The REAL Housewifes of Orange County

OH NO! He texted her on air to say "NO i didn't...she did it! And she made me do it!" I honestly think that except for Peggy (who seemed pretty benign) they are all walking ads for birth control.

New season begins February 7th.

This has been my guilty for years now and I am so glad to see it coming back soon! Thanks for posting that DreamfulSpirit!

I swore I wouldn't watch this, but, well nothing else was on. It was a pretty lame episode but left me baffled when Gretchen and Tamra made up. My only thought was Tamra has another person to bully this year (Alexis) so she no longer needs the drama with Gretchen.

I went to BravoTV.com today and when I first saw this picture of Alexis, I thought it was Kim Zolciak. Now I think it looks like Alexis is wearing one of Kim's wigs.

It just isn't a good picture of her at all.

Tamra and Gretchen have "made up" before. My guess is that won't last long. I thought the episode was decent. I'm very curious how Heather is SO wealthy that she and her husband can afford a 4.5 million dollar LOT.. and then I think they said at 14,000 sq ft house?! I read that her husband is one of the top plastic surgeons in OC so obviously they're not hurting.. but who can afford to drop almost 10 million on a house?!

OMG!!! LMFAO!!! She sure DOES!!!! Alexis really annoys me. While I think she's a pretty girl, she still has to be the absolute dizziest of the group. The way she puckered her lips while trying to call her husband to wake up made me cringe. That's a phone! And you're husband can't HEAR you! I got a kick outta watching the facial expressions of the girl who was driving. She looked like what MOST of us would've been looking like.

I thought about that, too. And, yeah, Tamara and Gretchen making up sounds so fishy to me, because they HAVE made up once before. But, to be honest, I don't think their efforts will matter much in the future anyway, because Bravo will probably begin weeding out those who NOT as wealthy as Heather (or at least comfortable as the women of Beverly Hills).

Alexis is delusional. Someone needs to sit that girl down and give her a reality check.

I know a lot of people who move out west and try too hard or move to NYC and try too hard to fit in and be "New York-y" (or at least what they think is New Yorky.)

Not meaning "Michigan is janky." Just that midwestern culture and OC culture are just different.

I know. Was just stating.

According to Gretchen's bio, she grew up in California and went to college at Baylor.

Anyone else watching tonight think Tamra looked better without all of that makeup on. I thought she looked much younger.

I watched. Hmmmm ... Not so sure if she looks better, but she certainly looks ALOT better than Gretchen did when SHE had no make-up on. OMG! It was the first time I'd ever seen Gretchen without her make-up, and all I could think was "Her face is too big," or something. It was really strange because I've always thought Gretchen was such a pretty woman, but she apparently NEEDS make-up, so she should NEVER go without it. Tamra, on the other hand, was much more tolerable.

Yes! And I must say, I think Tamra has come across much better this season than last season. I think last season she was working too hard to put up a public persona (due to the divorce) that was maybe not the real her. I'm impressed with her decision to have her implants removed, and I liked seeing all of the (realistic) mixed emotions she had about signing the divorce papers, even though she's trashed Simon so harshly for the past two seasons.

Brooks. Hm. There is something not quite right. The greeting cards thing is a little overbearing-creepy to me, but Vicki seems to like it.

I thought Alexis' and Jim's convo at dinner was interesting. I'm surprised Jim acknowledged Alexis' financial contributions through her job at the TV station. Not surprised to hear him start to push back when Alexis started talking about her business ventures, but surprised that Alexis got a bit of an attitude with him and pushed back.

That's cool. You should definitely also post this in the letters sighting thread.
