Tonight is decision night! For fans of Married at First Sight, Thursday's all-new episode wasn't just a season finale. It was the evening where they would finally find out if the...Originally, the Big Brother 19 community predicted that the curse for the Halting Hex would result in someone returning to the Big Brother 2017 house via the Battle Back. We did have a Big Brother 19 Battle Back, but that wasn’t because of the curse. We now have no clue what to expect with this Halting Hex curse.
The curses haven’t been that bad. The first curse resulted in Ramses Soto going on the block as the third nominee. He was in no danger that week, so the curse had no major consequences for anyone. The second curse was silly V-Toad costumes for three Big Brother 19 houseguests.
Host Julie Chen has promised that this curse affects the entire house. It’s supposed to be a big one. Along with the Big Brother 2017 houseguests, the viewers have made their own guesses involving the curse. We have heard people speculate that the curse causes a double eviction, or an instant eviction, or maybe a triple one. Others have speculated that it reduces the prize money. Some believe the curse will be a new game for the Sunday night Big Brother 19 episodes, or the return of another player.
We have all been anxiously trying to figure out the curse. Tonight, Julie finally told the Big Brother 19 viewers about the curse.
Major Spoiler Ahead. Proceed with Caution.

Julie revealed to that the Halting Hex curse is a competition. Players can choose to compete in the competition, but they aren’t required. If a player wins this competition, they are safe for the week. However, if they come in last place, they go on the block and became a third nominee. This competition could really save certain players, and cost a few others.

This week’s Big Brother 19 Head of Household is another critical one. After the blindside, a few Big Brother players have no clue where the power or trust lies. Elena Davies and Mark Jansen find themselves on the outside of the alliance most of all.
Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson already knew it would be a long battle for them to gain any new Big Brother 2017 allies. Mark and Elena thought they were still in the solid Paul Abrahamian and friends team.
Elena and Mark need to win this week’s Head of Household competition the most. Cody and Jessica don’t really need it because Jessica has the Halting Hex. We expect that if either of them are in danger this week, she can pull out the Hex and save herself or Cody. They could even use the Hex to intimidate people into not putting them on the block.
So Jessica and Cody could be in for two more weeks of safety, because who would want to waste a week on untouchable players? Despite their safety, we’re sure Cody and Jessica want blood, especially after being lied to and almost blindsided once again. We believe that Cody and Paul are the only two players who for sure want to fight for this HOH win.
So who won this week’s Big Brother 19 week 5 Head of Household competition? Read below to find out.
MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Paul Abrahamian won this week’s Head of Household competition. He’s likely to target Elena, Mark, because Jessica and Cody are exempted from eviction.

It is hard on these Big Brother streets for a superfan, especially this season. Usually Big Brother superfans skate on by to the end, and then win the entire game. For Big Brother 19, two nerdy Big Brother superfans were inside the house. So double the possibilities of a repeat of the usual nerd superfan pattern? Nope. On the first night, Cameron Heard got the boot, which shocked us to our core.
Now it looks like Ramses Soto is also about to leave the Big Brother 19 house. The Big Brother spirits have not been kind to superfans this year. They have also been very unkind to our early possible winners predictions.
All week, Paul Abrahamian has worked to ensure that most of the Big Brother 2017 players vote out Ramses instead of Josh Martinez. He planned to blindside Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf. Then the house would use some mental warfare to ensure Cody didn’t win this week’s Head of Household competition, and then got evicted by the end of the week.
Little do the houseguests know, because Cody and Jessica have a secret power in their back pocket. Cody and Jessica found out about the blindside yesterday, and tried to flip some votes against Josh. It didn’t seem to turn anyone towards their side. But as always: expect the unexpected.
Did the votes go as planned, with Ramses walking out the Big Brother 19 doors tonight?
MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION

Of course, Paul got his way, yet again. Ramses Soto was evicted from the Big Brother 19 house tonight. Stay tuned later for the Big Brother 19 Head of Household results. We expect a dramatic day of feeds ahead.

