Season 3
Season 2
Season 1
This episode finds us winding down the trip of a lifetime to Morocco and although we had a few bumps in the tareek (road), the trip ended on a really positive note. I was glad that all the girls had a good time and that we left Morocco better friends than when we arrived.
I was hoping that Jill and Ramona would leave their fight back in New York City and not bring it Morocco. After Jill and Ramona went to their respective corners of the riad, I thought I'd see how Ramona was doing because I'd already spoken with Jill and she seemed pretty upset by the whole debacle. Ramona seemed receptive to a glass of pinot grigiot, and we most likely would have had a nice conversation had Alex not inserted herself between Ramona and the glass of vino I was trying to give her! I decided that the best option was to pour myself a glass of wine and leave Ramona to her feelings.
I don't think I've seen sexier women than those Moroccan belly dancers. They really know how to shake it! I thought that overall the ladies had a great time. Ramona's tipping the dancers like they were strippers may not have been such a great idea. I loved Sonja's choice of restaurants!
Unfortunately, I missed the tour because I was sore from my camel ride. Mustapha is a gem, and I was impressed with his knowledge of the palace and how male/female relationships worked a century ago and how they work today in Morocco. Jill was definitely inspired by the tapestries, which is understandable since she works in the fabric business. I'm sure Jill came away with so many great ideas from the tour.
I should have known something was up when I heard the stampede down the stairs while we getting our henna tattoos. It was like being ambushed by an angry elephant! In my opinion, she was way more worked up than the situation warranted and she was provoking an argument rather than expressing her emotions. The scene where Kelly calms Alex down by shushing her and making her close her eyes is destined to become a Housewives classic!
While Alex was freaking out, Ramona and Sonja were having a good time scoping out the caftans. That should show Alex that Ramona can take care of herself and that she's able to move on from upset to mischief within a short time span.
I am from the UK but live in Switzerland and we are just getting season 4 on TV. I don't normally do this type of thing but as I am sitting here watching I just had say something. You are coming across really badly. You seem to have no manners (or class!!) and on screen you appear to be nothing but a bully. You seem full of yourself and to be honest (more in this season than the last) I am cringing watching you. You talk all the time of class but you don't practice what you preach. Your interpretation of class is very different to what I was taught whilst growing up. I wonder if the producers of the show are cutting it to make you look bad, who knows. It does seem like it has been set up in all 4 seasons that that you bang on and on about class yet you come across on screen as having very little. Having class is more that just saying "darling" every 5 minutes but more about having good manners whilst treating others the way you would like to be treated. I am sure in real life you are a very nice person but I suppose doing reality TV series is more about good TV than what you are really like.
I was a fan but after the way you treated Alex at the cafe, I think you are rude and full of yourself. At no time were you attacked by her, you need to learn to listen that is why we have ears.
LuAnn - what does your book on 'class' say about people who continuously interrupt someone who is trying to talk? All you women do is fight...Bravo needs to find women who have class and get along with one another .....you DO NOT fit in that category!
I felt like you could have heard Alex out. I thought you were being very mean to her. I think that you do tend to ALWAYS take jill's side but you wont like anybody else take their friends side..... You say you arent on anyones side but i dont think that true. I think you could be more understanding instead of attacking Alex.
Luann,
You are so free and awesome this season. Keep going with your witty comments. It's very entertaining and keeps the show real! Others are passing judgment, but we all know in the real world sarcasm helps maintain sanity amongst friends. Go Luann!.....Herman Munster shoes...I can't stop laughing!
Let Jill handle her own relationships, drama! I think I'm having a heart attack! Really, over Ramona! Remember there are two sides to a story, before you jump in - listen to both first, the truth is somewhere in between!
Alex was dramatic yes.. however you were just plain RUDE to Ramona Alex and you say catty things behind peoples backs then to there face your just plain rude..... Like with Alex and comment on her shoes ect God if it werent for Alex and Ramona I would have quit watching when Bethany left also alot your fault the Bethany and Jill things geeesh read your own book already!
