SNEAK PEEK: Dorinda Plays Mediator Between Luann and Ramona | The Golden Life (S1, E2) | E!
Coffee is already ordered when Luann arrives, but Ramona has more than brunch on her agenda. The previous evening's dinner arrangements need discussing, and Dorinda soon volunteers for the job nobody assigned her: mediator.
E! Entertainment's sneak peek from The Golden Life's second episode puts the former Real Housewives of New York City castmates around an outdoor restaurant table in Palm Beach. Luann is already questioning Ramona's insistence on punctuality. Then a flashback supplies the other sticking point: who was included in a private dinner invitation.
"No honey, it's a private invitation," Ramona says in the earlier scene. Back at brunch, the disagreement turns on how Luann's companions fit into her life, with Dorinda pointing out that people have different relationships with their work teams.
"Listen, I see both sides, so let me be the mediator here," Dorinda says. Her solution is less about deciding who was right than getting everyone accustomed to being around each other again.
The preview reached about 33,000 views in fourteen hours, far beyond E!'s usual start for a Short. In the comments, several viewers focus on invitation etiquette, arguing that a specified guest limit should settle the matter.
Dorinda, meanwhile, has a broader coordination problem in mind. Finding a shared rhythm also means getting Sonja into step.