At this point, Tamra Judge seems like a different person after her newfound Christianity. Instead of being the instigator, she is really trying when it comes to this peacemaker role – minus hating on eternal frienemy Vicki Gunvalson whenever possible, but that’s basically a rite of passage on Real Housewives of Orange County.
Still, she was calm, cool, and collected during that instantly infamous dinner at The Quiet Woman when Shannon Beador threw a plate (full of food, mind you), and she was even polite and cordial toward Kelly Dodd (who she cannot stand).
Tamra reflected on the plate throwing drama in her Bravo blog. She even admitted, “Watching this episode is the first time ever I wish I would have opened my mouth instead of staying quiet.” But of course she said (yet again), “We didn’t want to hear Lydia [McLaughlin] talking about Vicki.” That’s how this show works. Everyone is either talking about Vicki or waiting for an excuse to bring her up – Tamra should know this by now.
Still, she insisted, “Of course Shannon’s going to get upset, who wouldn’t?”
Tamra also said, “Let’s face it, they just met! I just wanted them to get along and was trying to remain neutral, but now I’m not sure if that was the right thing to do.” That’s debatable, but Shannon throwing that plate was the most iconic Real Housewives restaurant scene since Teresa Giudice flipped a table. So it was all worth it in the end, at least to me… and some other fans… hopefully.
Even though all of the Housewives get off shit talking about Vicki, Vicki wasn’t angelic during the last episode. She decided to group Tamra in with her ex Brooks Ayers, who lied about cancer, and a former employee who embezzled from there. I can tell she was trying her best to be entertaining and shady, but it just didn’t add up at all.
Obviously Tamra wasn’t here for that shit either. She wrote, “Vicki claims she’s a ‘bad judge of character.’ She’s merging her company and needs help staffing because she so often gets taken advantage of…really? She then goes on to put me in the same category as Brooks, as people who have done her wrong. Are you kidding me? What have I ever done to Vicki? Other than call her out for her disgusting lies, I was a good friend – I warned her about Brooks and she wouldn’t listen. I tried to protect her from getting hurt. Is it too much for her to admit that I was right? I was nothing but a good friend. I’m happy to say I DON’T have a bad judge of character OR a delusional relationship with the TRUTH!”
Then Tamra said what I was thinking while watching the episode: “Am I the only one that is totally confused about Lydia [McLaughlin] inviting Kelly to dinner? Who invites someone’s enemy to sit down for dinner? No one ever! It’s not like Lydia didn’t know, she told Peggy that, ‘Tamra and Shannon don’t get along with Kelly.’ Then, she called Kelly to see if she’s going to make it to dinner from Peggy’s car…why?”
BECAUSE LYDIA IS A SHIT STIRRER. No matter how much glitter her mom throws or how many prayers she recites, Lydia is still a shit stirrer. For the most part, it is annoying, but like I said, Shannon throwing that plate was iconic, so I’m grateful for that one precious moment.
Tamra to spill the truth: “The look on Lydia’s face when I said, ‘Kelly Dodd just walked in’ was priceless. At the time I thought it was weird that she jumped up and ran after Kelly. Didn’t they just meet like 24 hours ago? Lydia never once told us she’s the one that invited Kelly, and then Kelly told Shannon she had NO idea we were there. Seriously, what is going on? Seems like a set up to me.”
One hundred percent. Sure, Lydia might be genuinely surprised that Kelly came through after initially rejecting the invite, but she shouldn’t be “shocked” since she is the one who asked her to come through. You tell her, Tamra.
Tamra insisted,”I know Shannon well enough that she was nervous when Kelly walked in. She didn’t know what to say so she started talking about her weight. Ugh, I wish she wouldn’t have done that. Kelly plays dirty. She will – and did – absolutely use it against her. It was nice of Lydia to pray over Shannon.”
Shannon also shouldn’t have been super combative toward Kelly when she innocently walked into the women’s bathroom. Nevertheless, Kelly’s moment of innocence walking into the restroom was short-lived. After that, the gloves were off and the insults were beyond brutal.
