The REAL Housewifes of Orange County

[Benzgirl]

Wow, you are right: http://realitychex.wordpress.com/200...e-passes-away/

the newest member of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County” has lost her fiancee, Jeffrey Beitzel, to leukemia. Gretchen Rossi, who is thirty-years-old, attended the funeral services for her late fiancee on September 13. Beitzel was 54-years-old. He is survived by Rossi and his four children.

ETA....
Whoa!

I've been reading all over the internet about Beitzel and Rossi. He had been married 5 times (twice to the same woman) and began seeing Rossi 3 months into HER marriage. The Absurd to Sublime Blogspot has some good reading. Read the posts by Jeff's sister, Judy Fike. Now it makes sense that Jo de la Rosa introduced Gretchen to Jeanna.

Also, Gretchen was Jeff's West Coast GF, but he had an East Coast GF as well

All of them look so much better in age-appropriate clothes. Jeana looks fantastic. I had to laugh when Lauri showed up at the studio with no makeup, except for false eyelashes.

WOW, i'm sorry those have to be HEAVILY airbrushed. Gretchen & Tamra don't even look like themselves, and Vicki looks soo much younger (like 20 years younger, at least). WOW @ Jeana, although I honestly think that picture ages her.

Interesting that they don't mention that Gretchen has been married. I can't wait to see how this season unfolds.

After watching last night's episode..

I'm glad Gretchen stuck up for herself against Vicki when they were at the Beverly Hills spa. I'm getting sick of the "new girl" comments, especially from Tamra, who seems to forget that she was the new girl last season. I think the women are giving her such a hard time because she's significantly younger and prettier than them.

I can't believe next week someone will be off the show. I like all the women this season so I don't want anyone to leave! I wonder if it will be Lauri since they kept mentioning they don't see her much now that she's married.

I thought it was so hilarious the way they kept talking about "hazing the new girl".
