Election Dysfunction
This was one of those filler episodes where a speedy fast-forward would have sufficed. In fact, I actually wish I had, because knowing ahead of time that it was going to be about the (stolen) election, I could have saved myself the aggravation.
The episode continues where it left off; with Leah screaming about Heather after throwing a bouquet of flowers at her and storming out of the limo … for no particular reason mind you. Yes, Leah is allegedly upset that that her grandmother is dying, but that doesn’t give her the right to go on a rampage and show such disrespect to a former longtime cast member. I think what annoys me most about Leah (and Eboni) is that neither of them have a shred of respect for the chain of (housewife) hierarchy. However, I’m just as annoyed with the longtime cast members who take their crap. Ramona, Lu, and Sonja could have easily banded together and simply refused to do another season with Leah.
The group’s party van arrives at its destination where Ramona has planned a 1970’s themed Beauty Pageant. The venue looks like a Hamptons Retirement Home, and the entire party is literally just the five women in the cast, Lu’s daughter and niece, a few camera men, and Hank the flamboyant master of ceremonies along with two twinks he lured from some Sag Harbor gay bar.
For the talent part of the pageant, Luann twirls a baton, Leah twirls hula hoops on each arm, Ramona does push-ups, Sonja does a confuses miming with “charades”, and Eboni takes the opportunity (again) to school us on black woman suppression by performing a “spoken word”. Leah is pronounced the winner and I’m hoping that a bucket of pig’s blood falls from the rafters.
The next morning Leah is gone and we find out that she didn’t make it back to see her grandmother before she died (filming was apparently more important). At breakfast, Heather apologizes to Eboni for calling her “articulate” and Eboni forgives her, but goes on a diatribe of WHY it annoyed her; some bullshit about black women can’t speak the Queen’s English. Luann immediately chimes in and says “Kind of like Ramona”, obviously implying that she is racist, as the other women just nod their heads in agreement. Never mind the fact that they would all be voting for an old racist who put “articulate” on the map by calling their one time Messiah (Obama) “articulate “ (and clean).
Ramona meets with a recruiter from Douglas Elliman who looks very familiar to me. It turns out that he is former Million Dollar Listing: New York cast member and one-season-wonder Michael Lorber. Ramona is getting her real estate license and Michael is mentoring her. Like any true liberal NY Jewish Realtor worth his salt, he schools Ramona on “the changing world”, explaining that “we” are no longer allowed to used the term “Master” bedroom; it’s now “main sleeping quarters” or some such nonsense. We also can’t use “his and/or hers” pronouns when describing bathrooms or closets, and by no means never describe a park, restaurant, or store as being “nearby”, because that is insensitive to the handicapped, oops I mean “physically challenged”. As a licensed R/A myself, I will have to run these new rules past my broker, as we do always enjoy a good laugh.
Leah, Eboni, and Sonja are meeting up with the weird boxing trainer/life coach Martin. Leah and Eboni want Sonja to stand up for herself (against Ramona and Luann) and so for her own good, Martin taunts her until she begins really walloping him.
Eboni is hosting an election results watch “party” at her home rented hotel suite, and by “party” I mean she, a hapless (black of course) assistant posing as her friend, and just the four other ladies (Ramona wisely took a pass). Leah brought along her sister, who looked like she just finished working a few NYC street corners. The conversation turns to Ramona who has apparently been posting pictures of herself and a phony array of black women on her SM, and all I’m thinking about is RHOBH’s Crystal Kung Foo accusing Sutton of being “that girl”. Sonja is particularly upset over this and begins slurring and rambling incoherently. Apparently she’s back on those water pills again.