Tamra recalled, “Kelly comes and sits down next to me and started bringing up old issues. I thought it would be best to change the subject and just kill her with kindness. I had no desire to argue with Kelly or let her get under my skin, I wish Shannon felt the same way that night. What happened next was epic and embarrassing! Insults, screaming, steaks and fingers flying, and we were running for the door. Just another dinner in the OC…LOL!” Just another run of the mill dinner… Very casual.
Once again, Tamra read my mind when she wrote, “Lydia talking to Peggy outside left me feeling annoyed…she’s the one that invited Kelly, who she just met one day prior and KNEW we didn’t like her. She was responsible. Lydia, Lydia, Lydia! What were you thinking?!”
Exactly. Lydia is the one who invited Kelly. She’s been on this show. How could she be that upset/embarrassed? Lydia knows what she signed up for. Please, girl. Save the crocodile tears.

She wasn’t involved in anything that went down at the restaurant, The Quiet Woman, but her name was in everyone’s mouths, as per usual.
For once, Vicki doesn’t have to defend herself since she wasn’t involved in the actual controversy this time, but she did so anyway.
But before defending herself, Vicki took it upon herself to support her girl Kelly Dodd in her Bravo blog, “The Quiet Woman is literally walking distance from Kelly’s house, and it makes sense that she would have stopped by there after being on the boat ride. I don’t think that Kelly showed up to see the ladies.”
But Lydia McLaughlin invited her. I get that Kelly wouldn’t want to see any of those people, but Lydia did say they were going to be there. Sure, it’s possible Kelly forgot, but she was definitely informed at some point – they showed it on the episode.
Then Vicki came back to protecting herself from nemesis Shannon Beador. She declared, “For Shannon to get upset at Lydia that she was mentioning my name is ludicrous. I mean, she knows we all hang out together, so who gives her the right to tell Lydia not to say my name or to be in my presence? It’s just childish and she needs to grow up.”
They are contractually obligated to interact and discuss each other’s lives for this show. Shannon should have seen this coming. Come on.
Vicki claimed, “I’m glad that Kelly has tried to make amends with Tamra [Judge], however it’s interesting how Tamra is quick to move on with her, but not me.” It’s not like Tamra was giving her a best friend bracelet [a la Gretchen Rossi back in the day]. She was just being cordial since they were at the same table.
Still, Vicki clearly isn’t buying it since she also put this out there: “Personally, I think Tamra is very calculated with who she ‘hangs out with,’ no matter what her true inner feelings are. She is a master manipulator.”
Vicki added, “Regarding Tamra and Shannon being upset with me…it’s ridiculous and they need to look at themselves in the mirror. I didn’t SPREAD RUMORS publicly about Eddie [Judge] or David [Beador]. Kelly and I did have a conversation in her home over a year ago, and I asked her, ‘Why do these ladies think it’s ok to bash me about being with my ex, when they have rumors and ‘issues’ with their husbands but don’t want to ever talk about it?’ That was it. It was never meant to become public, and it did.”
Just because she didn’t spread rumors in front of reality TV cameras, it doesn’t mean she didn’t spread rumors. I get Vicki’s point: Kelly‘s the one who brought this to the show, not her, but she did spread these rumors.
She wondered, “Why are they continuing to talk about it if they don’t want it to be a topic of conversation?” Vicki made it a point to say, “They should let it go and we can stop talking about it. I’ll stop telling the truth about them, when they stop telling lies about me. Now enough is enough and move on!” None of that is ever going to happen. Ever.
At the end of her post, Vicki teased, “Stay tuned…it’s gonna get a little bumpy.” Of course it is.

Even though most of this season was pretty blah, this cast Mexico trip has really revived Real Housewives of New York. So it was the perfect time for Carole Radziwill and Tinsley Mortimer to discuss the show on Watch What Happens Live.
