Welcome back to the Twilight Zone, as Caroline says. First, I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend and thought of our troops overseas defending us every day for our freedom. I know many of our service men and women watch our franchise on iTunes or online and I hope we give you an hour to escape and laugh. This show, like mine, is meant to entertain you. Sometimes we are not shown in the nicest light - if you know what I mean. I can only comment on what I see and I will leave it the ladies to explain what happened in their individual blogs.

So here we go...week three...

Teresa, you don't know how to drive to NYC? Please tell me that was a joke on the camera crew? If what I was seeing was what you were seeing, I know exactly where you were and the signs are clearer than clear. Leave early if you have an important appointment. First impressions are everything. Rather be early than late. Blah, blah, blah. You made it.

Wilhelmina is the BEST. Marlene Wallach is one of the most well-known experts in the child modeling industry. I agree with her...no makeup! I am so happy Teresa is taking her advice. Gia's eyes are the most beautiful eyes on TV (well, except for Ally of course.)

Jaime, who are you? It wasn't clear to me. Are you Dina's brother? My only comment is that designers are often not practical. Dina was right about plastic. Sticky. I totally related to Dina regarding her daughter. I also have one daughter. I love to work and am often torn between balancing my career and being a good mom. A good mom does not have to be home everyday at 3PM. It is a rare luxury today to have a mom home at 3PM and we should not judge, lest we be judged.

Jill,

Between you and Bethany..2 of the true ladies on the show.Would not call the other ones ladies as I cannot believe that there are really women out there who act so immature. Flaunting all they have and acting so terrible as they appear to care about charitable issues. Sometimes all the yelling makes my head hurt and I just shut the show off! Kelly is one of the most insensitive, self-centered individual I have ever seen.Romona is just plain out of control. The Countess is so high on herself and god forbid we don't address her as such. She needs an oxygen tank at the levels she thinks she breaths at! I give you and Bethany many bows for holding your own and acting like ladies.

Jill, let me say that you were by far my most favorite on the NYC show. And I agree with your opinion of Caroline, she kind of scared me in the first episode with the line "thick as theives" but in reality, that's how I am. Having lived in Jersey, I see so much of myself in Caroline and if I could hang out with anyone, it would be you and her. You gals rock!

This comment is for Jill, you remind me of family. I just adore you. After marriage I brought my family up in Sunnyside, and Woodside Queens. I have a son still in Woodside and the other on the Island, I am now in Lakewood New Jersey. I just had to comment because I adore you and Bethany. If I could hang around with anyone it would be you 2. I just love both of yours personally and your honesty.

I also actually am fond of Alex, if this show is based on who you all are, I find her refreshing, she is who she is and she doesn't bow down to anyone whether they like her or not. Good for you Alex

Jill ~ you are the BEST!!! I wish I had a friend like you. I WISH I HAD A FRIEND LIKE YOU!!! ( I'm saying that with Bethany's Jill Zarin voice ~ which is no small task cuz I'm on the west coast LOL! ) You seem so honest & sincere and with high integrity. I say "seem" because I know there is editing and all ~ but you really can't fake those qualities and I don't believe they can be edited out. Are you and Bethanie friends outside of the show? I think she would be an absolute hoot to have as a friend too. You two seem to be a good match despite the little snafu over her advertising at your fundraising event. I can't wait until the new season starts up again. The N.Y. Housewives have become my favorite out of all the "Housewives" shows.

Okay ~ What type of bra did you wear pre-reduction? I think I am approximately the same build & size (5'2", 34 G )and have searched for a good bra for DECADES. How can you wear tank tops & deep cut dresses without everything hangin out and your bra showing? Please, please please advise on make & model of those good bra's you were wearing. Thank you.

Jill ~ personal question ~ What bra (manufacturer & style/model) did you wear pre-reduction? I am always on the search for a better more supportive bra. I have never found one that is supportive enough and still pretty and low enough to wear lower cut tops & dresses. On the program I see you wearing beautiful deep "V" dresses and tops and tanks without any bra showing.
Thank you for any info. you can provide me about where I can get bra's like yours. I am 5'2" and have the same body shape as you. I have wanted to have a reduction for years but I'm kinda afraid and my husband doesn't want me to.

I don't think any of the housewives should have family members on the show to promote themselves. We don't need to see your sister's radio show or your mother talking non stop, she doesn't listen. please no more.

