I agree, people are way out of hand with the texting.

I'll bet Lynn doesn't even know how to do chores. She lives like they're so rich, so she probably had a maid or something.

"Honestly, when Vicki is the most likable person on a show, it's time to start wondering whether it's worth it or not." Isn't that the truth?!

Tonight's episode brought a whole new meaning to the words "Lynn is clueless". I would have smacked her daughter right across her face, probably multiple times. Holy cow! Vicki is definitely changing, and I sort of am thinking that she seriously is finding more peace at home and isn't into the housewives drama. Then again, the previews for next week look like she's somehow going to be in some with Tamra's husband. Oh, and Lynn is a REALLY ugly crier!

I felt bad for Lynne tonight. Grtechen has been way out of line the past few episodes about Lynne's daughter. (and I like Gretchen.) The daughter is obviously being a drama queen and playing it up to the cameras to get camera time. She is constantly smirking through her crocodile tears. She said in the last episode she knows how to play her parents. She's doing the same thing to us. I can only imagine how much attention she is getting from her friends from this and enjoying it. I would have smacked Alexa across the head w/ a baseball bat at the mall, but the cameras were rolling. So, you can't do that and Alexa knew it and played on it. (cry, cry, cry. Nobody understands me and you don't spend any one on one time with me or spend money on me.) HELLO! Your Mom just took you to the mall to spend money on you and spend one on one time with you, while you were making fun of her before hand at your friend's house and making her wait for you outside. Alexa is fine. She is just a teenager and she will have to live with this the rest of her life because it is all on tape. Gretchen knew Lynne was drunk at the party and should have had the class to keep her mouth quiet at the time if she really cared, and approached Lynne privately at another time about all this. Don't go saying "Just because you popped a kid out between your legs doesn't give you a god given right to be a parent." or something similiar. Very antagonistic. If the cameras weren't rolling, I would have taken that baseball bat out a second time. Alexa is playing Gretchen also.

Don't go saying "Just because you popped a kid out between your legs doesn't give you a god given right to be a parent." or something similiar. I totally don't think the way it came out was what Gretchen was trying to say. I think she was actually meaning to say something more along the lines of "Just because you gave birth doesn't give you all the answers to being a parent". Maybe I'm way off, but I don't see and haven't seen a mean bone in Gretchen's body in this. I think she was offering an ear to Alexa. Alexa started talking to Gretchen earlier...Gretchen didn't just initiate this shopping trip out of the blue. But Alexa (being the 2 faced bratty B that she clearly is), LIED to Lynn about what Gretchen said at the store. I don't think Gretchen overstepped any bounds at all. My best friend's kids know that they can talk to me about anything, and I mean anything! I made it very clear to them when they were young that if I ever felt they were in any danger, I would have to share what they said with their Mom. Otherwise, they can trust completely that what they say to me, stays with me. Lynn doesn't have any idea what to do with her teenagers. She has bought and bought and bought for them and apparently never disciplined them ever. The way Alexa talked to her made her SAD? Are you kidding me?!? I'd have been all over Alexa like flies on sh*t, and wouldn't have cared if we were in a mall or not!

Lynne's chin looked ginormous tonight. Did she get an implant when she got her facelift done? And did it look like it fell when she was at that stupid lunch party? I did however appreciate that Lynne and Tamra agree that Gretchen is a poor role model: look around the web, they both say, and they are both right. [Oh! What was that word Lynne made up at the table? It was hysterical--even better than her Kegel foul up] Thenewwomanshusband just annoys me more each week. Vicki, bless her heart, gets a ring from her husband and counts the rows of diamonds! Princess cut! Gretchen ALWAYS laughs at every ridiculous thing she says. It's like an exclamation mark in the form of a fake laugh. Tiresome.

On the Watch What Happens show after RHOC, Lynn was on the phone with the host and said that she felt that Gretchen had put something in her drink and that explained why she acted as she did. Omg, we only saw her chugging glass after glass of wine (even though it was obviously hard for her to use her new balloon lips).

