Oh Mercy,

I dunno. Television is television and this and many other shows are television at its worst.

This has no bearing on the beautiful housewives ( that term sure has changed). They are who they are, but, all the big egos, I know better attitude, parading around, yelling in public. Is there any chance of setting a good example? All of you, give it a whirl. Thanks.

Ramona, I just love you, smart and beautiful in and out. and you are so caring to Bethenny and Jill. I agress what you did. to let Bethenny and Jill talk...... I really like you and Alex and Sonja. your know how to have fun.

oh Ramona. you seem to be the only one grounded at all this season. Luanne seems to be hiding behind every person she clings onto every other episode, kelly still in lala land(just everyone seems to accept her for her now), alex is letting the drama affect her since she seems to truly feel for bethanny and as for jill my gooddd she seems to be the vicki(from housewives of orangecounty). Was the "connector" as she described herself and slowly shown shes just a mask she puts on everyday. She loses her closest friend on the show and tries to get everyone on her team because at the end of the day she knows she was in the wrong for making it a bigger deal than it actually was.---change of topic. I love your relationship with avery it reminds me so much of me and my mom. Im 22 and everyone thinks im 28 after they hear me speak. I'm so happy for you...your glowing this season. Its great how your still ramona with the much necessary sassy and very true comments but keep your way out of the drama, everyone else should too. becomes it comes down to bethanny and jill anyway.

june8111 Jill has so much,why did she put down virtually everything at your cosmetics showing? Out of one side of her mouth she says she's happy when her friends do well and out of the other side the jealousy comes flying out with the speed of a vipers tongue. She openly laughed and criticized the fashion show that Alex, Kelly and you were a part of. I love that you ,Alex and Bethany have become close. Even though it seems that Kelly is still somewhat under Jill's thumb AKA her rather mean text asking if she was still her friend. Just because she was helping out with the show.Good luck to you and yours.

Ramona,
I am wondering how you feel about LuAnn breaking up the make-up meeting you planned for B and J. Ohhh Dahhling, the car is waiting!!
D

I'm one of your biggest fans, Ramona! I get a kick out of you. Keep doing exactly what you're doing!

Ramona,

This new leaf takes time to grow. The look of compassion in your eyes when B was hurting outside the bachelor's party reveals your inner kindness.

I hope you can overcome the junk to be happy and kind and filter the meaness!

P.S. We are a lot alike! I am working on it, too!

Ramona,
I have been one of your biggest critics but It is
now apparent who you are. I appreciate the evolution of your story. I am now able to enjoy when you lash out at
people like Kelly about her breasts at the most inoppurtune time. Now I understand it is not coming from a place of nowhere. You are a survivor, Ramona. When all
is said and done, It is clear to me who the last one standing will be! Kudos!

Ramona you are real and an asset to the show.

NycHw is soo drama...All the ladies on the show claim that they are more mature and that whatever side of the fence that they are standing on is the right side...buut you are all hungry for drama...and its kind of sad...you say you're done...then be done and stop talking about it...you all portray yourselves as being so busy and so important...but some how you find the time to trash talk each other...when in reality...you guys are all the same...

I thought Alex was your new best friend, why would she ruin your party that way just to deliver HER message to Jill (I don't think it was about Betheney more about Alex's need to tell Jill Off! Funny today they showed a marathon from Season 1. Alex and Simon were happy to use Jill to get thier son into a good school, I guess friendship only lasts as long as you need someone.)

Ramona rocks!

While I still believe the things you said to B on the bridge were cruel, I have to say that this season you have become a friend that most of us would like to have. I just watched the clip of next week when you are talking to B about her father, and realized that you are alot like Alex,
as far as being a friend that doesn't want something in return. You just want to be friends and don't expect someone to keep score like Jill and the "countless" do. So, keep on being you, just learn to edit that mouth a little.

