Summary

Jess sits down with Rori Sassoon, the New York City-based matchmaker behind the season 10 RHONY speed dating event that spurred the Bethenny & Carole tussle over "Red Scarf Guy." Rori is back on RHONY this season, setting up Ramona with a new guy. Rori tells the story of how a random meeting with Carole turned into a major filming opportunity, and how she was eventually approached by producers to interview for a slot as a Housewife last year. We also cover Jill Zarin's everlasting connection to the cast, Khloe Kardashian & a lot more!
