen’t was probably the only person the whole show who didn’t apologize for at least ONE thing that they did. I mean she could have at least said that wasn’t the time or place to do something or even the Ana mix up with Rodolfo. Karen’t is perfect in every way. BLECK…
When Lisa mentioned that she was doing promotional modeling and Playboy I thought it was mean that Joanna pounced and said that she was proud of playboy. I was thinking, “bitch no one asked you.” But since modeling is Joanna’s “thing” I guess she felt it necessary to comment.
We didn’t find out anything new about the girls or anything revealing during these two reunion episodes. These are beginning to become useless. At least back in the day some sort of bombshell would come out or we would get closure on a situation but now all we get is a waste of two hours of women squawking at each other.
I could not hate Adrianna anymore than I already do and I’ve been DYING to read this recap! Thanks for making it two-in one! Adrianna throwing the punch, kissing up to Joe Francis, ugh ugh ugh. It was so disgusting and she’s awful.
Did anybody see this article? http://www.examiner.com/article/real-housewives-star-adriana-de-moura-denies-getting-married-2008
She’s so awful.
@Alejandra – Ana is claiming that “someone” told her that Lea was coming after her at the reunion. That’s why she came out with guns blazing. Rumor has it that one of the things she brought up was questioning where the money went from Lea’s charity party.
I found this group of women to be repulsive most of the year, although I was most sympathetic to Karent. My opinion hasn’t changed much after watching the reunion, except I discovered a whole new loathing for Alexia. Her son “loves” homeless people. My god!
P.S. my capcha code is heebie-jeebies
Obviously this reunion was cut to shreds by editing because Ana is making no sense. Sniff out the internet and we find Ana has some financial dirt on Lea and Roy’s Black Gala. Seeing how upset Lea was; there must have been some truth to what Ana had. We also find out Adriana has been lying and married four years ago.
Joanna looked horrible in that fake tan.
I thought Ana was a complete Bi#ch during both episodes. She had this hard, mean look on her face the whole time. She comes across as pathetic…..it is SO obvious that she still loves her soon to be ex? husband.
She tries to act so lighthearted and happy when they have scenes together but it is so clear he has moved on and he keeps laughing at her when she tries to be serious with him…Also, she is SO proud of both of her daughters?? Seems to me every scene with them they seemed to be talking about sexual hijinks between their dad and new young love. yikes! that is icky, icky, icky………
I did like the Twitter shirt they gave Adriana.
@Alejandra Totally cosign on Mama Elsa. The other day in real life somebody was saying for all the PSAs and after school special stuff they have trying to tell young girls that their self image needs to go deeper than how they look. It’s this 70 something yr old lady on Bravo that’s the 1 actually sending that msg out. And without hardly even mentioning it in words.
I can’t say a lot that didn’t already get said on the WWC where they talked about this reunion. Even though they’re all on opposite sides of the fence from me about Lea. That I don’t like for a whole lot of reasons. Most of which don’t have jackshit to do with entertainment.
1 thing they were saying, though is that Ana was acting like that trying to save her job. Since her story was over when she signed the divorce papers.
But they forgot to say Adriana was doing the same damn thing! She’s still my favorite of all the Housewives from anywhere. But her story’s as over as Ana’s is. She’s even told her son she’s going to marry Fredric. And since she’s smart and not a ho she doesn’t fit on the show any which way. I’ll miss her though.
Marysol doesn’t have any business being on any reality show. She doesn’t have the stomach for it. The only reason she’s doing it is so her mom can have fun being a star in her golden yrs. When what they ought to do is just let Mama Elsa be the Real Housewife.
Karent needs to get off of this show and get her chimp nose and Eric Estrada lookalike Halloween teeth’s ass over to Toddlers and Tiaras. She can be a pageant MC. Like Annette.
Lisa is 29??? For real??? I’m 29. She looks a good 10 years older than me. Yeesh.
Ana was acting like a raving lunatic. I read somewhere that Lea posted a snarky blog about Ana’s two demonic kids. I thought I read it here, but I guess not!
This reunion was boring. I agree with above: no new info, no settled issues, just extended arguments.
Better than last years, though the editing was wonky.
You know what got me re: Alexia? Besides her insistence that her oldest db son “loves homeless people” and didn’t punch that guy that he totally punched in the crotch? When Lisa pointed out how she was smiling, as she waited for Karent to hear about the article, Alexia shot back something along the lines of how it’s okay because she smiles and laughs when she wants to, not just to cover up something like KARENT. It was like, yeah, you just proved how heinous you are. Not that we needed proof. I didn’t like her much last season and this one just cemented it.
There was definitely something more than shown with Ana and Lea; Lea was very emotional throughout the reunion.
Lisa didn’t talk a lot, but when she did it made sense. That’s sad that no one even thought to apologize to her. Love that she called Ana and Alexia out on their bullshit.
Mama Elsa-I wish we had her on for longer! I was surprised Marta and Elaine weren’t there; I guess they just haven’t earned it yet.
I am going to rant.. As a small service business owner I have total sympathy for Marysol. Lea married into a lot of money and does not know hard work of a business owner. Marysol cried because she could not fight with out alienating more business. I know a lot of \Leas\ who think nothing of bad mouthing businesses and not understanding their ramifications. If Lea had any business sense she would have scheduled at meeting with Marysol at her business within a few months of the event and discuss the problems . Not corner her at parties and lucheons. Lea acted like a rich bitch who is always right and owners know these are the type you wish to avoid because they can cause havoc on the bottom line and not blink twice. I do not do Angies List or any web sites that allow comments. It can be death to my business. I do great work and I get my customers from word of mouth.
Another story. I worked with a guy who’s mom owned a small furniture store. The owner of our company’s wife bought a sofa from his mom. Because the wife found a small pen mark on the sofa she wanted the sofa for free. The furniture store offered the sofa at their cost but the the wife said no. In order not to cause problem with her son’s job, she gave the wife the sofa for free. They had money; it was a large privately owned (by our boss) manufacturing plant that did subcontract work for the goverment.
Done.
I think it’s wrong to say that Lea doesn’t know hard work. She may have married money but she definitely had a growing and established business – case in point, showing Lisa. Lisa being shocked that she had something before she was married. She also works damn hard on the Black Ball or gala. I think she is probably my favorite bc I don’t feel that she spreads unnecessary gossip, nor does she do what Ana or AD do. Those two women act like 2 year olds. Hell, even Lisa is a class act in comparison. So Frankie, on an unrelated note, \loves homeless people\. Is it the kind of love where, \I only hit you bc I love you\ love!!? I understand she was TRYING to defend her asshol* son, but really?! Say that he made a mistake, he’s paying the consequences and has learned from the ordeal he put the poor guy through. Good lord. .
I will never understand the love for Lea after she complained to her son John Goodman did not get a fair trial. The man left a kid for dead and then adopted his girlfriend to shield money from the kids family. He is scum and so is Lea and Roy. Remember she also found the Kennedy rapist not guilty as well.
@eyediosmio — is that aviva from real housewives of new york in that picture with adrienne on the link you posted? No wonder I hate them both…bitches of the same feather…you know the rest
Preach it, @labowner! Totes agree!!