Ramona thank you for being couragous enough to share your childhood and your relationship with your dad on the show. I grew up in a similar environment. I think by doing that it has allowed others to understand your more. You do seem to be starting things fresh with so many things in your life and it is a good thing to see. You have a beautiful daughter and I know as a mom myself that it is important to have a strong relationship with your daughter. Kudos for you for realizing it is never too late to start things fresh and to let go of the past. Wish you much success and happiness in all you do.

HI Ramona,

can you tell me where I can get that nice chain you always wear

on the show its really very pretty.

thanks,
edna

Ramona,
I needed to ask you why in the world did you let your young daughter ride home alone in a cab in New York at night, after dark. That scene just broke my heart. And you did that knowing she was not happy going home alone just so you could go to a party! Can't understand that whole thing.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Peterson

Ramona,
I have probably been, since the beginning, one of your biggest detractors. I have never liked you because I thought you were rude, loud, and totally inappropriate. That being said, I am now one of your biggest fans. I realize that the show is edited for shock value so that the viewers don't always see the entire picture. I do like that you are renewing yourself. You seem calmer and more at peace with yourself nowdays. You've always seemed so combative but that seems to be gone. Thank you for letting us, the viewers, see that softer side of you and for showing us your heart.

ramona, i dont know if it's the haircut or making peace with your father, or whatever else you've been doing, but you seem so changed for the better! you seem to really have renewed your whole life! keep doing whatever you're doing to be a good person because it is working! i'm so happy to see you doing so well. i really respect your blunt honesty (even if it makes waves), your drive, your business sense and how great you are with your family and friends.
and i thought your walk in that fashion show was awesome. what courage you have! you put kelly (the supposed pro) to shame!

Ramona,

There was a great moment at the Gotham party when Jason was holding Bethenny, right after Jill's “congratulations.” The camera showed you just beaming with happiness for Bethenny. You can't fake that...it showed what was truly in your heart. Also, your scene with Avery was so touching and real that I actually cried a little along with you.

Sometimes as women we tend to judge each other harshly and these blogs are full of critical comments - many of them might even hit home a little. Lord knows I am guilty of judgment too!

However, today I just wanted to say: Ramona, you deserve the personal happiness you have found with Mario and Avery - and the professional success you have carved out for yourself. Though you'll never forget your troubled childhood, you have clearly found a way to embrace love in your life – and to genuinely wish it for others. I, for one, couldn't admire you more for that!

Ramona,

Just watched the last episode. Wanted to say how sweet your conversation was with Avery. Adorable.

Ro
I always liked you if i was sometimes ...surprised..by some of the things you say lol But now i adore you. The camera caught the look of compassion on your face when Jill FINALLY went up to Bethenny it was a peek into your soul and it showed kindness & empathy much nicer things to have than Jills diamonds.

I love this blog, Ramona! your love for your daughter and Bethany's friendship with Alex is very sweet and well written. NY housewives is my favorite cast out of all of the shows.

Ramona, you are a good person..Looney at times but I love a friend who keeps me on it's toes.

Don't let the Bullies take you to the dark side. Be true to yourself, family and God, those are the only ones you have to answer to.

RAMONA I AM SO ENJOYING YOU AND ALEX THIS SEASON....I CAN SEE YOU AS FRIENDS.I THINK YOU WERE GREAT IN THE BROOKLYN FASHION SHOW.AMAZING HOW JEALOUS/MEAN JILL CAN BE WHEN SHE IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT..I ALSO ADMIRE YOUR DAUGHTER SHE IS TRULY A LOVELY YOUNG LADY.I WILL ALWAYS REMEBER A CONVERSATION BETWEEN YOU/LUANN AS TO WHY YOU WOULD NEVER SEND YOUR CHILD AWAY TO SCHOOLL,YOU HAD HER TO BE CLOSE TO HER.......IT REALLY SHOWS ....BEST TO YOU AND FAMILY.

Good for you, sticking up for Bethenny. But, Ramona, seriously? Renewing vows with Mario? First, we have Vicky transparently aching to be Jill. Now, we have you mimicking Vicky's vow renewal gig? Yawn. Sometimes, the vapid housewives are pure escapism and indulgent trash tv viewing. Other times, the lack of originality is just plain borrrrrrrring. Time to turn the page and get to Jersey.

