Week 7 Live Blog..is now over. I hope you enjoyed it.

If you are reading this for the first time, you missed Week 7 live blog. I try to blog live every week. I am looking for a format where I can do a live video chat during the episode. I signed up with STARCAM and they will give my own channel with all kinds of fun ways to interact. It is not LIVE yet..but feel free to look around the site and see what is coming. starcam.com and put in jill zarin. A portion of the proceeds will go to a charity we are working with at that time. ( I am working with ARTrageous right now, which raises money for foster children in NYC). Check out my blog at bravotv.com !

    Why didn’t you ask that Kelly to leave after she was so ignorant when all the ladies were discussing your benefit!!??

  3. Steve amd Irene from CT said:

    We’ve been watching the re-runs, relaxing after dinner… praying with the kids and putting them to bed NOW and getting ready for tonight! We’ll have the laptop with us!

    Can’t wait! I love you Jill. You are beautiful and so funny. BTW, it is really sad today to hear the news about LouAnn. I wish her the best and I bet you will be there to help support her through this. Another BTW — did you see the shot of Ramona eating with you and Luanne at the Hamptons (before you went to get your hair done and when Ramona was shooting down boardin school). Ramona was chewing with her mouth wide open. It was disarming!! Did you notice?

    Dear Jill, From the very start of the Real Housewives of New York show, I felt that you were a very down to earth and sincere person. Thank you for being who you are, for loving Allyson and Bobby like you do and allowing all of us to peek in and share parts of your life through the show. You are such a devoted and loving mother/stepmother and I just adore the connection you and Allyson have, as well as the heartfelt emotions you show when beautiful Allyson has reached particular milestones in her young life.

    God bless you and your family dear Jill, Karen A.

    Jill- you and Bethenney are amazing! Your relationship is so special. You are a great person; I admire your contribution to charities. Your mom cracks me up and your daughter is so precious. I think it says a lot about your character to raise such a sweet girl. Best wishes!!!

  7. jill z said:

    Thanks..I love her too!

  8. Veronica said:

    Kelly is not necessary to the show!

  9. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    Hi Jill – kids are asleep, Irene, “Duppy” (our Maltese) and the laptop are laying in bed watching you — This Kelly broad is some ticket — isn’t she??

  10. Shari said:

    Jill!! I saw you last month at the Carlos Miele show and its pathetic how excited I got – you’re even more absolutely stunning and beautiful in person than you are on the show!! There’s nothing wrong with being from Long Island honey, be proud! Love you!

  11. Cassell said:

    Do you girls really like Kelly?

  12. Cassell said:

    I don’t really understand how to do this live blogging thing….Help!

  13. Kasey said:

    What is up with Ramona…every week she is talking about everybody’s energy…she is like a General Electric commercial.

  14. Barron said:

    Hi Jill! I tried call in but got the twitter message late! Ginger’s is on its way to me! I should have it in my possession any day now, and I will be sending it on to you, for the Barron’s little princess!

    Irene says “The two weirdos get along well, don’t they??” meaning Ramona & Kelly

  16. Nancy said:

    Hi Jill
    Greetings from Seattle Washington..Have you ever been to Seattle
    Thanks for being the real housewife that keeps me smiling all through the show!
    Love your website also and thanks for being so accessable to your fans

  17. Veronica said:

    ?? is jill there? it’s my first time and i don’t see anything happening…..???

  18. Christy said:

    I cannot tell you how hard and loud I’ve been laughing at the new season! There have definitely been some shockers to though. You and Bethenny have because my faves! She does a fantastic impression of you! You both seem so much more real than the others! Thanks for that!

  19. Buck said:

    I called you tonight and missed you!
    Sad face!

    of course Ramona and Kelly like each other!
    the two nastiest people! LOL

    TEAM JILL!

    Hey, Jill – I hope you and Ally had fun in Vegas! We were there at the same time, but different hotel.

    Can’t wait to see the show tonight (I’m in OC, CA).

    LOVE your “insider” blogging. You are my absolute fave (& Bethenny!)

  21. Maggie said:

    I’m so mad that I dont have the Bravo channel anymore. Cant wait to watch it on Ti-vo in 2 weeks. Love you and Bethenny!

  22. Emma said:

    Is this where the live blog is?

  23. aly simon said:

    i dont see the blog anywhere???

  24. cresta said:

    I fell in love with NYC during my trip in ’07. And that love continues thru your show! I was also curious to know if you knew anyone that might have charities that work with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis…. it is a rare cancer like condtion in children? My son was diagnosed with this last yr. Email me if you have any info..Thank you!!! And my best to your family.

  25. Linda said:

    Hi Jill, You girls in NY are great. You and Bethenny are my favorite. How did the Van Campen remodel go? What was your opinion of the Atlanta HW??

    Linda

  26. mara said:

    I want a Bobby!! ;)

  27. jill z said:

    thanks..next time say HI!

  28. Paula said:

    Hey Jill – love the new digs! You and Brad did a great job.
    Aly is beautiful! I’m sure you’re proud. I can’t wait to see your charity event. Good for you for being so real and doing something to make a difference.

  29. jill z said:

    you did it!

  30. christina said:

    Jill, I love this show and I love how close you are with Bethenny!! I also love how you tell it like it is. Being a new mother I have something to cut through the exhaustion and I look forward to new episodes every week!!!!

  31. Laurel said:

    Jill! You are absolutely my favorite! And you look amazing!!! Loving this weeks episode!!

  32. cathy said:

    Thanks for the blog to keep me entertained during commercial breaks

  33. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    OH NO — HERE IT COMES!!!!!!!!! POOR BETHENNY!!!!!!

  34. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    I beg all of you -PRAY for me! Find me on page six. My pic is outside the Chandler ny, I have my truefaith CZ necklace on with my Skinny cupcake in hand. I’m wrapped in a fine korean silk from Zarin and I must say do not correct my cardboard sign it was “ok’ed” by the countess. Thank you in advance – My tan may distract ignore that please!
    I need your LOX w/ c and b god help me! I know NYC WILL HELP ME!

  35. Emma said:

    Sorry, hi Jill. Thanks for blogging. OMG no kelly didn’t

  36. Peggy said:

    Ugh…how can anyone stand Kelly. So pretentious!

    You ROCK Jill!!

    -Peggy

  37. Tina T. said:

    I think Kelly wanted to meet her alone, because Kelly knows that you all, especially YOU would rally around Bethenny. Not that she needs it, our favorite Skinny Girl can handle anyone and anything.
    I’m glad to see that you were upset by the “cute” comment. I was mad for you last week! It’s not cute. It’s very painful. My Dad has it and my great Aunt Peg had it. Aunt Peg had it so bad, that she couldn’t use her hands towards the end.
    I wish I had the money to throw around and help. I do what I can in my own little world.
    Adore you, your family and the rest of the ladies, except the new girl.

  38. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! WHO DOES THIS CHICK THINK SHE IS????

  39. christina said:

    Oh, and Jill…you look fab at the Zang Toi fashion show, that dress was so gorgeous on you!!!!!

  40. Megan said:

    I love you and Bethenny! After watching Kelly and Bethenny I just want to strangle Kelly, she thinks she is so supreme.

  41. ChrissyT said:

    Jill – I love love LOVE your style. You always looks so chic and give me inspiration (I’m big chested like you!!). I have to ask – did you ever wear that absolutely STUNNING Zang Toi Native American gown? It was so spectacular and you looked fabulous in it… love you in DC!

  42. Laurel said:

    Also…thank you for being friends with bethenny and not Kelly!! Im sorry, I dont really love her. And think, at least on these episodes, she acts like a child. Thank you for being you Jill!

  43. kylah said:

    hey girl you are so fab!

  44. teresa said:

    hi there.. ok this is my first blogging experience.. i Love the show! oh boy…what is kelly doing? doesn’t look pretty…got to give it to bethanny for not walking out..OMG!!! i am streesed for her right now!

  45. WickedMichem said:

    I can’t stand it. Now that Ramona and Kelly are kissing each other’s arses, I am done with both of them. I could barely stand either one of them alone, never mind TOGETHER!! And now this scene with Kelly and Bethenny is making me sick. Why do they allow this to go on?????

  46. Lance said:

    okay so i love u but not when u toot ur own horn …..”i buy alot …more than the other” there is no need to be like that …but i love:)

  47. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    WHAT A FREAK! HOW THE HECK DID THIS LADY MAKE IT ON TO THE SHOW?????

  48. Buck said:

    omg. KELLY HAS BI POLAR.
    SHE IS OUT OF HER MIND.
    THAT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!

    GOOD JOB BRAVO! lol

  49. Amy Curtis said:

    Oh Bethany killed it!!!! Kelly should be picking up her face off the ground right now. That was painful and hilarious to watch. Isn’t this guy Max the one she was just arrested over? Kelly is a hot mess!

  50. michele said:

    Jill you are the best!!!the apartment looks AMAZING. LOVE THE Wallpaper on the cabinets!! Gorgeous!!

    and yes kelly says LIKE way TOOO MUCH. Sounds extremely immature.

  51. Megan said:

    Seriously, who do I need to email to make sure Kelly isn’t on Season 3?!

  52. Barron said:

    I just saw Kelly vs Bethenny! Kelly needs to be thrown off the show! She is nothing but low class trash! It is so sad! And girls she is the most hard ugliest woman I have ever seen!

  53. jacquisha said:

    OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING! First … Kelly needs to hide the goggle marks from the tanning bed she just jumped off and her skin is FALLING OFFFF …. Two … she is coked out of her head!

  54. Ellen said:

    OMG Kelly is a giant mean Sashquash.Who is not only ugly on the outside but on the outside as well.

  55. Ben Vess said:

    Kelly must d-i-e.

  56. tim said:

    OMG KELLY IS A B***!!!!!

  57. Emma said:

    Is that the boyfriend Kelly is accused of beating up?

  58. jacquisha said:

    HAHAHAHA “Sophmoric!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” amazing … is that the guy she beat up? the one thats a homo and speaks no english? was she in a coke fit when she hit him?

  59. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    SHE CAN’T LET IT GO!! She gives Ramona advice and acts like a 2 year old herself?????

  60. Giulia Migliaccio said:

    I really cant stand Kelly. They really need to keep her her to a minimum because it’s torture to watch!

  61. Kasey said:

    OMG…Kelly is a crazy cougar! (Translation, Kelly is a Loca Puma for her Italian boy)

  62. Meredith said:

    Jill- our house loves your show and loveeee you and Bethenny. Kelly is a mean lady, and though she thinks she famous, she is NBD (no big deal). Im up here and your down here? What WAS THAT?

    Us Miami University girls Love you and bethenny!

  63. Lauren G. said:

    Jill,
    First of all, my roommates and I LOVE you and Bethenny – you make us laugh (but in a good way!).
    Was it editing or did Kelly really make NO SENSE at all in that Bethenny conversation? Bethenny came off really classy, calm, and logical while Kelly looked like a ranting special needs child.

  64. Veronica said:

    Even a RHW of Bucks County wouldn’t wear pink rubber boots! She is so yesterday’s news. Is that the guy she beat up?
    GO JILL and BETHANY.

  65. jill z said:

    I do…stay tuned for another episode

  66. Tina T. said:

    Hey Jill, isn’t Max the guy Kelly punched in the eye recently?

    Sorry, I’m being a bit silly, but I just sat her in the bedroom screaming at the TV for Bethenny to just go postal. She didn’t, I know I would’ve, but B handled herself so well. Very classy. My husband doesn’t even want to come in here right now, cause he says I’m way too uppity at the moment.

