I can't say how much I dislike Ryan after last nights' episode - I can't wait to read Tamaras blog and how she'll spin it that he's just a "kid". His actions in the bathroom were disgraceful.

Oregon-I think the bracelets were ugly - no way someone would really pay that money for a "no name" item.

okay this is the 3rdtime I am trying to post..lol
I took the test last week and I am a Gretchen too.

I dislike Ryan too and even more at the pool party. But then again look at how his mom and her friends act in front of him, it's normal to him.

I respect anyone that works hard but I am so over Vicki already. The whole laptop in the limo thing seems like it's set up so we can see what the new girl says so Vicki can shoot her down. I know Vicki always has it with her but we get it already!

Seems like the two "head mamas" seem to have the most issues too going by next week's previews.

I put the blame for Ryan squarely on Tamra's shoulders. She thought he was cute hitting on her friends when he was 7? She never set boundaries and he's turned into a <66> because of that. Kudos to Gretchen for kicking him outta the bathroom.

Vicki continues to be one of my least favorite HWs. She does NOT need to work every second of every day. And from what I see, she sits there with the laptop in her lap but still spends most of her time gossiping with the girls. It's all just to look busy.

And they were very rude to Gretchen WRT to Jeff's will. I'm also finding it amusing that Gretchen is no longer bottom on the totem pole and instead the newbie Lynn is.

And Lynn's bracelets? Seriously fugly and definitely not worth $250. If she can get it, good for her, but I can't imagine she'll get many buyers once she's off the air.

Jeana is still my favorite HW, even tho she's got her own probs. She's the most REAL of 'em all though. And I'm glad to hear Matt finally moved out so she can get on with her life. I hope she sticks to her fitness regime this time and gets into shape. I think she'll be a lot happier if she does.

Hiya Costa! O.k., if you say we agree lots of times, then we do (I'm so damned agreeable), lol. That ballerina is naked and has a big bean-shaped head.

I couldn't take the quiz because I don't have a fiance, husband or kids. Guess you have to married/engaged and have children to participate. I'm happy knowing I don't have to be compared to any of them, lol.

I'm not married or anything. I just picked one answer consistently because it would have been what I did had I had one. The thought sends ::shivers:: down my spine!

I'm not married, engaged, or have kids. I just picked the most appropriate answer, as if I did.

And yeah, serious shivers!

No matter what it wears or where it lives, "tacky" is just plain "tacky!" I share with you a southern saying -

Well, I couldn't do it also because none of the answers even closely resembled what I would really have thought. I knew I wasn't getting married for a long time by now, and I can't have kids, anyway. So the quiz was kind of pointless for me.

It would have been better if they created a quiz more geared around the housewives' personalities, not around their relationships with their kids and SOs.

But I'm happy not being risked to be told I'm a Vicki or Tamra!

What is your range of likeability (someone you could stand to endure lunch and a long conversation with) of the women? From top to bottom, top being best, bottom being the person you wouldn't want to be in the same room with.

Mine:

Jeana
Gretchen
Lynne
Tamra
Vicki (if she whoo-hooed even once I'd kick her in the shins, and wouldn't that be a big moment for the woman who behaves like a big drama-queen!)

If we included men, I'd put Donn at the top, and Jeana's "gay husband" right after.

I just watched the "Big Ugly Hat" episode and my ranking remains the same. I can't believe how childish Tamra and Vicki behave! Honestly! They acted so nasty to Gretchen and Lynne. Like who was it, Lynne? who said it was like they were back in high school.

And why does Vicki behave so cruelly towards her husband? And she's so flippant about it - like she's so casual in cruel remarks that you know she does it all the time, probably even more off-camera. And oh my gosh, I'm with Jeana that I would be so irritated if Vicki insisted on clacking away on her laptop everywhere they go.

I thought it was hilarious that Gretchen bought up all the hot pink hats when Tamra planned to buy one, and then didn't wear one of them anyway. I wonder if that really was intentional (as Tamra thought). Although I don't think Gretchen was seriously copying Tamra when she wanted a pink bike. It seemed like Tamra's remark to get one was just off-hand.

I don't think Lynne's going to last long on this show if she stays so quiet. Her younger daughter seems a lot sweeter than her older daughter.

I think I read an interview somewhere on the net, that Jeanna said that Vicky isn't really "working" on her computer in the car. She is just reading her emails. Jeanna said that's why she always gives Vicky a hard time about it.

I don't know, Jodie. I think that, at that time in her life, Gretchen really wasn't thinking that deeply about which hats to wear and what Tamra would be wearing. Too bad if Tamra thought it was intentional.

As for Tamra's son.... wow. Sleazy behaviour! Glad that, even as drunk as Gretchen was, she still turned him down. Must be a real kicker to his ego LMAO I guess that's what is keeping him interested, though. Sad. That kid needs to grow up a little bit (OK, more than a little bit!) as does his mother. The apple did not fall far from the tree in that house.

At Tamara's party were they actually calling raw oysters sushi? Where I come from sushi is rice rolls. Sashimi is raw fish, and raw oysters on the half shell are raw oysters. Is this a regional thing?

Same thing where I come from Chieko! Maybe Tamra should have been taught the difference between sushi, sashimi and raw oysters in her "etiquette" class.

I agree. Jenna and her daughter Kara are the only ones of them that might be nice to know. They are both real, grounded and have big hearts.

Same thing here in Toronto. Boy, their apparent ignorance appalls me. They're supposed to be "high-class"?

No it is NOT a regional thing. It's an ignorance thing. Sushi is rice, sashimi is fish, and raw oysters are oysters on the half shell.

Did anyone notice that Gretchen stood up for Vicky when she didn't want to eat the oysters and Tamra just turned around and said "listen to Gretchen" with a disgusted look on her face.

Somehow I feel that the talk about drinking and driving happened after the bowling outing and possibly the producers informed Lynn. Just seemed to pat.

Thanks gang, for reafirming the sushi thing. They do seem to be kind of clueless for thinking they are so rich and "classy."

Next week sure looks like Vicki pulls a "Vicki" without being set up like Gretchen was by Tamra. They showed her over and over again telling people it was "the plan" to get Gretchen drunk. How low and childish can you go? I wonder how Vicki will spin the getting drunk and hanging all over strange men in a bar? I don't think her husband is going to be too thrilled, esp. if the first he knows about it is when it airs. I guess it's OK for Vicki to cut loose, but not Gretchen, even if she's set up.
