Cricket,
Lynne and Tamera have both had way too much done to their faces. They look freakish. Reminds me of Lori from earlier seasons.

Haha Beekindpleez AND I met the husband of the new housewife a couple of months ago. He was driving a nice white Bentley. He invests in real estate Apparently, home and that storyline will be part of the show. He wanted to make sure I knew his wife would be the new housewife haha. Not too impressed wit him but nice car!

Cricket, I don't think Gretchen is going to be a "regular" this season. It is kind of like when Laurie left - she never really left. Laurie was on every other episode.

Also, Gretchen and Slade got together after Jeff died last year after the show was over.

Lexie, I thought both she and Slade were going to be on the show; hence him dating her. He seems to like being on TV. I knew they got together last year and it seems to be lasting. I don't wish them an unhappiness; just don't really want to watch him again.

I'm with ya Cricket. I certainly don't wish unhappiness on anyone - I just don't want to see Slade on my TV screen. I'm probably one of the few that actually liked Gretchen. I thought she was way too nice to be hanging around the likes of Vickie and Tamra. I wish nothing but the best for her.

Bravo readily admits that Slade has dated other "housewives" just so he can stay on the show. Nice huh?

I liked Gretchen and thought she was treated really badly by the other HWs last season. I don't really care who she dates but would much prefer NOT to see Slade on my TV any more. I always thought he was a little too slippery for my liking (and controlling, too).

But I'm real glad we don't have to see Jo any more! (I still don't get it... I didn't think she was at ALL attractive!)

Slade dated Lori before Joe and before Lori met George.

I didn't know Slade dated Lori before Jo. No wonder Jo was upset they went out again after she broke up with Slade.

The guy is just smarmy.

Cricket...I wish you could remember the episode about Lauri dating Slade. They showed some pics of them dining and smooching. No video, though. Jo was fuming. She and Lauri had it out on a couch, where they each put their nice LV bags between them. LOL!

I used to see Slade bicycling around the hills here often, but haven't seen him for quite some time. He is, as you say, smarmy. He thinks he's a pretty special fellow. I do not.

Beekind, I knew about that date and saw the reunion with Jo fuming, but I never knew that Lauri dated Slade before Jo started dating him; ie, before the show even went on the air. That puts his date with Lauri after the breakup with Jo in a whole new light.

Very interesting article, Kellsma. Thanks for posting it. Hmm..poor little Jeana...not feeling the love. I don't think she's the innocent sweet thing she wants us to believe. She trashed her husband horribly and the more I see of her, the more I feel he wasn't as bad as she made him out and perhaps he didn't feel the love.

Now she's blaming Vicki for not lending her money because she can't handle money. Vicki did the right thing. Jeana was making a million dollars a year and she didn't have $200? Now she says she's only making 1/3 of that or $333,000 and she can't make it on that? Perhaps she should get a money manager or something. I'm just so over her for so many reasons.

During the dinner fight on the show tonight she just sat there and every once in awhile she'd tell one of the other fighting.."Oh, that's not nice" or "Wow..that's below the belt." Maybe she should have just stayed out of it. Perhaps the reason she doesn't feel the love is because she's passive agressive and oh so very boring!

I know I'm going to catch flack for this, but I came away from tonight's episode liking Tamra more than Gretchen. Tamra is honest, at least. She's also got a very quick wit. I'm glad she's trying to be friends with Lynne, whom I also find a bit air-headed and doesn't get things all the time; however, she seems to be artistic and it's bringing in money as her husband seems to be out of a job?? However, they obviously waited too long to find another place to live according to the above article.

The article also gives insight to the new Vicki.

I felt that Gretchen looked harder at times in tonight's episode and I'm sorry, but her laugh is hard to take. I'm just not sure she should have kept the fight up with Tamra, when it seems she did know the guy who was calling Tamra.

Tamra was being honest when she said she didn't want to be friends with Gretchen. They should have just left it at that and just be acquaintances when they must be together for the show.

I don't know how I'm going to feel about the new housewife coming in. It seems they want her to be the Teresa of HWNJ.

I personally think Tamara has a sick twisted obsession with Gretchen.

I think Tamra is totally jealous of Gretchen. Up until last season, Tamra was the "hot" housewife in the OC. With the addition of Gretchen, who actually could be considered prettier, Tamra lost her "hot" claim to fame. So yeah, twisted obsession. Fer sure.

Angelic and Costa, I thought the same last year, but now I'm not so sure. Gretchen seems to have other things to worry about this year; marriage and finances, so I'm not so sure it's jealousy or just an intense dislike of Gretchen and feeling she's not the sort of person Gretchen wants to be friends with.

Gretchen is dating Slade for God's sakes and she thinks he 'oozes sexiness.' Come on.

Maybe Gretchen is one of those who doesn't like when others get away with things she doesn't feel is right. Who knows, but I'm going to have to watch more of this season to see how I feel about Gretchen for sure. I do feel Gretchen is a slick cookie, who can turn things around and her purpose this year is to go after Tamra.

I'm wondering what will happen between Vicki and the new gal.

Whether we like Gretchen or not I think it's none of Tamra's business what Gretchen does and she does seem to spend a lot of time, by her own admission, trolling the Internet for nude/semi porno shots of Gretchen. None of her business if Gretchen wants to be sleazy. She seems overly invested in Gretchen. I tend to agree that she's jealous of Gretchen being younger and prettier because that seems to be so important in Tamra's shallow little life LOL

I've just started watching last night's ep, and I have to agree Allie. I mean, really, *I* didn't hear about any nekkid pix of Gretchen. So that means that Tamra had to go googling around to find them. She has an inordinate (and pretty unhealthy) interest in what Gretchen does.

That said, Slade... ewww. Slimy, definitely slimy.

In my above post, I meant to say maybe "Tamra" is one of those who doesn't like it when others seem to get away with things.

I don't think it's crazy for Tamra to be checking Gretchen out if this guy got her involved in everything and Gretchen played the innocent. Then, she does all these shots? Perhaps Gretchen was trying to justify her accusations from last year.

For me, Gretchen's "I'm really innocent" just ring true anymore.

I just love having the original back,especially living in OC. I am a bit tired of how much is obviously staged. The St Regis is in every season. Why would Lynn rent a suite there and host a dinner there for the other 4 housewives when money is an issue. I could understad if she was inviting buyers but not just the housewives. I am sure that the St Regis comped it all. There are a few other very nice, high end hotels in the area yet they are never featured. Very staged. Just do a nice dinner at her home. Anxious to see how this season unfolds but I really don't like the staged scenes.

I didn't get that either, Kellsma. In that article it says Lynne's family is served with eviction papers so why didn't she hold the dinner at her home? I'd thought she was going to be inviting other woman also not the really-strapped-for-cash OC HWs. Seemed an odd thing if she wanted to make sales. But, at the end of the day, I think Lynne only ever joined the show, last season, to showcase her accessory line.

I agree... Slate is just skincrawlworthy (yes, I made that a word LOL). No idea what Gretchen is doing with him. Also don't think she's as innocent as she makes out either.

I do like Jeana best out of all the housewives but the woman has to be atrocious with money if she can't make ends meet earning 1/3 mil a yr!!!!

Jeana has a 5.5 million dollar house. That may be a big part of her monetary problems. lol


Cricket said: Jeana was making a million dollars a year and she didn't have $200?

It wasn't that she didn't have $200. It was that she didn't want to get slapped with a $200 late payment fee.

However, clearly, one should never ask a friend if they can borrow money. And one should never lend money to a friend. Unless, of course, you don't care if you never get that money back.
