 | The Real Housewives of New York City: Who Gossips?posted by RF Club, Group AdministratorSaturday, May 28th 2011 @ 8:14 PM (not yet rated) |
The Real Housewives of New York City!
The Brunettes Flying to Morocco! LuAnn de Lesseps, Jill Zarin, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, and Cindy Barshop.
The show opens with LuAnn announcing the Arabic word for Darling, oh that LuAnn just thinks she is so funny (sarcasm). Anyway, LuAnn goes onto to inform the women of other pertinent words and Jill starts blabbing about Jews being there first and they heard the word wrong and WHATEVER! The conversation is beyond boring so Jill decides to start the trip off with a lovely toast. This toast in my mind shows her BIG HEART, this is the toast that she has learned from her loving husband Bobby or as Jill says it, "BAWBY." "Here's to those who wish us well and those who don't can go f*@k themselves!" Who says that kind of shit? Typically a toast is just, "Here's to us" Or "Here's to us having a great,wonderful, fun time" People with BIG HEARTS don't have to wish or toast crap about anyone and if you have a BIG HEART you reach out to others and promote forgiveness, not have a 'get even' attitude. Jill Zarin is all about 'getting even' I mean she EVEN has to go after her enemies in a toast, weird?
The Brunette's arrive and it is clear they are UNCLEAR about Morrocco. Cindy is bowing hello to the staff like a dipshit. Did Cindy not see the young lady dressed in Western attire? In addition, they did not bow. Why would you BOW? Also, research before you go, dah! Oh, and who is over the stupid title, 'THE COUNTESS'??? I am! Did Jill think the staff member was going to be impressed? Whatever!
Bravo shows the place and it looks beautiful. We get to hear Kelly say in her interview it felt warm. The Riad, a traditional Moroccan home and or palace, did look beautiful!
The Blondes Flying to Morocco! Ramona Singer, Alex McCord and Sonja Morgan
No toasting for the blonde's. Instead, You see them working and sleeping as they head to Morocco! We get to hear Ramona's interview and she is honest Ramona. She admits that she enjoys her comforts when traveling and she is hoping for them. I think Ramona didn't know a lot about the country but I put money on it that she did some research by the time they left. She was hoping LuAnn had found a nice place. Ramona seems the type to not like having another person plan her vacation. This is going to come out snobby but I understand how Ramona felt. Years ago I did the cheap motels when we didn't have a pot to piss in. Many times we went to places close enough to drive back home and we just spent the day somewhere with the kids. Now, we have a little more cash and I like to stay in nicer hotels and resorts. If I am on vacation I don't want to rough it if I don't have to. I am just like Sonja I want a bathtub to soak in (if possible a jacuzzi tub), it drives my husband batty LOL!
Now, we view the blonde's travel from the airport to the Riad and funny how Bravo did not show the Brunette's drive in? Although, LuAnn was the one that booked the Riad and felt comfortable where they were staying. Ramona and Sonja are control freaks and they like to know where they are going. Alex, I think goes with the flow a lot better. Anyway, have you ever been traveling, even here in the United States, and ended up in a part of a town that you were not sure about? I don't care who you are you get scared. Listen, in my home town when I end up on what they call 'the wrong side of town' I don't get that scared. I grew up here but once,when I got lost, right outside of Washington D.C. and it was way outside of the tourist area I got scared. I just did. Now, Ramona and Sonja were in a van with a gentleman from the city and they should have been more careful with their words but I did understand their trepidation, I just did, call me snobby.
Sprinkled into this scene was the Brunette's relaxing and having an entire day before the Blonde's arrived. Did you notice Cindy bitching about the tea?? You don't bitch about the tea. Oh, and Jill and LuAnn playing tennis AND gossiping about Ramona. I am so glad Jill is NOT GOSSIPING. It cracks me up watching Jill gossip, it is just apart of her soul. You just can't change an old dog. By the way,Jill did look like a bumble bee.
The Blonde's Arrive! Ramona Singer, Alex McCord, Sonja Morgan
The Blonde's arrive and LuAnn greets them. She wants them to sit and have a drink, WTH? I don't know about you but after a long flight and a drive into a vacation destination all I want to do is go to my room unpack and unwind. I don't want to sit and chit chat with people. In addition, LuAnn as the hostess needed to respect another person's quirks. The luggage seemed safe. I would have left mine BUT as a hostess I would have respected a guest that was leery about leaving their luggage unattended. Sonja stated she has had issues before. It was her private property and she had a right to want to unload it and unpack.
Honest, Ramona says, "Hey, I just want to go to my room, shower and unpack." On top of that Ramona said it after she greeted everyone politely and cheerfully. LuAnn takes the Blonde's to their rooms and the Brunette's start gossiping. Kelly says, "Oh, good they are in good moods." Jill the ever loving BIG HEARTED lady says, "Don't kid yourself, that was all an act." So glad Jill has changed!