Hi Luann, I love the show. I would love more information on Morocco, when did you stay and the tours all you girls did. I am planning a trip to Morocco next year.
Thank you,
Illiam,
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Okay so the previews of this week's show when you accuse Alex of coming after you in her Herman Munster shoes...hysterical! I fell out. You are my absolute fav because you don't seem to take any of the madness too seriously. Good for you. It's reality tv!
I think you should have handled the situation with Alex differently. You do come off as passive-agressive and condescending. Many of Jill and Ramona's problems to this day stem from the fact that you stymied Jill's attempt to make up with Bethenny last season and Jill is wrongly blaming Ramona for it when she should blame herself and you for meddling. If Alex wants to pull you aside to discuss the issue, then you should have agreed to do so when you'd finished with your tattoo. Ironically, how is your refusal to stop the tattooing session to address Alex's concerns any different from Ramona, Alex, Bethenny and Sonya's refusal to interrupt their massage when Jill made her dramatic entrance at the island last season? You merely repeated that behavior, so you know longer have the right to find fault with any of them for their actions that day without looking like a complete hypocrite.
Can not believe you actually said you did not go into the room with teh intention of scolding Ramona. Were you able to keep a straight face when you typed that? It is beyond obvious from your look and tone that you were about tto repremand her for her fight with Jill. I think you seem like you could be a nice fun lady if you could stop being so darn pretentious and hypocritical. Get over yourself Darrrrrrling!
Luann I enjoy you on this show. I think you are raising you children well in the money driven society of the Hamptons and NYC. I am glad you are enjoying this new season of your life. We all deserve happiness. I think that all the women on the show bring something different to the table. You have always been the calm one, the one who doesn't get involved in the on going ruckus. However, this season it seems that you might be sticking your nose in everyone's business. This is not an attractive trait. You often come off condesending and haughty and when someone calls you on it, you cut them off without even stopping to considering that they might be right. We all want to be perfect but it's not possible all the time. Even you make mistakes and must own up to them. Don't set an example to your kids that they can't own up to your perfection. It sets them up for failure and heartaches. Admit when you're wrong and be gracious about it. We are all just human.
Hi Luann. Just wanted to bring a little awareness about the cobra snake handler and his "trick" of putting his tongue into the snakes mouth. Did you know it is a common practice there to catch the cobras, and gruesomely remove their fangs, all for the sake of the rich tourists and the money it generates. The snake is essentially dying the moment the fangs are removed. It can no longer eat or survive without them. The clear liquid that was shown was indeed venom, which may be bad news for a human but is at that point useless to the snakes survival. I know there are many different customs all over the world. Some may consider some of the things we do here in the US gruesome, but awareness is key in choosing what practices we may be inadvertently supporting. Please know I am not at all bashing you. I am sure you, as probably many others were completely unaware of this. I just thought it to be a good opportunity to shed some light. I think each of you from the cast are bright, courageous, and full of zest for life. And that is a beautiful thing. Wishing you all the best.
"Miss Manners" needs to send you a refresher course! You are not the elected arbiter of what is and is not proper. It would seem that a gracious "Hostess" ( Of which there was supposed to be two) should be sure her guest know what time dinner was to be. You should have consulted with s
Sonya about schedules. Assuming because the girls had some food sent to their rooms, that they weren't having dinner was a hostess error. You and Kelly need to let the drama play itself out to a conclusion. Sometimes a good air clearing is in order. You weren't part of it ..... stay out of it! QUIT TALKING ABOUT the other girls! You are sowing seeds of discord all the time. Your stated concern for Ramona's marriage seemed a little fake. You still resent her asking about your ex's age! Cool your jets and quit being such a Royal Pain Countess!
A truly gracious hostess would allow people privacy when they are upset, grant a private audience with those who wish to speak privately, and never make guests feel chastised for being late.
Luann I just don't know who on earth you think you are??? Do you really look at yourself and see the way you act? You have the WORST manners and you actually think people should follow your lead? You act like you are the Queen of Sheba and I just WISH someone could get in a word edgewise to knock you off your damn camel and shut you up for once! You have become the villain this season and I can't stand to watch you flip your hair and act so superior. You are making me turn off the show for good......so sick of you.
