Well, this is it, the finale of season 6 and the big fight between Tamra and Jeana that Bravo has been teasing all season is on…but not yet. Bravo milks that moment right ‘til the end and we don’t get to see it go down until the last ten minutes, so until then…
Vicki is home from the hospital and now her heart (instead of her bum) is bleeding because she served Donn with divorce papers for not loving her the right way. Seeing Donn’s clothes in her closet is making her sad. Her colon has ulcers and they are probably Donn’s fault and now she has to put on a happy face because she’s been planning a “Fall Party” for weeks and the show must go on. Luckily she happens to have some Preparation-H on hand that she slaps around her eyes to take down the swelling from her self-serving weeping.

It’s not just for ass ulcers, it’s for ass face too.
Vicki is seeking life advice and guidance from some random make-up artist who is there to tart her up for the party. In between announcing how sad she looks, heavy sighs, warnings of crying jags that could happen at any moment and asking aloud ‘how do you know you do the right things when you do them?’, she interviews with that Donn is not returning her calls (he’s got some nerve doesn’t he?) and that he obviously doesn’t want to communicate.
This woman is a piece of work. She had him served with divorce papers and now she’s getting pissy because Donn’s not…what? Begging to see her and talk, acting the broken man in front of her, desperate to work things out? She actually says she realized that Donn doesn’t love her the way it takes to stay married after she had him served. After? She may have overplayed her hand one too many times. Run Donn run!!
Tamra is at Eddie’s getting ready for the party and uh-oh she’s in the bathroom with Eddie and there is wine involved. Pleeeease don’t go near the tub, one porn session with these two was damaging enough.
Hey, you just turn yourself around and march that wine back out the door.
One scarring porn display is enough for a lifetime
Tamra is pissed, because despite her telling Jeana to stay out of her business and keep her trap shut to the media, a quote from Jeana regarding Tamra and Simon’s divorce has shown up again in another tabloid and Tamra’s not having it. For the umpteenth time this season, Eddie tells Tamra not to sweat it, keep her cool, who cares about (insert name of whoever T thinks doesn’t have her back). Meh, Tamra’s not having that either.
At Gretchen’s house it’s time for omelets in bed with douchebag Slade. Side note: does this drag queen ho go to bed at night with a full face of stage makeup so it will rub off and be her daytime fresh look by morning?
Fresh faced morning beaute
G has had a change of heart and doesn’t want Vicki to be sick and when she was bitchy and snide with her previous comments that it was “ironic” that Vicki’s ass started bleeding on the same day as Alexis’ fashion show it was because she was just emotionally coiled and had pent up issues towards the women (that they brought upon themselves) because no one seemed to care when her Jeff was in the hospital but everyone was supposed to drop everything and tend to Vicki when she was sick. Uhm, guess what G, they like Vicki more or you less or something like that, and OMG, self-involved much? When she discovered that Vicki was actually ill (and her bitchy won’t play well for her pr) she high-tailed it to the hospital to tell Vicki she cares. Vicki doesn’t give a shit but you never know when G might need some insurance so what the hell, hugs all around.
And btw G, this is what ironic is. Douchebag Slade offering his sage and supercilious take on the breakdown of Vicki’s marriage and how it was mainly Vicki’s fault and she treated Donn like crap and basically karma’s a bitch and so is Vicki. Stfu Slade, you may be right but you’re a douchebag loser, deadbeat dad, a wannabe hanger-on sycophant who has become a desperate shadow of your delusions of grandeur reduced to Girl Friday status for your tricked-out pimp mama (the only one more desperate than you and who thought that was even possible?!). You gots no bizness saying nothing ‘bout nothing. Now shut your mouth tubbawubba and go haul some bags in from the car.
Gretchen wants to go to Vicki’s party and she wants Slade to go with her. G sees this as a great opportunity to show everyone who slagged on her and Slade’s relationship (you know, the same ladies who are divorced or divorcing), to see that she and douchebag are what a real committed relationship looks like, (insert raspberry here, na na na na na na).
Woo hoo, let’s go and be all pathetic superior and stuff
Ding-dong Dylan’s here to take part in the play in Alexis’ head where she is someone of wealth, sophistication and substance…and someone who requires an assistant. Dylan helps to keep Alexis from wearing a couture thong and bustier to Vicki’s party and vetoes the Barbie, Elegant, Princess and Jimbo dress choices and gets Alexis in a orange satin pillow case, you know ‘cause orange is a fall color and it’s a fall party and who doesn’t want to be matchy-matchy. That Dylan is worth every cent.
