• We pick up with the smash-up at the Cabo dinner, and Jennifer is still holding the broken glass like she’s about to reenact the Jersey version of Die Hard.

    Melissa assures her she has the wrong fucking girl. Jennifer is acting completely unhinged, while Dolores says Jennifer should get her ass kicked for breaking a glass like that.

    Jennifer starts walking up on Dolores, and a very wise Danielle says, “Don’t go there with Dolores.”

    For real. Patterson Dolores is not the one.

    Dolores knows when she’s been triggered, and she also knows when it’s time to walk away before she does something she’ll regret. That kind of self-awareness is a rare breed in the Housewives universe.

    Teresa goes after Melissa, who has left the table, and Dolores joins them, confirming what everyone already knows: Jennifer is completely out of control.

    Teresa claims she didn’t see Jennifer break the glass or point it at Melissa. Teresa misses everything. It’s honestly a gift.

    Dolores finds Margaret and Jackie and fills them in on what happened after they left. Melissa says Jennifer better stay the fuck away from her.

    Teresa eventually questions Jennifer, who has come down from her scary trance and suddenly can’t explain why she broke the glass in the first place.

    At this point, everyone agrees the night is over. They’re also all very happy they’re leaving Cabo tomorrow.

    Nothing says successful group vacation like everyone counting down the hours until they can escape.

    Melissa, Jackie, and Marge order room service because, once again, another dinner has been ruined. Apparently Cabo has become an all-inclusive resort with one very exclusive amenity: no one gets to finish a meal.

    Melissa is too irritated to eat and calls Teresa to meet downstairs because she wants to talk.

    Teresa blames Margaret for all the fighting on the trip. Melissa blames Danielle. At this point, everyone has their own designated villain.

    Melissa questions Teresa’s sudden hatred of Margaret. Teresa says it’s because of all the nasty things Margaret says, particularly about Jennifer’s marriage.

    Teresa knows how those kinds of rumors feel.

    They are finally back in the Garden State.

    We start with Margaret and her mom, Marge Sr. Margaret says her head is still spinning from the trip, but she needs to focus on arranging the gala for her hospital gown line for kids.

    I know. I know. It’s a great cause. But coming off that Cabo insanity, this is boring as hell.

    Margaret says the women all took separate flights home. That’s how bad things had gotten. They have the gala and Jennifer’s anniversary party to look forward to, so I guess they’ll all see each other there.

    Over at the Gorgas, Melissa made Joe a sandwich. I have been married to two Italian men, and let me tell you, they love when you make them a sandwich.

    Jennifer is home with her kids, who are all very cute. There are just so very many of them.

    Bill is late for dinner again, and the kids miss him. They’re thrilled when he finally comes home, but he immediately goes to work in his office. Not the pool house, mind you.

    Jennifer is embarrassed to tell him what went down in Cabo, and I would be, too.

    She went possessed.

    We also see Melissa reenacting the Cabo dinner for Joe, and he is stunned. Not exactly shocked that Danielle caused a problem, though. He thinks Danielle is trouble. And poison.

    Joe calls her the Black Widow of New Jersey.

    Bill is appalled that Jennifer threatened Melissa with the broken glass. This is a respected doctor, mind you, and Paramus is a small town. They better watch it.

    Jennifer admits that she owes Dolores and Melissa an apology and hopes they’ll accept it.

    Dolores and Frank meet up to wash their cars, and I love them together. Frank asks if he’s holding Dolores back from moving forward with another relationship. She says she doesn’t know. She went straight from her mother’s house to being married and then becoming a mom. She’s never really had to think about herself before, and Frank is her safe place.

    Frank tells her he always will be and that he’ll step aside if that’s ever what she needs.

    It’s sweet, and it actually seems sincere.

    Marge meets Teresa for lunch, and Teresa is so blond. I don’t love it.

    They dive right into the disastrous Cabo dinner. Margaret doesn’t understand Teresa’s attitude toward her. Teresa says it’s because of the things Margaret says about other people’s marriages and families. She also doesn’t like how quickly Margaret dropped Danielle as a friend.

