This week the entire episode pretty much centers around Peggy & Micah’s Extravaganza…except this time it really was. Beautiful setting, flowers, music, candles, good food, good people…oh, strike that last one.
Micah’s gonna wish he wore his Swatch watch and gone with the pool party by the time this group of tacky low rent hos are finished hijacking the elegant and ostentatious affair he had envisioned.
Tweedle Dumb & Dumber (Gretchen & Alexis) each arrive with their boybitches because Slade is spending time with his children *cough*bullshit*cough* and Jim is…well, looks like Jim just didn’t want to come, he’s probably at home laying hands on something or up something or whatevah.
Alexis spends her time running from the table sobbing and waiting for people to chase her. Poor thing is overwhelmed and rudderless without her man Jimbo there to tell her what to do, say and think. As if she hasn’t drawn enough attention to herself, she makes sure to stand up and announce to that table that they should take no notice of her despair and tears, she is *sniff* trying to get through the night without her man but *sniff* it’s just really hard, but really, it’s okay, just tawlk amongst yourselves.
Gretchen, when not throwing shade on Tamra and seething with jealousy over the fact that Tamra is living a far happier life than she is, is holding a bathroom conference and assuring the delicate Alexis that she is a strong woman and that G will cut her meat for her since Jimbo isn’t here.
When Tamra doesn’t have her tongue jammed down Eddie’s throat she’s pressing her ear up against said bathroom door so she can report back to Vicki and they can giggle and make fun…and Vicki is busy blaming Donn for ruining her life and their marriage by not wanting to have children with her (huh?).
The best part of the evening was seeing Donn grow a pair (in direct relation to his alcohol intake) and tell Vicki to STFU. Yipppeee Donn, a happy ending afterall!
Full recap coming soon…
If you like it, spread it!:

Alexis is totally the girl in junior high who spent the entire dance in the bathroom crying.
I thought it was great when Peggy told Alexis the she could either put on her big girl pants and sit down to dinner OR she could just go home. Her tone was that of a mommy talking to a pissy toddler – and boy did that infuriate Alexis (I can only assume that she may have heard a nanny laying down that threat to one of the little Jimbos). I also liked when Alexis was trying to defend how busy her life has been lately what with, you know…working out and taking care of the kids. HAHA – if only Vicki had heard that.
Can’t wait till your recap – you have a wealth of material to work with this week.
I did not understand why Gretchen and Alexis couldn’t go to the dinner alone – it is really not a bad thing. I also did not understand why they didn’t call Peggy and tell her what was going on with their significant others – I can’t imagine any of my friends showing up at a dinner party I was hosting with some random person- everyone of my friends would check with me first. Lastly, while I realize there has to be some drama in this show (or we would not watch)- why is it always so over the top that it is unbelievable? I cannot imagine myself nor my friends ever behaving as badly as these women do when they are with each other. Gretchen had to start shit and everyone else followed – can’t they just pretend to be nice or just totally ignore each other?
I did really like how Eddie tried to squash Tamra continuing with the drama when Gretchen was talking about them…I love his who cares what they say attitude. Everyone needs a little Eddie time (for more than one reason).
I have to admit, I did love when Donn laughed at Slade staying home to be with the boys. Loving Donn this season!!!
@What, according to WWHL, Peggy already knew that Jim wasn’t going to be accompanying Alexis to the dinner in advance. Alexis called her a few days before and told her that he didn’t want to film with Tamra and Vicki. Of course, Miss Andy decided to table that tidbit for the reunion. So, she may have already known that Alexis would be bringing her escort. But, there was no mention of Gretchen.
Ugh if you can’t spend two hours without your husband, stay the hell home. Alexis was beyond rude and I actually felt back for Peggy for the scene she was making. These women have no manners!
I think that the reason Alexis and Gretchen were on melt down mode was more because of the dirty laundry that was made public the day of or shortly beforehand namely that Alexis’ house was in foreclosure and of Slade stiffing his son with terminal brain cancer. Thus the whole Slade was with his kids excuse which not one guest at the dinner bought.
All of these people are truly vile. I rooted for Don until he joined in on the petty put downs and made fun of the two men that next to jesus brought aka I can lie because I am a closer to God (jim)and I was notr with any man for the money.Don is married to a truly horrible person.He finally turned his rage on the right person.16 years with that women how sad almost a wasted life except for Sickie daughter.This show has no joy.the people lie , cheat other people out of money. You have to be morally bankrupt to be on this show.I only root for there downfall and then watch them blame someone else. Eddie what are you doing you have to want to be on Tv .how can you stand that women
I thought they were all vile. I actually felt disgusted by watching. And I don’t have high standards for tv.
Who goes to someone’s party and behaves the way all these women did? Donn wasn’t much better and I have always liked him. Alexis was not mean just stupid. She should have just cancelled on Peggy earlier if Jim couldn’t be there. I kind of agree with ole Jimbo – I wouldn’t want to waste a night around Vicki and Tamra. That is 4 hours you can’t get back in life. Tamra bothers me the most – the dress was heinous, sticking your tongue down your man’s throat and blocking the singer so everyone is watching just the two of you dancing – blech! She’s pathetic. I may have to be done with this show. I don’t know how much more I can take. Please bring back Beverly Hills!
