I had a blast reading all these posts lol! ANd Bee- wow- the OC Register comments are as entertaining as the show! Some pretty shocking stuff about Laurie and about Tanya's husband... I just can't stand that Vicki- so pushy and over controlling- she just grates on me. I do like Gretchen- I think she has a good heart and is less fake than the others. Lynne seems nicer than some of them too. I have always loved Jeanna and I would love her to meet someone who loves her as she is and makes up for her empty marriage. I really felt for Vicky's daughter about hte Lake house. It seemed WRONG to give a non family member a vote. ANd it is pretty funny I give any time to even thinking about this stuff!

I didn't think Jeanna should have been so sanctimonious about Vicki's ex husband and his right or place on Vicki's kids life. On this issue, I would think Vicki knows best and as obnoxious as she can appear or in fact is, she is a fierce mother. Jeanna's should have just supported Vicki . I thought she was completely insensitive and actually trying to upset and annoy Vicki. Not nice.

I wondered about that- but one thing that did resonate- if Vicki took the kids away it is much harder to be a good father from a distance. My mother did that- we were in Europe for a year sabbatical and my parents split up- my Mom never went back to our home in Colorado so neither did my brother and I. My Dad was never really totally in our lives again and my Mom did not really care as she was thinking about herself. (Not to mention we never were home again).

I am not a Vicki fan at all, quite frankly I find her loud and obnoxious. The nicest thing I can about her is that she is a hard worker and has beautiful homes. however Jenna should mind her own business when it comes to the comments about V's ex and their children.

I agree Megs. I thought Jeanna had a point... if Vicki left with the kids shortly after the divorce, then how could he be a father? And if he was/is also an alcoholic, ditto. And amongst friends, last I heard, it's OK to express an opinion. If you're gonna pull a Vicki and wave a finger in someone's face and be all obnoxious about it, then something's wrong. And I really don't believe these women are "friends" as much as they claim to be. Acquaintances maybe.

Oh I think they were friends - but I think Vicky went all Vicky over the house issue (where she claimed she wanted to downsize, and Don seemed happy with it - then Vicky wanted to remodel, etc - season opened with Vicky just angry at how Jeana has handled this - Scenes from next show - Jeana going all Vicky on Vicky and it looks like Vicki will pull the martre card - poor me, everyone's always picking on me - should be interesting to see how it plays out.. and then Extra/InsideEdition/Et el? Showed the women of the OC shopping on a budget for Christmas gifts - and Vicky and Tammy were shopping - so I would guess they would both be back for another season... (pure speculation - )

I don't think Jeanna had a point that Vicki has never thought of in regards to her children. Of course friends can and should express their opinion but there is a time to edit yourself when an argument is just for the sake of argument. As a friend, some relationships have places you just don't go. Those boundries should be respected. If you really want to push them and discuss such a sensitive issue,find a time off camera. They know damn well this is a TV show and that there will be a time when production is not shooting to have that conversation. Jeanna was out of line and should have let it drop. Vicki was of course loud, controlling and obnoxious but that was almost beside the point.

It seems to me that Vicky's behavior has gone from bad to worse to downright pathetic as the shows progressed. Her feedback filter must be programmed to make Vicki more and more self destructive.

I think so, too, Malaka. It's not really even amusing any more.

hey guys, I'm watching from Canada, and I have no idea where you Americans are. But I just watched the episode where Vicki was behaving really meanly about Gretchen as she was walking to the limo before their day at the spa. Also, Vicki texted and talked on her cellphone throughout the entire visit (except when toasting at lunch to "being nice". Also she didn't invite Donn to Mexico on the trip with her kids (who clearly did not want to go). I don't understand Vicki. Due to her personality, I feel I could never want/handle her as a friend. Why is she behaving so badly this season? She's acting more mean-spirited and self-centered than ever before. The person I admire most so far Lauri, just as I did last season. She acts with a lot of class and makes her kids want to be with her, rather than making them be with her. She also doesn't participate in the catty talk like the other women. Even Tamra's behaviour is better than Vicki's. (Just barely) Again, I wonder, don't these women notice the cameras? I mean, I know they're supposed to act as they would if they weren't there, but surely they could censor themselves a little, especially Vicki? I remember after the first O.C. season, Vicki was a little sheepish during the reunion. SO she should know and remember that EVERYTHING is being captured on-camera. And hearing yet more "Wooo-hooos!" makes me want to put my foot through the screen. This year, I feel sorry for Donn, I feel sorry for her kids, and I feel sorry for her friends. The only people I don't feel sorry for are her clients, but I probably would if they were on camera. Her actions (so far) this season are just so mean-spirited and selfish. Hey Americans! Please let me know where you are in this season and whether or not I can read this thread. Please bold my name so I don't get spoiled. ETA: I like Gretchen in some ways. But not others. I don't think it was right for her to talk to Kenny-Roger's-older-brother-look-a-like's daughter that way. That poor girl has put up with her dad through 4 marriages (5?). And now she has this hot blonde chick to compete with for her father's attention. She's spoiled, for sure, but someone got her that way. And I don't know how to talk about Gretchen's intentions with Kenny without getting modded, haha. But it DOES feel like she saw a formerly multiple-time married man with WHITE hair and got in there. Right on time, it seems. I don't know if Kenny's going to live through it (thank goodness this isn't a South Park thread!), but I really wonder what he would leave her in his will. Would this be another Anna Nicole Smith situation??

Wait, I remembered something...about Tamra...I was NOT impressed that she called her daughter "stupid" when she and her hubby were moving the exercise equipment. That was horrible, and I know how it feels. At least I know Vicki wouldn't call her kids stupid, especially a 5 year-old (or thereabouts).

Oregonguy, thank you for telling me! I might as well join in here. I don't know why they can't just start airing the shows at the same time. It's so unfair.

Okay, since finding out we're only two episodes of the season, I read back to previous posts. So Meggie, can you please tell me where to find the stuff on Lauri on the OC Register? I can't find it. thank you!! ETA: I think Vicki puts down her cell phone and laptop when she is able to be the centre of attention. Otherwise, I think she's hiding behind her business stuff when people are focused on anyone but her. It's all or nothing. All the attention, or she'll excuse herself with paying attention to her job.

What I did was click on the other articles shown in the boxes on the initial page Bee linked. It is in the comments- people are leaving really nasty comments- and some of them seem to know what is truly going on. Before I knew it I was all over the place reading about some rather sordid things between George and his ex-wife. It is implied that he has a history of abusing his wives- hope that is not the case. In any case, the comments for the summary articles each week in that paper are as entertaiing as the show!

Jodie, you can also use www.ocregister.com ans search.. there is a columnist, Frank Mickaadeit (sp?) who often comments on RHOOC stuff and he's met up with some of them, too. Not sure right now since he's been flogging the subject of the trial of the ex-OC Sheriff, but that is coming to an end.

So this time I was on Vicki's side- Jeanna should not have brought that dude- he gives me creepy vibes and I think considering Jeanna is rolling in $$$ she should pay Vicki the money that guy owes her since he obviously feels no need.
