I'm saddened, but not surprised. I thought she treated him horribly. I dunno who left whom, or whose idea it was, but I'm not surprised. And while I think he really loved her, I kinda questioned how much she loved him. She seemed to want to spend a lot of time away from him. Until the last season, when they did the renewal thing, anyways.

Ita with Costa: Donn loved Vicky, but she was neither committed nor very loving towards him. Vicky seems to be all about how much a man can provide for her monetarily. Poor Donn just wanted more time with her, which she saw as a means of limiting her earnings. Workaholics don't make the best spouses.

LOL, Lurkin. Patti (the Matchmaker) was on Watch What Happens and she pretty much nailed the problem in Vicki's marriage. She said Vicki needs someone who makes more money than her and Don had a drinking problem. Spot on. She said Vicki was the man and Don was the woman.

"Don had a drinking problem" Based on footage from the show Vicki was the one with the drinking problem

Based on the footage I've seen, MANY, MANY of the housewives on all of the franchises have drinking problems, LOL! They all drink too much, in my opinion, and they get ugly when they do.

I admit it - I'm team Don and have been since the first season. I'm not a bit surprised that Vicki is calling him the drunk. I'm sure she will blame him for any and every thing and do her best to leave him broke. No sympathy or respect of any kind do I have for her.

Vicki didn't say Donn was a drunk. Patti Stanger (Millionaire Matchmaker) said it on Watch What Happens. And if you were to see Vicki's twitter and such, she isn't saying a single bad thing about Donn, in fact, she is sad that they couldn't make things work out.

Donn seems so pleasant in most of the clips I've seen of him. I have to admit that I hurt my husband's feelings a few days ago by telling him that I would rather spend one month of my life with my ex-boyfriend, who is dying of cancer, but who has always been truly happy and positive than however many years DH and I have remaining on the planet together. My husband is negative to the point of toxicity. I can't stand it.

I know I've read of your marital difficulties here and there, but that comment to your husband was pretty cruel. Sounds to me that you need to get out of your marriage if it's that horrible to be around him. Just my

"I'm team Don and have been since the first season. I'm not a bit surprised that Vicki is calling him the drunk" Whoah, it wasn't Vicki that called Don a drunk. It was Patti from Millionaire Matchmaker. She seems to be friends with many of these women and mentioned she lost her close friendship with Bethany because she took Jill's side. She imitated knocking back drinks re Don. I'm not on either side, but I know Vicki was unhappy and you just can't make it work if you're not in love or have a lot of respect for the other person. I've seen both Vicki and Don wasted on many of the shows, esp. when they went to the lake. I've seen Don's face red a lot...some of you might think that was the sun...alcohol also does that. ETA: Sia, so sorry for your predicament. Sometimes life is very hard, eh?

Thanks for the clarification of who said Don was a drinker but I'm still going to remain team Don. And with that I will self edit and leave all areas associated with HW's.

Don't self-edit, Kappy...say what you feel. I'd be interested in reading your comments. Yes, Don was a nice man; however, nice men don't seem to make it with very strong, agressive women like Vicki. Vicki needs someone who will stand up to her and sadly, Don didn't...or he gave up trying. Someone mentioned he should get together with Gina. I don't know....while Gina kept saying what a great guy he was, she hasn't lived with him and I couldn't help but think sometimes her remarks were anti-Vicki more than pro-Don. I think Don is a nice guy. He's just not for Vicki. She may never find a man as strong as she, so she'll be single.

Vicki is a control freak. I don't think Vicki would have a successful marriage with anyone until she gives up that control.

I would love to see Donn with Jeana, she really seemed to value that he was a good man and she deserves someone good like that in her life after what she went through with her ex.

I can and do say some cruel things to my husband occasionally, but those occasions are few and far between, and the things I say pale in comparison to things that he's said to me. And I meant what I said: I would rather spend a month with someone with a positive outlook on life, even if it were his last month of life, than have the daily hurts and verbal digs from someone who is just mean and unhappy.

Did anyone see Jeana on "Thintervention with Jackie Warner?" She lost weight, toned up and looked just great. She was able to address some of her personal issues regarding depression, etc., in therapy, and the program was a great benefit to her. The change in her personality was striking, as well.

I did see Thintervention and laughed at the final reveal. Um, yeah, the "reveal" was to their family and friends who they'd been seeing during that six weeks without Jackie. They all looked like they'd been spray tanned and styled to within an inch of their lives. They all did look good, though, including Jeanna.

I saw it as well. They all looked great. I found it interesting that not many in the weight loss group seemed to like Jeana. The blonde didn't want to room with her and Jeana cried and said, "She hurt my feelings." Sheesh...I know it wasn't that nice, but Jeana sounded like a 5-year-old. I never really saw her address her issues in the group meetings (could have been ff'ing) but did hear her mention some things on the last episode. I'm so envious of her that she has a personal chef...must be nice. That would be very helpful when dieting.
