hey that was a great read . Thanks for the great post .Loved every part of it.

Jill appears to be a pain, but that attack about a tennis game was out of line.

MARIO,MARIO.....LET'S GET SERIOUS HERE.
I LOVE THE SHOW, IT IS GREAT ENTERTAINMENT,
BUT YOU TAKE YOURSELF A LITTLE TOO SERIOUSLY!!!!!

I HAVE A 43 YEAR OLD SON WHO IS NEUROLOGICALLY
IMPAIRED WHO STARTED PLAYING TENNIS AT THE AGE
OF 18 YRS. OLD......HE IS a division
CLASS A player and is fantastic!!!!
That opinion is not just mine but those
at the club you have always wanted to play
him or be his doubles partner.
Every Sunday morning he plays with a group
of Doctors who can't wait to partner with
Paul. We (my husband ) and I have always
been so proud of the way he handles himself,
whether he losses ( not very often ) or wins,
he is always respectful of his partners and
opponets, which in itself is a lesson for
all who play the game.

Enjoy the summer and I look forward to the
start of the new season and by the way, please
give Simon a break....he is a master of kindness
and respect; you could learn a lot from him.

Thank you for listening.......Patricia

Mario do not listen to any nay sayers! You are on the mark! You are funny and witty, just keep up the good work!

Your blogs are the best!

I can imagine that you are having the biggest laugh ever!

Mario and Ramona, get a real life...so fake!

Mario,
Sometimes you need to practice what you ADVISE YOUR WIFE TO DO AND and.......
JUST ZIP IT PLEASE

To quote Mario's observation about Simon: "But then again, you really don't care how foolish you look."

Listen to your own advice. You and Ramoana routinely look and act foolish, yet you think you are a class act. I can tell you that so far Silex have regularly acted with more class than you could ever hope to have.

Get a grip.

Wow. Jill never said she didn't want to play with your partner because she felt he wasn't good enough. She didn't trust you and I don't blame her. You rattle off at the mouth one time too many, from prevrious episodes. You may say what you think, but wearing your emotions on your sleeve to lash out at others is not mature. I am proud of Ramona for not punching you out, becasue I would have at least smacked you. It doesn't matter who planned what, the fact that she didnt' want to play is her own deal, not yours. And to take a stab at Bethanny exemplifies your immature behavior. I don't think Bethanny nor Jill were taking this tennis match seriously, which is why they invited Simon. If Jill is all about winning, why would she invite someone she isn't sure can even play. I am not a fan of Mario and don't know if I ever will be.

You make Ramona look like the sane one. No class, chum.

Ramona, you were the cutest and best dressed in the A=ListFashion Show last night. I don't agree with a lot of what you have to say on the show, but you did look good on the Runway.........much better than Bethany in those shorts.

OH good grief Mario and Ramona are two beautiful people. They say what's on their minds and they keep it real. I love these two on the show. All you haters keep hating I doubt they give a damn as they lounge around in their Hampton mansion and drive around in their 6 figure cars. Mario luv ya.

Waaaah! Baby want a bottle?

You make me laugh so hard! I've known "men" like you and they are such a riot. You are so busy putting others down to make yourself feel better but it just makes you look pathetic. And all the comments about the jewelry website are spot on. Put some serious cash into reworking that site. You and Ramona are made for each other. And the "Silex" thing? Give it up. Simon's "Marona", funny as hell.

misery loves company...you and ramona deserve each other

Mario, you and Ramona deserve each other. Both very low class and pathetic. Get a life!

Jill's apartment--she actually paid a decorator? No taste whatsoever.

Mario, Ramona, do yourselves a favor and drop the holier than thou attitude. Mario is brash, rude and uncouth. Ramona, you feel many are better than you and you are just as rude as your husband. Show some class, get a life and stop holding grudges. Holding on to a tennis match? Do neither one of you have anything better to do? No wonder you get along with Kelly so well, she feels she is above everyone else as well.

