I disagree about what Aviva said regarding Ramona. I don't think Ramona drives Sonja to drink and party in an attempt to make herself look better. Ramona had no problem being a boozy party girl in Season 1 when Sonja wasn't on the show. As well, Aviva was incorrect about Ramona and Sonja being the ones dancing on the tables in St Barths, so she constructs an argument without facts. Furthermore, her "you two were sleeping naked" comment had a stench of homophobia attached to it (add that to her father describing his latest side piece as having "European features" and Aviva quoting Rush Limbaugh and it's a clear picture of where her head is at). And let's not even touch the "You didn't welcome Reid to the island! It was traumatic for me!" bullshit because it's total nonsense.

Ramona called it when she said an awful lot of women would lose a leg for the advantages Aviva has, which was a great retort to Aviva's "You think I don't know PAIN?! I lost a leg!" when the conversation was about how rough life is for Sonja. It's always about Aviva and Ramona called it right.

Luann came across amazingly during the Sonja portrait scenes. That was just plain sad to watch and Luann was a first class friend and a good lady there. I hope that what we saw was the REAL Luann, the person she is when the cameras aren't rolling, I really liked that person.

Agreed on all accounts.

You know you've effed up when some 73% vote Team Ramona vs. Team Aviva on Watch What Happens Live. I love me my Pinot Singer, but I know she's off her rockers, so to see the audience shift like that is pretty telling.

I have no doubt she is the blind item that people mentioned about a new New York castmember who regrets joining the show.

Wow, the Real Housewives fan in him came out lol. The backlash must've been huge if he's having her back on his show next week. I do think regardless of his opinion he was way too harsh and opinionated without actually seeing the full reunion. He didn't really allow her to speak. That was very odd and unlike what I've seen of him previously.

Anderson calling her out was fantastic! He spoke so much truth "I dont care, your not 12 years old" THANK YOU. Attacking her weight was abiove and beyond and this is one of those moments where she should just own it and admit it is not ok but she felt attacked and it was the first thing that came to her instead of shifting blame and victim playing. Glad he called her on always playing a victim too and she had no defense for it other than shes always being attacked - but fails to realize its because of her own actions.

Sounds to me like shes going back to do damage control and I hope he rakes her over the coals again.

Listen, Avivia is atrocious. I hate her far more than I thought I would, but i do think that she is correct in Sonja clearly having an issue. Shes hitting the bottle in a way that above and beyond what it normally is, and it is to deal with her disaster of a life at the moment. I think that Ramona is a horrible friend because she just goes with it, boozing it up and everything is fine. There is a reason it was Luann S called and not Ramona, because Ramona really is drinking friend and thats about it at this point. To see someone like Ramona encourage someone in Sonjas situation is really sad. As for them naked in the bed, i do see your point and it is likely valid, but i do think its odd for women their age to get blackout drunk and wakeup naked in bed together, i think thats odd for anyone of any age actually. Its drunken behavior, something that happens as a direct result of drinking to or near the point of a blackout. And they were conspiring in how to get reid to leave and them being swimming naked as he arrives was complete, utter disrespect and plain trashy.

Really, what Aviva vs Ramona boils down to is they are both similar in the way that everything and anything is all about them, all the time. Where they differ is when Avivia goes on the attack she goes straight to your face and goes off while Ramona makes snide remarks and wuns away like a child because she cant face anything. They both play victim now.

What will come out of this is an amazing smackdown at the reunion, hopefully. When is this season over? I feel like it should be soon and at the same time I feel like its just getting good!

I don't think Sonja has shown herself to be an alcoholic. While on vacation she got knock down drag out drunk--on vacation--but we haven't seen her like that in New York. I think Aviva is off the mark there. After what we've seen with Taylor and Kim on RHOBH, I'd worry about them being an alcoholic/drug addict. Sonja is a saint compared to them.

It's basically over. Next episode is the finale, then the reunion is next.

I dont think Sonja is an alcoholic, I do think that going through all she is going through hitting the bottle isnt a good idea, esp as often as she does to the point she does and I think Ramona always having another drink ready for her doesnt help.

Normally id say they are pushing it with all these 3 part reunions, but i think an entire hour could be ramona vs aviva! lol.

I love the three parters. They had one last season too didn't they? I believe it was aired as two hour and a half specials, which is the same thing.

I wonder if they'll air one of the reunions, either NJ or NY before an episode of Miami. Considering they have a total of six reunion episodes to play with I think that would be smart.

Me too! I love Miami so far!

I think Ramona got Aviva right this week... she's got the biggest stick up her ass, more so than Luann! What a buzzkill. However, I do say Aviva needs to come back next season. She brings some drama and has a much bigger backbone than Alex did. Can you imagine an Aviva/Luann argument?

I also love me some Heather and Carole - so I hope they both come back as well!

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
