I really did not care for Jill's home renovation. It was too busy, too many things going on. It reminded me of the way Jill used to dress - too many bracelets, with earrings and rings that were too big, worn all at once. Less can be more. Each piece on its own was beautiful in her home, but when you walk into the room you get overwhelmed with too many patterns and ornate pieces. I agree with Bethenny, it had a Liberace look, and way too much gilt on the wall, ceilings, and furniture. It was overkill. The most important thing is that Jill loved it, and that is all that counts. She is the one who has to live in it and get the headache! This is no feature for Architectural Digest.

Jill turned the entire game into such an unpleasant scenario that Mario wanted to disinvite her.

The tennis match was one big joke to me and I was extremely disappointed with the way Jill handled everything. We have been getting along pretty well, but she really annoyed me with all of this. Firstly, Mario had asked me to play a doubles match with him and to choose a girlfriend to play against. Mario said he would find the pro that would best complement his ability. I thought of Jill first because she likes to play tennis, even though I have so many other girlfriends who would die for the chance to play with Mario on the court with me. Jill turned the entire game into such an unpleasant scenario that Mario wanted to disinvite her. This was always a game Mario had set up, not me and not Jill. Jill has a way of trying to switch things around to suit her needs. She was acting as though she had set up the game and Mario was the one encroaching. Not the case. To make matters worse, she then planned to bring a pro who is 20 years younger, world ranked on the regular circuit, and made millions on the tour!

I truly happen to be a person that likes everyone. I am a people person but since I started to watch the show I dislike Ramona and Mario in the worst way. They think they are so much better than others. I wish they see how dumb and rude they really are.

Ramona,

I was so disappointed that you did not flip out because Simon and Jill partnered up. I was ready to go get the popcorn! We thought that you would loose it, but you handled it so well. Job well done!!!!!!!!!

Ramona,

You and Mario need to get over yourselves. The tennis match should have been between Jill and LuAnne and your partner last season. That would have been a match to watch. Mario is a Pro what kind of match would that have been for Jill? She should have been able to pick her own partner I don't know why Mario made himself look like an a-- over this.

Also, to say that Jill was your best friend and that you would not have done this to your best friend. (Simon being her partner) Well I remember Kelly asking you if Jill were a good friend and after you pausing for quite a spell you came back with "No were not". So there you are.

With all this aside. I love you on the show you make it one of the reasons I watch. Can't wait for next season.

I can't believe how Ramona and Mario acted over a fake tennis match. It was sick. Neither one of them can play. I can't believe Mario is a professional player. He act like he is 2 going on 12. Mario get over yourself. Stop bringing it up, it's over. Jill doesn't care about the stupid match.

It's so funny that you Ramona state that bringing Simon just sucked the life right out of you and brought your level down. Wasn't it you and Mario that asked Simon if he and his wife wanted to take Jills place at the party that Mario was so rude, childish and insulting at to Jill?! Oops I forgot. That was just before he called you both hypocrites regarding the nude pictures due to that you are friends with and brought a Playmate to a party. I remember now Simon walked away. How hypocritical of you both again to now be mad that Jill brought him. Boy... some people.

I'm not sure where this goes, but it's a comment on Ramona and her belief that she has a background to develop and sell skincare products. I'm a physician, but not a dermatologist, I wouldn't go about trying to sell a skincare line. When did Ramona go to medical school or do a four year residency training in dermatology? I buy expensive skin care products, but I buy it from my Columbia trained dermatologist on the Upper East Side, Dr. Francis Iacobellis. He's been a dermatologist for thirty years or more so yes, I'll trust his skin care knowledge a little bit more than an exopthalmus eyed FIT graduate who believes she's a fashion specialist. It's actually a disgrace to the medical profession that she's putting out a line and people will buy her products.

And may I just say, Bethenny giving you advice? huh? Im sorry, who already runs a business? Who married a man with a business and made it better (not that it wasn't good, but you added your touch and made it better)?, who had her daughter start up her own side job at her father's business? YOU!!!

I think you now a thing or two about starting up a business-- wouldn't you agree?

I love that girl, but how she's telling YOU how to run a business-What?

