Amen to That

Mario talks about the "Countless Cougar" in action, and the useless bickering between the Housewives.

May 7, 2010

 

A couple of episodes have passed since the last time I blogged. Frankly I was getting tired of watching the train wreck of Jill, LuAnn and Kelly. I kept hoping that we could move on and get past all this useless fighting and Jillously. But it just keeps coming. This week we begin at Sonja’s party where LuAnn immediately begins to criticize Alex for the message she gave Jill. Of course as soon as she speaks her mind she waltzes off as there is no need to hear what Alex has to say since it does not matter to her.

Next we see Jill and Bobby arrive. Since I am in the jewelry business I always like to see what pieces the women are wearing. I thought LuAnn had the worst taste in jewelry - she arrived wearing the piece she has worn several times, that one looks like she has a clock around her neck like the guy on that TV show Flavor of Love. Leave it to Jill to trump her with what looked like a tarantula around her neck.

Bobby decides to confront Alex and extract an apology from her, citing it was not even her fight, but Bethenny's. Bobby, take off those tinted glasses and get a good look at your wife as she is the one who should be apologizing to everyone. At the very least you should try and tell her to keep her stupid thoughts to herself. In any case, Alex tries to talk to Jill and of course she is not in the mood because she does not have her notes and so the drama continues.

Next we see a touching scene between Ramona and Bethenny, who is going to visit her dying father. Ramona advises her to reach closure with her Dad. I am glad that Bethenny was able to have that opportunity, as Ramona went through the same experience with her father. Thank God they were both able to spend time with their fathers, because once a parent is gone you will never have another opportunity to reach out, and you'll only be left with regrets.

Now we get to see the Countless Cougar in action at Kelly's event. I thought she had a young French boyfriend as she had told us in an earlier episode. I guess she’s having too much fun and is playing the field instead. As for Kelly, she has now added "Yeaaa" to her "Hiiiii!" and of course "like" is her favorite word. Have you noticed that Jill is starting to do the "Hiiiii!" thing as well?!

So how tough are teenage daughters on their mothers? Avery knows what she likes and tells it the way she sees it, just like her mother. I always marvel at the way they interact. She is her mother's harshest critic. I guess it comes with being 15.

Best blog I have read! You hit the nail on the head with everything you said! Not only are you absolutely right you also say it in a highly entertaining manner which is fitting as some of the women (LuAnn and Jill) this season have been so ridiculous that it too has been highly entertaining and at some times frustrating to watch!
I wish you and Ramona many more happy years together! I think you are adorable as a couple and are lucky to have each other.

Wish you would drop the "countless" remarks. Have some class.

Last night i wathed where Kelly mad a ass out of herself! Beth got her day! Nobody belived her. Maybe they will now.

Brutally honest and right on the money about Jill, Mario!!

Hi Mario
I think Ramona is a hoot.I am somewhat concerned re the excess of drink-hope it is just the editing and not the reality.
Avery is a beautiful gem.She seems very bright and older than 15.She is so composed.
Congrats on the renewal of your vows.However I think Vicky on the OC had a better way of doing it. A full wedding,wedding gown and bacheloret party seem over the top.I don't think all that would happen if you didn't have a show to enhance. Either way blessings to you and yours

LOL!!! I love your blog, Mario. It's hilarious and so dead on. LuAnn should spend a day and listen to her comments, read her books, and listen to the lyrics of her song 'cause the way she's acting this year she got it dead on: money cat buy you class. ;)

Mario and Ramona don't make the best first impressions, especially because they were so closed off at the idea of Alex an Simon. I am not BASHING you Mario and Ramona, its hard and weird somtimes to accept someone so different from you, I get it and am guilty of it too, but boy when you are right you are right. You make gfrat points about Jill and Luann and the bitchy nonsense they bring. You are so on point about those women and how horrible they really are. I must say it is extremely sexy watching you in the first season taking care of your daughter. You seemed annoying at the tennis match but watching you with Avery................turns me on. Go Mario!

LOL! Right on Mario!

I love your blogs and your wife, Ramona, is great!!! Love her free spirit.

Isn't your last name Italian rather than Singer?

You are the best husband from any of the Housewives shows. My husband is one of your fans as well. We enjoy you and Ramona tremendously.

You need your own show. You're hysterical.

ohhhh... wondering what you thought of Ramona's Hooter's-Guy kiss??

classless cougar??

Mario - I also noticed Jill saying "My love" - isn't that a Countess thing???

