Real Housewives of New York Season 15, Episode 11 Recap: Resorting to Madness

2 weeks ago 16

The Real Housewives of New York cast traveled to Puerto Rico in the Tuesday, December 10 episode. The episode had all the elements of a successful RHONY girls’ trip. They fought over room assignments, sipped on cocktails, and a major argument broke out during dinner. What more could you ask for?

If you missed the chaos, I’ll bring you up to speed. Here’s your recap for Real Housewives of New York Season 15, Episode 11 called, “Resorting to Madness.”

What happened on Real Housewives of New York Season 15, Episode 11?

It’s time for the first girls’ trip of the season! The women said goodbye to New York and headed to Puerto Rico. I’m pleased to report it was a good episode. Erin and Ubah made amends, Jessel lost her suitcase, and Brynn and Rebecca went head-to-head.

Keep reading for a more detailed recap of tonight’s episode.

The women board a plane to Puerto Rico on Real Housewives of New York

Episode 11 kicked off with the women boarding a plane to Puerto Rico. There is still some tension between Erin and Ubah, who have yet to have a conversation about the gaslighting allegations at the picnic party. Erin wants to squash the beef immediately. In a confessional, she says she doesn’t want an “Anguilla 2.0” situation. Oh God, same. I don’t need another Phonegate thing. Ubah (surprisingly) seems down to bury the hatchet. However, she hasn’t totally forgiven Erin, which is not surprising given how Ubah has operated this season.

The RHONY cast freaks out over room assignments

In typical RHONY fashion, there is drama over room assignments. Shoutout to Luann’s meltdown over the fish room. I miss her so much! There are six bedrooms, which means four women will need to share. Jenna and Racquel agree to share the primary bedroom. Hmm. I can’t help but think about Jenna’s hall pass comment from a few episodes ago… We’ll see.

Unfortunately, the other women aren’t as willing to share. Sai volunteers to share but everyone else is set on having their own space. Brynn says she’ll take “the sh*ttiest room” if she doesn’t have to share. The group is satisfied with this compromise. Rebecca doesn’t want to share but Brynn nominates her to be Sai’s roommate. Brynn’s hatred for Rebecca is so perplexing to me. She’s been nothing but chill and nice. Erin tells Rebecca to stand up for herself, but Rebecca doesn’t want to give Brynn the reaction she is hoping for.

The room drama continues on Real Housewives of New York

The women arrive at the house and are greeted by Marieliz, the house manager, and Eli, the bartender, who welcomes them with cocktails. Moments before their arrival, we hear Eli and Marieliz talking about how they’ve never watched the show, but they know it’s about “women with money,” (LOL). If there is one thing the RHONY reboot is going to do it’s break the fourth wall. They are OBSESSED with doing that.

Once they get inside, the room scramble begins. The women (excluding Ubah) run around the house to find the best room. Shades of Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan linger in the air. Brynn backtracks on her promise and decides to leave Ubah with “the sh*ttiest room.” Ubah is chilling outside and seems completely unbothered by the room assignments. When she first hears about Brynn breaking her promise she doesn’t care. She tells the women she is just happy to be here with them. But then she sees the room and has a meltdown. She refuses to stay in the room and threatens to go to a hotel. So dramatic! It’s not a bad room by any means. It’s just a little small. Sai plays peacekeeper by offering to take the room and Erin agrees to room with Rebecca, so Ubah can have a better room. I wish they didn’t cave so easily. Ubah was giving Ramona vibes in this scene. Not cute.

Brynn and Rebecca’s feud reaches a new level

Brynn enters Jenna and Racquel’s room. The vibes are fun until Rebecca appears and Brynn’s demeanor completely changes. Damn, she really does hate her. She asks Rebecca if she is ok with sharing a room. Rebecca says she’s not but is willing to be the bigger person. She explains that she wants her own room because her bed is constantly filled with children at home. When Brynn pushes back Rebecca responds by saying she’ll understand when she has kids. Yikes. Not good. Brynn wants a family and Rebecca knows that. The comment sets her off. Brynn starts lamenting about how she is “extraordinarily busy” so she understands needing time alone. It’s honestly a good scene. It feels like the most authentic moment of tension we’ve had all season.

Ubah and Erin clear the air on Real Housewives of New York

Meanwhile, Jessel is searching for her missing suitcase. We find out Brynn hid her suitcase to mess with her. OH MY GOD! ENOUGH WITH THE PRANKS! I really need them to stop this. They aren’t even good pranks. Brynn eventually tells her where her suitcase is and this storyline goes nowhere. What was the point of that?

Erin and Ubah finally have a conversation. They agree to disagree when it comes to whether Erin is a gaslighter or not but overall, the conversation is productive and they come to a resolution. Ubah says she was hurt that Erin didn’t come to her when she was upset by the comment. She had to hear about it from Brynn. Erin apologizes and the two agree to move forward.

Later on, Ubah tells the other women about her conversation with Erin. She repeats what she said outside, telling the women she does think Erin gaslights people but she’s happy to move forward and be friends. Brynn runs off and tells Erin that the women are sh*t talking her downstairs. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Brynn, you potstirrer! Erin goes downstairs to confront the women. Erin relays what Brynn said and asks if anyone else thinks she is a gaslighter. Sai raises her hand and says she thinks Erin does tend to gaslight. She brings up the pregnancy prank, which really sets Erin off. She yells, “AM I IN LOONEYVILLE?” and runs out of the room. It’s a crazy moment.

Rebecca calls Brynn a bully on Real Housewives of New York

Five minutes later, Erin isn’t mad anymore and they are all chillin’ in the pool. Haha, classic Housewives. Rebecca talks to Erin, Jenna, and Jessel about her awkward moment with Brynn. The women encourage Rebecca to stand up to Brynn. Jenna asks what would need to happen for her to fight back. Rebecca says it’s not a matter of what it’s when. Oooh, okay, Rebecca!

Meanwhile, Brynn is venting to Racquel, Ubah, and Sai about Rebecca’s comment. None of them say anything because none of them agree with her. I’m Team Rebecca on this one. She wasn’t saying Brynn isn’t as busy as her. It is true that you have less alone time when you have children. I don’t understand why that is so hard for Brynn to acknowledge.

The Rebecca/Brynn feud comes to a head at dinner when Brynn once again brings up Rebecca’s comment. The Fashion Maven keeps her cool but points out that Brynn has made several rude comments about her. Brynn makes a series of nonsensical points in this scene. Erin tries to explain that when you have children it’s hard to get a good night’s rest because children are constantly coming into your bedroom. Brynn claims to understand this struggle because Russian billionaires call her in the night. What? Yeah, this is not her best moment. The episode ends with Rebecca calling Brynn a bully. Yikes…I guess we’ll have to wait until next week to see how this ends.

I actually enjoyed this episode of RHONY. I was invested in the Brynn and Rebecca drama. It was one of the few storylines this season that felt authentic.

Real Housewives of New York airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