Mario - you pompous a**. Last season you were somewhat benign. This year we can only assume that your ego refused to allow Simon to get all the hubby attention so you are now making your mark! There has been much ado about Simon and Alex's desire for recognition and being associated with the "fabulous" crowd. Well buddy, you're right up there. Do you really believe anyone cares about you, your has-been career in tennis, or anything else of import to you? What a buffoon. If there's a third season, do us all a favor and bow out!

Mario.. you act like a woman.. ok so you are ranked in tennis, who cares no one ever heard of you until you became the other NYC housewife.. and you really do not treat women with any respect.

Mario, you were cool when you were more mysterious. Grow up, be a man, don't be a drama queen. I am embarassed for you in terms of your demeanor...so annoying!

Mario,

You and Ramona sell Christian jewelry, but you are NOT Christians...right?

Because your behavior is very un-Christian like.

What strikes me as funny about you and Ramona is how you two talk about everyone else's behavior and you are certainly no better.

The tennis match - Jill should have been allowed to pick her own partner. I wouldn't have wanted you to pick someone for me to play with either. If you wanted to do it all; you should have told Jill you and Ramona were playing with another friend and he needed a partner and ASkED her if she would like to join you. You seem to feel if someone doesn't want to do what you want them to THEY are wrong.

You seem to have the attitude of a spoiled brat.

Get over yourself.

Ms.Countess
Who do you think you are?
You married into it.
It's not like you grew up with this lifestyle.
Your American Indian.
You make me sick.

Jill you don't deserve everyhing you get.
Get a life.Do you really need a 16,000 purse?
You should help the needy with that kind of money.
The bag is UGLY

RAMONA...TWO WORDS....NO CLASS!!!

i love bethenny and jill .. and i think the others are really over -the-top .. can't wait to see the nj housewives ..lol

Mario- Shut up already. The way you act is totally unprofessional.

Mario,

ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grow up and let it go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mario and Ramona - what is really the problem? You don't havea enough to do???? The show is called Housewives not House husbands. You don't see Bobby trying to get in the camera...step aside and take a valium.

Alex and Simon may be a bit over the top, but Mario is both belligerent and ungentlemanly. He can't make intelligent arguments and so he resorts to personal attacks, tearing down his competitor with comments on lifestyle and dress. His reaction to the unexpected is to collapse into a fit like a child where he stoops to denigrating a woman (namely Jill) in public to make himself feel better. If I were Ramona, I would be mortified at his behavior. It was downright shameful. I felt embarrassed for them both. But money can't buy class, my friends.

Sometimes i wonder if everyone watches the same show, but then everyone has their own interpretations of people on the show. One thing I don't get is how people leave any positive comments for Ramona and Mario, they give themselves enough compliments on the show. I think that those two are the most competitive, egotistical, drama loving ones on the show. If you ask me Mario acts a little more feminine than Simon. So I think Ramonas issue with Simon is that he is more manly than her husband. It's like he's too much man for her.

The editors are making this show EXTREMELY boring by showing too much Mario and his tennis match talk. Did anyone find this story line interesting?!?!?!? He's a camera whore who's only shot on this show is to spar with Jill about the stupid tennis match. Please editors of the show, don't put Mario in any more episodes because i guarantee, ratings will go down. SNOOZE!!!

Pssst.....Mario..Man-up!

I was humored by you and Ramona's arrogance regarding your tennis ability. If you are serious come to Florida and I will find 80 year olds to whip your ass with better looking strokes.