    Margaret explains herself and says Danielle sabotages relationships. We get flashbacks of Danielle doing exactly that over the years, because apparently Bravo has the receipts.

    Teresa and Margaret agree that Teresa doesn’t have to choose sides, and just like that, they move on.

    At Jackie’s, her kids are fighting, and one of them may actually be bleeding. So, naturally, Jackie starts reflecting on all the fighting in Cabo.

    It gets her thinking about her sister, whom she hasn’t spoken to in fifteen years.

    I don’t care.

    Jackie calls her sister. It goes well. They agree to meet up sometime.

    I still don’t care.

    It’s the day of Margaret’s charity gala, and the venue looks nice in a garish, Jersey kinda way.

    Margaret is hoping the event will bring her ex-husband and stepson together after a long estrangement.

    I really don’t think people care that much.

    Jersey keeps trying to make Margaret’s family storyline happen, but there just isn’t enough there to make it interesting. I’m sure it’s meaningful to her, but watching it? I’m waiting for someone to throw a drink.

    We see Melissa at Envy, her boutique. Jackie comes by and tells Melissa that she reached out to her sister.

    Yawn.

    I literally sighed out loud.

    Melissa wants to be a role model for her daughter, Antonia, and feels like Joe puts her down when it comes to her business.

    He does.

    Jackie tells her to nip that shit in the bud, and I agree.

    Margaret’s party is about to start, and there is food everywhere. I wonder if anyone will actually get a chance to eat at this event. They usually don’t.

    Oh, they do.

    It actually goes really well, and everyone, including Jennifer, behaves themselves. Jennifer sticks to drinking water for the evening, which is probably a wise choice.

    Jennifer seeks out Melissa and Dolores to apologize. Dolores is definitely the more receptive of the two. She tells Jennifer that breaking the glass was unacceptable and that it made her snap.

    Jennifer gets it and admits she started it. They leave it at that.

    Jennifer still has Melissa to tackle, and she is dreading it.

    Melissa wants assurance that Jen is sober before she’ll speak to her. Jennifer admits she was wrong in Cabo. Melissa is still pretty pissed, but she’s glad Jennifer apologized.

    She warns Jen never to threaten her again.

    We shall see, shan’t we?

  • We pick up with Sonja still pestering Ramona about how miserable she is. The women are all wasted, but Sonja is on another level. Ramona just wants her to leave her alone. She admits she misses being married but denies being miserable. Sonja moves on and goes for another margarita.

    Tinsley hasn’t really seen Sonja drunk before and is in shock. Sonja tells Ramona she should trade her ass for her face because her ass looks better than that mess of a face. LMAO.

    Then Sonja starts looking for Luann because she wants to have sex with her, and holy shit, I haven’t been this drunk since I got my last tattoo.

    Sonja says Luann is no fun now that she is married. I beg to differ. Please see the tumble in the bushes. Luann is fun and then some.

    Sonja is all over the place and trying to make out with everyone. No one seems even remotely phased. This must be old hat.

    Oh, and Bethenny is naked. Who asked for that? Ramona says her boobs are better. Tinsley says hers are cute and staying covered. Praise the Lordt.

    Sonja starts chugging margaritas right out of the pitcher, and then she is naked, too. Dorinda doesn’t love it. She is not a naked person. Me either.

    Ramona and a naked Bethenny are in the pool with their pool noodles having a heart-to-heart about their years of miserable friendship. Bethenny is messy and crying. Her diamond earrings are huge. So are her boobs.

    Now Ramona is crying. She isn’t naked, though. She finally cops to being a miserable person and a bad friend.

    Dorinda tries to dress Sonja and describes it like trying to get a bikini on a piece of spaghetti.

    LOL.

    Bethenny is still so naked and still so messy. Someone needs to tell her to GO TO SLEEP.

    Ramona crying is super annoying. They have naked, wet hugs, and I wonder when these women will finally call it a night. It’s really been a day.