Tinsley gave an update on her living situation and her love life. They both shared their thoughts on who planted that Page Six story (Sonja Morgan) and those allegations that Luann D’Agostino slapped Tom D’Agostino in a restaurant.
Of course Andy Cohen polled the viewers to ask if Tinsley was a bad house guest so Carole couldn’t help commenting, “The two bad house guests on our crew are Sonja and Ramona [Singer].” Tinsley reacted, “Exactly!” And Tinsley confirmed, “The worst.”
Tinsley also confirmed that she has been dating Scott (who Carole introduced her to during that make out-filled double date) since February. Carole joked, “I might be a bridesmaid,” which is something I would love to see. Tinsley gushed, “Scott is amazing. Carole was great at setting us up.”
Andy asked Carole and Tinsley to name the biggest hot mess on the cast trip to Mexico. Carole admitted, “I love Luann falling, but it wasn’t like a hot mess moment.” It was everything though. Carole added, “I think Sonja was off the rails. Tinsley admitted, “I was pretty bad too. Let’s be honest.”
A viewer asked Carole and Tinsley, “What do you think of the rumors that Luann’s marriage is on the chopping block?” Carole joked, “We didn’t see that coming.” And then she got serious (I think) and said, “We don’t believe it.”
Andy wondered, “Do you think she slapped him in a restaurant?” Carole theorized, “I think something happened in a restaurant that looked very much like a slap.” Tinsley added, “I mean look: Page Six is not always accurate. We’ve all been a victim of that, but sometimes there’s little things that are not completely always made up.” That sounds about right.
Tinsley confirmed that she is not living at Sonja’s infamous townhouse. Andy stirred the pot and asked, “Was Sonja not drinking for ten months?” Tinsley answered, “I don’t really know where the ten months began and end[ed]. She was drinking while I was living with her.” And Carole stated the obvious: “She was drinking in The Berkshires. And Vermont.” And clearly Mexico.
Andy subjected the ladies to a true Sophie’s Choice situation when he wondered, “Who do you love more: drunk Luann or drunk Dorinda?” They both yelled, “Dorinda!” I totally get that. Drunk Dorinda is more of a regular guest on the show who always delivers, whereas drunk Luann merely shows up here and there and doesn’t always cop to her shit.
Andy asked the women to solve a pretty obvious mystery: “Do you guys think Ramona planted the Page Six story?” Carole firmly stated, “Sonja did.” Tinsley was more diplomatic and said, “If she didn’t call them herself to do it, clearly it came out of her mouth, it was perpetuated by her for sure.” Carole continued, “She likes it. This is not the first item she’s been involved with in Page Six.” Damn. Carole was really on fire during the episode.

The first Big Brother 19 eviction was hard to predict. In fact, we predicted wrong. The last three evictions have gone as expected. Cody Nickson left the second week of Big Brother, because Paul Abrahamian’s backdoor plan went off without anything halting it. Last week, Dominique Cooper left the Big Brother 19 game without any explosions or fireworks.
This Big Brother 19 week seems to be on the same path as the previous two weeks. We know who is going home. We just may be unclear on where the votes may fall. Earlier today, we mentioned that Jessica Graf and Cody now know about the blindside, thanks to Kevin Schlehuber.
Big Brother 19 fans won’t get the blindside they have waited for, but there still should be a lot of drama. The drama will come from how Cody, Jessica, Ramses, Elena Davies, Josh Martinez, and Mark Jansen respond to all of these events. We’re going to hope no one gets physical, because that could be too much for our beta hearts to handle.
In the end, we expect Ramses to leave the Big Brother 19 house. Everyone is telling Cody and Jessica that they will vote out Josh, but we know they won’t do it. However, a few may save their own butts and not vote with Paul and friends’ side. We expect the votes to go as followed:
Jason Dent votes to evict Ramses
Alex Ow votes to evict Ramses
Christmas Abbott votes to evict Ramses
Elena votes to evict Josh
Cody votes to evict Josh
Mark votes to evict Josh
Raven Walton votes to evict Ramses
Matt Clines votes to evict Ramses
Paul votes to evict Ramses
Kevin votes to evict Josh
By a 6 to 4 vote, Ramses will walk out the Big Brother 19 doors to meet Julie Chen.