To Viewer Sherry D - Why did you mention you were a registered nurse in your post? Who cares? What did that have to do with asking where Ramona got her necklace?

Wanted to say that your daughter is sooo beautiful. I am glad you are keeping her away from the cameras....

Bethenny is blessed to have friends like you and Alex to watch her back. In life its not about the amount of friends you have but the quality friends you have.

Blessings to you and your family!!!

Ramona,
I am inadvertently giving your jewelry line a "plug". I am a casual viewer whose son is receiving his first holy communion this weekend. I am strapped for time to shop, so I decided to browse rosaries on amazon.com this morning. After viewing PAGES of products, one set caught my eye, and I purchased it. Lo and behold it was from True Faith Jewelry. I didn't realize at first that this was your line, but smiled as I checked out. Mario is right by veering and letting you have the last say. Great taste and I am ultimately happy that I chose this item. As for the show......continue to keep it real and stay true to yourself. Not many women your age could work the catwalk PERIOD! (let alone pull it off.)

Hi Ramona,
I like you and your husband Mario. I am so glad that Mario did not say sorry to Luann with Italian, instead he corrected her for her bad mouth which was true. Isn't that life is good when you have someone back. Love is so powerful that no evil can brake it. I see the strong love to Bethenny and Jason.

This was your best blog ever! You are sweet to Bethenny and had nice things to say about Kelly.

Ramona you need to stop being so critical of everyone. Think before you speak. You love to gossip way too much.

I find it very strange that soooo many of the comments are against Jill and for Betheney! Jill's fans are here, strong and for her 100%. This whole fued thing is not whole. No one saw Jill's pain when Betheney turned her back on her because the camera's were not rolling then. There are 5 stages to grief and anger. Jill and Betheney have not been in the same stage at the same time. I feel they can be friends again, BFF's, probably not since their lives will be in very different places. Jill is not the demon everyone is portraying her to be, and Ramona, if you are Jill's longest friend on the show start supporting her!

I think that you are a wonderful person! I don't think that you mean any harm when you speak your mind, I just think that you forget to filter sometimes before you speak. (i do that too at times) I think that you are honest, and caring and a true friend. Others on your show should follow the example.

Hi Ramona!
I am a registered nurse in upstate NY and I absolutely love the necklace you are wearing. Where can I purchase one, I am a huge fan :)

Ramona, I always watch for your tell-tale-twitches and then I know . . . . . HERE IT COMES!

We need to rename you "Samantha" (i.e., Bewitched).

Keep the magic!

Ramona, you get me going sometimes. BUT, I have to thank you for sticking up for Beth., I don't want her to lose her baby and Jill is only doing this because all eyes are watching her. Thanks again!

I got the impression that Bethenny was more upset with Jill walking away from the table then her congratulating her. Once Jill did that, Bethenny seamed to be over the whole Jill affair after that. I think the icing on the cake for Bethenny was when Jill tried to come over later after the initial snub of that night. They need to go their separate ways. Some relationships just can't be repaired and this seems to be one of them.

Even with all your craziness going on, I still think you are the most genuine housewife. You truly seemed so excited for Bethenny and Jason. Your love for your family seems to be the most important thing in your life and it shows every time you speak of Avery and Mario. I know you say inappropriate things, but we love you for it! What a boring show it would be if you were not on it!

Hello R-
While I cringed with your complete lack of self editing, it says a lot when the worst thing your TV girlfriends can say about you is that you’re “crazy”. At least you’re not a two-faced liar.

Honesty is not license to simply blurt out your thoughts and feelings. In fact, it requires a lot of self-control to edit one’s comments and this is a discipline you need to learn if only to set an example to your daughter. It does not make one insincere - it’s simply being conscientious of other peoples’ feelings and cognizant of your surroundings to do so.

