Aviva may have the most connections with the ladies — her ex-husband hooked up with half the cast — but ‘The Nanny’s’ cousin seemed to be left friendless by the end of the first part of the reunion! Watch and tell us what YOU think.
On the Oct. 8 reunion special of The Real Housewives of New York City, the ladies appropriately meet up at The Museum of American Finance with none other than sexpot Andy Cohen. I hate to say it, but Andy was literally the most entertaining factor of the night.
Andy begins by digging into Carole Radziwill, questioning her ongoing frustrations with LuAnn de Lesseps — the “one upper.” After a package, showcasing prime examples, Carole and LuAnn spend 20 minutes — yes, 20 minutes — arguing over dresses and who borrows their clothes.
Here’s a lesson for Bravo. It may be a good idea not to pair RHONY with RHONJ next year. After last night’s explosive feud among Jersey’s finest, this was certainly a snoozefest.
Next, the topic changes to Aviva Drescher’s ex-husband, Harry Dubin, who also dated Sonja Morgan — and may or may not have slept with the Countess. Aviva admits that it hurts her to know that a number of the ladies have dated or slept with her ex. Sonja rips her a new one by accusing Aviva of talking poorly about Harry to the press, on her blog and via Twitter. In Sonja’s eyes, if Aviva is allowed to talk about him in that amount of excess, than the ladies should have free reign to speak about him as well. Aviva suggests they all keep talks of their ex-husbands and legal matters away from the cameras. (Isn’t that the point of this show? You signed up to reveal your lives to the world — not hide them. Duh!)
Andy, making sure not to remove the focus from Aviva, brings up her MANY phobias — with another snazzy little package! (That excitement was definitely sarcastic.) Of course, Aviva says that she’s perfectly normal for a 6-year-old who had their leg twisted around and around in a machine for three hours until it was completely gnawed off. As Aviva finishes her story, she’s brought to tears, but Ramona Singer couldn’t give a rats ass because she was busy rolling her eyes!
Ramona and Heather Thomson’s season-long squabble was brought to light towards the end of tonight’s reunion special. They both agreed that they didn’t like one another at the beginning of the season, but now have a good rapport with one another. Will they ever be best buddies? I doubt it.
Focus rounds back to Aviva and how she called Sonja and Ramona “white trash” in St. Barth’s. She attempts to, once again, apologize for her words, but at this point, no one’s buying it — not even the viewers. Surprisingly, Heather and Carole side with the other ladies and agree it was a very “dark” period for Aviva. Aviva’s apologies are always followed by more tongue lashing, so Sonja doesn’t trust a word that comes out of her mouth. Even her apologies were followed by sly smiles during her confessionals. This disagreement leads to an escalation of emotions and a perfect segway into next week!

I think Aviva’s anger at her arrival in St Barth’s was really at Carole, but she didn’t want to risk losing Carole’s friendship (too much cachet, money, and status) so she vented her dark side onto Sonja and Ramona. She thought (wrongly!) that they were expendable, and the fans would side with her. She expected that everyone would pause their plans and make her the centerpiece. Get a life Aviva! Heather was my fave this season. Smart, funny, successful, and always on the level with everyone. Hallah!

I hope that for next season, Aviva is removed from the show….Everyone has issues, and I do understand that hers are more severe than others; however, that gives her no right to treat people the way she has…She thinks of herself as “so educated”–Ha, not with that language she uses…I feel for her sake(and her family) she should seek intense therapy and work with her husband and children…I don’t want them to suffer due to her insecurities….

Aviva is either insane or just vile. She says she doesn’t have a monopoly on sorrow but acts like she does. She should simply look to her right to see someone who knows about sorrow.
She’s become this generation’s Omarosa — Villian with a capital V. Shame on her.

Aviva is a condescending biyotch. Sonja is one of the prettiest women I have seen in a long time and Ramona is crazy. Heather looks like a man in drag and Luann is afraid to get older. She will do anything to keep her younger boyfriend.

To: DMB…STFU already….Aviva is the only one I like on t his show, all the other skanks are fake azz hobag’s!
As for Aviva’s father…All of these beyotche’s are pushing 50 or 60 yrs old. These pigs should be proud anyone is paying attention to their old dried out azzes!…Sonja was married to an 80 yr old man, that’s just disgusting right there….as for Ramona, she is white trash and Sonja is just an azzhole white trash skank….Aviva was just telling it like it is!…..>Ramona is a two faced, lying alcoholic beyotche…..can’t stand the beyotche!…>Someone should have knocked her out a long time ago!

…they say that we are judged in society by our use of grammer, how we present ourselves and our speaking qualities ~ I think that you are in desperate need of a refresher course. You are crude, rude & have a rather vulgar flare – you and Aviva are a ‘perfect pair’ !!!

I do not know who PICKS these women, but must they always have a total mental case? Previously it was Kelly – they have now replaced her with Aviva. Alot of people go through various degrees of unfortunate losses or mishaps – that does not give them ‘carde blanche’ to be rude, ungrateful & as unbearable as Aviva is…..and her father has NO BUSINESS being on the show. She is a ‘chip off the OLD block’….I do not know if I will keep viewing the program; it’s on it’s way OUT!!!

Please @Go Away Already — If comments are misspelled or the wrong grammar is used, WHO CARES! I agree with the majority that Aviva should be let go. Although I respect Bethenny and her sharp tongue, she is the one, I believe, who suggested hiring Aviva to Andy Cohen. Good luck to Bethenny with her talk show!!
