All season long I was wondering when I was going to see the Aviva the stands up to Ramona in the season promos and I finally caught a glimpse of her when Carole and Sonja headed down to Miami to join Aviva and Ramona on their vacay and Ramona begins to seriously piss her off.

As soon as they got into town, they headed to Ranjana's breathtaking penthouse where Aviva and Ramona joined them. Sonja found out that LuAnne visited Ranjana's husband's show room and asked to borrow some of his dresses. Carole didn't appreciate this one bit, and unlike Ramona or Aviva or well any of the other housewives, she told LuAnne bothered her. Of course, LuAnne tried to play it off, saying that she was trying to help him out by wearing his garments, but the man designs dresses for Michelle Obama! Oh please.

Ramona made a huge deal about Aviva submerging her prosthetic leg in the pool, at one point actually ordering her to get out of the water! No one likes a Ms. Bossy pants, and who does she think she is, Aviva's mother? If I were Aviva I would have taken my prosthetic leg off and whacked her with it! Instead Aviva said that if she mentioned it again, she would have to tell her the truth about her bathing suit. Oh yea Aviva, hit her hard! lol Then at dinner, she tells Aviva not to talk about her ex-husband, and bosses the staff around telling them when to serve what course! This lady is off her rocker! I

Sonja met her betrothed, Aviva's crazy sex addict father, and despite the fact that she recognized that he looks "monied" she wasn't picking up what he was putting down. He chased her around the entire trip, and while it was entertaining to watch, Sonja was not amused. Darn, I thought he would be the answer to the money problems that she reveals later in the season.

I learned WAYY too much about Aviva's father, including that he cheated on his last girlfriend with a 22 year old girl, he likes lesbians, and his version of a handshake is grabbing someone's ass. I guess I can't fault the guy for living life, because live life he certainly does.

The moral of this episode is that if you want to go relax on vacation (or anywhere) don't invite Ramona, Ramona is the boss of everything, and Ramona likes when people compliment her butt. Oh yea and don't go into a dark alley with Aviva's father.
