The Real Housewives of New York City Recap: RIP #BookGate?

The Real Housewives of New York City, Episode 7: "Fireworks"

Ramona Singer has done some weird shit since this show started, but creating a calendar featuring her and her dog for her college bound daughter is maybe some of the weirdest.  Is Ramona that out of it? Is she so self-involved that she really thinks that this is something that Avery wants?  Has Ramona ever met her own daughter?  Let's put aside the fact that Avery is Satan for a moment.  No normal, functioning new adult would want this.  How do you make friends at college?  You definitely show them the mother/doggy calendar your unhinged mother made for you because she can't let go.  That'll get you courted by all the best sororities and clubs.  Jesus.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Thanksgiving For My Real Friends, Fakes-giving For My Fake Friends

The Real Housewives of Orange County, Episode 3: "Fakes-giving, Fake Friends"

Well if we learned one thing this episode, it is that you never leave Vicki alone with a baby ever.  I'm not saying that Vicki is a bad grandma, but she is definitely a bad babysitter.  Baby Troy was basically left to his own devices while grandma got ready for "Fakes-giving."  What's Troy doing?  Oh he's just playing with cleaning supplies.  What's he up to now?  I think he went outside.  I mean, that's fine.  How about now?  Oh he's just dumping out everything in the pantry.  The little scamp!  Brianna can't get to Oklahoma soon enough.

RuPaul's Drag Race Recap: Here Comes the Bride?

RuPaul's Drag Race, Episode 10: "Drag My Wedding"

These episodes are some of my favorites.  When the queens put men in drag.  They aren't your typical drag queens.  They are normally big, burly, hairy men, sometimes straight, and it is great to watch the queens interact with and a lot of the times become friends.  It's interesting.  They only spend a couple of days together, but the connections is normally really genuine and it's awesome.  This seasons was no different.  The queens initally think that they are going to be making over brides for their wedding, but surprise, they are turning the grooms into blushing brides and then RuPaul is going to marry them on the main stage.  Let's look at each queen and the transformation from best to worst.

The Real Housewives of New York City Recap: Housewives From Another City

The Real Housewives of New York City, Episode 6: "Unhappy Anniversary"

Ramona Singer is an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in another enigma.  She's back from Africa and refreshed, filled with peace.  She hears about the drama between Heather and Aviva and has decided to take on a role unknown to her up to this point: the peacemaker.  Can Ramona bring these ladies together?  Can she mend this fractured group?  Should we start calling her Ramona Gandhi?  Not so fast.

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Saved a Nation in a Past Life

The Real Housewives of Orange County, Episode 2: "Meet and Potatoes"

Vicki's son is awful.  Sometimes you forget that he is a giant douchebag.  Seriously.  I am not the biggest fan of the OC OG, but you can't deny that she has given her children everything and there is no reason for her son to be such a giant douchebag.  It reminded me of that episode early in the shows run when Vicki surprised him at college and he just was awful.  The kid is the devil.  It's amazing how Vicki can raise two such different children.  Briana is lovely and loves and cares about her mother, but can still call her on her shit.  Michael just puts her down and completely ignores the fact that everything he has is because of Vick.  His job.  The fact that he has never wanted for anything.  Ugh.  Someone just needs to punch that kid in the nuts.  

RuPaul's Drag Race Recap: Talk That Talk

RuPaul's Drag Race, Episode 9: "Drag Queens of Talk"

Gays love Cher.  I know that is a stereotype.  I'm not a big fan of stereotypes, but some are true.  I love Cher.  I'm not even sure how it happened.  It's no surprise that on this episode, where the queens got the chance to interview Cher's mom, Georgia Holt, and her son, Chaz Bono, they freaked out a little bit.  Courtney declared that she was one degree of separation away from Cher!  It didn't work out so well for everyone.  There was name forgetting and abortion talk, which didn't go over the best with Cher's fam. 

The Real Housewives of New York City Recap: Verbal Rape Whistle

The Real Housewives of New York City, Episode 5: "Everybody Thinks We're Drag Queens"

This episode we got more information about what happened when Aviva lost her leg.  This may sound callous, but I'm kind of over it.  Yes, it's terrible and yes, it's great that she does things for other amputees, but I always get the feeling that her motives are not altogether altruistic.  It seems like she's not doing it for others, she's doing it to make herself look good.  In fact, after the whole BookGate thing, this episode really seemed geared towards viewers having more goodwill towards Aviva.  Well, it didn't really work for this viewer.
