Iguana
Like beautiful robots dancing alone
She is very UPTIGHT at first but then she realises her own CAMP VALUE.
OK so I can absolutely say that my opinions during season 1 were VERY close to yours indeed.I just finished Season One and knowing roughly where Luann's life goes, it is weird that aside from her constantly mentioning that she's a COUNTESS, she's a pretty inoffensive mediator so far. Shades of Adrienne in Season One of Beverley Hills, only with less hideous fashion taste and not as visibly mega-rich.
Even her scene 'counselling' a recovering drug addict was only about a third as cringey as I was braced for. Aside from the moment where she complimented the woman's 'pigtails', she actually gave fairly good advice! What might have been had the TV cameras never found her...
Anyway I'm aware season one is very much a preview but it is remarkable how generally uneventful it is. There was some drama with Ramona taking umbrage at Alex McCord bringing her husband to a girls night which felt like it might build to something, but then... oh, end of season! Quite surprised it actually got renewed TBH! Certainly not a patch on all the shit that had gone down by the end of Beverley Hills Season One, but I guess this was a SIMPLER TIME.
Initial ranking:
Alex - An instant comedy creation. What a bizarre woman. Another sign of the times I noticed is just how exposed her POOR children are in this season. I'm sure in a more media savvy age she'd have kept them a lot more off-camera. But then she also seems like she'd sell them both to Jeffrey Epstein for a photo in the society pages, so perhaps not?
LuAnn - The countess stuff *is* hilarious, but as mentioned she's off to a low key start.
Ramona - Created literally the only genuine drama this season, and the whole pushy stage mum thing was mildly amusing.
Jill - Seems... nice? I do like her dynamic with Bethenny but I can already see how it's going to sour quickly.
Bethenny - Funny and articulate but already kind of exhausting. It's giving that high-maintenance female friend every gay man had at University who was always a nightmare at social events.
Bethenny kinda gives me Kyle energy to an extent too but I can’t really put my finger on why
But then she also seems like she'd sell them both to Jeffrey Epstein for a photo in the society pages, so perhaps not?
Ramona having some kind of COCAINE FIT
Cool, but who are they in the picture please?
I LOVE Carole, it’ s going to keep on getting better for a while nowI'm on season 6 now and I'm COMPLETELY obsessed. Sonja is absolute top tier entertainment.
Soft spot for Carole too!
Wow I'm really really hating Bethenny this time around. Talk about hero to zero! She's just SO rude, abrupt and horrid!
