IMHO you've got the right anwesr!

Jill,
Love the show and watching all the gals really. Some are funnier than others ( like Ramona - wacked out!), but you keep it real. But really, all this drama w/ Bethany - let it go. Either make up or move on. I did see the aftershow about you telling her you would talk off camera to clear it up and she wouldnt do it... hmm.. Guess Ill have to wait to see what happens.

Jill I Luv U And Bethany. I Have Already Bloged Kelly Just 2 Tell Her That She Lies Way 2 Much But Im Sure She Knows That About Herself. I Get A Kick Out Of Simon And Alex. I Do Like The Countess. And Then There Is Ramona Sometimes She Can Be Nice~but I Do Think Her Heart Is In The Right Place. I Dont Like Her Husband He Seems Like A Jerk But Maybe We Only Got 2 C His Bad Side So Maybe He Could Be A Nice Guy.lol I Dont Know How Ramona Did Not C Him Checking Out Those Women. She Seems 2 Notice Everything That People Do. Hmm Just A Thought. Well Luv U And Bethany U Guys Make The Show.

Hi Jill! OMG you are like such a zinger! you were right in saying that "crazy eyed" Ramona just can't keep up with you! I adore you Jill and yes you are "the real one". You are an excellent mommy and a strong woman. The other housewives are lucky to have a friend like you.I also cried when they showed the scene with your mom, she is wonderful and I see where you get it from.DO NOT FEEL GUILTY FOR SPENDING YOUR MONEY!!Don;t ley anyone rain on your parade, you deserve the best!I can't wait until next season..I hope that you's won't have to deal with bi-polar Kelly.God Bless You Jill, I hope you keep on keepin' on. Don't change, ever because you are an outstanding role model and YOU ROCK!! Chao! Cydi from Miami, FL.

Jill, it seems like everyone I meet says they like you the best because you are REAL. I can identify with you the most, you are who you are, you don't try to reinvent yourself, like me...you are a big mush when it comes to friends and those you care about and I think if it werne't for you, I probably wouldn't stay tuned to the show..it would be just too wacko!!!!!!!!!
Bethanny makes my skin crawl though she has had her "redeeming" moments, you have been a fantastic friend to her and she is darn lucky. I like that you are friends with everyone, and try to see the good in all of them. Alex and Simon are bottom line, nice, decent people..perhaps Simon isn't packaged in the traditional khakis and button down uniform of many men, but he is a wonderful family man and a warm and fuzzy kind of guy. I like that you see that in them....thanks for keeping it real.

You are one very classy woman!!! Thank God that you were on the show!!

Jill, you ROCK!!!! I love you. You are so down to earth and seem to be so sincere in all you do and say. Alli is so adorable and is just a lovely girl inside and out. You and Bethenny make the show. Keep up the good work!

Jill, love your personality. you are real, and really fun! love your relationship with your hubby and daughter, and also your friend! you and bethany seem to be close and hope that continues! You seem to enjoy your work and charity work! I loved your mom and dad! bring them back!!!! Have a great summer! If I ever come down from maine to NYC again, I will have to check out the store! will have to have a zarin pillow! as long as it does not cost as much as the "b" bag! lol! coach is about what i can afford on a nurses salary! take care, and hugs!

Hey Jill!! First off, let me repeat what I said on Bethenny's blog...I love your originality!! Its so refreshing for a reality show. I also love your devotion to Bethenny...shows what real friendships are all about be it a disagreement or whatever, you both care enough to fix the problem.
As for your spending, its not my business and if you have it, go for it!!
Keep being you Jill and I cant wait for next season!

Jill1 you are AWESOME!

I'M A HAIRDRESSER SO YOU KNOW IT'S ONE BIG GAB FEST EVERY DAY I WORK. SEE I DON'T SHUT UP EVEN WHEN I WRITE. LOVE YA FROM BOCA RATON

Awesome! Not for me but totally enjoy watching you be fabulous!

Hi Jill, LOVE YOU! My friends and I voted you the housewife we would most like to know and "hang out" with.

Bethany is your friend. She was upset but when she saw that you needed peace she initiated peace and tried to be beside you. Ramona is outrageously rude. Kelly is so selfcentered. She doesn't really hear what Bethany is ever saying and she does treat her poorly.

JILL,
I must agree with some of the others - You have bought into the "HYPE"! Where has the real Jill gone. I appreciated you because you were true and upfront but not a "posh-snob" about your wealth. Well, this season your attitude changed! You let material things become your main focus - You allowed Ramona's venomous behavior seep into your friendship w/Bethenny - You became a billboard for products! I am at a lost! One thing I love about New Yorkers is that they aren't so easily influenced. You are one of those that proved me wrong. Don't let cameras and small doses of fame change the Jill that gave most of us a reason to tune in. Be your true self not a showbiz version - the cameras will soon be gone...