    Oh, shit. They haven’t even had dinner yet!

    This is gonna be something to see.

    Bethenny realizes she is naked and wraps herself in a towel. Sonja is wearing her bathing suit and rolling around in drunken bliss. Bethenny kisses her. Sonja wants sex.

    Everyone should really be sleeping. This is a lot.

    Bethenny is the first one at dinner again, and she is pissed. She wants to be sleeping. She starts storming through the halls and yelling for everyone to move faster.

    A drunk, tired Dorinda does not like this. She tells Bethenny to stop being so crazed. They are on vacation time! Bethenny is cranky and would much rather be napping. Like I said, everyone should be.

    Dorinda says Bethenny scared her by yelling down the hallway. Bethenny, who is a big grumpy pants like me after a day of drinking, says that’s all an act, and Dorinda takes offense. Her arms start flying, and she tells Bethenny to stop.

    Bethenny and Tinsley mock her wild gestures. Dorinda is so drunk and so mad.

    Oh, my God. There is blood.

    Dorinda grabs a knife and plunges it into the table, cutting her hand in the process. It is SO time for bed, but instead we have a calm Bethenny helping Dorinda clean her wounds.

    Drunk Dorinda plays therapist and tells Bethenny she needs to relax and stop being so perfect all the time. Bethenny wants no part of it.

    The women are trickling into dinner, and Dorinda is still going on about how Bethenny tries to be superhuman. Thank you, Dr. Tequila.

    Dorinda is so drunk, and Bethenny can’t handle her grand proclamations. Sonja is passed out and doesn’t make it to dinner at all. I can’t day drink either. Not anymore.

    I just noticed Luann is missing, too. Is she in a bush somewhere? Oh, God, I hope so.

    They go to watch fireworks, and Dorinda is still going on with her Dr. Tequila act. She says Bethenny just thinks she is special because of Skinnygirl, and Bethenny immediately thinks that Dorinda resents her success.

    They storm away from each other.

    Advice: go immediately to bed after drinking all day. Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars. Just GO TO SLEEP.

    It is finally the next morning, and everyone is up and ready for yoga. These women are true Olympians.

    Luann wants to be filled in on dinner, so Ramona gives her the rundown. Dorinda comes into the kitchen looking a little worse for wear and pretty uncomfortable. Clearly, she remembers her fight with Bethenny, but says they are great.

    Bethenny doesn’t seem to agree. She thinks Dorinda is backpedaling on all the nasty things she said. Dorinda feels rebuffed by Bethenny.

    Bethenny calls her dramatic for the bit with the knife, and they start arguing about who is a better friend. Bethenny says Dorinda has a nasty side, and boy, does she.

    Dorinda goes to her room, and Carole goes in to comfort her. Dorinda feels terrible about the fight with Bethenny but doesn’t know what to say. She certainly didn’t get off to a great start with Bethenny in the kitchen, and now she’s regretting how aggressive she can be. Dorinda breaks down crying as she admits she wishes she could handle things differently.

    Meanwhile, Bethenny is also upset and tries to clear her head at yoga. Sonja, naturally, has her own way of dealing with the stress. She FaceTimes her fake French boyfriend and gives him a little glimpse of her ass.

    At breakfast, the women admit they’re completely exhausted after everything that’s happened. Dorinda decides it’s time to talk to Bethenny and pulls her aside. She gives her a sincere apology for the way she acted, and Bethenny accepts it. She explains that she’s particularly sensitive when she feels like people resent her success, which helps explain why the argument hit such a nerve.

    After breakfast, Carole, Tinsley, and Ramona head out for a day of fishing, while the rest of the women stay behind for manicures and massages. They definitely got the better end of that deal.

    Out on the boat, Ramona immediately starts flirting with the captain, sticking her tits out and shamelessly trying to get his attention. Ramona is gross.

    Back at the house, Sonja and Bethenny gossip about Tinsley’s relationship. Tinsley reveals that she’s already planning another trip to see her boyfriend, and Sonja starts worrying that the relationship is moving way too quickly.