Ramona has a min meltdown while unpacking because it was clear that LuAnn was unable to give the women proper dress code guidance so Ramona packed EVERYTHING. I have never been to Morocco but I obviously knew more about the customs then dumbass LuAnn. Ramona could wear what she wanted as long as she wasn't visiting a holy site that is when Ramona would have to dress with discretion. LuAnn is an idiot. Anyway, LuAnn and Kelly went back to gossip with Jill and Cindy about Ramona's clothes. LuAnn claimed they were for "Girls Gone Wild" If LuAnn doesn't like Ramona's clothes why was she bitching that she wanted to go to the same designer the week before? Oh, and I am over Kelly. The dress she was wearing her boobs were hanging out of and to top it off, half the time her dresses are up to her ass and let us not forget the woman was PROUD TO BE IN PLAYBOY! HELLO! Kelly is a dumbass!
Anyway, Ramona and Sonja have fun while they are unpacking. Ramona pulls out shorts that are way too short for her age but that is Ramona. Those shorts had nothing to do with Morocco, I mean Ramona should not wear them PERIOD LOL. I loved it when Ramona pulled out the weights and Sonja rolled her eyes. Ramona works out and Sonja, well, tries to exercise but if she can avoid it she will, I am with Sonja on that one LOL. Both women looked tired and they seemed like they were a little slap happy. Have you ever been tired and wired at the same time and you get a little punchy? I have and then lookout if I get the giggles, yikes.
Notice so far I have yet to have to DISCUSS THE BLONDE'S bashing the BRUNETTE'S isn't that funny but yet ALL THE BRUNETTE'S claim they don't gossip or talk behind a person's back. DO THEY WATCH THE SHOW? (sarcasm)
Cut back to the Brunette's talking about the inappropriate clothes and Kelly is using her favorite BIG WORD for the trip, ACCLIMATE. She claims they need to acclimate to the country. Here is something NEW, LuAnn and Kelly should EDUCATE themselves about a country and area before traveling and then they would know that the women in Morocco actually do skin care to and they go out in the sun just like American women. Kelly is a dumbass.
Anyway, the conversation led to Ramona having her nose worked on, and we know Jill Zarin had her shcnozzle done so her sitting there mouthing about Ramona going to Doctors for the fountain of youth was a bit disgusting. I think LuAnn knew it was a bit hypocritical and she tried to change the subject and joke with "sex keeps you young" but it was beyond unbelievable that the women were judging. The reason I am harsh about Jill Zarin is her claim that she went to Australia and came back a changed woman and yet I see the same Jill. Gossip and 'get even' Jill. Jill feels Ramona has 'wronged' her and she will snipe about Ramona until the score is settled. Anyway, back to the 'Sex will keep you young' comment. That led to sex tapes and porno talk. Someone tweet me or leave a comment explaining Cindy Barshop, please? I have no idea what Cindy was saying or talking about I need a translation. The woman is nuts, I am telling you, Cindy is giving Kelly a run for her money in the nut category.
Hangergate!
Cindy and the hangers? Beyond weird? I am truly not liking Cindy. I think she has issues and she is definitely giving Kelly a run for the money in the crazy category. Why would three grown ladies ransack her room and take her hangers? The blonde's travel all the time and they certainly are not afraid of asking for what they want, I am pretty sure they would have asked for more hangers. I think Cindy was manufacturing drama to be on camera, I really do. If you pay attention Cindy has trouble talking in the group scenes and this is her way of getting camera time. Oh, and make no mistake Bravo cameras would have nailed them ransacking her room. I think Cindy made it all up. A bit weird but Cindy is succeeding at getting 'odd' airtime. Watch the scene again if you have time. The Blonde's had no idea what Cindy was talking about. Alex had a look on her face like Cindy had lost it. Sonja was flabbergasted, which doesn't happen often and Ramona was over it. I love how Cindy didn't like them talking about her 'behind her back' although it wasn't behind her back. Ramona knew damn well Cindy could hear her but Cindy ran out to the other Brunette's 'like high school' and told them about the so-called incident of 'stealing of hangers.' Now which lady is acting like they are in high school? The Blonde's were all there in the moment of hangergate. Cindy had to go back out to the garden terrace and inform the Brunette's of what happened. Yep it is Cindy who gossips, stirs the shit and acts likes she is in High School!
The Brunette's Shop!
The scene begins with LuAnn offended because Ramona and Sonja ditch the Brunette's for lunch. This has always baffled me in life. I would love to ask LuAnn why she was offended? Clearly the Brunette's can't stand Ramona and Sonja therefore they should have been happy that they ditched lunch but see I think the Brunette's want the Blonde's to WANT to be apart of their group. So, that is where the problem begins, the Blonde's just don't give a shit and they ditched the fake bitches. I don't blame Ramona and Sonja for not wanting to eat lunch with ladies. I mean these ladies think that Ramona and Sonja drink too much and then Kelly goes on a tirade about Sonja's home being rundown and owned by her ex-husband. Kelly needs to stop throwing stones because I have a feeling she lives in a glass house. Something tells me Kelly's ex-husband has provided for her and she might want to keep her fat mouth shut. What I don't get about Kelly is Sonja has been nothing but nice to her so why throw the stones at Sonja? Oh and Obviously, Kelly does gossip and backstab which is the one thing she claimed she couldn't stand about The Real Housewives of New York City. But make no mistake about it, Kelly and Jill will claim the show forces them to be this way. Funny how I am HALF WAY INTO this episode and I still have not written about the BLONDE'S gossiping or backstabbing. Yet, they are on the show too, wonder why Bravo doesn't make them GOSSIP OR BACKSTAB.