  67. Michelle said:

    Kelly couldn’t shine Bethenny shoes! Bethenny is the best.
    Hope all is well with you Jill. You and Bethenny, my favorites.
    Enjoye the rest of the show.

  68. Lori said:

    Jill – the only reason I still watch is because of you and Bethenny. Alex makes me want to vomit regularly – I mean really – do they really think they are that attractive? OY! Romona is so first season. I think she is spoiled rotten and again, thinks too much of herself.

    You on the other hand, your wit and your Jill-isms just keep me entranced! And Bethenny – if I could listen to you two all day I would buy tickets! I love your one lined zingers. I adore you.

    Your apartment? WOW! Loves it!

    Ally is freaking adorable! I hope that she finds relief from her pain soon! I have been a RA sufferer since I was in my 20′s (as well as Fibromyalgia), so I understand her pain.

    Kelly – I wonder if she watched herself tonight… Tell me Kelly – what did Bethenny do? Because everytime you tossed her towards the bus, you couldn’t substantiate your statements. This one does not belong on your show!

    I suppose I should pay attention to the show – my husband doesnt want to watch the fight again because I am multi tasking!

    Your fan! Lori :)

  69. Danielle said:

    Ahhhhhhh!!!! I can’t take it I am about to jump through the TV and strangle her. Seriously strangle her. From the pink rain boots to the no bra, to the BAD SKIN to the 12 year old girl attitude to her ridiculous pedestal she has put herself on. She is a hot mess. A hot mess that needs to leave the show!

  70. Laurel said:

    Love your live blogging! Bethenny is such a strong woman and a great friend! You and Bethenny make the show!

    -Laurel

  71. Ellen said:

    I mean Ugly on the inside as well.

  72. Marci said:

    Kelly is such a B***H. Who is she anyway?? She is so wrinkled and just “used” looking! I’m so glad Bethenny kept her cool!

  73. Amy Curtis said:

    Jill you absolutely called it right!~ Why is Kelly even on the show.

  74. Gregory said:

    Kelly was coked up with that scene with Betheny. Look how big her pupils are in that scene. They are HUGE.

  75. Shannon said:

    That Kelly is such a jerk- why is she on the show? At 40 years old, you’d think she’d know how to act around people!! Thank god she didn’t give Bethenny a black eye like she did her boyfriend- crazy psycho! Kelly and Ramona are two peas in a pod- weirdos!

  76. Veronica said:

    I’ll send that e-mail too. I think she made her own bed though…..

  77. christina said:

    Jill, what do you think about the Countess getting seperated? Seeing as she has been very free with her relationship advice. I do feel bad, its hard to have something like that happen and I would be devestated, but I don’t act like an authority on relationships and marriage.

  78. JenV said:

    Hi Jill!
    What was Kelly’s point? Bethenny acted like a total lady. I think Kelly is medicated.
    I have to admit Max is hot, but some men are better in print than in person if you know what I mean!

  79. Michelle said:

    Hey Jill…great blogging! Someone needs to tell Kelly she talks like a high-schooler with all of her “like” comments CONSTANTLY! So she hadn’t seen Max in a few months? Oh yeah, that shows that he is sooo into her! Good lord that woman is stupid. I am so proud of Bethenny for how she handled the situation. The only thing that would have made it better is if she would have kicked Kelly’s ass right then and there!

  80. tim said:

    Jill your my favorite housewife ever!!

  81. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    Hey Jill, do you need to “prepare” us for your scene with Ramona’s husband????

  82. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    waaaaaaaaaa!

  83. Gregory said:

    Jill, Kelly wasnt’ upset but high and not on life. Her pupils are HUGE. Max’s pupils were not. Kelly has issues. Just ask her boyfriend that she beat up.

  84. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    CHINESE TAKE OUT MENUS???? GO BETHENNY!!! PROBABLY NEXT TO THE “FRIED CAT”!!

  85. Annie said:

    Jill!

    I love this live blogging thing that you are doing.. You are a riot!!

    *Sigh* You and Bethenny make me smile!!

  86. Stephanie said:

    Wow. Kelly is CrAzY. Selective memory! Get her off the show! I hate watching when she’s on. She thinks she is Paris Hilton or something. She needs to grow up, get a life, and spend some time with her kids instead of whoring it around town..seems like shes more boy crazy than a 13 year old and not crazy about being a mom. Get your priorities straight! Geez, I hate her. Bethenny is awesome with the comebacks though. Seriously, please do anyting you can to get her off the show!!!

  87. erica said:

    Hi Jill! I am not a trouble maker or anything,but I think Kelly went to confront Bethenny with intentions on making her feel small,but Bethenny pulled her guns out and socked it to miss Kelly…OWWW

  88. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    Jill – Learn how to type.

  89. Danielle said:

    Oh and by the way, Bethenny’s sarcasm is priceless. I would pay to have that kind of sarcasm. Genius!!

  90. Veronica said:

    She barely scratched the surface. She’s such a good person – that Kelly is a non-issue. Bethanny should have walked out first. But it made for great camera time.

  91. Lori said:

    I think Kelly is kissing ass to Ramona because Ramona is just as big of a kiss ass, so Kelly has a friend!

    Its amazing, its really amazing. Ramona, come up with a new line!

  92. Helen said:

    Jill, you are amazing! Your devotion to your family is beautiful. I’ve been dying to tell you that I think Bobby is the best looking guy on the show- his quiet confidence is extremely sexy. The way he looks at you speaks volumes. I would love to make a trip to NY and visit Zarin’s. The store web site is wonderful. Thanks to you, your family and Bethenney for making my Tuesday nights so much fun!!

  93. Maria said:

    DUMP KELLY

  94. Veronica said:

    On TV the walls are a bit toward the green side. I love it – but is that accurate? Love, love the kitchen cabinets

  95. Amy Curtis said:

    where is LuAnn so far? I cannot believe she is seperating from her hubby! I DO feel bad for her.

  96. Heather Duncan said:

    well, I just think that kelly is so new to the group, and she feels like an outsider. nobody has to be her best friend, I guess at the charity meeting she accidently said “that’s cute” about ali and her arthritis. it just came out wrong. I don’t think that kelly’s heart is in the charity. and she should try harder to communicate that she is not interested in coming instead of showing up late. By showing up at all, it gave the other girls mixed messages. Is she wanting to participate or not. So kelly just needs to communicate better, mabey the whole problem could of been avoided

  97. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    You REALLY have wonderful husband Jill. I’m sure you count your blessings — right sweetie???

  98. LC said:

    Jill -
    I love your mother, will she be on again this season? The time she took to listen to Bethanny warmed my heart. I think it’s great she’s had such good response, I am obviously not the only one who related to her.

    I lost my daughter last year in an accident, watching you with your daughter brings back good memories for me.

    Team Jill Rocks

    L

  99. Gregory said:

    5 years from now, Bethenny will be higher ranking than Kelly. Oh wait, Bethenny is already!!!

  100. Gina said:

    Omg you’re so right on Jill!!! Kelly is completely out of line and acting like a hot mess! Where does she get off!?!

  101. nina said:

    don’t worry, kelly will be in jail by next season!

  102. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    Ramona just said you SIT HOME AND DO NOTHING?????? As Bethenny would say, :Oh no she DIDN’T!!!!!”

  103. WickedMichem said:

    I can’t WAIT to see you putting Mario in his place . . .

  104. david jon said:

    HEY JILL! How are you? Love the new website! Not sure if you remember me, I’m the 23 year old fashion designer from Miami. My line is Gold Saturn – http://www.GoldSaturn.com

    Me and my boyfriend LOVE YOU TO DEATH!! We just don’t understand how Bobby didn’t stand up for you? WE WOULD OF KICKED MARIO’S ASS ON THE SPOT!! NO ONE TALKS TO JILL LIKE THAT! He is an Ass!

    PS. WE WANT YOU TO HAVE YOUR OWN SPINOFF… and Ally is beautiful too!

    PSS. Let me know if you want a Gold Saturn design, and I will send one for your and Ally right away!

  105. Emily said:

    WOWWWW I cant stand Kelly. Props to Bethany for maintaining her cool- it’s VERY easy to lose it in that situation. Kelly is a person that when they act out, you nix them. period. There is NO reason that one person should talk to another in that nature. She just finished telling Ramona not to waste her time on Simon. So why does Kelly insist on belittling Bethanny? If Kelly doesn’t have time for others then she should go live in her little bubble with Max.

    Mario is rude too. Enough! ITS TENNIS

  106. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    Poor Ramona is UPSET because of you — BOO HOO HOO!!!

  107. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    Jeez Jill – LOOK hit the uv booth and than… OH MY GOD! get a
    FINE ASS CZ Brooch from TRUEJUNK.COM! You are there!

  108. Danielle said:

    Mario needs a little blotting paper…or perhaps a bit of powder.

  109. WickedMichem said:

    And now Ramona is making me nauseous . . . AGAIN. No wonder she and Kelly get along so well – all they do is talk about themselves and how wonderful they are!

  110. teresa said:

    TOO FUNNY Ramona…thank you for your resume…

  111. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    Ha! chuckle Klein! Ha!

  112. Tracey said:

    Jill, let me just put it out there and say Bobby is the ultimate great guy. He is such a breath of fresh air; hardworking, supportive, fun, friendly. He brings calmness and normalcy into every scene. I think you and your second husband should do a second show. The time will come to leave these ladies and I believe you have the flair to keep going with this. Jill we want to party in the Hamptons with you. Throw a contest or make it an auction item. What do you say!! Tracey

  113. WickedMichem said:

    DOH! Now Ramona gets it about Kelly!!! Ooohhhh . . . .

  114. Jess said:

    Can Ramona stop listing her resume?? Does she do this when the cameras stop rolling? It’s really lame.

  115. Michelle said:

    Is Ramona throwing out her resume for Mario or the camera? The answer is in the question! And shock… another R/M conversation turns to how wonderful they are. No scene with them would be complete without some self-loving.

  116. Lori said:

    PRIMA DONNA JILL???? OMG! Mario and Ramona are a J.O.K.E!

  117. Amy Curtis said:

    Mario is talking about you and what you do? What the hell does he do? He owns a company that makes trophies – oh no now that he’s on tv he’s in the jewelry business. She went to FIT? Big deal. She was a buyer for Macy’s? Weren’t you also in the fashion biz?

  118. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    HERE COMES JILL!!!! You better bash Mario Jill == we’re waiting to see you in ACTION!!!

  119. Veronica said:

    OH HIT HIM!!! OH PUHLEEZE!!!

  120. Emma said:

    Bettheny rocks. She is truly a class act and a strong woman. Ramona is such a brown noser.

  121. Danielle said:

    Please tell me you punch him. Tell me you knock that smirk off his face. Not that I want you arrested but tell me you hit him. Or at least a good shove!

  122. Barron said:

    Jill! I agree with you about J & R! We had the same problem with them! We ordered a Black Sony and they sent a silver one down here and the wrong size and they were like not just keep it It is only a color! Can you imagine that for that price just settle for it they said!

  123. Veronica said:

    Don’t give up on us now….

  124. Megan said:

    kelly was arrested?! what?!

  125. Emma said:

    Hang in there please Jill.

  126. Hamp said:

    Ramona is finally seeing Kelly’s true colors. I don’t know why she kissed Kelly’s a** so much before getting to know her. Ramona and Mario are VERY jealous of you and Bobby. And Mario looks like he gets very confrontational and obnoxious with you! You handled that with dignity. I would have knocked him out and appeared in the papers with Kelly. At least I would have been able to plead my case with complete sentences. Kelly is an idiot. Bethenny held back – she could have cut Kelly in half with one hilarious sentence. I think Bethenny was a little taken aback at the train wreck she was witnessing. Love the way your remodeling is taking shape!

