The bar may be low, but I am skipping over it.
(Did I just discover my Housewives tagline?)
Im a softer, nicer, warmer, more caring person.
Yes, thats Roy-family heinous, but perhaps shes just leaning into the theme!
Its another extremely popular franchise, with countless stews and deckhands to choose from.
Do I have to think of everything?
Kate Chastain is nowhere to be seen, but there is staff aplenty to handle the copious drink orders.
She asks for an extra shot in her margarita foreshadowing!
Being on a reality show, she says, you become more self-aware, absolutely.
Self-awareness (or the lack thereof) is very much the theme of the episode.
Ramona gets defensive and calls herself a girls girl, which is one of her more unhinged proclamations.
Despite Kyles attempts at peace-making confrontation makes her anxious, okay?
The long-awaited yacht showdown between Kenya and Ramona isnt as satisfying as it should be.
Youre a fucking asshole.
Its Luann and not Kenya who delivers the real kiss of death for Ramona.
I feel sorry for her, she says.
I feel sad for her because she hasnt grown as a person.
The rest of the episode does not help Ramonas case.
Its not really about the glam (or the pasta), of course.
The problem that all the other Housewives have with Ramona is that shes Ramona.
They are five days into a vacation with this woman, and that is five days too long.
Not since Jill was exiled from Scary Island has a New York Housewife been so unwanted.
Its honestly a little hard to watch.
You mostly wish Bethenny were there to yell at her to go to sleep.
She calls Ramona an entitled freaking frail old lady.
The other all-stars express relief that theyll probably never have to spend time with Ramona again.