Alexis has invited her hottest girlfriends to accompany her to the party because that’s the way she rolls. And also Jim won’t go. But that’s ok because she and Jim have a marriage that works (take that Vicki and Tamra) and holy crap now Alexis is going to pontificate on her views on marriage and in her tiny little mind things have pretty much gone downhill since women got the vote. That kind of liberal thinking and equal rights for women is what has contributed to the breakdown of the American nuclear family and she was created from her husband’s rib (probably had it removed by now to get a smaller frame) and she wants to be his wife and his cherish (?) and divorce is not a word that has come up yet. *lol* She said yet. Freudian slip perhaps?
Tamra and Eddie are rolling in a limo (what’s with all the limos, all these broke hos take limos…at least they don’t drink and drive, just drink and debt load I guess) to Vicki’s party. Tamra spends about one minute commenting on her bff Vicki and the hard time she is going through right now and another twenty minutes on herself and the horrible Jeana. Eddie advises her to keep cool and Tamra says she will but in the same sentence says when she sees Jeana at the party she intends to serve her with a cease and desist letter from her lawyer (yeah, good timing, very classy and why would anyone have anything to gossip about when you’re conducting your business so publicly) and maybe a well deserved slap in the face. Yeah, that sounds like calm and cool behavior.
Eddie often makes this face when he looks at Tamra, the wtf, are you for real face…
and in the words of the legendary Judge Judy, you picked her!
The party is starting at Vicki’s and her backyard looks pretty gorgeous, lots of colorful lanterns and baskets of leaves and fall colors that match Alexis’ couture dress. When Tamra arrives she immediately takes a drink up to Vicki who is still holed up in her bedroom and fawns over her a bit, telling her how great she looks (she does). Vicki says she doesn’t want her divorce to be a topic of conversation and then proceeds to talk ad nauseum about it. She’s still whining that she hasn’t heard from Donn. What was the serving of the papers to her, a pseudo bullshit cry for help? The divorce papers are some sort of a jumping off point for discussion? What she really meant was let’s talk, she just wanted to get his attention? And now Donn’s not responding the way she expects him to. I’m reminded of the age old story of the boy who cried wolf.

There is much airtime taken up with Vicki boo-hooing about how sad she is and Tamra screeching at her not to cry because it will ruin her make-up and offering to feel her up to make her feel better (make her feel better? Really?). Tamra steps out for a minute to recruit Peggy to help her get the word out to party guests that no one should mention the word “Donn”. Man, these women are annoying. Seems to me the best way to not talk about something is to…not talk about it!! And if someone brings it up you say you’d rather not talk about it and move the conversation on. But where is the drama in that? And besides this kind of focus and attention is all Vicki has ever wanted. Peggy does her duty and stumbles around (she is drunk to the point of mildly slurring her words) and delights in being the one to announce to all that as the bff of choice she has been tasked with asking everyone not to mention the D-word in the presence of the delicate Vicki. Then all the housewives tromp upstairs to Vicki’s room to rally around Vickster and offer their support. Hey, how the hell did Fernada get in there?
Meantime, the ghosts of housewives past have shown up at the party; Jeana with a pocket gay or two of her own, sloppy drunk Tammy (who later spills her drink on Vicki) and Quinn (or her alter ego?) who is wearing the latest wig from the Kim Zolciak collection.

“The Possum” from the Kim Zolciak collection
Finally Vicki makes an appearance at her own party and revels in being the centre of attention. Shout out to Eddie, he really does seem like a nice guy and he knows how to handle himself socially. He’s sweet and cheerful with Vicki and skillfully avoids being pulled into the Vicki show by deflecting her pitiful whimpers of how hard it all is (yeah, way to not talk about it Vicki).
Peggy, as it turns out, is kind of an ugly drunk, stumbling and slurring a bit. Tammy’s wasted too but she’s a goofy drunk who wants to giggle and have fun. Peggy’s one of those types who gets all serious and wants to have big discussions and shit. So now is as good a time as any to take a run at Alexis and let her know that she doesn’t appreciate anyone calling her lips big. Alexis acts all shocked and says she has no recollection of calling anyone’s lips big and the ever helpful Gretchen chirps in that she doesn’t know about lips but she’s noticed that they definitely have tension between them and what’s up with that? Yes, very helpful Gretchen, lol, what a shit disturber.
