   What was up with Carole’s upper lip. I couldn’t stop staring at it.

   I give these ladies credit for letting each other speak…for the most part. I think I was able to comprehend 90% of what was said as compared to less than half of NJ.

   This reunion was way better than RHoNJ. We could hear what the ladies were thinking and their defenses.

   Loved how Ramona called BS on Aviva’s apology.

   I love how Aviva went to the Teresa Guidice School of Hard Blinks before attending this reunion.

   Mimo, I thought the same thing about Carole’s lip.

   And I couldn’t believe Aviva actually told that WHOLE conveyor-belt story again, complete with daddy telling her to scream. I can probably recite it verbatim now. I’m glad Andy nailed her on the irrelevance of the story to her tap water phobia — he should have pointed out it has nothing to do with heights, either. Or the subway. Or planes.

   Re Sonja … Don’t you usually have a deal to have a product in production BEFORE taking the pictures for the box?

   I’m thinking SonJa most likely has her slaves, oops, I mean interns (wink-wink), feverishly working on her toaster oven. Rrrriiiigggghhhhtttt! Looking forward to the full recap, BSL!

   I wonder if Aviva has a shit phobia too since it was a manure conveyorbelt that she got caught on, although liar liar about her whole leg getting chewed up – it was her foot. She opted to have the rest of her leg amputated to the knee years later to get a prostaic (sp?) leg that fit better. Aviva looked horrid at the reunion. Her face was soo pale, it matched her hair. And the blinking. And booo hooo on her not being able to fly her daughter to Paris. Try driving ya bitch!!

    I also wonder why Aviva fails to mention that she electively got her leg chopped off to get prettier fakes ones. And as a pediatric nurse, I hate the story of her dad telling her to keep screaming and the mean healthcare workers telling her to shut up. Typical bullshit crazy parent behavior. Encouraging her to scream and be anxious instead of distracting her and calming her I’m sure made the whole situation worse. And her phobias….please. I’m batshit cray cray afraid of frogs and clowns (they kill people), but a.) I’m afraid of them in all situations, not selectively (apparently Aviva is not afraid of flying or heights in Miami). b.) I don’t expect a ticker tape parade every time I run past a frog or stand in a patient room while the volunteer clowns do their thing (although clowns really should be banned frm the hospital). c.) I recognize that these are irrational and crazy. My family and friends know and I acknowledge and joke about my own mental issues. If Aviva could do the same she would be much better off.

    Quote of the show from Ramona to Aviva “I harbor no ill will towards her and I wish her the best, but she needs a new therapist.”

    @featherhead You have to give Aviva credit though. It takes a special kind of person to turn something as horrible as a little kid losing her foot into 18 episode’s worth of #richpeopleproblems.

    Aviva really does not look good for her age. Not to be catty but she’s made a point of bringing up Ramona’s age in a catty way so whats good for the goose and so on. When I look at her it’s easy to think of she and Ramona as the same age but Ramona is 15 years older than her! Rachel Weisz is a year older, Julianne Moore is like 10 years older and she looks way older than those 2! She and her husband should be careful about commenting on people’s looks in the future

    Boy, that Lu has some nerve. Wanting to wear a dress from a designer? Unheard of. Doesn’t she know this is the kind of thing that will haunt poor Michelle Obama for years?.

    LaurenB52 they have children and all (all cities) of these housewives/husbands should refrain from commenting about physical attributes. They have all shown us a long list of reasons to not like them.

    I am very jealous at how good Ramona looks for the amount of alcohol she consumes.

    Great mini! Can’t wait for the full recap!

    Watching this was such a breath of fresh air after being submerged in the raw sewage that has become the NJ reunion. The semi-polite and rational back-and-forth made me remember why I liked RH in the first place, I was starting to think I had a Dark Passenger that craved the shittiest, most exploitative TV available.

    Hated Aviva, loved that Ramona stayed fairly level and called her out on only apologizing because of viewer opinion. Hated that Andy tried to give Aviva a pass saying “Did you realize you needed to apologize after watching yourself?” No Andy, she wrote her vicious blogs even AFTER watching herself act like the cuntiest of cunts.

    As for Carole’s lips, I think it was Vanessa Williams on WWHL that said she looked like filler and/or scar tissue. Like maybe she removed an implant and now is all scarred up in the top lip?

    The great dress debate didn’t satisfy me either. Kudos to Heather, but letting Aviva have the final word sucked, she basically said it was about Carole being jealous of her friend making friends with LuAnn and then backhanded the whole thing by saying any designer Aviva uses is open to be used by the girls. The REAL issue was never articulated, Carole had a friend do a favor for LuAnn and LuAnn acted boorishly. Same as when you recommend a friend for a job position and they screw up. It’s not cause you’re jealous of their success on the job, it’s because you put your reputation on the line and they embarrassed and discredited you. And LuAnn, you are NO Michelle Obama!

