Bravo & The Brits

Well guys, it's come to this. Who would have thought Dorinda would go out on this note? Just as we were being lulled into a false sense of security with a relatively anti-climactic finale too. Key takeaways: Lou comes to terms with her kitten-related heartache, Luann is Living on a Vida La Viva Diva Loca Prayer and Leah channels Romy & Michelle with excellent Y2K babe results.

Two birthdays for the price of one: Married To The Medley! Key takeaways: We're taking our petition to get Elyse cast as the new fulltime cast member to the parliament, the RHONY women get up close and personal with the Hypebeast crowd and Luann goes heavy on the radish vodka with disastrous and drawn-out vocal consequences.

This episode feels like a prime cut of RHONY - just the right amount of drunken bitchiness and ridiculousness (and cheap costumes - one of RHONY's staple motifs). Key takeaways: wearing a butterfly necklace past the age of 14 should be outlawed and you should always initiate an apology in-line at the omelette station.

The Potomac equivalent of the Capulets and the Montagues rewrite golfing history in their own image this week. Key takeaways: if you don't have at least one woman named Donzella in your friendship group, you're not hustling hard enough - oh, and if you're going to host a gala in your living room you should at least not name it after an orgasm shot.

We've seen a glimpse of hell and it's Ramona glad in grey marl and kitten heels. Key takeaways: Luann accidentally sets herself up as the host of a far more enjoyable-to-watch makeover show, Leah reaches the end of her tether with The Singer, and Sonja goes from Century 21 to Messy Ceviche Hun faster than you can say 'New York Ranger.'

The sister circle continues and it's good vibes all around until M-Darb crashes the gay bar (or was he hanging around there all along?). Key takeaways: Karen's trucker cap vibe? Caburlesque incarnate... Faith & Lou contemplate the abject horror of improv comedy and Katie shuts Giselle down with unprecedented efficiency.

Ramona's "coming out" party has a sprinkle of personality/joy injected into it and she implodes as a result. Key takeaways: Faith deals with some charred remains, Lou contemplates a weirdly specific dating segment and we decide that for Leah's own wellbeing, she needs to lockdown a dodgy Russian businessman as her new partner.

Faith and Lou talk baristas over barristers, Lou has a brush with TikTok virality and we gear up for round 2 of the beserkshires. Key takeaways: we bear witness the only remaining soul who is still invested in the Livestrong brand, does everyone have an alter-ego called Erika nowadays and never trust a set menu that doesn't begin with chicory being ritually deflowered.

The Berkshires descend into the screaming match we were all waiting for - fragmented into proxy wars (don't encourage into a cold war metphor on this one). Key takeaways: Upgrade your wineware with rainbow fish to achieve Nirvana, finally our love of Elyse seems to be echoed by the Public At Large and Sonja - and her place in the blue book - must be protected at all costs.