    Tinsley, however, isn’t worried at all. She’s ready to get married, and she seems completely convinced that this relationship is headed straight for the altar.

    Tinsley reveals that she’s planning a party to thank Sonja for letting her stay with her. I’ve let people stay with me before. Never got a party out of it. Just saying.

    Meanwhile, the fishing trip is a complete bust. None of them catch a single fish, so they decide to buy one, pretend they caught it, and bring it back to the house for dinner. The women return with their fake catch, and nobody seems to care all that much. They spend a little time at the pool before getting ready for their final night in Mexico.

    At dinner, the women play a game of “Rose and Thorn,” where everyone has to name the best and worst part of the trip. Luann completely fucks it up by announcing that her husband, Tom, is her rose. Everyone gags. Please, don’t make it about Tom.

    A tipsy Tinsley tells Bethenny how baller the helicopters were during their tour, but she can’t stop saying “fuck.” The Countess eventually has enough and tells Tinsley to stop cursing in the restaurant and, specifically, to stop saying “fuck” so much.

    Tinsley then points out that Luann is always talking about Palm Beach when Tom is actually from West Palm Beach. Trust me, in their circles, this is an important distinction. It matters.

    Luann fires back that Tinsley has to stay with her mother in Palm Beach and doesn’t even have a home of her own. And, well, she’s not wrong. But Luann is still being completely insufferable about it.

    Boy, I just did five recaps today. All Jersey and New York. I want to eat a strip steak and flip a table. Or have some tequila. Either way, I feel like I have a hangover.

  • The second day in Mexico and Dorinda is up bright and early doing yoga. She did, after all, sleep through dinner the night before. But, stunningly, Luann is also up with the cock and ready to roll. This woman is a rockstar. Last night, she was rolling around drunk in the bushes, and today she is doing a perfect downward dog like it ain’t no thing. She is my hero.

    Luann explains that the margaritas did her in. They sure did.

    Bethenny comes down and immediately starts making ass-crack wisecracks. She comments on what a tough bitch Luann is, and honestly, she’s not wrong.

    At breakfast, Carole wants huevos rancheros without the rancheros. Because apparently that’s a thing you can order. Luann says she took a tumble in the garden, and somehow doesn’t have a scratch on her. Yeah, you did.

    Tinsley’s new boyfriend and Carole’s boyfriend each send them flowers. I want someone to send me flowers on vacation. It’s kinda showy, but I would enjoy it.

    Bethenny asks if Tinsley is in love, and Tinsley does what Tinsley does and demurs. Some of the ladies are going to go surfing, but Bethenny has something else on her mind. She wants to talk to Ramona privately.

    Ramona gives Bethenny a half-hearted apology, saying she doesn’t even know why she is always picking at her. She isn’t really sorry, though. She wants something. Specifically, she wants to be invited on the Tequila Tour tomorrow.

    Bethenny views the Tequila Tour as a professional gig and doesn’t think she can risk having Ramona there. She says she has never had anyone attack her the way Ramona does. Ramona, meanwhile, thinks Bethenny takes everything too seriously. Bethenny says this goes back ten years and that Ramona clearly doesn’t like her.

    Ramona, ever the linguist, replies, “I don’t not not like you.” Whatever.

    Bethenny still doesn’t want Ramona coming on the tour, but Ramona is determined to try everything in her power to get Bethenny to change her mind. Because of course she is. This is Ramona we’re talking about. “No” is merely the beginning of the negotiation.

    Luann is going to go surfing, and I really think she may be a superhero. This woman was rolling around drunk in the bushes last night and is now out on a surfboard like she was born for this. A hungover Luann is on the water looking fantastic.

    Meanwhile, Ramona and Sonja bitch about Tinsley some more. They vent to each other for a while, because apparently they have decided Tinsley is the vacation group project.

    Tinsley wants to talk to Sonja about what happened the night before. She wants Sonja to protect her, not badmouth her. She thinks Sonja should squash the Page Six story.