I think, true and tru are both fine. She's trippin'. I luv her, but please, she needs to learn before she can teach. And maybe, there's a slight possibility that she may hae a good point, assumig that is true, she could have addressed that issue very differently. I think that's my biggest problem about her comment, was how it came out, not so much that she had an opinion, but that she tried telling you, when she should have kept it to asking you.

I have never seen so much sturm and drang over a tennis game. How do these people have spouses and children and work and homes and charity projects (and shopping and decorating and going from the city to the Hamptons) and still find the energy to create this much noise over a GAME? I would expect this behavior from The Real Teenagers of Great Neck North HS, but not middle aged adults. Puhhhhleeeeeze! Grow the frack up.

For someone who asked jill "Why can't it just be fun" you sure are taking it very seriously. If the game was meant to be fun, it should not have been an issue that Jill wanted to bring her own partner. You had the partner you wanted. It is not a matter of pro verses non pro. Jill is the way she is. You should have expected that once Mario got uber confrontational with her that she would react over the top. Both of you are great people. Get over yourselves and it will be able to show.

I dont know why you are only taking your frustration out on Jill over the tennis match, Bethany was also sitting on that coach and it was her idea for Jill to ask Simon in the first place and Jill went along with it. And they did succeed in getting a rise out of you...have you read your blog?? It sounds to me like a someone who is still holding on to it....

Messy

Ramona,

How is Jill able to cause such a mess over a tennis match and then blame you and Mario for the drama? I choose to look at the situation for what it really is, Jill was a complete drama queen that wanted to win at any cost.

When her plan fell through, she devised a new plan to insult and upset you. Why you are being blamed for her actions is beyond reason.

Jill has been very negative this year and seems to enjoy trashing everyone else and then bragging about herself. When you didn't react the way she planned, that actually upset her. That speaks volumes about her lack of character and mean spirit.

Of course, she had to say that she is better at tennis than you! She also insulted you because you don't spend $30,000 on a dress. She seems bitter and unhappy this year, she is always complaining and has a scowl on her face. What a pity.

Ramona-I love you. I think you and your family are awesum. I like to have role-models, and I don't (as you say) "discriminate". I think you are very intelligent, independent, and maybe, sometimes you say "it" the wrong way, but at least you're honest-- and I admire you.

However, on the issue between you and the Van C.'s-- I think you're taking it too personal. They did bring up a valid point, about the hypocracy that you would be anry with them about the photos when you kissed playboy females on the lips in front of your friends and family.

Has it occured to you that perhaps, that yes, you are right, they should have came to you if they had known. Assuming they did know, lets say, yes they should have came to you and at least made you aware of it. But, at the same time, maybe, because they saw your behavior on the past episodes, they didn't think you would get offended. What Im saying is: I think you're taking it as a personal attack, and in reality, I don't think that's how they meant it. I think you should realize, that yes, they are a little weird, but at the end of the day, are they truly evil people? I think not. Jesus didn't hang out with perfect people--He did not discriminate, He saw te good in people who are typically overlooked. xoxo

I hope Mario has a chance to calmly watch that scene between Jill and himself at the party sometime and how it was escalating into something very uncomfortable to view. Mario appeared very aggressive; even though he was smiling. I am quite sure that if your daughter was having a "fun argument" with a boy that much bigger than Mario was of Jill that Mario (or you) would be on the kid like lightening and would be lecturing your daughter to never allow that kind of verbal assault by a boy. That's how Mario looked. Threatening. Even though he was smiling. He simply would not allow that discussion to end. He's a big guy and may not be aware of his body presence. Or he was angry and trying to control it. Either way it might be worth a family tv nite discussion.

Ramona: I watch the show with my 15 year old daughter and we love you and Avery together; your relationship is much like ours. Although I do not really know you, I think you are a great mom and wife and friend. Jill is such a loud mouth phony who has made a career out of social climbing, while it seems you have worked hard to get what you have. I feel sorry for poor Bobby who has to put up with her whiny demands. And that apartment? Jill, since you say you are an expert at vocabulary, please look up refinement and taste. It is what you are lacking.

I am an outside viewer of the show, and could not believe the amount of attention an indivudal will need just to feel more important than others. Ramona, I belive that you like to put down others to make yourself feel better, and you probably have self esteem issues. Your husband, Mario, I believe should take ettiquette lessons from Luann so that he can talk to people in a correct manner.

