Lifetime’s Reality TV Summer Premieres – Little Women: Couples Retreat, Growing Up Supermodels, Dance Moms, And More
Yesterday, to kick off the first official day of summer, Lifetime announced its reality TV summer premieres.
In addition to a brand new Little Women: LA spinoff, Little Women: Couples Retreat, we have the return of both Dance Moms and Project Runway to look forward to. As for new reality TV shows, get ready for So Sharp, featuring the University of Louisville Dance Team, and Growing Up Supermodels. Look below for more about each premiere.
Little Women: LA: Couples Retreat – Premieres July 26 at 9pm ET/PT
“From coast to coast, the Little Women cast has dealt with it all when it comes to their love lives. Now at crossroads in their relationships LA’s Tonya and Kerwin, Briana and Matt, and Christy and Todd, meet up with Atlanta’s Tiny Twinz Andrea and Amanda and their boyfriends Chris and Jordan. New York’s Lila and her love interest Brian and the Big Appel’s Jazim and David also join the crew. With the help of a relationship guide, the couples work to better themselves, while participating in adventurous excursions that push them out of their comfort zones and force them to face their issues head on. As the curtain is pulled back, some will reach their breaking point while some may fall deeper in love.”
So Sharp – Premieres July 26 at 10pm ET/PT
“There’s a new force to be reckoned with on the dance floor – Todd Sharp is the coach of the University of Louisville Dance Team, the Ladybirds, and he’s driven, precise and over-the-top. The team has over 15 national championships under their belt and with this year’s nationals fast approaching, Todd will push the ladies to another victory, even if it kills him. More than just a drill sergeant, these elite athletes count on Todd to be their guidance counselor, surrogate father, and the head-bitch-in-charge who ultimately makes them shine.”
Dance Moms – Premieres August 1 at 9pm ET/PT
“With Abby Lee Miller‘s future uncertain, guest choreographers Cheryl Burke, Lauriann Gibson, Aisha Francis, and Miranda Maleski step in to help lead the girls to victory. Will this be Abby’s last dance? A divide between the OG dancers and the new girls and their moms also come to a head when Christi and Chloe step back onto the dance floor.”
Growing Up Supermodels – Premieres August 15 at 10pm ET/PT
“Growing Up Supermodel follows a new group of hot young models risking it all to live up to the careers of their famous parents. With the names and the genes of their gorgeous parents on their side, these celebrity offspring seem destined to make it to the top, but the right DNA is only half the battle in this competitive world. These young models are finding out that making a career is hard work, and having a famous name is a double-edged sword, creating expectations and burdens at the same time it generates opportunities. Meanwhile, the parents, whose success has paved the way, discover that being a star is much easier than raising one.”
Project Runway – Premieres August 17 at 8pm ET/PT
“Fashion powerhouses Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Nina Garcia, and Zac Posen reunite once again for the return of Project Runway for its super sweet 16th season. The show will be busting at the seams with guest judges, unconventional challenges and time constraints, there is no telling who will be the next praiseworthy designer that has the threads to cut, sew and find a way to make their design sketches come to life.”

Ashley Darby Says Karen Huger’s Baggage Will Follow Her To Great Falls
In her Real Housewives of Potomac blog this week, Ashley Darby breaks down the conclusion and the aftermath of the Bermuda trip.
On Charrisse Jackson-Jordan confronting Karen Huger, Ashley shares, “Come through with the laser tongue, Mrs. Jackson! I had no idea Karen and Charrisse were feuding so hard, and I knew gosh darn well it wasn’t over planning a girls’ trip to Bermuda. This was meant to be a time of bonding and getting away from the pressures we are all dealing with at home, but the longstanding drama between these two showed through. I think Charrisse and Karen think they are big fish who are fighting for dominance in a small pond.”
Speaking of pressures at home, Ashley has two very big ones: her restaurant, Oz, and her husband, Michael. Ashley says her trip to Bermuda gave her some much needed Ashley time. “It’s hard to love and care for others when you’re not in a good space with yourself, and laughing and dancing in Bermuda allowed me to do just that.”
With that said, Ashley admits in her blog that she “almost blew a gasket” when Michael told her he changed her title at Oz. “I am open to making changes but communication is essential to any relationship, both personal and professional, so it stung to hear Michael had made changes in my absence. At the same time, I have to remember Michael is my business partner and makes decisions in the best interest of the restaurant, and my ego needs to take a back seat. I appreciate him thinking of ways to separate the business from our personal life in order to keep the love we have for each other burning bright.”
