Real Housewives of New York: Is this the most authentic group of women?

The Real Housewives of New York might be the craziest group of women, but they also seem to be the most real and most hilarious group, too.

The Real Housewives of New York City went through a major change this season without Bethenny Frankel dominating the cast anymore.  With this change seems to have come a new openness with the remaining ladies.  The storm has passed and these New York housewives are letting their freak flags fly…or swim.

Ramona, you’re being rude

While the ladies were getting ready to eat, Ramona Singer was instructing Leah McSweeney how to set the table properly.  Ramona told her she did it incorrectly and the other women let her know she was being rude. If this were another franchise, they would have politely said nothing and moved on.  Not the RHONY ladies, though!

Dorinda Medley even said, “Are we staying with Ramona or working for Ramona?”  Leah said she didn’t mind it because she respects her elders, and Ramona apologized.  Ramona never apologizes…

Married to the bank

Sonja Morgan stated in the most recent episode that she was married to the bank, alluding to her marriage to the grandson of J.P. Morgan.  Leah told her that she needs to move on with her life as the Morgan Yacht has sailed!

But the ladies insult each other and quickly move on, it doesn’t spiral into a dark crying-festival.  It turns into a naked, screaming, tiki-torch-throwing, pool party.  It’s like Bethenny was the dark cloud and the cloud has been lifted.  These women don’t even need to go on a real vacation out of state to provide an entire season of entertainment.

By the next morning, the house was destroyed.  The kitchen was covered in dirty dishes and unsavory toys in the chicken, a champagne bottle was floating in the pool, and public enemy #1, the tiki torches, had all been uprooted and strewn about.  Bethenny who?

On another note…

The least aware cast member is certain Luann de Lesseps as she helplessly hits on the tennis pro Ramona hired to give them lessons.  And the dog groomer.  And the dog masseur.  She even requested a massage when the dogs were done.  Though unaware of her shameless nature, Luann is still being her authentic and thirsty self.

The night concluded with Tinsley Mortimer going to sleep with a bowl of spaghetti.  The morning began with Dorinda and Sonja doing facemasks.  I mean, how is that not relatable?  What other franchise would do hungover facemasks in bed?  None of them, I tell you!

The Real Housewives of New York is on Thursdays at 9 PM ET!