  127. Jim said:

    Kelly needs to be told that she is not as fabulous as she thinks she is!
    She is attractive at most, looks older than her age(too much sun?), nobody knows her and would not even recognize her name on an invitation.
    Does she do charity or not? First she tells Luanne she does not do
    charity then she says she has too many charities to deal with. How dare she call a charity “Cute”. She has no class and is a fool! Get rid of her next season.

  128. Tia said:

    You and Bethanny make the most sense.

  129. Tisha said:

    i think you completely underplayed KELLY’S CRAZINESS she was ranting and raving and repeating herself with out being able to answer her own questions on to why she was mad. she was like a little girls talking out her butt!! and what was up with her waiting on the other side of the door. it was hilarious! you could see the craziness in her eyes when she was telling Bethany to calm down (as Bethany is cool as a cucumber texting and trying to leave) you can tell she is starving for attention as she adds in “i got to go on a date”…what are you in junior high… so sad!!
    (you have to admit it lends some credibility to the recent assault charges)

  130. Dara said:

    OMG, Kelly has got to be kidding! Who on this earth does she think she is??????? What a rude, snobby mean “girl”……ugh…..

    Betheny handled herself beautifully, you can do that when you come from a place of YES.

    Jill you are my favorite, you do more charity work than all of them put together.

    Hang in there LuAnn, sorry for your troubles..

  131. Emily said:

    Bethenny definitely retold the story exactly how it happened and didn’t try to swing it her way like Kelly did when she told Ramona. Kelly is very childish, she’s the one that needs to calm down since she stormed out on Bethenny!

    And I am absolutely appalled by Ramona and Mario at dinner. Have they seriously already forgotten about all the charities you do, especially your one for Ally and that you work at Zarin Fabrics?! And I like how Ramona has to “reiterate” what she’s ‘accomplished’ while the camera is around. They’re so immature gossiping about you during dinner! NO CLASS! Unlike you, you’re FABULOUS!

    On a side note… I need some advice, is Ask Jill back yet?? :]

  132. Krysta said:

    What is tonight the annoying Kelly show! OMG.I can throw up. She is a stupid, illiterate, immature moron.

  133. Maria said:

    Update on the Countess please. Divorce?

  134. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    Here goes KELLY AGAIN — SHUT UP KELLY ALREADY!!! WE DON’T CARE!!!! she didn’t want to be rude???? She took a “MEETING?”

  135. Dara said:

    Kelly looks horrible

  136. Margaret Selikoff said:

    Kelly is a seriously vain and vapid fright. My husband keeps asking me what’s wrong with kelly’s face.

  137. Lmichelle said:

    Jill, you are my favorite (and Bethenny too)!! Kelly should be replaced ASAP. She seems like the black cloud of the cast.
    P.S. – Hope to see more of your mother in some of the upcoming episodes, she’s the cutest! Gotta love Jewish mothers!

  138. rebecca said:

    Oh my this is so entertaining…love your live blogging…i agree whole heartedly with you and would like to add kelly appears to be on something. my opinion.

    watching along with you in hawaii.

    aloha.

  139. Dara said:

    Kelly how dare you talk about manners when you invite someone out and keep them waiting for 30 minutes! You are the queen of RUDE

  140. WickedMichem said:

    I love how LuAnn is like, uhhhh Kelly, you don’t get it. At all.

  141. jacquisha said:

    First time I can say this but good for you countlett Luann … glad she’s not double talking just because she is with her

  142. jill z said:

    sicko..I am typing fast to get it online FAST. GO AWAYYYYYYY

  143. Emma said:

    Mario and Ramona are so desparte for attention. Really not fun to watch. Jill, Bettheny, Gloria, make this show. Poor Ramona, she seems so desperate. Listing her resume, OMG. It’s a sin, she really needs help.

  144. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    MAKES NO IMPACT ON KELLY’S LIFE?? SHE CAN’T FRICKIN SHUT UP ABOUT BETHENNY!!

  145. Heather Duncan said:

    bethany was confused also that kelly showed up at the charity meeting, and that is what irritated her. Jill, bethany did not want you to be hurt and that is why she reacted that way. there is nothing wrong with that reaction. Bethany is just a person who response better to people who are truthful and up front about stuff

  146. Megan said:

    obviously it made an impact on kelly’s life if she has to continuously talk about it! geez let it go

  147. Kasey said:

    I am sorry, was Kelly at the table with Bethenny? That is SO not what happened! Bobby always looks so dapper, he dresses very well!!

  148. Amy Curtis said:

    yes. check tmz.com and enter her name. it was fairly recent. or could be smokinggun.com. Kelly is ridiculous.

  149. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    Now LuAnn is a DUCHESS????? I think LuAnn is THE SIR LOIN OF BEEF!!!!!

  150. Bryan said:

    go Jill. Its nice to see a fellow Woodmere person doing something good

  151. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    MAAAARRRI AND JILL !!! HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!

  152. Veronica said:

    Don’t you know all this stuff before it happens? Duke ? He BUILT the Suez Canal? AND he sent the Statue of Liberty? Too bad he is GONE>>>>

  153. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    HERE WE GO JILL!!!!

  154. Shopper said:

    Wow, that Kelly is a lying, vicious, psycho bitch. Simon and Mario both need to STFU and get off this show.

  155. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    IS MARIO AND RAMONA ON COKE????? SERIOUSLY?????

  156. Mandy said:

    YOU and RAMONA called it KELLY is a fonny….clearly you know fashion since u buy alot….and Ramona knows fashion since she is in negotiation to appear to on ABC’s Ugly Betty !!!!

  157. WickedMichem said:

    Is Mario on crack? what is his problem? what is with all his overly dramatic actions???

  158. Hamp said:

    Even with Mario yapping, I noticed you had a beautiful jacket on. You looked great!

  159. Gregory said:

    Kelly got in a fightwith her boyfriend and apparently beat him up. It was last month.

  160. Gregory said:

    Mario is an idiot. He is trying to be Simon with his air time?!?!

  161. Veronica said:

    OMG!!! Mario is so unfortunate, for lack of a better word. OMG!!!he is a stiff!!

  162. Victoria Crisp said:

    REALLY NO ONE WANT KELLY ON SEASON 3! WHO DO WE (AS VIEWERS) HAVE TO HIT OVER THE HEAD TO GET IT THROUGH THEIR THICK SKULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Its NOT funny really its stupid and WE (VIEWERS and my family) will stop watching!!!!!!!!!! PLZ back me up on this!!!!!!!! ITS not good TV its ANNOYING!!!

  163. Lori said:

    Kelly should do a posture check with that dress on!

  164. Ben Vess said:

    Wayne must not be getting his bonus this year…

  165. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    Jill Zarin – If your not male you are NOT working you are getting the ok, ok, ok – wanna work HIT MAC DONALDS!

  166. Gregory said:

    Mario’s outburst on Jill was a bore. Was he try to be crazier than Kelly?

  167. Gregory said:

    JILL THANK GOD FOR BOBBY

  168. Shopper said:

    Jill, love you and Bobby. I know Bobby has class but why didn’t he whip Mario’s ass for getting up in your face like that? No one would blame him.

  169. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    JILL THE MANIAC??????????? MARIO IS REALLY DISRESPECTFUL TO YOU HERE — SERIOUSLY, NOT NICE.

  170. rebecca said:

    mario looks like he would smell of drakkar noir.

  171. linda said:

    I LOVE JILL!!! you & Bethenny are the only ones that seem to be playing with a full deck!!
    the question we have of the day is whether or not the COUNTESS is going to be able to keep her title!!??? ;-)

  172. Veronica said:

    It appears that you and Bobby have a real husband and wife relationship as opposed to those who seem to have marriages of Television and Cameras!

  173. Dara said:

    Mario, what do you have to prove??? If you are such a pro, what the heck do you need to play with Jill for? Jill, you’re right Mario is looking for the camera.

    Uh Oh, here comes SILEX

  174. Hamp said:

    I think Mario embarrassed Ramona. Bobby is so sweet and protective! Mario is off the chain. He wants to be on the show as much as Simon. He’s so obnoxious. An honor for anyone to play with Mario?????

  175. Katie said:

    Mario seemed obnoxious in a drunk way.

  176. Heather Duncan said:

    jill, mario was so rude and immature, what he this you don’t work!!!!!

  177. Emma said:

    Go Jill, go. Set Mario straight. But don’t hit him. He’s not worth it.

  178. Ed B said:

    Mario makes me ill, what a schmuck. He’s another Simon in the making.

  179. jill z said:

    no ..she had a real boyfriend not on show

  180. Tisha said:

    OMG JILL punch him!! lol your awsome!

  181. Veronica said:

    YOU DID GREAT. MARIO IS A MORON. I HOPE McENROE SHOWS UP NEXT WEEK.

  182. Michael said:

    Mario Needs to take a Midol. He is one crazy due. Who does he think he is talking to you like that? Don’t take that from him! I thought it was horrible for him to say you don’t work. What does he do? He approves other people’s designs for jewelry. Wow hes a tennis pro, congratulations you are amazing. We should all bow to to your awesomeness. Jill you are better then them.

  183. WickedMichem said:

    Jill, you did awesome keeping your cool with that lunatic. Seriously, did he smoke something before he went to the party? What is his problem? You are a class act. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – you and Bethenny are the best.

  184. Emily said:

    Mario is a jerk. He should NOT talk to you like that, no man should EVER talk to a woman like that. You did a good job fighting him back though!
    He acts like a 12 year old boy trying to show off for the girl he likes.
    He and Ramona are both so full of themselves when they don’t even do anything that warrants any merit!

    Nice job holding your own, I’ve got an Irish temper so I probably WOULD have punched him out.

  185. Ed B said:

    Jill, you handled yourself well, unlike the little boy who had to resort to mud flinging. You, Bethany and LuAnn make the show, those other bitches need to go back to the asylum they escaped from.

  186. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    AGAIN! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Let me post something!

    Tell you what Jill Your man IS A MAN.. I would have asked the same
    “do I need to get involved” and FORGET the bill… Gratz Ta Mr. Z

    And Mrs. Z

  187. Emma said:

    Why play with Mario anyway. Your better than that Jill. Gotta love Bobby. You are so lucky Jill.

  188. Dara said:

    Mario, OMG what the heck are you trying to prove?? If you are such a pro, why do you need to play with Jill?? Mario is looking for his day in the sun….

    UhOh, here comes SILEX…

  189. Trish said:

    Jiiilll, Boooobby! You guys are adorable!! What a train wreck this episode is! I can’t look away. Help me!

  190. Cassell said:

    I would die if I was present during that conversation with Mario. thank GOD you had your Iphone so you didn’t really hit him!!!! Too Funny

  191. Lori said:

    I LOVE BOBBY!!!!

    “Lets go to the Greek Isles”. That is a way to get rid of the Mario stress!

    What is with Ramona’s eyes?

    Bobby is such a sweetheart!

  192. Barron said:

    Jill! Mario became out of control! I have to say that you handled it very well! I think I might have thrown my drink in his face or other place when he said, “Take your toys and go Home!” Who does he think he is with that crap jewelry he pawns and sells!

  193. amanda m said:

    JILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! about the UGLY BETTY APERANCE is that just RAMONA or is that All the Real Houswives!!!!

  194. Heather Duncan said:

    mario just wants more air time. so he has to be an ass hole about it. just shows what some people’s real intentions are. he is so jelous of you jill.

  195. Hamp said:

    Hadn’t heard about Alex’ nude photos. Must have missed that scandal.

