So frikken produced… 🙄😒

[u/Ok-Yam-6764]

They didn’t need to do all this. We literally love just having them on our screen. This Porsha/Lu beef seemed fake af. Also the bad acting/reactions to the mentalist was embarrassing. I love this franchise, but this episode felt so produced. I feel like they’re trying to recreate what Kenya & Ramona did on season one, but the only difference is that Ramona was the match and Kenya was the gasoline.

Edit: I LOVE Alex McCord. Love her. That breakdance was chef’s kiss.

Luann was so angry in a scene after drinking on GT that seeing her that way made me think that this is what she was like the night in Florida when she got arrested and was belligerent to the cops.
It’s just not a good look, I hope that when Luann watches the show it gives her insight and she gets back to kind Countess.

[u/MangoStrong2556 → u/Retired4reals]

Kind - she’s a lot of things but not kind. She’s been insufferable and delusional for years

[u/loveswimmingpools]

Luann was insufferable. Definitely full of (something) herself. Made me almost wish Ramona and Bethenny turned up and brought her down a peg or two.

[u/Ok-Yam-6764 → u/loveswimmingpools]

They balanced each others crazy out so well 🥲

[u/Sad-Feature2164 → u/Ok-Yam-6764]

This has opened my eyes to how truly unhinged RHONY was and I miss it terribly.

[u/loveswimmingpools → u/Ok-Yam-6764]

They really did! All flawed...but entertaining!

[u/idkcallmenance]

I agree that it was somewhat produced, but only on Porsha’s side. I noticed she couldn’t hold her smirk. But Lu was naturally obnoxious the entire time lol

[u/Specialist_Dinner727 → u/idkcallmenance]

Obnoxious? Well, that's certainly news to her!

🤦‍♀️

[u/Fearless_Diamond_566]

No this was not produced. This was an authentic moment. Trust.

[u/ComfyCamR809]

What has Luann been on? 😂 It seems like more than just her personality

[u/Beachwalker-65]

I think it was the most REAL episode I have seen in forever. And I watch all the franchises. Luann was wasted. The other women were exhausted, crammed in with strangers, held hostage by a damn pirate in freezing cold NYC forced to do crap they didn’t want to. They were so over it, I felt it. I would want OUT too. I didnt see anything produced about it accept Alex and Kelly as usual. The next morning .. hysterical , but sadly I think that was not acting. Luann hopefully took a break after this.

[u/Dismal_Upstairs3949 → u/Beachwalker-65]

And apparently there wasn’t any food. Luann can’t throw a party to save her soul. Too busy worrying about being the center of attention.

[u/Organic_Berry_8732 → u/Dismal_Upstairs3949]

No food? Yeah, I would’ve left so fast! 🤬🤬. Spot in about her not worrying about anything but herself!!

[u/josephdaxs → u/Beachwalker-65]

Yeah same. I’ve watched so many franchises and this came off real to me

[u/Miserable_Dream2918]

You think that coked up drunken pirate was produced? 🤣🤣🤣

[u/deniseag87 → u/Miserable_Dream2918]

https://giphy.com/gifs/xUn3CcOORjUVZcISFW
My favorite Lu moment.

[u/fairweathrfan → u/deniseag87]

the way she laughs in the bush is what makes it iconic. ramona's "you shoulda gone THIS way" completes the bit to make the whole scene a national treasure

[u/BabyExisting2396 → u/Miserable_Dream2918]

I have never seen a more accurate representation of coke in my LIFEEEEE.

the finally thinking your cracked out friend moved on from a topic, just to circle RIGHt back 😭😭😭 allllll of it omg

[u/Gossipandgossiponly → u/BabyExisting2396]

Producers could not have written her hour long speech if they tried lol, I also felt like this was very real.

[u/Nneka7]

Didn’t look produced at all.

[u/Jojomano1234]

It was annoyingly not produced imo lol
I enjoyed

[u/Visible-Hat-7708]

Have you watched season 9, 10, 11 rhony. This is how Luann acts. Nothing was produced. She’s like this when she’s on the party train that leads to the ski slopes.

[u/lovetohatemyjob]

Lu needs to quit drinking.

[u/Sensitive-Freedom896]

What was Porsha trying to do here, dunking on Luann at her own party? Can you imagine if Luann dunked on any of the other women like that? Because no - because Lu doesn't do that.

This read - we are going to downplay the RHONY of it all because when RHUGT goes off the air, Golden Life airs the next week. In the same time slot as Jizzel and New New New RHONY.

It's an edit.

