We’re back in the OC already. It seems like we were just there! I am noticing Vicki’s face swelling in the previous clips than I did the first time through. Now I see what y’all are talking about. I generally do more typing than looking on this show. Um, scene one and I already have to be mean. I don’t know whose outfit is worse, Vicki’s strapless sundress with white around her midsection, or Alexis’s black coochie cutters. I’m starting to think it is my TV or the way that this is filmed. I did smash some buttons accidentally the other day and my TV may be set wrong. Everyone looks wide as a barn. Crap it is my TV.
Heather has a radio gig. Let’s count the number of times Heather takes a stab at Terry. Heather is pretty good on the radio. Of course she is going to talk about how she is not a bully. I really want Terry to come in on the break and give her a shot of botox above her left eye. Her right eye is jacked up a full half-inch higher than the left and it bugs me.
Alexis goes by Lydia’s house and the very first thing she says to Alexis is that Heather said she has a fake diamond. Rather than Alexis saying, “”yeah, I do, and I keep the real when in the bank” she acts like she is being bullied. Alexis, this is something you told everyone on national television, why do you suddenly care now? Answer: She doesn’t Lydia has been cast as the carrier pigeon for this franchise. When they want you on the show but don’t have a strong storyline for you, you get to be the little birdie who carries the gossip between the warring factions.
Heather and Terry join Lydia and Whatshisname for dinner. When Whatshisname tells them that they can’t have the cover because they are not a household name, Heather says something to the effect that it is so kind of you to offer but I think we are just going to stick a pin in that for now. HOWEVER. It was an extended frankenbite, which is to say that her entire response was dubbed back on top of the scene during editing and based on the look on Lydia’s face it wasn’t nearly as polite. Heather is being a complete bitch now. She tells Lydia that she will be known by the company she keeps so if she wants to be friends with Alexis, then …(insert condescending look here.)
How does Gretchen draw so many people into her life with serious illness? Slade has to go off to be with his son who needs a very serious surgery. She of course has to stay and film. She is going to be ever so lonely with him there to take care of her. Raise your hand if you would stay home while your significant other flies off to be there for a sick child’s surgery. [JudgeStevens] I see no hands. [/JudgeStevens]
Tamra is cranky and Eddie is one of those guys that gets in the way when you are trying to get ready. Alexis has an assistant. Apparently, that is what we call the baby sitter theses days. The assistant was just sort of watching as one of the girls ate a hose from the dishwasher, or somewhere. I guess they will notice once the hoseless appliance does not work. Heather and Gretchen have some champagne and a cup of gossip before getting in their limo. Who has brought back the British term “champs” for champagne to these women? It just sounds dumb when they say it. I think Heather is going to regret being team Gretchen before this season is over.
Alexis comes in with a gift for Tamra and a semi-apology she wishes Tamra well on her business endeavor. Tamra gives a little tour to Alexis and Lydia. Alexis says it is impressive. It’s awkward. Lydia apologies for Tamra not knowing she was coming. Gretchen comments on everything Vicki says. Essentially, Lydia, Alexis and Vicki are getting the ice queen treatment from the other girls. When Vicki is asked about Troy she says yes, she has a baby now! And Gretchen asks if Vicki had the baby. Because Gretchen is an idiot. This leads Vicki to say, “She’s a stupid person.” Tamra sticks up for the stupid person.
Dinner time! Hey Bravo, you need to invest in some place settings that are just as nice as the place settings you rent. Those little slips of computer paper with the names typed on them stuck to a place card look tacky. Vicki tries her best to give a toast to a clean slate. It was sort of Vickish. Tamra says, “Well as long as we are being honest, I am curious as to why Alexis even wanted to come here. ” And….cue the harpies to back up Tamra…altogether they say “we’re not ganging up on you!” in perfect harmony. Careful there girls, it seems Tamra is going to leave the little gang of mean girls and join the other side this season. I would not be so quick to jump into the fray unnecessarily here. Have you tried the entrée? I’d take a big bite and keep on chewing until things start being thrown, then if you wine glass is in a neutral zone, rescue it and retreat. Hear me now and believe me later bitches…
Oooops too late. To be continued …
P.S. And fuck the entire cast this week for making me on Jesus Jugs side. I also didn’t find any new excuses to hate Lydia. So, like ….epic fail?
Tamra is so unnecessarily mean that it’s hard to watch. Why does she go after Alexis? I know she’s jealous of her looks but Alexis is harmless. There’s no way she’s getting a wedding special. Who would watch?
