I can't begrudge Gretchen spending a weekend w/ her family while Jeff was ill. (Who knows when/if she would get a chance to visit them again.) That's personal family stuff. Dating Slade...... That's a whole nother ball of wax. lol!

As savvy as I assumed Jenna was about real estate it would not be surprising if she owned several properties for investment purposes. Vicki was always too loud for me I must say I find her a little odd looking which is not nice but true.And little Miss Tamra may already have karma kicking her in the behind with all the woes with her son and the unemployed hubby and her "bidness " all over the tube and internet.

jeanna said she owned 3 or 4 houses when she was kicking her husband out and told him to pick 1 to live in.

I also seem to remember early in the show, maybe second season, Jeanna saying each of the kids have a house when they're old enough.

Great post, Lori32. I also still like Vicki and Tamra. Others have said bad things about them. All the housewives do it. A lot of it is for drama on the show. Kappy stated: Lynn? Way too out of it for my tastes. I agree, Kappy and that's exactly what Tamra and Vicki have said about her. I think it's their peronalities. Vicki/Tamra are quick thinkers/quick witted, whereas Lynne is much slower to respond. They are just different people.

I think Vicki is doing better for Vicki's business sake - she almost lost a client because he watched the show and didnt like what he saw - she said most of her clients are old and dont watch Bravo - and she came up with the bad editing line - I think she gets carried away when she drinks - lets down and wooHOO's... I will miss Jeanna -

Vicki on last night's show was like the prototype of the ugly American. Goes to Italy, is frustrated they don't speak English, complains about the boutique hotel being small, asks which Italian wine tastes like a CA wine....blah blah blah. If you want to drink CA wines, stay in CA. If people not speaking English frustrates you, stay out of Italy. And France. And Spain. If you want a hotel like the Ritz Carlton, stay at the Ritz Carlton. How hard is that? Choosing between Tamra and Gretchen is like choosing between a broken leg or a heart attack. I pick neither. They deserve each other, although I think Tamra really IS jealous of Gretchen. Bye Jeanna! I don't care that Lynne is getting a face lift. Go for it. Nor do I care that her daughter is getting a nose job. Her younger daughter's reaction was strange, but....

This week's show was like a train wreck. It's just not that watchable anymore. I guess the new women just don't gel or something....not interesting at all. Lol, Tishala, I missed Vicki wanting the CA wine...oh geez. She would have had more fun @ her cabin at the lake. I tuned her out after the hotel complaints. How old is Lynne?

oh she didn't want a CA wine, she wanted an Italian wine that tasted like a CA wine. And the poor waiter was like, "which region?" because, c'mon, Italy has some amazing wines. I think Lynne is 53 but I might be wrong.

OMG Tish! I just finished watching last night's episode and was coming in here to call Vicki out on being the rude and obnoxious American! She kept saying the wait staff didn't speak English! All I heard from him was English! I wonder if Bravo paid for that trip. They didn't look like they were having that much fun. Train wreck is a good word for this. The only positive thing I can say is that at least it's showing the women having financial problems, which is probably the only REAL part about this show. Oh and I'm thankful they blurred Slade's bits that weren't covered by that sock. I think Tamra is receiving a karmic reaction. I don't feel sorry for her at all. She's so consumed by jealousy, I'm surprised she actually will let Alexis join the show.

It's obvious why Vicki was as obnoxious in Italy as was shown.... her mother. OMG, that woman is just awful. She was unimpressed with everything they saw and behaved worse than a petulant 4 year old having a tantrum. Not impressed with the Colosseum? Really? Wow. And she was poo-pooing everything else they saw. She's just an uncultured buffoon! Hoping Bravo didn't pay for that ungrateful ingrate's trip to Italy!

and what else I cannot understand - education... Seriously - I so want to go to Europe - and I get that over there they classify wines by regions (lands) while over here we do more so by "grape" the only exception I've seen is the Champagne region - mostly Chardonnay grape - with a hint of Pinot Noir (for body) - but there is no arguing that the Champagne region of France... yadda yada I know.. but still its what made me want to reach into the tv screen and strangle her (and her mother!! lol) its just tv - was it good tv - ratings?? *sigh.. I'm just weird.

I can't believe the way Vicki calls Jeanna and Gretchen toxic considering the way Tamra speaks to and about everyone. Tamra and Vicki are such hypocrites this season that they almost (and I did say ALMOST) make Slade look good next to them. Gretchen's mom was great in her advice to her daughter. I don't believe Vicki when she says her daughter earned a 4 year college degree in 3 years. More likely she earned the 2 year AA degree in nursing and took 3 years to do it. I just don't believe a word the woman says any more. And then there's Lynn's daughters and the body issues not to mention the underage drinking. I agree with Cricket that it's like watching a train wreck at this point.

Kappy: And then there's Lynn's daughters and the body issues not to mention the underage drinking. It's so sad that the one daughter is so very upset and Lynn and her older daughter just don't seem to care or get it. Lynn is more of a friend to these girls than a mother.

Yes, but it turned out that the other daughter was more upset about the amount of money they were spending on her sister than the fact that she was changing her appearance.

It was pretty clear that Lynne's crying daughter was jealous of her sister. There is no way I am going to be interested in wasting my time watching these silly teenagers or their momma. All this bickering between the OC, ATL housewives is just not interesting.I am focusing on those 2 cities only because ther have the most recently viewed espisodes.NY and NJ aren't much better. I may have to delete these shows from my DVR as they are getting on my nerves and I can use the remote to remove them from my life !

I think they jumped the shark a while ago. I think the desperation is starting to show, both in the HWs and in Bravo. In this day and age especially, watching the antics of these women just isn't really amusing any more. And while I think it's good they are actually showing some of the hardships the wives are going thru, do you really want to watch such downer content? Not me. I watch TV to be entertained. Most of the housewives in ATL and OC have stopped being entertaining. I almost pity them.

Wow, Marameko, that's how you saw it? I must have misinterpreted it then; as I thought she was crying because she didn't want them to change themselves. I am guilty of ff'ing through some parts, so maybe I got it wrong. I'm with you Terolyn, I liked the old Bravo. So many channels I used to enjoy are now putting on garbage shows.

Cricket, you must've missed the part where she confessed about why she was upset. She originally said she was all upset because they were going to change themselves (as if a nose job would be that much of a change!). Then later on she was talking about the money, and how much would be left when SHE turned 18. She also brought up the car that was gifted last season, and then now the nose job. So yes, she started out with the misdirection about not wanting them to change, but the truth came out.

Thanks, Costacat and Marameko. I did miss the above part. Lynne is no better than the fake women she hangs with and she's raising two fake daughters...so materialistic. She's not raising her daughters to realize the value of money, except how much of it there will be for them. Very sad.

Yup. So you end up with bratz who have a major sense of entitlement. And potentially other issues, since Lynne doesn't seem inclined to worry about her daughter's "occasional" drinking. Occasional ILLEGAL drinking.
