![]() Bertha’s zeal to climb the ladder is practically demonic, shaking loose those condescending fussbudgets and sociopaths already at the top. But Coon is so mesmerizing precisely because she doesn’t even try to make her character sympathetic. I’m appalled by the way she views those from the working class as almost a subhuman species, and I roll my eyes at the overwrought manners and ceremony that preoccupy Bertha and her peers. I shouldn’t care about who gets a luxury box in the rival opera houses that divide old money from new in 1883 New York. I don’t even think I like Bertha Russell, but I cannot get enough of Coon’s delicious performance as this status-obsessed wife of a robber baron.

After six seasons as chief stewardess on Bravo’s Below Deck, Chastain wasted no time in establishing herself as a reality star who, when plugged into the right environment (in this case, a Scottish castle crammed with Big Brother, Survivor, and Bachelor alums), knows just how to bring the heat.

We may have waited an entire season for about a minute’s worth of content, but in that 70 seconds, Cattrall reminded everyone how irreplaceable Samantha Jones really is. And despite rumors of bad feelings behind the scenes, Cattrall brought her A game to the event. Simply seeing her on the phone with Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie was more than enough to warm the heart of any die-hard SATC fan. Cattrall may have sought sartorial help from original Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field for the occasion, but Samantha Jones could have been wearing a paper bag for all we care.
