I really don't like Vicki either, but this time I felt she really was wronged by the others and I did feel sorry for her. Those stoopid other women just don't understand what the concept is of a GIRLS' WEEKEND!!! I would totally be upset if I'd planned a fun weekend for the girls and the guys kept showing up. This little holiday wasn't intended to be a lovers' rendezvous.

I also have to say that I'm disliking Simon a lot more, and I have a lot less respect for Tamra and Alexis. If I was in a relationship where my SO thought he had to join me for every activity, I would definitely kick his arse out the door. Alexis and her husband are pretty much sickening to me (esp his attitude). Those HWs are acting like it's the 1950's and um, last I checked, women were pretty strong and able to things on their own.

Slade showing up... well that was Slade's choice and I think it was a wrong one. I think Slade did it intentionally to mess with Vicki more than to protect Gretchen from the other women. I think he was stirring the pot and that was totally unnecessary.

This was an awful episode. I kinda felt like I needed to take a shower afterwards. Kinda disgusted at these people.

It is like bizzarro world when we begin liking Vicki more than some other housewives, isn't it? She seems to have calmed down considerably since last year. I have also liked when they've showed her cooking and doing homey sorts of things. She knows her way around a kitchen, who would've thunk?

The ladies should have told Vicki, I'm sorry I can't make it because my husband and I love being together and we don't enjoy vacationing apart. I wouldn't blame them at all for not going. I know I wouldn't. I love spending my time with my darling husband and could care less about being away from him to be with a bunch of women. But they should have told her no instead of blindsiding her.

I think all of them, except for Alexis, said yes to the all girls' weekend. Simon invited himself along. Alexis was the only one that said she wouldn't go anywhere without hubby. I think Tamra would've gone without Simon. Definitely.

I am really liking Vicki a lot more this season. I did feel bad for her. If the gals could not have gone without their husband, then they should not have gone. I used to love my business trips aways from my husband and daugther as it was special time for just me and then I would look forward to coming back home to them. I just don't agree with the "we never travel apart" Seems way too controlling to me. Not liking Alexis and Jim, just way too fake to me. 2 nannies, how lucky for them! Her whole life is spent on making sure she looks like arm candy for her husband.

I don't like the new couple at all. He's a control freak and she's a prima donna. I really think Slade needs to get a job. And Simon needs a real job and needs to stop trying to control Tamra. I agree that all the women should have turned down Vicki for a girls' weekend if they couldn't leave their husbands behind.

I had to come here to post that I also felt for Vicki this week. She may have a difficult personality but those women were so wrong to think they could just show up with their uninvited husbands and it would just blow over. Incredibly rude and insensitive, especially because none of the men like Vicki and the group sat around and talked about her on a special trip that she had made all the arrangements for. Even Lynn felt uncomfortable in the paired up group and retired early. Alexis lamented that she felt uncomfortable leaving just the two nannies in charge, maybe Jim should have stayed home and supervised, and Gretchen's actions offended Jim on the dinner cruise but all I could think was he shouldn't have been there anyway, it was supposed to be girls only.

These people remind me of the Beverly Hillbillies. They have lots of money but not a lot of common knowledge and absolutely no social graces.

I don't recall Jed, Granny, Ellie Mae or Jethro ever being intentionally cruel to anyone. This Orange County lot loves to be nasty.

Clampetts: Kindness, common sense and mountain manners.

Orange County: Rude, no sense other than self, no social grace.

Point well taken, Sugar, the Clampetts were likeable and kind. I need a new analogy.

didn't tamra go to vegas with the girls last season? I also didn't like the way simon kept saying "my wife' when talking about tamra, he didn't use her name once.

I think the producers are as much to blame as the ladies for what happened. They're the ones who set things up such as the hotel, air flights, etc., for these group trips so they knew exactly what to expect. That had to add to Vicky's frustration since she thinks she's the leader of this pack and yet the producers at Bravo gave her no heads up whatsoever. I'd be pissed at Bravo for being set up like that.

Seeing Gretchen a few weeks ago with her mom makes me realize where she gets her good heart from. That doesn't mean I agree with her lifestyle but just that at least I do think she has a heart. Tamra just looks worse and worse each week and yet she's clueless to that fact.

Bench Warrant Out for 'Real Housewife

One of the "Real Housewives of Orange County" is officially a wanted woman -- accused of blowing off a judge in a million dollar legal battle.

Lynne Curtin and her husband Frank were supposed to appear in a Southern California courtroom yesterday to answer questions relating to a $1.2 million judgment they were ordered to pay to a former business partner -- but the couple completely bailed on the proceedings.

Now a judge in Riverside County, CA has issued a bench warrant for both Lynne and Frank's arrest.

It's been a rough year for Lynne's fam -- as TMZ previously reported, they were also evicted from their home back in August for not paying rent.

Sure hope the plastic surgeon had the foresight to get his money up front. Otherwise, I'd say he is out of luck.

I was with a friend yesterday and we were talking about the show. She made me laugh so hard. She said Lynn looked like Steven Tyler haha. So true. Anyone out there good at posting pics because I am not but would love to see them side by side.

Merry Christmas everyone from a normal housewife in the OC :-)

I was also shocked as how no one thought that bringing the husbands to a "girls weekend" was a bad idea. It clearly turns into a couples event. I was so annoyed and also felt bad for Vicky. Like some one posted above, even Lynne was third wheel on the sunset cruise.

I think it would have been a little different had the hubbies hung out together on the boat and let the girls chat instead of all of them getting luvey dovey, hugging, snuggling and kissing while Lynne twiddled her thumbs!

The whole thing with the new hw and her husband's holier than thou attitude creeps me out and also annoys me. Who the heck died and made him God? He acts judgemental to anyone that does not think like him. A little hypocrytical as well when his wife wears teeney bikinis and dresses but then sermons on how that's for his eyes only...huh? and don't get me started on the "temptation" schpeal she gave Gretchen.

OMG Kellsma............you friend is oh so correct !
I like Lynne; but plastic surgery when you are broke is being too vain for me.It's another thing to watch what you eat and make a point of exercising or even taking good care of your skin.

If Lynne would have stayed out of the sun, she wouldn't have needed such extensive plastic surgery.

Can't remember the name of the show, its on Bravo at midnight on thurs. Lynne was on and the question was asked by a viewer and she said that it was done on credit. Unbelievable that someone would be so vain as to do that when they had no money. Not only her, but her daughter too.

That's Andy Cohen's show that most of us can't stand. And honestly, I'm not surprised she said that. These people seem to live beyond their means when they really shouldn't. Skewed priorities abound with the OC HWs.

Just read today that there was a warrant issued against Lynne and Frank. Wonder if there will be any mention of any of this on the post show interviews.

Your right thanks Costacat, I don't like it either, but they said they were revealing her face and I wanted to see it. Way too much money to spend when yo don't have it.

Found this article from November. Looks like Tamra's house is in escrow as a short sale.

Infidelity? Let me see, what was that name she kept calling Gretchen?
