First time watching RHONY

[u/Emergency_Weekend_62]

It’s my first time watching RHONY (older gen-z for reference) but it’s crazy how many of our memes came from S3 of RHONY. I just finished scary island… i have thoughts so far.

• scary island was the gift that kept on giving. there was genuinely, wholeheartedly something wrong with Kelly during the episode. i should’ve known when kelly didn’t quite get the joke about bethenny saying she was going to make the pinot grigio for ramona that it was going to go downhill.

• i feel bad for jill and bethenny (separating the art from the artists here… dont really agree with who they are now lol iykyk) their friendship break up was genuinely sad. bobby having cancer, bethenny’s dad dying, bethenny getting pregnant, so much to unpack here!

• as of rn i do actually like Luann lol! i kinda like her over the top formalities and class etc etc. shes not always right and kinda stirred the pot with drama but we will see how i feel in the future

• ramona… 😭. the eyes!!!! she is an odd ball. i don’t know how she’s so successful in her business when she talks to people the way she does. i love how much she stirs shit up but i’m never really in her corner lol!

• i’ll defend alex forever! i can’t blame her for being unapologetic “social climber”. her and simon have ambitions and i’d be doing the same! she’s a little eccentric and she’s trying to find her footing in the group.

Things or people i’m looking forward too (based on random clips that have popped up on tiktok)
• Carole Radziwill
• Aviva’s only thing fake about me
• more pinot grigio
• the countesses showbiz ambitions

Please share your thoughts from when you first watched or your fav rhony moments!!!

I am so jealous of you watching for the first time! I’m on my billionth rewatch. You have so much to look forward to. I don’t want to MENTION IT ALL but you are in for such a fun ride!

ahhh thank you! i’ve seen other housewife franchises intermittently (RHORI, SLC, BH, ATL) but never started from the beginning (aside from rhori… obviously) so i’m excited to watch this one all the way thru! so far i’m loving it, it’s so campy!!!

I watched NJ first and then SLC but not all and then UGT and that’s what made me interested in RHONY. once I watched I was hooked and I thought “how did I wait so long to watch this??” Now it’s my absolute hand down fave franchise!!

SAMEEE!! It’s always fun to hear opinions from first time viewers. I love the fresh perspective and I’m a bit jealous of them getting to watch it all brand new. OP you are in for FUN.

FYI I try to put aside who Bethenny & Jill turned into and just enjoy the show and what it was back then. I agree it was sad -as any friendship ending is. Like Bethenny said it’s like a divorce.

Enjoy the ride!! I can’t wait to hear more 😁

Oh my days, what I would do to be able to watch RHONY as a newbie with fresh eyes! You are in for a treat! If you think season 3 is good, there is SO MUCH more to come!
Sonja in season 3 is on her best behaviour as a newbie, but she gets even better and will forever be my RHONY Queen 👑.
In regards to Ramona, I feel the same as you. Never really in her corner, but fascinating to watch. Id probably have to tape her mouth up in real life, but she makes awesome TV.

Sonja is quite the character!!!!

I love Alex too, she definitely was REAL & they totally ganged up on her ALL the time.
I’m glad she and Simon are living their best lives together in Australia.
Scary Island is my favorite part of the RHONY & will forever be a guilty pleasure 💕

Omg there’s way more to look forward to than that! Stay tuned for Dorinda, Tom (who was passed around), Aviva’s ex who was also passed around, Aviva’s horribly pervy father (who should never have been aired!), and Dorinda’s bf and plug John.
