The Real Housewives of New York
Season 15, Episode 3: “Dramamine Drama”
Grade: D
Erin has several charcuterie boards in Sag Harbor, waiting for the ladies’ arrival. She still has PTSD from last year’s lack of food. Brynn, Jessel, and Rebecca are the first to arrive. Erin’s home renovation isn’t fully done, but she’s showing off her brand-new kitchen. A chyron helpfully lets us know the helicopter ride was 40 minutes from New York. Brynn is disappointed that Rebecca goes for a non-alcoholic beverage. Listen, I’m all for the sober life. But not on Real Housewives. And especially not on this franchise. I think we all remember season 13 (unfortunately!!). Sai and Ubah arrive. A chyron lets us know that it’s 3 hours from New York to Sag Harbor. Erin lets them know that Racquel is not feeling them. She drove up by herself because allegedly, they wouldn’t let her ride up front despite her car sickness. Sai pulls out the texts and it seems it was just a misunderstanding, but we’ll see what the story is when Racquel arrives.
When she does arrive, it turns out Racquel texted Sai she gets crazy car sick and Sai made a joke about her taking Dramamine. Racquel offered to drive, I guess? But she was offering to drive Sai’s car? I don’t know, this is stupid. We’ve already moved on from this boring interaction to have… another boring interaction between Sai and Brynn. They finally have their sit-down. Sai is back on the “you told Jenna I hate her” shit. Baby, all of New York told Jenna you hate her!!! Have we not addressed this?? Does Jenna have to organize a conference call at this point? Sai is insistent that one of those people was Brynn. The real B-A-N-A-N-A-S thing here seems to be that Sai was talking shit about Jenna and she didn’t think that she would hear it! She’s so worried about the fact that Brynn spilled to Jenna and not all concerned that she was shit-talking Jenna all over New York. I’m finally on Brynn’s side for once! Brynn insists she didn’t say anything to Jenna. Sai insists that Brynn did and that she’s being toxic. Wouldn’t the toxic one be the person talking shit about their alleged friend and trying to sweep it under the rug?
I think the real issue here is:
