Mix 3-parts Reunion with 3-parts Looney Bitches, add a dash of More-Confused-Than-Ever Host, serve on the rocks, shaken, stirred and batshit crazy. You got yourself a Real Housewives of New York City Straightjacket Martini.
I’m going to try and sum up all 3 parts of this parade of ridiculousness, from my own humble POV, one housewife at a time…in no particular order. Yea right- let’s go from “must be slightly off to participate in this” to “holy shitballs, the sanity has left the building!”. Oh boy- here goes!

Sonja:
Andy questioned her like he was the school principal and she was the upstanding kid who witnessed a fight in the locker room. “So…what reeeally happened, Sonja?”. Amid typical questions about her lineage (?) from Andy and peculiarly chosen viewer questions about her free-spirited style of dating, she basically served as the hall monitor for Saturday school and the Bitchfest Club. I appreciated her pointing out to Kelly that she never had any conflict with her on Scary Island and tried to be a “friend” (translation: keep a watchful eye while gathering valuable information to be reserved and used at a later date).
She made Kelly admit that this whole “Systematic Bullying” campaign (more on that bullshit later…ugh) and “4 against 1” madness was not only a blatant lie, but a slap in the face. Kelly did not actually admit anything (God forbid!), but she said something like, “OK well not you Sonja…” You’re making homemade PSA’s about bullying and Sonja had your should-be-against-a-padded-cell back the entire time and that’s all she gets? She even made sure to flat out state that Kelly was not behaving normally and that it was cause for concern. Followed by a resounding, “Kelly was not bullied…no she was not.” To which Kelly of course replied, right after pseudo-apologizing to Sonja for 3 whole seconds, that now all of a sudden she couldn’t have known what was going on with the bullying against poor Kelly because Sonja was positively shit-faced the entire time. W-O-W. Sonja’s comeback? Kelly served as the official fun-ruiner of the vacation! LMFAO! Next up? Sonja nailed Jill also by letting her know that swooping in on the revamp of Scary Island after Kelly left was not only inappropriate (“This isn’t a 6-year old’s birthday party!”) but did indeed seem insincere. Overall, Sonja came off as someone who is able to take the hard questions, laugh at herself, admit wrongdoing (which is like Kryptonite for most of these bitches) and see the show for what it is. She made it clear why her child did not appear (yet) and gave props to the ladies for being the pioneers and making a way for her to do….something. I guess we will have to wait and see what that is, should she return in future seasons (which I hope she does).