I totally agree with the one viewer., both my husband and I are diabled, at super young ages, and you are worried about who is playing a tennis match. I do like the jewelery line, you and beth. seem to really keep it real. tell it like it is..slap that stupid kelly, she is a idiot. It should be THE REAL DRAMA QUEENS of NYC. Hey there is also a bunch of you guys living in the trailer park in town,too. ALL that money and drama in one city, lets get the OC wivies, to switch with the NYC's, and see what happens, ITs a ALL new wife swap hahaha. come on Ramona lets step it up a notch, you were rockin last season. keep it cool.

well you and Ramona are something else. both of you seem to have these alter egos - frightening!!!!!!!!
Ramona's face was so wound up it was twitching - and you looked like Moe from the three stooges
your website is as tacky as you both are, how can you comment on Jill when that is how you present yourselves. instead of 3500. on shoes maybe invest in some decent marketing and web design. hey I hear Alex is looking for work
LOL

why? I'm tired of submitting comment after comment and never gets posted.

Ramona- Mario is totally hottttt, lucky you!!!!!

P.S.
I totally agree with you on Jill's place. When I saw it I was like "What?!?!?"-- and they're both decorators???? How could that be???

Yuuuuuck! it gave me a headache (lol)

At least you're being honest. I think Jill needs to feel important and needs to let everyone know how fabulous she "is(?)"-- On the other hand Ramona knows she has it going on, and is comfortable in her own skin; She (R.) doesn't have to tell people something they already know, and Jill seems to be insecure that people might not know, so she proceeds to be loud, in voice, spending, her apartment, etc....

TEAM SINGERS!!!!

Cute as heck Mario but as soon as you suggested the doubles partner for Jill and she said no, the bad sportsmanship came out. Of course she should choose her own partner, and because she didn't want your choice does not make her necessarily distrustful of you. If she is, so be it - her issue. It just sees that you and your wife had bad feelings about it the whole time and whined first about "she doesn't trust us," "she's getting a Pro half my age," and finally "by her choosing Simon, she insulted us!" It seems to me, unless she did what you wanted, which was to choose the person you chose as a partner, your were against it. I have two children and your reaction screamed to me "It's not Fair!!!" Grow up.

Hey Mario-- I luve that they are now incorporating the husbands more now. I just think it's a little Ironic that Simon was on the show sooo much last year and was criticized endlessly for it-- don't you agree?

Admire Ramona, and the family support she recieves.

However, yes the Van.C's are a little weird, but I think at heart they are genuinly good people, who maybe aren't going about it the right way, but are trying to get ahead in life.

I think you were right to defend yourself with Jill, sometimes she can be too much, and she loves to be fabulous, althought I think, more than anything, she like Bethany, has a complex, whereas you and Ramona seem so confident and sure of yourselves--good job.

Maybe you could have reacted differently wih Jill, but she's no ordinary person and I think having the camera doesn't help. I think you did what you could, and even she admitted to starting that fight.

TEAM SINGERS!!! WOO-HOO!!!

This is my first blog. Ever!! I just had to comment. I like LuAnn. She does always try to act like a lady in public. Even when Ramona pissed her off, she was cooly upset. My favorite is Bethany, though. She has no cut cards!!! Keep keepin it real, girl!

Simon,

I understand why you have had enough of Jill's ego and need to create drama. She acts like such a drama queen and acted like a spoiled child over a tennis match.

Jill was actually mad that she wasn't greeted with open arms when she showed up two hours late, who does she think she is? She was also bothered that she didn't upset Ramona the way she had hoped. She is always complaing and if she smiled her face would crack.

I'm tired of her putting everyone else down and then bragging to no end about herself. Yuck!

You and Ramona have become my favorites, it seems you two have a great relationship and family. That is nice to see these days.

Although I do not like how Mario acted towards Jill, I still love the Singers. I feel your family is very real and relatable.

Mario,

Whatever your intentions regarding the tennis match with Jill, I was amazed at the poor sportsmanship demonstrated by both you and Ramona towards Simon. I expected better behavior from a polished athlete.

I agree with Tam, I think you have a thing for Jill, and I think she knows it! You can never cover up an attraction, although you can try by acting disproportionally hostile.

