I think you being offended because Simon and Alex didn't share something personal with you and you take offense is absurd and by the way if Mario was ever a pro Ive seen high school kids who look better than he does. You people are much more important in your own mind than you really are. NORMAL people look at you people and laugh talk about phony people.

The problem with people like Cat (her comment below) and Ramona is they think they can insult, hurt someones feelings, put them down, try to make them feel small and they label it being honest.... I call it mean
spirited.

Ramona, I love your frankness..... I am native New Yorker and you have that New York edge. I live in Rhode Island, and people find me a little abrasive at times. I feel I am truthful, and dispite what many people say.... They all say they rather have the truth but many people fear it. you are one of my favorites!

Hi Ramona,
I don't know how you gals do it, but I am addicted to your show. I think this season your light shines through. Continue to be real, and don't let anyone get to you - like Simon and Alex, you're better than that and it comes through loud and clear. Don't feel like you have to defend yourself, just nod your head and walk away from them. It looks like they only get airtime when you indulge them.
By the way - I LOVED your neclaces that you wore on this last episode. It looks like you wore the same chain, just changed pendants? I would love to have one. Take care and Keep that positive energy flowing!!

Ramona~
I am sick and tired of you treating Alex and Simon so badly! So what if Simon likes to weara pastels and has feminine mannerisms? So what if Alex had nude pictures taken? And so what if they prefer to do everything together? Their lifestyle works for them and they beat to their own drum. I say good for them to live and think outside the box! People are losing their jobs and homes resulting in living in "tent communities" in certain states. Don't you have better things to do than harass people just because they're different? At least they're real. And bravo for Simon finallt calling you on your s--t, for once you were actually speechless!

Romona,

I love the necklace you've been wearing lately (the one you double up and wear with the cross. I can't tell if it is gold or silver, and what type of small beads are on it. Are they pearls? Diamonds? Where can I get one?

Are you serious when you say it is an honor to play tennis with Mario? Me thinks you think too highly of yourself and your husband!
And your trying too hard to make it seem like Jill is being petty to want and have her own partner. If she wants her own partner so be it...........can't wait to see who the real tennis player Jill gets.......I'll bet it is someone we all have read or heard about as opposed to your partner, who was never heard about until his wife became a cast member of Real Housewives New York!

Why is Mario being featured in the show????The Housewives of NYC!!!!!BRAVO if the show is to include the husbands( who must not have enought to do) I my stop watching....I enjoy the Ladies..Not crazy husbands

Hi Ramona, I'm liking YOU more this season. You seem to be fairly balanced with your handling of some of the situations going on, etc. It brought a tear to my eye to see you with your daughter shoe shopping. She is so beautiful. But I lost a lot of respect for Mario when he verbally attacked Jill. He could have tactfully and gracefully said "ok - if you feel more comfortable with someone else, that's fine, but let's agree on a date for all of us." That would have been fine. But he lost a lot of points for the verbal tantrum he unleashed on her in public. As far as Alex and Simon are concerned - smile, say "hi" and move on. You have proven that you can be friendly to others, even if you aren't "friends" with them.

I like you Romona. You are my favorite. I love your relationship with your husband and how dear you are to your daughter.

I think you guys (your family) look fantastic. And I can tell how much you all care for each other.

I like you and Mario. It would be better if you stopped getting involved with Jill. I don't think she likes you very much. I also think she provokes you in a way that is really destructive. I gather the tennis match went on. I am sorry to see it because the whole thing was a waste of your time and energy. Jill deliberately fanned the flames to create a "drama" she could be involved in. She likes attention and she is trying to get it on your backs. I like Jill, but I think where you are concerned, she is a user.

Mario was very inappropriate. It was offensive and inappropriate and completely unchivalrous. You have no right to call her on it, it was unmanly and hurtful to her husband. It's not fair. A fight was not right. Step down.

What's wrong with your husband??? He doesn't need to fight your fight. You are strong enough to watch yourself right? You two are made for each other.

Ramona, I am curious to know when did you graduated from FIT? and when did you work for Calvin Klein and in what division?

You and Mario are my favorite on the show. You clearly love each other and have a great relationship.

It was great to see Mario pulling Jill's chain, she actually started laughing for a change. They acted like bother and sister, it was funny to watch.

Once again, Simon couldn't leave well enough alone! Gosh, he is desperate to start something with you and get air time, so obvious.

You're comment was only that they could have told you what they were doing with Alex's photos two days after taking them to meet your friends.
Why Simon blew that out of proportion seemed very calculated, he could have just apologised and realised it bothered you that they seemed sneaky.

You were the one extending an olive branch and taking Kelly's advice, it was clear you were trying to be polite. I hope you keep ignoring the guy, can't imagine what it's like to be around him and listen to him drone on.

