Rosemarie is more worried about Meredith than about the questions. She's noticed that when someone is doing really well, she points that out to them.
Meredith: Sure, it makes them feel good, and--
Rosemarie: Yeah, it's kind of like when someone is pitching a no hitter; you're not really supposed to talk about it a lot.