Tamra and Gretchen hate each other so much it looks like they are gearing up to a good ole slapfight.
Tamra looks bad. She just looks simply awful. I dislike her intensely.
Vicki should not wear short skirts.
Gretchen needs to lose 5 lbs of hair. It doesn’t look good on her.
Alexis is “that girl”.
Donn is awesome. He said and did everything we wish we could have said.
If Gretchen tried to feed me the line that Slade was with his boys I would have some kind of reaction myself (probably an eyeroll). It’s a nonverbal cue that I am not buying the bullshit. Then he calls Vicki a bitch! LOVES! She is a bitch and she does revise history. She dishes it out but clearly cannot take it. Then… THEN… he is in the limo “I can’t eat mah asparagus without mah husband” (sob).
I liked it all very very much.
Lawd, these women…the true Horsewives of OC (who actually have $$$ and purposeful lives?) have got to be embarrassed by these doofs.
My favorite segment was when Peggy and Micah were getting dressed for their soiree, and Peggy was calling out BY BRAND/DESIGNER NAME Micah’s apparel choices…Yep, just like my hubby & I do -
“Honey, are you wearing your Timex tonight? It’ll look diviiiiine with your Chuck Taylors…”
Can’t wait for the full recap, Zip!!
haha i loved this episode!! if only every episode could have all this crazy going on in it! i was not Once bored!! best episode in a very long time. Who knew another “dinner party” could be so fun! guilty pleasure for sure. ALSO i am VERY much liking Peggy. I’m actually glad fernanda is not a full time cast member, she would throw the whole show outta balance and im pretty sure Alexis and Jim got into an argument.
Whoa, wait, why are Vicki and Tamra basically getting a pass? Yeah, Gretchen and Alexis acted like spoiled sorority girls (which they essentially are), but Gretchen didn’t appear that upset that Slade wasn’t there (I mean, who are we kidding). Meanwhile Vicki and NakedWasted Tammy Sue and their insignificant others cannot SHUT UP at the table, making very rude-n-crude comments not just about Gretch and Alexis, but about their “dates (who seemed nice). Tamra, who is the very definition of “skanky ho” acted like the biggest cunt I’ve ever seen. How old is she again? Eddie (who I agree does look like he comes from some sex escort service) acted like a child and Don was obviously wasted. I know it’s just a mini-recap, but SERIOUSLY?
My spouse and I do that when we’re going out. Generally, I need her approval of my casual athletics wear: Shall I rock the Merona by Target, or Hagar Casuals by Kohl’s? What look am I going for? It’s so haaaaaard to know.
I don’t think Trouty was really upset at all. I think the whole thing was staged to further the “Alexis is codependent on Jim” storyline. If anybody can fake a hysteria attack at this point, it’s this bunch. That’s why she could be so drunk and giggly with Gretchin later.
I’m tyring to figure out if I’d turn into Donn if I had to be on this show… he’s just happily drunk most of the time, pointing and laughing at everyone including his wife, and he knows it’s a circus, even if Vicki doesn’t. I imagine we’d all do the same if we were supporting characters on this show.
Oh, and Eddie is creeeeeeeepie. To the max.
Somebody really should tell Gretchin’s hairdresser that 45 yr old fat gay men cannot get away with faux hawks. (I mean, no one can GET AWAY with faux hawks, it’s just that when see a young dweeb with one, you just think, Oh, well, he’s still a young retard. He’ll grow out of it.)
16 years too late, but good for Donn. Lord knows he’s probably been dying to tell Vicky to shut the fuck up for eons. Now that he’s moved on from trying to keep her neurotic, controlling ass happy, he’s happy to down a few drinks and let her have it.
I told my wife that Eddie dude is there strictly for air time. If he has to bang Tamra or engage in some over the top make out sessions to do it, so be it. She’s a mess now, imagine what she’ll be like in 2 months when he ditches her for someone 15 years younger?
I felt sorry for the guys that the two sorority girls brought along. They didn’t deserve to get abused for the sins of Slade and Jim. As for Jim, he must have a Godly cock the size of my forearm in order to keep Alexis so cuckoo and in line. We know it isn’t his looks or personality, and it doesn’t appear that he’s that loaded after all.
STILL NO OFFICIAL REVIEW? THIS IS WHY TV GASM DOESNT GET THE BIG VIEWS!! people come here to read about they’re favorite show’s latest episode and its yet to be posted! its pretty much been a full week, the housewife franchise is pretty big, it’s not some soon to be cancelled series for you to LAG this BAD. get your shit together zipit or give it to someone who cares! i’m sure im not alone THANKS!!
Well Kenize I’m glad you’re so anxious to read my recaps but chill girl, it should be up any minute…it is kinda late though (sorry), but you know I’m busy and have things to do like…uhm…workout…ok, I made that part up. But this is a volunteer gig and I’m doing my best between job and family and life…I love writing it though so I hope you keep coming back.
