And poor Lynn. She is beginning to resemble Steven Tyler.

I got the feeling from last nights episode that Vicki has had it with the show and the girls. They add nothing to her life.
Tamara screams everything and seems to be a performer all the time ( i would bet even without cameras). Everything is for the cameras. She did have a point about telling Vicki certain things and not expecting thme to be thrown back in Simons face.
Dons atitude of treating them all as if they have no significance in his life is a good one. Vicki is working her way over there.

I got the feeling last night, too, that this may be Vicki's last season.

And I noticed how shrill Tamra sounds all of the time, and not just when she's drunk. While she had a point about her "gripings" to Vicki not being thrown back in Simon's face, I think the smart thing is to either not gripe or tell that person that you are just griping and not to use this info, ever.

... And another thing. What's the deal with Lynn having a "housewarming" party when it is the same place she lived in a year ago?

At whose home was the eviction notice served?

I found Alex's husband (Jim?) completely obnoxious when he announced the price of the hotel room he rented for their anniversary: 2900 bucks? That's ridiculous. What's that old saying? "A fool and his money are soon parted." Yeah, I think that's the one that fits the situation.

What I don't understand is why Lynn and her hubby would RENT a place that big. That must be costing a fortune. They wouldn't be served an eviction notice if they owned it.

Jim and Alexa(the new couple) just love to flaunt their money. I understand that the hotel in Palm Desert is where they met but honestly, that is not even that nice of a hotel. And then to get the Presidential Suite for a weekend. Again, give me a break. I am sure a nice suite would have been just fine and I am sure that Marriott comped them the room for the advertising but I know there are much nicer resorts out there. As I have said before, I have done business with Jim and he loves to flaunt his money but certainly does not want to pay for services when dealing in business. I am seriously talking a difference of 200.00/month for a service that he was fighting me on and then I see this and how he supposedly throws around his money. I am trying to remember if they have shown his white Bentley on the show but that is what he drives around again flaunting his money. He is definitely a real jerk to deal with. When Vicky talks about "them" not working, I am sure she means that they are all in financial trouble(except Jim and Alexa) and none of them are working. Tamra was trying Real Estate again but that does nto bring in a regular paycheck, who knows what Simon is doing now, Tequila still? Lynn is doing her bracelets but how much is that bringing in and her husband is apparently not doing much in his construction business. Then, Gretchen is spending money she does not have to launch a cosmetic line and it does not look like Slade is working so she is totally right. Good for her working hard and being the only one who can afford her lifestyle.

Mistysmoke, I thought that was Lynne's younger daughter at the door accepting the eviction notice. I feel bad for her, being on TV in that position. Remember how Tammy's kids talked about being deeply affected, even years after they'd lost their big house? (Tammy, I think, was one of the earlier OC housewives, and she had two almost-grown daughters, and the girls' father died during the series. His name may have been Lou.)

Sia, you have the information correct. It was Tammy Knickerbocker and her exhusband was Lou. The girl's father passed away a couple of years ago and Tammy and her daughters were not on the show much after that.

I had closed captioning on at the time when the eviction noticed was served. It had Lynne's daughter Alexi's name on the screen who said something like "Oh My God!"

I agree w/ everyone that Vicky is ready to leave the show. I've been sensing that the past few episodes. She has nothing in common with these people. I couldn't believe the Vicky bashing after she left. It was down right nean. But than again, she treated Grtechen like shit last season and the beginning of this season.

I also can't believe (as Simon told everyone) that Don calls him up and cries to him about how bad Vicky treats Don.

Kellsma, what does Alex's husband do for a living? I can't stand that couple.

Kellsma, somehow I lost my post, but anyway, I just wanted to say that I just read the article at the link you posted and I'd have to say it's spot on and hilarious. Thanks.

Re: a letter following the article, Jim .... a porn producer?

And that was Lynn's new home. I was watching and wondering why if you have to leave your home due to financial reasons you would take up residence in a new home that looked to be even more expensive than the last one. At least they got one good party out of it. And what was with the catering staff's attire? If I paid for a bartender and servers I would expect them to dress better for the occasion than a pool boy.

Chieko, Lynn and Frank did not own that home. Frank was in construction and when the housing market took a downturn a couple of years ago they lost their house, or were forced to short-sale or something like that. They have been renting the last several years.