It’s so odd. Tamra keeps saying she is nervous or feels uncomfortable that someone she is at odds with is going to be where she is, and then she attacks.
She was nervous around Vicki because they had a friendship. She doesn’t like Alexis so she had her guard up. We’ve all been around someone we don’t like or have beef with, imagine if said person threatened to sue you. I’d have my defenses up too, which would make me jumpy.
No. I have a backbone. I would not be nervous. I hate that Alexis showed more character than anyone by going in and facing them.
And gee thanks for explaining the background to me. I’ve never seen the show before.
Anyway, my point was not really whether or not Tamra was “jumpy”. My point was that she attacked both times. Vicki let her have her way. But Alexis did not and it made her even crazier. She’s a wacko.
I love Tamra. I hope she doesn’t become friends with judgemental Vicki again. Vicki is such a hag for dating dead beat Brooks. Brooks has to photoshop a picture of his child into a picture with him… he is an ass.
Alexis is so stupid. I hate people that cry that that they are bully victima. Grow up. You’re an adult Alexis.
*bully victims.
How does dating him make her a hag?
Because he is fat, blading, and ugly. He doesn’t even have a good personality to make up for the fact he looks like shit.
He is a womanizer who has been on the national news for not paying child support for his many kids. And hag Vicki wrote a letter to the judge asking to keep him out of jail.
He even had to photoshop pictures of his child into a picture with him. His kids are in Miss. While he is f*cking around with Vicki in CA.
Vicki is awful. Just awful.
That still does not make her a “hag”. Maybe pathetic to settle. Or dumb or simpleminded. But hag doesn’t really fit.
Alexis came on her best behavior. She was polite and said she didn’t want to ruin the party. Tamara practically jumped out of her chair wanting to cause a fight at her own party. A hostess with any shred of decency or class would have restrained herself and put Gretchen and/ or Heather in check. Gretchen is a nasty little piece of work. Heather needs to understand that having been a victim of being bullied does not give her a permanent hall pass to be a bully. Not a good look for this trio tonight. Not a good look at all.
I used to like Tamra, but now she annoys the shit out of me. She isn’t a lady. While I don’t necessarily like Alexis I never thought she was bullied, I do think she was attacked. These women all came after her. They did. However, they ALL have been guilty of that from time to time. And that is what I can’t stand. They all complain about the other, but fail to realize they ALL do that. Hypocrisy at its best. Vicki is the worst one. She played victim all last season and never recalled the shit she pulled prior to this last season.
Can not stand Vickie. Can’t even stand to look at her face. That dress was awful on her. For someone with a great income, her clothes not only are too young looking for her but they look like they come from K-Mart. Not to mention being a couple of sizes to small. What a spiteful bitch she is. She is still playing the victim. At least tonight she was. What an asshole. Why did she bring Alexis anyway? Oh right. For dramatic effect. Lydia. Those eyeballs are like Barbara Bush. And the donkey girl could eat an apple through a picket fence. Sorry. I get in a bitchy mood watching these bitches act like immature thugs. Got me in a bitchy mood.
Tamra looked ridiculous and ignorant tonight, I’m totally team Vicki/Alexis/Lydia. Even Heather has become as bitchy as Tamra and Gretchen this year. I’m not into the overuse of the word “bully,” but those girls really are awful. Tamra and Gretchen aren’t any fun at all, just desperate for drama and screen time.
Okay, it took me a full five minutes to stop laughing at your comment about the kid chewing on the hose. I am going to call the next guy I hate a “hoseless appliance”.
While I don’t think “those girls” are being bullies, I do think they are being ridiculously mean and ignorant. They are sidestepping responsibility by constantly focusing on the word bully. It’s crazy to me that they really don’t/can’t/won’t see how mean and childish they are.
Agree with you all the way, Tiffany. I also think bravo has gone way over board with all these wedding/spin offs . Tamra is nothing more than trash and Heather is right behind her. Heather and Tamra both have turned into trouble making biatches.
I’ve been reading your blog for many months now and have never commented; but, after watching RHOC tonight and seeing how awful Tamra/Gretchen/Heather acted; I couldn’t remain silent. They are all hideous and just plain horrible; I can’t believe that either of them sleep at night! Very classless behavior. But, they’ll soon realize that ‘what you do comes back to you’. Karma!
I love watching Lydia’s face tonight when the ladies were arguing! I’d have probably acted just like that if I’d have been thrown into that situation like. I didn’t notice here teeth so much tonight and I liked her pony tail at the party.