Blech, then Alexis and Peggy go at it with the intensity and drama of tween girls bleating, I don’t knooooow, what is wrooong with you, you’re attacking me, no you’re attacking me, your man was mean to my man, don’t you talk about my man, you’ve changed, no you’ve changed…these two are particularly stupid, they make my head hurt. Then, feeling cornered, Alexis goes off saying, I love my lips, I love my boobies, I love myself, I love my King and I don’t care if we’re friends or not. Well, finally, she should have started with that.
Ewwwwww, Tamra’s oldest (and most disappointing) son Ryan has showed up. I guess we can be thankful that this is his only appearance this season and it’s a brief one.
Peggy has now stumbled over to Jeana to let her know that Tamra is her friend (that’s what makes this Peggy’s business?) and she wants to know why Jeana is doing things that make her friend upset. Some arbitrary “Tamra Friend” named Ricky (does T have pocket gays too?) joins in and the two of them start to interrogate Jeana, wanting to know what she is claiming happened with the media and if she thinks having a heavy leash (not just a leash, a heavy leash) thrown at you is abuse. Jeana’s a bitch but at least she owns it. She doesn’t apologize or try to mollify her audience, she answered a question the media asked her and she can’t help it if they twisted her words. She doesn’t believe Tamra was abused, she said what she said and she’d do it again. Piss off.
Peggy motions Tamra to come and join this little chatter group (wtf Peggy?) and tells Tamra she thinks she and Jeana should talk because she says so (next up for Peggy is world peace. Drunks should rule the world. They get stuff done). Again, you gotta give it to Jeana for being authentic, she doesn’t back down. She looks at Tamra like she’s something gross on the bottom of her shoe, but she doesn’t raise her voice. She talks down to Tamra like she’s a slow-witted child, which of course sends Tamra from zero to sixty in a heartbeat. Suddenly Tamra is shouting and swearing at Jeana and the crowd is swelling around the ladies (fight, fight!), ooooh, blood in the water, and the ever articulate Tamra throws her “sis & decease” letter in Jeana’s face.

I hope that “sis & decease” letter isn’t as heavy as a leash.
Well, Jeana has a breaking point too and she puffs up and looms forward, saying Tamra better back off or she’ll throw her skinny little ass in the pool (awww, a compliment, she called her skinny). Tamra’s all bravado double-dog-daring Jeana to try to throw her in the pool, but she’s backing up as she says it. Then T’s mom jumps in telling Jeana to get away from her daughter. With Jeana momentarily distracted by mom, Tamra throws a glass of wine in Jeana’s face and calls her a bitch.
Yee haw, it’s on! Jeana is blinded by the wine and while wiping her eyes she throws her glass of wine at the nearest blonde, probably thinking it was Tamra. In the OC, one can’t trust the blurry sight of blonde extensions, orange tan and big boobs. It could be anyone. As it turns out, the unintended target is some chick with anger management issues named Mishel (maybe she’s angry at her parents for spelling her name so stupidly). Mishel lunges at Jeana, who is stumbling towards the bar still blinded by her wine wash, and shoves her hard from behind, sending Jeana into the chairs. Oooooooh, gasps all around from the peanut gallery.

Take that beyotch, oh it’s on!
Quinn jumps in (that Kim Z wig must give her super powers) and she tells Mish not to touch her friend, and even happy- drunk Tammy gets in on it and chides Mishel for putting her hands on someone. Suddenly one of Jeana’s pocket gays (Ben) erupts, rushing to Jeana’s side and managing to throw his drink on Mishel in the process. Mish starts screeching that her fifteen-hundred dollar dress is ruined and Ben calls bullshit on that saying there’s no way her Forever Young polyester piece of crap cost that much. He hustles Jeana out of the party with Tamra following them to the curb, shrieking that Jeana is the meanest person in the world. Ben throws his glass at T, they call her a bitch and peace out bitches, Jeana has left the building. And then she goes home and quickly calls Simon to see if Tamra has had her rabies shot.
Back at the party everyone is atwitter with the excitement of it all. Briana points out the obvious: that these people are ridiculous, they’re old and should know better and even her friends who are in their twenties don’t behave like this.