    Sonja is not having it. She starts yapping at Tinsley, because apparently this conversation was never going to go the way Tinsley hoped.

    Back on the water, the ladies are surfing and actually look like they are having fun for a change. They all do a great job, too. Surfing looks fun, but I would absolutely break my face. I’m no Luann.

    All of the women meet back up at the house and then head into town to do some shopping. Bethenny admits she feels bad about excluding Ramona from the Tequila Tour tomorrow and feels like Ramona is auditioning to get on the trip. And Ramona is laying it on thick.

    While shopping, she does everything but literally perform for Bethenny in an attempt to get on her good side. She tries on a dress for Bethenny and even buys her things when Bethenny’s credit card gets blocked. Ramona is notoriously cheap, so this is really something else. Bethenny admits that Ramona is starting to wear her down. She doesn’t want to be mean, but Ramona is making it very difficult to keep saying no.

    Then Ramona buys cute little purses for all of the women and borrows money from Luann to pay for them. But oh, she didn’t even buy one for Luann.

    This broad.

    Ramona also manages to exclude Dorinda because she is so distracted trying to kiss Bethenny’s ass. Apparently, there is only room for so much ass-kissing in a day.

    Back at the villa, the women hit the pool and the hot tub and start discussing the Tequila Tour tomorrow. Ramona is exhausted from spending the entire day up Bethenny’s ass, and Bethenny finally admits she won’t leave her out of the tour.

    So there you have it. Ramona gets her way.

    Sonja sticks up for Ramona and says she used to hear Ramona and Mario having sex every night and that the sex made Ramona happy. According to Sonja, single Ramona is not happy. I guess Sonja has done the research.

    Ramona takes her new boobs for a run on the beach. She is such a…oh, I don’t even know what.

    Sonja and Ramona speak alone, and Ramona finally understands that she has hurt Bethenny’s feelings. She says she admires Bethenny’s accomplishments. Man, she really wants to go on this Tequila Tour.

    At dinner, Bethenny reminds everyone that it can’t be a blackout night because they have the tour tomorrow. Good luck with that.

    Tinsley is still going on about the Page Six story, which also mentions Ramona. Sonja and Ramona dismiss Tinsley as having a tantrum, while Carole backs Tinsley up.

    The whole fight is stupid. And boring.

    They are yelling in a restaurant. Not surprising, but still.

    Sonja says she is happy as a “lark.” None of these women have a solid grasp of their native language.

    Dorinda, mercifully, changes the subject by passing out some funny gifts to the women.

    The dinner goes pretty smoothly, and they head back to the house to go over the schedule for tomorrow’s tour. No one is more excited than Ramona. After spending the entire day campaigning for her spot, she finally got what she wanted.

    Bethenny begs her not to misbehave on the tour. Ramona looks moved, but I think it’s just one of her crazy faces. She agrees to watch herself.

    Bethenny is happy they worked things out, and Ramona is coming on the tour. After all that ass-kissing, the woman earned her spot.

    The women are all up early the next morning. Sonja announces that she is breaking her alcohol fast for this tour. Yay. This I am ready to see.

    Ramona wraps her busted-up face in a towel, and they head off to the helicopters. Naturally, she bumps her head. Oy, vey. Ramona is a mess.

    They take the helicopters right into the agave fields, which is pretty damn cool. Bethenny rubs it in a little that Ramona almost missed the whole thing, and Ramona admits that she is happy to be there.

    Bethenny is really proud of what she has put together, and she should be. This is clearly a big deal for her, and after all the drama about whether Ramona would even be allowed to come, it has finally paid off.

    The women head off into the tequila plant and start out with some Skinnygirl margaritas. Bethenny says this is going to be the Olympics of drinking and that these women have been preparing for ten years. She’s not wrong.

    They start sampling some ridiculously strong tequilas, and everyone starts getting buzzed pretty quickly, which is, after all, the entire point of this trip.

    Ramona starts talking about how sensual the tequila is and how it explodes in her mouth and dribbles down her chin, and suddenly I am sick.