Jill, I was ready to add a comment about how great, real and true you are, but I see about a thousand have beat me to it. You are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE housewife on any of the Atlanta, Jersey (wasn't there a Dallas one?). You have such a wonderful and generous husband - I really like Bobby. Your beautiful child looks like a young goddess - her coloring and eyes. And your Mom is just what I would expect, beautiful, charming and full of very good advice. I love the fact that you and Bobby have worked so hard for what you have - love the new decor in your home.

I must add that your slight hair change (was it layered?)at the reunion show was stunning and you looked beautiful. You hair, makeup and clothing made you stand out of all the ladies. I was a red head for 40 years and I know red heads are special, generous to a fault, flirt just a tad, but loved to be admired. You are certainly admirable in so many ways - especially your charities.

I absolutely loved your expensive birthday purse - you deserved it. I believe I have also seen you carry a very large gold or silver purse (as have some of the ladies). Can you share the brand with this Southern woman??? I will not be able to get a brand name, but perhaps I can find a 'similar' one.

You are the best and someone I look up to. You and Bethanie are a hoot together. She is my second favorite. What a woman and worker. I liked the Countess, but she did come across a little "Countessy" though I know she did not mean to. She is a lovely lady and I am sorry to hear she may have marital problems. I hope it works out.

Can't think of the name, but the blonde you told to shutup does have 'crazy eyes.' I get almost sick when she opens them so wide. Not attractive. (I believe it is called bug-eyed.) It is not as if they are grown like that - she does it on purpose!! She is really full of herself. Jill could simply sit out the next show or any after that. She came across as so shallow and I absoluted hated how she changed her voice to that 'little girl' sound anytime she was around a man!! Alex is a little different, but you need someone a little different from the rest of you to round out the show. I think her heart is in the right place, but I do believe she should put a few rules down for her children. They are adorable, but some parents just never understand other people don't necessarily like to be around very loud children who don't seem to mind.

I love you, lady. Hope I hear a word back. Do you have a photo of you or you and your family you could send?

Best regards,

Sondra

ick I cannot even watch the New Jersey housewives. They are rude and obnoxious and think they are cute - not to mention just b-o-r-i-n-g. yuck. The New YORK housewives are the best and are my favorites, especially you and Bethanny. Keep being yourself Jill, you are great to watch!

Ally is a lovely kid and Grandma Gloria rules! Just try to give your daughter a bit of breathing room...let her have fun (i.e. bowling with Bobby the other week) and just enjoy doing fun kid's stuff. Not everyone is as driven as you and not everything in life needs a competition. I know you love Ally and are a good mom...just a suggestion! See you next season.

Hey Jill,
WOW,this Jersey Girl Stufff is crazy. I blogged Bethenny and told her, you and her are the best. There are no duplicates, there is nothing like you ladies of NY. I think you women should cast some class over the Hudson River to those Jersey Girls. Seriously, when are you ladies coming back!!!
Bravo needs to give you and Bethenny your own show. Maybe a road trip show where you leave Ramona in the dust as you take off on your first adventure!!!

jill i absolutely love you. your so beautiful and unique i really enjoy watching the New York wives better than cali even though im from cali. I think women from New York have a different way of thinking however i don't know what's up with Luanne as a Native American girl myself i almost died when she told bethany that guys are in some way inferior maybe she forgot who she is and that in our culture or most Native American cultures we are very important and respected. sorry for putting this on u but can you please tell her their r a lot people cheering for her and that she may be the only Native American face people see on tv so tell her to just be herself and be proud of it. ill be praying for you jill and luanne as well. bless u!

You are too in a very classy undercover way that you may not even know exists inside you. I wondered if you cared for Caroline, and after reading I see you do. I am not surprised. Could you see you, her,and Bethanny doing a show. Why don't you guys suggest an episode where NJ and NY meets?

Hi Jill,
I love how you tell the Jersey girls " what not to do " and " how to do it. " You are so funny and sweet.
Hey precious Ally, please help your Mom and Bobby by making dinner once a week, and even keeping your new bedroom clean. I know you hurt alot, because I have R.A. also, plus Fibromyalgia and Lupus. But, there are alot of simple receipes on the internet that require hardly anything. It takes just a minute to make a bed and throw your dirty clothes in the washer. Both of my sons did these things when they lived at home.
You are a very lucky young lady, and a busy one, but these chores do not take long. Your mother will be thankful, I promise. And very proud. Can't wait until next season . Have a great and restful summer.

