The Real Housewives of New York City
LuAnn de Lesseps

I'm not a big surfer, but as Bethenny invited me to come along with her (when invited it usually means they graciously invite you or they ask you to split the cost upfront) I thought it would be fun and it was a great time. I love sports in general and play a lot of tennis, love to swim and take long walks on the beach to keep in shape.

Ramona has the right to her opinion and I understand how she feels.

I think boarding school is great for girls who want to go. It is a family decision. Victoria chose the school herself and we were totally supportive. What people don't know is that we see her every weekend, as the school is so close to home. Ramona has the right to her opinion and I understand how she feels. Victoria is not a big fan of the city so for her, boarding school was a great option.

Rosie, Rosie, Rosie. What would we do without Rosie?! She had a much deserved holiday and I was amazed to see what great shape she was in. She's grown her hair long and I love that new look on her.

My husband never misses Victoria's competitions and we were both upset that she was called into the ring earlier than anticipated. This is just how the horse world works. It was not the best show for her, and she was disappointed with her horse when he refused the jump. My husband came right after she showed and was there to console her after a long day at the show.

I really liked the TableClothes that your nieces designed/created. Are they available for sale or how much are you interested in selling them for? I personally would love to have one as my husband and my young children still a lot. This seems like it would make my life so much easier! I am also the Office Manager for a dance and acting studio, these could be used for many things when we are painting as a group. I can think of at least 100 more types of companies that it would be very useful for! Creating something relativly high-end quality all the way down to lightweight paper that could be disposed of when the 5 year's ice cream birthday party is OVER! I think it is a fab idea!!! I would love to know where to buy or if you need to market it, I can certainly lend you my ideas.

Thanks! I think you guys are being so honest this season and I think it really helped improve some and others...well, let's just say Kelly is just not my favorite and Alex is getting a little higher up on my list of not so annoying. ;-)

I would like to know just what exactly LuAnn's husband's family did to contribute to the Statue of Liberty. According to last years show, she wants us to believe his family donated it to our country. But while researching the history, no where do I find his family name.

I agree.....Poor Rosie... the way she treated her housekeeper Rosie when she returned from her trip, was disgusting. I mean she says to the woman, she must be tired from jet lag and then in the same sentence is taking Rosie downstairs to the laundry room.

I would have liked to have seen Lu Ann do that.

I would also like to know how Rosie got sooooo thin??

Keep it up Rosie,you look GREAT!!!

Kudos to you for giving back to "The Hope Lodge."
My Mom, Anne Bounds, had a stem cell transplant @ Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1999 and afterwards stayed @ "The Hope Lodge" in Baltimore, Maryland. Mom died in 2000, but to this day, nine years later, we; my husband, Mike, my 3 sisters, our dad and I have very wonderful memories of "The Hope Lodge" and the friendships we made while Mom was there. To this day, Mike and
I still contribute to "The Lodge," as we like to call it. Mike is a tennis pro at a club in Baltimore and for 2 years for our annual tennis pro am, all of the money that was raised went to "The Lodge."
Please keep donating/volunteering to "The Lodge" for it does make a difference in lives, not just the patient, but the families of the patient.

As an avid fan of this show and all of the women for different reasons, it is so sad and frustrating to me to see the Countess, who is clearly an otherwise very well put together woman, become so immediately and innappropriately defensive when others point out her flaws. And how quickly she moves to point out the mistakes of others? Of course, she's human like anyone else, but I don't get the sense from watching her on this show that she really is as humble and selfless as she seemingly would expect others to be. She makes a big deal of being a Countess but says Bethany needs to get over it? She organizes a night at the Hope Lodge for cancer patients but calls it "her night"? I get the sense she's not quite self aware enough to admit that she does put herself in a category above others, to some extent and that's just incredibly frustrating for me to watch because I do see how much she has to offer as a philanthropist and role model.

The above Kathleen wrote precisely what I wanted to say regarding the previous episodes.... However this week's episode needs to be discussed!!! Seriously.. RUDE!!! Gee when all eyes aren't on you, Luann, you stomp your feet and leave. Ramona is clearly touched, but she is entitled to her opinion. It appeared as though the conversation was between her and Bethanny... not you and Ramona. You made it about you. You took away from the good of the charity. BTW... the "touch-up" comment you made to Bethanny was in terrible taste... I do think you should refer to and review a social etiquette book. Let Bethanny shine. It was her moment. Also, a true friend would listen and take to heart a concern expressed by a friend. Not belittle her feelings... This year you are too full of yourself... Start acting like the lady you profess yourself to be....

LuAnn,

I am truly dumbfounded. You are fixing dinner at Hope Lodge, you and Ramona are arguing over the most ridiculous topic in the world and are doing so in front of a woman who clearly is suffering the effects of chemo. You and the other women on the show should be ashamed of your behavior. Do not mistake confidence for selfishness.
