The Real Housewives of New York

I was having Sunday scaries and my birthday is close enough so I watched the birthday episode of Bethenny Ever After and in the scenes where she gets invited to do Skating with the Stars, Jason asked "what about doing Dancing with the Stars?" and Bethenny said something like "That's on it's twelfth season. I don't want to do the twelfth of anything". What season did Bethenny leave at?

I liked her friends at the beginning of the episode. I wonder if she still talks to any of them.
 
Your Svetlana avatar has me gagged @AshleyKerwin. The fact that she never came back after The Duel (the best RW/RR Challenge to date) pains me.
Thank you! She was so close to making it on All Stars 2 back in the summer of 2021! I remember I was refreshing the cast leak thread and Vevmo post for it every 5 minutes all week until she wasn't on that departure Friday. I mean it would probably be harsh for her but still. I haven't finished All Stars 3 yet because I didn't renew Paramount Plus and then I didn't finish the season before my trial ended (lol) and now I'm behind on the documentary and the new season. I feel like there's so much fandom gossip and tea where it would barely make sense without reading the Instagram live recaps and podcasts and everything. Like if I had to put together all of the summer 2020 Total Madness stuff on my own I would look like the Charlie from It's Always Sunny conspiracy meme.
 
Ok gorls. I've just started S5 and it almost feels like a reboot because only Sonja, Ramona and Lu are back. Are Heather, Carole or Aviva flops or do they stick around? Unlike legends like Lu, Ramona, Bethenny, Dorinda..etc I've never heard of these ladies before starting this journey...

Carole stays for the longest but 100% non of them are flops. Yes they don’t reach the heights of those legends but they all add something.

Now Kristen, Jules and Barbara meh.
 
Aviva’s reign of terror from the second half of Season 5 through Season 6 is one of the greatest reality TV runs of all time.
Her performance in season 5 should be studied. I don’t think a housewife has ever surprised me so much. I went into the season thinking Ramona and Sonja were being assholes as usual and when I watched and saw how sweet Aviva was, I was convinced I was right. Watching her shift in real time was epic tv. And that reunion performance?! Whew!

They need to get Aviva on a Girls Trip!
 
Aviva honestly did the damn thing. Especially in season 5. The way she came across as a sweet lady at start and slowly began to unravel into a catastrophe should be taught in schools. Every storyline she gave was honestly top tier?

-Her being buddy buddy with Ramonja but then grilling them about not showing up to her aerobic class (IT WAS ABOUT CHILDREN WHO ARE MISSING LEGS!!??!) to going berserk on them during the whole trip and that sitdown with Ramona.

-Her starting as a fan of Carole only to end up with her claiming she used a ghost writer for her best seller book dd (WHAT ARE YOU, STEPHEN KING??)

-Her whole feud with Heather and that iconic Anna Nicole Smith dinner. (Heather was also great in this)

-Her throwing her inhalers at Kristen

-And finally, that leg scene but the way she threw her xrays and doctor's card onto women, mocking them with how her doctors lied to her about her asthyma and her throwing her leg at Heather the second time somehow impress me a lot more than the actual leg throw xx.

Ah that is history luvs.

ok, between y'all hyping Aviva and the "this season on rhony" after ep1 teasing her fighting with seemingly everyone this season, I'm ready to stan. I should have known because a few mins into ep1 her "specific instructions"/haggling the nail tech over her prosthetic toe nails had me howling.