Jill, I couldn't agree with you more. I think you, much like Dina and Caroline, have a good heart, honest approach to everything, and strong family values. I could definitely see you fitting in with them. I too think that Danielle is vulgar,possibly too honest and open with her children about certain subjects, and not willing to own up to her past.

I can see you and Caroline friends. You both live in insulated worlds where real life doesn't exist. You both are so full of yourselves that there is little room to let other people in, It must be really hard to work in your husband's store, spend the summers in the Hamptons, and "struggle" to be a working Mom when you have the resources to take care of anything that might arise.

Jill, before you go on showbiz tonight again talking about jon&kate I suggest you do a little bit of homework. Those children have filmed 100 episodes since april 2007 when that show first aired. Everyone keeps saying that it has been over a period of 5 years but it is not! Now doesn't that seem like a lot of filming to be doing for these little children just so mom & dad can buy a mansion and fancy cars. There isn't even laws in Pennsylvania in place that insist that the children have trusts set up for their compensation. We don't even know if those children will ever see a dime for all the humliation they have been put through. Just please do a little research. thank you

Jill! I have to say that I totally agree with the woman from Kenya! You are my favorite housewife, and who I feel most embodies the realities of that role. Part of what makes you so great is that you conduct yourself in such a professional and classy manner. You kind of have a responsibility to maintain that now, two seasons in! You generally say things that are incredibly intelligent and insightful, and you obviously have educated yourself in the course of your charitable work. I, too, cringed and was so disappointed to hear you make a comment so ignorant about whether there is tv and other modern amenities in Africa. It was the only moment of yours that shocked me. You're supposed to be defying the stereotype that you can't be wealthy, successful, attractive, charitable AND intelligent. You normally do it so well! Be careful!

However, i was very suprised when you asked if we do have horses and TV in Kenya. Absolutely, we have all the same things you may have...the only different is that not everybody has it. There are people in Kenya who are leaving much better than you and the other housewives of New York. I would never imagine a person like you to ask such stupid question. You will have lots of fun if you visit Kenya and see all there is for yourself! :)

Hello Jill,

I have been a fan of the show for the past season. Of all the housewives I was most impressed with you. My reason for posting this to get some fund raising information from you. I am involved with a non profit organization to help provide a residential home for young girls in and aging out of foster care. The name of our nonprofit is "Granny's Place". Is there any way that you can help us with our funding?

Thank you. I hope to see you again in the new season. Blessing to you and your family. P.S. I was very impressed your daughter, a very delightful young lady.

First of all I want to say, I like all of you, but I couldn't help but wonder sometimes if you guys were really friends before the show. Someone is always fighting with someone and you all talk bad about each other behind your backs. Is this how you treat your friends? Some of the things you say are pretty hurtful. Especially towards Alex and Simon. Ramona is a jerk!and deserves what she gets and Kelly is unstable, I feel a little sorry for her, truly something is wrong with her. Are you guys really friends or did they just put together an interesting cast?

Jill you are great! Ignore these losers. I've watched the NJ housewives but it's not the same. I think all New Yorkers have a genetic adversarial feeling towards New Jersey. They just aren't us ya know? Their humor or beliefs or lifestyles....Just don't think/do/live the way we'd do. I guess that's the point but for some reason the Atlanta and Orange County housewives didn't bother me the way the NJ chicks do.

I love the way you connect with your daughter, especially when you tried to have "the talk". that was so funny!!! Anyway, you said that Caroline scared you with her famous thieves line..really?? that actually interested me lol..oh well maybe it's just me being an italian and used to those kind of women from my family :P .. so even though Housewives of NJ won't ever be as good as NYC, i can't wait to see what happens!

I love NYC housewives. Jill, Bethenney and Alex are my favorite housewives. Jill, because she is the peacekeeper, Bethenney because she is honest, outgoing and fun, and Alex because she doesn't care about what anyone thinks about her or her husband (he's great because he is "Simon" and he is comfortable with himself)
I can't stand Kelly because she always talks about why she is better (or at least she thinks she is in her "Kelly World") than everyone else although she doesn't believe she acts that way. Come on Kelly, listen to yourself how can you not know you think you are better and more important than everyone else. YOU GO GIRLS!!! KEEP UP THE DRAMA, I LOVE IT.