It’s so crazy to think that the viewers watched Briana Culberson getting ready for prom when Real Housewives of Orange County first started and now she’s giving on-camera interviews and avoiding Tamra Judge at social events. She is basically a Real Housewife herself, but that’s not enough for her mom Vicki Gunvalson. The OG of the OC wants her daughter to join the cast- officially!
It is so annoying when people join the cast who have no genuine ties to the ladies. The conversation, drama, and the relationships in general just seem way too contrived. Adding someone’s daughter would definitely emphasis the “real” in Real Housewives. I mean I would definitely take Briana over a few of the current cast members that we are stuck with this season.
Personally I feel like Briana serves as a breath of fresh air on this show, but she just doesn’t seem like she would ever be into being a Housewife herself. She seems super busy and way above the petty drama. Although she would be the only one in the cast capable of keeping Vicki in check, which would be useful. Then again, we already get that from Briana in her current role, so she can give us what we need and avoid the drama she doesn’t want to be a part of. At this point, she can have her cake and eat it too, so joining the cast isn’t exactly necessary.
Nevertheless, Vicki told 9 News, “It’s probably time. You know, the viewers are ready for her. She’s such a great girl. She’s no bulls**t.” Someone who’s “no bull shit,” probably has no interest in being a Housewife. Being a Housewife comes with a barrage of bull shit.
Vicki joked, “She’ll eat those girls up!” That wouldn’t surprise me at all, but then again I’m sure (most of) the other ladies have treated her differently because she is a cast member’s daughter and not a cast member. It would be a whole different ball game if Briana was on the same playing field.
Vicki added, “She’s good TV. She doesn’t [even] try to be good TV. She just is.”

Just because Teen Wolf only has 10 episodes left, that doesn't mean there's no room for love. When we sat down with the cast at Comic-Con, ahead of the premiere of the final...
The old saying "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, FLOOR!" does not apply to the women of The Real Housewives of New York City. As viewers saw in the Wednesday, July 26...Real Housewives Of Orange County has no ‘quiet women’ – especially not Lydia McLaughlin who ‘secretly’ invited/not-invited Kelly Dodd to dinner at The Hysterical Shrieking Insane Quiet Woman with Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge. And surprise-not-surprise: Kelly showed up, provoking a dieting-not-dieting Shannon to fling her plate, flip Kelly off, and get flipping thrown out!
Shannon and Tamra didn’t know Lydia had been scheming-not-scheming by inviting Kelly until the episode aired, and now they’re calling out her “pot stirring” antics. For some reason Meghan Edmonds is involving herself, because that’s what Meghanny Drew, Girl Detective does – she gets to the bottom of drama!
Despite all evidence to the contrary Lydia denied having any ill-intent. She prayed for Shanon to stay sane, so it’s not her fault Satan got in the mashed potatoes! \
Post-episode the ladies erupted on twitter. No one is allowed to have Shannon’s private number, therefore they can’t argue over text message like normal people. You can wade through the 140 characters or less histrionics below.
Meghan’s complaints began with Lydia describing Shannon as “the mayor of crazytown“.
Uh – seriously Tamra, who coined “Jesus Jugs” and numerous other awful things, is now ‘offended’ by name calling? Yeah, she deserved to have a guinea pig poop on her.
I do agree with Meghan’s assessment that none of this makes any sense, though! “Why would Lydia invite Kelly if she doesn’t get along with anyone??? That is so odd,” Meghan tweeted.
Shannon replied, “Because it looks like she likes to stir the pot. And she didn’t tell us that she invited Kelly.”
“Lydia was shocked when Kelly walked in? But she invited her. And now Kelly ‘didn’t know they’d be there?’ What is going on?!,” Meghan continued. “I like both Lydia and Kelly. Just questioning certain things. I don’t hate them at all,” she added.
