What a bizarre episode of The Real Housewives of New York that was. From sexual iguanas (wtf?) to Sonja Morgan's tampon problem, it was all just a random mix of insanity and rabid confrontations tonight. The kicker to all the crazy was Ramona Singer accusing Jacques of being a fake Frenchmen, which was one of the funniest/strangest things we've seen this season.
He seems a little too slick, and that move he pulled with the wine was shady. You also have to question the integrity and taste of anyone who would choose to be with LuAnn de Lesseps. However, to think that he's faking his Frenchness is hilariously outrageous -- even for Ramona. Hopefully that was the pinot grigio talking and she doesn't really believe it could be true ... though what a great plot line it would be if he really was from Kentucky or something.
Not that the New York ladies are short on drama these days. After Sonja's big toaster oven shoot to which she was not invited, Ramona was livid. At a party to launch her new red wine, she wanted all of the details and pounced when Sonja admitted that Heather Thomson had steamrolled her into not having Ramona present for it. That was all Ramona needed to attack Heather, and basically throw Sonja under the steamroller. (I didn't say it was interesting drama.)
I'm no fan of Heather's but Ramona expecting her to call her to tell her why she wasn't invited was ridiculous. It was Sonja's place if it was anyone's, and Sonja really does need to grow a spine and stop telling everyone what they want to hear. Ramona called Heather a liar and a double talker, and it was on to the next party and the next blow-up .
After Mario confronted Jacques about “The Sneaky Wine Incident” (as it shall be known from now on) last week, I thought they had moved past it, agreeing to disagree as to whether it was a rude, potentially damaging trick to play on Ramona. (It so was!) Well, it seems everyone was ready to move on but Aviva Drescher, who it concerned for absolutely no reason. Still, the minute LuAnn walked in the door, she pounced, demanding to know what her intention was with that whole thing.
It was so out of left field and so inappropriate, but as I've said before, she's a troublemaker and enjoys stirring the pot -- which is exactly what she did.
LuAnn was over it and tried to drag Jacques out of there, but not before Ramona could hear his voice. When they left, she blurted out her misgivings about the authenticity of his accent with Aviva egging her on.
Sneaky Heather was around the corner and heard the whole thing. She stepped forward to defend Jacques's honor, told Mario that his wife was insane (holla!), and another battle began. Meanwhile Carole Radziwill wondered why anyone even cared and perhaps what she was going to do with all of those M&Ms.
Next week, they're off to St. Barth's. With them all getting along this well, it's going to be a trip to remember for sure.
Do you think Jacques could be faking his accent? Which lady was the most out of line tonight?

As always Ramona was the worst Although Sonja needs to stop pitting Heather and Ramona against each other Sonja tells Ramona one thing and Heather another as Heather said she needs to stop sitting on the fence Plus the fact that she asked Heather to help her but made it seem to Ramona that Heather steamrolled her into doing things she did not want to do. For Free no less and kept saying she was her client As far as I know clients pay And Heather started by saying that Ramona was acting crazy which she was then she said to Mario about his crazy wife Hello truth hurts I guess Cant wait till next week when Aviva finally sees Ramona and Sonja for the drunken crazies they are and the shoe is on the other foot and she finds they really aren't who she thought they were
This is all getting too ridiculous. These women all act like children, with the exception of the Princess perhaps - but she is a Princess after all. Ramona's husband is beginning to act as goofy as her only not quite as loudly. Clearly he wants a larger part on the show. This whole scene where Heather is listening to what the group is saying around the corner and then Ramona is sneakily (?) listening behind Heather's back was just so directed. Never have I gone to a party or event where the people there choose to confront each other - all of the time. As far as Ramona being invited to the photo shoot, I can only say that I do not remember Ramon's name even being mentioned. I just remember them saying (and it was not Heather) that no one should attend except Ramona. Also, Ramona got to have the shoot that she wanted and can choose which pics she wants to use. It makes little difference because these boxes will it sit on the shelves forever and ever and ever. I do not see a big Christmas rush for this product.
This whole franchise has turned into one giant commercial. Wine, toaster ovens, shapewear, albums, books, makeup, jewelry, purses, ugh...
I think I have finally had it with the housewives. To say that the dinner party was vulgar and disgusting, to say that every one of the attendees is classless and stupid doesn't go far enough to comment on their bad behaviour. It is becoming painful to watch these stupid drunken women. I have a suggestion Bravo, Housewives in Rehab.
This show is getting ridiculous. When they got rid of Jill, Kelly & company they should have added Ramona and Sonja to the list and left Aviva out of the show as well. Who truly acts like this at parties except for maybe some 8th grade girls??
Mario won't let it go. Aviva won't let it go. Why didn't they make a bigger deal about it at the time? It was the ONLY time I ever felt sorry for Ramona and the only time she has EVER handled anything well. The little bit with the yoga session and Avery was classic Ramona. She cannot shut up or stop thinking about herself. That poor kid. How about when Ramona admitted at Carole's (when she was badgering Aviva to go to St. Barth's) that she, too, has mental problems? No kidding, Ramona? Ya coulda fooled me! Next week looks fantastic. How can I stop watching? I feel superior to them all in every way, including Princess Carole, who is a snoozer if you ask me.
Wow must have been tired when I wrote my comment. I meant to say that Sonja got to have the photo shoot that she wanted - for free. Also the only thing that I remember being said is that Sonja should not bring anyone else with her. I do not remember anyone mentioning Ramona's name period. Sonja just does not understand business and she needs to think about doing something else for a living - like throwing parties, or dancing or ?????.