Finally! Somebody said it all!!!!!!!! BRAVO

Mario; Very accurate Blog. Jilliously is even better than the Countless. And Flavor Flav even better. Ramona said her mother in law, your mother was Italian and drank a glass of wine a day to stay healthy. Please enlighten us on your blog about being Italian and/or what else. Thanks

Enjoy your blogs...love the way you get to the meat of things....Jill, Luann, and Kelly have really behaved badly this season. Congrats on the vow renewels.

You need a new photo on this blog.It does not do you justice

Mario, I loved your blog! You really tell it like it is, and you don't hold anything back. I hope you continue to blog, and I will look for you every week.

God bless you Mario, if only there were more people on the show who made as much sense as you. Jill is really showing her true colors this season and it is so disappointing. In her blogs on the other housewife shows she is so all knowing and introspective and now she is the drama starter. She should take her own advice, she is embarrassing herself.
And congrats on the marriage renewal! 17 years is something to be proud of in an age where people marry and divorce in a matter of months.

Amen Mario!!!!

Useless bickering is right. With a capital R.

Great Job on your blog!!!!! These girls would not survive in the real world. They should be very grateful that they have money because in the real world they would be chewed up and spit out by the working class woman. Jill, Kelly and Luann all stand with thier backs to each other against anyone eles. This time next year they won't even be speaking to each other!!!!LOL You can't speak your mind and walk off without any discussion.NOT HAPPENING!!!

I agree Mario!!! and w/ lisatheviewer,,y'all are sucha fab fam

Hey Mario,

You let Ramona be herself and not try to change or judge her. Kudos to you as you seem to know first hand how to have a happy marriage. Too bad more men aren't like you. I see Italian in you, and wonder if you are Italian and Jewish. If so, perfect combination. Whatever, you and Ramona are a good match.

Mario your blog was spot-on.

I personally loved the "countless" joke and if LuAnn had one ounce of humor she would have been able to laugh it off, but of course she has no sense of humor and very little class (even money can't buy it right?) so it was dragged on and on and on and on by her. You should have apologized to LuAnn if only to spare all of us viewers the agony over watching LuAnn bring this up all season every chance she got!

Except for Ramona's Brooklyn Bridge comment to Bethenny, she's truly been a good, true friend - she calls it like she sees it and is often spot-on (like last season when she said to Bethenny that Jill saw her as a project/helpless/felt sorry for Bethenny. It's neat to see the people who seem to be genuine and not petty gravitate towards each other as everyone has gotten to know each other more over the last few seasons. Say what you will about Simon's red pants and Alex's nude pics, they seem to be genuinely good, hard-working people. Same with Bethenny, and same with you and Ramona. Isn't it ironic that the people on this show that actually work for a living and didn't just go marry some rich old guy are the ones that have ended up being friends??

Best of luck to you and Ramona! :)

I'm glad I read your blog - you're much smarter in print than you are on TV. I'm also starting to like your wife, Ramona. She loves making scenes but I think that you and she are the only ones who truly understand how "real" this reality show gig is. Keep up the good work!

Good blog, very true!

These ladies all have to take a breath and stop being as crass and crude as Atlanta , OC and New Jersey.These were always the "classy" ladies.Now they're just the crazy ladies.Can we start all over again?Because I'm exhausted!!!

Great blog! You hit the nail on the head!!

Mario

Hopefully Bravo will get rid of Jill and Luann!! I truly enjoy your blogs!!

Mario, you do tell it like you see it don't you? I have to say that Ramona, while not always the perfect in how she expresses things, has been the best friend to Bethany this year. I also like how she has come to embrace Simon and Alex.

Ramona was so sweet and gracious to Bethany when she called on her way to the airport to see her Dad. She was so gentle with her but told her just how it was and to just accept things as they are. What great advice from a good friend. I am sure that this situation probably brought the two of them closer.

I felt Jill was out of line going off on Ramona for not calling her to let her know of B's father's passing. It seems that Jill made it all about her and not about Bethany. I felt really bad for Ramona and I felt she handled it very well. She didn't have to say anything at all to any of them. They should be happy that she did. I wonder if any of them other than Ramona and Alex reached out to Bethany? I guess we will find out as the season continues.

You and Ramona are so cute together and Avery is a reflection of the both of you. :) What a great family you are!

mario! I have grown to like you a lot this season. You tell it like it is and call it as you see it. you and I would get on very well because I am the same way. Ramona may be mean at times but at least she is honest and does not back stab anyone. Your comments about Jill and the countess were dead on. It would be priceless to see bobby cut up all her credit cards. Quite Frankly, Bobby needs to grow a back bone and he should be canonized for being married to jill. You and Ramons make a great couple. Also, Jill is clearly jealous of Ramona because Ramona is older yet looks much better. Jill should take notes from Ramona and spend more time at the gym and less time gossiping about people. Congratulations on the renewal of you and Ramona's wedding vows!

