Reasons Countess LuAnn Deserves A Spot Back As A Full Time Housewife
After watching this season of Real Housewives of New York City, it’s hard to not feel annoyed for Countess LuAnn de Lesseps that she only got a “friend” of the housewives status. We truly believe Bravo should bring her back next season as full time- and here’s why…
1- She had equal airtime to all of the ladies and, in fact, had more airtime than full time cast member Aviva Drescher.
2- LuAnn was highly involved in a lot of the drama, especially towards the end of the season.
3- LuAnn was more than ever not afraid to speak her mind this season- and we loved it!
4- She sings and has a good time, both contributing evidence that she doesn’t always take herself too seriously. This is important for a housewife.
5- She’s been with the show since day one. While it’s always nice to have some new blood rotating in and out, fans enjoy having consistent presences on the shows. LuAnn is definitely a solid, consistent presence.
6- It’s always refreshing to hear her advice on situations. She’s not one to give advice without thinking it through and trying to be reasonable.
7- The Ramona/LuAnn relationship always presents an interesting dynamic, and we would miss it if she wasn’t on the show.
8- She shows up to all the trips. Not all of the ladies can say that *cough cough*.
9- She was honest about her personal life and put it on camera. She admitted Jacques and her weren’t working and allowed her discussing that to be filmed. In an era where reality tv’s authenticity is sometimes questioned, she keeps it authentic.
10- Finally, and most importantly, she’s the Countess. Money didn’t buy her class and she lives a life of elegance and flair. Who doesn’t need her on their television in a full time role?
Honestly, we will be disappointed if Bravo doesn’t bring Countess LuAnn back in a full time housewife role next season. Tell us- will you?

The countess did blogs, wwhl, trips, press… That’s more than can be said for som other housewives
Agreed 🙂
Respectfully, I couldn’t disagree more. The Countess (cough, cough) hasn’t been honest on the show since Day 1. She, along with Jill Z, has tried to present what she wants the audience to see instead of what is actually happening in her life. ie. her relationship or lack thereof, with her husband, what actually happened with the pirate, her financial situation, etc. IMO it was easier for her to be a friend so that her real life wasn’t filmed. All she had to do was show up to the things she wanted to be involved in with without having to show the rest of what was happening in her life. We didn’t see the demise of her relationship with Jacques and she could say what she wanted about it.
She’s one of the most inauthentic, and painfully pompous, housewives. We saw exactly what she wanted us to see and nothing more.
I’d take LuAnn back if it means getting rid of Aviva!!
whoever wrote the above is nuts – the countess cannot sing she is mean and supercilious – get rid of her and Aviva – n fact Aviva and her father should be in straight jackets
Margaret says “the Countess shows up when she ‘wants’ to show up & not for her real life”… Are you SERIOUS??? LuAnn was at EVERY occasion, BOTH trips (Drescher was at neither…. missed at least 5 or 6 episodes and LOVED it!) Margaret is sucking on the same sour grapes that Drescher does. Drescher’s ONLY ‘contribution’ is her of-so-contrived ‘Legg gate’ incident and showcasing her vomit worthy father. LuAnn shared her break up with Jaques, perhaps not the drama leading to the break up, but the day after. How about bat sh** crazy Ramona??? Did SHE let us even KNOW about Mario’s affair?? NO! There is a double standard that Bravo is VERY guilty of, they are incredibly and increasingly manipulative and I for one, am getting SICK of this.
If Bravo doesn’t start reigning it in, we WILL start watching OTHER stations!!
I have no pride, so I won’t. I’ll take whatever bravo and/or oxygen can give me.
But I do love me some LuAnn!
I would like to see Ramona gone, her attitude and how she was violent this season, makes Bravo look bad. It seems they promote bullying and violence and call it ratings, this kind of stuff is why bullying and violence have taken a backseat to manners and respect. Bring LuAnn back she at least always was respectful of others.