This season I'm not feeling these women...
Is it me, or is this season just a mess? I've gone from hating Vicki, to feeling sorry for her.

I'm with you Grooch. I'm not liking the new couple much. I feel kind of sorry for Alexa, she seems afraid of her husband. Maybe it's just me, but he seems very demanding and controlling.

I think Vicky has been doing a lot of PR work this season to re tool her image (what no WOOHOO's?) ITA with Vicky when she justifies her "woohoo" image that its just a slice of her thru a TV show - and yet, I still think they capture what YOU show - and Vicky showed herself to be more self absorbed in past seasons. I do love and feel the sincerity of Vicky and Don's last shows - it was sad to see her crying, and sweet to see Don so strong for Vicky...

the show went downhill after Jenna left... imho! Even more so knowing that the WHOLE Housewife "brand" was due to Jenna!

Chitchat, it's not you. This season is a mess as are the women on this season. I'm not liking the new HW at all. And while I don't totally feel sorry for Vicki (I agree with Reader that Vicki is trying to rework her image), and I disagree with those who say she's the most likable, she's come a long way from a couple of seasons ago.

Jim wanted a stepford wife, and got one.

Oh yeah, I about bust out laughing when Alexa was talking about Vicki's working. And says "I have three little children and a husband...". Um, yeah, don't you have TWO nannies???? How freaking much work do you do a day? Oh yeah, it's a lot of work to go to the salon, the gym, the botox guy... :-)

Costacat, I totally agree w/ you about Alexa's view on working and what she does during the day. Am I missing something? Didn't Vicky raise a few children of her own and making her own business at the same time?

Can't wait for next week's episode. It looks like Alexa wants to duke it out w/ Vicki. Alexa seems to constantly wanting to "bring it on" and fight somebody.

Alexa said that she has a full time job of raising 3 children and taking exceptional care of her husband. My mother heard that and said, "What does that mean? She's to busy to get a job because she's giving her husband bj's?


I do hope Vicky leaves after this season and Tamra gets a clue. (well that might have happened since Simone filed for divorce.) It seems that all the HWs do is get togther in the middle of the day and get drunk. Plus, I am certain that Lynne is popping pills on top of it. She's mentioned it a few times.

Oh, I forgot. Part of Alex's job is to rush home and change poopie diapers because her husband is incapable of it.

To be honest, I can't imagine her being capable of it herself.

I just saw a couple of episodes this week and this show has definitely jumped the shark. Every interaction is so forced and they can't pull it off anymore. Vicky's slumber party where everyone left? Train wreck.

What's happened to Gretchen's skin this season? Last season it looked so good and this season it looks like crap. Maybe her crappy Gretchen Christina Beaute junk....that stuff is just generic mess you can buy in any beauty supply store but with Gretchen's tacky label on it. If she charges more than a couple dollars for eyeshadow, it's a rip off. I had to LOL when she came to Vicki's office with her 'serious' hair--straight and all business. She was even wearing a blouse without cleavage! For maybe the first time since she was 14! Pathetic. Slade's job is to make sure she's satisfied in bed? Oy. I think there's a name for that.....

And speaking of skin, Tamra. When we got the closeup of her hand in HD....I wanted to hide. All the botox in the face and nothing to keep her from having those hands! But it's OK cuz she has Simon's back.....when she isn't doing stuff behind his back.

thenewgirl was maybe the least insufferable this week, but that's not really saying anything good. At least she isn't as bad as Gretchen.

And, while I think Vicki is in essence right about all this mishegoss, it's not like she's immune from it, either. She's fed A LOT of it, so the fact that people are now talking behind her back and dogging her out is kinda karmic.

Did anyone watch the Andy Cohen After Dark show? I love how he lets things slip - they taped the finale last weekend... quite a bit of time was given to the Slade doing the houeswives - and he was talking via Skype to (Lynn, no whats her name that worked with Vicki and went out with Slade!) Apparantly she didnt feel he was that well endowed - and said to watch the spray tan session to verify!! roflol

also talked about Lynn's crying jag (most people think it was prescription meds and alcohol - she admits to the lots of alcohol - but perhaps Vicki put something in her drink?)

Gretchen...

ITA its just jumped the shark!

You're thinking of Laura. The HW that got married a few seasons ago and quit the show.