04/13/2009 - 11:00am
I agree

Ramona,

I feel you have every right to be upset with Jill and the way she took an invitiation from Mario and turned it into such a drama.

It seems Jill has to win at any cost. She insulted Mario by questioning his integrity then invited a person she felt would upset you and Mario. There is no excuse for her behavior, it was mean spirited and shallow.

Jill made everyone wait 2 hours so she could ruin a tennis match she was invited to by your husband, who wouldn't be mad at her? That is such a normal reaction considering Jill trashed Kelly for being 30 minutes late last week. She is a hypocrite.

The heat Mario is taking seems unfair and misplaced. Jill could have been a good sport and accepted an invitation from Mario without creating all the drama. She went out of her way to turn something simple into a huge production all about herself.

I know my husband would not have been happy with her actions and wouldn't have put up with her over the top drama. I'm glad you didn't give her the reaction she craved.

I'm surprised Jill would think everyone would be so happy with her antics and greet her with open arms while 2 hours late. She seems way to self absorbed this year, such a shame.

Ramona, You have an amazing knack for criticizing your "friends" right to their faces and then looking like it is all their fault when they call you on it. I'm referring to your telling LuAnn her husband was twice her age....and then having the audacity to continue defending your position. I just watched the jewelry party at your condo---when you tried to criticize Jill to Bethenny, she defended her. You replied, "Oh you like her because she always likes the underdog". (or something like that) Referring, of course, to Bethenney being lower than Jill on the social food chain. Are you for real? Do you not realize how your comments speak VOLUMES about your pettiness? My husband, who is a tennis pro, is amazed that Mario would get so obsessed with a "Ladies 3.0 Match". You are perfect for each other.

I must say, you have made leaps of improvement on the way you handle yourself compared to last season. The way you reacted when yucky Simon sauntered (like a gay boy walking the prison yard BTW) onto the court, was SOOOOO impressive!!!! I am so glad you didn't give Jill, Bethenny, and anyone else who knew, what they wanted!!! Also, when you commented on how old the Countess' husband looked, I didn't think you were out-of-line, but when Luanne was so upset you did the "classy" thing, stepped up and apologized right off the bat. What was so "unclassy" was Luanne driving it into the ground!! She should have taken a hint from you. Now don't get me wrong, I love all the girls from NY, (Alex is last....) but I was blown away by those incidents. Keep it up!!! XOXO

The people commenting here are so obsessed with the people they like, that they fail to see both sides of the story.

Simon yelled at Ramona in public and was in her face; it was just so rude. Mario did the same thing. They were both wrong.

Jill made fun of Silex's house and was very rude about it, telling them it wasn't midtown Manhattan. Ramona gives her opinion about Jill's house. Most of the viewers would never live in a house that looked like that, its an opinion, so what.

Ramona makes too much of a deal of Simon; I don't understand why she is so repulsed by him. I think that Jill and Bethany asking him to play when she knew you disliked him was very cruel, it shows that you are not friends with either of them because they were intentionally trying to hurt you. But you shouldn't make it big deal of it, it was a game and now its over

If Jill is trying to make it appear she was the offended party, she must think we're all stupid. Jill SET UP Ramona, plain and simple! And, the setup started immediately after Jill was asked to play tennis with Mario. I believe those other posts saying Jill needs to win no matter what and, if she feels she will lose, she will hurt anyone in her way in trying to attain her goal. Now, that is immature and unacceptable behavior, especially from one who is constantly treating Bethenny like a little sister, as if Bethenny doesn't talk trash about everyone around her. The more I watch Bethenny talk at 100/mph, the more intense my migraine becomes.

You appear to be a genuinely nice person who just needs to tone it down a bit. As for the others, their true colors have already shone through and they're all catty, envious, jealous and extremely immature, especially with regards to their treatment of each other.

I like that Bethanny thought of Simon for Jill's partner. She is one of the few that looked at this the way it should have been looked at, as a "game". No one died here!! If this is the most important thing Ramona and Mario have to concern themselves with, then their wealthy, "have everything in life" is WAAAAY to boring. They really need to re-examine what is important. For goodness sake, at least someone was trying to have some fun. (Jill, Simon and Bethanny) And had it not been for Simon being ill, they would have whooped Mario and Ramona's butts. Then we would have all gotten to the reaction that Ramona was trying so hard to conceal.

