thats interesting about sonja, ive always had a soft spot for her - the season where Bethenney comes back after her divorce shows her really having a hard time and appearing to be in the depths of problem drinking but i would love the reality to be that since then she's had it together cause i really root for her...Another Doriander fan here also utterly shocked by the way she was gunning for Tinsley last season.
Luann's narrative arc is the most surprising one for me. Going from being a former nurse to being a Countess to now being a "so tit it's actually tit" cabaret act. But did feel bad for her when she clearly couldn't drink on camera and was surrounded by...well Sonja
On the note of Sonja, I'm sure I read somewhere else (Reddit maybe) that she's quite a shrewd business woman and isn't as messed up as we'd have believe on the show.
I also enjoy Dorinda but my eyes were opened when she went to Puerto Rico (I think?), her behaviour was just APPALLING.
For me Luann was shockingly likeable the season after she was arrested etc. but that didn't last long ha ha