I think your relationship with Jill is super funny and I love watching you two together! It honestly makes me laugh out loud while I'm watching. You are both super cute :) And I loved watching the tennis match! You shouldn't get too down on Jill for picking Simon because that was SO funny watching him try to play tennis.

are you serious? You blogged about Jill's apartment?
This is just too funny.

Why did you keep pushing for the tennis match in the first place? It clearly wasn't what Jill had in mind and she was rightfully wary. Clearly, you had some agenda since you kept pushing to play the match (i.e., to get your face on TV, to shame Jill, to prove how much of a stud you think you are, etc.). You shouldn't have to work that hard to have fun. Just let it go next time.

There's no one on this show with real class. Bethenney is at least honest. The rest make me tired.

Ramona, seeing a preview for this week's episode when you host a get-together for you jewelry and skin care line, I saw your friend Joni, who seemed so familiar. I was wondering if if she has ever acted in Sex in the City? She looks so much like (at least to me) the painter with whom Samantha had a relationship for an episode or two. Just curious, although I might be crazy. (And if I remember correctly she was present at your tennis match in last week's episode as well).
Thanks, Kristina

First time I've ever posted on this type of blog. Tried to sign up for a name and it wouldn't let me, so o.k, this "Viewer" is a bit ashamed that I watch at all.

Yes, it is fascinating, I like Bethenny and Jill. They're hilarious and unpretentious. If they don't like somebody they say it and don't act holier-than-thou. After two seasons, it is obvious that there is rancor and that is profitable, but OMG.

Right now my sister has breast cancer, I just lost my Mom, my business, my husband lost his job, and I'm handicapped, but you... YOU didn't get to choose your doubles partners?! Jill was late?! Oh dear God.. the horror!

You two have health and wealth and THIS is what you do to get your jollies -- insult people, pick fights at parties, criticize decor, and sell "Christian" jewelry. That's precious!

Ramona, have an unspoken thought. As a matter of fact, you and Mario are both pretty tacky. And your criticism of Jill is ironic.

Mario, at first I wondered how you stayed married to Ramona, but then you opened your mouth. Really, look up hypocrite in the dictionary.

Shame on you Mario. Do you have anything nice to say?

Mario,

Thanks for the background information. You and Ramona should have just dropped trying to play with Jill, it is clear she needs to always have the upper hand. Anyway, I think you and Ramona are GREAT!

Mario,

Look...you are hot and so is your wife. Also, I think that you both have a seemingly decent marriage. However...it is quite obvious to me that you would love to bang Jill. Any why not? She has an adorable face, a rockin' bod, fun as all get out P.A. and is humble, to boot. Something you might want to incorporate. Thanks for all of the "tennis stats," though. Snoooze.

T

Ramona! You are great. I would love to hangout with you and Bethenny. I think you're very real, and down to earth, and I love the fact you're independant and are self-sufficient and not CO-dependant on someone else to make money for you to have the status of a Housewife. I love the relationship btwn you and Mario and your daughter it's refreshing that you don't let money run your life and don't flaunt it out like Jill or Luann. I watched the episode regarding the altercation btwn you and Luann at the Cancer Society event and you handled yourself very well,as oppose to Luann reacting the way she did even after you apologized. Some people with titles forget that they should still treat people with respect. Keep being you always!

Mario, are you really happy with yourself when you watch the show? Take some lessons from Bobby and learn to be a gentleman.

Wow - Do you feel better now that you got that off your chest? I thought you were just peeved over the tennis game, then you started in on Jill's apartment decor. Why in the world would you care about that? You sound like a bitter, catty, jealous old lady!

Everything and everybody is offensive to Ramona and Mario.
What people do and how they lead their lives is none of your business Ramona. And of all people you two shouldnt throw stones in a glass house.
You are so tightly wind up its ridiculous. Take a chill pill will ya?
Also, you whole "christian" store and way of life isnt fooling anyone. Real christian people dont go around saying how religious they are or profit from it.

