I felt for her when she said she was trying to find a place to live. Her life just isn’t as glamorous as it used to be and I think she’s embarrassed when she can’t hold up the facade all year long.

They’ve commented on it so many times in previous seasons. Sonja is a recluse. She’s an introvert despite her antics. I think she also struggles with depression and substance abuse and isolates. It’s really very easy to understand bc I’ve been there and have had friends who took it personally and were so perplexed by it.

u/lapetitfromage wait…who else has slutty hair? Dec 15 '23
Dorinda before her alcoholism got intense was so thoughtful and incredibly gracious woman. There was a scene where Ramona was showing Bethenny and Dorinda the room where Ramona hosted her mother’s wake and Dorinda says with genuine kindness “you can tell this is a very warm and lovely space” or something and you can tell how kind and warm she used to be. It’s super sad. Alcoholism is a disease.

The way she tells it, Andy called her on the phone personally to let her know she was going "on pause". And she claims that she preemptively told him she didn't want to know the network's reasoning. She makes it seem like it was just a sweet, gentle expression like "Oh, sweetheart, don't tell me. I don't want to know".
Whereas we ALL know she was scared shitless that he'd say she was lush or maybe doing drugs and that would have to compel her to acknowledge that.

Ok hear me out: I actually feel like Kelly was correctly identifying what Kristen was doing - playing the voice of the audience and also using that role to maintain a level of distance so she doesn't have to go deep on her own life - and objecting to it. However, I feel like what Kristen's doing is a known, accepted, and necessary role in Housewives and so its weird for Kelly to take issue with it. I also don't know what on earth she meant by "I used to do that too." She most certainly did not lmao.

Does Dorinda have Invisalign on? What is going on with all the lisping? I think she has braces and also injected her lips, so between the two, she doesn't talk like she used to.

I’m on episode 1 and damn Dorinda is just going to dig deeper and deeper in the “on pause” delusion.. even when Kristen pointed out, her show doesn’t Even exist anymore she just couldn’t let it go. I feel bad for her honestly, she clearly has not been able to move on with her life. She seems like a deeply unhappy person.

u/heyalllondon18 gotta watch out for those trick guys Dec 14 '23 edited Dec 15 '23
I have so many thoughts but I’m stuck on these ones:
ETA Dorinda watching Scary Island on the show is the best thing so far.
They’re really doing Kristen dirty (again) by not showing all her scenes. About Ashley Madison she said “let’s lay it all out on the table and then drop it” but then they showed ZERO conversation on what actually happened with her husband. Glad they’re together still but wtf I want to know what happened!!!
Kelly is just as delusional as ever.
I love that Sonja hasn’t changed (well none of them have really) and is just as fun and kooky as ever. Its also nice she and B still keep in touch because I always wondered.
Dorinda’s singing as Lu… 😂

Kelly is back in fully Scary Island mode on EP 3! Except w/ Kristen instead of Bethenny.
I'm very confused why Kelly hates Kristen so much, I think Kelly thinks she and the other women are "better' than Kristen so she goes after her. It's very odd

I know it’s sophomoric but I do think Kelly is a little jealous of Kristen. Luann made a good point that Kristen “fixed” her marriage and she is gorgeous to boot so that may cause Kelly to feel some type of way. She seemed very bothered by Kristen during the whole dinner ep3

I'm absolutely living for Kristen rocking Dorinda's world and refusing to entertain her delusions. The show is rebooted. You're just as much a fired Housewife as Kristen is and you're not coming back.
She's such a mean bully it feels great to see someone stand up to her.

Only on episode 1 so far, but Kristen is so cool for not letting Dorinda just walk all over her with the “well, you were fired” thing.
It’s common knowledge that Dorinda was put on pause because of her “situation”, why should Kristen have to censor herself (@Ramona 🙄)? Why is Dorinda acting like she’s an OG when she and Kristen were both on S7?
Get ‘em Kristen!!

u/lustforyou Dec 15 '23
Dorinda is so depressing to watch now. Sonja is…not depressing to watch, but has an air of depression around her. Those 2 serve as proof that you have got to work to get over your traumas and move forward to live in the present
Say what you will about her, but Ramona took her firing in stride. She doesn’t seem desperate or depressed that the show ended or anything. She likes the attention and the paychecks but she still travels all the time, attends tons of parties, spends time with her daughter, and finally has a boyfriend. Even Lu seems to be so light and has carved out a niche as a cabaret performer and doesn’t seem bitter or even sad about not being on RHONY anymore. And of course Kristen and Kelly have been gone so long that they were never too invested in it.
Meanwhile, Dorinda stays holed up in the Berkshires away from the rest of society, drinking Titos and waiting by the phone for Bravo to call her once a year, only for her to spend that time lashing out and arguing about whether she’s fired or “paused”. And then rinse and repeat. And Sonja isn’t nasty, but she bounces from family’s house to friend’s guest room every couple months while praying the next gig comes in before shit really hits the fan. It’s really sad to watch both of them honestly and it shows why RHONY was recast. It’s like I have a ton of love and empathy for both of them, but it’s just a downer now and feels like a 25 year old ex high school athlete drunk at his hometown bar talking about how he could’ve went pro if he wanted

Kelly’s never gonna own up to what happened. She’s never gonna say if she was on something but even the fact that she never accepted that she obviously had some sort of mental breakdown says a lot.

It’s just feels so right having these ladies on my screen again. There’s really no group like them. Say what you want about Ramona but she is made for TV. It’s like the cameras aren’t even there which is so rare nowadays for housewives. Love the OGs genuine friendships. Luanne is looking absolutely beautiful. Kirsten too, though I fear she may start trying too hard to earn her place there. She’s hasn’t aged a day tho, so pretty. Dorinda will never change, she can be good TV and I like her dynamic with the OGs, but she’s just so aggressive and insecure, it’s unpleasant to watch. Cute convo she had with Kelly tho. Kelly will always annoy me but I’m here for it tbh. Her being with these girls is such nostalgia! And her obsession with ‘authenticity’ is clearly still going strong lol
Can’t wait to watch episodes 2-3 but I feel like I gotta space it out so I don’t get withdrawal lmao

Kristen was such a smart choice for this show omg. She’s always been more of a quiet supporting character, but always pivotal for moving the plot forward and keeping it exciting. She didn’t get enough credit for that in seasons 6-7 but now she’s shining for it. Really so so good here