“Isn’t that the craziest thing? We had No idea at the time she was invited by Lydia,” agreed Tamra, “why didn’t kelly just say lydia invited her?”
Tamra also asked, “Didn’t [Lydia] tell kelly in the car that shannon and Tamra don’t get along with kelly? Why would you invite her to a dinner that WE set up?”
RELATED – Lydia Complains That Shannon Over-Reacts & Blames Others
Shannon then called Lydia out for being embarrassed by her behavior. “Lydia’s embarrassed??” she scoffed. “Nothing would have happened if Lydia hadn’t invited Kelly. #badchoice #potstirrer #RHOC” #TrueDat Why are the women of the RHOC always shrieking about pot stirring and blaming others for pot stirring?! Get a new argument!
When viewers complained that Shannon over-reacted, she snapped back, “So sorry. Wish I was as composed as you would have been.” Except even Kelly would have been more composed than Shannon! Like how about leaving immediately instead of showing Kelly your best Cotillion manners by flipping her off while screaming “f–king bitch” and flinging steak! Pretty sure they revoke your Deb crown for that. Shannon later admitted she was “being uptight,” but blamed it on “a lot of pot stirring going on.”
RELATED – Shannon Acknowledges Vicki Didn’t Make Her Gain Wait
Shannon also argued that she shouldn’t be forced to interact with Kelly (or Vicki) because of RHOC – which makes ZERO sense given the premise of Real Housewives.”Yes but some relationships have to end for good. Show or not,” she stated.
Tamra tweeted some advice for Lydia: “Creating drama on purpose always backfires.” She would know.
Switching gears from the drama with Lydia, Meghan called out Peggy Sulahian for making a bizarre domestic violence joke. Peggy redeemed herself by asking if they were getting takeout bags for the food Shannon flung across the table!
“Oh my dear god Peggy. Your husband beats you on Fridays? This is so uncomfortable. #notfunny,” tweeted Meghan, the moral authority of RHOC. Am I going to have to refer to Meghan as “Heather DuFaux” now?
“The Armenian to English translation always comes out funny/weird. Diko does NOT beat me,” Peggy clarified. “My fellow Armenians can confirm it’s a joke”
I really don’t know what to make of this mess. So, Kelly told Lydia she wasn’t coming to dinner, then showed up late claiming she thought the women had left already (lies of a real Housewife on that one!). On WWHL, Kelly insisted the restaurant is in her neighborhood, so she goes there all the time. Andy Cohen confirmed Kelly wasn’t mic’d when she ‘surprised-not-surprised’ Shannon in the bathroom. It certainly appears as if Lydia intended to invite Kelly to cause a ruckus though.

The post Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, & Meghan Edmonds Call Out Lydia McLaughlin For Lying And Question Her Motives appeared first on Reality Tea.
Just in case The Real Housewives Of New York didn’t have enough tequila during the first night of their trip, Bethenny Frankel decides to free them from their resort habitat to drink straight from the agave fields in the town of Tequila itself! It’s like a Housewives birthright trip, wherein they head back to the ultimate power-source of all Bravo drama. Luann D’Agostino [de Lesseps], champ that she is, rallies from her multiple falls in time to partake, as does power-napping Dorinda Medley. The only question before Bethenny’s outing is this: Will Ramona Singer be murdered in her sleep by the house staff allowed to go?
The morning after Sonja Morgan and Ramona tore through rooms like Hurricane Crazy, the group awakens to a new day. Dorinda and Luann are practicing yoga on the patio while Carole Radziwill is inside demanding bean-free huevos rancheros. Luann is relieved to be alive, and without a scratch to boot! Tinsley Mortimer is giddy over the enormous bouquet of flowers delivered to her from new boyfriend, Scott. She’ll have to stick a pin in that joy for now, though, because there are fights to be had! Namely, between Ramona and Bethenny.
