That is now over.
Im fine with that.
Give the craftspeople all the time they need.
Quality is worth waiting for.
There are even new taglines, and Ramonas, Who cares if Im self-involved?
Who else should I be involved with?
Okay, so far so good.
The ladies are back, yeah, Im feeling good.
Leahs on the phone with her baby daddy Rob, asking him to come to a Halloween party.
It cuts to her confessional and …
…
Tire screech.
Needle skips off the record.
A jaundiced baby cries out for comfort it will never receive.
The ghost of Buster Keaton goes Homina homina homina homina for 17 hours straight.
Swamp Thing motorboats the long-decayed toosh of the Lindbergh baby.
Then it goes away and, for a minute, I thought it was a fluke.
I thought maybe I just dreamed that Leah beamed into the show from a Zoom call from hell.
She is also being recorded from some sort of Tether radio station.
Next we see Ramona in her kitchen, also dressed down, and her background is the worst.
It looks both like her kitchen and an illustration of her kitchen.
Did they dry out Sonja Tremont Morgan of the Booty Tooch Loofa Brush Morgans at her spa?
These new confessionals dont make much sense to me.
(Oh, if only!)
What exactly is going on?
This is so unlike Bravo.
They often talk about their shows having the Bravo sheen.
They need to look glossy and expensive and like something we probably couldnt afford even though we can.
Now they just look like a mess.
Did someone just botch the whole job?
Its a tough time.
We all need to make sacrifices.
I just was hoping it wouldnt come to my Housewives.
Or, even if it did, I would appreciate it if Bravo leveled with us.
I wish they could have said, Hey, listen.
Heres what we had to do.
We know its not up to our usual standards, but kindly bear with us.
They couldnt even plop a Pardon Our Dust notice up on their website.
They just soldiered on hoping that none of us would notice.
Hello, I was getting lit with my hair and makeup team.
Bless her so hard.
Dorinda looks good, but is once again behaving badly.
Shes part of the group that piles on Ramona for being a dingus at the party.
When they talk about this at the party, Ramona says Dorinda is probably mad because shes drunk.
And she had been here an hour and a half boozing up.
Ramona just sits there.
Jill Zarin says, Is this what happens now?
Dorinda just walks into a room and attacks someone.
Thats the recap of every episode now, Jill.
Thanks for doing my job.
Also, boy has the show changed.
Shes going to film herself as long as the producer calls and starts asking her questions about her episode.
Its going to happen any moment now.
They must have tons of things to ask.
Oh, where are they?
Is this thing on?
Ally, will you check the phone?