My friends and I obsessed with the show always wondered how Mario and you got along so flawlessly when you are very outspoken and unedited and he seemed so diplomatic. It was a huge "ah ha" moment watching Mario go after Jill like a rabid pitbull. WTF? Why does he even want to play with Jill? At last we see his true colors and realize that everybody acts different without camera's around. This time they happened to be filming.

On paper, I like everything about you. I think you have good morals, a wonderful family, great family business, smart, beautiful and independent. However, I think your tendency to speak before thinking is doing you in and is a bad reflections on Christians.
Be the best you can be Ramona, don't let the BS bring you down.

Ramona, I love your frankness..... I am native New Yorker and you have that New York edge. I live in Rhode Island, and people find me a little abrasive at times. I feel I am truthful, and dispite what many people say.... They all say they rather have the truth but many people fear it. you are one of my favorites!

Come on Ramona you know you lip kissed that woman, we all saw it. I'm sorry are there double standards for you, give Simon a break.

Ramona,
Last season I really didn't enjoy you on the show. But this season I am thinking you are my favorite. You and Mario have a good relationship. I was happy to learn a little more about your career. I had been wondering for several episodes. Don't waste your time on a friendship with Kelly. She is a troublemaker and her negative energy just comes full-force through the cable, into my tv, and into my living room. Looking forward to watching you the rest of the season!

I am a fan of yours and in your corner. I love the way you're outspoken and good-hearted. But you went sideways this week. I mean, to completely tell off Simon and Alex about the tabloid thing? I get where you're coming from-you felt a little deceived because S and A had a chance to tell you before the pics came out. But then you went for the jugular and it was unnecessary.
And then Mario got in Jill's face and attacked her for delaying the tennis match. I understand Mario's passion for the game but let it go. It's not a big deal. It made you and Mario look immature. You both were on a rampage.
I wish you had supported Bethenny a little more between her and Kelly. I know you're trying to be unbiased but it's clear who was in the right and who was in the wrong. It wouldn't surprise me if Bethenny feels a little betrayed after watching this week's episode and seeing how you failed to step up to the plate in her defense. I still love you Ramona!

Ramona,

Was Mario drunk at the Page Six party? Why did he attack Jill that way? I can't help but think that this whole tennis thing is your way to "one up" Jill since she & Luann beat you last year. Obviously this is a reality show and we only see a glimpse.

ok! Your husband went a bit nuts last night. It was really strange and uncomfortableto watch. I agree in the beginning Jill was turning something that was supposed to be fun into this huge competition. But wow your husband took it even further last night. Very unattractive. I was embarrassed for him.

Wow! Let me first say, I think you are great. And I was glad to see that you and Jill finally put your differences aside. However, your husband was out of line! He should not have approached Jill in that manner. It is fine to have disagreements but to actually cross the line and put someone down is just rude. He did not have to insult her to get his point across. What was his point anyway? He's upset because she is putting the tennis match off? That's hardly a valid reason for treating someone with such disrespect. Hopefully next week we see Mario apologize for his behavior.

Ramona I love your strong personality and your no BS ways. However, I think that sometimes you overeact on things and you need to learn that there is a time and a place for everything. It seems like all most evertime you see someone you have a bone to pick with them. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff. I also suggest that you stop trying to dress like a 20 yr. old. Your smart and good looking don't demean yourself by dressing the way you do. You can still be fashionable and not look trashy doing it.

OK Ramona, get a grip! Last season I remember thinking your husband was so nice, now I think he is a moron. Why is he on the show so much, is he a "wife" wannabe? He is rude, crude adn down right disrespcful and for soem unknown reason very full of himself. Obviously there is NO love between you 2, he likes to see himself and hear hisself talk crap.
Let's be honest here, if Jill were to come to you adn say that she has chosen a partner to aply you would have been balistic! The reason you called for this "re-match" was becayuse you lost. Leave Mario the martyr out of this, he is a piece of crap adn you both deserve each other
GO JILL!!!!!!!!!!!

I am confused... Why is youe husband in the show.. and why did he insult Jill??? The confrontation appeared staged..BRAVO I'm sure someone reads these Blogs. Get Mario off the show....

