I'll open Pandora's box for you. I'll bring the rock for you. We're going to own the night. How about we all go down swinging, feet to the ground singing. This beat makes me come alive because we're good as gold. Because we're good as gold. Because we're good as gold. Because we're good as gold.

I'll bring the rock for you. We're going to own the night. Now that we all go down swinging, free to the ground singing, this beat makes me come alive. Because we're good as gold.

So gentle. Tell me about your new boobs. What about the teeth?

0

07:38 - 07:40 Ronnie

You're like, well, I hadn't finished my sentence yet.

0

07:40 - 07:42 Jessel Taank

I know. I'm like, give me a breather. Hello.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

I know. So how have you been doing with all the trauma? Oh, my God. Your show is traumatic.

00:00 - 00:00 Jessel Taank

My therapist bill is like skyrocket high right now.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

Now, are your sessions extra long because Povit's been eating through them? No.

00:00 - 00:00 Jessel Taank

No, he's banned from therapy. I mean, he cannot join any of my sessions anymore.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

And Puppet is at home taking care of the kids tonight, right? He is.

Chapter 4: Who were the special guest stars and presenters?

10:13 - 10:24 Ronnie

Okay. Sorry. All right. So to the 2025 Crappies. And here's to a future where there is more Jessel in the center of the Real Housewives of New York.

Clink it. You got to clink it, babe. Thank you so much. Oh, I needed that.

00:00 - 00:00 Jessel Taank

Is that Prosecco?

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

I have no idea. You know what we have upstairs? Some mezcalume. We do. It was finally brought to America on the Mayflower.

00:00 - 00:00 Jessel Taank

Christopher Columbus, a.k.a. Aaron.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

Thank you. Jessel, thank you so much for coming here. We love you. Ladies and gentlemen, Jessel Tong.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

A lot of different people, a lot of different types of people bring their personalities to Bravo. Some are leads, some are villains, some are over-actors, some just cry all the time. You know, we love them all. But one of our favorite things from the past season was someone who went kind of under the radar for most of the year, and whose castmates give her a lot of shit for that.

Chapter 5: What awards were given at the 2025 Golden Crappies?

16:52 - 16:58 Ronnie

It's gorgeous. Rebecca, will you add that to your fall line, please?

0

16:58 - 17:01 Rebecca Minkoff

Can I just make it part of my bodily fluids that I collect? Oh, yes.

0

17:01 - 17:05 Ronnie

We'd love that. Thank you. Add it to your fluid collection, Rebecca.

17:06 - 17:12 Ronnie

00:00 - 00:00 Rebecca Minkoff

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

What an honor. Rebecca Minkoff, thank you for being here. Thank you, Rebecca.

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown Speaker

Love you.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

We forgot to ask Rebecca if she wanted to accept this award on Jennifer's behalf.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

Do you want it? Do you want me to save it for you? Get out here. Guys, it's your collection. Hell yes, girl. Hell yes.

Chapter 6: How did the hosts engage with the audience?

28:07 - 28:12 Ronnie

Best legal announcement, you subpoenaed the wrong bitch. Margaret Josephs.

0

28:14 - 28:30 Ronnie

And yes. And finally, the worst thing to discover on TV and the award for the worst thing to discover on TV is that Ariana's like totally gonna be on Dancing with the Stars and I didn't even know and she knows how much she wanted that.

0

28:56 - 29:01 Ronnie

The Real Housewives of Orange County

0

29:11 - 29:25 Dolores Catania

of the morning to you ladies. Welcome to London for my birthday trip. I'm so excited for us to let bygones be bygones and celebrate sisterhood.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

Shannon, you came to my room and showed me a picture of yourself with a bloody face after your accident and it made me feel used. Still talking.

00:00 - 00:00 Dolores Catania

My turn. Still talking. You know what, Shannon? You're just a dirty alcoholic bitch.

00:00 - 00:00 Shannon Bedore

How? How dare you? I am not an alcoholic.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

I am a woman who had a little bit too much to drink and I clipped a house because John Jansen was mean to me. Drunk driving. Why isn't the house in trouble for drunk sitting in the middle of the road?

00:00 - 00:00 Dolores Catania

You dirty drunk. You know what you should order for dinner? Chips. Because you need them, bitch.

Chapter 7: What were the highlights of the evening?

44:42 - 44:53 Ronnie

This is an award that means a lot to me. Outstanding achievement in food criticism. And it goes to Lisa Barlow for declaring that the food in Italy is too fresh.

0

44:58 - 45:06 Ronnie

And finally, the best da? Foo-da! Foo-da! Foo-da! Foo-da! Foo-da!

0

45:06 - 45:26 Ronnie

Congratulations to all the winners. Congratulations! Wow. Isn't this wild? I can... I'm sorry. I need, like... Okay. I just... I cannot believe that you guys all have come here to see us at Town Hall. Can you believe this, Ronnie?

0

45:27 - 45:28 Ronnie

No. I love it.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

Do you mind if I have a moment to reflect? For Christ's sake, can I pee? Yeah, you can go pee. I'm going to reflect. All right, you reflect. You know... I've just been thinking about how... Back in like 2007, 2008, before all this started, TV was so different, right? You had The Sopranos, you had Mad Men, you had Breaking Bad. It was all like peak TV, right?

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

And everything was like winning enemies. And like, don't get me wrong, I watched all of that. I loved it. I loved all of it. But then one day, one day I changed the channel. And I found myself driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in a rented Bentley through the sparkling gates of Cotto di Casa. It was actually the first time I had seen The Real Housewives of Orange County.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

And I will never forget how that moment made me feel. Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I want to see more TV starring people who have no shame. Too trashy to air on Disney. Too lowbrow for HBO. It's time to trust my instincts and surrender to Bravo. It's time to try defying good TV. I think I'll try defying good TV. And I'll start with SLC.

00:00 - 00:00 Ronnie

I'm through accepting prestige, cause someone tells me so. They say below deck's shitty, but till I watch, I'll never know. Too long I've been afraid of losing cred, I guess I've lost. Well, if that's cred, it comes at much too high a cost.

00:00 - 00:00 Danny

Binging housewives, defying good TV.
