Lets get one thing clear right out of the gate: This season is not last season.

This season is not that season.

Yes, it starts with news rather than the footage of the women.

Based on several news reports, we hear about Luanngoing back to rehab and getting sued by her children.

But these events arent previews of what were going to see this season.

Its more of a description of what mental state the women are in.

Of course the biggest comedian is Sonja Tremont Morgan of Free Conference Call Dot Com Morgans.

This is more bananas than three truckloads of yellow Laffy Taffy.

Why would she like that?

Why would a woman who still uses her sister-in-laws butler want to be on the bottom socially?

Like she enjoys being the passive participant in anal sex?

But isnt the bottom Sonjas default role?

Can I just watch her for the rest of the season?

The rest of the women arent nearly as winning.

(A little aside about Barbara K. Im not quite sure what to do with her.

They didnt give her an apple.

So, should we judge her now?

Should we give her like 2.5 episodes?

You tell me.)

Ramona and Luann will never truly get along.

Yeah, that reunion.

While Ramona might have been factually wrong, spiritually she was mostly right.

This Luann and Dorinda spat is new and weird, though.

Has she been holding a grudge all of these months over that?

Dorinda being Dorinda, she is now going full scorched-earth on her former bestie Luann.

Second of all, this gesture displays one of my favorite emotions: pruel.

More of this yo.

Shockingly, Ramona is on Luanns side in this battle.

I think this is good advice.

That seems like the humane thing to do.

Ramona flirts with absolutely everyone.

The thing is Ramona is so bad at flirting.

She has less game than the Sunday after the Super Bowl.

Then she points out just how flexible she is.

Shes like anS&L(as Don Jr. calls it) sketch of a horny old housewife.

Its both kind of comforting and amazing.

That, right there, is Tinsleys whole life in one sentence.

That leaves us with Bethenny.

She has to leave a photo shoot to just cry in the bathroom for a minute.

Who knows what that could possibly mean.

It was the sound of someone creeping in the bushes to get closer to hear.

Soon that noise was joined with a distinct hum, like a breeze blowing over something hollow.

Aviva Drescher was too close to getting back on the show to have her cover blown now.