Jill,

I didnt see last season, but caught up quickly when they ran it before the new season started and was hooked.. You and Bethenny are my favorites. The "Countess" needs to leave her title in her (ex) husbands country. She lives in America. I like LuAnn but get over the title. Kelly... she is in a world all her own. I beleives she contradicts herself all of the time. And I hope I am right in thinking when the other women saw the episode when she invited Bethenny to talk over their differences, you saw that she never really gave Bethenny a chance to clear the air between them and also in the bedroom at your home she acted as if she was at a total different meeting. She needs help. Alex and Simon are just entertaining but they do need to reprimend their sons more. And Romona needs to listen and stop trying to inforce her opion on people instead of shouting over any one else. Jill, you can get loud also and Bethenny as well, but you two pull it off a lot better and will apologize if you are confronted about your actions. The two of you are real LADIES in my book. Ggood luck to your Daughter in her Studies and look forward to the next season.

NJ HW does not hold candle to NYC. Mobbed up, clueless women that have no depth or direction in life. Caroline and her family are really the only ones who should garner any respect.

First of all Jill Zarin, you and Bethenny are my favs. Very witty. I agree whole hearted on Caroline, I like her the best on RHWONJ so far, I don't have an issue at all with Dina either. Looks like that family was cut from a good cloth.

I think a great show would be you NY ladies meet the NJ ladies. There is only a river between (NOT). That would be MOST interesting.

Jill,
I agree that this show has gone to your head. You seem to think that you are above the fray, but you're right in the middle and, in fact, seem quite two-faced.
I am so over the NY housewives - so totally mean spirited. Although I like Bethenny, who is authentic and very funny; and Alex, who is probably the kindest of all.
I cannot wait for the next episode of RHoNJ, as these women are honest, straight foward, and funny. The New Jersey series is my favorite so far, followed by the Orange County gals.

I watched all the housewives, and love NY. Love you and Bethany. I also was scared off by the promo for NJ. But since nothing was on I watched and have to agree with you Caroline is great. I like the relationship she has with hr kids. I love the work ethic she has taught her kids, they respect their parents out of love not fear. I would love to see promos that reflect some of that. Jt watched you lost footage. It was good too, I found it answered alot of questions that were asked at your sit down. I agree that Kelly should go to. How could she not see what a ass she made of herself.

Don't take this the wrong way Jill, I mean, I would really hate to offend you because you are one of my favorite housewives on the show but YOUR MOTHER IS REALLY FABULOUS!

She is the woman every one wishes they had not only in their lives but as the one responsible for giving them life.

That line from bethanny is over 15 years old.. I guess it is only new in your world and she has taken credit for it. Visit a more diverse area for some new sayings..

I just wanted to piggy back on something tinatina said earlier....if you don't like the show, don't watch it! Jill I LOVE you and Betheny...and Jill your mom is the BOMB! To all of you out there, this blog is for FANS! A FAN is someone who loves the show....if you do not LOVE the show and you are blogging here about how much you don't LOVE the show, you are a HATER...if this blog was for HATERS, it would be a HATER blog instead of a FAN blog....and like she said, no one cares! It's not gonna chane anything, Jill will still be Jill, Betheny will still be Betheny, etc....quit your bitchin!

Dear Jill, Love the show. You and Bethany are the roots that make it work. I have never done anything like this but cannot resist. What's with Kelly? She Never watched the show! What a liar. No way can she go on haven"t not seen it or not watched 1 time since. She has her mouth going all the time but never, never makes any sence or truth. She tries to wiggle out of every situation. How did she get on and how soon will she be leaving? Go to A.c. hilton often and hope to see you all there. Best of luck and good health. Fondly, Fran

Love ya Jill that being said everbody who has responded to your blog negatively and attacked you for having no class for stating "YOUR OPINION" should check themselves. You are just giving your opinion if they dont like it dont read it.I find it funny that they are angry at you for stating how you feel but have no problem stating how they feel about you. People in glass houses...

Jill Zarin - I agree with your comments about Housewives of NJ. The thing I like about you is you are just full of common sense.