  196. Amy Curtis said:

    You did fantastic. Bobby should have punched him.

  197. Jill and Kenneth said:

    OMG!!!! Mario had no right to attack you like that! What is he trying to be the next Real Husband of NYC?

  198. jill z said:

    First time I ever heard that. Were you kidding or is Ramona going on Ugly Betty?

  199. FormerNYer said:

    Why didn’t the Count accompany the Countess/Duchess to the Page Six party? As if I didn’t know ;-)

  200. Kasey said:

    Wow, Mario and Ramona are all about the 15 minutes of fame! I love how Ramona worked her fashion resume into the show. Are you and Bethenny the only normal “housewives”?

  201. teresa said:

    jill…great show…lots of emotion for sure….as usual can;t wait for next week. gotta get ready for bed….good night..

  202. Marla said:

    No REAL man treats a woman the way Mario treated you Jill. It doesn’t matter how much he disagrees with you. Good for Bobby for being a man and asking if you needed backup. We all love Bobby. :)

  203. inbama said:

    love you jill, you are the best. this is the craziest episoded ever!!!!

  204. nina said:

    mario was drunk and rude and should be embarrassed… camera hog. wish bobby had decked him for wagging his finger in ur face.

  205. Gregory said:

    I think Ramaona and Mario had too much to drink at that party.

  206. Katya said:

    O, Mario&Ramona – Please! This tennis arrangement…. Jill, you didn’t have to do it at all, it was totally up to you. She lost, so it was kind of you to agree on rematch… .

    Kelly looks plane stupid. I CAN NOT hear any longer: * LIKE* and *Amazing*. And what you do (charity) for Ally is CUTE! She thinks she brings class and fame to the show…. Lol!

  207. michele said:

    TEAM JILL! Mario is not worth your energy…I dont understand his obsession with you playing tennis with him.

    WOW Ramona and Mario are attacking everyone at the page 6 party…

    who’s next??

  208. Cassell said:

    I did see her on HSN! lol

  209. Hamp said:

    Good for Simon (did I really say that?) for giving Ramona and Mario a taste of their own medicine.

  210. Joyce said:

    I saw this today “Real Housewife Countess LuAnn de Lesseps No Longer a Wife” E! states the Count was having an affair and told LuAnn right after their anniversary. I hope Bethanny does not take her advice on how t get a man.

  211. Veronica said:

    Silex! That’s hilarious.
    LISTEN TO ME! Silex. R E S P E C T

  212. amanda m said:

    Yeah she is going to do some comedy skit with Whielimena about her “crosses” smothing about Willy having to use fake dimonds due to the budget crisis!!!

  213. Barron said:

    The apartment is FABULOUS! That party was just one cluster F***! Have a great evening, Jill! Kiss Ginger for us!

  214. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    Jill – Thanks for posting my other note!

  215. Dara said:

    Mario and Ramona are wound waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy toooooo tight!!!!!!!!
    Very hypocritical……

  216. Cassell said:

    Great Show Jill!!!! Can’t wait to see who your playing with next week….Beat their asses!

  217. Steve & Irene from CT said:

    Well Jill, good night from CT. This is teh first time we’ve LIVE BLOGGED — it was fun. Love to you, Bobby & Allie — Steve & Irene in Connecticut

  218. Veronica said:

    Hey. Great fun Jill. Thanks for doing this for the FANS.

    Love you – Bobby and Ally. You are good people.

  219. Victoria Crisp said:

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY GGGGGGGGGGGGod I adore this show!!!!!!!!!!!

  220. Claudia said:

    Mario is just as nuts as Ramona no wonder they get along

  221. Katya said:

    How old is Kelly anyway?

  222. Victoria Crisp said:

    THey totally did drink!!!!!!!!!! DUH

  223. Mr. Van Kampen Mccord said:

    I was really really really put OFF by Like Like you know -
    It’s like why would I be Jealous of you! You have so many awesome
    things goinging on! Do you like my tan? I got it in the woods!!

  224. ashley said:

    why didn’t bobby punch mario out?
    also.. kelly is an idiot. hes brain dead, completely re-created the situation. who is she? i’ve never even heard of her and i live in new york. she thinks shes important? i dont even get how she was a model, she’s awkwardly un-curvey. yuck.

  225. Katie said:

    my husband and i paused the show to come check out your blog. Jill- you are so funny. how do you have time to do all this?? i just read about luann on FB. now i need to go finish watching and come back..it’s getting spicy! kelly is psychotic. but jill rocks!

  226. Samantha Bowman said:

    Wow! The JILL ZARIN LIVE BLOG is awesome in comparison to the one on Bravotv.com! I love your honest opinions and reaction to the episode minute by minute! Kelly… what a damn delusional, egotistical and manipulative bitch! Way to go Bethenny for keeping her composure! I would have been dropping bombs left and right.

  227. Claudia said:

    what is Alex and Simon doing on this show?
    How did they get the part? I’ve never seen people like that.
    They’re like from another planet

  228. Tiffany O said:

    Kelly needs TO GO!!!! She is annoying and classless…although she does create some interesting drama!! I think Bethenny is right on and i really admire her-she isn’t a pushover and says what she thinks and gets her point across-and I love that she doesn’t sugar-coat things!

    Wow-Mario is just as annoying and obnoxious as Ramona. They belong together for SURE!!! And I like Alex and Simon no matter what anyone says. They are different but I don’t think they are bad people. And boy did Simon stick it to Mario and Ramona tonight-YAYYYYY!!!!!!

    Love you Jill/Bobby and Ally!!! And I love that you have done the charity for Creakyjoints. I have met Seth Ginsberg at Arthritis Foundation conferences on more than one occasion and he has done such an amazing job with the organization. Maybe we will see you and Ally at the national conference this summer in Houston!! That would be great for Ally and she could make life-long amazing friendships with other young adults living with arthritis just like I have. :-)

    Gotta run, Jill. Next week’s episode looks like a good one as usual!!

  229. mare said:

    UH–hate to say it but that dress makes you look preggers in my opinion.
    KELLY is just ugly & horsefaced. WHO would actually buy dentures that look like they came from a horse????
    And her character is just as ugly. What she tried to do to Bethany, was disgusting! “You’re late.”-”Too Bad”.–HUH???
    Kelly is just low-life scum. ick.yuk. gross. hard to look at.
    I couldn’t even watch the scene where Kelly tried to tell-off Baethany, but when I did peek, why did it look-like Kelly was crying? (usually she just looks stoned).
    I think she writes for Page Six MAGAZINE which is not “Page Six”.

  230. Samantha Bowman said:

    WOW… Kelly’s blog title this week: “Taking The High Road”… did you see that!?! Bitch, please.

  231. Katherine said:

    Your husband is fabulous! You are too but he handled the situation perfectly. Tell him the whole country is in love with him.

  232. Jessica said:

    I couldn’t believe Mario. I think he may have drank too much. Why is it any of his business what you do all day anyway? Seemed really strange why he would care so much. You shouldn’t have to explain what you do to anyone. I was really horrified watching that attack.

  233. Emma said:

    Goodnight Jill. Thanks for blogging. Best wishes to you, Bobby, Ally and Gloria.

  234. Michelle said:

    I cant stand kelly for a simple second. GET RID OF HER. She re tells her story like a drunk who blacked out and forgot what happen, and she acts like a child with the hot date bit what adult exits a conversation with I have a date..SWEET, your face is old and nasty from tanning ..tell him not to get to close ..trying to contrast your face and the pink boots ..ehhhh not working.
    Jill I love you ..your great Your home looks wonderful from what I can see on tv.. I was in interior design school for 3 years and have a similar style to what you went for.
    Seems like ramona just wants to play tennis, but of course im not there ..cant wait till next week.

  235. Caryn said:

    Holy crap the NJ housewives look scary ~ can’t wait to watch! NY alway be my favorite!!

  236. Ben Vess said:

    Oh damn, Jill…

    So you’re gonna quit liveblogging and start webcamming??? That makes me very sad. :(

    I’m Deaf and I wouldn’t be able to enjoy you as much. But, would you like have someone to transcript it afterwards so I can read what you said on StarCam??

    It’ll be awesome to be able to see you; but, damn!

    Ben

  237. melissa said:

    This episode was great. I could not believe how mean Kelly was to Betthany. I wanted to punch her through my tv! I think she’s a coward trying to come off as all tough. I’m glad you and Betthany have eachother…

  238. Anthony Senzamici said:

    Woah, that was some crazy stuff I must admit. You are absolutely hilarious. You and Bethenny are great to watch. I think Kelly and Ramona are ridiculous. Kelly looks like she’s been wrapped in old leather and Ramona’s eyes look like she could sleep with her eyes open.

    That fight….THAT ‘FIGHT’ with Kelly was a joke. I think Bethenny kept her cool the whole time, she must have just been thrown off from this complete mess of a ‘model’ coming at her. Clearly Bethenny has a lot going for her and Kelly is the one who’s a mess. a….MESS. Did you hear that? Mess. She’s a mess and I hate watching her but now that I’m forced to I can’t stop imagining her not wearing a ‘brawr’ under everything, not that I don’t mind lol but still she could use a tip or two from Bethenny. I go to school in Manhattan and I love watching you guys, actually just you and bethenny and maybe the countess even though sometimes I can’t stand the pretentious BS. You two are some touch gals, come by John Jay one day and suprise me in class lol. April 14th, the big 2-1 woop woop. Haha, I’m getting a little ahead of myself, anyway love the show, your family is amazing, best of luck with everything.

    Tony

  239. Melanie said:

    Wow…Ramona, Mario, and Kelly. Please make them all go away Jill.

  240. Kathy@brazoscowgirl said:

    Jill here is my short version. Kelly is extremely rude, I saw her rude three times (I am very good at reading people:))! From the start I noticed her horse riding was below par, now her social skills lack terribly. If you ask someone to meet you at least be on time.

    Ramona and Mario have huge egos, I always thought it was only Ramona!

    I still love Alex and Simon, they are quirky fun. Bethenny who could be annoyed at a worker who is willing to bar tend at a charity event?

    I do love the blue in your apartment.

  241. jill z said:

    NO NO! I will still be writing but you will be able to write me too! I don’t know what it is called. I promise….you will not miss it! Jill

  242. Connie - Houston said:

    KICK KELLY OFF THE SHOW!!!!!!

  243. Terri said:

    Jill, I enjoy your spirit! Bethenny was terrific and honest as Kelly ranted on. Kelly revolves around Kelly. I love the show, but find that Kelly ruins the enjoyment. No one needs or wants to watch Kelly unravel and distort reality so badly. We enjoy reality not the loss of touch with reality under the guise of reality.

  244. Connie - Houston said:

    Honestly – I found this episode shocking!
    The only calming moment was your beautiful wall paper on kitchen cabinets; loved it!

    I use to not like Ramona – compared to Kelly, Ramona is a Saint!
    At least Ramona has grown and learned to get along better with people.
    She’s actually pretty connected with most of you the last few weeks.
    I’ve been impressed with her growth and ability to handle things better now.

    Is there a site to be supportive of Bethenny? Kalamity Jane! I love that girl!

  245. Lisa Katz said:

    Jill- you were so wronged by what looked like an inibriated Mario. He should try out for broadway if he’s so interested in acting (out loud). You did a good job of restraining yourself and keeping your cool (as well as can be expected).

    Kelly is from outter space and Bethenny should just laugh her off. Just look what’s going on in her personal life. Clearly she has issues.

