Star of the RHONY, [Luann de Lesseps](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2018/09/05/chrissy-teigen-parodies-rhony-star-luann-de-lesseps-the-countess-approves/), and newbie Barbara Kavovit, recently joined Andy Cohen for an episode of *Watch What Happens Live*. They dished on everything about the [RHONY](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/2018/12/06/jill-zarin-remembers-bobby-zarin-as-anniversary-of-his-passing-approaches-will-never-ever-forget-the-love-we-had/) this season. For starters, the ladies discussed the fish room in Dorinda Medley's house in the Berkshires. Luann was asked why she dismissed that Bethenny Frankel was upset about a room, after Bethenny was very supportive of Luann during a horrible time. Luann explained, *"Well, you know, do you remember the Berkshires? We've been up there quite a bit, remember? And I think Bethenny has said some very mean things to me in that house. So I found it, you know, kind of funny that she was hurt about a bedroom. I mean how could you be hurt about a room?"* Andy pointed out that Bethenny had been there for her so that's why people were wondering why she wasn't more understanding. Luann replied, *"Right, which I of course totally appreciate. But you know to be hurt about a room?"* So is the fish room really that bad? Barbara answered right away, *"No."* They laughed and Luann said, *"The teeth on those fish."* Barbara said, *"It's a gorgeous room. You know, maybe I was drinking the Kool-Aid just a touch at that point. And I heard some rumors about the fish room. You know I was walking around, it's a gorgeous house and then you see these big teeth in your face. But it was a beautiful house."* Luann clarified that the house is* "gorgeous."* Barbara also took the chance to respond to some shade from Ramona Singer this season. Barbara said,* "She wouldn't hug me but you know what it doesn't matter what Ramona does or she doesn't. I run a multimillion dollar construction company in New York City, in the toughest city in the world. I was ready to bring my bulldozer there. I just feel like Ramona, she says a lot but she doesn't contribute anything."* People wanted to know how Barbara handles the ladies this season. Barbara explained,* "I mean, I am trying to take the high road. I think I've explained and it'll play out, I just feel like I'm new in the group and they haven't embraced me at all. So I feel like it's just an uphill battle. But that's why I try to deflect Ramona a little, by apologizing to her - to try and just simmer her down. There's a way of dealing with people and I think, running a very large construction company in New York City, in the toughest city in the world, I think there's a way of dealing with people that just talk a lot and talk derogatory to people. I'm just trying to do my best in a tough crowd."* Barbara also got to talk about Ramona's style, because callers were wondering how Barbara tolerates Ramona criticizing her style. Barbara said,* "You know, I don't like the way she dresses particularly. I think she's just a lot of, you know, she really flipped by Barbie b**** switch this season, I have to tell ya. I don't like the way she dresses, but again I would never demean another woman by telling them they don't dress in the way I would want to dress. Everybody has their own individual style and I think everybody needs to embrace and support each other - which she doesn't."* How does Barbara like filming with the ladies of the RHONY? Barbara shared,* "Well, I think I just kind of was thrown into it."* What was Luann's advice for her friend Barbara before joining the show? Luann said she told Barbara to just *"be herself."* She also noted that she didn't want Barbara to have any preconceived notions. Barbara said it's different filming than watching the show at home. She said,* "It's kind of odd, going from watching a show to now being in the show"* but she feels more prepared now for it. Luann and Barbara have been friends for years. So they played a fun game of 'Spill The Lu Tea.' Which fellow *Real Housewives* has Luann complained about the most? Barbara answered,* "Between Ramona and Bethenny."* Who has hit on Luann that is famous? Apparently Hugh Grant. Is Luann a good tipper? Barbara quipped,* "I'm a better tipper."* Barbara feels that Luann did have suspicions before she got married. Barbara said,* "Yes, I do. I think she didn't want to believe it because she was so in love with him at the time. She really wanted to get married."* Luann's type? *"Feisty, little hair and shorter than her,"* Barbara said. I am loving this season of the RHONY! I look forward to watching the rest of the season. ## Thoughts on this all? Thoughts on this season?
