Bee, why (does Lauri take the most heat for her actions)?

Costa...Lauri has been the subject of most of the bashing since the show began. How she treats her kids (most specifically her son, Josh) and her supposed "gold-digger" tactics.
There was also a huge situation, which played out in the OC Register, with George's ex-wife and children. Josh went to live with George's ex after Lauri "kicked him out" of her townhouse and Josh and George's ex did a lot of interviews about Lauri and George. (I think you can probably find these if you search in the OCRegister archives)

She is just the one that takes the most heat regarding her actions. I think Jeana and Vicki are very happy it's not them, because they've never come to her defense on any of this.
I know that both Jeana and Vicki's sons have done a few things around town that might garner some heat of their own if Lauri wasn't such a character so easy to condemn.

Its kinda hard for me to think of Lauri as a golddigger when George is young and sexy.

Mocha...Jeana doesn't really have any competition as far as selling Coto homes go. She is the Number One seller of Coto estates.
I kind of think that whole episode of Tamra selling in Coto was a set-up for the show.

Gold-digging with a young and sexy guy is just extra gold, isn't it?

Thanks for the reminder of the OC Register! and Lauri is getting a good edit - I forgot about the in law situation! While she was distant at the spa day, one thing that stood out to me was "I have 7 kids to take care of" and then contrasting to how they edited Tamra NOT taking care of 2...

Also, I believe that Vicky only leases the cars - the kids have to make the payments! I didnt see how that was a gift at all - but I'm weird that way (I mean it would be fine if I agreed on the car and the lease payments - but to have mom pick out a car and say its for you, its for you - and now you have to pay the lease payments monthly - I wouldnt have been to excited)

With Jeana I keep thinking she was a playmate and on the Girls Next Door last night they were trying to pick a girl for their 55th spread - and a daughter was trying out, and they looked up mom's pic ( and hef said he remembered having ...intimate relations with mom!! "she had a nice but" Hef said to the daughter... um ewww!! LOL)

Yeah the thing with Vicki not letting her husband go to Mexico with her and then not letting her children not not go. Crazy!! Her husband was right she doesn't want to let her kids go and grow up and make their own decisions. They will be angry at her for it in the long run. Just my opinion.

I thought it was pretty messed up that while Vicki is telling Don he isn't going to Mexico and he isn't going to Chicago that she plans to invite her ex over. So, your current husband cannot spend time with you but your ex can?

She just appears, perhaps through editing, that she does not want to be married. That isn't true, she is married to her work, that appears to be the only thing that makes her happy, that and controlling everything.

Thanks Bee! I forgot about Lauri's son moving in with George's ex-wife! LOL! I've always thought Lauri was a gold digger anyways... all she ever talks about is how much she has (material).

Vicki's skin looked horrible in this episode, especially when she was at dinner with Donn. (And btw, her table manners are atrocious!)

And I finally figured out what it is that I dislike so much about Vicki... she has to be the center of attention at all times. If she's not, then she has to have the last word.

I think Lynne and Gretchen are the hot new housewives. Neither one of them have the fake look that Tamra does so well. It cracks me up how jealous Tamra is, too... like MEOW!

ITA with you Vacanick.

Reader, if I had a car that was paid for and my mother "bought" me a new car and told me I had to make the payments, I would have told my mother she could either make the payments or she could drive it right back to the dealership. It's not a gift when you are sticking your child with a car note of $300 or more per month. But, I guess it's Vicki's way of controlling things. If her daughter has a hard time making the notes, she will always need Vicki and then Vicki will be able to control things - just the way she wants to.

So it wasn't my imagination about Vicki's skin, others saw what I saw as well.

It irked me when Vicki was in the limo, typing away at the computer while everyone else was to Gretchen about Jeff's health. That was just sad. And in her little bit she says that if she's got a few hours in the car, she'll work, what's she going to talk about dying? That was just sad and really shows her character. That and her eyeliner bugs the heck out of me.

She wasn't only just working... she was pointing out something on her screen to Tamra and laughing at it. And really, it would've hurt her to stop for a few minutes and actually listen to someone other than herself?

Both Vicki and Jeana need serious makeup makeovers. Jeana's eyeliner is the same way.

Vicki has reached the age where she has the face she deserves.

In five to ten years Vicki is going to have the family she deserves: NONE. Her kids will abandon her as soon as they learn they can. She will have dumped her loving husband in the trash can.

I felt really, really sorry for Jeff at the Harley dealership. It must have been very painful for him to have hit that wall at that particular time.

I am pretty sure it is Lauri that is leaving. They seemed to be setting her up for that in last night's show. They kept talking about how she no longer has time to hang with the girls. I find it interesting how important this show has been to her life. George contacted her after seeing her on the show and pursued her. I remember her on the follow up special talking about how he sent her something and was purusing her and that things were moving along nicely so without this show, she would not be where she is now, that is for sure. Tamra actually lives in Ladera Ranch, the Covenant Hills area. It is fairly close to Coto, Ladera Ranch is where Laurie had a townhouse in season one and two. Covenant Hills is a gated area there but it is not Coto. There was an article that said they have their home up for sale but they were quick to say that it was not due to any financial reasons but who knows. They said they want to sell so they can take advantage of the market and grab up something really cheap but who knows if that is the real reason because the real estate market has really tanked and Simon is no longer at Fletcher Jones Mercdes Dealer. they also said they don't like having people in their driveway and talking to their neighborhs but if you don't want that, don't do this show! I wonder whatever happened to Quinn, haha.

Hiya Kellsma!
You are bringing memories back. That's right...Is George the one that sent Lauri a pair of Manalo Blahniks after the first season??

Tamra lives in Ladera? I thought she lived in Dove. I saw that article about her selling a house in Ladera, but I didn't read it. I assumed she was just selling it. Interesting.

Also, it's been said that Quinn was in the background when Jeana had her Trunk Sale. I didn't watch closely enough, though, so I'm not sure.

We should exchange numbers. I could call you and say, "Hey, Kells...Vicki's at Ralph's...meet me in deli." LOL

The way Vicki talks is what bugs me, the way she says Bri-AN-NA..lol

I saw Quinn there but my guess she didn't want to be in it or maybe her story was Boring! lol