I do agree with Sonja that LuAnn was acting like the Lady of the Manor and when on a vacation you have to let people go their separate ways. I think that you need to agree ahead of time on certain together activities. Maybe some dinners, luncheons and activities but people need their space. I absolutely need my space and time to do activities with other people. I can't stand constant group stuff.
Anyway, the Brunette's go shopping and they just happen to bump into Brad, Jill's gay husband, from season 1. Right, we all believe that happened LOL! So, Jill explains that she did let Brad know she was coming to Morocco and he said he would definitely be in town. Then, they just happened to get invited to his birthday celebration, right. (I am shaking my head like no)
Brad on cue puts Ramona down. First it was how much Morocco was going to just loooove Ramona. Morocco gets a gazillion tourist and I am thinking Ramona is by far not the worst they have ever seen LOL. Then, Brad goes onto to tell some story about Ramona snubbing him at a party. Listen, Brad is Jill's buddy and I take what he has to say with a grain of salt. What I loved about the scene are the two nimrods, Kelly and Cindy. They both just sat and stared at Brad like he was from another planet. On a sidenote: someone needs to tell Cindy to CLOSE her mouth. I guess her teeth are so big her mouth always hangs open a little but it makes her look stupid. She looks like she is always staring with a dumb look on her face like she is in La La land or stoned.
Oh, and what was LuAnn wearing on her head? The bandana has to go, yuck.
LuAnn's Surprise!
LuAnn tells the ladies to meet her in the library in their caftans because she has a surprise. Obviously, The Brunette's have agreed to the 'caftan dress code' for downtime. LuAnn tries to gather The Blonde's and she feels that Ramona and Sonja snubbed her. I couldn't tell if they snubbed her or they were just getting ready and they knew to get their butt's in the library. Once again, LuAnn is pissed and she goes running to The Brunette's. Listen, if I am on vacation and I want to drink during the day then it is no one's flipping business. Maybe,LuAnn should have posted house rules. Ramona and Sonja enter the library and The Brunette's start with their passive aggressive digs. Your hair looks great ( which means, I know you went and got it done) and LuAnn says, "You have been partying it up all day and you are fresh as a daisy." Listen, I understand LuAnn can't stand Ramona. There is bad blood because of what Ramona tweeted about LuAnn's daughter. I don't blame LuAnn but grow some balls LuAnn and just go after Ramona for the real reason.
So, the surprise is a famous Moroccan designer. The women are excited but Ramona is Ramona. She knows nothing about the designer and she is not into Moroccan design. Yes, Ramona should have been gracious and quietly gotten measured for her dress but Ramona wants what she wants and to be honest that is a designers job, ANY designer. Alex tossed out the name Marc Jacobs,so I will use him for an example. If a designer has agreed to design for a woman no matter if they are famous or not they have to listen to the client and I am sure Marc Jacobs would be the first to tell you that. Which leads us to the log on the fire, now, Alex was great when she said, "it takes a lot of time to ask for things and very little time to go get it." Nothing to add, perfectly said, Ramona and Sonja were being snotty girls in that scene and I am sure they cringed when they watched it.
Brad's Birthday Party!
So, the ladies all go to Brad's birthday party and I guess he was staying at a Bed and Breakfast, not sure what that was all about. Anyway, snakes came out to play which looked like fun. Oh, and I must admit the snakes came out at the perfect time because Cindy was about to whine about being 'attacked' because Sonja told a true story. We all saw the incident. Cindy stood Sonja up for lunch. End of discussion. Cindy considers that being attacked. WHAT? Is that a new thing with adults? I have been attacked, bullied and harrassed whenever a person confronts you? Sometimes a confrontation is just that, a confrontation.
Anyway, Is anyone else starting to understand why Cindy and Kelly get along AND why Jill took to Cindy too? Yeah, Jill likes crazy because she can control and manipulate CRAZY. After the fun snake show we move to the end of the episode with the fortune teller. Listen, I don't put any stock in fortune tellers and this one began with Jill has a big heart and talks too much so I am pretty skeptical. Kelly is going to have a third kid, wow, earth shattering. Sonja needs to not be so money driven and then Ramona gets the whammy, there is another woman. How strange that everyone else got fluff but Ramona? In the end I truly hope Ramona and Mario are fine, I am pro-marriage or just Pro-togetherness. I hope that people who make a commitment to each other can make it work.
Well, I made it through the entire episode and not once did The BLONDE'S sit around and gossip about THE BRUNETTE'S. Oh, and they had their alone moments! So, ask yourself, which ladies gossip the most? Which ladies talk behind people's backs the most? In otherwords, which group of ladies are behaving more like High School mean girls than adult women?
