I thought LuAnn's behaviour during her etiquette luncheon for her daughter was quite rude. I thought Victoria was embarrassed by her mother. Would Victoria also have a countess title? I recall LuAnn saying something about Noel becoming the count after his father passes away. Hasn't her husband been married multiple times? Does he have other children? What's up with their "royal status"?

And another Top Chef/Real Housewives cross over. This episode it was Sam from Season 2 who supposedly was a good friend of Kelly's and on RHWOC, Brian came up to cook for Tamra's dinner. Just very interesting.....

No other network can pimp itself out the way Bravo does. A few seasons ago, RHOOC pimped out Austin Scarlett as the designer of Lauri's wedding dress.

Rambling thoughts on the 3/17 show * I wonder if hands were washed after Kelly's kids and the Countess handled the puppy before cooking ? * I thought that Chef Sam looked familiar....... * I had no idea that Ramona was attractive until she referred to herself using that "word" when shoe shopping with her daughter. I had no clue....... * This is scary but I liked Alex last night for the first time EVER. I must be ill, gotta go , I need to see my primary care provider for an Rx.

As someone pointed out last week, Silex may be more "normal" than they get credit for. Personally, I loved the blow-up pool in their backyard (because it is a luxury for anyone that lives in New York to have a backyard big enough for one). I also give Alex props for admitting that she met Simon online. I certainly would not have the nerve to admit that on TV.

Not only did Alex admit she met Simon online, she admitted that they were both just looking for one night stands! That is something major to admit on TV. I am liking them better as the season goes along and how they are dealing with the reality of the renovation. Not everyone is able to just move out when they do a renovation, that is reality. I posted this earlier but most of the episodes were shot in the summer and early fall, wonder how these families are doing with the economy. Much of the major problems happened after that time. We already know about Alex's job but I do know they get paid for doing the show so maybe it won't be too bad. Just wondering......

Simon and Alex like each other. They really like each other. The enjoy each other's company. Good for them. They may have some issues but they clearly have each other.

okay Alex and Simon... IMO are just unattractive and sickening to watch. Two people no one else could want, found each other. That's perfect.

As I've never had cable, I've never seen RHNYC or know who any of them are . . . until Bethenny showed up behind Tom on DWTS. She reminds me of someone else, but don't know who. Later read it was Bethenny. Then last week she was on Bonnie Hunt and mentioned her knew book "Naturally Thin". I bought it and am reading it now. Am liking Bethenny and the book very much.

Ok, so I watched this show for hours yesterday,lol. My older sister was telling me she watched it so I thought I would check it out. some of my thoughts, LuAnn- she needs to take some of her own advice on manners. the episode where she is being awarded some kind of award, she was talking a lot and loudly, finally decides maybe she should shut up and listen, actually takes the mic away from the lady to tell people to quiet down and goes right back to yacking up a storm. also, I agree she made too much of a production out of Ramona's rude comment about her husband being old, yet was rude to Bethany who waited for private time to tell her she was hurt.

Kelly, is she the new girl? I think she might be kind of cool but she is sort of rude too. Ramona called it what it was. I like Jill but she is a bit snobbish. Bethany is my favorite and I think she has the best manners. Alex and Simon are an odd couple.

That about sums it up, Denecee! Except I'd add that I think Jill acts spoiled as well as snobbish.

I have a strange feeling that Luanne's marriage might be in trouble and that is why all the blowups lately. Hopefully, I am wrong.

That may be possible Grooch. Have we even seen her husband this season?

I just read in People magazine that we will finally be having Real Housewives of New Jersey. I think it will be starting after RHWONY is over. They had a bio of each housewife. I think two are sisters.

Wow. Where to start with tonight's show? Everyone was sniping at everyone else. I really don't like Kelly and think she's very insecure for all her supposed beauty and social standing. She doesn't seem as mature as the other women, especially at the charity meeting. I was on Bethany's side on that one. Kelly could've explained in under a minute why she didn't want to be a co-chair and they could've moved onto the business of the meeting, which was not herself. Romana is horrible to Simon because she can be; IMO she treats him like dirt because he has nothing to offer her. I'm a little scared of her. I cringed when Simon was justifying going to a Brooklyn designer. They just don't have the money to go to a higher level. Sad but true. I also didn't love Jill this episode--came across as quite pretentious at the designer's private show. So ummm, who did I like? I didn't mind Luann this episode--she likes to have fun and, unbelieveably, came across as the most grounded and secure in the bunch. Alex also carried herself well this episode. Wow, just wow. They are all being very competitive with each other and it really shows.