Geez, don't be so rude and mean and then end with "All the best" You come off as a world-class bonehead.

If everyone you two have to consort with on the show is so horrible, why do you participate on the show? I would never subject myself to that kind of abuse and annoyance voluntarily, life is too short.

You and your wife come off as kind of crazy. I don't care how good you are to her; a real man would never treat a woman's friends or acquaintances the way you treated Jill at that party.

Mario,

One word for you... PATHETIC.

AT LEAST ALEX AND SIMON ARE NOT AS CRAZY AS YOU ARE RAMONA, THEY SEEM NICER

You come across this season like a pompous ass. Too bad. I thought you were just humoring Ramona. It is evident now that you are just as shallow and self absorbed. Lighten up.

Mario-- what a disapointment to learn that you are so mean. I really thought you were above all this.

oh mario, i think you and simon need a brodate in provincetown, ma

Ramona, I just wish you had called Kelly on the huge "dig" she made to you when she said "It's like if I were jealous of you. Why would I be jealous of you?" You are way too smart to have let that fool you. It was her saying you have nothing in your life that she would want. Actually, you have a LOT going in your life that she should be jealous of, but she is too busy telling herself that she's perfect, and that everyone else think's she's perfect too. How pathetically childish she is! Says "bad manners" upset her, and then behaves like she did toward Bethenny. Why is Kelly even on the show?

Ramona and Mario had no idea who Jill would be bringing in, yet they still committed to playing the game. I am at a lost as to why Jill created a "mountain out of a mole hill" and was willing to risk her relationship with Ramona to win. It is unfortunate that Jill devoted so much time towards "wrecking her relationship" with Ramona in an effort to win a game. Both Ramona and Mario were upfront with their expectations for the match.

I think Jill owes them a big apology for going for the juggler on this deal. The sad thing is, how do you make ammends with someone who wants to slaughter you in public? How could Ramona or Mario ever trust her again? I would be scared and proceed with caution if they want to have a relationship with her.

Mario you're attitude is a great comparison to how Alex and Simon's children behave!

Wow!!! Mario: "supposed to be a fun game". If it was going to be THAT he wouldnt have care of who Jill would play with, or wether she picked the venue or not, and wouldnt have taken the time to wright detail by detail of what happened. Even more what the hell do you care about Jill's Apartment, do you live there, or have you seen yours?

Boy, Mario, you're cattier than ANY of the women!

Just goes to show one that money can buy a great many materials things, but one thing is clear, it can't buy one class.

Mario and Ramona are great. The most direct, real and genuine on the show. Keep up the good work you to. These bloggers are the judgemental-critical people. Your lives are viewed through a microscope and they all actually believe that small window is who you are in your entirety. We love the way you and Ramona are.

Ramona...Ramona...Ramona... I love the heck out of your attitude about life, but the tennis match was actually just hysterical. Sure, you play better than Simon, but hey - we got to see how bad he was and that was humor enough. So hold your head up girl and laugh it off for what it was...Just too FUNNY!!!

Mario, you're cute but have no manners. How can you go off on women like that and expect to be called "respectable". That was insane!
Its just a tennis match. Get over it.

Mario, I'm stunned by how nasty and immature you are. Another poster put it best with "You're all like rats turning on each other in the cage." I actually thought you had more class and were a nice counterbalance to Ramona's frenetic, shallow cluelessness. Now, I see why you two are together. You're both childish and immature. I won't be patronizing your jewelry line, either.

Mario,
I love a man who stands by his woman.. You and Ramona make a great team and you both keep it Oh so Real... Keep shakin' those haters.. lol

Mario, why did Bravo add Kelly to the cast this season when it's obvious that YOU want to be 6th housewife (or 7th if you count Simon, though I actually find him to be far more tolerable than you, even in his speedos)!!!!

I couldn't agree more with the last post. You completely overreacted at the Page 6 party. I had a completely different image of you, and its like I saw a totally different person at that party. You acted like a jerk. No girl would want to be near you just listening to you talk to another woman like that.