I really like you Jill. I am the mother of an only daughter whom I adore and the wife of a husband who also has always been my rock and provides so well for my family. We have worked together to build a wonderful life together and I identify so much with you on the show. Good luck to you and your family.

well i hope yo9u are back next season i think you bethenny nand ally make the show .. i love how you include your daughter in your everyday life .. it showws that yall have a very good relationship and i hope that me and my daughter will be just like you two when she gets older.. oh i love the fabric shop i love decorating and i am finishing my degree in interior design i hope the next time i am in new york i can come by we are3 in the prossess of building a new summer home and would love to see what yall have to offer

Jill,

I hope you have time to read my post. I postes on Bethanny's and I always mention you. I love you and just love your relationship with your adorable, beautiful very educated daughter. Ali is gorgeous and seems like a great kid. YOu have done a great job. Love your family

God Bless!!

You are my favorite JAP...

I am addicted to your show; and sometimes have to watch it twice to decifer the accents! But I love NY and you girls speak your mind out there on the East Coast! Love you and Bethany; you both have the ability to rise above the drama. Simon is so out there....but so harmless you almost have to love him! As for Alex; OMG! She reminds me sooo much of my neighbor (also from Kansas!!) who just couldn't get enough information on how to be"in"! But Alex, too, is a sweet and harmless girl. Can't wait to get Bethany's cookbook, and also your book sounds great! How lucky you are to have the strong family base that you do! Very admirable! Thanks for the great entertainment! You girls do rock!!!!!

Jill....you have been my favotite "housewife" since the start but now I have to say I am VERY disappointed in the way you treated Bethanny.....She has been a good friend to you and the fact is you let "stupid", "moronic" Ramona cause you to talk about Bethanny behind her back about something that Ramona was doing herself (promoting her new skin line with "sample" gift bags. Do you really ever watch the show to see what happens when you're not there??? Honestly, if Kelly is on the show next year, I will not watch it!! I hope you realize how supportive a friend Bethenny is and pick your battles wisely!!!

Jill . . . I love how authentic you are.

You, Bethenny and the Duchess rock.

I must say that Jill is one of my favorites ((next to Bethanny)). They seem to actually have a genuine friendship which is great to see on a reality TV show.

The NYC Housewives is the best because not only is it about bringing people together and fostering relationships, but it's about being involved in community organizations and supporting charities. The bickering just improves ratings :)

Jill comes from money but rather than flash it around by talking about how great she is (i.e. Kelly) she actually does something meaningful with the cards she's been dealt through charities and the like. Keep up the good work!!

Hey Jill, I just love watching all of you ladies and think you all are fabulous! I have to say you and Bethenny are my favorites. You both are so real and down to earth. There's never any beating around the bush with the two of you. I was a little upset when you both got in to it at the charity event but proud you both were able to work it out. True friends are hard to come by, especially girlfriends. I think you are awesome and it's so obvious you LOVE your family and they mean the world to you. I Loved the episode with your mom and Bethenny.
I can't wait for next season...........

Jill-
I adore you and Bethenny! I think you are so witty and funny as well as compassionate! I also think you know how to stand up for yourself appropriately!

I am definitely a "Team Jill" person! Romona drives me crazy! What is wrong with her? She has no filter on her mouth and is insulting to everyone she knows even her friends now I understand why her and Kelly get along so well, they are both "all about themselves."

Anyway I just wanted to give you "kudos" for how wonderful you are! I love watching you!

Hi Jill,

I think you are incredible and the most grounded of the Housewives. I love that you are class act when dealing with tacky Ramona and her equally tacky and rude husband. You are fun to watch.

Hi, Jill. I would like to know where I can get a Team Jill t-shirt like yours. I love it! BTW my husband's name is Bobby, too.