    The town of Tequila is amazing, though, and they head to an incredible lunch already lit up, only to find out that it is a multi-course tequila tasting. Because apparently these women haven’t consumed enough alcohol yet.

    They all toast to Bethenny, and Ramona manages to keep her trap shut this time. Progress!

    They see some children riding horses, and Tinsley wants to take one home.

    No. That is frowned upon.

    Sonja is getting big buzzed, and I anticipate that won’t end well.

    They return to the villa and keep drinking because, why not? Their spirits are high, and it is a shit show.

    They take turns jumping in the pool. Luann looks amazing, and Sonja wants to make out with her right off the bat. Tinsley looks frightened. I don’t blame her.

    Dorinda nearly bashes her head coming off the rope swing, because apparently Ramona isn’t the only one having a rough day with gravity.

    Sonja is babbling, and Ramona tries to share something about her marriage to Mario. This triggers Sonja big time, and she starts going on and on about how miserable Ramona is now that she isn’t having sex every night.

    Ramona tells her she’s fine, but Sonja won’t quit. Bethenny tells Sonja to back off, but there is no stopping this woman.

    Finally, Ramona screams, “I am happy, bitch!”

    And we get a “To Be Continued…” screen.

    Well, there it is. I guess I better gear up for Part 3. It looks like there is bloodshed.

    I am ready.

  • The women fly into Puerto Vallarta for Bethenny’s tequila trip, and Mexico is already off to a fantastic start because Bethenny is puking.

    Ramona, meanwhile, is sharting.

    Yes. We are approximately five minutes into the trip.

    Ramona has also apparently gotten a chemical peel, and her face looks like “a pizza with no sauce,” according to Sonja. It is a dead-on-balls-accurate description.

    Carole is craving Taco Bell.

    In Mexico.

    Carole makes me bored.

    Bethenny, meanwhile, would blow Simon Van Kempen for a slushie.

    Sonja, Dorinda, Ramona, and Bethenny pile into the car on the way to the villa and decide to play Fuck, Marry, Kill using the other Housewives.

    The results are not surprising.

    Everyone is fucking Luann.

    Hands down. There isn’t even a debate.

    Poor Tinsley is getting killed, and Sonja takes it one step further by calling her unfuckable.

    Ouch.

    In the other car, the women discuss Tinsley’s new boyfriend, Scott. They had a five-day date in Vegas, which is certainly one way to get to know someone. Tinsley is all in.

    Hope that goes well for you, Tinsley.

    Sonja then shows the women a dick pic she received.

    It was from a wrong number.

    LMAO. Oops.

    The women finally arrive at the villa, and holy shit, it is spectacular. It is right on the ocean, the grounds are gorgeous, and I want to live there. The staff is lovely, too.

    Naturally, Ramona immediately starts bitching at them.

    Ramona is the worst. She makes me clench in places I won’t discuss.

    Sonja announces that she won’t be drinking on the trip.

    Oh, come on!

    We get another look at the absolutely perfect villa and grounds. The pool is gorgeous, everything is beautiful, and for a brief moment, it seems like these women might actually have a relaxing vacation.

    Then we get to the rooms.

    Or, more specifically, the choosing of the rooms.

    Sonja and Ramona immediately start scamming for the best one, as usual. They are not about to politely accept whatever room they’re assigned. They want the good shit.

    But this is Bethenny’s trip, and Bethenny is not having it.

    She wants order.

    There will be an organized system for assigning the rooms, because even in paradise, Bethenny needs some fucking structure.

    Bethenny tells Ramona and Sonja they are acting like animals and grabby twats.

    What else is new?

    She asks them if they would want their daughters to act like this. This seems to actually affect Sonja, who starts to realize that maybe she has been behaving like a grabby twat.

    Ramona shrugs.

    She doesn’t give a shit.

    Bethenny announces that they will be drawing numbers for the rooms. The end. Democracy has arrived in Mexico.

    Tinsley gets first pick, but she doesn’t want the pressure of choosing first. She trades with Bethenny and takes third choice instead.