Tamra is in the corner playing heaving bosomed ingénue for Eddie – uhm, T, you are twenty five years too old and waaaay too much of a slut to pull that off…but Eddie’s not all that bright so he coddles her and tells her it’s going to be alright. Tamra is so full of shit, she immediately spins the story to Jeana being a violent aggressor who tried to manhandle her and throw her to the ground and in the pool. *gasp* Oh no! Tamra you poor thing, are you okay?! Tamra is loving the attention (and camera time) and is smirking like a cat that got the cream. Ha! Then Gretchen steps in to be ‘helpful’ yet again and asks T to consider the similarities between them, does she now understand how G felt about her when T was talking to the media about G and Jeff and all that business?
*cricket*cricket* It seems like Tamra is considering what Gretchen has just said and for a fleeting moment there was a glimpse of a chance to move on. T told G she wished her all the best and she eagerly agreed to the suggestion of finally just letting the ancient history of their ‘feud’ go. But Gretchen isn’t satisfied with a peck on the cheek and letting bygones be bygones. Oh no, she still has a lot of feelings of anger that need to be acknowledged and addressed and I’m not quite sure what she expects from Tamra except that it’s something unrealistic (and unnecessary). She wants no less than a public flogging of T and then to be lionized and then maybe, just maybe, she’ll consider thinking about maybe moving on. Yeah, Tamra’s over it and with a sneer and a shrug she turns her back on G and gets back to the topic at hand…her!

Meh, whatevah
Cue the music, it’s time to wrap this season up with screen shots and summaries of the wives…
Gretchen spent the entire season pondering what the impact of dating a deadbeat douchebag would have on her public image, but she’ll think about that tomorrow. For now she’s going to look for photo ops and tabloid attention by playing dress-up at the bridal salon. Will she or won’t she marry Slade? No one cares.
Tamra is going through menopause. Well, she didn’t say that, but I’m reading between the lines when she says she goes through so many emotions on a daily basis. She has introduced Eddie to all her rug rats and is about to officially become a free bitch any day now when her divorce becomes final.
Vicki is looking to get her love tank filled from a conductor or something? I don’t know, she started yammering some shit about her being on a train or getting off a train or something… Poor Briana has moved back home to be there for her mom while she goes through her divorce. *sigh* She was soooo close, I thought Briana was going to make it, but the caliente kitchen has pulled her back (btw that caliente kitchen could be yours for a cool $2.6M).
Turns out Peggy dated Jimbo before he met Alexis….well, that explains a lot of Alexis’ attitude I guess. Somewhere in the shallows of her teeny mind she is jealous of Peggy because Peggy dodged a bullet.
Peggy and Tamra are bff’s because T is a Virgo and they have made the all important vow to have each other’s backs. Peggy is so boring the best Bravo can come up with for a summary is that she continues to lead a healthy lifestyle and avoids junk food, prescription drugs and Alexis…and paying her bills according to recent reports.

And…that’s all she wrote, it’s over. Overall a pretty tiresome season, a couple of good moments of absurdity and spectacle, but the OC jumped the shark a few seasons back I’d say. But I love my OC hos and I’ll always watch them, you dance with the one who brought you…
What did y’all think? You know Bravo will stretch the requisite reunion show across at least two more episodes, but at least the reunion has some (almost) genuine and unscripted moments.
If you like it, spread it!:

Ok I am sure I am missing something — but why do bloggers tend to think that Eddie is gay and is just into Tamra for the TV time? I mean, outside of guzzling booze before climbing into the hot tub a few episodes ago …I don’t see it. I don’t know, maybe I’m naive.
Solid A on the recap! Thank you for making sense of these heiffas!
Another OC clusterfuckfest party out of the way – hoorah!
Vicki – you are a vile woman- you file for divorce and expect the man you wiped your feet on for years to come a-running? Bitch, please… And I could have done without the HD enchanced viewing of that truffle hunting face in full teary mode. I wanted to spread vaseline on my TV.
Tamra – cunt supreme. Every moment of her on the screen verified my initial opinion of her as a trailer park piece of trash. Had a quite enough of her shrieking at Vicki in order to stop her from crying, her grinding up against her gay…I mean…Eddie, and her ferret face hypocritically snarling at Jeana. I hope that her exaggerated account of the wine throwing incident is thrown in her botoxed face at the reunion. By the time she got to the third group of party goers about what happened, you would have thought Jeanna roasted and ate Tamra’s kids while holding her head underwater – “I was in mortal danger, inches from death! I had to throw the wine – it was blessed by a priest and the only way to stop Jeanna!”
