I don't think that the boys' attitudes are much different when they aren't with their mother either. I know my dh has dealt with them at the ballpark and let's just say they aren't well-loved.

OMG Tish! I totally meant to comment on that... Lynne's esthetician and the gum chewing! I about DIED when I saw that! Classy joint, eh?

I agree, Cat. That was disgusting... someone smacking gum (with open mouth, to boot!) while working on your massage at the spa really reeks of class - not!

I also noticed how plastic so many of the women at Lynne's party look (not to mention the ex OC h/w who is now living in Chicago). Their faces are so distorted. Aging is sad when you see faces like theirs. If you're going to pay to get your face lifted at least go to a reputable plastic surgeon. Or just don't go!

OMG!!! I couldn't believe the disrespect for Jeanna by her kids. I never agree with Vicki but, this time she is right. Their is never an excuse good enough to act like that. Even though Jeanna knows why they act that way just doesn't make it right.

Now we know why Vicki's kids are so afraid of her. She kept telling Jenna how she would slap her kids in the face if the did this or that. She said it with such certainty that you know that she done it her self.

It turned out the guy at the bar was the husband of one of her Chicago friends that she was having dinner with in the restaurant.

Let's not forget that Vicki's husband, Donn, wanted to go on this trip but Vicki would not let him. She would not let go but she did have the bad taste to taunt him on her cell phone while <100> in that bar.

Oh. My. Lord. We Canadians were just treated to the first half of the get-Gretchen-drunk episode. That is some of the sleaziest behaviour I've ever seen on t.v. I wish so much I was watching the same eppys at the same time as you guys, because my reaction's old news to you. But I can't get over it.

Trying to get someone drunk is absolutely adolescent behaviour. Tamra should be cringing with shame. Not only did she deliberately feed Gretchen shots and try to nudge everyone in on her game (I saw her poke and whisper to Lynne when she was trying to stop Gretchen from taking another shot), she actually pimped out her son.

The look on Ryan's face was priceless at times, as was Vicki's when Donn was obviously enjoying Gretchen's antics. Vicki kept repeating, "Gretchen does love to be the centre of attention." - and is that not the pot calling the kettle black! I think Vicki couldn't stand it that her centre-of-attention status had been taken from her and was extremely bitter about it.

I really hope Tamra reads the backlash over her behaviour. I simply can't believe an adult would cook up a plan like that...and she goes ballistic when her son shows up with a tattoo inside his mouth. She really needs to be taught a lesson. I'm sure it came as a surprise to her that everyone else (the viewers) didn't think it was hilarious what she did to Gretchen. She needs to grow up.

Of course I still have yet to see the second half, and I'm not spoiling myself by finding out, but I do hope that Gretchen has enough wits about her still to untangle herself from this situation. The way it was edited, it seemed as if she'd had enough alcohol that would have put ME in a coma.

I wish Jean and Lynne had stepped in sooner and INSISTED that Gretchen go home with one of them, or give her a ride, but at least they were showing their maturity and distanced themselves from Tamra's little "joke".

Jeana's kids were just awful to her. I haven't watched since the first season when she was with her husband, but didn't he act rather disrepectful as she referred to it? That does not excuse one minute how those "kids" behaved, but I felt sorry for Jeana. I "think" I wasn't that crazy about her the first year but this year, I like her best next to Gretchen.

I was wondering what Shane's girlfriend was thinking too, but from what they showed of her apparently she didn't care.
Shane's attitude makes him so unattractive and I first thought he was very cute.

I also think Gretchen is hotter than Tamra...lol

one of the "plastic" people you speak of from Vicki and Jeana's trip,Was Kimberly from Season One.She is a Cancer Survivor(2x that I am sure of),so I think we could cut her a little slack. To me,she appeared to have lost much more weight and didnt look well.

Bonnie Hunt just announced that the Housewives from Orange County will be on her show tomorrow. She plans to ask Tamera about setting up Gretchen at her party. Anxious to see how they spin that one.

