Oh yeah, Kelly's imitation was funny and spot on.

It's official now, they are all crazy.
I agree...her acting out her weird misguided feelings of loyalty by becoming these people's guard dogs ("I'm so happy you accepted me...let me slay your dragons for you!") is reaching new heights (lows?).

Self-respect and butt out.

I agree. I guess she's so quickly forgotten how none of them really liked her to begin with and I think it was Ramona that was the last one to come around and accept her and Simon. Now she's trying to be her BFF?

Even if we became civil, I can't see acting like that towards someone that not that long ago viewed me with such disdain.

The countess has no manners.

The purpose of manners, etiquette, and so on is to make people comfortable. Not to establish social status. We don't eat with our hands at a dinner party because it makes the people around us uncomfortable.

When I watched LuAnn telling her guests that they were not at the Plaza, I thought of the scene in To Kill a Mockingbird when Scout had a friend to dinner. The little boy poured syrup over his entire plate, and Scout began to remonstrate with him, but Calpurnia took her into the kitchen. You don't belittle your guests. Your job as host is to do everything possible to make the guest comfortable. The guest wants additional hangers, you accommodate your guest. Your guest is late arriving to the table, you prepare them a plate anyway.

BINGO

She says to Alex that she expected more out of her because she is "educated" (that she didn't show up on time for dinner). The Countless is only happy when people pander to her because of her "title". Well I have a new title for you

The whole "I'm the hostess, you're the guest" thing is such a joke. Maybe the trip was countless's idea, but I'm betting she didn't pay a penny for anything. Early on she mentioned the Moroccan Tourist Ministry (as if they were thick as thieves) so I imagine they are footing the bill for free advertising. Countless is trying to make it look like she is a royal guest of the country and the housewives are her guests in turn. She is using it to enhance her "royal" credentials and school everyone in proper etiquette. Notice how she said (of the dinner latecomers) "This is not the Plaza hotel. This isn't done in this country." What - they have no room service, early dinner, late dinner - whatever - in all of Morocco?? She keeps trying to position herself as an expert on Morocco and traveling in general and she just looks like a fool. Heck, it took her several days just to figure out they were in the CITY of Marrakesh in the COUNTRY of Morocco. She thought the city was called Morocco. So much for her vast experience there.

She seems to think that the longer she is divorced from the Count, the more royal she becomes. And the other housewives buy it!!