Peggy – lay off the booze and the makeup – both were a mistake for you. Running around loudly slurring “Do not bring up Donn to Vicki!”, having an epic battle of the idiots with Alexis, shit stirring with Jeana, keeping those ballon boobies in check and that Lily Munster makeup together was a fail!
Gretchen – scored some points for pointing out to Tamra the Rabid Ferret the beauty of karma. But she still has the icky Slade around. She is an idiot but I can stand her.
Alexis – DIAF already – what a fucking dumbass. Enjoy your douchey husband, your horrid dress line, your prancing gay and get the fuck off of my TV. Try displaying those horrid crotch length clothes in a “conservative” country like Saudi Arabia and see how far you get.
As for the rest – Quinn – Kim Zolciak called and she couldn’t leave a message, she was laughing too hard. Tami Knickerbocker – drunk in the right way for that hot mess of a party. Jeana – ugh – please do something about that hair, find clothes that do not make you look like you are a linebacker, teach your gay to throw better (you are a part of a baseball family – hello?), stop taking sides with loser males, and mind your beeswax!!
Do Eddie wants to know whether he should wear “white or black” to the party. Did you see his closet? He ONLY has black and white shirts. No way he’s gay.
)
I don’t think Eddie is gay…just a fool for being with Tamra.
Yay! Donn is finally single for Jeanna. They are totally going to eff like rabbits! Hopefully loud enough for the chip-troll Vickie to hear!
Yikes, what on Earth happened to that Quinn chick? No wonder they don’t put her on the air anymore.
I pretty much hate all of those vile, self-absorbed cunts, but if I had to pick one to stomach, it’s Gretchen. Bad taste in men, yes. But the girl will call it likes she sees it, and unlike the other nutjobs isn’t afraid to have a little laugh at her expense.
Hi-def TV is not a friend to Peggy and Tamra. No wonder gay Eddie is always knocking down wine.
@Dirty Sanchez – I’m in love. Not only do I fully agree with everything you had to say, but you’re also a Steeler fan! You’re perfection.
Eddy is either nuts or has some agenda. Is it just me or does Tamra look like she always smells shit and is angry about it? Her face doc isn’t very good.
Donn can be a childish dick (talking shit about people) but I’ve always felt sorry for him. Vicki is such a royal sea hunt to him. She’s lucky he stuck around a long as he did. I can’t wait to hear what he has to say at the reunion.
Let me just say that this is a pretty effed up group of women to have me “like” Gretchen and Alexis the most…
Wtf is with Peggy’s chin? She is the spitting image of Skeletor. My face hurts when I watch her.
Last but not least, I really really wanted to see Jeana snap Tamra like a twig. That would have made my year. What a pussy Tamra was. That proves that anyone who is scared of her has no reason to be. That bitch is all talk. One day someone will punch her out…I’m also waiting for the same to happen to the Cuntess.
You know these women really suck.Any reasonable person could not be in the same room as them for more then 5 minutes.They are truly so ugly on the inside as the out and most of there men also. Never a please or thank you from any of them and besides Sicky’s daughter contribute nothing to the community or the people around them. As a group they are morally bankrupt.Sadly i think they will end up like that poor women they found in LA covered in spider webs and cat poo.
On the other hand these recaps are great and very enjoyable.Your wit is fantastic and for this I thank you
These women dress so cheap and tacky. I thought they had money. Yuck
Watching Vicky crying ‘Don’s clothes are still here, and his toothbrush, BUT HE IS NOT, and it makes me so hysterically sad’ made me giggle. Sorry, was he supposed to be there to support her after this cow THREW HIM OUT? You FILED FOR DIVORCE, without even discussing it with him, since you said you called your lawyer from hospital! You told him that your life together was over – and now you’re crying because seeing his things but not him makes you sooooo saaaaaad, whawahwahwawaaahhhhaaa! You’re not only lying to everybody else, you’re lying to yourself and that is pathetic!
Hello, Earth to Gretchen: You did not feel sympathy for Vicky while she was sick because ‘when Jeff was sick the ladies never came to visit HIM AT THE HOSPITAL’? WTF ?! Are you insane? He was not a cast member, they met him maybe once or twice in their lives, but now you claim they should have been visiting him while he was dying?? THEY should have?? YOU were barely even there, you nasty gold-digging ho’a! Why were they expected to visit? You turned from just a spoiled little brat to a totally self-obsessed, grossly self-overindulgent looser, who wants to be perceived as a VICTIM, just like Tamra, just like Vicky!
