If you can believe it, The Real Housewives of New York City has made it to season ten. Yes, you read that correctly—season ten of the Bravo series and there is no shortage of excitement, drama, or catfights this year, which is much appreciated. So where are the ladies at after the first handful of episodes, just in case you missed a moment?
We’ve got you covered with a quick wrap-up of all the delicious drama, better than cake minus the calories.
Luann de Lesseps
Of course, “Countess” Luann de Lesseps waited until season nine ended and the reunion had been filmed in order to file for divorce from her toxic husband of seven months, Tom D’Agostino. We wanted all the gossip: How was she? Why did they divorce? Would she actually reveal that he was a cheater and that all her friends who expressed concerns were actually right all along? Plus, how long would we have to wait to see Luann spiral and end up in prison then rehab? It turns out Luann was quite honest with some of the cast about how she had blinders on and she really had no reason to get married. It was a never-ending downward spiral with Tom and she did tell some of the ladies they were right to be suspicious of him after he cheated on her one week after he proposed. Aside from some bad hair choices, a politically incorrect Halloween costume (she went as Diana Ross with he semi-blackface), and a poor effort to resolve issues with Carole, Luann has been pretty low-key. But, we still have jail and rehab to look forward to.
Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Frankel reminds us that the B is back but her whole deal is about real estate and charity work in Puerto Rico. She is the best entrepreneur, even launching Skinnygirl jeans this year and buying those amazing flip homes. So what about her relationships with the women? She and Carole are not that close anymore; she is fighting with Ramona over real estate choices; and she has finally introduced the ladies to her longtime boyfriend, Dennis.
Carole Radziwill
Carole Radziwill is now friends with benefits with former boyfriend Adam Kenworthy, and they even ran the New York City marathon together. This was a huge feat for Carole, someone who never worked out a day in her life and ended up running twenty-six miles. Sadly, the only cast member to show up and show any support was newcomer Tinsley, despite the fact that twenty tickets had been purchased for the other ladies. I was actually surprised the other women were not in attendance because they said they’d be there during the season nine reunion. She’s extremely close to Tinsley and Dorinda, even Ramona, who threw her a post-marathon party, but we see a dissolution of her friendship with Bethenny. I think it is just easier to be fun and playful with Tinsley than it is with Bethenny, who is always running a mile a minute.
Tinsley Mortimer
Speaking of Tinsley Mortimer, the heiress contributed $10,000 to Bethenny’s Puerto Rico relief efforts but it was Sonja who has spent several episodes questioning where Tinsley was getting her money. She accused her longtime friend and once roomie of being taken care of by boyfriend Scott, but we soon learn the couple has broken up due to distance. He lives in Chicago and she is in New York, so it is just way too hard at the moment. She butts heads with Sonja, who is consistently gossiping about her, and it does get quite annoying, but at least she doesn’t have to live under her wing anymore. Tinsley is living in a hotel with a puppy and room service so she is happy as a clam. Plus, Scott came to town to surprise her and as of late, they are back together.
Sonja Morgan
Sonja Morgan is off the rails. She is gossiping and doesn’t understand why everyone is tired of the things she says, but that’s because she is always inappropriate. She is no longer with her young lover from last season, Frenchie, but rather with Rocco, the older man who she said was just going to be friendship material. She went away for the summer to take some antidepressants but it appears as though she can’t seem to make amends with her past or her present, causing a severe strain on her relationships. Can she recover? We’ll find out.
Dorinda Medley
Dorinda Medley threw an epic Halloween party to kick off the beginning of the season and was dressed as Lady Gaga. She never fails to entertain, especially after one too many cocktails, but she is tired of Sonja living in the past and throwing it in everyone’s face. She admits she is back stirring the pot of drama again so this might not bode well for the rest of the ladies when they see the playbacks. But she’s still the life of the party and I’d be friends with her. And yes, she is still dating John, whom everyone is accepting of, so that is a plus after six years.
Ramona Singer
Ramona Singer is all about renovations, but sadly, she and Sonja are not partners in crime anymore. Sonja actually called Ramona some very harsh words, which has solidified an end to their sisterhood, but Ramona gets what she gives because she can be quite unfiltered as well. Dressed as an “Oops . . . I Did it Again” Britney Spears for Dorinda’s Halloween Party, she went on to criticize Bethenny’s home-buying choices. There was also talk that her party for Carole was actually just an excuse for her to throw a party.
And there you have it, a quick wrap-up of season ten of RHONY thus far. Are you loving it or leaving it? Let us know!