I don’t really like any of these ladies anymore. I wish Alexis would have excused herself as soon as Tamara started her tirade. It did take a lot of nerve for her to come there after all that has happened between her and Tamara and I think she was sincere when she gave Tamara the bottle of wine or as sincere as she could be when she might get slapped across the face. BTW, does it seem that Eddie is beginning to crawfish about getting married?
Did anyone notice how Vicki kept butting in every time Tamara started to talk about her gym?
Tamara, I did notice the child with what looked like a dishwasher hose! Didn’t seem as though anyone there noticed.
Ok first the fashion, what did Lydia have on when Alexis came over to her house? I understand wearing what you want and being comfortable in your home but could she sit or bend over in that outfit around her children. Can someone please volunteer to be Vicki’s stylist? Why is she wearing clothing that does not compliment her body and is so ill fitting? What is going on with her hair?…. With that being said, why can’t these women act like adults. Tamara really what is her obsession with Alexis? Gretchen needs to go and sit small in the corner, I am waiting for the moment that the ‘group’ turns on her again (yes it was a silly spiteful comment). I loved Heather for most of last season, but the new Heather I am done with, what happened to her why is she so mean to everyone,especially her husband. Alexis, yes she has her issues, but in this particular episode their behavior towards her was uncalled for. Tamara only allowed her to come to have a fight. Yes I am on team Jesus Barbie on this one.
I think Vicki went to the Kyle Richards school of wearing things three sizes too small.
The Kyle comment made me laugh. Last year Heather was acting. This year, she can’t control herself and her real self is showing.
To me Alexis should not have attended the affair without speaking with Tamra first. She certainly should not have introduced someone new to the group before hashing out their issues. The problem is, they are not listening to each other. All of them are trying to get their point across and something is being lost in the translation.
Alexis does brag about her wealth. Who care? Vikki is stuck on stupid. Gretchen is Gretchen. Heather is “Mrs. Proper” who knows it all. Adults apologize and keep it moving. Intervention does not equate to bullying. Let them speak their peace. All they’re doing is stating an opinion, not facts. Thank them for their concerns and under your breath, them them to kiss your arse and keep smiling. It’s not worth the headache.
LOL and Amen!!!
I was so disgusted by this episode last night. I don’t even like this franchise anymore. Tamra is just vile. She looks so hard. Yuck. I think they are all jealous of Alexis because she is the most put together. Gretchen used to be very pretty but she ruined it. Alexis acted classy and was the bigger person to all of them and tried to play nice and they couldn’t wait to pounce on her and attack. Bravo needs to scrap all of them and start fresh with some new Ladies and story lines. I can’t even remember why they all hate Alexis it’s been a beat down for like 2 yrs now.
Well it’s because Alexis is an idiot. She lies and one ups and brags so much it’s impossible to have a conversation. But don’t feel bad. I had to remind myself of that too. Because last night she came off looking ok.
Right – Thanks for the reminder! Sometimes I have to remind myself that this is all just mindless dribble that used to be entertaining to me in the early days. These battles drag on so long with each franchise and character that I have a hard time remembering what starts them sometimes. LOL
Here’s my take on Alexis. You can never been an authentic friend to her because she is a narcissist that thinks she’s prefect and if you don’t agree with her 150% for the time you are bullying her. Alexis makes flip comments all the time about people. She made digs a Heather’s acting career. Did Heather call her a bully? No, was she not happy about the comment but she didn’t go off whine to her husband that Alexis is being mean to me. LOL. Well just like Nene if she says something bad about you, she’s just stating her opinion but if you say something bad about her you are a bully, hating or jealous. The problem with a narcissist and a hypocrite is that they will never get that some people just don’t like their personality.
They only reason why Alexis broke down in tears in Costa Rica was because everything they told her to her face was true. She is vapid and materialistic. Gretchen tried to tell in private how obnoxious she is but she just didn’t get it. Alexis is pretty but when she is not playing victim she’s kind of a bore.
They are all materialistic. We all know Alexis is not a well off as she claims. The problem is Gretchen and Tamara, can no longer afford to fake it as well as Alexis still can. When Alexis is as cash strapped as they are, they will welcome her with open arms. BTW I think anyone would break down if you have four/five bitches screaming at you in your face. Viki broke down when she had all of them screaming at her. Anyone being ganged up on will break down.
I can agree.
Who are they to tell anyone else how to act?
I THOUGHT that was the sink sprayer. My watching partner said it was a rubber snake toy.