This episode was totally eye-opening about Tamra for me. All these bi!ches seem to live in a parallel universe that has nothing to do with REALITY, but she truly takes the cake.
Tamra threw her letter into Jeana’s face, who then yelled ‘don’t touch me; I could throw you in the pool if I wanted’. That prompted Trash Tammy to lounge at her and throw a drink in Jeana’s face. Then the white trash princess Tammy started running around screaming what a trash Jeana is because after TammySue ‘peacefully gave her a letter, THAT HO’ PUSHED HER AND TRIED TO THROW HER IN THE POOL! And so Tammy had no choice but to throw a drink in her face to defend herself!’ What a crock of sh!t.
Trash Tammy is such a lying piece of garbage. Hey stupid – there were cameras present, it is all on film, and we’ve already seen the whole story unfold, so your attempts at revisionism fall way short of the mark. All you do, at any given time, is try to make yourself look like a VICTIM, after first stirring the sh!t and then dumping it all on everybody else! You are a trailer trash bimbo with a dirty mouth and zero manners, and it is now clear beyond any doubt that IT WAS YOU WHO WAS THE ABUSER IN YOUR MARRIAGE!
I do not believe anymore that Simon was ever physical or in any other way abusive to you – YOU showed that You resort to violence at first opportunity, plus you lie like you breathe. Claiming the Jeana went VIOLENT on YOU put everything in perspective, all your claims, all your snide remarks, all your vicious behavior. You are a disgusting piece of human gah-baige, and after you’re off TV there will not be one single person (especially a straight guy) who will want to be with you or touch you with a 100-foot pole. Yuck!
Maybe then you and Vicky can set up a Society of Mutual Adoration and live out your days together, marinating in hatred, jealousy and viciousness until you kill each other or both turn into desert mummies (congrats, you’re way on your way to that bus stop already!).
Yeah, LA all Alexis’ clothes look like they’re made of polyester stretch satin by home ec students. Not to mention she looks like a bag of Skittles. I hate all the one shouldered drapey shit with the cooch hanging out. It’s not elegant Alexis. It screams cheap trailer trash.
@Dirty…
Trailer Troll Tammy looks like she is always smelling shit from having too much botox done on her forehead. It causes “bunny lines” to appear on either side of her nose. It’s not a good look.
Personally I want to force feed Peggy several cheeseburgers and milkshakes.
I realize that I am in the vast minority, but I felt bad for Vicki both last week and this week. Watching any relationship crash and burn on television is brutal and brought up a lot of memories for me. Yes, she ended it. But they didn’t just get married last week. Donn clearly had his faults (digs at V in public for one) and holy shit, no sex in almost years?! Vicki is not perfect but the dissolution of that partnership is not solely her fault.
In a lighter note, Mishel! Trying to get in tv much? Girlfriend wants to be faaaaamous!
Tamra- I hope Jenna sues her for whatever she has or from whatever she gets from the show. Two seasons ago she didn’t mind voicing her opinion or adding her two cents on Gretchen relationship with Jeff. Her going after Slade for not paying child support she should look to her left cause word is Eddie is not supporting his kids financial. And is she paying child support cause Simon has the kids full time.
Vicky – This was her plan she know marrying Don that he would help raise and pay for her childern. Cause her baby father was a drunk and she did not want to be a single parent. As soon as the kids college education was paid off and the kids were grown she would move on. I hope Don takes her ass to the cleaners. Bitch.
Wait, Wait, WAIT!!! What?!?!?! Eddie has kids? I thought that Tammy said he didn’t have any kids and that he wanted to have kids with her?! Atleaste that is what I heard in the eppi that they were in spain….
Where was Jeanna’s misogynistic son Shane when she needed him? No I don’t usually condone men hitting women, but for Tamara, I’ll make an exception. She is just all kinds of vile. Yeah, Jeanna definitely needs to mind her own bidness, but Tamara’s viciousness was full on. Jeanna’s actions though misguided, did not warrant that level of animosity.
Jeanna crying on the phone to Simon after drinkgate was truly pitiful. Jeanna please stop doing that asshole Simon’s bidding, foolish old tool is not a good look for you.
That Mishel woman was looking for some action early on. When Peggy was running around slurring at everyone not to talk about Donn, Mishel said, “The guy she dumped, you mean?” I was wondering if she was a Housewife hopeful who’d been rejected or something.