    Love watching you! You are too cool! Xoxo, Lisa

  246. samatha said:

    Jill… I was so liking the clothes you were wearing but that wallpaper jacket you wore tonight’s episode made me laughed so hard..you really take your job too seriously that you wear them too, but in a not so nice pattern!! Uggh where did you buy that outfit? But I still like you Jill and I agreed with you that Alex and Simon are really nice people despite them being shallow at times.

  247. ann marie said:

    Hi Jill, I think you’re great. I LOVE your apartment. Mario has no class. He was very rude. It was embarrassing. Kelly is mentally unstable and scary. b. handled it great. I can’t believe the way she changed the story. even on the blog she said that B. was waiting for her in the restaurant at the end. She doesn’t care about anyone but herself. I think she is very jealous of B.
    I love your kitchen cabinets by the way. Very sharp

  248. Ben Vess said:

    Ohhh so it’s more like video and a chat room. Awesome!!

    thank you for clearing that up. I’m so happy now :) Thank you!!

    -Ben

  249. lisa said:

    Wohooo Ramona and Mario had a busy tough night that night huh? Jill, please do not wear those outfit of yours, horrible!!

  250. Anthony Senzamici said:

    From my own opinion, I found the way Kelly treated Bethenney was absolutely disrespectful. Every time I see Kelly saying hello to her I feel disgusted because it’s just so fake and duplicated the way she greets and represents herself not only to her but to everyone around her. If I ever saw Kelly on the street in the city I would definitely give her a piece of my mind and most likely point out that her nypd ankle bracelet definitely doesn’t match her weird pink boots.

  251. Ruth said:

    OMG. I love Bethanny, bless her incredible heart and wit! Kelly is a maniac – seriously? She was incredibly rude and high school herself and was projecting onto Bethanny who was acting like a lady through the whole thing. Please please please do not bring Kelly back for another season!! Bethanny is much more famous than Kelly and America loves Bethanny!

  252. Ruth said:

    OH ONE MORE THING! Mario was totally out of line. He showed his true colors tonight. He is insane! Acting like a child.. So animated and he looked totally foolish. He was assaulting you, Jill – I felt fear and wish that Bobby had told your security guy to get in front of Mario. Not so jealous of Ramona having such a good looiking husband now that we can see what he is really like! Bobby is the best~

  253. eric said:

    what a great show honey…..”i’ve seen her name on a chinese menu” that was the best line of the season!

    HAH! That was Tuleh Couture..that was sold out in 2 days and was back ordered for months. STYLE is personal don’t you think? I LOVE that jacket..it is me…I would love to see your closet sweatheart…care to share some personal photos with all of us? I wil be happy to post them!

  256. MARY said:

    I love you and Bethenny. You truly have each others back. The problem with Kelly and Ramona is they are jealous

  257. Jeffrey Osborne said:

    First of all I feel very bad for Luann….the Count SUCKS for doing that….and she seems like she may be a bit more likeable in real life than portrayed on TV..am I right?

    Kelly has gotta go or at least check her ego at the door. What a donkey. Although…divorced mother of two is tough I guess…..I feel bad she acts like a jackass…she thinks she’s so great….im bored already

    Ramona and her husband are extremely boring…they think they are so great…..boring!

    You and Bethenny are really the only ones carrying the show…very funny!

    xx to you and Bobby!

    This is my first time reading your blog….hilarious. My favorite line of the show “Kick his a**…….Kick his a** WAYNE!!!”. You and Bethenny are my favorite and i will be tuning into your blog every tuesday. Watching the show allows me to wind down and take a break from my busy life. Thank you! You are great! *GO TEAM BETHENNY* :-)

    ~steps up on my soapbox~ ok let me start off by saying, I had NEVER heard of Kelly till she got on the show, you know how many models there are? now if you are tyra or cindy crawford, sure who don’t know ya..but she is not that cute for one, and she acts like her time is so much better than anyone else’s..she doesnt do charity , that just blows my mind..my husband is a nobody and yet he went down to new orleans and helped a guy build him a shed, and another guy with running electric, after it was over, they had made a video of the guy he had helped, the guy was so thankful, it made ya cry, so to me, that would of been a better feeling, than anything kelly could even THINK about doing..I hope they get rid of her! I really like you, you say what you think and you dont put up no fronts, and you look like you have a good time while you are doing it, I also enjoy bethany..she is another one, that says what she thinks..like it or not, I think instead of everyone stabbin each other in the back..they should watch out for each others back..shrugs~ but what do I know..I’m a nobody lol~
    ~hang in there girl~ just let what they say roll off your back, and handle it with class…or just tell them to kiss your ass one lol
    ~steps down from my soapbox~
    love and peace baby, love and peace~
    toss’s up the peace sign

    Jill! Way to go stickin it to Mario!I cannot believe Mario went off on you like that. It is one thing to speak your mind on a subjectm, but to be just out and out rude is pathetic.

  262. sandy said:

    You got it right, Mario just wants to be on tv playing tennis because he gets his self worth from that.

    He was aggressive and out of line. Bobby was total class …’security’! And good for Simon calling Romona on her hypocrisy.

    Kelly needs to be drop kicked right out of RHONY. Pathetic mess. She’s the chick who has no friends and has to agressively flirt with men because she is desperate for their approval. I’m sure that her next comment will be how she doesn’t have women friends because they are all jealous of her.

  263. Janice said:

    I am sure it is not only me, but I did not like the way that Mario was talking to you in person. I know you were concerned about the way he talked to you in the email, but his tone was not appropriate. You held your own against him, but what type of man would talk to a lady like that? I hope we get to see you kick his ass in tennis next week! :D

  264. Deb from Iowa said:

    OMG, I live in Iowa on a farm and have better manners than Kelly, Ramona and Mario!!! Then for Kelly to go around and try and get everyone on her side, running her mouth to anyone who will listen, poor Max, he just wanted to get laid! Bethanny held her head high and came out of that meeting with all the class. Class isnt who you know, it is how you conduct yourself in the presence of others.

  265. Nora said:

    Jill – BRAVO (no pun intended) for putting Mario in his place! He really and truly creeps me out…in fact, the whole “Ramario” union is weird and unnatural. I could not believe how he was taunting and mocking you at the party. Very gauche. He also needs to find a new hair color, his looks unnatural, very Arnold Schwartenegger-ish. Can’t believe Ramario is so critical of Silex.

    Love Silex. They come across as two very kind hearted, loving, secure people. Love Bobby and Ally too…what does your mom think of your new spread? Very lovely.

    Bethanny was AMAZING with Kelly, and I loved how she stood her ground and was so articulate. Kelly is very sad, and not at all a “rock star” although I’m sure she is in her own mind…she is creepy too…let’s send her and Ramario away…they deserve each other…

  266. deb\\ said:

    whoa! this episode. Kelly is an mean idiot. Bethenny perfection! Mario really showed his azz. what a jerk. Luann redeemed herself – go Luann! You , of course classy as always. Silex was umm Silex.

  267. Lauren Matles said:

    Jill!

    First off I love you and Bethanny… I f*cking hate KELLY! I wish she would leave the show, everyone that watches hates her guts! SERIOUSLY.. I would try to stay away from her as much as possible she seems like a toxic manipultive person and wasn’t she recently arrested? Can we say basket case?
    Anywho XOXO

  268. Loren said:

    OMG! Jill I heart you and Bethenny or as my circle of girlfriends who are addicted to the show call her ‘BFRANK’! I cannot stand Kelly, please someone tell me why she was added? the shows dynamic was fine before her and if it ain’t broke don’t fix it! Alex and Simon’s child rearing abilities are still questionable, however, they have become a little more likable (although delusional, I love the background music that is played when they are in scenes together). Did they really believe that the house would be finished in a month?! I was just starting to not cringe when Ramona came on the screen and then she showed her a@# tonight?! What is her issue? The whole LuAnn and Kelly/Ramona and Kelly love fest is so phony. I’m so glad we have you, Brad and B. Frank to keep us entertained. I absolutely would watch a spin off of you and Brad as long as your mom was a featured guest. P.S. I one day hope to have the balanced relationship you and Bobby seem to share. As for Mario saying you don’t work- he’s a moron, you are more than a REAL HOUSEWIFE, you are a BRAND.

  269. Caroline Goldman-Cassagnol said:

    Jill, First of all, you are really fabulous; totally natural on the show and the reason we all watch. Just wanted to impart some info on Mario. My older brother was a Davis Cup alternate in the late 19602-early 1970s and played the circuit for many years. I grew up with all the best players of the day because of him: Charlie Passarell, Stan Smith, Arthur Ashe, etc, and am still friends with many of them. NO ONE has heard of Mario… no one! Certainly he never played the big tournaments such as Forest Hills or Wimbledon, or never got beyond the qualifying rounds. On the show, he was briefly shown playing and his strokes are pathetic; his attempts at forehand spin were pure comedy. Moreover, he was obnoxious and rude in his treatment of you.I wouldn’ stoop to playing a match with him, nor would I give him the time of day. He and Ramona are fools. Wanted you o know you’re much admired.

  270. Dayla said:

    I just love you . You are so quick witt. And I do agree you and Brad need a spinoff I would defiatley watch it . I love the fabric in the kitchen . Would you and brad please come decorate my house . oh wait the would be a great spinoff you and brad go to peoples homes and tell them how to decorate . I would love to be yall’s first clients. i do agree Mario and ramona are so fake they always seem like they are speaking from a script.

  271. Anthony Senzamici said:

    Your clothes are pretty sweet. Idk what that girl was thinking.

    All I need is my leather jacket and maw skinny jeans.

    One thing that bothered me was seeing the governor on the show a few weeks back, he’s not my favorite person.

  272. chelsea said:

    omg i laughed so hard at kelly. she looks like an idiot, thats not even high school behavior, its MIDDLE SCHOOL behavior. i feel bad for her children. actually, i feel bad for other kids that befriend, they’re going to be just as rude as their mother. oh wait, have i crossed the line? oops…

    ive really warmed up to simon and alex, ramona needs to grow up and get over herself. no body cared if alex was topless in inTouch magazine. getting upset about that makes ramona look shallow and fake. not good.

    i love bethenny, she handled the kelly situation so well, i really commend her.

    and jill, your house is beautiful, don’t move!

  273. Ruthees said:

    Mario made an ass of himself but then again he looked like he had had one too many … after all if you wanted to play tennis with Ramona why should YOU pick who would be on your team? I though you showed great restraint when he was being verbally abusive to you.. I think the camera did show it all… Ramona embarrasses herself… as for Kelly, Bethenny has a lot more class.. when Kelly met max in the bar doesn’t she realize he was taking an opportunity to get her into the bedroom… she embarrassed herself also.. acting like you are 20 doesn’t make you twenty .. and all she has is looks. she’s not smart.. nor savvy.. and couldn’t make it if she did not have looks… there is a reason she is freindlier with Ramona.. Ramona is the only one that is less intelligent than she is. Love ya.. say hi to Bethenny.. you got class..

  274. Kathy said:

    Kelly acts like someone with a drug problem. LOVE Bethanney and Jill. And, I’m not even a fan of the show. Happened to catch tonight’s episode with Kelly’s outrageously bad behavior and Bethanney’s flawless reaction. Decided to Google to see just exactly who all of these people were. I’m a Jill and Bethanney fan now, and might even be inspired enough to lose these extra 40 lbs.!!! Thanks, Girls!

  276. abra said:

    Wow! Where to begin. You appear to be a nice, middle class, lady, but this week everyone hit new lows, of course that is the reason I watch this show! The battling Singers are beyond amendment, why would you ever be lured into a rematch with Mario of all people? What does he get out of playing tennis against you? I think you are right – air time. Was he on drugs during that Page Six party? He was picking fights with everyone! I don’t know whether he can play tennis or not, but I guess we will find out next week.

