Obviously I'm still not up to date with you guys (now three episodes behind), but I want to make a comment here that Ryan's a big boy, is he not? Why did a bunch of middle-aged women need to protect an adult man from a woman slightly older than him?

I also did not like Vickies son. He had the party and Jeanna called Vicky who was out of town to tell her about it. He was telling his friends that she should mind her own business and just sell their house like she was supposed to do and he was really putting her down. He seems like a wise mouth just like his mother.

It almost sounds like it's Tamra's idea to get Gretchen drunk and then her son goes too far with it - IF that's what really happens. Someone definitely should stop her and Huk, if you didn't give me a swift kick in the pants for acting like that, I would have to not be your friend anymore - not that you would want to be mine if I didn't stop! LOL Seriously though, it seems like teens trying to be "mean girls" and getting the new girl drunk or stoned or "you name it." Vicki and Tamra acted like idiots at the track. It also definitely appears Vicki's husband is getting really sick of her put-downs that she says are "jokes." I only watched some of this the first season and then just couldn't get into it and ended up watching a whole slew of reruns over the holiday and read this thread so I guess I'm now watching it.

Tamra is truly jealous of Gretchen. Vickie's behavior at the track is best described as ugly. If Vickie has a smart aleck kid who would be surprised ?

Ok, here is my take on a few things. When I saw Gretchen go from talking about Jeff and the doctors to suddenly jump to the ring... I imagined myself and why I would have done something like that. First of all I wouldn't want to break down in front of the cameras and secondly sometimes you just have to stop yourself from thinking about the illness before you get so down you can't come back up, so she focused on the excitement about her ring. I know a lot of people seem to not like her, but, I am not going to judge what their relationship was. It appeared that they made each other happy. At this point, Tamra and Vicki can just go, I don't find them entertaining or amusing. If Tamra truly was trying to get Gretchen drunk, she sunk to an all time low. I hope for Gretchen's sake she didn't do anything she'd regret (other than doing all the shots).

I thought Tamra might have had some redeeming qualities, but I now see she is just as bad as Vicki, you know what they say (birds of a feather) well this is a prime example. I couldn't believe how rude those two were. I felt sorry for Lynn when she was sitting at the table alone and the other girls couldn't bring themselves to be nice to her by inviting her to their table, what a lack of class.

How about Tamra's comments about the outside table being for the chunky women.... Lynn and Gretchen are FAR from chunky. They're both smaller than Tamra. The only one who *might* have been considered 'chunky' would be Jeana and she seems to be more into working out than the ever-so-perfect Tamra. Last season Tamra seemed reasonable but she's showing a really ugly side this season and Vicky is just being her usual self.

Tamra seems to be trying too hard. At the River party for instances - she went back and forth between groups - and when Vicky validated her "gossipy" movements, she hung more with Vicky (my opinion on her movements that were shown) It seems to me the more she hangs with Vicky the cattier she gets, which I see as a way Tamra is using to have VIcky "like" her. Last season she met with Gretchen and seemed to get along with her, but then when she saw that Vicky was embracing Gretchen, she started to slam her - and was rewarded with VIcky's friendship. Now Laurie worked for Vicky when she was in a bad place, and Tamra's dh isnt working - so maybe she's just "networking" and I wouldnt count Jeana and Vicky's friendship being over, they seem to have a long history, but then again, maybe they are seeing a different side of each other due to the show...

I don't know if anyone reads the Bravo blogs but I did the other day for the first time this season and Lauri made a good point. She said something like the show isn't about the housewives and their families, it's all about forcing them together and creating drama.

Yes Costacat, Laurie met George because of RHOC. He saw her on the show and sent her some very expensive shoes as a way to woo her. When they did the recap show after the first season she talked about it and showed the shoes but did not mention his name so the show is toally responsible for her new life. It is obvious that they put them together such as Del Mar, dinner parties, hat parties, etc...I would rather just see real life. I think the whole thing at the track was a waste of time.

You have to have forced drama on these "unreality" shows otherwise who would really watch and come in here and bicker about it back and forth. Shout out to the my ravens for their victory today!

For some reason my network (Slice in Canada), went and skipped an episode. All they had were reruns, then the 4th of July episode. I truly say that I want to rip my ears off every time Vicki who-hooed. It was like every freaking five minutes. Was it bad to say I was thrilled when she got popped in the head with a football? I have to admit the only time I agreed with her throughout the whole episode was her feelings on Tamra grabbing and rubbing up against her husband's crotch. As for Jeana, it WAS totally inappropriate that she brought the guy Vicki hates so much. But it was ridiculously immature of Vicki to refuse to sit at the table with them. I think Tamra had such a big meltdown over the "nugget" tattoo because she was drunk and had an audience. Like geez, the guy is covered already, who cares? All that melodrama "It means I'm a bad mother!!" was just a display for everyone to enjoy. Of course Simon defended Ryan, Tamra was behaving like an idiot. As for Gretchen, I didn't see anything wrong with her actions. It's a tough job to be a caregiver. I don't think I could possibly say what I'd do if it were me until I were in that position. Until then, I'll be non-judgmental about it. Lynne's daughter, the 18 year-old. Her behaviour was of the biggest spoiled brat I'd ever seen. She's been getting what she wants way too long, and now it's too late to correct. Her mother can comment on her daughter's behaviour all she likes, but she's largely responsible for it. After her behaviour and leaving her own party, she shouldn't get a freaking car. She already looks like she's had way too much tanning - he mother was right that she'd had enough and didn't need a second go. Her sister STILL wasn't as dark as she was after two times.

I wanted to slap Tamra from California to New York. <93> I cannot stand her. <93> Gretchen was totally set up. And as for Lynn's daughter and her friends drinking underage at the bowling ally, I wish they would have gotten caught. I sure hope that none of them drove home. What an awful show.

This show really makes me look forward to RH of New York more than ever. It starts Feb. 17, and the preview of the first show sounds like a real brawl!!

The chef at Tamra's dinner party was Brian from Top Chef, Season 3. Bravo show to Bravo show. It was Brian Malarkey and I thought he seemed familiary so looked him up and sure enough, he was from Top Chef.

I agree with those who find Vickie, Tamra and Ryan all <93>. I have not yet finished watching last nights episode but it is apparent that <93>. It was also rude when Tamra pointed at Gretchen in an earlier episode and loudly asked "Did you go to Bass Lake"? No wonder that Chef looked familiar, I thought maybe he was someone from the Food Network. While Tamra has a lovely home just the loud conversation and interaction did not make this an elegant dinner party.

There was absolutely nothing elegant about this dinner party. It got to the point that I couldn't understand what anyone was saying because everyone was talking so loud. And what's with Tamra saying that Gretchen can spend the night at her house instead of Lynn driving her home? She's setting Gretchen up but letting her crash at the house?
