After the wine expert offered Heather vials containing some of the essences of the notes of the wine, she gives it a second try and likes it better. Not quite as much laughter this time around from the countess. She did eek out a little smirk when Heather called it acid-y and pucker-y, though.
I told you to be careful about letting people drink the Ramona Pinot Grigio. Look what it did to the Sommelier!
So now the stage has been set for Ramona. She refuses to have the blindfold put on her. Of all the people that should put a cover on their eyes, it’s Ramona. How does Mario sleep at night or wake up in the morning seeing that in bed? A burlap coffee sack, no? During her camera interview, Ramona thinks she’s being cute by saying she won’t even let Mario put a blindfold on her…and that he’s asked…wink wink. No shit, he’s asked! Who wants those bug-eyed peepers catching the moonlight? Never mind, it wouldn’t help–the crazy rays would burn right through.
I can’t explain it, but it smells and tastes like someone’s underarms.
Ahhh, the countess is looking happy again when Ramona responds that the wine needs more depth and citrus, that her Ramona Pinot Grigio has more citrus in it. What are you up to, countess? Ramona likes it better after snorting entire vials of the essences–followed by a couple of poppers. So what wine is it? Ohhhhh, surprise, surprise, turns out it’s Ramona Pinot Grigio! What a couple of naughty tricksters, that countess and her Fwenchman. Ramona pours a big glass in a product-placement triumph and begins Turrr-tle Tiiiiiime!
I was right! See, smell my arm pits!
The Dreschers arrive in Bal Harbour. Despite Aviva’s laundry list of phobias–including laundry and lists–the highrise overlooking the beautiful beach and open ocean is soothing to her. Aviva’s father, George the male slut, arrives, revving his creeper engine. Reid’s mother shows up with presents for the children but nothing’s in the bag for the horny dude. No hurt feelings, he’s creeping right along, telling Aviva if she wasn’t his daughter, he’d….lalalalalalala….
Sorry it took so long, but everyone that got on the elevator kept hitting the emergency button and getting off on the next floor. What’s up with that?
Marilyn lives in Boca, which George says is God’s waiting room, a Hebrew home for the aged, and where people go to die. Nice. Oh, wait, he’s not done. It’s an old fart Jewish colony that migrated from Long Island. Oh, thanks, that’s nice. Wait, what? More? Then he directs his conversation to Marilyn, complimenting her that, if she moved to South Beach, she could have a stud in his 40s every day of the week except for Sundays when her black stud goes to Baptist Church. Niiiiiice, George. Marilyn is both cool, classier, and yet kind of playing along.
He’s kinda sexy in a Don Rickles sorta way.
If you like it, spread it!:

What does Pepe le Pew do exactly? He sells wine or is just a pro douche/wine drinker?
Great recap, BSL!!
Ramona at the dinner table was hilarious. I normally don’t laugh out loud unless someone falls down (sorry Aviva, but I am sure you want to be treated like everyone else), but Ramona had me in stitches.
So do people just let anyone do their brows? I have been going to the same place for 10 years. I don’t know that I could just let a random person mess with my eyebrows. Maybe I am just a creature of habit.
TURTLE TIME!!!!
I have to say, I saw the previews, and what hornysaurus says to princess Carole and seeing Mario spew out his drink actually had me in stitches. That, and the sommelier dig that backfired was amusing. Don’t get between a lush and her Pinot soaked liver, girlie man.
@classy, dahling, this random eye brow waxing by any hoi polloi is just not done. Quel horror!
(seriously, I like routine too)
When does the shit in the fan on this show? Let’s go!!
I did have a LOL moment when Luann said (about the waxing) “It hurts like a bitch!” Countess, really? Such language… And that little plot you cooked up with frenchy was a little nasty – all we were missing was high school lockers and a bunch of bitchy cheerleaders. Meow…
Ramona is exhausting. A workout with Richard Simmons is less exhausting. Watching those eyes bulge, that mouth run non-stop. I know that she is considered fun, but I do not think that I could deal with her without dramamine. And that salad ordering? Either that place is used to high maintenance heiffas or that balsamic dressing will have some new “ingredients”. That poor waiter…
Aviva – your Dad? First, ewwwww. Second, when is he and Jackie Mason opening at Catskills? And that epic sized hotdog could be put to good use when you are stirring shit. Which is constantly now…
Poor Sonja – she finally met a man who was not in awe of her or terrified of her ability to consume him whole.
Danke for the great recap. Hope this show becomes worthy of you.
Wow! The Aviva family just up and broke every record and won every prize for creepy inappropriate family conversation in the world!
The Kardashians are going to be so pissed.
I have been having the same girl do my eyebrows for the last 5 years and the thought of going somewhere else makes me break out in hives!
Why is it Heather’s job to school everyone else on manners and etiquette? And the Cuntless no less – has she not read the book!?!
This seemed like a set up for next week when the shit really hits the fan…and it better because so far this season has been a let down.
I can’t believe these hoity-toity women still do waxing. How pedestrian. Hello threading.
Saw the previews…the second half of this season looks interesting.
The Countess is a slore….hmmmmmm.
I hate how Bravo teases us. As good as the Countess being a sloot would be, I just know it’s a bait and switch, but I am still praying because she has become the most vile this season. I’m glad she’s getting the bitch edit because I think them keeping her while firing so many others has really over-inflated that pumpkin head of hers.
Although Aviva is annoying, she made a good point that it is really messed up to try to make someone’s kids or business look bad on air. I was surprised Ramona didn’t recognize her wine just based on how much of it she drinks, but I was thinking it’s possible she thought it was a close competitor, in which case if she praised it she would look bad/hurt her business. Basically Lu put her in a lose-lose situation and sat nearby and cackled like the harpy she is the whole time.
If Ramona’s wine is crap, let the good people of target decide, it doesn’t have to come out of Lu’s snide uncouth Count-gobbler mouth.
PS I don’t like the Countess
It is silly, but what was the name of the ginormous hot dog Aviva ordered? Was it Kobe beef or Kobe B.hot dog? When I heard the name the first time, I thoght they said “Kobe B. “, and since I saw the previews with the giant hot dog on the plate, I thought that the hot dog was named after Kobe Bryant, some kind of athlete, and his dong. I don’t want to sound racist or anything, ha, ha. Maybe I am wrong, but I defienietly have a dirty mind…
Kobe Beef hot dog Aliens not Kobe Bryant.
It has been a slow burn of a season but after that flash forward at the end of this episode, HOLY HELL, it is going to get good and nasty.
Hilarious and spot on recap. XO
Dang, I missed this epi (away in London Dahling . Sadly not at the penthouse in the Mayfair.)
Gotta catch up before the next one.
Oh, are they going to have an episode this week or is it the Olympics?
I just watched this episode. George is a dirty old man. Aviva’s is pretty boring and most likely trying to stay on the show. Her fathers antics add to her story. I hope he is really not that gross that it was more for the cameras.
There is something seriously wrong with Avivas’ penis-wrinkle father. He scares me.
