This week’s Real Housewives of New York City, titled “Dodging Rumors,” seems poised to deliver the typical blend of interpersonal drama and manufactured tension that keeps the Bravo machine humming. For viewers both casual and committed, Tuesday’s episode offers a glimpse into the ever-shifting alliances and simmering resentments that define this particular group of socialites.
Ubah Hassan’s relationship takes center stage, as she tackles the inevitable hurdles that come with airing one’s romantic life on national television. Will it be a case of too much information, or will the added scrutiny create unforeseen cracks in the foundation? It’s reality TV, so smart money’s on the latter.
Meanwhile, Erin Lichy and newbie Racquel Smith embark on a double date. I can only imagine the forced conversation and thinly veiled competitiveness that will likely arise. Let’s hope there’s at least some decent food involved.
Sai De Silva and her daughter are apparently in for a surprise. Whether this involves a new puppy, a modeling gig, or something far more contrived, we’ll have to tune in to find out.
And, because it wouldn’t be RHONY without a healthy dose of gossip, a juicy secret begins to circulate among the housewives. Is it true? Is it exaggerated? Does it even matter? The ensuing fallout is all but guaranteed to fuel several episodes’ worth of squabbles and confrontations, so consider this secret the gift that keeps on giving (or, more likely, taking).
Tune in Tuesday, November 12, at 9/8c on Bravo to see how it all unfolds.