Im totally liking you this season i think your true self is coming out and your handling yourself much better than last season...I like people who tell it like it is
Kelly was rude at the charity meeting and was manic at the meeting she arranged with Bethenny she deserved whatever Bethenny dealt out to her...Kelly is a phoney and decided to befriend you merely because she plays games and wants to pit you all against eachother , get rid of her she doesnt bring anything to the show
she is a fame seeker and you can tell by the names she drops and how she acts...you and Bethenny are great friends and you need to stand behind your friend
as for Alex and Simon i understand where you are coming from but they are harmless

Get over yourself your so rude

Ramona,
I love that you are trying hard this year to be normal and not bug your eyes so much. I appreciate that you are trying to remain calm and not weird about on people. However, you are correct about Simon and Alex being creepy. You do need to learn to stop approaching them or even speaking with them. You can't have it both ways. If Mario wants to speak with them, let him. That doesn't mean you have to stand there and talk to them and then end up in a fight. We all know they are a wannabe and are out of their league. They are misfits and don't blend, they are very awkward. Leave them alone and stop giving them air time! Make your air time about you, your family and your charities, not them.

You talk about "energy" all the time. No one on the show gives off as much negative energy as you do. Although after last night's show I think Mario is out of his mind as well (or he had ALOT to drink). He was obnoxious with Jill. Alex and Simon are who they are and who are you to judge? They live THEIR lives, not yours. And they are never as rude and nasty as you are. I can't believe you can watch yourself on these shows and not cringe.....It's hard for me to watch you and I don't even know you..I can't imagine how your family feels.

Ramona, Im sorry but you need to set back and take a look at yourself, and hubby. You don't like Simon for the reason your saying on the show! Your always Jerking, your eyes are about to bug out! And most of all you act and dress like your 20's maybe you should think about some things.

Ramona- Stay away from Simon - Weirdo Alert - Everything about him is fake including the accent. My husband's comment was the best - Why isn't the guy at work? Especially now that his wife was FIRED!

While Ramona is complaining about Simon being femine, she should be worried about why her husaband wants to be so involved with the ladies. Yes, he is handsome, but young looking he is not. It was not his place to set up a tennis match, if no one asked him for his assitance. So like Simon, Mario has feminine ways and probably should shut his mouth all together before his secret comes out.

Ramona, You seem to really be in love with that amazon, Kelly. She left you standing there, ignoring you, when you showed up at her horse show, but you still came back for more. You must really look up to her or something is going on. Kelly is nothing but a pretentious creep. You seem to only want to be nice to people who think are better than you. That's peobably why you won't give Simon and Alex the time of day. You told Alex that you don't think she's honest, but do you really think Kelly is sincere? Wake up, Ramona, you act like a dizzy chick.Mario better watch out, I think you and Kelly will soon be lovers.

R-
OMG!!!! Your Mario is the new Simon!!!! Why is he picking a fight with Jill. Why is he even on the show. You had a problem with Simon being around, now it all Mario. PLEASE, LOVE YOU BUT COME ON.
d
xx

ramona, your eyes says it all. you dont even have to speak your expressions tell it all. you are right on about simon and alex they are phoney, but its a laugh if this man owns or even managers a hotel, why is he living with his family through this renovation in his home??

Ramona! Kelly is older than you!! You just gave her overinflated ego a bigger boost, shame on you. Bethenny is your friend- have her back. Kelly will surely stab you in yours! As for Simon & Alex- go get the wierdo's! What kind of MAN would go to a "girl's dinner"? NO MAN!!!
Will you knock LuAnn off her pedestal also? She's too much! You & Bethenny need to team up & drop them all!

WOW, so I just got home to watch the show and now I am tired and will post all my comments tommarrow but for now... I an convinced you are a bad, bad mom but now I see Mario is a bad, bad dad I feel soo so sorry for your daughter, what a crappy life she must live, I hope there is someone there for her ( other than the 2 of you ) and as for his profession as a tennis player, if he is so good why is it so important for him to play Jill and pick her teammate? Why does he assume her teammate as a famous player and act like he has never met them? It is so hard to believe that he plays tennis professionally maybe as a big hobbie. The 2 of you are so fake and you call out other people to distract from you. Well it seamed like a good idea but then the national tv comes in and shows you for the fakes you really are, have fun with the lie and good luck because you will need it.

Justin

Ramona, I think your "AWESOME" keep being real!! The more I watch you ...the more I like you!

Romona,
I think Simon put a mirror in front of your face during a conversation with you on the 3/31/09 show. He is so right. How can you have a centerfold for a friend and have disapproval for Alex. If you think posing nude to any degree is wrong then end your friendship with the centerfold or admit to the real reason you do not like Simon and Alex. It’s ok not to like everyone and/or to disapprove of something they do or the way they live their life. It’s even ok not to be a friend to them because of that. It’s ok not to speak to them because of that. But it’s not ok to attack them because of that. Last time I checked as long as someone is within the law, they have the right to be whom and what they want to be and to do what they want to do. If you want to be sure that someone measures up, request a resume from them before you invite them an event and introduce them to your other friends. Have you introduced Alex to your centerfold friend? Bottom line, you have to decide why you really do not like Simon and Alex. Ask yourself if who they are or what they do is legal, if it hurts someone or causes damage to the world. If it doesn’t then the issues are yours and work thru those issues or disassociate from them. If it does then turn them into the authorities. I doubt Alex or Simon think that her pictures are skeletons in the closet but they might. Remember everyone, including you, has bones rattling around behind the bi-fold doors.

