luann is the only one on the show with a brain.

Luann I think you handled Alex perfectly.

LuAnn, love the way you stood up to Alex. I guess you could have let her speak more, but what she was saying wasn't authentic anyway. It is obvious to me that Alex is trying to turn up the drama for herself on the show in order to remain on the show. With the addition of two new woman, it seems she's trying to make herself more interesting and relevant. Sadly, there is a preception (based on some truth) that if people aren't involved in fights and discord on this show, they may be eliminated like Lisa Wu and DeShawn Snow on RH-Atlanta. I find it strange that Alex is so protective of Ramona, a woman who treated her and Simon like dirt for more than 2 years. And she thinks she's BFFs with Bethenny, yet Bethenny approached her about creating a logo, then choose someone else's work and never communicated anything to Alex. But she have a problem with them, yet she's making herself have one with you, Jill and Kelly.

LuAnn...I would just like to say that you are always a lady and hold yourself with grace and class. It is nice to watch you in action! I wish Alex would find a life and stop being so irritating! I had to stop watching the cafe meeting because she was so irritating and frankly childish...hopefully you put her in her place and walked out on her. Good Luck!

Please talk less and listen more.

Luann You should take your own advice! You always get in between of Jill and Ramona. And last season you got in between Betheny and Jill. I think you should tone down your Countess attitude.

She did ask you to meet in private and you wanted to talk to her about it in front of Cindy and Kelly. She asked you several times to talk in private.

If I had been on that trip or in that coffee shop I think I might have flipped a table!

Alex needs to lose the voice she found! She yells at you for talking bad about Ramona, yet in her current blog, she talks bad about Jill, Kelly & you. Good for you for putting her in her place! Don't let her get to you. Afterall, she's married to Simon. Need I say more?

Have been a fan of yours since day 1. You are a class act!

Alex did ask you to speak with her in private after your henna session. You insisted that she speak then; then you berated her & called her a witch. Perhaps your selective memory failed on this point.

LuAnn, way to tell it like it is. I am going to watch this scene over and over again, and dream some day that I can be as quick on my feet as you are. Perhaps it was those amazing boots you were wearing as you stalked (rather than clomped as dear old Alex would) out of the room. Alex inserted herself into the situation between you and Ramona, and now wants to create sub-drama out the entire situation. But I can't believe you agreed with her when she said Ramona is "fragile." Ramona is a bull in a china shop--fragile she is not. I don't even know what to say about the intimacy we witnessed between the two couples. I think Andy spoke for me when he mentioned eye bleach. Your reunion with Jacques was so unrehearsed, and you were glowing with happiness. That's all we needed to see--a cute, romantic scene.

I guess that we all have different perspectives and vantage points of how things happen blame it on editing. You did not allow Alex to say or explain because you talked over her.... sometimes you need to sit back and listen.

She did ask you to meet with her privately...it was you who said she could say what she wanted to in front of everyone!!!

LuAnn, I do believe you to be a very "classy" woman, however, you fail to practice what you preach. Yes, Alex shouldn't have flew down the stairs like a bat outta hell, but just like yourself, she was defending her friend. Alex even asked if you could step away and you insisted on the affair to be displayed with everybody sitting there. You did the same thing with Bethenny for Jill and for her again in Morocco w/Ramona. You even went as far as to having a lunch with Ramona to make her promise that she'd reach out to Jill prior to Morocco. Messenger yourself, maybe? You are constantly in the middle of the fights and have no rights telling Alex to stay out of it. It was too frustrating to watch your coffee date on tonight's episode because as usual, you wouldn't let Alex talk at all. You come off as if you are better than her, which you are not, and spoke over her the whole time. Yes, Alex has trouble spitting out her words at times, but for being such a "proper" woman, you should know when to zip it yourself and listen.

LuAnn, I usually agree with you because you are a very classy lady. However, tonite's encounter with Alex, I have to say, wasn't very classy. She was trying to have a civilized discussion with you about how you treated her, not Ramona. Instead, you shut her down and stooped to name calling. I think you owe her an apology. You really did not handle it very well. Next time, LISTEN to her. She is a good, level-headed person, just like you are. There is no need to treat her like she is an idiot.

