Real Housewives of NYC 8/6

[Deleted]

Did anyone watch last night?

I thought the whole wine tasting thing with Ramona was kind of messed up. I agree that LuAnn knew exactly what she was doing when they set that up.

Speaking of LuAnn, WTF does she want another baby for? I can't fathom having a child when you are in your 40s, not even 'commited' to someone and you have 2 grown children.

The whole Sonja/Heather thing makes my head hurt. I don't like Heather but I think she is smart and a real business person. Sonja wants to have a successful business but she doesn't want to put much work in it. And why was she calling herself a client of Heather's when she isn't paying her? Weird.

I'm over all of the Housewives franchises and their businesses. It is just annoying to watch at this point.

agree w/ everything you said.

it was so hard to watch sonja drunk at the dinner. calling out luann and her boyfriend. i'm not a fan of luann, but ugh, it was so awkward.

the band that luann hired KILLED me. so funny and i can't believe they did that. and the fact that carole thought it was funny makes me love her even more.

I forgot about this! Holy shit! That was SO funny, especially because it was The Countess who hired them. LOL.

I do think Luann was trying to set up Ramona and it wasn't very nice. And Ramona taking a call during SonJa's meeting? How rude. I agree with Heather, SonJa really doesn't appreciate that they are working for her for free, I wish H would have said that to her to her face about clients pay.

I love Carol but her going on and on about the Indian thing was a bit much.

Luann's band was classic. So not chic.

And what's up with Aviva's dad? He got creepy quick like. They were on WWHL last night but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

Aviva's dad was creepy from the start.

That band was hysterical. I'm guessing they solely accepted that job offer purely for the national exposure. As soon as I saw those mohawks, I knew they weren't going to stick to playing christmas tunes. Between this band and the weirdo singer from Aviva's party, I'm finding the musical acts a lot more entertaining than the actual wives.

Here is my feeling on the wine tasting thing - if Ramona touts herself as a wine professional and believes she has a quality product, then doing a blind tasting of her own wine shouldn't be a problem.

I agree with this but let's be honest here... hardly any of these housewives who create a brand after they've been on the show are experts in their field. I think everyone knows that, and so does LuAnn.

LuAnn, LuAnn, LuAnn! What a weirdo. I think she did try to set Ramona up, but Ramona didn't take the bait, so now she's trying to downplay the whole thing. LuAnn would be the first one to call Ramona out if she did the same thing to her.

I don't know what to think about this whole baby with Jacques thing. First, did she really say that she'd have a baby just to keep Jacques? That sounds healthy! Also, I remember seeing a preview a few weeks back where it looks like LuAnn is caught in a compromising situation with some Johnny Depp lookalike. This whole relationship may be over before the end of the season.

Also, LuAnn would be the first one to say "Darling, everyone knows we don't say Indian anymore!" with her smug little eye roll. I guess I'm just over her!!

I have to say I'm on Sonja's side. This is her baby, her product and if she's not happy, then they shouldn't go through with it. I understand that Heather thinks she's helping out, and feels a little used, but that still doesn't mean you get to hijack someone else's idea/project and do whatever you think is best. Sonja still has a say here! Obviously, there should be compensation, or at least some discussion about payment/services, etc. You could tell just by looking at her that she wasn't on board with that whole line of thinking during the first meeting.

Finally, these ladies really need to reconsider whatever system they use to book entertainment!!

See I really disagree with this. Sonja keeps changing her mind and doesn't really seem to even have a clear vision. She strikes me as someone who said, "Oh this sounds like fun! I think I'll try being a businesswoman!" And enjoys the fun part of creating a product or service but isn't seriously interested in the actual work that goes on behind it. Total Team Heather over here.

I don't think Sonja has any idea of what she wants. I think she just wants someone to tell her, and she is not liking what anyone is bringing to the table.
