The REAL Housewifes of Orange County - Page 9

KSUViolet06 · #**121** 12-17-2008, 04:41 PM

I'm late to the bandwagon and JUST started watching this show this season. I am getting caught up on past seasons right now.

Why are Vicki and Don still married? They are "that couple" that other couples don't like to go out with because they end up getting into it every time. I think it's dumb of them to consider selling their other home to buy a boat.

If the new housewife is "so obsessed with staying young" she should probably have stayed out of the sun 20 years ago. Her face looks like my new Coach bag.

I fear for Jeff's safety knowing that Gretchen is going to be responsible for IVs now. She doesn't seem like the brightest crayon. I must admit that there is something about Gretchen that does seem like she cares about him.

Vicki gets into it with everyone, not just Don. She is a true wacko, and as rude as they come.
Jocelyn, you are correct. That is exactly what I thought about the new housewife. But then, Tamra has so much Botox in her face that it barely moves. Has anyone noticed there is something irregular with the skin on Vicki's face?

like she has little flaps on the sides of her face that have been botoxed in to place? this is weird, but the texture of her face reminds me of one of those gel eye masks that you wear to bed and keep in the freezer during the day- her skin looks like molded gel that has been partially frozen.

Oh, plus she's batshit crazy.

I think Vicki has deep pock mark acne scars.

If I were Don sitting at home watching these episodes and Vicki's interview commentary, I'd be furious. I'd also be hurt that I raised her two kids but Brianna only considers him "her mom's husband." My parents are still married and I don't know many people with divorced parents, so I'm probably not fully grasping the severity of the situation of feeling like your father isn't interested in knowing you. I imagine it'd still be painful for Don to hear that though.

Not a fan of Lynne so far. She tries way too hard to be her daughter's friends and not their mom. And the conversation over lunch about hangover cures? It sounded like her daughter was definitely trying to sound cool for the cameras, saying she'd tried these before and everything. What an idiot. Hold-cold-hot showers? You're 18 and a senior, I doubt you've had a lot of wild crazy nights. And if I were having these conversations with my mom when I was in high school, I'd be in trouble for admitting I'd been drunk before!

Benzgirl · #**126** 12-18-2008, 12:08 PM

I think a lot of Brianna's problems stem from Vicki hauling her out to California where she had no contact with her father. Back in Season 1 or 2, Michael spent the summer with his father working construction. Ex-Mike didn't come across as irresponsible on TV.

I absolutely can't stand that douchebag that is Tamra's son. I forgot his name.

He basically wants the lifestyle that Tamra and Simon have but does not want to work for it. Plus, he decided he didn't want to be a CHP because he got a ticket? I call bullshit. My guess is that he realized that he'd actually have to work hard to get through the Academy and not make the millions he thinks he is worthy of. I can't stand idiots like him.

Too bad Lauri left but with a son battling heroin addiction, I can understand her decision to leave.

Benzgirl · #**128** 12-20-2008, 01:12 PM

^^^His name is Ryan, and no matter how tall he wants to make his hair, it doesn't hide the fact that his hairline is receding.

I agree, he is am immature a$$.

HAHAHAHAHA!
That's EXACTLY what Mike said when we were watching the show this week.

Have you read any of the stuff about her and George and the drama with his ex-wife? I've been reading up on their crap in the ocregister and it's some eye opening stuff. He's not the "Prince Charming" he's made out to be. He's an ass.

Did you read about George's ex-wife and her hook up with Dennis Rodman?

Yup and she's no prize either.

The only ones I feel any sympathy for are the kids who are dragged into all this b/c their parents have egos and issues.

WVU alpha phi · #**133** 12-22-2008, 04:30 PM

I decided to check ocregister after your posts, and wow. It sounds like their entire family is a complicated mess.

Benzgirl · #**134** 12-22-2008, 04:51 PM

You know, I think all of them are a mess. Think about it.

Vicki complains that her ex is an alcoholic. Has she looked in the mirror lately? She is also batshit crazy and a control freak. There is nothing I like about this woman. She is mean and thinks the world revolves around her.

Jeanna, as much as I love her, lets her soon-to-be ex live in the house. He is also whacked out from taking a whack in the head when he was playing for Oakland (hit in the temple by a foul ball). Her eldest son is most likely on steroids and her daughter thinks going to Berkley is a step down.

Tamra thinks she is the be all, end all. And as I have said before, has so much botox in her face that it doesn't move.

Lauri...well, read the OC Register. It's probably just a matter of time before George leaves her for someone else and not only asks for the ring back, but every cent of the wedding, her Mercedes, etc.

Things are just starting to surface about Gretchen. There are a lot of stories on Jeff and his multiple wives. Interesting...over the weekend, I was reading an old blog from Jo de la Rosa, and Gretchen posted a response. I didn't realize she was a a friend of Jo and Slade's and had actually discussed another reality show with Bravo a couple of years ago.

Glad Quinn and her chest torpedoes are gone. I miss Tammy Knickerbocker and her daughters. I didn't see season 1, so I missed the episodes on Kimberly, the trophy wife.

So why do I love this show so much?

Fawn Liebowitz · #**135** 12-22-2008, 05:56 PM

ugh...Kimberly. I don't think she was really a trophy wife, she just considered herself to be one. She was in great shape and tan (which led to her skin cancer), but had giant fake boobs out of proportion to her tiny body, and the least attractive face of any of the housewives. She was probably the snobbiest, too. I was happy she left.

Good riddance to Jo and Quinn, too.

ETA: Wow, I always assumed Slade left because of Jo. I was reading some other articles and they said his son has terminal brain cancer. Was this mentioned on the show? If so, I missed it.