About your puzzlement as to why Jill refused to “promptly” mend fences with B when she did not have this problem with you -- You and J were equal combatants while in J’s eyes, B was not. A season or 2 ago, you were very spot on when you described to B her relationship with J i.e. B was the recipient of J’s generosity (strings attached notwithstanding”) and you were not.

Also, whenever you and J fought, everyone else in the group wanted you 2 to kiss and make up and no one meddled. Watching Andy’s recent show, I applaud B for honestly saying she does not believe CL instigated the feud.

This we all know is true. But even factoring in the editing of the episodes, we can all see CL was certainly meddling in this feud and was clearly fueling J’s anger; practically called it “righteous.” but then again I can see why. She wanted the relationship B had with J, i.e. she wants J to take care of her the way she saw J did with B.

No surprise since that’s all she’s ever known as a woman, to be taken care of; which was why she married a man so much older than she.
There’s your answer.
Thank you
LoolooBru

Ramona, PLEASE work on thinking before you talk. It's not something people can just ignore and should accept. It is something you need to correct and work on. You repeatedly do it in the show and it is rude, hurtful, and disrespectful. A counselor may be able to help you with this.

Avery is beautiful! My mom is visiting me from out of town and has never seen the show until watching the latest episode. She kept exclaiming, "Look at the beautiful blonde daughter!!" in reference to Avery. And we both teared up when you shared with Avery how she has taught you about unconditional love. What a truly touching moment.

Ramona: could you please, for the love of God, stop saying the word "renewing"? It's getting old. You say it every 5 minutes of every episode.

Ramona, I agree with what you have written about the love between you and your daughter. I also have a daughter and can relate.

What is funny, is that you seem at times to be a loving, caring person, and then at other times you are soooo rude to friends. I think you really need to work on thinking before you speak, as you have hurt many cast members with your extreme rudeness. Try following Thumper's Rule: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

Ramona, thank you for showing how unselfish you are to be truly happy for Bethenny & Jason. I loved how genuine you were when you heard the great news and you were a true girlfriend - happy for her and letting anyone know the great news. Yes, there are times when the comments you make are not appropriate for the event (Kodak & Jill) but hopefully you realize your opinions are usually right on target but the timing can hurt someone very much. Please continue sharing your thoughts/opinions but please realize when/where the comments are appropriate.

You are such a funny little creature. I enjoy so much about you and find myself cringing so much when watching you. You love hard, fight for what you feel is right, and go loony bins over things that make you nuts.
You are starting to grow on me. Things are never boring when you are around. I would love to give you the advice of filtering some of the things you say, but then you wouldn't be you...

Ramona, you have impressed us all this season, sure you need to edit yourself at times...But I think in the end your intentions are good. I am glad to see that you are acting like the adult this season, and Jill, Luann, and Kelly seem to have regressed back to their tween years! Grow up! You are so right, there was a ton of jealousy on B' news. An engagement is an exciting time, yet they robbed her of her happiness. This showed their true colors as B said. True friends are truly happy for others happiness. If anything, we saw who is truly real and faux! I love your relationship with your daughter and glad that moment was captured on film. It made me like you more. As I've heard people say, moments like that make people understand that through the tough exterior there is a kind, loving, warm person!

Ramona,

You make me laugh. You better not change. You are who you are. Your daughter is beautiful. What a lovely young lady she is. I am so happy that she is not a snot. You can see in here eyes that she is truly a nice young lady. Just like her mom. Mario is also a good husband. He loves you just the way you are. Do not let LuAnn or Kelly change who you are. You are unique. I mean that in a very nice way.

Loved the scene with you and Avery - that was a sweet moment you shared with us!

Ramona, I love how out spoken you are. You never have to wonder what you're thinking because you just say it! I think you are a good person. You really care about Bethenny and Jill's friendship. You are truly being sincere and it shows. Jill is totally being ridiculous! You are so fun to watch!

Ramona, I think you are a good, passionate, and honest woman. You put yourself out there to be heard and even though you come across harsh sometimes, you seem to come from a good place. Thanks for being you.