Moving on to Karen being so secretive about her move to Great Falls, Ashley snarks, “You would think Karen is housing the Hope Diamond with the amount of mystery surrounding her move.” Ashley adds, “For a woman who proudly boasts about ‘owning her stuff,’ it’s odd that Karen is secretive about moving from her beloved Potomac so quickly and mysteriously. She may be able to run to Great Falls but whatever she’s dodging will follow her there too.”
Finally, Ashley hopes Charrisse enjoys her much-deserved champagne room. But, no matter how luxurious it is, Ashley doesn’t expect Karen to hand her “Grande Dame” title over to Charrisse. “Charrisse did the damn thang with that champagne room! It’s classy and elegant – befit for a woman who has been a wife and mother for many years, and is now taking some time to think about herself. I hope she sits on that plush, white chair, booty butt naked, with a glass of chilled Veuve Clicquot, and feels confident in herself. I’m not sure Karen will part with the title of Grande Dame; they may need to duke it out over a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.”

Ramona Singer Is “Totally Embarrassed” By How She Treated Bethenny Frankel In The Berkshires; Blames Production For Trashing Dorinda Medley’s House
In a not-so-shocking turn of events, Ramona Singer is getting on a lot of people’s nerves this season on Real Housewives of New York and the Berkshires trip did some irreversible damage – to Dorinda Medley‘s home and her relationship with Bethenny Frankel. Ramona refuses to take any responsibility for wrecking Dorinda’s Berkshires house, but surprisingly enough she is actually sorry about the way she treated Bethenny.
Either way, Ramona is way out of her league with both Dorinda and Bethenny against her at this point. She may be an OG of RHONY, but she’s not equipped to handle this by any means.
Before getting into her issues with Dorinda and Bethenny, Ramona inadvertently addressed her “interaction” with Tom D’Agostino while she was playing a game on Watch What Happens Live. The premise was innocuous enough with Ramona giving her opinions on the interior design of homes on RHONY, but then Ramona had a slip of the tongue when Tom’s apartment was shown.
Ramona said, “When I dated him I was there.” Ummm what? Ramona has always downplayed her time with Tom. She turned bright red, stumbled on her words, and then backtracked by saying, “I was there for the Christmas party. It’s a beautiful apartment.” Andy wasn’t really buying that though.
Several viewers asked Ramona about the damage to Dorinda’s house. She adamantly declared, “Actually I didn’t trash.”
Ramona insisted, “Production left up these really heavy lights – the size that you could see them in like a football field. Even they do lights in my house, they take them down and they strip off the paint. So some of the paint got stripped off. It upset her because her husband left her that home, but they did a whole brand new paint job.”
RELATED: Dorinda Medley Is Hoping For An Apology From Ramona Singer & Sonja Morgan
Then she backtracked (again) and admitted, “I couldn’t sleep. It was three in the morning and I was tired. I couldn’t find the plug so I said, ‘let me take them down.’ That’s how you take them down: they’re taped up and you take them off.” So she did take them down. So it is her fault. No matter how you slice it, Ramona is the culprit. She either carelessly took down the lights or straight up trashed the room. Either way, she owes Dorinda an apology and a payment for the damages.
Even though Ramona has no regrets about ruining Dorinda’s walls, she does seem to feel bad about ruining her friendship with Bethenny. Or maybe she realizes how bad she looks in these episodes? Or she’s afraid of going against Bethenny? Either way, she’s bowing down to Queen B and owning it.
A viewer asked, “Looking back on the Berkshires, do you have any regret or remorse on how you treated Bethenny?” Ramona admitted, “Absolutely, I was totally embarrassed after I did what I did. I just lost it because I was really hurt. I should have just walked away. Instead I did the immature thing of lashing back and trying to hurt her. It was definitely very embarrassing and I wish I never did it.” I’m sure she does. Being on Bethenny’s bad side is a horrible place to be.
At this point, it looks like Ramona is going to have a lot to answer for at the reunion this year. Because, this is season is that boring so far that Ramona ruining a wall and one argument are top story lines. In my opinion, Dorinda’s wild rants against Sonja Morgan have been the most entertaining parts of the season, and thankfully it looks like we will blessed with another one next week.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK RAMONA OWES DORINDA AN APOLOGY? DOES RAMONA FEEL BAD FOR HOW SHE TREATED BETHENNY OR IS SHE JUST BACKTRACKING TO SAVE FACE?