Hi Jill, I think you are great. There have been a couple of moments when I felt you weren't right but overall you are a great woman. I do hope though after you watch this season's shows yourself you can have an open mind and realize that Bethanny wasn't the aggressor with Kelly. Kelly has honestly acted so childish and as usual Bethanny as has acted with class. Kelly won't let anyone finish a thought! She can dish out advice like she did with Ramona in telling her to ignore Simon and just walk away but that very same episode she can't take her own advice and forget it and decided to confront Bethanny. Then her attitude when she was late was so darn rude. After all she was the one that invited Bethanny so she could have apologized to Bethanny instead of saying "Too bad" in such a flippant way. As far as your charity event this is one of those times where I feel you were wrong and you let Ramona manipulate you into anger. In past events you didn't have a problem with Bethanny having a little space to "advertise" and yet in this one only after Ramona got your dander up you got furious with Bethanny and I fear for what is going to happen this last episode. After all Bethanny did help you plan this event and to allow her a tiny space and that's all it was, a tiny space behind the bar was pretty stingy of you. After all I thought Bethanny was your good friend and to be this petty about something so small was uncalled for. You have the whole building to yourself and more space than you could possibly use if you wanted to for contributors so why get so mad about that one small space? It was one of the smallest bars I've seen so it wasn't allot of space and Bethanny did help with the event so why get so mad? I'm sure you are better than that and will apologize to her as you should. She is really such a good friend to you so why ruin a good friendship over something like this especially when you haven't had a problem with it before. Don't let people like Ramona manipulate you. Ramona is a nut and to let her manipulate you like this is so unlike you. Bethanny is a class act and frankly Kelly doesn't hold a candle to her. You are so lucky to have Bethanny for a friend so appreciate it. You certainly don't need people like Kelly. All she will do is bring you down. Now in case youo haven't heard Kelly and Max were late because they were late getting high and you don't need to surround yourself with people like that. Hopefully Bravo will have some class itself and not invite Kelly back next year. She does nothing but bring the show down. As kooky as Ramona is, she isn't near as bad as Kelly and is a kick to have her on the show. After the way Ramona has treated you at times it was sad to see her let your friendship with Bethanny go on the brink. Stay true to yourself Jill and stay the classy person you are and admit when you are wrong and apologize when you need to. You will be loved so much more if you stay the person we all love.

Jill,

To another season...XOXOXOXO.

I am speechless with Alex and Simons place, I kept looking for the Pimp or Mae West to come walkin out. WOW !!!

And an FYI......there are many people who work hard and never get to the "American Dream". Hard work alone does not always achieve what you have in life. Old money does help in the equation of success and the "American Dream".

XOXOXOX

Jill, I am a loyal "Housewives" fan and have my pick from each season. You are definetly my number one! I am on dissability and am in the process of going back to work as a surgical technologist. I have a 16 year old girl that is an angel and a 18 year old boy that is a gentleman. You have inspired me so much and motivated me in so many ways that I wanted to personally thank you. Not only have I studied to retake my certification exam but I have also started the Oakdale chapter of the american cancer society and helped start the ladies auxillary in my church, but mostly I have gotten my kids involved! You are such an inspiration to me and I (who also have auburn hair) have never traveled that much but if I did would love to take you and your beautiful family with me and my kids to dinner if we ever make it to New York! If we dont a simple Thank you for your wonderful personality that has encouraged me to better myself and be more productive will have to do. My children and I have grown to love you as a person and I know GOD will truly bless you. I believe you are one of GOD'S angels and your daughter is training for her wings!

Jill, you are definitely my favorite Housewife! Love your style and 'keep on keeping on' attitude! So real!

READ THIS ONE!!!!

The only two truly honest caring people that have hearts are Jill and Bethany!! Seriously, we as viewers only see a fraction of their lifes, and what we see the other ladies are spoiled,un-caring, *itches!!! Kelly is honestly the most selfish person I have ever seen. I am not a wealthy woman but I work 50 hours a week to support my family, and I am happy with a "Dooney & Bourke" purse that I love, and use everyday! I understand that they spend money differntly then middle class people do. But Ramona and Kelly and the Countess are incredibly the biggest liars, and un-caring people I have ever seen!! All they care about are uno numero one!! Hello you are selfish, and really not nice people. Jill and Bethany are the only ones that are completely honest and being true to themselves!! I wish I had the opportunity to have the lifes they live. But they work hard and deserve it. I work hard too, but I am in a different situation. I am not jealous, but I do understand their situation and wish them the best in the future. I love your show. And anything that has to do with Jill and Bethany I am in completely!! You both are full of heart & soul. Love to you both!!

Hello Ms Jill

Your great on the show & Ginger. OMG have to have her., I have been looking for a dog that looks just like her!!

Jill
Love U and Bethany....

Jill... When the season first started you an bethenny were my fav's. Now Im seeing Bethenny is about the only one with any class on the show. You brag about how Bobby didnt want to by you big expensive jewelry because of the economy, so you buy a $16,000 purse instead. What planet are you on? Thats half a years wages for some. You're selfish and that showed no class on your part. You're not a very good friend to Bethenny, she takes up for you but you never return the favor. real friends would. don't you think?

