Can you imagine a world where Ramona Singer is calling the shots in the halls of Congress? Apparently, Dorinda Medley can! The Real Housewives of New York star recently weighed in on those rumors that her former castmate is eyeing a political run. As horrifying as that might sound to some of us, Dorinda doesn’t think it’s too far-fetched.
Dorinda recently appeared on the Lovett or Leave It podcast and talked all about her Real Housewives journey, her past life as a political spouse, and everything in between. Ramona’s name popped up more than a few times, but towards the end of the podcast, host Jon Levett asked Dorinda about those rumors about Ramona’s alleged political aspirations. Is there any truth to it?
“I wouldn’t put it past her,” Dorinda quipped. “And you know what? She may win.”
She continued, “What people don’t know about Ramona, or maybe they do. She’s brilliantly smart, and I consider myself a smart person. I can’t say that about all the Housewives, but she’s smart.”
On RHONY, fans saw Ramona as a flirtatious and occasionally problematic character with a penchant for mispronouncing words. However, Dorinda said we shouldn’t be fooled by that. The RHONY OG knows a thing or two about finance and business.
“She’s very switched on,” Dorinda said of Ramona’s business acumen.
With all of that said, we’re not so sure if Ramona would actually get a vote from Dorinda. That’s not necessarily a policy-based decision, but because Ramona is eyeing a run for office in Florida. That’s where she’s been spending a lot of her time, following her departure from RHONY.
“She’s already got a base of followers, she’s wealthy, and she’s friends with a lot of conservative players,” a tipster shared earlier this year. “Don’t laugh — in Florida, that’s enough to land a seat.”
Bobby’s death was chalked up to the intention of grounding the series when 9-1-1 was never about realism. In fact, that’s part of its appeal — to be able to watch intense calls while also having the re-assurance that at the end of it, the main cast will walk away from them without permanent damage. Bobby’s death changes that whole perception, with 9-1-1 season 9 already following his demise with Eddie’s abuela passing away.
Sadly, if 9-1-1 season 9, episode 6, “Family History’s” new trailer (via TV Promos/YouTube) pays off its tease, the 118 is bound to lose another member in Hen. As seen in the promo, her hand gets numb, with the clip ending with her collapsing. Watch the video below:
Hen’s seeming health scare isn’t the first time that she has gone through a near-death experience this season. As part of 9-1-1 season 9’s four-part premiere, she and Athena were sent on a space trip that, unsurprisingly, went wrong. She and the rest of her fellow explorers were able to come back home, luckily. It would be a waste if she ends up being dead just a couple of weeks later. In terms of storytelling, 9-1-1 is also still dealing with the backlash from Bobby’s death, so killing another major character now is not going to be in their best interest.
Regardless of what lies ahead for Hen, her plot is surely going to bring up some emotions from 118. Bobby’s death is still fresh in their minds, even though they have started the process of moving on. From the looks of it,