    Ok, should really save something for the full cap but I also LOVED when Carole one-upped LuAnn about owning racks of designer clothes. LuAnn didn’t even comprehend that since she’s such a 15min celebrity grabbing at giveaways. I think that was the best moment of unintentional out-classing the Princess has done yet! (And poor deposed Lady Morgan in the background babbling, “that’s really not that impressive”, sad and amusing!)

    These bitches need to amp it up. Part 2 better only be about pirate Tomas. I also need them to tape Aviva’s mouth shut. I don’t care to hear her speak again. Is she not afraid of reunions? Damn the luck.

    Bet if she heard that they had a big banner declaring “Yayy Aviva! You made it the 90th floor!” She would have gone.

    Amandalee,
    Aviva has made many choices to make sure everyone knows about her leg, then uses it selectively to 1) get out of things 2) infer that she’s wiser or stronger than other people, and 3) put herself above reproach. She chose to be a model for a large part of her life, and continued to do so on the show, when she could easily do most any other job and no one would know about her leg. And when she flew to St. Bart’s, she was wearing tight jeans and high wedge shoes — hardly the best choice for someone who wants to escape a flaming plane, and also very telling. Her story now is just part of her vanity — she whips it out whenever she wants to feel above other people.

    True indeed Lab! It would tough to choose between youthful looks and alcohol so if Ramona can be perpetually drunk and look so good, there’s hope for us all

    I also think that Adiva is jealous of Ramona’s success. Ramona didn’t marry it. She made it and the only small crack Adiva can see to slime through is Ramona’s love of the grape.

    There is no way that Ramona looks as good as she does and be as successful as she is if she showed up drunk for work. I think Ramona works hard and plays hard. When Adiva said that she wanted a breakfast meeting with Ramona so she could catch her sober, I thought that was just a bitter bitch talking and I imagined that Ramona had already been up for hrs working; as opposed to Adiva who was choosing which fur collar to wear to her intervention with Ramona.

    I can understand Aviva having more surgery to insure a more comfortable and attractive prothesis, but other than that she is the most self righteous, mean spirited, nasty person. I don’t like Carole much either. It seems like she plays both ends against the middle. Reality TV can’t buy you class. Heather is the only one who seems normal. My one wish is to throw Aviva and Alix McCord in a closet and see who comes out alive.

    Bet if she heard that they had a big banner declaring “Yayy Aviva! You made it the 90th floor!” She would have gone. OMG. You’re SO right! That’s right up there with Heather’s comment that asking Aviva to wear the jacket wasn’t like she was “asking her to walk down the runway wearing a strap-on.” MWAHAHAHA

    I hope the full recap has a screen shot of the last face Ramona made in this portion of the reunion. I’ll need to look at it again and again to figure out what emotion she’s trying to portray but it’s definitely worth a re-look. Was it smugness? Confusion? Jealousy? Crazy Bitchitude? Diarrhea?

    Who *is* Old-Guy-In-Hat? He’s at Carole’s party and is he also the guy that was playing ping pong? Has the rule about always removing a hat indoors been replaced with “always-keep-your-bald-spot-covered”?

    Check out these 3 scenes at the end of the party when Carole’s book is being toasted.
    1. Crowd scene – OGIH in the center.
    2. Cut to Carole.
    3. Cut back immediately to crowd scene. Everyone in same position, except that OGIH has vanished!

    Note to Countless and Jz-ack: if the lady is too tired to stand during a short presentation, the gent should get up and offer her his chair. There are times when sitting on your guy’s lap may be necessary. When you’re too drunk to stand on your own, or when you feel the need to demonstrate how much in love you are to people who know you entertain Italian pirates during the night.

    I didn’t read the countless’s book, Do as I Say, Not as I Do, but I do know this. If no one else in a group is doing something, you probably shouldn’t do it either. (Following this simple rule will help you avoid such faux pas as eating a stalk of celery with your fork and knife, drinking the contents of a finger bowl, or doing the splits on a table where people eat.)

    If Carole’s funky upper lip was the result of having an implant removed, wouldn’t it have been more noticeable throughout the entire season? It didn’t appear to me that she had an implant before the reunion.

    Did this possible explanation make anyone else wonder what Taylor would look like if they removed her implant? Would the upper lip collapse into her mouth?

    Great mini cap BSL! I was having a really rotten day and then I read 3 words which made me snort my ice tea all over my laptop…..”Chatty Cathy Leg.”……sighh……thanks for the wonderful laugh!

    Actually all of you commenters here are extremely witty and funny!

    Watched this again, and Carole’s lip looks one of two things – a really bad filler where they just filled the center portion of the lip, or a mass of cold sores about to erupt.

    I did get the impression though, watching the whole (gasp) designer dress controversy that Heather was maybe trying to start something. Her comment of how really uncomfortable (and a really big hassle) it was for a designer to loan out things makes me wonder if anyone would ever take a dress on loan again and how irate she got when the Countess appreciated Aviva’s explanation. Caroles comment during talking head didn’t chastise Lu as much for her offer to showcase one of the dresses in a magazine and it did Lu “Friend Jumping”. Besides that, I thought that Heather designed underwear. How often do people ask to borrow her underwear?

    I do like Lu’s new hair style.
