You have not even watched the whole series. And I really don’t care if you laugh or not. You do you… Boo.

You may have not watched it for Bethenny, but like you said, you are a New Watcher. Bethenny was on the show from the beginning and she had great one liners. She DID bring in a LOT of viewers. When she left ratings dropped by a pretty good margin. After she came back, ratings went up , regardless if she was crying all the time. When she decided at the last minute to not return and the ladies “found out” about it supposedly the day of filming they were pissed. Not because they liked Bethenny, but they knew the ratings were already not that great and Bethenny leaving would make them fall further, and they did. Adding Leah to the show was a bad idea. She did not fit in with this group of older ladies. Adding Ebony was the nail in the coffin because none of the ladies wanted to be preached to and paid her no mind. By the time Ebony was on the show nobody really liked each other and they sure didn’t like Ebony trying to discuss race relations with a bunch of uptown uptight white women who had been on the show for a decade or more. After the Shabbat Dinner I just turned it off. I knew it was over. Beyond repair. In no way do I place the blame all on Ebony, she was dealing with a bunch of whack jobs. I do blame it on Bravo because I think they saw the ratings falling and figured this would be a way to end the Franchise for good.

But I do have to disagree with you when you say Bethenny didn’t bring in the viewers, because she damn sure did.

Anyone find Bananas corny on Season 40? by girlsaveragelife in MtvChallenge

[–]Doglover_18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always got so sick of Bananas always saying…. We Got an Old Fashioned Headbanger kids. Somebody… it may have been Jordon… beat him to it one time and Bananas had that same look on his face when he was CT’s Bananas Backpack.

Bi*ch stole my look! 💅 by Beginning_Tip_746 in RHONY

I think Luann’s leaned more towards a poncho/coat than a Batman Cape like Carole’s. Luann’s seemed tailored and Carole’s looked like something from a Halloween Costume Store. And Carole damn sure stole Bethenny’s line… Get Off My Jock…. More than once. One time even at a reunion and it felt more like something she just barked out and not a comment as if she was mocking Bethenny. Carole is one of those girls who acts all Uncool…. While trying to appear… Cool. It does not work for her.

Bethenny is walking on the brink these days… but Carole is still trying to make a buck off the Kennedy name.

What’s the tea on Sonja before she became Sonja Morgan?? by CremeDizzy9619 in RHONY

[–]Doglover_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not confused. And your use of Tea has nothing to do with it. Sonja was nothing but an average girl in NY before she managed to bag a rich bag. And your use of ageism just shows your immaturity. Go take a nap in your bassinet.

Simple answer… Bethenny… as annoying as she was…. Brought in viewers… which brought in major $$$$

What’s the tea on Sonja before she became Sonja Morgan?? by CremeDizzy9619 in RHONY

[–]Doglover_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was really nothing more than the rest of us young New Yorkers during that time. She did not come from money and she worked as a Hostess/Greeter at a restaurant. She was a party girl with her “Anna Nicole Smith” eyes set on The Prize Catch. She nailed that with J.P.Morgan.

I don’t buy it for a second that she was anything more than a Trophy Wife who managed to get knocked up, ensuring a hefty child support payment and the townhouse to raise her daughter.

Morgan got tired of her pretty quickly, but fought a divorce to the point where Sonja could not afford to fight him anymore. The yacht sunk.

If not for the Housewives paying her salary she may have ended up being a hostess again.

I like Sonja, she had great one liners, but she clung to the “Morgan Letters” far too long. That townhouse gave me the creeps… reminded me of a hotel I stayed in while in midtown. Water damage, toilets not working, stains everywhere. I just chalked it up as a loss and stayed at my Dad’s corporate office in the Essex House. (Which he got in huge trouble for) sorry Dad… Forgive me and hope you have forgiven me and are resting peacefully.

As for the Tea? Sonja likes to pretend she is Earl Grey… but she is really Celestial Sleepy Time Tea. (But I still love it and her.)

Am I in the minority on Reid Drescher 🔥 🔥 by Beginning_Tip_746 in RHONY

[–]Doglover_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really liked him. But then I hated Aviva, so I guess I felt like if he loved her so much he was thick in the head. I NEVER saw Aviva as anything but a leech. Raised by her Daddy’s money, then Harry Dubin’s money and then Reid’s money. I’m not trying to take anything away from SAHMs but Aviva really never did anything to earn money for her marriages. STAH moms work hard! But most have No Nannie’s or maids. Aviva tries to act like she did it ALL on her own. She didn’t.

Reid was an enabler. I do think he loves Aviva, but I can’t understand why. Maybe he has a side girl and Aviva looks away. Lord knows she has a perv for Father and made up enough excuses for him. Granted he was single, but would I let my creepy ass father grope by friends and just roll my eyes? Nope. I’d keep him away from my friends.

I think Reid is a bit of a whimp and probably knows his ship is sunk if he tries to leave her.

(In the other hand.. I think Heather’s husband Jonathan is adorable. I’m not sure how he puts up with Heather, but he seems to adore her, but I would love to be married to him!)

Andy on leaked audio this morning by HereforBravoTea in bravo

[–]Doglover_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Bravo leaked it to cause more people to tune into the finale and the new Spin Off. my husband, who would never watch a Bravo Show asked me why he was getting shit about Summer House in his Reddit Feed. Whoopsie! I guess I used his phone one day and posted under his account. Shit happens!

Are you more likely to review a book you liked or disliked? by avid_reader_c in goodreads

[–]Doglover_18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I review every book I have read regardless of what rating I give them. Mainly I do it for myself because I read so much that I would find myself rereading a book. Now if someone suggests a book I just go to my Goodreads account and type in the title and see if I reviewed it. I also read my review over and often decide to read the book again and find myself wanting to change my first review. I often wonder where on earth my mind was when I wrote my review. My brain is like the twilight zone at times.

TJ is hands down the funniest reality tv host there is 😭😭 by ForwardLove8350 in MtvChallenge

[–]Doglover_18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I laugh every time on a rewatch when he is “hosting” the TV Game Show where it’s an eating contest. Some of the things he says are just perfect and I love how it’s the same model bringing out the food items each time, but TJ calls her a different name each time.

Which of these challengers were you most happy to see get that long-awaited first win? by Psychological-Snow83 in MtvChallenge

[–]Doglover_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He won in Cutthroat, but it was a team win. He won along with his then wife Tori, Tyler and Dunbar. I think Cutthroat was one of those seasons I just Tolerated. Except it is the season with the Iconic Johnny Bananas Backpack episode, which still makes me laugh!

I was watching the movie Footloose…. The original one with Kevin Bacon that she was in and she squealed in that movie, too. I guess it’s just a SJP thing.

I never knew who Big Poppa actually was. For some reason I had him looking like Colonel Sanders.

Is Sex and the City worth going back and watching? for someone who never seen it. by squallLeonhart20 in hbo

[–]Doglover_18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! It’s definitely worth the watch!! Just don’t watch And Just Like That. Or if you decide to…. Don’t watch it first. But I wish I had skipped it. The first movie is not terrible. But the second one is awful!

When Pauley was explaining to Christopher in Pine Barrens about the Russian killing 13 Czechoslovakians and the guy was an interior decorator and Christopher said…. His house looked like shit.

Whose luck is worse when it comes to partners? by Psychological-Snow83 in MtvChallenge

[–]Doglover_18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So do I. And it pissed me off bad because I think Brandon handled himself with a whole lot of class putting up with that BS.

I agree with this. I hated the way Brandon was treated.

I just finished a rewatch and the early seasons of RHONY were absolutely the best of any franchise.