I didn’t think Eddie had kids. The little blurb at the end said Trampra finally let him meet her younger kids. Maybe someone’s confused??
Anywho, picked up season 1 DVD at Tarjay as I’ve only watched OC from season 3 1/2-ish on. It’s really interesting to see all the current characters as there were 6 years ago especially knowing what happens. Vicki is soooo clingy with her kids. I’m surprised Brianna stuck around so long. She has always struck me as a nice person. Jeanna didn’t seem too bad back then buttinski-wise. Of course most of season 1 she was focused on getting Shane into school to further his baseball career. Of course, the biggest shocker is Slade. He’s driving a giant Hummer and flashing his black AmEx card. He wears designer suits and has expensive watches for each day of the week. AND he was trying to keep Jo in the house like his little China doll. WTF was that. My oh my how things change. He did seem like a good dad to his kids and little Grayson is a cutie. It is so sad to see him and imagine that he’s so sick now and his dad, who was so loving, isn’t paying his child support. Slade was so pissed at Jo for wanting to have a life and says she’s irresponsible. Now Gretchen’s in charge and HE won’t take responsibility for his life. Don’t have much respect from Slade Slimey. I do hope Grayson pulls thru all this OK.
Mark my words… Next Season we will see a whole new Vicki, who’s dating and getting laid properly and is much happier. We will see her on many dates, couple dtes and at every possible outing together. She will be on camera saying how much happier she is with (insert name), and she was missing this with Donn.
And I will call bullshit! If I have to watch 14 plus episodes of her dating (inset name) and building a fake, gross, realtionship with some asshole stupid enough to tangle with her, I’m gonna scream. How Ironic she couldn’t put any effort into Donn… hmmm. I bet she leaves work early next season with a promise of sex on a yacht.
echhhh I really hope Donn takes half. You know Vicki probably has money sewn into the matresses. They were broke when they got married, so everthing they have they made together… I hope he takes half, and dates someone half her age, and better looking. I will then giggle.
Oh btw,, been off the boards for awhile, good to see some oldies but goodies still here, sarcas,and havin a ball catching up!
@pantsonfire, good to see you here! I’ve wondered about you…glad you are back amongst us.
Oh, and Vicki’s new boyfriend? Right here. His name is Brooke (gah) and guess what he does? He works in insurance! Other than that, by the looks of him, it’s clear Vicki has a ‘type.’
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/05/oc-housewife-vicki-gunvalson-flaunts-new-boyfriend
And Vicki claiming that Donn didn’t call her after she filed for divorce? Baloney. They still live together! (details in the above link.) But if you’d like to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth..

@polk8dot, I agree about Tamra. Sure, Jeana is a busybody but I can also see her trying to protect a friend’s (Simon’s) reputation. Once a man is accused of abuse, a cloud will hang over him forever. And the way Tamra described the leash throwing incident, he tossed it at her and left. Only after he’d gone, did she decide to call the police. So she wasn’t in danger, but she made everyone believe she was a victim of abuse. Seeing her with Jeana this episode, Tamra was clearly the abuser, throwing the ‘cyst and deceased’ letter in Jeana’s face, followed by a drink. If that wasn’t bad enough, Tamra then twisted the story into a tale of being scared for her life and tossing wine to stave off a hungry dragon. Talk about losing credibility! Even if Simon acted like a sourpuss most of the time, it was clear he was embarrassed that his sexy housewife became a wild, trashy drunkard for the cameras, and was trying to find ways to reel her in. But the taste of fame is too alluring..especially when a woman feels inadequate within her daily life. Not much different than Linda Hogan. Who wants to live in the shadow of their breadwinning husband when they can claim the spotlight for themselves? Too bad they pay for it with the price of their souls.
I think Alex from the RHONYC is the most normal castmember of all of the “Housewives”. I think she truely loves her husband (even though he comes across as a strange-bird) and her children and her life. She get honestly excited about the arts and traveling – she really is authentic. With that being said, I think Vicky is the absolute SADDEST of all of the “Housewives”. When the franchise first started she was all about whohoo and fun. Now, she acts for the camaras. Who knows if Don is a great husband and who cares but Vicky – I wonder someday if she will wake – up and realize how the big house, the rolex, the carat weight of her rings are so miningless and she should have just took time to enjoy it all, relax and be happy.
Ack! Vicki’s new bf looks just like Donn! I have a really difficult time feeling bad for her after watching her treat him like a doormat in earlier episodes this season.