I get why you and Mario feel the need to stand up for yourselves. You two have both accomplished enough in your own rites, and together, that amidst the other gals going off all the time on their accomplishments, sometimes you need to through your two cents in so that you are still in the mix. I am amazed at how understated you two are at your accomplishments compared to the other gals on the show. It is great entertainment watching everyone, no doubt. Can you be over the top with comments and reactions?, definately! But I think it is wonderful that a) you are in a poisition in life that you can say exactly what you think and feel and not have to be apologetic if you aren't hurting someone elses feelings, and b) are in the company of equally forthcoming characters and that you all are able to accept each other, and move through it. That to me says much more than the comments that are thrown down. I would love to be able to say what I am feeling and not be always so worried about how I would be perceived for speaking my mind. That comes with (forgive me) age and experience. And I think you two both display yourselves (albeit sometimes faltering) as extremely genuine.

I am also extremely impressed and happy to hear that you did have the tennis matched you originally had planned and that all went well.

My respects!

Ramona is the only one who not a hypocrite. If she does not like you, she lets you know it. That was a very mean-spirited thing for Bethenny and Jill to do with the tennis match. Bringing Simon into the equation was just mean but then again, none of them seem to like each other very much. LuAnn is not all that interesting to inner-city kids by the way. She needs to get over herself.

Ramona,

I wonder why you claim Jill is your friend, but you are so nasty to her at every opportunity you get. Also, I would NEVER let my husband speak to another woman in the manner which Mario spoke to Jill. That is just unacceptable behavior. You guys really need to start treating each other with more respect, or end the frienship!

Ramario - you both are frighteningly immature. Why a woman like Jill would waste another second on you is beyond me. Stop torturing us and leave the show.

I wish all you Housewives would quit trying to sell us your lame products. Is this a TV show or an infomercial?

Have you not noticed the state of the economy? Aren't the fans supporting your extravagant lifestyle enough already?

it's funny how jill can make fun of alex & simon's home but no one can share their opionions of hers. i think jill made a fool of herself w/ the whole tennis match...so what if mario wanted to show something that hes good at. all jill does is talk about all the great things she can do. maybe she should get a taste of her own medicine once in awhile!

I think that you took a friendly game of tennis WAAAY to seriously. You and Mario made it seem like the two of you were actually on a USTA tour. Besides, they almost beat you and Simon had the flu.
I agree with all of the previous posters-Lighten up!

Ramona,
You are great, keep up the attitude. Where can I get a Team Ramona shirt?? Jill is jealous of you. I hope there is not a tennis match next season. It's not fun to watch...if you win again Jill will say it doesn't matter. If she wins, she will have succeeded in "kicking your ass". What up w/that?? It's a no-win situation.
You & Bethenney make the show. Mario is the hottest hubby for sure! You have definitely beat Jill in that game.

Ramona, I love you and your husband. You guys are so sweet to each other. You guys are the hottest couple on his show too!

These bloggers should learn some class themselves. They are all hypocrites who acts out exactly what they criticize.

Please, please, please no more tennis!!!!!! I will watch a Grand Slam match or two, but I don't want to see you, Mario, Jill, Simon, or anyone else play tennis! It is more exciting to watch grass grow. It is obvious that Mario wants some airtime, but I'd rather watch him drive around in his sports car than play tennis!

After watching this show only briefly, all I can say is that if THIS is what being successful is like, I am GLAD that I am just a poor Kindergarten teacher who loves her job and has REAL friends. You all are evil!

For some reason, you and your husband continue to amaze me. Just when I think you both can't possibly be more pompous and arrogant, you prove me wrong.

Please do us all a favor and stop going on camera.

Too Funny

I thought it was a perfect match-up. You wanted to win, right ? Well you got what you wanted. Sometimes Ramona you take things too seriously and it was you running around saying it's just for fun, its just for fun! Well I thought it was fun and funny. If you really think about it, it made Simon look like a little kid whacking the ball back and forth. Stop being so uptight, yes it was certainly planned to get a rise out of you, and the way you looked was priceless, and it achieved it's goal, it raised your blood pressure several points. The game should have been girl on girl to begin with, so it just goes to show you should be careful what you wish for ! Good luck on the next re-match.

