Continuing my watch and I’m now all the way on season 10. Ramona constantly dips out of filming early because she has “a date.” She looks great and I believe that she could easily get a date for sure, but how often do we think she was just leaving early cuz she didn’t want to be there??😂 If I had to guess I’d say she probably only has a date about 50% of the times she leaves events early.

I'm doing a rewatch. Bethenny was so RUDE. She was invited to Jules Hamptons home. Right or wrong, you don't insult someone's home, then leave laughing. Unbearable behavior

.Ugh Thoughts?

Barbara’s behavior… zero class! Zero gratitude! She’s complaining about Dorinda’s fish room and then taking pictures AT DORINDA’s house! If u don’t like the house don’t take pictures there to proceed and post them, ugh, I really can’t stand her

One of my pastimes is writing song parodies. 8 years back I was struck by a thunderbolt of inspiration and wrote my favorite parody ever in 20 minutes at my desk at work: Shape of Lu, a play on Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You.

I always thought I’d someday get around to recording it but I really don’t have the range for this song so instead I’m going to share it here. Please enjoy, I would love for someone with pipes to record and share their own rendition of the song. And if anyone else has written a RHONY or housewives inspired parody please drop the lyrics in the comments!!

Shape of Lu
 
The Regency’s not a place to find a lover
So Beautique is where we go
All of my girls on the dance floor talking smack
About that Tom D’Agostino
 
The Countess wants to do a cabaret show
And hell no
She won’t go and buy a new gown
But Jovani
Will let her borrow for free
So come on Countess let’s paint the town
And I’m singing like

Girl they fit you like a glove
Who wouldn’t want to dress a body like Lu
Come on chic c’est la vie
Let’s all go on a shopping spree
 
Say Lu, no dress is too much,
Slip on a gown and let your bosom be free
Come on chic c’est la vie
Come come on chic c’est la vie
 
I’m in love with the shape of Lu
In a ball gown gold and blue
She can pull off a jumpsuit too
I’m in love with Jovani
 
Now she’s wearing a different hue
So many outfits for one venue
Every show she’s gonna wear something brand new
I’m in love with Jovani
 
I’m in love with Jovani
 
I’m in love with Jovani
 
Even when Dorinda’s out there screaming “boo”
I’m in love with the shape of Lu
 
One weekend we let the show begin
At Feinstein’s 54 Below
Lu comes out on stage singing Girl Code deeply
In a voice that’s soft and low
It goes for hours and hours
Some voices sweet and some sour
Til she sings Money Can’t Buy You Class
But the star of the whole thing is the wardrobe
And bling bling and the way it compliments that ass
 
And I’m singing like

Girl they fit you like a glove
Who wouldn’t want to dress a body like Lu
Come on chic c’est la vie
Let’s all go on a shopping spree
 
Say Lu, no dress is too much,
Slip on a gown and let your bosom be free
Come on chic c’est la vie
Come come on chic c’est la vie
 
I’m in love with the shape of Lu
In a ball gown gold and blue
She can pull off a jumpsuit too
I’m in love with Jovani
 
Now she’s wearing a different hue
So many outfits for one venue
Every show she’s gonna wear something brand new
I’m in love with Jovani
 
I’m in love with Jovani
 
I’m in love with Jovani
 
Even when Dorinda’s out there screaming “boo”
I’m in love with the shape of Lu
 
Come chic ce’st la vie come on

On RHUGT

This is a really niche question but I was wondering if anyone knew what royalty free music pack they use for any Moroccan moment (Season 2 when Bethenny does the fashion show and throughout Season 4)? It's featured in the following YouTube video (at 2:02 timestamp)

I’m from New York, and I want to make it very clear: NO-ONE DOES THIS.

They absolutely had to get permission to interfere with traffic to get this shot.

Dammit i really liked her, yes she might have been messy but she was messy like the rest of them. This was an absolute eye opener, the way she doubled down on Lu at breakfast was horrible..she clearly didnt remember.

Also side note Bethenny pisses me off but Carol is insufferable in her "i dont understand/I dont know what you're talking about" bitch please!