Funny Guy! Ramona is lucky... You see it and tell it like it is.... The Dramady continues...

I love your wife because of her honesty. Ramona, Bethenny and Alex are my favorite. Jill really does need a hobby, the countess is such a phoney and has no substance and the model, what can I say? She sounds and acts like a teenager. Her daughters are more mature than she is.
Wake up Jill, you are going to get yours. You have been way too mean and ugly. You should be ashamed and your mother should tell you off.

Amen Brother...

MARIO,

YOU ARE THE MAN!! Have you noticed, Jill is late posting her blogs. I guess she's tired of all the negative remarks. ummm seems to me like she can dish it, but can't take the criticism. I am glad to see that your wife stands up for herself and wish Alex would love a thing or two from her. Jill is a bully, your wife is a good person and I believe that she will only curse you out if need be. Most of the time on the show, it's needed and Ramona is the only one to have no problem speaking her mind in front of the other housewives. LOVE IT!!!

Mario,

YOU ARE THE MAN!!

Mario, you're terrible! Now I'm picturing LuAnn making all of her entrances yelling like Flavor Flav!! LOL!!!!!!!!

Clever, to the point, and always spot on about which way the RHNYC's Freak Flags are flying! Funny.

Mario, Love your wife and all her quirks! She and Alex are my FAV'S! Jill has many issues (jealous, backstabber, gossiper, etc) and the so called countess, what a joke...no class what so ever.

So thrilled you put LuAnn and Jill in their place. Your wife may be a little uncensored but she isn't a backstabber. I respect that greatly.

You are spot on!! I love your blogs and your delivery...so funny! Keep it up. :)

Mario,
You are right on the money with all of your comments! I couldn't possibly agree more!

Mario,
You of all people should talk. You are just like a catty female the way you go after Luann all the time. I know deep down inside you want her but how would you get read of your psycho wife? Granted Ramona adds something to the show with her
C R A Z I N E S S !!!! We would probably be bored without her. You on the other hand we could live without. You are so jealous that you don't have a title next to your name, that you can leave Luann alone. Your obession with her is weird. You are classless. You knowing hurt someone's feelings and it was a woman's feelings and you have no desire to apologize. For that I think you are a low life. With no class. Why don't you take your eyes off Luann and check out your daughter. I never saw a more miserable little girl in my life. Poor child.

MAN YOU ARE THE BEST Hubby, I love how you and Ramona defend each other to the death!! This is what makes your marriage. You both love and respect each other. (Poor Bobby, Jill bullys him like she does EVERYONE, who does she think she is, and Lu Ann is just sub grade, birds of a feather those 2 are).

Mario--Your blog is spot on!! You're right...Bobby needs to have a talk with HIS wife, Jill, and not Simon's wife. Jill is one of those MEAN GIRLS. You and Ramona are growing on me. Even though your wife is very outspoken, what she says is usually what everyone else is thinking but are afraid to say. She's a good mother..just look at Avery...what a nice girl.

Mario - Congratulations on 17 yrs of Marital bliss. Although Ramona may be a bit bipolar, she is very wise to try and keep out of all of the garbage involved with Jill.
Ramona is a real friend and proved it by trying to get Bethany & Jill back together, not like the countless classless Luann, who seems to rally in the fact that two good friends are separated. Only a person with extreem low self-estseem would take pleasure in two good friends having a disagreement. Keep your family close, love them and protect them. As far as Alex is concerned, I've always liked her. Her timing was way off and her delivery methodology was off, but it's time she let Jill know how much harm J has caused. J had nothing nice to say about Ramona in the fashion show nor were there any words of kindness at the opening of R's skin care line. What kind of friend is that? She does not know what being a friend is, only if it benefits her. I used to admire J, but her selfish, all about "ME,MYSELF & I attitude has come public. I hope the three of them (MM&I) realize the damage to others and herself (J) that has been caused. Money Can't Buy You Class - How appropriate for a tone-deaf, countless, classless, catty group of losers. God Bless Mario -

Your Blog is SPOT ON! and well writen! Thank you!

Mario, good for you and Ramona to have stayed together all these years.Marriage is hard work, you get out of it what you put into it.Be faithful, and if you can't be faithful be honest .Renew your vows ....wonderful!My 44 year anniversary is next month.Unbelievable!

Great blog. This season Jill is the Queen Bee and Lu Ann and Kelly flutter in her wake after the drama. I hope they, Jill, Lu Ann and Kelly, will reflect on this season and pull themselves out of this quagmire and let the other fight thier own battles. But I have to admit that this is the best season, yet.