    I really think you mistreat Brad, who is your husband’s embloyee – I can’t wait for his harassment lawsuit against “Zarin Fabics,” look at the wealth of proof he has of your maltreatment of him. You are absolutely declasse when you interact with him, especially when he does all of these “favors” for you. Class it up with the help a bit.

    If you think Bethenny comes off well in her exchanges with Kelly, or anyone else for that matter, well, I just don’t know where you were raised. The two of them make for good TV, but a real friend would tell Bethenny to leave the show and get some serious psychiatric help. The tough exterior and crying episodes are not good signs of anything.

    The fact that Alex and Simon are coming off so well this year is indicative of the fact that the rest of you are a hot mess!

    By the way, Zarin redecorated my townhouse a number of years ago, but I doubt I would go to them today in light of the fact that you repeatedly tell us each week that your designer, Brad, is incompetent.

  277. T.C. Simmons said:

    Jill,

    Here is a good charity to start…..have Bobby donate the air fare for Mario to fly down here to Charleston, SC to take a few classes on how gentlemen should act at social events. Poor Mario needs some refinement.1000 bucks says he still has video of McEnroe from the 80′s….. tantrum porn.

    Bobby…cool as usual….”Need some help, baby”……well said sir!

    By the way are those custom ties? NICE!

    Kelly is becoming more and more horse like each episode, watching her bill and coo with that euro-trash was hysterical, I see next week she goes on another date with him, This wasn’t the putz she belted, she really like those skinny hygene questionable euro-boys

    What a SKANK, and she still needs to lay off the brozer or spray tan she’s too blotchy!

    I love how Bethanny was just looking at her like ” this bitch is out of her tree!?!?!?”

  279. Betty Wright said:

    Why is Mr. Van Kampen McCord leaving comments on your blog? My God, isn’t being on television enough for you, Simon? I had told Jill last season that I would not watch this season if you and Alex were on but I have watched a couple of episodes. However, when I watched the episode in the Hamptons, I had to take a prescription anti-nausea pill to get through it. I’m not joking, I really did.
    Jill, please read by comment to Bethenny about tonight’s episode regarding Kelly’s behavior. Kelly is truly UGLY, in every sense of the word. My favorite comment to Bethenny is that Kelly thinks her ass is a birthday cake and everyone wants a piece of it!
    I usually don’t talk that way but Kelly is the kind of person who is useless… she makes no contribution to the human race and doesn’t care to.

  280. Barbara Gordon said:

    WTF is wrong with the Singers?? Boy, I always had a feeling that anyone who could be married to Ramona had to have a screw loose, but OMG! What is WRONG with that man?? I can’t believe the way he talked to you. What an a**hole!!

    And Ramona is such a hypocrite. She acts so trashy, but judges everyone else. Guess there are no mirrors in her home.

    And speaking of hypocrites, Kelly gives Ramona the “let it go” speech, and then proceeds to force a confrontation with Bethenny. Kelly definitely chose the wrong girl to get strong with. Bethenny definitely held her own, and Kelly just looked like an inconsiderate psycho who is a legend in her own mind. Get RID of her. She’s not cute, she’s not fascinating, and she’s BORING. And she needs to ease upon the tanning – she’s already got the leather look.

    I hope you kick butt in the tennis match.

  281. Betty Wright said:

    I just left a message asking (among other things) why Mr. Van Kampen McCord was commenting on your blog? However, I guess the rest of my comments were too much…. since when I returned to the computer after a few minutes, my comments were deleted. I really would like for you to read it, Jill. One of the things I had to say about Kelly was the best assessement of Kelly that’s I heard or read!

  282. Tracey said:

    Jill, from the west coast here. Sent an earlier comment but dont see it up. Just noted how I love Bobby. Watching him go through the apartment and looking at the kitchen cabinets. He’s the real deal and a reminder to us girls what we really want from a guy. The last few weeks have made me laugh so hard. There have been comments and scenes that are so over the top that I find myself laughing days later. For ex: just seeing Simon laying on that table for his message..rolls me or Romona comparing eye sight with the governor still gets me. Your on there a couple times as well. You cannot write this stuff. Anyways I am putting together a sound clip 3 minute piece that already is hysterical to hear. When Im done I will get you a copy. It has this seasons top “she didnt just say that” stuff.

  283. Lynn said:

    OMG please get rid of that horrible Kelly! She looks horrible does she look at herself before going on TV. That concealer under her eyes and why does she look so glossy. You have a job and Mario should stop talking. Ramona what the heck does she do for a living, other than design some jewelery, under her HUSBANDS company, which from what we saw was only once. Bethany had the class along with you and Luann. I do feel bad for Luann. Ramona anyone should be honored to play tennis with Mario? Yeah right, you can go to your local tennis club and play with a pro, probably younger, cuter and with more class than your verbally abusive husband. You were Great Jill, you were and are a class act!

  284. Susan said:

    As far as Kelly’s behavior, I have to disagree with something you said. Popular girls in high school do not gain that status via their resources, of which they have practically none except for their parents. To that end, high schoolers tend to rightfully disengage from their parents as is age appropriate.
    Therefore, popular high school girls generally gain that status because of wit, ease, and ability to reach out and include. If, and I’m only guessing, Kelly thinks that popularity is solely an offshoot of resources, then I’ve no doubt she was not popular in high school and, therefore, didn’t learn a hoot about how to achieve such a feat.
    That said, Kelly would have been carrying Bethanny’s books in high school instead of behaving like a shrew in her middle age.

    Seems Mario missed the lessons on how to gain popularity as well.

    Sincerely,
    Former Popular Girl in High School Who Now, At Middle Age, Is Blogging, But Happy She Remembered The Lessons.

  286. Connie - Houston said:

    All of my girlfriends watched it & agreed with me that Kelly seemed on a drug, cocain. She didn’t make sensible points but later remembered the event as though she had been calm and Bethenny had been eradict.

    Every time Kelly repeated the event, she embellished it also.
    We don’t know how Bethenny kept so calm. Kelly actually brought up the old boyfriend issue by saying, “Do you want to go down Memory Lane?”.
    That fascinated all of us! Kelly DID remember the night she first met Bethenny after all! How “cute”!!!

    It’s just appalling that this woman is on the show. She doesn’t want her name on Charities as she has her own, but – oh, wait! She doesn’t have any Charities she tells Luann. It was nice to see the Countess LuAnn say Bethenny had a good heart because she does. It’s obvious this new non-housewife on the show is seeking mostly attention and wanting to be a “rock star” which she loves to say. No joke, Kelly is the biggest Social Climber ever put on Reality TV. We’re very disappointed in the casting of her.

  287. Greg said:

    Hi Jill,

    West Coast chiming in!

    I don’t write on well-known people’s blogs but I’ll make an exception here.

    Mario was incredibly rude to you at that party. Since it would’ve been uncouth for you to slap him right then and there, I think Bobby should’ve stepped in (I’m sure he heard what we heard). Not because you can’t handle yourself – but because he was taking a physically aggressive stance and the stuff he was saying was something I feel it’s appropriate for a spouse to step in and put an end to. (2-against-1 tends to stop the “1″).

    I was surprised to see a couple of duffer strokes from Mario – selective editing? – when Ramona & Bethenny were watching. Being a tennis player myself (I played for my college tennis team back in the Jurassic Era of wood racquets; I’m several years younger than Mario), I was surprised because I know he’s a Top 5 nationally-ranked player in his age group. That’s actually pretty impressive stuff and one doesn’t think of people ranked that high playing awkward strokes.

    I’m surprised you had a problem with J&R – they are a very well-respected company in the Techie world (they tend to charge list price for stuff though, so I don’t order from them, too easy to order elsewhere but in your case they are pretty local to you). I hope you got that straightened out.

    Last but not least – Bethenny totally PWNED Kelly, who proved she is vacuous and dumb as a pile of rocks. How did Columbia let that woman out with a degree? (Or in, for that matter) Did she, “like”, kill all her, “like”, brain cells with, “like”, Blow afterwards? She’s a complete moron, Bethenny was arguing with someone who was completely unarmed. As for that guy, you can say “HOTTTTTT” but he was dense, too. They’re a match made in Dumbo heaven if you ask me, complete with pink Wellies (WTF?). How DARE Kelly say “I’m up here and you’re down there” to Bethenny?

    Blowing Smoke Up Your @ss Dept.: You are my favorite of all of them. The most down-to-Earth and the least self-centered. Thanks for being a bastion of sanity on the show.

    P.S. Oh, and btw – I paused the DVR on your blurred-out tennis partner – good luck with Pete Sampras next week ;)

  288. Sonya said:

    I am so glad I found this blog! Okay here is my two cents…..Housewives of New York is the only ‘Housewives’ show I watch. I just love you Jill, as well as Bethenny, and LuAnn. Alex is interesting. Ramona is good for some drama (I suppose you need drama for T.V., right?). But, why on Earth did they add Kelly? She is such a bubble head (“cute”, constant lateness, holier then thou, etc).

    I am so sorry, Jill, that you had to deal with Mario at the party. He was like a crazed lunatic. You showed more restraint then I ever could.

    housewife in Las Vegas-hehe,
    Sonya

  289. Doesn't matter said:

    Jill-
    I love your husband. If you ever decide to leave him, he is mine….and I will take him without $. There is no greater tribute to his faith in you than his restrained reassurance of your abiltiy to deal with Mario in tonight’s episode. At the time, you could not have possibly known how closely he was watching you and waiting to see if you needed him to step in. But, he trusted your strength and didn’t step in. That was more powerful than all the “I love you’s” you could ever receive. All joking aside, I have a husband of 26 years and he is just like that….how lucky we are to have wingmen so that we can fly!!

  290. Liz said:

    why delete your thoughts i love it

  291. jeanne said:

    Every Tuesday I stay up way too late reading the blogs-I love both your and Bethenny’s honest approach. You always end up making me laugh. I think Bobby is a saint!! and I am Glad you appreciate him it is great to see a happy couple. Sorry to hear about the Countess’ divorce-but saw that coming- he is never around. Love your new digs & can’t wait to see the finished project. You & Brad should have your own decorating show-you could teach people how to use fabrics & texture-Fabric truly is the key to good design.
    Now onto B vs K, Kelly’s blog says Bethenny was waiting for her down stairs, what a crock as Kelly left first and is clearly lying in wait to hurl another HS comment at Bethenny. B should just be thankful Kelly did not assualt her like she did her boy toy. Maybe it is the boots she borrowed from her daughter that makes her act so childish. Bethenny handled herself well.
    Can’t wait till next week to see who you bring for your tennis partner. Why does Mario want to beat you so bad- If he is such a pro why is he bothering?? Ramona is a hypocrite who sells crap to TJ Maxx. Who is she to judge what work is? I stay home with my kids and I work my ass off- even if I do squeeze in a lunch or some travel with my husband.
    I’ll keep watching because you and Bethenny make me laugh and give me style tips. Go team Jill & Team Bethenny

  294. Keri said:

    I love Bethenny as well she seems a little hard that is only because she has had it rough. I think our countess needs a little reality, unfortunately I have heard about her divorce so I think this may snap her out of it a bit. Kelly seems like the fatal attraction type, she had no reason to confront Bethenny. As for Ramona I have no words to describe her other then a fish in and out and back in of water. Jill you are always my favorite, trying to help on every angle. Keep up the good work.