LuAnn,
Take your own advice.....STAY OUT OF IT!! You are in everybody's business whenever possible, you talk behind their backs "in a classy way" of course And you stir up trouble whenever possible. Nothing like having a "Countess" as your friend....so pathetic.
Kelly was downright adorable and right on target the whole time. It would be nice if you could teach Sonya how to be a lady starting with wearing underwear. Really! Does she think she is sexy being an exhibitionist? Jill is her natural self and lovable as is, she should not be in the same class as Ramona. Hopefully she will quit lowering herself with ongoing fights. Alex needs to take some more drama classes so she can learn when and when not to create different scenes. I don't see her winning an Academy Award anytime soon. Hurray for Cindy taking a break from the twins, I am sure it was hard for her to do! As for Ramona, I will be watching for her appearance on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in the near future. You above all LuAnn deserve a medal for all you accomplished in spite of some spoiled ungrateful guests during the trip. You coordinated a great adventure for everyone and handled situations as they came up with a lot of class.
LuAnn,
You should have just let Alex come back and speak to you alone. You and Kelly ganged up on her, bullied her, and never let her express why she was upset. I believe that you think you are above Alex, you always speak to her in a very condescending way. In addition, you gossip and stir up trouble just as much as any one else. Get over yourself.
LuAnn
Who makes that beautiful white one-piece suit you wore to dinner in Morocco? It is gorgeous and I have to have one!! Love it.
I was so surprised at your lack of hostessing skills. A good hostess makes ALL guests feel welcome, and always informs guests of mealtimes in person. I'm surprised you didn't know that.....
LuAnn
A truly gracious person? Not so sure. You often get in the middle of things, where you do not belong and you make things so much worse. You are extremely judgemental which is not very becoming. A truly good and intelligent person does not constantly have to correct and remind those around them.
I am really surprised you are also joining in with Jill with all that back stabbing.
I think LuAnn is always taking Jill's side. I hate her behavior on the previous season and this season. LuAnn acts as if she is better than the other ladies and knows proper grammar and etiquette more than anyone. She comes off like a jerk.
Hi LuAnn,
It was a pleasure watching the whole Morrocan experience. You are very focused on the important aspects of a trip where people may feel out of their particular comfort zones. You are gracious, elegant and understated.
As a mother I feel you are truly aware of setting a good example for your
children no matter what the situation is. Nothing is more important. I too
would love to take a trip with you. I also have manners and class. Keep setting the standard high and others MIGHT follow.

While I think Alex was overly dramatic in how she approached the situation telling her to climb into the cabinet she came from was not only rude it was unncessary. I feel like this season you think you are above everyone else. When you have KELLY backing you up you might want to rethink the situation. Even Cindy thought you two were being a bit ridiculous. You were great last season when you were more calm and stayed out of everyones business. Now you can't keep away from it.
LuAnn you have got to be my favorite housewife! You are wonderful! You planned a great trip and there were a few of the ladies that showed respect but others were horrible but you still held your head high and showed them a good time! You inspire me to be better. Thank you.
Luann, it's obvious that you loathe Alex. Sure she's socially awkward at times, but I wonder if your clear distaste for her would be tempered if she was on your social level. And if one of the trip's co-hosts didn't know about dinner plans, don't you think it's ostensible that there was a communication gap somewhere??
LuAnn, you are the one that took sides on the night getting tattoos. Alex was being so gracious and polite, you on the other hand, was not a nice host at all. You are the one attacks your guests! And actually, you have no business between Ramona and Jill either!
I love it when you said, this is "Mor.Oc.Co.". I thought it was hilarious. LuAnn, you look stunning and extremely healthy and happy. You are so beautiful and part of this can be attributed to how confident you are, and throughout this entire series I feel like you have been so true to yourself. Your Native American genetics really contribute to your unique beauty.