Little Women: LA Recap: Interventions And Infidelity
Let’s just state it plainly: Matt Ericson [Grundhoffer] is THE WORST. And Briana Renee is pathetic. Last night’s Little Women: LA revisited both of these long-held truths as Matt was once again caught cheating, this time with a guest in the very same Alaskan hotel his wife was sleeping in several floors up. Terra Jole is delighted to have the heat taken off of her, given the ridiculous tantrum she had last week over Christy McGinity Gibel existing. But she is at least confronted about her bullying ways before the story shifts entirely in Matt’s disgusting direction. So, are we taking votes on who’s the most vile now? (I will always and forever be casting my vote for Matt’s – it’s a matter of principle at this point! I cannot take him smarming up my damn screen for one more minute!)
We begin by reliving Terra’s meltdown, which no one should really have to witness twice. After Tonya Banks practically tries to tackle her into submission and Jasmine tells her to “calm the f**k down!,” Terra finally stops screaming long enough to get back down the mountain. But she wants to remind everyone that Christy is “FAKE FAKE FAKE!” before she stomps off. No one cares anymore, though. Especially since they know what this is all about: Christy not signing Terra’s book release.
In another corner, Elena Gant, Jasmine and Christy talk about Terra’s mania. Elena just wants peace, even if it means Christy signs that damn release. But that ain’t never gonna happen. So, have they signed up for an entire trip of Terra lashing out? Probably.
The next morning, Tonya invites Christy out for some snow shoeing, hoping she’s okay after Terra’s attack. She also wonders why Christy trotted out that “home wrecker” comment? Christy doesn’t offer details, just defending instead that she’s sick of walking on eggshells around a tyrant. Terra is on a continual 25/7 attack campaign against her, so she’s going to attack back. Tonya wants peace, but she’s not Terra’s handler – she can’t control the crazy. Against Christy or anyone else. Tonya gets it. Terra’s been attacking EVERYONE, and it needs to stop – no more excuses. And what about this trip being all about “reconnecting?” Tonya may have to be the Terra Whisperer after all. Because they’ve got a rabid dog on their hands, yo!
At the Alaskan Native Heritage Center, the entire group gathers for a tour. They all manage not to scream at each other in front of their lovely host and her sweet baby, but Terra can’t help but pull Briana aside to dish about the antics of last night. She received panicked texts from Briana in the middle of the night because she was looking for Matt – after a fight in which Briana said she was “done” and wanted a divorce (because he was drinking/wanted to party and she didn’t). Then he never came back! Until morning, that is.
Briana of course takes all of the blame for their fight and for Matt’s behavior, as she’s been trained to do. Then she explains the scenario that went down: She found Matt in the hotel bar at 12:30am sitting next to a woman, then he went on a “3-hour walk” in that woman’s hotel room. Briana called all over the place, but couldn’t find him. He finally came home at 4am. She delusionally still holds out hope that he wasn’t cheating on her. I hold out hope that a bear eats him on this trip. The fact that he was not mauled to death in Alaska just proves there is no justice in this world.
But wait – it’s all okay! Because Matt and Briana had the “best make up sex ever!” when they awoke. (Omg, GAG.) “Maybe this is just the new start we needed,” says poor, dumb Briana. She needs to be removed from her home. With her children. This dude is NEVER going to change. And by the way, how in god’s name is he finding women in every state to cheat with?!?!? I need answers.
Back inside the Heritage Center, the group hears about Native practices and eats a sampling of food. As Todd’s first week eating solid foods, this is an auspicious start! Terra and Joe ask Kerwin if he’s going to put a ring on it soon? He jokes that Tonya wants too big of a ring, so he’s got to slow his roll on popping the question.
In Briana and Matt’s room, they’re all hunky dory now! They eat room service and several side dishes of denial to hit the “reset” button. Briana just wants to keep her man by any means necessary, even listening to Matt defend his idiotic behavior as HER FAULT. She pushed him to it – whah! Doesn’t she realize his itty bitty feelings were hurt? Plus, he reminds her of the great sex they had when he finally came back. So, solid relationship. (Grooooaaaannnnn.)
Day three in Alaska means snowboarding for most, skiing for Christy. The ladies are good sports on the slopes, even if they take a few spills here and there. After they tire out, Elena, Jasmine, and Tonya sit down for coffee and to discuss the Terra/Christy situation – which is really a Terra/Terra situation. They agree Terra needs an intervention, electing Tonya as the group ambassador. Girl needs to be put in check, period. Tonya agrees.