I can say that there is not one woman on the show that I’d find fun to hang out with. I could find someone from each of the other shows that old at least be fun to be around or have a drink with. Not ONE of these women is humorous or has real sense of fun. Fun to me is not stalking a prairie dog like a bunch of wildabeasts. Even a one on one sparring thing has..well, there is a little sport and fun to it. But this crap is no fun to watch. Terry is the only person on the whole show that is the least bit personable and amusing. And he gets treated like shit.
I agree about Terry. Heather really doesn’t know how good she’s got it.
I co-sign everything you just said. I am so turned off from the season already but will continue watching just because I love reading the re-cap here, and I need to visualize what you guys are saying – LOL.
I so loathe the “co-sign” thing.
I rarely comment since I bring nothing but I always get the urge to write lmao after most of your comments. I don’t because that’s annoying.
Off topic~I had a friend with the nickname TC, short for The Cunt. I miss her.
You can’t spell cunt without TC, I always say.
#cosign
Biznitch!!
I’ll consign that.
ADMIN EDIT: ONCE MORE WITH FEELING. Please read the instructions before posting. Those words right before the comment box alert you to the fact that this blog does not condone stupid nicknames when referring to the housewives. Example: TrashyT NOT ACCEPTABLE. I think Tamra is trashy. Acceptable. Thanks for your cooperation.
TrashyT is neither amusing nor clever.
Not to mention annoying as fuck.
Ok, I’ll try to do better but it’s so hard.
One other thing…. is it me or does Heather’s face remind you of the chucky doll. Gross!!!
Yes, totally!!!! That is too funny!
Gretchen was a bitch for calling Vicki out on the”my baby” comment. People get all goo-goo, ga-ga over a new baby in the family, as they should. Gretchen has no sympathy, empathy for Slade’s son and seems to be uncaring in general about other people’s feelings.
Gretchen doesn’t have a clue about the real world. Only her own fake, made up one.
PS. I call MY children grown, I call their children, my babies. After all, they wouldn’t be here without me.
Are we suppose to believe that Lydia has never watched the show before? “Gretchen, do you have kids?” “Oh, we’ll you must have a boyfriend!” Please!! Also…I hate these fake introductions of themes ladies to the group. This year it was Lydia meeting with Heather Bout the magazine. When Heather came on the show she met with Tamra about a lot to build a new house on. Sooo scripted!!
Ok, so Alexis may have some issues but so does Tamara and Heather. Heather, the above the drama, no-nonsense, classy working mom – turned into a total butt hole. Why either of them are so worried about Alexis being fake, her marriage, her money, etc? It’s none of her business. Their reaction to her was over the top. Alexis was calmly attempting to talk to Tamara then all of a sudden it’s a screaming match – with dumb ass Gretchen chirping in. BTW – it wasn’t so long ago that Gretchen’s ass was on the outs…I’m glad Viki called her STUPID…..Gretchen behavior was beyond immature. Regardless, everyone knows what a faker Alexis is but last night she looked like the bigger more mature person. She should have stood up and told Heather to fuck off b/c she is the one that got it all started w/ her catty side comments…..
I think Alexis has had some serious coaching during the off season, ah, I mean therapy. She’s prepared this season.
This might be a good place to point out that Gretchen’s business, for reasons unclear to me, is doing extremely well. Which makes the reason for the upcoming fallout between Tamra and Gretchen very odd. I suppose it is more about TV time than money though. http://s17948.p858.sites.pressdns.com/2012/03/10/real-housewives-of-orange-countys-gretchen-rossi-begs-bravo-for-engagement-ring/
She’s probably doing so well b/c she’s been on hsn or the other one….she better save the money b/c once ppl see her behavior, profits are sure to drop. ppl only warmed up to her b/c they were being mean to her. now look at her doing the same thing. and tamara’s old ass really needs to sit down…..who in the hell are purchasing gym memberships in this economy? can’t stand any of them to be honest.
What’s up with Gretchen’s mouth this season? It’s like she got Botoxed around her lips? They aren’t moving when she talks. Just weird looking. I really used to think that Gretchen was cute, but now she’s turning kind of plastic looking.
It surprises me how loyal Gretchen is to Tamra all in the name of a common enemy. Maybe Gretchen is just relieved Tamra’s not coming after her? Lest we not forget how Tamra went after Gretchen in the season 4 reunion & the whole ‘naked wasted’ drama. I think a normal person would have some trust issues there, no?