LuAnn, I find you to be a pretty classy lady, however, you need to practice what you preach! Yes, Alex shouldn't have come flying down the steps like a bat outta hell, but she was defending her friend, Ramona. You of all people are too familiar with meddling in the middle. For example, Jill and Bethenny fight, and now Ramona and Jill. You even went as far as having Ramona out to lunch, to ensure that Ramona would make things right w/Jill prior to the Morocco trip. Messenger yourself, maybe? Tonight's showdown with Alex and yourself was too frustrating bc you wouldn't let Alex get a word in. You kept talking over her, and it was annoying. Alex has trouble spitting out her words, and everybody knows that, but you needed to "lose your voice, and zip it"

Love Love Love You! From one NY girl to the next. Alex... atrocious - behavior et vêtement!

Luann , it is clear Alex is a wanna be who can never be. You were gracious and polite to her. Alex criticizes Jill for interfering she does the same thing. PERIOD.

LuAnn,

I am so happy the other girls are gentle with you. I bet that in time you will feel better about yourself. You have potential. Please stop comparing yourself to others. You are enough just the way you are. When you get nervous, try to calm down without running away. In time you will have more confidence. In the meantime, try to learn from the other girls. They genuinely want to help you realize your potential.

xo,

Moi

luann let me just say I LOVE YOU!!!!! Your one CLASSY lady.

How is reprimanding Ramona for "causing problems" a way of showing your support?

I appreciate that you know and follow form. To be fair Alex did ask to speak with you after henna. .

You are refreshing.

Luann - your skin looks really great. It doesn't look like you've had work done, but it's really clear and glowing. What skincare products do you use if you wouldn't mind sharing!

LuAnn, I think you are classy and elegant and can't comprehend how anyone would think that Alex had a right to speak to you the way she did. She created such a scene at the Riad and again at lunch that I think she is jockeying for some sort of attention on the show. Calling you a snake in Morocco smacked of Bethenny because she used the same word when lashing out and blaming you unfairly last season. I think Alex is a poseur and a wannabe and is trying on whatever identity she thinks will attract viewers. You on the other hand have been the same strong beautiful woman every season.

I totally agree with you, some things are meant to be private! What are they really trying to prove? And Alex is way out of line to even think she needs to talk to you about Ramona & then she's running to her & talking about Jill? Give me a break & get her off the show.

I absolutely adore you. Keep being you, and noy everyone is deceived by he pettiness that is Alex.

YOU asked alex to talk to you right there in front of the other girls! She wanted to do it privately, you told her "whatever you have to say you can say infront of these girls". You are 2 faced. She just can't win with you, can she?

i used to think you were one of the kinder ladys...for one who thinks they have so much manners maybe you need to re-read your own book....how tacky

Luann, Luann....

Alex is right about you, I'm afraid. But you keep thinking otherwise.

Alex DID ask to speak with you privately after your henna tattooing session. However, she was called back and pressured to speak by Cindy AND by you. There is a book that I would like to recommend to you - it was written by a Countess and it's about manners and class. And after you've read the book and re-watched the last 2 episodes, you might want to, tastefully of course, apologize to Alex....

I agree, LuAnn, it is apparent from Ramona's comment to Alex that she would have caused a scene at Jill's focus group.

Bless Jill's heart, I truly believe she means well, but does come off as a bit over the top some of the time (referring to her conversation with Sonja).

Well- at first I thought the Thug in a Cocktail dress was just a comment- but it is obvious from this episode that it is a well deserved title. Using Darling in every sentence does not mask your condesending attitute. You are right- Money can't buy you class- but neither does obtaining the title of Countess by marriage- and it shows.

Alex DID ask to speak with you privately - you mocked her for it and insisted she speak to you right then and there. We all saw it. Maybe you should ask Bravo for a dvd of last week's show. You were rude and dismissive and Alex does not owe you an apology - you owe HER an apology.

But this seems yo be very consistent with your past behavior: You always demand an apology when you have been the rude one, and too often your castmates roll over and do it. I'm glad Alex didn't.

Oh Darling... Poor form:(

Alex hit the nail on the head...

omg. you are delusional! Alex DID ask to speak to you privately and you insisted she do it in front of the group!

I'm not really a a fan, LuAnn, but I do agree with you with regard to, shall we say, over-sharing on the part of Ramona, Alex and their husbands. Too much.