    Ramona, naturally, keeps bitching.

    She wants a room facing the water.

    Too bad.

    Bethenny finally tells her to get her life together, which is probably good advice for Ramona in general.

    Ramona gets in Sonja’s ear and tells her that Tinsley should have given Sonja her first choice because Tinsley has been staying with Sonja in the city.

    Oh, please.

    Ramona and Sonja are absolutely horrid together.

    They decide that the numbers they drew don’t really apply to them, so they leave their bags in the rooms they want and basically ignore the entire system Bethenny just created.

    Sonja then confronts Tinsley about it.

    Tinsley wants to be left alone.

    Tinsley really needs to stand up to Sonja. Sonja has been a beast to her all season long, and at this point, the whole dynamic is just icky.

    Meanwhile, it takes these women approximately seventeen years to choose their rooms.

    I would go crazy.

    Ramona is still yelling with her pizza-faced self, because apparently the chemical peel has done nothing to improve her personality. Now she wants Dorinda’s room.

    Dorinda tries to explain the concept of fairness to her.

    It is a lost cause with this one.

    Ramona goes in on Tinsley, and Dorinda finally tells Bethenny what the hell is going on.

    Bethenny wanted to lie down.

    Instead, she is needed to mediate a room dispute between grown-ass women.

    Again.

    Bethenny asks Ramona and Sonja if they would want their daughters acting like this. Ramona responds with a smug, punchable face and basically shrugs her off.

    She does not care.

    Dorinda, meanwhile, just wants Ramona out of her room.

    Ramona is sitting on the bed with her bare feet, and I hate her.

    Dorinda has had enough and threatens to throw Ramona’s bags in the pool.

    I wish she would.

    Ramona and Sonja are tacky with the staff.

    It is truly painful to watch.

    Ramona thinks she is making friends with the staff, but she is actually treating them like shit. There is something so bizarre about the way she behaves with people who are literally there to take care of her.

    This woman came from nothing. When did she learn this level of entitlement?

    I cannot stomach her.

    Meanwhile, Carole and Dorinda have brought props and games for the trip.

    They are being boring.

    Even Carole, the most boring Housewife ever, looks at the games and basically agrees that they look boring.

    Everyone eventually settles in and hits the fantastic pool, and finally, finally, the tequila starts flowing.

    And apparently, the tequila is exactly what this trip needed.

    By now, all of the women have had it with Sonja and Ramona.

    They get ready for dinner, although Dorinda would actually rather nap through the whole thing. Luann wants her to come to dinner, but Dorinda looks completely worn out from dealing with all of Ramonja’s nonsense.

    And naturally, Ramona and Sonja aren’t done.

    The two of them go off on their own to bitch about their perfectly gorgeous room.

    These bitches don’t quit.

    They have an enormous villa on the ocean, a gorgeous pool, beautiful rooms, staff waiting on them, and tequila flowing.

    And they’re still fucking complaining.

    It’s repulsive.

    Bethenny wants to talk to Sonja about how Ramona drags her down.

    Bethenny thinks Ramona brings out the absolute worst in Sonja, and honestly, she’s not wrong. Every time these two get together, they somehow become even more obnoxious than they are individually.

    Ramona then starts making sappy speeches to Sonja.

    It is very heartfelt.

    Until Sonja basically ruins the moment by saying she can’t focus on Ramona’s words because she’s staring at her pizza-pie face.

    I cannot.

    After all of that, they kiss.

    Of course they do.

    Welcome to the bipolar express.

    Bethenny arrives at dinner at 8:30.

    She is the first one there.

    Even though she is ninety minutes late.

    This would drive me bananas.

    Tinsley and Carole talk about Page Six. Apparently, there was a story about Tinsley being ungrateful to Sonja, and they suspect it has Ramona or Sonja’s dirty little fingerprints all over it.

    Bethenny doesn’t give a shit about the Page Six article. She has been sitting at the table alone for long enough and decides to go looking for the other women.

    She wants to eat.

    And she is pissed that everyone is late.