I don’t know which cast is more ridiculous, this one or NY. The behavior these ‘women’ exhibit is so childish and so far from what I’d consider normal.
Does anyone know if Eddie has wizened up and ditched Tammy? She is a vile, delusional bitch. Playing the victim with Jenna after she was clearly the instigator. Puh-lease!
Did anyone see WWHL with the montage of stupid things Alexis has said?
Honestly I think Peggy is the only one I don’t hate, mainly because she’s too boring for me to give a shit.
Did this show somehow turn into the Bad Girls Club?
40 year olds throwing drinks and subpenas in people’s faces…who does that? You know, outside of the basketball wives.
Thanks sarcas good to be back. Wtf, if I were Tamra I would have got a cyst and deceased order ready and have some minion Serve her st the party in front of everyone! That I would do. And all the while playing nicey nice. And can anyone tell me what the hell that pocket gay with Jeana thought he was doing? I mean dint throw a glass at someone when your that gay, it just perpetuates the stereotype.. Unless your a lesbian, now Fernando would have slammed that glass over Brianas dinner plate. But gay boy, please grow up, and don’t come back on my bravo screen..Alexis needs to be excommunicated from whatever church takes jims illegal money.
Tamra was totally planning on picking that fight with Jeanna come hell or high water. That’s why she kept talking about it in the limo. Just like the supposedly spontaneous one-liners that she like to throw out at reunions, she had totally planned to find Jeanna, pick a fight with her so that she could throw the letter and drink at her face. She is so incredibly repugnant….all of them are!
At this point Peggy is the only one that annoys me the least and that is mainly because she is relatively new, totally boring and incapable of scheme about anything (although she did try this episode).
@2muchbravo,
Jeana was doing so well back then before the real estate crash. Kara was always going to do well and Jeana’s focus was on Shane because she knew he needed the most help. The kid was lazy. Then again, his Dad was just laying around the house so..not much inspiration there.( not sure how far you are into the series )
I will never understand why Gretchen wants Slade. Although he is very attentive to her and she knows that he knows how to make bank. He has done it before.
Not fond of him but this little tidbit was enlightning. Trampra had Grayson’s mom on the phone and asked her point blank about the child support. I distinctly hear the mom say “he isn’t paying expenses”. Very interesting. Expenses are a different animal. Trampra is saying that Slade is not paying child support when it could just be a difference of opinion concerning expenses. Trampra needs to keep herself out of other folks buisiness.
@Allison, Such a cute pic of you and the Hubby. Glad he is home safe and sound.
Robin
My understanding is that Simon is paying current child support but is having trouble paying his back child support because he said that the amount was based on his past salary and once he lost his job, it took forever for the courts to amend it based on his new/non-existent salary and it kept adding up until it became such a large figure that he says he can’t possibly pay it all. (Like, $130,000 or something). That’s my understanding of it. But as he said, if he wasn’t paying anything, he’d most likely be in jail.
And, wow…Tamra is vile. The worst of all the housewives and I usually like the bitchy ones. But, between her puffy, collagen injected face, to her parched, dead hair..she looks as bad as she acts. I know Tamra thinks she’s hot stuff, but the only person on the show she looks better than is Vicki. And how hard can that be?
Robin, I was thinking the same thing about Slade and the child support. Expenses would be something he could be behind on, and as he himself pointed out, not be in jail. I know that here where I live, in Florida, you can go to jail, and rather quickly, for not paying child support. You also have your drivers license suspended. Seeing as how none of that has happened with Slade, I would say that he most likely DOES pay support, but not everything in expenses. Tamra really is a piece of work. She needs to mind her own business and think about how everything she’s crying about Jeanna doing to her is EXACTLY what she’s doing to Gretchen and Slade. No matter how obnoxious they both may be, they don’t deserve a bitch like her affecting their lives like that. It really is absolutely NONE of her business.
What did Slade do before the recession hit? As Robin noted, he knows how to make money and the fact that he is doing nothing but serving Gretchen makes me wonder if he is pulling the infamous “I aint got a job so I shouldn’t pay support” ploy. This happened to my SIL whose ex promptly ‘got fired’ and was unable to find work till their son was close to 18. In the meantime he worked for his family and was paid under the table. Call me suspicious, but I think Slade is doing the same to his ex. She may get a part of his Bravo money, but she is not getting what he could be making.