If you read the blogs of the housewives, both Tamra and Gretchen talk about that party. They seem to be pretty friendly with each other and say that much of what we saw that we all got so hot about was just editing. Neither seem to be angry with each other. I LOVE Bethenny's blog the most. That girl is f.u.n.n.y!

Lori, I did not watch season 1 (started watching last season, having watched a marathon once) so I don't know who the Chicago woman is (other than the women mentioning she was on the show before). She did look like she'd had too much work on her face. I am glad she's a 2 time cancer survivor, though. The whole overly taut face look just seems to be the norm amongst these women is basically the point I was trying to make. It's pretty unusual to see so many women all look so similar, IMO.

Jenna looked amazing. Bonnie questioned Vicki about the bar scene and her treatment of Don. Vicki claims one of her high-school friends told her to embarrass her husband. Vicki said she and Don just got back from vacation and "her love tank is full." She also said they are in counseling and plan to stay married.

Bonnie also questioned Tamera about her party and the plan to get Gretchen naked wasted drunk. Tamera claims she herself was drunk and she didn't remember saying the things she said. Guess Gretchen called her after the episode aired.

Bonnie told Jenna she felt sorry for her about the way her children treated her. To me Jenna was "wishy-washy" and claimed she jumped the boy's case off camera as she didn't want to embarrass them. Whatever...

It's on now. Vicki claims she had one glass of wine in that bar scene in Chicago. Bonnie asks if she didn't realize the cams were on her.

Vicki needs a full makeup makeover... that thick black eyeliner on her eyes with her coloring is awful.

Jeana, btw, looks good. Her hair and makeup rock. She also said she takes some of it off cam, which is pretty much what I said when I saw the episode.

Had to laugh when they talked about Jeana's daughter staying away from alcohol and airing how she felt about alcohol thru the show. With Lynn sitting right next to her!


Next up is the "naked wasted" party. Gretchen's preview says she was shocked when she saw the footage and that she immediately texted (Lynn?) to see what was up.

So do not like Tamra. She thinks she's all so cute when they showed the clips. Then says she says she didn't know she said that. I'm not so sure I believe that. And Bonnie calls her out if people still do that... get so drunk they are throwing up. LOL. Tamra admits to having a smart ass mouth. But Bonnie is so giving her a hard time about the skinny girl comment.

Gretchen says she wouldn't have done the show if she had kids.

Bonnie asks Tamra about botox. Tamra says she hasn't done it this season. She looks a bit uncomfortable being asked about it. Bonnie says she prefers to show expression.

Mostly a totally softball set of questions... or Bonnie would ask a good question but then backpedal it a bit.

And honestly, Tamra and Vicki did not come off all that great.

I thought that the housewives all looked very uncomfortable trying to backpeddle their answers. They didn't seem too happy with the questions they were asked. Gretchen did say how shocked she was when the episode aired. I didn't see that she and Tamra were that great of friends.

I didn't see Gretchen and Tamra being that great of friends either. And if they said it, I missed it. I agree, tho, I saw a lot of backpeddling and froo-froo-ing, trying to make things seem not as bad as they looked. I'm sorry but:

Vicki? You did sit on someone's lap, kiss him, and threaten to pop your boobs out.

Jeana? Your son did treat you like crap.

Tamra? You were not drunk at the point you were saying you wanted to get Gretch "naked wasted."

Lynn was the only HW that said almost nothing. And Gretchen didn't say much either.

I agree Costacat and I am also sorry that Lynn wasn't asked about her daughters drinking at the bowling ally and at home. At the party that Lynn had, were her daughters friends drinking also? I don't remember, but where I live if you allow underage kids to drink in your home you are liable for anything that happens.

I was shocked at the way Jeana's sons treated her- and it totally reminded me of the way her brain damaged <100> of a husband treated her. She is so used to being treated like that she hardly even knew. All those people came to see Shane and were so loving towards him- he acted like a creep. Blech. I love Jeana- I wish she knew what a sweetheart she is. She obviously suffers from low self esteem.