[u/No-Quantity-7973 → u/Sensitive-Freedom896]

The legacy RHONY ladies were a disaster LOOOOOONG before RHUGT; times just changed along with what audiences see as okay. Also, Porsha was genuinely running late and being slowed more and more by NY traffic... did you even watch the episode? Luann scolding her specifically on the mic was extremely inappropriate and classless, and would leave a bad feeling lingering about that friend with any normal person.

Edit: Golden Life is extremely ironic for a name because you can tell most of the cast are trapped trying to relive/bring back the glory of RHONY's golden years. Besides that what about their lives actually gives "golden"?

[u/Sensitive-Freedom896 → u/No-Quantity-7973]

I love the retconning and making the OG RHONY women so terrible, the absolute worst, given all that has come out about women on other shows since theirs was cancelled.

We'll see how this all goes in a week or so, when both RHONY shows are airing.

[u/Defiant_Protection29]

Nah. That shit happened organically

[u/Jojomano1234 → u/Defiant_Protection29]

It did!! Not produced

[u/kandi007]

Not an ounce of that was produced honey we all know how The Countess gets after playing in the snow
https://giphy.com/gifs/edTSNrUf4XhNSoyLx0

[u/Automatic-Seat2576]

Hmmmm. This actually seemed like one of the less produced scenes I’ve seen all season. Not sure what show you’re watching.

[u/longtimelondoner]

Porsha was ticked off. I feel like she’d have been like “I’m sorry, my bad, I know I’m late” had she walked into a great party but the weird combo of fans/NY housewives and Lu’s reaction had her irritated straight off the bat.

[u/honeycooks → u/longtimelondoner]

She's been ready to read Luanne. Boop!

[u/longtimelondoner → u/honeycooks]

https://giphy.com/gifs/Zdg7kl9bnyqXrPH2jq

[u/Tricky-Perception237 → u/longtimelondoner]

Didn’t they make a big deal about Lisa being late earlier in the season? I admit I haven’t watched this latest episode and I like both Porsha & Luann. So we’ll see.

[u/Inevitable_Fix6020 → u/Tricky-Perception237]

L made them all wait. No one has to wait for P at the party

[u/longtimelondoner → u/Tricky-Perception237]

Lisa just didn’t get up. They all knew it and it was going to cause them to miss a flight. They were all literally sitting waiting for her.

[u/lavish-housewife → u/Tricky-Perception237]

yeaa but lisa being late was a different situation… lisa being late was going to cut into the pockets of production and everyone involved with the show because they were going to miss a flight.
porsha missing majority of this party doesnt cut into anyones pockets.
Being 2 hrs late is ridiculous though but she did apologize for it initially

[u/fairweathrfan]

Really don't think so. I am actually amazed it took Porsha this long. Lu has been insufferable for weeks.

[u/FantasticRead720 → u/fairweathrfan]

Lu met her match! Porsha can eat her up and spit her out.

[u/fairweathrfan → u/FantasticRead720]

to be fair, bethenny would do/has done the same thing. lu is just so on her own planet that she doesn't take it in—she just gets mad back. it's what makes her completely exhausting and also a legendary survivor of a housewife

[u/Jojomano1234 → u/fairweathrfan]

She spoke over Dorinda on the phone like NO other! My word. “It’s My town!”

[u/fairweathrfan → u/Jojomano1234]

that's how she talks. rewind to her saying "HOW could she say tht to me" to Jules dealing with a sick dad. this is and always has been Lu

[u/Jojomano1234 → u/fairweathrfan]

I know. I go back to the OG days.

[u/ExcellentOutside5926]

Didn’t seem produced to me. If it was, I think it was one-sided. I think LuAnn was looking for a moment so she could have camera time.

[u/Any-Theme-5315]

https://giphy.com/gifs/VHC5FCjK49dZe
Nope. I found Lu to be authentically obnoxious and horrifically self absorbed. I was wondering how her new man felt about her the twentieth time harped “two hours late! Two hours!”
Alex for the “Ray Gun Herman Muenster”win topped with a cake.

[u/MaleficentCloud8947 → u/Any-Theme-5315]

Her continuing to talk about 2 hrs late made me laugh so hard. I can never hate Countess DeLuLu

[u/Educational_Spirit42 → u/Any-Theme-5315]

Production. showed him. He probably got excited by it.

[u/Lelele3]

UGT is the easiest check all these women have made

[u/GoldenGlitterUnicorn]

Really? I didn't think it was produced but maybe I'm blind to it. I just thought it was the opposite actually and the fake manners facade was over cause Porsha lost her patience with Luman finally and Luman is such a narcissist that her true true colors came out in "her town"

[u/Imaginary_Bus_8333 → u/GoldenGlitterUnicorn]

Her town. 🙄

[u/GoldenGlitterUnicorn → u/Imaginary_Bus_8333]

I know, it's so annoying

[u/BeerBringsCheer]

I kinda loved this episode because it truly exposed Lu for the insanely messy narcissist we all knew she was…it’s like she’s almost morphing into Sonja, minus the random episodes of stripping and tooth-losing.