Luann, when alex approached you, you told her it's none of her business. Doesn't that make the whole situation between jill and ramona none of your business also? Then why did you go to ramona right after the fight she had with jill. You shouldn't have been so mean to Alex ;(
Trip of a lifetime! Poor Alex, she is just no match for you! She has let herself become Ramona's puppet. Love the brunettes!
LuAnn,
Having class and having manners is the ability to be gracious to those that you perceive to be lacking in class and manners.

I staterd watching, because of you. Your wonderful and I love Kelly and Jill. Cindy is growing on me. However Ramona and Alex are just crazy not in a good way...
LuAnn, I found you very much in control of your emotions and of the situation in Morocco and I don't think I could have kept my cool with the some of the behaviour that went on there. As I watched each episode I really enjoyed seeing the sites you all were in. The dessert was awesome! the market just the house itself was amazing. Bravo did a good thing with this trip. I found a couple of the women extremely rude to not only each other but to the staff. I hope the staff were not upset by the level of rudeness displayed by particularily Ramona and Sonja. Nobody else was rude to staff except them. Great episodes in Morocco.. Ramona and Sonja need to go to charm school and learn manners!
LuAnn, I'd like to know if any of you ladies ever LISTEN to each other. All of that constant "trying to get heard" and jabbering would drive me crazy. Better you than me!
You were a gracious hostess-- to half of your guests! Really Luann-- you were so condescending, passive aggressive and rude to Ramona, Sonya and most especially Alexis!!if 1/2 the guests dont know when dinner is, then they didnt know! Get off your high horse and get real!!
I think that Alex was definetley very dramatic. She didn't need to make that caboose of an entrance just to have a word with you. She should have been calm instead of entering like someone had a heart attack. She s just causing herself stress that isn't necessary and will not help with the Ramona n jill issue. You handled it well!
Luann, what a beautiful trip.....I love you, Kelly and Cindy {the ladies with class}. The others are okay, but Ramona, let's call her the dramatist!!!!!
Luann, you are the only one with manners! Yes, sometime you can get very prissy but you get your point across.
i think you are misunderstood at times. i dont think that you were trying to cause a fight with Ramona. i think that you were trying to offer a glass of wine and check in on her. i think that she may have some unresolved issues with you. i know that you come off as a know it all. well i think you know allot and you like to share your knowledge. i think manners are becoming a thing of the past and i am glad you are here to remind us on how important ettiquette can be in are everyday lives.
You have been my favorite this season but after the other nights episode not so much anymore. I thought you were a little meaner in this episode, especially to Alex. Alex is definitely not one of my favorites but I think you over did it with her and the other blondes. I'm on Team Brunette definitely and will always be. I just wanted to let you know how I felt about this particular episode. Love you!! Can't wait for the rest of the season!!
Luann,
I know this is not how you were intending to come off, but I'm sorry, eventually I was just laughing at this whole scenario and how tense you were and then Kelly coming in as backup was hilarious. It's almost like you were playing a role on a broadway stage - 'The Countess' who is haughty, condescending and rigid. I'm sorry, but I would not want to go on a trip with you. I think that your intentions are kind, but you are very controlling and everyone has to do exactly what you want them to do all of the time. You assume that you are right about everything. Class and intelligence are wonderful characteristics and you have them in spades, but your arrogance diminishes those lovely qualities significantly. Take care.
LuAnn, you are still my favorite. It was none of Alex's business why you wanted to talk to Ramona. You handled Alex perfectly! And you are right, that scene with Kelly trying to calm Alex down, that is priceless! Love you, Countess!
Maria from Arizona took the words right out of my mouth!!
Absolutely loved your blue blouse on WWHLive last night! Would adore it if you could tweet or post the designer and where it can be purchased. It is beautiful and sexy with coverage and class.
you look fabulous these days - you always have, but lately you are glowing. alex is just plain crazy and kelly not far behind.
Loved how you handled Alex! you can take your friend side she came to you with that drama on behalf of Ramona favorite line of the episode "Go back to the cabinet you came out of" HA HA HA.