Ramona, grow up. You are sooooo silly about issues that are none of your business. You run around in the shortest of skirts and then judge Alex? Why did she have to tell you about the pictures? Instead of being sympathetic you took on a holier-than-thou attitude. She looks and acts like a lady more than you do.
Stop being so ridiculous about Simon as it makes you look very small-minded. Just say hello and move on.

Ramona, I think that you are rude and try to portray yourself in a different light. You are just as rude as you say Alex and Simon are, they are "different" but that doesn't make you "better" ~ at least they do not go out of their way to insult people, they are a little more grounded than you will ever be. Try to be nice and practice being at least civil to those who don't measure up to you, after all, who could really measure up to you in every segment of the show you are the only one who constantly says "I, I, I" that's a little telling don't you think?

All iam gonna say is this: Before you are so concerned about alex and simon mind your own buisness and better watch your husbands roaming eye.This was embarrassing how he starred after the females on the last episotes while you where right sitting there.This is disrespctful to you.Take care of your own dirty carpet before you mind others.

Ramona,

You and Bethenny are by far my favorite of the housewives. I have to admit, at the start of the show i had some reservations, but as the show goes on we've all gotten to know you better. i think you're one of the most honest and down to earth of everyone and you're not afraid to tell it like it is. i respect that! also, i remember a few episodes ago you were talking about all these dating rules and such, I'm very interested to hear more about all of that!!! if you were to write more columns for cosmo or even write a book, i'd definitely be the first in line to buy it. i think you and mario are teh cutest couple and, from what i've seen on TV, have the closest and firm bond. it seems like you two are together because you genuinely make each other happy, not just because he can afford you all the nice things in life!! anyway, i love watching you. can't wait for next week's episode!

i love you your the best house wife i loved when you were in the hamptons walking your dog and you were mocking the countess i lmfao i wanted to cry

I just saw the 3/31/09 episode wherein Mario proved to the entire human race that he is indeed the 7th REAL HOUSEWIFE OF NEW YORK CITY (and not Simon)!!! And I thought he was the best husband in this series. I was surely mistaken. Like HUSBAND (Mario), like WIFE (Ramona)...a CONTROL FREAK! He kept on interrupting Jill, rudely hushed her just to shut her up, and made all these rude, weird (for a guy!) & inappropriate hand gestures. SOOOOO ILL-MANNERED (that's what you get for being married to somebody like Ramona). So disappointing! GOOD JOB JILL for not stooping down to his level. Mario (& Ramona) is an epitome of a mere 'nouveau riche'...no breeding, no class, one who just became rich...

Ramona...you need to look around you and realize there is a world outside of YOU! This NY show is horrible in comparison to OC! All of the women on this show are shallow, rude, lack manners, and have horrible people skills! Ya know...you need to remember...you cant take all the "things" you accumulate in this life to the next! It's how you treated and served others arounf you that will count! Gwt a life! You are pathetic!
And I happen to think Simon and his wife have a grat connection!!! It's great the way they go everywhere together!

Seriously, you and your husband are like the rudest couple ever. I mean, who cares if Simon is feminine? You think your husband is so macho? He picks on Jill for not playing tennis with him, yeah what a gentleman. And such a shame that you judge on Alex like that for having nude pictures. She have a great body and you don't, so I understand if you feel intimidated by her. You and Mario needs to take some manner class, or socialization class.. even my dog socialize better than you.

your out of control, but i love it bc i am too, and i dont know how to be fake either!! and people think im ridiculous too, so i looove watching you bc i just laugh and agree 100% !!! when jill and ur hubby were arguing i would have run away too!! hahah anyways, ive always loved u, but this week everyone else was too crazy and u just kept it real so i had to say hi & i hope u know ur the best! oh and the badgley mischka show too, AHHMAZING! im in fashion school right now and even a glimpse of their show is inspiring..

Ramona

I know how frustrating it is that Simon irks you so. I must tell you that from my standpoint, you have the upper hand because you are clearly above his element. I must caution you to avoid falling into his trap by responding to his attempts to egg you on and badger you. He is only trying to get a rise out of you and he appears to be succeeding based on your reactions. It may hurt but if you simply stand back and smile, grit your teeth, bite your tongue and do whatever you have to do but it will make you out to shine like the star you are. Pish posh! And, another thing, Can I run away with your husband? He is my dream beau!
