Kristen: Ramona Is the Root of Most of the Problems

Kristen explains why this trip left her beyond annoyed with Ramona and why she stayed away from the Sonja drama.

By Kristen Taekman

This week, I have to say that I am at a bit of a loss for words. What I really want to tell you is how happy and excited I was to have a few days away with the girls. The house was just perfect. The view was absolutely jaw-dropping, the water was crystal clear, and the sky was gorgeous, sunrise to sunset. The chef was the sweet guy that had a newborn baby. We spoke a lot about his first child and how wonderful the experience had been for him. He taught me some tricks in the kitchen like how to poach an egg. We talked about how he got into cooking, as well as life on the island of Turks and Caicos.

How to Watch

If you were wondering where I was in most of this episode, maybe I was in the kitchen talking with the chef or taking a nap while the other girls ran to sign up for massages. I was really treating this trip as what it was for me: a vacation. The drama was just continually unfolding and refolding with Sonja. It felt never-ending. Can anyone really help her if she is not willing to help herself? I get it--we are all concerned. But we are officially spinning the drain. BORING!

Nice Doesn't Work With You People

Maybe Sonja likes the attention? Maybe we have NOTHING else to talk about? I wish we could talk about our children, or our husbands, or relationships, but unfortunately we seem incapable of that. I have to say that it is hard to go anywhere with eight women, never mind six women on the prowl, six divorcees. In my eyes, me and Sonja were cool. I felt the other women had good control over the Sonja situation, which left me able to chill out and relax. The last thing I wanted to to do was ping pong back and forth between all of these convos.

Side note--did anyone else hear Ramona admit that she does think Sonja is drinking too much? Ramona knows Sonja better then any of us. Ramona is so back and forth with this. Dorinda says that Sonja will ask for help if she needs it? Do we really think that will happen?

Ramona is officially the root of most of the problems! She stirs and stirs that damn pot and walks aways while the rest of us have to deal with the aftermath! WTF! I am so over it! Why does she always get away with this? ALWAYS, just like with the room situation. Why do we let her get away with this sh--?! NO more…done.

WOW! Sonja is pissed! Really mad this time...I am just happy that this is not my doing. I really feel like I am good with Sonja at this point. Meanwhile, Ramona continues to be two-faced.

A Different Side of Sonja Emerges

The boat, I have to say, was great! We had a blast! I was sad that Sonja didn’t join us but felt that her time out was needed. It was nice to all get along and joke with each other! (Especially with Ramona and the cold ice water! Yes it was my idea, thank you very much!) I am very happy to see that she is over the whole blow dry situation!

It was also nice to chat with Bethenny and have a convo with her that wasn’t an argument, just girl chat. Afer all that had been going on, it was nice!

Dinner out--let me break this down…eight women is a lot to get ready and out of the house. We were an hour late everywhere we went. Half of us were ready and waiting in theshelving room, having a great visit and a couple drinks while the other half joined us late and wanted to chill and have a cocktail in the living room. At that point, the girls that were ready on time wanted a change of scenery and looked forward to the restaurant. So, we decided to go on ahead and meet at the restaurant. Ironically, the ladies that left after us got there before us? SO, she, Dorinda, and I got out of of the car and had the impression that the other ladies were mad at us? It was all a huge misunderstanding. BUT...there is clearly something brewing between Heather and Dorinda. Dorinda was quick to fire off at her! Or maybe it was just the martinis! LOL #staytuned

What Is Going on With Heather and Dorinda?
