4/5
All things considered, this was one of the best premieres in years. We got arguments, genuine progression for some of the women, and a wonderful new cast member. Go to Full Review

08/28/2020 Despite one star - still a fan.....interesting that over the years that BRAVO has broadcast this show, the women have gone from vying for a mention on the NY Times society page to seeing who has the most rants, raves, and mentions on Page Six of the NY Post. Bunch of drunk old broads who have no idea as to how lucky they are to have been chosen to make idiots of themselves on TV for big bux. Talk about first world problems....and boy do they ever complain forever about the smallest things....they are loud mouthed drunks with no real purpose but to make us groan at their drunken antics and fights with each other. They can go to the finest resorts and find numerous problems with their magnificent rooms etc...here is a concept the franchise should try....have them try to ride a subway or stand in line somewhere like normal people.....it would be a whole different experience for them. Anyway, always good for laughs....they are like the three stooges times two. I record it so I don't have to watch the commercials.....even for me, its not worth sitting thru commercials to see this. Kudos to Bethenny Frankel for her humanitarian work....(although it was off putting to hear her remark to her driver that she felt homeless (all because she was shuffling between her huge suite in a NYC hotel, to her home in the Hamptons, and to the huge loft she was renovating in SoHo) and then asked him "driver, why are we stopped?" "It's a red light ma'am"...yes, even for you ! See more 08/07/2020 No fashion, no class, no glamour. Washed up beatdowns beat each other down. Drunken sloth, boarder line females rip each other apart for fame and pennies... Lost is that New York edge.. There used to alway be literate, snarky, and witty capped by good fashion... in at least a few of the cast members, Aviva comes to mind, Bethany, Carole.. even past Sonja.. This year the cast dropped by JCPenny and Forever 21 then swung by the cheapest Dancer's Den for a bottle of rot gut and a dance by a toothless stripper to gain inspiration for the 12th season of "RHONY"; Or the beatdowns on NY.. "Make it nice" fire them all and regroup See more 04/18/2020 I have watched this show since the start; this season - I struggle to finish an episode. Bleh. If I have to watch Ramona fake cry one. more. time. I can't! I'll watch when I've gotten through all my other shows. **sigh** I was so looking forward to the distraction during quarantine.