    Meanwhile, Ramona and Sonja spend the entire time getting ready for dinner badmouthing Tinsley.

    The dinner they are ninety minutes late for.

    Of course.

    Luann finally arrives at the table with, I kid you not, a kazoo.

    And the Countess is way buzzed.

    I mean, she looks disheveled. Like she took a bath in tequila.

    I want to hang out with this Luann so badly.

    She can steal my man all she wants. I just want to see drunk Luann in person.

    Ramona and Sonja are, naturally, the last two to arrive at dinner.

    As usual.

    Ramona is still busy making up her jacked-up face, and Bethenny thinks it is a complete waste of time.

    The woman has already been ninety minutes late. At this point, maybe just show up with the pizza face and call it a night.

    Carole fills Luann in on the Page Six story, and Luann agrees that Sonja probably leaked it.

    Tinsley shoots eye daggers at Sonja and Ramona when they finally arrive.

    You can practically see the lasers coming out of her eyes.

    Tipsy Luann, ever the Countess, decides to offer a toast thanking Bethenny for organizing the trip.

    Ramona immediately cuts her off.

    “It’s a group trip. Why are you thanking her?”

    What she means is: this is a cast trip, Bethenny isn’t paying for shit, so why are you kissing her ass?

    Bethenny looks at Ramona and asks her why she is an asshole.

    It is a question for the ages.

    Bethenny says Ramona could fuck up a wet dream, and I believe it.

    Tinsley jumps in and explains how pissed she is about the Page Six story. Sonja and Ramona immediately play dumb.

    A very slurry Luann points out that Sonja is always talking to the press.

    Ramona says she avoids the press like a “Lee?”

    What the hell does she even mean?

    English cannot be this woman’s first language.

    Carole chimes in to support Tinsley, who says she doesn’t need to be in the press.

    Sonja denies everything, naturally.

    Luann calls Sonja bitchy.

    And Luann is SO buzzed.

    I am loving it.

    She looks like a party and a half. Even Bethenny notices that Luann is visibly drunk, which is saying something because the lady is a drinker. She usually holds it together really well.

    Tonight?

    The tipsy is in full force.

    Tinsley is screaming and crying and eventually becomes completely unintelligible. Ramona continues playing dumb while looking like a smug twat waffle.

    Luann finally leaves the table to collect herself.

    Tinsley says Sonja is insensitive, and Bethenny once again points out that Ramona brings out the worst in Sonja. Their behavior over the rooms is a classic example.

    Sonja agrees.

    She knows Ramona is a bad look, and she admits she can’t take her everywhere.

    Honey, don’t take her anywhere.

    She is a nightmare.

    Meanwhile, Luann and Sonja are out on the patio bitching about the other women, and I am loving this drunk Luann.

    She is rocking a jumpsuit and slurring her way through complaints about the ladies.

    This is the Luann I want to hang out with.

    The Countess has left the building. Tequila Luann has arrived.

    Luann gets up to go to bed, gives a little booty shake, and then—

    CRASH!

    She falls off the patio and smacks right into the bushes.

    We get a shot of the laughing Countess lying among the branches, and is it weird to say she has never looked more beautiful?

    Ramona is dying laughing.

    So am I.

    I could watch this over and over.

    A man comes over to help a giggling Luann out of the bushes, but this is not the end of the Countess’s evening.

    Back at the table, the women are still bitching about Page Six, and Tinsley is still shrieking.

    Meanwhile, back outside, Luann takes a step…

    And completely face-plants off the patio AGAIN!

    Ramona says, “See, you should have gone this way.”

    I am fucking crying.

    If you haven’t seen this, you need to. This is iconic Housewives, and it is one of my favorite fossils ever.

    Back at dinner, Bethenny has officially had enough. She wants off the Sonja roller coaster, and eventually the women head off to bed.

    Tinsley is still pissed.

    This trip is off to a rip-roaring start.

    We get previews of what is coming next, and every single one of these women appears to be completely smashed.

    Stay tuned for Part 2 of this epic Housewives trip!