Ramona!! I love the necklace you alwasy wear thats long and doubled...I tried to look it up online at your website but I cant seem to get to the site anymore. Please help me out I'd love to have your necklace

I thought your blog was fine until the paragraph regarding her redecorated apartment. What a classless, meanspirited paragraph to write. I really liked you until reading that. I really lost a lot of respect for you making such viscious statments.

In the Hamptons your going after a woman verbally on TV like that was unbecoming. You were way too rough on her, and Bobby should have stood up for someone speaking to his wife like that.

Again, I always liked you, but what a jerk ripping apart Jill and her husband making fun of their apartment. Get some class.

SO glad I read your blog before hitting the submit button for an order I was sending your way...I hate hypocrites & people who think they are more classy, real etc. (insert any word here) than anybody else. I still don't understand the whole "Alex didn't tell us she had nude pictures blah, blah blah" but you are perfectly happy watching your wife & her girlfriends' getting it on in front of your daughter at your pool in the Hampton's last season. It's perfectly OK to speak your mind but please, be a little more honest & less self-rightous while doing it!!

I think you have Simon beat in the creepiest catagory.

Your mocking tone about what Jill does with her time. Your strange facial expressions at the party when hurling insults at Jill. Frankly, you deserved that punch Jill threatened you with. You're a tennis pro, not a cancer specialist or a great artist in which to improve the quality of life for all. Get over yourself. You came off like the court jester of Real Housewives of NYC.

I do suppose with that display of doltish behavior, we will be seeing MORE OF YOU in future episodes. Wonder what you will do to top that little display childish antics?

We'll all stay tuned I'm sure. I hope the $$$ is worth any dignity that must have been in short supply already.

Mario-
Why must you be so petty and childish? It was ONLY a game. You and Jill took it way too seriously. I wonder how you react when you have to deal with REAL issues in life.
If anyone yelled at me and shushed me the way you did at Jill, he'd be kicked in the jewels! You don't see Simon freaking out. He treats people with respect. Get off their backs.
Grow up and chill out.

Mario,

Here's my take on recent episodes of RHONYC: Every week Alex and Simon take the high road while you and Ramona act childishly and inappropriately.

When the final credits have rolled and RHONYC is a a mere reality show memory, you will forever be known for your churlish behavior.

Hi Ramona & Mario! my name is amelia and i am 10 years old. why was your husband Mario so concerned about choosing jills partner?? why couldnt she just pick her own? My parents went to Villanova and are embarrassed to find out Mario went there because he acted like a little kid making a fool of himself.

Wow, the NYC house "husbands" seem to be coming out of the woodwork this season. Maybe it's time to give them their own show. Then this show could get back to it's original concept! BTW, Simon would definately carry the guys show.

Mario,

We don't tune in to see you or hear your thoughts. Are you looking to be the next housewife? Could you be looking for your own 15 minutes of fame. You and Ramona should get over yourselves. You're hardly experts on good taste, restraint or class. A gentleman would never attack a woman.

Mario Mario...A group of us tennis pros were watching your latest episode at our club after we were done teaching. Thanks for the laugh. Quit calling yourself a tennis pro you are a weekend warrior at best.

Mario, You and Ramona are so jealous and envious of people that seem to be happy and kind. You should watch your behavior and maybe you and Ramona can understand why many people don't like you.

Congratulations Mario. You just made yourself look worse. Stop while you're ahead.

YOU guys need to take a chill pill and get off Mario's case. Mario is the one that wanted to have a relaxed but real match with Jill, who had to make a joke out of the whole thing because she was inept at finding a good partner. Jill totally deserved the finger waving b/c she was rude and disrespectful when Mario had the best interests of everyone involved - just a good old game of tennis.

Mario, you are handsome and easy going, and it's obvious you don't take life too seriously, which is a breath of fresh air compared to the others.