“Maybe G is just relieved T is not coming after her.” You better believe it. NORMAL is the key word. People are attracted to the kind of people they are, i.e. liars get along well with liars. Fake plastic people with fake plastic people. Dumb with dumber. Pretentious with pretentious (oh no, got that one wrong, or maybe that’s why Heather keeps telling Alexis how pretentious she is because she thinks she is such a good actress). You get my drift.
Oh yeha, forgot all about that one. I just know she said some real character damaging shit about Tamara. Accused her of being a gold digger, of having a dead beat dad bf, and as you mentioned, the nude stuff and how she pointed out to viewers during the reunion that there are pics of Gretchen on the internet with dildo’s up her vajayjay drama. Tamara is an old hag beyond her prime. Viki would be a fool to get involved with her again. Of course Tamara being the bitch that she is, will have to resume her friendship b/c her and Gretchen will have a falling out…Tamara’s a real piece of work, they both are.
The blond lady on the show is named TAMRA. The lovely blogger with the ever pleasant personality is named TAMARA. Please make note. 🙂
BBBBBBBAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! You mean that little beauty behind the computer that we have all come to know and love?? That’s the one?? The one that was a famous superstar runway model when she was younger? Yup that’s her! The one on the show is known for being mean and having a bad weave. Two totally different peeps!
I agree with everyone on the comments stating that this franchise is getting pretty boring and predicable. How many times are they going to be doing a dinner party this season? I felt Alexis’ narcissistic comments when she first arrived at the gym where unnecessary, and it set a bad tone for the rest of the evening. It would have look better if she acknowledged all of the ladies endeavors instead of just her own. I am not a big Alexis fan, but I was surprised at how she handled herself at the table, and it was the right thing to do. Instead of trying to get the last word in with Tamara, which would be impossible, she should have just left. A pet peeve of mine is when your in confrontation with someone and they say what they have to, but they do not let you speak or interupt you while you say your piece. All they ladies do this, but I think Alexis and Vicki are at the top of my list with Tamara close in third. I do not condone how Gretchen, Tamara, and Heather act towards her, but I like how Gretchen pointed out to Alexis about the situation with Vicki from previous seasons. At that time, it was highly inappropriate for Alexis to confront Vicki. First, Brianna was there. I am the type of person that does not like to discuss confrontation in front of kids no matter what their age is, but it is a reality show. Two, Vicki was dealing with the fact her daughter may have cancer. If we sat here and did the should’ve, would’ve, couldve’s, it probably would not make a great episode. OH and I hope Bravo really stops pushing the Alexis and Jim “white picket fence” storyline on the viewers. I will quote Heather with “If you have it, you do not have to flaunt it.”
Jim, Alexis’ husband reminds me of Russell, Taylor’s dead husband from BH. Kind of a shady guy a hustler for a buck. I have noticed he is acting a lot less controlling of Alexis than in past seasons. And I mean ACT. I think there is a few reasons for that but way to long to state them here. He creeps me out anyway. It seems so phony and rehearsed whenever the cameras show the two of them talking and laughing together. Just doesn’t fly.
I gotta be honest. I have NEVER liked Alexis but I think Alexis handled herself VERY well. And I think all the other girls (Gretchen,Tamra and Heather) were dead wrong. If Tamra REALLY wanted to celebrate, she would have taken Alexis’ bottle of wine and just had a normal dinner. Put the bullshit aside for ONE night and lets just have a nice time. But she brings up past shit at her OWN party? Like who does that. It seemed like they all had an agenda to pick on Alexis for shit that happened 9 months ago. Especially that Gretchen. Like every 2 seconds this bitch is popping off saying some rude off the wall shit. Like who spiked her drink? Bringing up SF which was like season 4. I cant. All 3 of them were attacking her and it really was not fair. When she got up and left I was relieved for her. I wouldve just left as soon as they started going in. They were really rude. And for ONCE I saw Alexis’ side and agreed with her.
Me too! Gretchen sat her ass there and started in on Vicki. She’s talking about her grandson. Gretchen found fault in that. I mean just rude. All the shit Tamara talked about Gretchen, it’s odd that they are now friends. I don’t buy it either.
Hey Tamara..you could hate Lydia because she is FUGLY !
No, I’m not superficial. And I don’t think she is ugly. I do think she has a lot of teeth. We all have something that gives us character.
Atlanta has the Donkey Booty, now the OC comes with the Donkey teeth.
Alexis is annoying and a one upper, but I honestly think all of the others are jealous of her looks.