Before that goes down, Terra and Tonya take a peaceful helicopter ride to the top of a glacier. It’s stunning and a once in a lifetime experience and – oh wait – it that Matt schtupping a waitress in the pines? Kidding! (Not really.) At the top, the gals talk about Tonya getting married – does she really want a huge ring? The answer is yes, but it might not really be about the ring. It’s about Tonya being scared of getting married again, and Terra knows it.
Time for the intervention, part one! Tonya explains how Terra’s gotten nasty with everyone in the group this year, and she needs to calm the f**k down. Instead of listening, Terra hears her trigger word – Christy – and pops off about how much she hates her for that police report. Tonya reminds her friend that she’s got her back, but the group is turning against her and she needs to realize it. Jasmine and Elena plan to talk to her on their boat ride later, so she’d better be ready to listen.
Back at the hotel, Terra tells Tonya she has new intel on Matt: She heard that people saw him in the bar with a woman, then went to the bathroom with her for a long time, finally going up to her room with her. Tonya is shocked, which is kind of laughable considering who they’re talking about. OF COURSE HE CHEATS ON BRIANA. (Has anyone on earth not gotten this memo yet – well, except Briana?)
Tonya doesn’t know if Terra should tell Briana this dirt, though, because Briana always shoots the messenger. Terra doesn’t care; she’s going to spill it all. And I am here for it.
Time for a boat ride! And time for Elena and Jasmine to lay all of their issues at Terra’s door. Before that, Christy and Todd take a moment to enjoy the scenery and to celebrate Todd’s new lease on life – and Christy’s, since she’s recovering from a troublesome surgery of her own. Aww. Happy for them!
Even though most of the group are exhilarated by the scenery, Terra feels only negative energy. She pulls all of the ladies aside to explain what she’s heard about Matt. So, looks like that Terra intervention has been canceled! (As Elena wisely notes.) Terra shows Briana a photo of the woman she saw Matt with, and Briana confirms it’s her. Where she got the photo isn’t asked though, which is strange. But there’s no time for that, as Terra continues to reveal the entire despicable tale.
At the end of her story, Terra reveals that Lifetime producers actually tried to get this woman ON CAMERA. But she refused, telling them they were just smoking pot in the bathroom, then went up to the bedroom. So – production SAW all of this? Did Matt not notice the literal cameras in his face, asking to record his on-site cheating? Oh, he is a special kind of stupid. And evil.
You know, I have to pause here a moment to reflect on all of the harsh criticisms I’ve written about Matt over the past two years. This season, I’ve been wondering (like many) when his true colors would show again, because I’ve never wavered in my disgust. He has been a walking red flag since the moment he showed his purple face and duffel bag, showcasing his epic douchebaggery on that hideous Ride Or Die special, and now reminding us why he still takes home the trophy for Most Likely To Inspire Hatred. If Briana takes him back after this (and we know she will), I am officially writing her off as a lost cause. Fool her once, shame on him. Fool her 42,000 times, shame on #LittleFierceMama. She better rethink that hashtag.
Back to the action. Briana marches inside the boat, demanding Matt tell the truth. Smirking like an a$$hole, he deflects for a second, then flat out denies it all. Next, he turns it on Briana for pushing him away. Because that’s his M.O. Everyone is witnessing this mess, by the way – and no one can believe how he’s acting. (Really? Are they new here?) Then Matt changes tactics, outing the fact that Briana turns on her friends just as much as she does on him. So, he’s trying to rally the troops.
Too late! Because when pressed by Jasmine, Matt finally admits he did indeed kiss BAR LADY! (Which we all know is merely the tip of this Alaskan iceberg.) Briana throws something (a napkin?) at him, calls him sick, and threatens divorce. But in less than a week, we all know that she’ll sadly be back with him. Because she’s anything but fierce, no matter what her t-shirt says.
TELL US: IS BRIANA EVER GOING TO ESCAPE THIS RELATIONSHIP? WILL TERRA EVER SEE THE GROUP’S POINT ABOUT HER BEHAVIOR? HOW LONG UNTIL BAR LADY SURFACES ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

The Real Housewives Of New York Recap: Regency Reunion
On last night’s Real Housewives Of New York, Carole Radziwill and Dorinda Medley take it to the streets, heading to D.C. for the Women’s March, while back in NYC Ramona Singer shellacs her hair back in a tragic Blonde-Ambition-meets-Pinot-and-Ambien look and throws a party with the shadiest guest list she can summon. Ramona’s informant friend Missy, who accused Tom D’Agostino of snogging her in a limo while concurrently being engaged to Luann De Lesseps, is resurrected from her UES cryogenic chamber for the evening to confront the recently married couple. Meanwhile, Tinsley Mortimer continues planning her escape, and Sonja Morgan tries to understand what the hell Frenchie is saying.