I just wanted to say, you and Bethany should do a coaching series for women. You are both strong and successful women that inspire us to shoot for the stars. I adore you both!

Jill I just saw the preview, and was disappointed at how you turned on Bethenny and give into Ramona's drama. Bethenny has supported you from the beginning. Bethenny is the class act. Kelly I think is very superficial and has a learning disability. She totally does not recall anything she said to Bethhenny at the bar. Saying Bethenny attacked her, is she a true blond or what. Jill you complainning about the mercedes, come on,a and the $16,000 purse. There are people who can't afford food and water and you complain about you mercedes. You really changed since you been hanging with Kelly, since she is superficial too. I think Bethenny is the real thing, she doesn't get into the superficial thing.

Having become addicted to the houswife shows, I am partial to NY. HMMMM think its due to the fact Im a Long Islander? Sorry Simon we are the best.
Bravo should replace Kelly, Alex & Simon. Theres no personality there.
Ramona & Mario are pathetic but, they add drama to the show. Need more of that.
Jill & Bobby are Family. Bethany is Bethany

Jill you seem like such a great person and friend. You are truly a good role model and hard worker. I wish you and your family the best.

You are the housewife I admire the most. You are a remarkable woman who can fit in any environment. I hate how Jill treats you. Or anyone for that matter.

I really can not see the difference between Betheny's advertising her line through pictures and Ramona's gift bags full of her new line of skin care. Was Ramona allowing her jealousy to lead her into making that catty remark? It's not like we haven't seen that behavior frequently exhibited by both her and her husband. Why would you go on television exhibiting jealousy, judgementalness, rudeness that borders on cruelty, and a single minded arrogance while you are aware that your husband supports you with a substantial income that has been made through selling religious paraphenalia.Hey Ramona, we saw your husband, "Take your toys, and go home". Are you sure he doesn't have something in common with Simon? You know, like a touch of femininity, that blends well with an integrity, and a decent heart? I guess people who live in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones.Didn't your husband crash the skin care party for women at your home.Did anyone go off on him for interfering with the girls' "get together"? I'm sure you did for having the same nerve that Simon had for wanting to be included. Why don't you tell us about the fireworks?

Jill and Bethenny make the show. They are the best! The other ladies are quite full of themselves and should perhaps take a good look at their behaviors words and actions. But then again, I don't think any of them would get it.

As far as round one and two between Bethenny and Kelly, Kelly confirmed and re-confirmed her arrogance. Bethenny should have tripped Kelly on her way out the door.

Ramona and Mario make the hair on my neck stand straight up. They're like nails on a chaulkboard and extremely obnoxious.

Can't wait for next season!!!

Jill, I love you. I also think your daughter is so beautiful and I hope I can find a husband just like Bobby. You and Bethanny are my favorites. Sherry

Are these womens lives so boring and void of love that they would actually get together just to snap at each other. To me it is sad when women in their 40's put forth so much effort with these meaningless events like the tennis match. You clearly hate each other yet you take every chance you get to spend time with each other ,why?
Ramona why talk so much crap behind Jill's back only to play bff's when in the others presence. I dont understand how you all can be so fake yet pertend that youre these great people when you have to know in your hearts that your a**holes.

Jill... Don't change a thing! I love your attitude! You go girl!

Bethany is your true friend. Before you go off on her,you should look back and see if you okayed her putting her stuff on the bar wall. Ramona rejoiced that you were mad at Bethany! What happened to you? You were annoying to watch this time around!

YOU AND BETHANNY ARE BY FAR MY FAVORITES!

I think kelly is absolutely pathetic! Bethenny acted very maturely and Kelly looked stupid.

Jill:

You seem to be an honest, take no BS kind of woman and I ink it's great, that's what love to watch. I know things get editted here and clipped there, but it seems as thougth you and your family are "playing" who you really are and I respect that.
Bascially I tink your great, tought your mother was very wise and I just enjoy watching you and your family! Would love t meet you one day!
Keep up you hard work and I believe there will be a cure for your daughter and that one day she will no longer need to live in pain.

Hi Jill,

I just want to say that I love you! You and Bethenny are my favs on the show. I will be going to New York on May 16th and want to go to your fabric store. I hope I can find it. I hope you and Bethenny are still friends, you guys are really sweet.

Jill,
You and Bethany are a true team and fun to watch. Love her imitations of you! I understand your financial position, but think twice next season before you let them show your expenses. It's over the top in this economy. Keep up your great charity work!
