Just watched a marathon of season one which I had never seen. Goodness Alex was hard to take. She seems to have changed a lot. What a pretentious snob she was. And then there was LuAnn being introduced into the show and not wanting the "lower classes" like cab drivers to call her by her first name.

Jen Gilbert was the party planner for Jill, right? I didn't vote for her because I wasn't sure who she was.

Link June 17, 2010 | 10:02 pm Real Housewives of New York City Reunion Ends With Some Jew Hating Just when I thought stretching the reunion show to three episodes was really pushing it, just five minutes into hour three, I was wishing it had been stretched to ten hours. This is the most revealing hour of the season for the ladies of New York City.

Thanks for posting that link Frogi -have to cut and paste my chuckle from your link: They are talking about Playboy, and Alex’s naked pictures. Jill is attacking Alex, Alex is defending herself, Ramona is being prudish, Bethenny wants to escape, Countless is panicking because she has remembered Andy is Jewish, Jill is plotting how to get her own show, and Kelly has zoned everyone out. Andy goes around and asks who will come back for another season, should they do one. Bethenny is pretty much out, Ramona would come back, Alex is loving her new balls, and wants to come show them off. Sonja is getting into her groove, and wants to return. Countless may come back, but it depends how many Jews are going to be on the crew. Kelly would need to think about it, which makes no sense because she does not think. Jill does not think she could do another season, and it’s because she does not want to shoot with Alex again. Hey Bravo, she is giving you an ultimatum. It’s her, or Alex. Listen to me, listen to America, we are sick and tired of Jill, and do not want to see her anymore. You need to kick her ego driven ass to the curb, keep Alex, and call it a day.

Hmm, interesting. I'm Jewish and I didn't pick up on the Jewish reference at all. I noticed that her comment was that the count would be surprised, but there was something weird about how she said he would be "surprised."

Shelb, I think some bloggers are looking to make a lemon out of lemonade because no matter what Luann said, it was about the "Count" and not her anyways. Luann's cool as far as we've seen so far.

I see Luann's comment about dating someone of Jewish decent completely different. Since Luann is divorceed, she could come out and say he is anti-semetic (a bite me comment). She could have completely denied that he was anti-semetic. Or she could have danced around the question differently. But wasn't the question what the Count would think of dating someone who is Jewish? He would be surprised because......was the basic answer. Why would he be surprised? Because he is prejudice or because after 16 year of marriage he knows Luann is prejudice? I don't think her answer is a reflection the Count, but a reflection on her and her beliefs.

I would definitely rather that Alex was gone. She irritates me almost as much as Ramona does. I don't think I would watch without Jill

I think the question was about what the Count would think of Luann dating someone Jewish, but maybe you're right. I don't have the show saved so I can't check. Doesn't matter though. But good thought that maybe it actually is about Luann's predjudice and not the Count's. Hmmmm, got me wondering.

I thought it was pretty clear that The Count has anti Semitic tendencies. And obviously LuAnn didn't mind that too much since she married him and had 2 kids with him. It's shameful and ugly. She might be sleeping with this new Jewish friend of hers just to get back at the Count. I doubt LuAnn has issues with Jewish people but there is NO WAY she didn't know the Count thoughts on Jews. She had ample opportunity to say NO the count is not anti Semitic but she didn't.

What is the drink Ramona loves? Is it wine?

I think Kelly was refering to Pinot - Pinot Grigio (I doubt that they drink red wine because it would stain their teeth)

I don't think that LuAnn is anti-semitic since she is good friends with Jill, who is Jewish. The missing piece of the puzzle here is LuAnn's religion. Maybe he would be surprised because she is Catholic and married Catholic? Also, you could interpret her not wanting to comment on the Count because there could be some terms in their divorce that she is not going to talk about him on TV. Pure speculation on my part.

Luanne blew it when she didn't come straight out and answer Andy's question on whether or not the count has issues with Jewish people. See never answered the question she sounded like she couldn't say NO, the count doesn't have a problem with Jewish people. Andy.

Watching a rerun of this conversation...Luann says....It's not that he dislikes Jews, it's that he would be surprised that I am dating someone Jewish." emphasis on the word I. Leading up to this Andy says Luann said her ex would die if he knew she was dating someone Jewish. I didn't back this one up for a full quote like above. Most of us have shed prejudice enough to be friends with anyone regardless of ethniticity. Coupleing, marriage, some old prejudices do still come out. I see it in everyday life. We are all still learning and working on it. Some faster than others. No offense to anyone, I don't know anyone here well enough to understand where anyone is on the spectrum. Yes, getting rid of prejudice is a spectrum of acceptance.

O.K. now for a question I had hoped someone else would ask. Alex's nude phtos. I didn't go online to see them. Spread eagle as Jill says? Anyone see them and can give me the general idea of the photos? Most times I want to make up my own mind, but I really don't think I want to look. Impressions please?

I saw one of the pictures Mummy. They had blocked out the actual nude section and just showed her face. In this picture she looked so much younger. I don't know if this one was the one in her husbands hotel or not. Jill sure did want to make sure everyone heard the < husbands hotel > part. As Alex said in her blog, she wants to put Simon's job at risk.

Jill acts like a rabid jealous spiteful mean broad. It was so wrong and so bad saying spread eagle, even if it were true. I certainly hope that Jill's family sits her down soon and tells her how horrible she's been acting. Her and Kelly need to see a shrink in hopes to become less mean spirited. Maybe if they figure out what makes them so mean and hurtful they can then change.

Lil I agree. The problem being Jill has a serious flaw. She is a very jealous person. Add a devious nature and those two things are hard to overcome. I wish she could but sometimes people never change.

I'm a rabid fan...but I don't think I've ever posted here before throughout all the seasons. Just my take...I'm in a cut throat business just like Jill...if someone attacks me, I'm going to respond with WWIII. It's ingrained. It's programmed. It doesn't mean that I'm jealous or even devious; it means, "you crossed the line, you fool". That's what I think happened between Alex and Jill. Until Jill gets Alex back past the "line", she's going to continue to attack in any way...in every way...she can.