I thought it hilarious to see Simon show up at the court. It's all for fun. Good one Bethanny!

Romana, you and your husband need to lighten up and have some fun.

04/08/2009 - 7:05pm
Team Jill and proud of it!

And your opinion of Jill's apartment matters why? The first word out of your mouth on your blog was 'I' and that is the problem.

Life is too short. Smile and dance to the music.

Ramona, When it comes to Jill you shouldn't have anything to say. You admitted to Kelly (who is another sad story) that you and Jill are not friends. Why do you care about the home of someone who is not your friend? Just to be negative for the sake of being negative?
Also, you said the tennis match was supposed to be fun and Jill is making this big deal about it. So picking Simon was Jill's fun thing she did and you should get over it.
If you want someone to be your friend Ramona you need to be a friend to them. It was inappropriate for you to discuss the matter that irritated Luann at the home for people battling cancer. You should have been reflecting on how blessed you are with Mario and Avery. You and your family appear to be good health.
I just could not believe it when Kelly asked if you and Jill were friends and you said no, I was done with you. YOu won't always have good days with friends but they are still your friends. And now you have the nerve to talk about Jill and her husband's home.
But I was permanently done with you when it was revealed why you and Mario did not care for Simon and Alex. A nude photo caused all the fuss (or them informing you and Mario of a pending nude photo) and you were kissing the mouth of a playboy bunny? Yes Ramona, watch the tape, the mouth. You and Mario are hypocrites. I don't know if that is spelled correctly but you know what Simon and I mean. He called the two of you that and rightfully so.

Try to work on bening kind to more people other than your husband and daughter. You will see what it brings back to you...inside. I think you have a lovely family and home Ramona and all of you have something to be thankful to God for everyday.

If you knew that she was probaby going to bring a pro that was much younger than Mario then why did you make the comment that you feel it would be dis-respectful?

Then when her pro didn't come, you felt it was dis-respectful that she brought Simon. In the end I think Jill pretty much said "Hey it's supposed to be fun so let's have fun" therefore she brought Simon to make it interesting

I happen to like Ramona and Mario. I think Ramona is a loose canon, but good at heart and I think Mario is a funny and easygoing guy. Sure, they have their faults but basically are decent people and make a great couple.

That's so nice that you all can stop what you are doing in the middle of a week day to play an outrageously obnoxious tennis match and no one has to worry about work? If the tennis match was such a waste of your time - how about taking the money you all laid out to reserve the courts and give it to a family who can barely put food on the table because they LOST their jobs.

Now THAT would have been more impressive than darling Mario's tennis skills

Ramona:

I think you have great qualities. I think the other housewives have great qualities as well. We all have qualities that make us unique and special, and qualities that make us "human".

Try to remember, that just as you are operating on what you like, others are doing the same too. No one has to clear their thoughts, or actions with you nor do you have to clear your thoughts or actions with anyone.

It is so easy to judge, put down, and annihilate. Remember, everything ALWAYS comes full circle. Be the person you want to see full circle and if you choose not to, don't complain about the outcome.

I would like to see you focus more on your business and your entrepreneurial spirit,, those things that make you unique and special vs. attacking others for being what you are, human.

I'm sorry but I thought the match was funny. Even though Simon wasn't so great, he was amusing. And it shouldn't always be about winning. Didn't your mother ever tell you that? If you would've lightened up, I don't think it would've seemed so bad for you.

I think Mario and yourself just wanted to have a match with Jill because she and Luann beat you last year. So, you wanted to bring Mario (who you seem to think is the greatest tennis player in the world) in to beat Jill. I think you were more concerned about winning than Jill. From what we have seen of Mario's tennis on TV he mostly just does a back hand slice and is kind of a hacker at that. Also, what business is it of your's if Alex's nude photos from ages ago were going to be published?

Lighten up, its only a tennis match... but I thinks its funny how you said that you were hurt and that you thought you and Jill were close friend, when a couple episodes ago Kelly asked if you two were close and you were so quick to reply not really!
