I would like to introduce you now to the Mermaid Photoshoot.
It is so named because of the mermaid photoshoot that happens at Ramonas Hamptons manse, Hot Flash Manor.
But just look at what happens.
At least we can take the consolation that Ramonas pool is heated.
You know that Ramona Singer has a heated pool.
Speaking of Ramona, this episode brings us even more evidence of her awful flirting.
For a lifelong resident of New York City you would think that her gaydar would be better than this.
(Taught by me, not the hot tennis pro.)
Ramonas skills are, well, rough.
She just wanted to manufacture a reason to get the cameras there.
The only thing Bethenny loves more than herself is showing off her growing real-estate empire on basic cable.
The bifurcation of the group while in the same small beach community after Labor Day is completely ridiculous.
Why werent they having dinner all together?
Is it because the producers knew theyd get more footage this way?
Is it because this season has absolutely nothing?
I mean, were already two episodes in and we havent even gotten to this fucking clambake already.
Stop stretching it out already.
I will say that I do have more sympathy for Luann.
Does that mean they should be rude to other people?
No, but I get the impulse.
What I find really distasteful is Ramona and Dorinda sitting around judging how Luann handles her sobriety.
Sadly, addiction isnt cured like a bout of eczema, where its the same for every person.
Recovery is individual and takes all sorts of different forms.
Some people go to meetings every day, some never go to meetings.
Some people needs to go to rehab eight times, some need to go for only 14 days.
There is no right way or wrong way to do it.
(Ive told Giuliana Rancic a million times that Im sorry and I didnt know.)
Now she literally tells Barbara they need to intervene with Dorinda.
The only thing worse than someone who is critical of sobriety is an AA proselytizer.
Lets just let everyone do their own work and butt out of it, shall we?
Instead what were getting is a procedural battle, like something that would happen on the floor of Congress.
Luann thinks that Dorinda should call her and apologize before they can see each other.
Dorinda thinks that Luann is the one that should apologize.
Yeah, shouting into the phone sure is a way to prove shes not upset.
For this air biscuit of a fight laid by a troll with indigestion?
Aviva Drescher decided that the time was not now.
Something better had to be coming along … and soon.