I'm not so sure that Tamra and Lynn should even have the balls to bring up what kind of role model Gretchen is! THEY should talk! This season is pretty much a trainwreck. Oh shoot, I forgot what that word was that Lynn butchered, but I laughed right out loud!

Oh and I loved Gretchen's story about how she expected to pocket $2.5 mil after the ex-fiance died, but oooops! Anyone else think Lynne was more upset by having her precious cuff thrown on the table than by anything the kid said?

Tishala, lol about Vicky's new ring. My first thought when she got it was that she was trying to figure out if he spent HER money to buy it. I like her husband the best and I can totally understand why he lets her go off on girls only weekends. Did she mention who made the ring, so they could get that promo in? Huk, it wasn't the fact that they were in the mall. It's the fact that the cameras were rolling. I'm watching th repeat right now. As Alexa is going off on her mom, I hear the water fountains in the background. Forget the baseball bat. Lynne should have dragged her by the ear and dunk her head under the water. This episode is such a classic. Alexis making her husband breakfast which consists of hard boiled eggs and microwaved coffee, no wonder why she wants to have a cooking night and the husband agreed. Plus, Alexis's "goal" in life is to get Gretchen and Tamra to be friends again. When were they ever friends? I must have missed that news. I watched Andy's after show tonight and they had Lynne call in at the very end. She said that they never showed how upset her daughter was after she came back after the shopping trip w/ Gretchen. Andy said he was taking notes to ask for the reunion show they will be taping next week. Can't wait to watch it.

Tish, at the time, I was thinking it was the best thing her daughter could do, so her mother's business would be brought up again so her mother could sell more. I had to laugh how they kept zooming in on the bracelet at the cooking party as Lynne was having her meltdown.

Definitely a trainwreck season. I wonder how many of them are going to be homeless by the end.

Hukd, I agree with you that Gretchen was trying to say popping a child out and having the answers on how to raise one kind of came out wrong. ... and really... Lynn thinks Gretchen put something in her wine? Puuuuhleeeze.

Wow, what an episode. I made my 17 year old daugther watch with me since we always seem to fight at the mall too and I am like Lynn saying I have to work and be a mom, blah blah blah. I wonder what they were shopping for because they were at the Home section of South Coast Plaza. Ir is a separate mall connected by a bridge and I am pretty sure everything on that side is for the home, very few clothing stores. It is much less crowded and I am sure they wanted to film them there instead of the main mall. South Coast Plaza gets a lot of exposure on this show but I don't think they would want this going on in their primary mall. Jim (Alexa's husband) look ridiculous last night in his Louis Vuitton beanie. Did anyone notice him wearing it while getting his son's haircut? Give me a break. Do you really need to advertise that you have money. Oh yeah, yes he does. I have met him and did business with him and he is all about labels. Drives a white Bentley, wears over the top designer jeans and then I see this dumb hat on him on last nights show. He is quite annoying. He tried to get some free items from us because he kept talking about how it would be seen on the show. Of course, no one would have known it came from us. Our business was in August, I now see that they are showing shows filmed in September as the kids were going to school and apparently what they filmed of Jim's business did not air so glad we did not comp him anything. Loved seeing Vicky and Don at Splash's restaurant in Laguna Beach. It is an amazing restaurant and quite expensive. That is why I have only had lunch there haha. Definitely fun seeing all these places. I spend so much time trying to figure out exactly where they are and how they are driving to certain places.

I haven't finished watching the most recent episode yet; but I did see Lynne and her drama queen daughter. I wish the whole lot of them would be fired; these people are psycho.