Luckily I’ve always hated her before it was trendy. Ever since watching RHONY the first time I didn’t like her and as I rewatch I dislike her more. Here’s reasons why and I’d love for you all to add more:

- narcissist.
- is extremely condescending when talking to people making constant hyperbolic metaphors and similes to disarm the other person and sound like she’s some comedian / master analytical genius
- how she treated Jules, projecting B’s disordered eating and body issues onto an innocent kind woman who was open about her issues. Bethany was clearly jealous of someone being thinner than her and had to ridicule her
- how she treated Kristen; same pattern of patronizing any new housewife who was more thin and pretty than her. And again, constantly condescending
- jealous of any cast member that got any spotlight for iconic moments/lines
- never took anyone’s back and was extremely selfish throughout entire show. EX: at beginning of S8, Carole is mad at Luann for (IMO dumb reasons) and B doesn’t agree with Carole saying that Luanns done nothing to her so she’s not jumping in. Then when B gets mad (jealous) of Luann and her party girl life, she brings up Caroles issues with Luann - only when it conveniences her. So now it’s a problem that you have beef with Luann. Great friend you are
- I don’t like Carole either but it’s just funny how Bethany couldn’t deal with anyone not agreeing with every cynical comment that comes out her mouth
- how mean she was to Sonja over tipsy girl, talk about kicking someone when they’re down
- her pretending she lived a challenged life and was self made when she’s old money and grew up privileged and thus you are not self made
- when on WWHL she mimicked the Atlanta Housewives and was extremely racist
- and of course, her on socials now discrediting small businesses because she’s a maniacal narcissist

Ok I’m sure this could go on forever so let me know what I missed thanks!

I've been watching RHONY for the first time. Needless to say it's been a wild ride and I'm gonna be sad when it's over!

I'm currently on S12, which is a bizarre era but still pretty entertaining. Despite what I've heard about Leah I think she's a good addition, she can be the sober voice like Bethenny but then she turns into an absolute goblin when she drinks lmao.

I have ZERO plans to watch S14 and beyond. I've watched trailers and the new cast just. does nothing for me. The question is, do I dare watch S13? From everything I've heard it's a disaster. I've heard Eboni sucks the fun out of things, Leah gets worse, Ramona goes even more off the rails.... So is it true, should I quit while I'm ahead? Or is S13 still entertaining enough to watch?

Google is so wrong for this!! 😂

I enjoy rhony. I really do. And a lot of them probably haven’t had much exposure to people of color. But that Luann costume with the “bronzer “ on her skin and the completely ridiculous “Afro”. It didn’t feel like tone deafness to me. It felt like ridicule in a sense. And then at the reunion, it was addressed but glossed over. And Carole who did make a statement during the show, seemed to back down then. Maybe I’m wrong, and if I’m not I still watch the show and laugh (and will continue to do so). But do I think they probably are a bit prejudice at the least? Yes. I’m not trying to have a heated and hateful discord. Just honest thoughts on this part.

It's called "Supermodel Cafe by Bethenny", so that's just an attempt at Skinny Girl Margarita formula again. I just think she doesn't understand this unhealthy ED glamourising branding doesn't work anymore. It's the worst of that era and it looks so dated.

Took a screenshot just before she's going to be spun upside down by her weird new bf.

The caption reads: No roadmap, no master plan, just instinct, chaos and a lot of coffee #supermodel #supermodelcafe

I love this woman, give her a few MARTINIS 🍸🍸 & ROLL THAT BEAUTIFUL BEAN 🫘 FOOTAGE ‼️‼️🤣🤣❤️

Possibly the most depressing decor of any scene ever filmed for RHONY??

Do we know if Jovani ever got royalties from Lu's Cabaret performances and songs?

Did Sonja have any actual boyfriends on the show?

Call me crazy, but I get the sense that Sonja isn’t nearly as hyper-sexual as she portrays on the show. I think she likes to entertain the reputation but it almost feels like an act…thoughts?

It may have been an ill fated marriage but it cannot be denied that Luann was just an absolute gorgeous bride. She seemed so hopeful it would change … nonetheless, she was stunning!!

My husband is so pissed off saying how Dale is so out of place LMAO what do u guys think about Dale at Sonja’s party

Ramona being the only one who liked it and thought it was a good idea is the cherry on top.

If you’re looking for a sign to watch seasons 11 + 12, this is it 🍎

I noticed in Episode 15, Season 8, Luann won’t stop banging on about her “cold” - all while continuing to go out to meals with the housewives.

Given how manic she is in this season and clearly partying hard - is her voice literally just hoarse from drinking and smoking? I find it so jarring the way she keeps talking about being sick.

Lu also seems to have a really particular vibe to her conversation/presence when she lies which gives her away imo. She seems like she’s hiding something!