We begin with Tinsley and Carole meeting for lunch, where they break Tinsley’s sad situation down: She’s living with an oppressive tyrant and needs to move out. Her mom is coming into town to help her apartment hunt, in fact. Carole and Tinsley were also invited to the Winter Botanical Garden, which solidified them as new “pals” in the social rags. It also helped Tinsley’s socialite comeback tour, which she still sadly imagines is real.
Carole thinks Tinsley should just reinvent herself completely rather than attempt to capture the distant past. But Tinsley wants to keep her long curls and fake lashes and bad choices in men! So, she’s sticking to the plan.
Over at Sonja’s, Frenchie is opening a bottle of wine in his new house. Which is also Sonja’s house. Which is a part-time situation, claims Sonja, because he technically also lives in Paris. Sonja isn’t used to this new living arrangement quite yet, as it requires sharing space and closed-door crapping. Two things Sonja doesn’t have the time nor the inclination to prioritize.
As she and Frenchie lay in bed, he encourages Sonja to let her friends talk! Who cares about the world judging them and their communal defecation rites? He does care about Sonja’s other boyfriend, Rocco, though – but only up to a point. He doesn’t mind if she still sees him because he also has three extra girlfriends. “I love the way you think,” sighs Sonja, who’s found her match – someone who doesn’t give a rip who she smooches in public. (Wait – are Rocco and Luann essentially the same person?!)
At Ramona’s, she’s cheering her newly-renovated face apartment, planning a cocktail party to celebrate. She’s inviting all of the ladies – including Bethenny Frankel, who she claims to “still like.” Um, despite hating her?
Apartment hunting time! (Oh please, show us some amazing real estate, RHONY. You owe us for dragging us through the Tom/Luann saga for A YEAR!!!) Tinsley and her mom are on Bleeker and 11th, checking out a 1,500-square foot, $9k per month property. You know, just a little 4-bedroom crash pad for a girl to rest her curls between step and repeats. Tinsley quickly glosses over the fact that she’s got a job and TONS of family money, so cost is no issue. And this, my friends, is why Sonja Tremont Morgan deeply resents young Tins. Girlfriend has not fallen on hard times, no matter what she claims.
Hooray! Carole’s long-suffering, broke-down couch is about to get recovered! It’s been a long time coming, but, as her fabric consultant suggests, whatever fabric they use, it will be destroyed instantly by these animals unless she gets this litter box under control. Carole dumbly suggests wrapping tinfoil around the couch feet as a preventative measure.
When Adam walks in, Carole reminds us how happy she is living alone again. She also wants to get the last of Adam’s possessions out of her space – Buddha heads, food containers, sh*t in the corners of closets – IT ALL MUST GO! Adam laughs off her pushiness, reminding us that 1) maybe he truly just doesn’t give a toss about this relationship, or 2) Carole is paying for his new apartment. I refuse to accept a third possibility!
Tinsley is still roaming the city looking at amazing properties with mom – this time uptown. Tinsley is practically in tears making a decision, so mom suggests she just live in a hotel. As one does. Tinsley can barely operate the door lock, she’s so flustered. Which doesn’t bode well for the You’re gonna make it after all! theme she’s going for here.
Over at Bethenny’s endless commercial Soho apartment, Fredrik Eklund is visiting to discuss selling her property. Fredrick comments that it smells different in here – is that the smell of Skinnygirl (TM) cleaner? Bethenny has rearranged the joint to his liking, but still needs to remove the bar – he doesn’t care if it breaks into a million pieces! So Bethenny makes the call to give the order, telling Fredrik to “f**k right off” as he openly laughs about her ordeal. He thinks she can get $5.25 million for this place – if she listens to him. Which she should.
Carole and Dorinda are heading to D.C. for the Women’s March, which they’re bonding over while packing. Carole wants to witness a historic event, and Dorinda is marching on behalf of her daughter. Carole will need her “lucky monkey” to do this, apparently.