  295. Carole said:

    You are the best. You tell it like it is with no B.S. You are like a nice Simon Cowell. I grew up with girls like you on Long Island (that is not an insult) and you so remind me of them. I think what Kelly did to Bethenny was totally inappropriate (her favorite word). Kelly has no class. She is mean-spirited and I think jealous of Bethenny. Ramona talks too much and yes who cares about her aging husband and his tennis.Your husband Bobby is the man. Does he have a brother? : )

  297. Kim said:

    I am so addicted to your show! This is a real reality show — you can’t script some of the behavior I see because egos are involved! Ramona, from day one, comes off as being the most obnoxious person ever! I always thought that she was lucky that she had a husband because I never understood how anybody would put up with her. After last night’s episode with Mario attacking you, it is crystal clear — they are made for each other! You held your own (as you always do) and he made a complete ass out of himself. I love you and Bethenny and you two make me laugh out loud. The other girls (that includes Simon) are entertaining kind of like a train wreck — you find yourself watching but can’t look away. Kelly is a mess and very insecure. Does she not know that the cameras are following her and that her version differs from the filmed version? Bethenny showed a LOT of class when Kelly said she was “up here and Bethenny was down there”! Most females would come unglued. You two are the reason I watch! Thanks for entertaining this housewife!!!!!!!

  298. Rich said:

    Jill, I totally love you and you are the star of this show (Uh, go to the Countess’ website where claims she is the star of the show; uh wait, I meant go to LuAnn the Divorcee’s website…) OMG, I hope for Kelly’s sake she was totally strung out on coke, because at least that would, in part, explain her erratic and CRAAAAZY behavior in the showdown with Bethanny. Would someone please explain why Kelly’s face looks soooooo busted?

  299. Amy Sip said:

    Hello Jill Zarin!

    Can I just say, I would like to be you “when I grow up?” You and Bethenny are fab. That Ramona is so twitchy – when she dances it is like she has no bendable joints.

    I hear the Countess is seperated from the Count. How is she going to correct people on their introductions now? Will it be The FORMER Countess?

    And Kelly. Puh-lease. What a spaz. Gotta love how she was acting like she had only met Bethenny twice, and then said Bethenny came to her home with someone who was “hired.” She’s a bigger ass than the ones on the horses she rides.

    I work for a non-profit doing events, and have to deal with wanna-bes like Kelly all the time… what saves us are the actual caring “doers” like you, and Bethenny! Thank you for all of your good work and making a difference in the lives of others!

    Love ya!

    Dear Jill:

    OMG!!! I loved your response to Mario he is such a moron. He acts just like his wife, you were cool, calm and collected. I would have punched that (I am going to use spanish here) MARICON (PRON MA- DI- CON) OUT.
    You were hilarious!!! He looked like such a fool. Then to top it all off Simon tells them off and yells hypocrite!!! I was screaming laughing. I hope you know you put a smile on my crazy day .
    With a stepson who is hospitalized for mental illness and my other son with adhd you really helped me get through today.

  303. sweets said:

    I think Kelly is having lazer treatments on her face…that is what they look like..plus the her eyes being so white around them..that is because they dont get close to the eyes!

  304. Adored said:

    Jill, you and Bethenny are like two strong beacons of light in a sea of insanity. These other women are just messes, not even “hot” messes mind you. Bethenny, you handled yourself like a pro with Kelly. Can you say Norman Bates?!?!? I would be packing heat next time she asks you to meet her for a drink, you never know what corner she’ll be lurking around waiting to attack. My god are we even sure she’s 100% female? Jill I think Mario couldn’t wait to corner you with cameras around so he could give you what all and then some. The man is crazier than his silly a$$ wife who dances by herself and tells the blind mayor of New York she’s legally blind herself. Who was she raised by Anna Nicole? I’m sorry but these people are about as real as the spray tans the sport. Jill, Bobby is a class act all the way and you can see how much you love, adore and appreciate him. He’s truly a gem. Keep up the good work ladies and keep having fun you two crazy chicitas I ADORE YOU BOTH!!!

  305. Gabby said:

    You cracked me up with your “te te te te te” to correct Brad’s self-patting- was worth a replay. You and Bethenny kill me with your lightning fast comments- love it at the end of a long day! This episode was loaded and full of embarrassing behavior (Kelly, Mario) and should make for an exciting reunion show!!

    You and Bethany remind me of why NYC women are unique in all the world and make the best friends. I’ve lived away from NYC for the last 20 years and I miss the smart women who tell it like it is. The others are great comediennes – without realizing it – but you two would be great to have on speed-dial. Much happiness and success to you and yours.
    PS LOVED your parents – we all need a Gloria in our corner!!

    Jill,

    There is just one word to describe you and Bobby…adorable! You are truly a lucky woman to have such a giving and loving husband. Also, Alli gets more and more beautiful with each show. With so much focus on Bethenny this season, I miss seeing you as much. You will always be my favorite.

  308. Jane Ann from Austin, TX said:

    I love you and Bethany so much. I saw y’all on Chelsea Lately and y’all were hilarious. I cannot stand Kelly. She may be really nice in person, but I’m so annoyed with how many times she describes all of her “close friends” as AMAZING AMAZING PERSON….yuck!!! I was so annoyed w/Simon and Alex but I think Kelly has taken their place. Mario was an ass to you. I can’t believe he did that. I hope he looks back at the episode and is truly sorry for how he acted. They are very volatile people and seem to always pick arguments. Anyway, you and Bethany make my week. You seem like a truly happily married successful woman. Ally is precious. I thought LuAnn and Ramona at least were on Bethany’s side about how Kelly called her out like that. Anyway, again, y’all are awewsome. Thanks for the great entertainment!

    Jill: Bobby is a jewel of a husband! The two of you are so blessed to have each other! Your newly redecorated penthouse is amazing and Brad is truely a talanted designer. Wish I could afford him to turn our modest brick ranch into a dazzling brick ranch! What on earth was Mario’s problem on last night’s episode? His behavior was so shocking and you did not deserve that treatment. I can hardly wait to see who your surprise tennis partner is next week!

  310. PATTY said:

    WAS EVERYBODY DRUNK IN THIS EPISODE? MAYBE NOT EVERYBODY, JUST KELLY & MARIO. KELLY’S DRESSING DOWN OF BETHENNEY WAS JUST CRAZY. SHE MADE ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE AT ALL. BETHENNEY COULDN’T EVEN ANSWER HER ACCUSATIONS BECAUSE SHE MADE NO SENSE. BETHENNEY HANDLED HERSELF VERY WELL IN THIS SITUATION. I LOVED THE LOOK ON HER FACE. AND THEN THERE WAS MARIO. HE MADE A TOTAL A** OF HIMSELF. I DONT KNOW HOW YOU KEPT FROM SLAPPING HIM SILLY. OR SHOULD I SAY SENSIBLE SINCE HE WAS OBVIOUSLY ALREADY SILLY. AND AT LEAST SIMON AND ALEX FINALLY GOT TO TELL THE SINGERS WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF THEM FOR A CHANGE. DID ALL OF YOU LADIES KNOW EACH OTHER PRIOR TO THE SHOW?

  311. Josie said:

    Jill, I love you and all you stand for. You’re an amazing lady and have
    more class than all of the other housewives. Ramona apparently is very jealous of you, she keeps feeding Mario with tales about you. She’s a big FAKE. Your true friend is Bethenny. That woman cares so much for you and your family and I cannot believe how low and white trash Kelly is. She really showed her true colors on last nights episode. Take care and keep it real.

  312. Josie said:

    JILL TELL BRAVO YOU NEED YOUR OWN SHOW… YOU’RE THE BEST AND THE STAR OF THE SHOW.

  313. Lisa said:

    I had the best time watching the show last night. You guys are a hot mess and you make my day. I can’t wait for next week’s show. Keep up the good work. I am excited to see your new digs. Take pictures for your site.

  314. WB said:

    Holy Cow, that was entertaining!

    Kelly is delusional and not real bright. I don’t know how Bethanny stopped herself from laughing while Kelly was going off on her irrational ranting (i especially loved how she accused Bethanny of stalking her in her blog this week….did she not WATCH the show herself and see the timeline?) Mario is an arrogant assh*le who oogles every woman who walks by him. I don’t know how you stopped from poking his arrogant stinking eyes out. Keep him away from your daughter (I’m serious).

    Your daughter is BEAUTIFUL and I certainly hope she reads how many people have said that. It’s a really tough age-I don’t care how beautiful girls are at that age, all they see are their faults.

    Bobby is a teddy bear- definitely a keeper.

  315. dorinda said:

    Would love to know where to purchase the rhinstone necklace by ZANG TOI. Luv you and Bethanny. Kellie is rude, uuuugly and so self absorbed. She makes Ramona and Alex and Luann look like saints. Kick that hos butt Bethanny.

  316. Janet said:

    Jill,

    I live in the Hamptons, and honestly NO ONE KNOWS OR CARES ABOUT KELLY!!!!

    Everyone I know loves Bethenny, and you of course.

    Bottom of the totem pole my ass.

    –Janet

    Please call Zangs showroom at 212-757-1200. Good luck! Jill

  318. Mamamia said:

    First of all, you are such an inspiration! A working Mom and wife. I get a kick out of your personality with the other ladies. You have a realness quality and brute honesty, and a big heart. Your work towards charitys should inspire us all. I volunteer and it’s the best feeling in the world to make a difference in someone’s life.
    I’m sorry to have had to watch Mario, but it was sweet how Bobby stood fast by for you. That’s romance. It’s nice to see you two interact in a loving way.
    I enjoy the view from the couch, I don’t know how, but you make it look very easy from where I sit! Thank you for making a difference, I look forward to next week!

  319. Andrea said:

    Jill,

    After watching Orange County (and Atlanta’s) housewives, I wasn’t sure if I could stomach New York’s. However, at the insistence of my mother, I finally TiVo’d it, including last season’s.

    I’ll tell you right now, I am thrilled that I did! You really are what I consider a perfect definition of classy. Between yourself and Bethenny, I honestly think you’re the saving graces of that show. Without the two of you, there would really be no redeemable qualities of anyone there.

    Your charities are amazing, and I honestly wish you and your daughter the best of luck in your endeavors. Although I doubt either of you need it, since you’re hard working women! Cheers to you, continue being a great example of how a strong woman should behave while maintaining their dignity and poise. I honestly think the Countess could learn a lesson or two from you!

    Your relationship with your husband also makes me smile! It’s refreshing to see that on TV, especially since it’s not so feigned.

    (And good gracious, don’t bother with Kelly anymore. What a disaster that woman is!)

  320. Midwestern Girl said:

    Jill, just keep being yourself. You’re fabulous!
    I have fallen in love with Gloria, too. I wonder what advice SHE would give Kelly? I’m so glad that Kelly’s daughters are too young to watch RHONY. Her parents must be mortified.

    On a lighter note, you should go over to jezebel.com and check out the Real Houswives vs.Judge Judy parody that they’ve posted. I think it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read in my life! (Don’t worry. You’ll laugh, too.)

  321. antigone said:

    Jill:

    I would love to know how you went from Assistant Buyer at Filene’s to trophy wife. You are a sweetie, but Bobby really indulges you and I hope you let him know how much you appreciate that.

    Your daughter is beautiful inside and out. She shows a true interest in other people. I always love seeing her on the show.

  322. Pati from South Texas said:

    Jill,

    Might I say that I am addicted, once again to the show. I have two little ones and a husband, but if anyone interrupts me 9:00, Tuesdays–they’re in trouble!! I thought Mario was totally out of line at the page six party-truly not a gentleman and obviously wanted all eyes on him (desperate attempt for attention)! Something about him is not trusting-Ramona should keep her eye on him-this not difficult, being they are always WIDE open! haha!!
    I think you and Bethanny are absolutely fabulosas!!!!Both of you make the show and I probably would not watch if you two were not on.
    BTW, you look wonderful! All of Zang Toi’s dresses looked fantastic on you! You are really shining! Take it all in and enjoy!