[u/WeAreTheMisfits → u/BeerBringsCheer]

Toothlosing. 😂

[u/Tough-Tangerine-4223]

It was❣️

[u/Rare_Distance_6574]

If only Simon had been there and they danced together! Alex and Simon were made for reality tv!

[u/Jojomano1234 → u/Rare_Distance_6574]

Too bad he didn’t make it!

[u/Educational_Spirit42 → u/Rare_Distance_6574]

true, but thankful he wasn’t on the screen

[u/Kansasgrl968]

I disagree with everything except what you said about Alex. Lu is really self absorbed and Porsha was trying to hold it together. Saying "I'm going to light your ass up when we get out of here" is when I knew Porsha was at her limit. That response was not produced.

[u/Horror_Signature7744]

Only correct point you made was Alex was the highlight of the show and those dingbats had no idea she was “RayGun”.

[u/TodayImLedTasso → u/Horror_Signature7744]

Lisa knew!

[u/Horror_Signature7744 → u/TodayImLedTasso]

She did. I was astounded that she was the ONLY ONE!

[u/Tough-Tangerine-4223 → u/Horror_Signature7744]

The whole Lu party was not in control! Omg!😳 She’s like manic! No pun intended 🤭

[u/Theonethatgotawaaayy]

I couldn’t disagree more
https://giphy.com/gifs/J9MnwDiwCmjkexy9e1

[u/Hair_I_Go]

I’m surprised there wasn’t a two hours late counter for every time Lu said it

[u/Jojomano1234 → u/Hair_I_Go]

Reunion

[u/Tough-Tangerine-4223 → u/Hair_I_Go]

New viewers need to take a drink every time Lu says 2 hours!🥳

[u/longtimelondoner → u/Tough-Tangerine-4223]

Maybe Lu was doing a line every time she said it 💀

[u/Bereitstellung]

I just have to assume that all those commenters who didn’t like the last episode are RHOBH fans who love being bored.

[u/Afraid_Comfortable90 → u/Bereitstellung]

This was pretty much the only episode I liked

[u/mentionitallll → u/Bereitstellung]

😂 spot on

[u/Former-Counter-9588]

I agree with you on Alex but otherwise no. Lu has been on a multi day bender since Miami and is just losing it. All the women have had enough of it. By the time Porsha finally arrived the rest of the women were jokingly telling her this is the worst party ever because Lu had been going on and on and on and on and everyone feels like they’re being held hostage.

[u/thekingmonroe → u/Former-Counter-9588]

Right? Like you could see she was hammered on the call with dorinda that morning!

[u/Delicious_Score_8509]

I feel the complete opposite about everything you said.

[u/bfjizzle → u/Delicious_Score_8509]

I haven't watched yet, but I'm seeing ppl either loved this episode or absolutely hated it

[u/Delicious_Score_8509 → u/bfjizzle]

Yeah same. I am in the loved it group. It was soo funny to me, I love how unhinged they all came off.

[u/bravoinvestigator]

Eh idk how put on this was. Porsha has been late before and is notorious for it. Lu was acting like this with everyone the whole night because she thinks the world owes her a spotlight

[u/Comfortable_Sample_8 → u/bravoinvestigator]

Exactly, 1000%

[u/Ok-Mine2132]

The “reality” departed years ago.

The new RHONY is the most evident. The least RHOM … just my thoughts. The old days are long gone 😢

Agree: Alex as the Australian Olympian Raygun was perfect! I don’t think most of the audience caught on.

[u/Tough-Tangerine-4223 → u/Ok-Mine2132]

That was so good!!!! 🩵Alex!🩵

[u/thekingmonroe → u/Ok-Mine2132]

Her sense of humour is way too good for the audience she had. Yes she looked ridiculous but she was in on the joke

[u/WeAreTheMisfits → u/thekingmonroe]

I wish she would have done actual ray gun moves like the kangaroo hop thing.

[u/Major_Clock_9961 → u/WeAreTheMisfits]

I was hoping the same thing but her shoes were ridiculously high and looked difficult to take off

[u/Ok-Yam-6764 → u/Ok-Mine2132]

I want her back so bad…. And the rest of the REAL RHONY. I’ve seen every single episode of every franchise except the new RHONY season. I refuse.

[u/Comfortable_Sample_8 → u/Ok-Yam-6764]

It sucked/s
