The Real Housewives of New York City Season 4

 

by Mike Bandy

 

Are you ready for the trip that will change EVERYTHING?!?! Well, don't get your hopes up, because last night's episode was more like a bus to Dullsville rather than a jaunt to Morocco.

 

The brunettes (and redhead), Cindy, Luann, Kelly, and Jill, were on the plane, and Luann was teaching everyone Arabic words and talking about how happy she was to host the girls in Morocco. They landed, and we got to see Morocco's beautiful deserts, the gorgeous city of Marrakech, and the Riyadh, which is where the women would be staying during their trip.

 

The Riyadh was a gorgeous, open floor plan hotel with beautifully decorated rooms, sophisticated colors, and lots of light. It truly was opulence at its finest.


Meanwhile, the blondes, Ramona, Sonja, and Alex, came together on a plane the next day, because apparently these women only travel by hair color and nothing else. Ramona was on the plane complaining about having no pinot grigio, which immediately made me think of two things: 1.) Ugh, this trip is gonna seem like 3 months if she keeps complaining, and 2.) Ramona may have a drinking problem, or at least that's what Bravo wants us to believe.

 

They landed, and took the ride out to the Riyadh, through a neighborhood Ramona and Sonja described as "ookie". Ramona complained because she could see "poverty out the window" (yes, that's a direct quote), and Alex was mortified that they could be so offensive.

 

Once they arrived at the Riyadh, Luann, dressed to, apparently, look like Mrs. Roper, greeted them and invited them in for a drink. Ramona wanted someone on the staff to unpack her bags for her, because she'd brought enough clothes for seven women. Ugh...she's really starting to grate on my nerves. Sonja was more concerned about something from her luggage being stolen, and hung out by the car to make sure that didn't happen, while talking to the driver of the van to ensure he wouldn't steal anything. Classy.

 

While Ramona and that poor woman on the hotel staff were unpacking her things, Sonja came in to remark how sexy Ramona's clothes were, and Ramona was parading around with them, saying that these clothes were definitely not for the staff...RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE WOMAN. She looked absolutely miserable; Morocco is a very conservative country, after all.

 

While all this was going on, the brunettes (and redhead), were all having lunch outside, and Cindy left the table to get something from her room, thus sparking the DUMBEST fight ever fought in Housewives history, from any franchise, guaranteed. It started because Cindy accused Ramona of stealing hangers from her room. Then Sonja said she didn't take any hangers, Cindy complained about not having hangers, and the word "hangers" was said about 9,000 times. Cindy came back out to the table to tell the other women what had happened, and Luann decided to straighten everything out by getting more hangers (not to mention the story about how dumb Cindy was for accusing Ramona). This was really riveting television.

 

The best part, in my opinion, was Ramona's confessional, where she said that Cindy needs a hanger up her butt. Again, classy.

 

The rest of this episode was pretty mundane. The ladies went shopping and ran into a friend of Jill's who was having a party that night to celebrate his birthday, and all the women were invited. Luann was mortified by Sonja's and Ramona's behavior, and was embarrassed by them. The women agreed to go to the party, and went back home, where Luann brought in a designer to make traditional kaftans for the women as a gift. Of course, Ramona had to ruin it by being demanding and awful to this man the entire time. Typical. And again, classy.

 

The women went to the party, and the most exciting thing that happened there was the snake charmer, which freaked most of the women out. All except Jill, who had a snake on her head. Then, Jill's friend had a fortune teller to tell all the women their fortunes. She spoke French, so Luann and Kelly had to translate for everyone.

 

The fortunes were pretty typical stuff. Jill talks too much. Sonja only cares about money. Kelly wants to have another kid. Then it was Ramona's turn...and the fortune teller told her that there was another woman in her husband's life. To be continued...

 

It's looking like the drama really kicks in next week, and I'm really excited, because if I had to endure another episode like this one, I may not last the season. And that would NOT be classy!