    Ciao!!

  323. Pema said:

    Hi Jill,
    I love watching you on Housewives, Bobby is a sweetie too. I dont have a facebook account, but please tell Bobby I he has a fan in San Diego. He is such a kind man the way he cares for you and your lovely daughter is very touching, perhaps he could give husbands lessons! (he’s very cute too). Your mom is a doll.
    Housewives of New York is my favorite of the Housewives shows. It gives someone like me a view into the mind set of ladies in NY. I thought there would be a bigger cultural difference, but there really isnt. I can relate to all the women in the show save Ramona and Kelly.
    Best wishes to you and your family!

  324. atdleft said:

    Jill,

    I FINALLY caught your Chelsea Lately interview, and I was laughing so hard the whole time! You and Bethenny are hilarious.

    I missed the show on Tuesday, but I’m hoping to catch it either online or on Bravo soon. So far, I’m a little concerned by what I’ve been reading about it. Did Mario really go batsh*t crazy on you at a party? Did Kelly really go crazy on Bethenny? What’s with the other housewives?

    Well, I hope you & B stay classy. As always, your #1 gay BFF/fan from Orange County can’t wait to see what happens next on and off the show! :-)

  325. Tammy said:

    I have to agree – it seems like everyone was drinking before they got on camera. Kelly, Mario, Simon. Lay off the booze. It makes you look crazy.

    Jill – please drink something other than Diet Coke to get sugar. A little juice goes a long way if you’re feeling light-headed.

  326. Michelle said:

    Jill and Bethenny are the only normal ones on this show! Love you guys! I want to be like the both of you..Bethenny there is nothing wrong with you! Any man would be lucky to have you. I didn’t get married until I was 36 mainly because I wouldn’t settle..you shouldn’t either and don’t worry, the person who is right for you is on his way! Have fun with your life, I only wish I had a life like yours! And Jill, I swear you are my long lost twin (personality wise)! You are cool and have a great outlook on life! Keep doing what you’re doing! KEEP IT REAL GIRLS!

  327. Danni said:

    Jill,

    First of all let me say Mario and Ramona are very jealous. They only wish to have the things you do. You taught women a very valuable lesson, never let them see you sweat.

    Allie is a precious young lady. She should be on the cover of a magazine. Her eyes are beautiful!

  328. Deborah Jensen said:

    Mario is a disgrace as is Kelly and hopefully they each learned someothing when they saw the actual footage. Jill you were a model of restraint as was Bethenny. Ramona has always been the trashiest and least appropriately dressed (who could forget her on the dancefloor or her daughter begging her to dress differeently)but she had the nerve to chastise Alex van Kempen for nude photos! Jill you were wonderful as always, totally beyond reproach. I just cannot get over Mario’s behavior. My father and my late husband are rolling in their graves that a man could treat a woman that way for ANY reason, let alone a tennis match.

  329. TeamJillandBethenny said:

    Dear Jill,

    I so look forward to your show – you make me laugh because I grew up on Long Island and I have lived in NY for many years. I love that you spend so much time doing charity work, and if you spend big bucks at ZT’s salon, well – you have it to spend and a Lady’s gotta DRESS, ya know? Bobby is a delight.

    In terms of Mario attacking you – it’s obviously not your problem. There’s something about him wanting more face time on camera going on and he acted like he was tanked up. I thought the same about Kelly.

    Kelly’s behavior reminded me of a VERY similar situation I had when I was ‘attacked’ in the very same way, by a person I later found out was high on cocaine. I’m not saying Kelly was on coke, but…the style of ‘attack’ was virtually the same as my experience. It gave the person who did it to me (an entertainer) a lofty sense of self importance, and a complete inability to judge anything resembling reality.

    I reacted the exact same way as Bethenny, because when you are looking down the gun barrel at the eyes of crazy…you want to move slowly and not startle it into a stampede.

    I love the fast paced banter with Brad (I have many gay husbands myself), and the way you love Ally and let her roam as well – you are a great example of someone who loves their life and all it entails, and still appreciates the opportunity to work for charities and be a great friend.

    Congratulations – I hope I’m as good a ‘connector’, friend, and mother when the time comes.

  330. linda said:

    Ohh my girl, I just love your family so much.You have raised such a sweet,inteligent daughter and it is so refreshing to see a young women that is privilaged to behave the way Ally does.I love love you and Bethenny and you guys could have your own show.You both are hillarious.Have to say that Bobby is a doll and you two balance each other so well.Just added him as a friend on FB,oh but I cant find you on twitter, hmm.It says no longer avail.Anyway had to show my support.You have soo many fans and we adore you ..

  331. Sherrill said:

    Hey there, didn’t Alex and Simon say that the nude photos did NOT revel anything below the waist. Wow, they must have seen different photos that what is out on the web. Where her boobs airbrushed in that photo? Everything she wears on the show she is flatter than a pancake. In fact, I may have a relative that is 12 that has more than her. She lies alot!!

  332. Nancy Betanzos said:

    Jill,
    I actually had to call your store to find out how to do this because I am the furthest person from a groupie you could ever meet. I have felt compelled to touch base with you because there is something about you that is so different from every other person on the show there is more substance…and yet on the surface you seem the same if not looking very carefully. You do not know me, so my opinion should matter little or less since that is the case, but you are an amazing mother and friend and the most honest one (shy of Bethenny) that is there. I watch no soaps, no ongoing sagas, nothing to waste time I do not have, almost everything about you makes me smile (no, not a stalker) I lost my brother who was 41 in October of 2005, my sister who was my best friend and whom I spoke to every day at least 3 times a day was diagnosed with lung cancer 6 months later, they said the got it and she went to Stony Brook Hospital with a headache in July of 2007 and was told she had inoperable brain cancer and could live anywhere from 6 months to a year, she was gone 4 weeks later. my mother who in one year just buried a son, could not deal with my sister and got in bed, never even went to the wake and stayed there at 72 years old until her laying there became pneumonia and eventually decubitis ulcers and ultimatley death. I WILL NOT go into anymore details,suffice to say you would think there was no end and a bad beginning…..land the plane Nancy, as my sister would say, and get to the point, my sister suffered prior to her last diagnosis with severe Rheumotoid arthritis. Lynda would take methatrexate to help her which ultimately made her so ill for the weeks that she had to take it that it was heartbreaking. I wish we had the means to do charities for her because I often wonder if we had could I have saved her, somehow. I was the one in the room when everyone left telling her it was absolutley NOT alright to go, while my brother was cradling her saying it was okay, he had to take me for a walk and tell me she could not go anywhere because she knew I was not ready, we had a pact our whole lives, guess what they don’t work. I have digressed enough, I don’t have the things you have or the money, but I can cook and have a great rapport with people, if you ever need someone to help you with a charity in the way backgrouind so you do not think I have an agenda, please allow me the privledge to help Ali. There is something so real about you down to your clear feelings on what you have, but that isn’t bragging ,it is what it is. By the way you are far more beautiful than Ramona ( as if it really mattered, but just for the record) and that Indian dress to die for…. I am 49 years old and have no idea what it would be like to not worry about every penny or how to pay my bills, would I wish that away from you, absolutely not, good for you. Being mad other people have things takes the joy out of what we do have. I hope you get the chance to read this and understand, you are a great mom, and daughter and sister and all that other crap, is background noise, albiet nice noise, but still background. Take care of Betenney she is a sweetheart…..by the way my name is Nancy…..

  333. MS.CANDY said:

    I LOVE THAT YOU ARE WORKING TO RAISE MONEY FOR FOSTER CHILDREN. I MYSELF ADOPTED 3 KIDS AND I AM VERY INTERESTED IN HELPING WITH THIS CHARITY. I WOULD LOVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN CALIFORNIA WHERE I LIVE. IF THERE IS ANY INFO THAT YOU CAN SHARE I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT.

  334. mel said:

    jill and bethanny need their own makeover show–jill will make over your house and wardrobe, bethenny will do your kitchen (pantry, fridge) and diet. jill will give a few pointers on interior design, etc, bethanny on eating healthy and exercise. then they can both take the person shopping for clothes, and a new haircut, etc.. they could even do it as a charity thing– choose a deserving person who maybe works in the non-profit world, or something along those lines. people would love, it and i would love to see them outside of nyc– i think they would have a blast.

    Hi Jill

    I am hooked!!!NYC is the only reality I watch…..I must say I was shocked by Marios brhavior…Why is he on the show?????Ramona always sas he is soooo busy; but he has been appearing more often..I watch this show for The Housewives…Not to see a crazy husband

    You guys need to talk Bravo into allowing us to watch the full episode later in the week. I love the show and would like to watch it over or see the ones I’ve missed when I want to see them.

  340. Joanne said:

    Hello Jill….first time blogging so here goes…..I think you and Bethany are what makes the show….you both are real and you are a very caring and loving person… it just shows….on how you treat people… you are very forgiving…..I loved you mother too….so now we know where you get your loving heart from……I was shocked to see how Mario carried on….He seemed abusive (drinks to much)…..Kelly doesn’t seem to fit in very well…..too pretenious and the way she went after Bethany with her hand gestering you’re down here and I’m up here….woooo…..I can’t see Kelly lasting on the show….people love Bethany, like your mother you want to see Bethany make it…whatever she does…..her book….cooking…..modeling…..you and Bethany are what makes the show……YOU GO GIRL!

  341. Pamela Bairnsfather said:

    Jill, I only read a couple of the other comments
    but it seems like they all feel the same way I do.I love you and Bethaney. I did not care for the other HOusewives shows and almost did not view the New York version. However,my love for New York changed my mind. I am so glad I did. I love the show and tape them so I can see them anytime.
    You and Bethaney are the classy ones. Bethaney is so beautiful and so funny. I could enjoy spending the day with her shopping. And you, you are the one that I would want to be if I could pick one out of all the ladies to become. Your gorgeous, intelligent, and have a great life. Not just the money and the life style, which believe me that is great also, but you have the family and friends. I love Bobby. He is so handsome and he cares so much for you.And Ally is precious and beautiful. She is going to have the style and grace of her mommie when she reaches womanhood. I also love your mother. She is a character. I am not Jewish but I have many Jewish friends and she reminds me of my best friend that is Jewish. I say this about being Jewish because you know that a Jewish mom is a totally different creature than any other mom. They are great!!!! Bethaney is a lucky lady to be adopted by your parents. They are genuine good people.
    Not to be rude or anything like that , but it seems to me that you and Bobby are really the only upper class family. I mean financialy speaking. I guess the countess is maybe in that group but no where near you and Bobby. Although I think she would love for everyone to think so. Speaking of LuAnn, she seems pretty much okay. She is a little over the top with the countess thing, but whatever. As for Ramona, well, I will just say, I do not care for her. If her eyes pop out any further they will hit the floor. And Mario should have kept his mouth shut and just dropped in and out like he did on the first season. Once he opened his mouth he showed his lack of intelligence, class and just place good old mannors. I know not everyone likes Alex and Simon, but they seem like good people to me. They are a little different but so what. And then there is Kelly. I will not comment on her except to say, I do not like her, at all. Not at all. And she does not fit in the show and should be taken off in my opinion.
    Well, I must go. I can not say enough how much all us ladies here in Dallas love you. We can not wait to see you apartment when Brad finishes with it.

  342. Sue said:

    If Kelly is such a private person, why is she doing the show ?

    Jill,
    Hubby was a computer hog, but I am glad to know you were here blogging live! The tennis match was so much fun, I love the choice of Simon. Had it worked it would been hysterical!
