The REAL Housewifes of Orange County

I thought it would be Gretchen leaving. I don't know when they filmed the show, but I thought it might have been around the time her husband died.


I wouldn't mind if Vicki leaves though, she's annoying & so terrible to Don. Poor guy.

We all know that one housewife will be leaving on this Tuesday’s episode (December 9) of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County”, but who will be filling the void after the mystery housewife is gone? The answer is Lynne Curtin, a “sexy, stay-at-home mother of two teenage girls.” She is also a former gymnast, does not like to say no to her children and has a “strong jaw.” Curtin and her husband, Frank, will be making their “housewives” debut in the December 16 episode.

Here’s more information about Curtin.

Re-posted from realitywanted.com:
The toned and tanned Lynne Curtin, a sexy, stay-at-home mother of two teenage girls, joins the cast of Bravo’s hit docu-series “The Real Housewives of Orange County” in a new episode airing Tuesday, December 16 at 10 PM ET/PT.

Tamra Barney, Vicki Gunvalson and Jeana Keough are still rattled over meeting blonde bombshell Gretchen Rossi. But tensions escalate even more when the newest housewife, Lynne Curtin, attempts to join the clique. Lynne and her husband of over 18 years, Frank, are happily married and own a beautiful seaside home in Laguna Beach, Calif., where they enjoy every minute of their active Southern California lifestyle. A former gymnast, Lynne is an avid surfer, runner, horseback rider and kick-boxer – and she has the toned body to prove it. Lynne does her best to keep control of her outspoken teenage girls – Raquel, 18, and Alexa, 16 – but her desire to be a friend to them often interferes with her lackluster disciplinary efforts. Lynne’s laid-back philosophy on life flows into her lax parenting style: “I want to be the cool mom… I don’t want to say no.”

Meanwhile old friendships are becoming strained with the other housewives as a rift begins to form between longtime friends and neighbors, Jeana and Vicki. Jeana defends Vicki’s ex-husband, prompting Vicki to yell, “Don’t you dare defend him. He never gave me a dollar in child support or helped me a minute.” Jeana feels differently: “I always felt Vicki took the children by moving from Chicago, and how could he be a good father when she took them to California.”

I guess you all are right, Lauri is the one that leaves.

I like Lauri and liked following her romance with George. I wanted to see how well the blended families got along too. It's a shame she's leaving the show!

With blonde highlights. If you read the quotes from Oprah, Jeana adds the blonde because, "Blondes get noticed"

She's still a brunette though.

This reminds me of the time my aunt bought my 14 yr old cousin shampoo for blondes. My cousin has really DARK brown hair. But according to my aunt, in the summer, my cousin gets light brown highlights, so she's not "technically" brunette. I was looking at her like !?!

Looks like Lauri's outta there. It makes sense with all the drama going on with Josh. I'm glad he was sentenced to jail time, something needs to straighten that kid out. I do feel bad for her though, in what should be such a happy time in her life, she's having to deal with her troublesome son.

Could Vicki be any meaner to Don? No wonder their marriage is on the rocks, every comment she makes is a jab at him.

Does anyone else think these women talk about sex way too much? Granted they're all old enough to be my parents so maybe I'm thinking along the lines of "old people having sex", but they make a lot of sexual innuendos.

We all agree that Vicki is a nut case. She was point-blank mean to Gretchen at the spa then throwing Don under the bus showed she only cares about herself. She needs to realize that not everone is lovey dovey, kissy kissy after 10 years like Tamra and Simon. She comes across as a spoiled brat.

Since Lauri has not been trying so hard, I do like her better. I read her blog on BravoTV. com about the lunch at the spa and really wished she had spoken up. Tamra was so mean-sprited to Gretchen.

I really liked the scenes from the Indy 500. Brought back memories when I always had VIP passes to the CART and IRL races. And yes, Arie is a ladies man and a complete A$$.

She really wants people to feel sorry for her. She always says how Don is so mean, and he doesn't "fill up her love tank." Umm excuse me, but don't blame Don. YOU did that, you pushed him away. I'm surprised that he hasn't filed for divorce or anything like that.

Poor Don really wanted to go to Mexico w/ Vicki and the kids, and something tells me that he had wanted to go other times before (despite what Vicki says), but Vicki just cared about herself & didn't notice (or care) that Don was interested.

Does anyone else remember from a previous seasons, I think it was a BBQ at Jeana's house, and she was saying how nice and lovely Don was?

I could so see Jeana and Don getting together and keeping the drama alive.

I do remember that, but Jeana and Vicki are good friends and it's reality TV, not a fictional series. I hope that wouldn't happen!