Bethenny asks to speak to Ramona alone, expressing her concerns over Ramona attending her tequila excursion. Ramona has no plans to apologize; she just wants things to go back to the way they were. If by “the way they were,” she means that she and Bethenny will hate each other silently, then okay! Let’s do that, please. Bethenny doesn’t understand why Ramona claims that it’s not a deep issue, when in fact she went for the jugular in the Berkshires. “You don’t like me!” accuses Bethenny, to which Ramona gives one of her classically mangled replies. “I don’t not not like you.” We’re left to decide what Ramona’s brain was doing there.
As the rest of the group goes surfing, Ramona, Sonja, and Tinsley stay behind to side eye each other. Well, most of the side eyeing is done by Sonja and Ramona, who think that Tinsley is a petulant child (yup) and that Bethenny is enabling her behavior (questionable). Tinsley finally walks over to discuss the Page Six story with Sonja, who continues to deny her involvement. Now, Tinsley wonders why Sonja didn’t at least deny the story before it was printed? I still wonder why Page Six is printing stories about has-been socialites not buying gifts for has-been Morgans! #SlowNewsDay
Having had enough of Tinsley’s whining, Sonja finally snaps that The NY Post is going to write about her whether she likes it or not, so “get used to it!” Plus, isn’t this chick ALL about being the talk of the town? Well, Ms. Mortimer, the town is a’talkin. And it’s certainly a step up from the stories being written about you in Palm Beach.
While these two bicker, Dorinda lives it up on her board. Carole tries not to drown as she watches Bethenny expertly conquer the waves. And Luann good-naturedly plays along. Bethenny jokes, “All that was missing were Ramona’s two flotation devices.”
Time for shopping! In the van on the way into town, Dorinda reminds Bethenny of how bummed Ramona will be to stay in her room grounded while the rest of the group goes to Tequila the next day. She correctly predicts that Bethenny will soften on her stance and allow Ramona to go. In an effort to do some softening up of her own, Ramona hams it up in the Mexican shops, trying on some sort of winged-nightmare of an ensemble, then buys it for Bethenny when her credit card comes up blocked.
Of course, Bethenny complains. But Sonja reminds her that “the moral of the story is you can never get rid of Singer!” Then Ramona buys everyone except Dorinda a bag to ensure her new role as a Generous Person (TM). Snubbing Dorinda, the person whose house she trashed just weeks prior, doesn’t seem to faze her. But I’d just like to know, WHAT IS SHE DOING BUYING BAGS WITHOUT DORINDA?!?!?
Back at the resort, Bethenny rethinks her icy stance against Ramona. She talks through the issue with Carole and Sonja in the hot tub, who look like they – along with the rest of humanity – just want this sh*t to end. Bethenny says she’ll invite Ramona to the excursion if she’s on her best behavior, which for her possibly means she won’t publicly urinate on anything. Sonja defends Ramona’s extra dose of crazy this year, claiming “when that woman’s getting banged, she’s happy.” She and Mario were like bunnies, according to Sonja, and Ramona hasn’t gotten her groove back since the divorce.
Hilariously, Ramona is in a hot tub just down yonder through the shrubs listening to the entire conversation. Or not. Then she takes her blow-out on a jog down the beach for everyone’s viewing pleasure! It’s essentially bow-legged Bo Derek on the run.
At sunset, Sonja tries to reason with Ramona out by the pool. Ramona cops to hurting Bethenny’s feelings, and – in a moment of rare lucidity – that it doesn’t matter whether she meant it or not. It hurt her, so she needs to apologize. Sonja praises Ramona’s new middle school maturity. Like an addict, Ramona has completed Step One! (Cue the Lion King music.) She admits she has a problem. Now what’s she gonna do about it?
At dinner later, Tinsley reads the now-published Page Six story on her phone. Having hoped that Sonja would’ve stopped the article (as if she has that power in the press), Tinsley is ready to have another one of her “Tinsley Tantrums,” as Sonja calls them. Everyone just wants Sonja to admit she planted the story, but she ain’t about to do that. Tinsley doesn’t even care if Sonja planted it herself though; she knows the press wouldn’t have picked it up if she hadn’t called her a bad house guest every second since she moved in.
