Its delightful, its delicious, its de…oh forget it.
Get me out of here and let me go back to my grave.
At least Dorinda leaves the dinner to go home and watchGhost Hunters.
Maybe shell know how to fight all of these spirits.
I think its really something else.
Now that shes single and aging, that has been ripped away from her.
Either all of this or shes just an asshole.
Ramona says in front of them, Yeah, but you are the cute one.
Good for Ramona, going for the best of the bunch.
If you ask me, this should have ended the interlude at the bar.
One of the guys is ineligible, the other is a sandsnake fromBeetlejuicein Rhode Island for the weekend.
What is the appeal of continuing to talk to them?
All of this is totally unnecessary.
The women dont need to be there talking to these jerkholes.
Now, he is a jerk, but I get his frustration.
The women dont see him as an individual.
He is just a prop.
He is something for all of them to prove something against.
He is a hunk of meat.
He is an object.
Because of all this, Ramona starts behaving abominably even for Ramona.
When Sarah says Ramona hasnt even tried to talk to her yet, she shrugs and says, Whatever.
I mean, its awful, but its also why I bought a ticket to this particular show.
Once theyre all sitting down at the table, chaos breaks loose.
Its just all so much.
Its like 10 million macaws being sucked into a million jet engines.
Outside she says, I threw a ravioli at her and I dont care.
Sometimes you just need to throw a ravioli.
And a ravioli is especially devious.
Throwing a piece of angel hair or penne is one thing.
Instead, Leah throws a big, solid ravioli.
Outside things get even crazier as Leah and Tinsley start making out with tongue for some reason.
I think… No wait.
I have to say that… [Justin Trudeau length pause.]
Im not doing it.
I cant take the bait on this one.
I will leave this to the professionals.
Luann says, Its one thing to be upset, its another thing to be aggressive.
She threw a ravioli!
Dorinda answers, Well, I wish I had stayed for that!
Meanwhile Ramona says, If you want to hang out with us, there is a certain demeanor.
Okay, she and Sonja are totally out of line here.
For them to pretend like they are above Leah is ludicrous.
But also, I dont take any of Leahs defenses of her behavior seriously either.
She says, repeatedly, I am who I am and I cant change that.
Maybe that means not drinking around the women.
Maybe that means promising not to throw things at people or attempt to tear down the decorations.
Maybe that means taking a back seat in altercations and waiting to adjudicate them later.
This by no means changes the Leah that we know and love.
She just doesnt want any rules at all imposed on her.
She wants to act how she wants to act when she wants to act that way.
This is the same defense used by fellow reality psychopaths like Jax Taylor.
Well, thats just how I am.
Yeah, well you’ve got the option to both be better.
Which leads me to her second defense, which she spells out at lunch with her parents.
She says she didnt do anything these women havent done before.
Yeah, but that doesnt mean they act appropriately either.
It just means youre in the same cell as the rest of these criminals.
This all gets squashed at the ladies tea party.
It is a nice sweet moment, which means it evaporates like the morning dew in Palm Springs.
This is some extortion bullshit and I do not like it one bit.
She didnt even tell them they were struggling!
Who is Dorinda to be the arbiter of what and how much people share about their lives publicly?