Sonja visits Rocco at his restaurant, which he’s sweetly shut down just for Bravo cameras Sonja. Sonja reflects that she’s “stuck between a Rocco and a hard place” (is that line in her off-off-off Broadway act?), but she has to fess up about Frenchie. “I don’t want to cheat again,” says Rocco of dating, forcing Sonja to go into complete nonsense mode. Her attempt to explain the Frenchie situation goes thusly: I took home a Parisian, slept with him, thought he’d go home, but – um – he’s still here! Only part time though! And I’m only dating you, Rocco! So…all good?
Taken aback but remaining calm, Rocco asks Sonja what she thinks about their relationship? Sonja doesn’t know how that will work because – YO, she has a man living with her, dude. But Rocco, completely unaware of the truth, just holds out hope that delusional Sonja will someday regain her sanity. He is a true hero.
At the Women’s March, Dorinda and Carole meet up with friends to make their voices heard. Carole wants to hold this administration accountable and feels empowered as she’s surrounded by like-minded people. Dorinda is elated by the turnout, not just in D.C., but world wide. And – politics aside – it’s refreshing to see the Housewives (ANY Housewives) engage in a real life event rather than a petty, manufactured product-schilling party. (Plus, I’m sure Ramona will be simply riveted by hearing all of the political details at her party later!)
Back in NYC, Ramona is party prepping. By which, I mean she’s pulled her hair back to within an inch of its plasticity, and her caterer is arranging plates. Carole arrives first to side-eye Ramona’s new vibe, and her I Dream Of Jeannie look – which incidentally, also includes breasts hiked up to chin-rest level. Tinsley and her mother, then Dorinda wander in next, all taken aback by Ramona’s crazy getup. No matter! For Harry Dubin arrives next to check out the newest Housewife: Tinsley. Carole silently wonders if she’ll be his next victim playmate? Sonja just wonders if Harry will pay her nursing home bills.
Bethenny will not be attending this grand event, as she loathes Ramona now and forever – just in case Ramona was wondering. But Ramona still doesn’t get it, even though Dorinda and Carole try to beat it in to her head. You were drunk and batsh*t crazy, they basically say. But Ramona doesn’t want to rehash the particulars (which she claims to have blacked out). She just wants to make it nice again! However, Ramona ain’t Dorinda. And her basic lack of communication skills, insight, and personal reflection (not to mention hideous hair don’ts) won’t help matters. Plus, why does she even want to be friends with Bethenny again if she meant even a portion of what she said in the Berkshires?
But Bethenny is not the most critical (non) guest worth discussing. No, no. It’s Missy, Ramona’s friend who formerly claimed Tom made advances on her. After Luann and Tom arrive, thrilled to be married and finally above the gossip (bwahahaha! nice try, love birds), Missy is trotted out like an anti-diplomat. She’s here to break bonds and burn bridges, which Ramona clearly orchestrated although she claims it was all just a big invite mistake. Oops!
When Tom introduces Missy to Luann, he sheepishly says he knows her from the Regency. (The location of his almost constant philandering, if anyone out there hasn’t seen the last 1,000 hours of RHONY.) Tom’s fuchsia face reads: Get me the EFF outta here. But Luann, ever bizarrely calm in the face of being publicly humiliated, just smiles and laughs the laugh of a woman who cares more about wearing her wedding ring than she does about her husband wearing his.
Missy was also allegedly the woman dating Tom when Luann “stole” him (says Ramona), so Luann is well aware of who this chick is. She might also want to be aware of the banter between Tom and Missy as they have a side conversation about marriage though. Tom says he’s “getting used to” his ring, but it’s “like a dog with a collar” who sh*ts all over everything you own. Unaware, Luann pulls Tom aside to confirm that Missy was a woman that he once dated. He’s all, “Um, yeah. She’s nice. She’s happy for us.” Which is all Luann needs to re-paste the fake smile on her face as if to say, It’s cool! It’s not all uncool! Except that it’s totally uncool. And everyone knows it.
Dear God! Even Harry knows it! Taking Missy aside, he asks if Tom really dragged her into the bathroom at the Regency? Missy deflects by claiming she doesn’t want to be involved in this mess, so Harry doesn’t press. He just hits on her instead. Because, well, Harry is Harry.
So, Sonja bottoms lines it: Ramona set this sh*t up, and she knows it. Luann knows it. Missy knows it. Tom knows it. Santa Claus and all twelve reindeer know it. The only one who thinks she’s slick is Ramona, whose ponytail must have stretched her brain into a new shape of psychosis.
TELL US: WAS MISSY A SETUP? DID TOM CHEAT ON LUANN WITH HER? WILL SONJA COME CLEAN WITH ROCCO? WHAT’S UP WITH THAT PONYTAIL, MAN?