Lynne had problems pronouncing "Kegel" and "overdramatization." Lynne also needs to step back and realize she was not being a good mom. From what I've seen (and I seem to recall from last season), she wanted to be her kids' friend. Not their mother. It's really hard to suddenly be the disciplinarian when you've never disciplined them before. She gave her kids whatever they wanted. She spoiled Alexa, and now she's reaping the benefits. Her lack of response to Alexa's "I was hungover" statement was really pretty telling. I don't think Gretchen meant to say anything other than that just because you can have a child doesn't mean you automatically know how to raise that child. I don't think it was intended to be mean either, she was just making a (somewhat awkward) point. There's a real reason I don't have kids! Lynne also should listen more to Gretchen. I do think Gretchen has made mistakes, but I also think she's learned from them. And, as Gretchen herself has said, she didn't have anyone to talk to when she was Alexa's age. Having someone there, who's not a parent or judgmental, could make all the difference in a teen's perspective. I thought Tamra was a beeyotch just sitting there while Lynne was moaning about how hard it was to raise teenage girls, and no commenting at all. Then again, I guess Tamra didn't do so well with Ryan, who only recently managed to snap himself out of his trouble mode. Lynne, Tamra, and Alexis are just too phony for me. The three of them constitute TV's biggest train wreck right now, and I'm not sure it's even enjoyable to watch them all go down in flames. The first two have money probs, the second is heading for divorce court, and the third is a Stepford wife. Really, this is not entertainment! One thing I will add... I like how Gretchen is trying to do her makeup line on her own. That was a smart thing to say, about keeping hers and Slade's finances separate because they aren't married. I still like Gretchen the best out of all the housewives. She's the one I'd most likely be friends with. Vicki is just too materialistic for me (really Vicki? you had to count the rows of diamonds? in public?), and a part of me thinks that she finally really saw herself on TV and realized she didn't like the person she'd become. I'm glad Vicki and Donn seem to be working on their marriage, but seeing Vicki pull back from the housewives, constantly parading the "I have to work" ticket around, well, it's getting old. She didn't have to always work in the past, and I know she can take an hour or two off here and there, but she chooses not to. I hope Vicki and Donn make it as I do wish the best for him.

LOL, Tamra got Simon's name tattooed on her ring finger to show her "internal" love for him.

Lynn's never-go-away smile tonight seriously makes me wonder what kind of meds this lady does. Vicki ~ Wow. Does she really expect a friend to choose her over their husband? Listen to your husband, Vicky. None of these people are going to be there for anybody else past the next season. I think Vicky's biggest problem is that she isn't drinking any thing like she use to and yet she's hanging around people who do. Other drunks are always boring, Vicky, just like you were. Thank God we didn't have to hear from Slade tonight. That was a blessing.

No we didn't hear from Slade, but good gawd, Simon sure acted like a mature adult, didn't he? Standing there glaring at Vicki? He never shut up! I caught that Hukd, the "internal". I didn't play it back and thought I'd just mis-heard! LOL. Lynn's face continues to scare me. She needs to stop with the plastic surgery (note I said plastic and not cosmetic, because I think her face now looks plastic and fake).

I have never been a Vicky fan, but I really did feel for her last night. None of these people are her friends and I think the reason that she keeps giving about working all the time is that she really doesn't want to spend time with any of these woman. They are not her friends like they all were on the first season. They kept talking about when Don was'nt invited on their trip and the guys said that they invited him. Well it was Vicky's plan for a girls trip and it wasn't their place to either go or invite other husbands. As for Simon, he keeps telling everyone what a good marriage he has, ha ha they are now getting a divorce so my guess is it really wasn't so good...duh any one of us could have told him that. And I agree that Lynn's face does look plastic, how sad to spend that money when you don't have it. I wonder who paid for the party she had, to have servers and a bar tender and all must have cost a pretty penny. Perhaps the show paid for it so they would have a reason for all of them to be together. I can't wait for the New York Housewives to be back.

Did anyone else catch that Jim (the one married to Alexis) called the flamingos swans? And then he wondered aloud how much they cost! Classy. Also - I am not really a Vicki fan because I tend to side with Team Gretchen and I feel that Vicki and Tamara have always been "mean girls" toward her. That said - I AM a Don fan and I felt the other dinner guests were very disrespectful toward him. Maybe Vicki is on her way to following Jeanna's lead and leaving this drama behind.
