Did Bravo get some kind of two-for-one deal for their shows to film in these places?
Are these establishments possibly paying for exposure?
Is it that theyre just so jacked for attention that theyll let any and all reality shows film there?
One placeSummer Housewould never film is Nellos on the Upper East Side.
Thats where Dorinda is meeting Ramona, Singer, and an invisibility spell named Elyse for lunch.
Oh, my poor Sonja Sonj.
Weve all been there.
Also not relatable is that sad soup she orders at Nellos.
I love Sonja but this is not a sustainable plan.
How about a lifestyle change?
How about cutting back on the alcohol and adding a little bit more exercise to the mix?
How about just liposuctioning herself so much that she turns inside out?
Im sure Englewood is lovely, but they dont even have an Envy by Melissa Gorga boutique.
Why would we want to be there?
I also hate how Gurav is like, Its only 20 minutes from the city.
Dont think Sonja hasnt thought about that on day 2.5 of her liquid fast.
According to him, Sonja is losing money on this venture.
Which, I mean, duh.
Much like the lobster tank at your local diner, I dont really trust this Gurav.
Sonja is confused thatthe fashion showdidnt lead to increased sales.
No one had even seen it before its appearance on the show last episode.
She needs to wait months to see this investment pay off.
Now its time for everyone to go to Luanns comedy special at Slate.
This thing is working harder than Jude Law in 2005.
Were also going to get a performance from Luanns ex, Jacques.
I was expecting young, vital, handsome Jacques, aBalki Bartokomousimpersonator.
Instead I got the old lady from the beginning ofTitanic.
No, Jacques doesnt really look that bad.
The march of time is inevitable.
That made me think about how old I am.
That made me face my own mortality.
I was revived by a very sweet moment on the way to the event.
Leah thinks shes only being judged by her failures, not by her successes, which must be frustrating.
She tells Ramona she texted her mother and her mother didnt respond.
Ramona, probably closer in age to Leahs mother than to Leah, tells her that texts arent enough.
People hide behind texts, which anyone who has dated since 2000 will tell you is definitely true.
Ramona counsels her to take flowers to her mother and have a conversation in person.
Ramona says that her mother is just scared scared because she loves Leah so much.
of Dorinda just screaming in everyones faces, including hectoring Tinsley just a few weeks ago.
The big event at Lus big event is her inevitable return to drinking.
And then another one for good measure.
Dorinda says, Let the curse be lifted!
Dorinda thinks that Luann isnt an alcoholic but that Tom just drove her to drink.
She is being supportive of her return to drinking.
Well, then shouldnt Dorinda stop trying to influence Luann in the other direction?
The one highlight is that Luann says that she never fucked the Pirate, but that Sonja did.
But Sonja is in the audience saying, Yes she did!
She told me she did!
Sorry, but I choose to believe Sonja.
Ramona sneaks off to the ladies room in the middle and drags Sonja along with her.
Everyone congeals downstairs after the event and Dorinda and Tinsley are back at each others throats.
(I have been in both situations.)
Invite Leah, even though she thinks Dorinda is intimidating.
Ramona blurts bug-eyed into the conversation, wanting so desperately to be.
Not really, Leah dismisses with a shrug.
I like this Leah.
Her daughter showed her how to do this over FaceTime yesterday, but shes still a little fuzzy.
How does she join this room?
When does she put in the password?
She scoops up her chihuahua and sits him in her lap, letting his jittery warmth comfort her.
This is the first time shell see a group of people in weeks.
Shes hoping for connection.
But it wont be.
But still, Jill Zarin doesnt know that yet.
Join meeting with audio.
