I think LuAnn looked great. Dorinda would too if she'd do something about her hair color.

Watching Ramona and the contractor Mario made my skin crawl. She's so thirsty!

1) Sonja

6) Bethenny (used to love her, before fame made her a monster)

Interesting to see how this ranking changes over the season!

I'd probably flip flop LuAnn and Dorinda and Carole and Bethenny so:

1) Sonja
2) Dorinda
3) LuAnn
4) Ramona
5) Bethenny
6) Carole

Agree with the PP that if I were a man, I'd be attracted to Sonja!

Likeability: Best to worst

1. Dorinda
2. Sonja
3. Bethenny
4. Ramona
5. Carole
6. LuAnn

LuAnn at #2!!!!! Fascinating. I find her insufferable.

My rankings:

1) Dorinda/Sonja (sad to see they're going to be enemies this season)
2) Bethenny
3) Ramona
4) Carole
5) LuAnn

We are one episode in and I am already over hearing Carole talk about the election.

LuAnn and Sonja look great. They have a little meat on their bones, enough to keep their faces from looking haggard. They also have only had minimal work done, so they don't look scary.

Bethenny and Carole are the Skeletor Twins. Ramona overdid the work on her face, though I must say her body has always looked good for her age. From what I saw in the preview and from online here and there, Jill also has been overdone, but at least doesn't look haggard.

Anyway, should be an interesting season! I'm ready for NY.

Bethany and Carole and Ramona have all had some work done during their off time. Ramona looks good because she's older and can somehow pull it off. The other two look freaky. Carole had horse mouth to begin with but something has changed with her cheeks and mouth. Bethany needs to gain 15 lbs and grow her hair back out.
On the other hand - Luanne looks great. She's a natural beauty, in spite of her obnoxious personality. She has aged well and if she's doing any thing it's not obvious.
Dorinda as well looks natural, and healthy. I like her style.
And I think Sonya looks the best. She's probably had stuff done too but looks healthy!
If I were a man I'd be attracted to Sonya. Even though she's crazy. She seems comfortable in her own skin.

They had a falling out two seasons ago when Carole started dating that chef. He was working for LuAnn and had previously been in a long term relationship with LuAnn's niece. LuAnn made a bunch of jabs at the relationship and overtime Carole was like F off. I thought they had started to move past it last year because LuAnn said that Carole was the only person who seemed geniuinely happy LuAnn got engaged.

What happened between LuAnn and Carole? I can't remember. Carole said LuAnn tells lies. ?

Clearly Ramona had work done but my guess is she will attribute it to her Rodan & Fields regiment

She's a perfect example of how you can be that thin at 41 and get away with it but try it at 51 and you look terrible. I actually think Dorina is a good size. Not too thin, not too big. In your 50s you gotta give up the ultra thin frame.

Agree. Dorinda looks healthy.

Yes, frail is a good word. She's always been thin but her face and body look 10+ years older than she really is. Her hands were so bony last night.

Did Ramona have some (more) work done on her face? Her eyes looked different to me; it seemed like her eyebrows were higher and more arched. Yes, Bethenny is thin. Thought Sonya looked good, OTOH.