I think the show feeds that competitive spirit - and what did Kelly think she was signing on to when she agreed to do the show? Maybe Bethany saying she wants to hang with celebrities Kelly thought doing the show would get her face time and around more celebrities? Last night watching the "story" unfold, it did become clear that the producers may have a "story" scripted, but they can only show what they do - and what Kelly "did" wasnt really pretty - even "the Countess" talking about charity has to be the "accepted" reality - and so countess-like - only "rich and powerful" people do charities - I so wanted to write Bravo and clue them in to how many of us "regular" people do chair major fundraisers!! (and i"m as "little" as they come - seriously, I know no one, I am no one - but when a "cuase" is thrown upon you, whether you are Jill, or me - you step up and figure out how to raise money!! Its exhausting, throwing a $250 a plate charity with a silent auction - but getting special needs kids to camps for the summer - priceless!) So, yes, Kelly's attitude was insulting. I liked they showed her working, and sorting thru her day, and her interviewing - but she came across as "being 'on' camera" and so it seemed to come across as being more about her - but then again, that was the industry that made her famous... JIll I think did get caught up in the glamour of fashion week, and the tv cameras and look at me - that necklace was fabulous! I didnt think so until she put it on with that dress - I did want to see it draped on other dresses!! Romana hasnt been shown that much - and Simon seemed to be baiting her (did he say she doesnt have filters so let him have it - her opinion?) She started taking the high road too there for a brief moment - move on its not the time or place.. so once again, you have to believe its the show forcing these people together when normally they would not cross paths - or when they do cross paths, they wouldnt acknowledge each other for the most part!! and I lol at Bethany trying to set the record straight on the backstory of Kelly hitting on Bethany's old boyfriend! Setting it up for next episode perhaps? I go back to Bethany promoting the show on Ellen, or Bonnie - she comes across as very kind, and quick witted, not mean spirited. and Kelly has that domestic violence episode on her to taint how she is viewed by at least me... so I keep watching!!

Kelly just seems so uncomfortable around the other ladies - it's a little hard to watch. Whether or not Ramona has no filter, I think Simon asking her that right there at that moment was so awkward!!!! I would have told him to sit down!

I know I'm in the minority and will take some heat, but I kinda understand Ramona's feelings about Silex. I think it all goes back to the "girls night out" issue last season. Alex knew when she was invited that it was going to be girls only and she chose to bring Simon anyway. I would have been upset if I was looking forward to a girls night out and found out upon arriving that a man had been invited. My only criticism was the way Ramona handled it. I would have done one of two things. I would have went to the hostess and said "I'm sorry, I thought this was for girls only and I'm feeling uncomfortable. Thank you for inviting me." Then I would gracefully exit. My (personal favorite) second choice would be to stay and start discussing female issues - cramps, heavy bleeding, etc. Then I would turn to the male in the room and say "Do you have these problems?" I would hope at that point he would be embarrassed and choose to leave. I know this isnt't the politically correct way to handle it, but it would be fun. LOL Simon totally invaded Ramona's space at the fashion show. You don't confront someone in a public forum. She told him it wasn't the place to discuss the issue and he kept on pushing. I'm finding Silex more tolerable this season. I'm liking Bethany and Jill. I'm having mixed emotions about Ramona and Kelly. Like someone said upthread, LuAnne loves LuAnne enough for all of us.

I totally understand Ramona's position. What bothered me about last night's episode (I'm still in the middle of watching it) is that Simon just didn't take the clue. That was NOT the time or place to discuss why she doesn't like him, and the fact that he continued to push himself on her likely alienated her even more. Ramona may not have a filter for what she says, but Simon has absolutely no clue about proprieties and the niceties of behavior. I don't find Alex and Simon more tolerable this season. We're seeing less of them, and I think they are less greedy than in the past. That's all.