LuAnn, Please don't eat Alex. I love her.

You seem so happy around Jacques and I'm so happy for you. You don't realize how rude you are sometimes. Making comments about someone's clothes or shoes is inappropriate. I would never criticize someone's appearance and you should know better. You do need to listen and quit acting so authoritative. All of the other women are quite capable of taking care of themselves and don't need your "expertise" on all things.

Let's make this short and to the poing.....Can't stand you!!!! The only class you have or perceive you have is in your own mind. You truly are a snake.

I was glad to see you didn't get the memo about lingerie moments in this episode. But you lost me when you and Jacques giggled over the 'Indian' gag at your romantic meal. Perhaps you didn't mean to seem like a bigot.

Alex asked at the henna party to speak to you privately after your henna tatoo. You and others kept on asking her back to discuss whatever infront of eveveryone. You did not have have Ramona's best interests or feelings at hear when you went to see her upstairs. You do not like Alex, you do not even respect her, so therefore, any time you can, you berate her. You need to go back and learn manners. Being rude and condescending is not classy. As far as the show Alex and Ramona gave their husbands, you don't mention anything about Kelly and her faux pas with her breasts or the latest picture of her with her showing her underwear undera see through dress. I hope that you are happy with your new man.

Ms De Lesseps, Let's hope your atrocious behavior is only for the cameras and to get into the pages of US Weekly. I used to think you were the voice of reason and the most sophisticated "housewife" of the bunch, but it's clear you're just trying to get the most airtime. Hopefully, your daughter is watching the show.

wow, you are delusional. You seem to forget that we saw what happened too. Alex should have waited, but you called her back. It really wasn't her place and she was a little to excited, BUT we all know Alex has difficulty being the heavy. While I find your brand of rudeness entertaining, your manner and demeanor are quite ridiculous much of the time. However, your grandiose opinion of yourself and your seemingly insatiable ego make for great TV. I did have one question, do you ever have a conversation where you've controlled your need to interrupt?

Luann, I totally agree with you. Alex chose to put herself in yours and Ramona's issues. I don't recall seeing in any episode Ramona asking Alex to go fight her battles for her. Alex just needs to stop meddling and do what she does best, which is???? She kept saying it wasn't about Ramona but how you treated her when she came stomping and breaking up the henna party. does she not realize it was her to started the drama, not you. she wanted to discuss how badly you "treated" ramona. Which you clearly didn't.

I loved your comment at the sit down with her..."even Louis V. makes mistakes" LOL

Keep being you!!!

"If she had calmed down and asked me to talk with her privately after the henna tattoos, she quickly would have realized I wanted to support Ramona."

SHE DID ask you to speak with her privately, but you berated her endlessly and forced her to talk about it right then and there in front of Kelly and Cindy.

I was expecting your blog to contain some remorse for your actions, but I think Alex was right that you are delusional when it comes to your faults. Not classy at all, LuAnn.

Luann...I don't understand why you are saying you wanted to support Ramona when you went to her room in Morocco. The first thing you said to her was "Ramona, Why are you causing trouble?" Please explain!

Luann...I don't understand why you are saying you wanted to support Ramona when you went to her room in Morocco. The first thing you said to her was "Ramona, Why are you causing trouble?" Please explain!

I feel Alex, Romona, and Bethany (last year) are correct about you. You talk down to everyone or you talk over them in a demanding tone of voice. You never see how your actions or words are anything but helpful to another. The use of the word "Darling" is your way of putting people down and into their place which of course is below you. You lack real manners, you are self centered, egocentric and you have a superiority complex towards everyone. If you have six brothers and sisters you must have been the oldest or youngest who was used to getting her own way. You never let anyone really finish a statement without shutting them down in mid sentence by talking over them. You are a verbal bully who wants to beat down the spirit in others so that they will be intimidated to do things your way. It must be frustrating that neither Romona nor Alex have gotten the idea that you should be deferred to in all matters or at least have the last word. Maybe that is why you do not like them or show them any respect. You are a mean spirited gossip because everything you pass on to others about people you dislike or those who might have disagreed with you is something negative and/or passive aggressive. You riducule, criticize, make fun of or laugh at people not with them. Just watch the reruns of the this show if you need proof. I could go on but this is getting way too negative and probably something neither you nor the show would want to hear or see in print.