Bethenny wonders when the circle jerk of these conversations will end, which causes Sonja to wonder what the heck a circle jerk is? So Carole explains it, heightening the gross-out factor at dinner once again. At least it breaks the ice and provides an opening for Dorinda to pass out gag gifts to the entire table, including “No One Cares” pills for Sonja. Lol! Dorinda for the win.
Back at the house, Bethenny reminds everyone (including Ramona, who is now invited) of the dress code for the next day. After the group disperses, Bethenny begs Ramona to not sh*t on her trip. “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all,” advises a teary Bethenny, who could also look into a mirror and repeat that mantra on a loop. Ramona swears she’ll be good as gold, and will keep her flotation devices tethered down.
It’s Tequila day! Sonja is ready to break her (alleged) ten-month dry spell because, well, Tequila! The ladies board two helicopters, which take them on a tour of the area. Ramona is grateful that Bethenny deigned to include her, and Sonja is thrilled that Frick didn’t have to get drunk today without Frack.
When they arrive at the tequila distillery, Ramona has some sort of pashmina/doo rag situation on her head, blessedly trading it for the cowboy hats passed out to all. Then the ladies partake in Skinnygirl margaritas while taking in a drumming/dance show. Much like an elementary school field trip, the group is led through the making of a product – from agave plant to factory floor to Skinnygirl bottle to blistering hangover. Ramona plays the redeemed detention kid with aplomb, kissing Bethenny’s derrière as much as possible at every opportunity. Dorinda can barely tamp down her gag reflex as she looks on in disgust.
As the group dons hard hats inside the factory, they toast by straight shooting tequila from horns hanging around their necks. For Ramona, it’s as close to a sexual encounter she’s gonna get, so she makes sure to enjoy it! Afterward, a dancing horse and children with flowers greet the ladies, possibly wondering why they’ve been forced into a gig at this liquor factory…?
Lunch comes next, with the tipsy group giggling and getting along – possibly due to the thousand tequilas already consumed. Ramona even toasts Bethenny, further cementing her new permanent residence in between her butt cheeks. (What’s the rent there like?) In any case, keep the booze coming! Because these broads are just pre-gaming for the inevitable group tattoos and girl-on-girl action later.
Back at the house, the drunken fun continues. As everyone jumps in pools and dances on tables and prepares to break ankles from impending rope-swing catastrophes, Sonja gets randy. And Luann knows what that means: She shall be molested. But rather than push a tongue-thrusting Sonja off of her, Luann knows one must use the Tai Chi: Go where the sloppy energy leads, grasshopper. Do not resist!
But it’s Ramona who does have to resist Sonja later when she decides it’s time to “therapize” her. Sonja dredges up all of the reasons Ramona should be pathetically sad right now: She lost the love of her life, she’s getting no sex, and Mario cheated on her for a looooooong time. OUCH. Bethenny joins this little suicide-inducing speech to shockingly come to Ramona’s defense. She’s like, WTF, Sonja?!
Alas, drunk Sonja has even less of a clue than sober Sonja, now demanding Ramona just admit she’s not happy! Ramona reacts by rage-screaming, “I’M HAPPPPPPYYYYYYYYY!” Which reminds me of George’s dad screaming, “SERENITY NOW!” on Seinfeld back in the day. In other words, I don’t think those words are supposed to sound like that.
Next week, it looks like the tequila-fueled madness continues, as does Sonja’s rather epic fall off the wagon. And the noble return of Slurinda is nearly upon us too! CLIIIIIIP!!! You know, I’m never a fan of the Ramonacoaster, but I am LOVING this Mexico ride. I don’t want to get off.
TELL US: ARE YOU GLAD BETHENNY INVITED RAMONA ON THE TEQUILA EXCURSION? CAN THEY MOVE PAST THEIR ISSUES, OR IS THIS A TEMPORARY TRUCE? IS SONJA HELPING OR HURTING RAMONA BY BRINGING UP THE PAST?
