I guess I'm just not into people who think 'they' are perfect and better than everyone else. That's Alexis. And Vicki ...

Jen, I don't see Vicki as someone who thinks she's better than others. She's Catholic, but she isn't constantly bringing up her religion like Alexis does. Vicki is older than these gals, so she got along better with the first women chosen for the show. She's far from perfect and I think she knows it. I came across an article earlier that was talking about how badly Alexis and her husband wanted on this show. They supposedly bought a house from Jeana and befriended her and then bought a car from Simon and befriended he and Tamra. I think this was a few years ago. Also, it was stated Alexis has watched all the episodes. I just can't help thinking she was going to make it her goal to bring Vicki down this year. She just seems to detest Vicki without even trying to know her. I don't think she played her cards right for her first year on the show, as many don't like her, so she hurt herself more than Vicki. As an older woman, I see where Vicki is coming from. Who wants to put up with a younger generation of rude women? They certainly don't seem to have the manners of the first year of women on the show. Every single lunch/dinner was an attack...not interesting to watch. Jgalt, I agree with you completely. It's a sad state of affairs these days. I can't even watch Patty's show, she's such a know-it-all. Had I heard the "dumb midwesterners" comment, I might have had to throw something at the TV, lol. Better I just don't watch her.

To me, Vicky's biggest problem this year is that she is the one being picked on instead of being one of the 'pickees'. Am I the only one to remember how horribly she treated Jeanna when she thought she had found a cooler BFF in Tamra? It was ugly to watch. Then she and Tamra turned it on Gretchen. None of these people will ever have my sympathy.

Alexis came on the show with preconceived notions of Vicki and then proceeded to prod and prod until Vicki responded as she (Alexis) though she should. I don't know or care about Gretchen and Slade's relationship but it is THEIR relationship. What they do or don't do is THEIR business. That's what bothers me most about all the Slade as a househusband thing. I understand if Vicki doesn't want back on the show. She had more in common with the first housewives (the ones who worked outside the home). And it really isn't fun any more to watch so I can't imagine it's fun any more to be on the show.

Article about Jeana and her home being saved from foreclosure. What I found interesting in the article is that she says she starts filming in a week??? Does that mean she is returning? http://lansner.freedomblogging.com/2010/03/08/housewife-gets-loan-modification-for-coto-home/58703/

I'm sorry, but if the government's efforts at stemming foreclosures is rescuing $5 million homes like Jeanna's, it's not money well spent. I'm all for helping save homes for people who didn't go out and buy a McMansion at the height of the market, but for someone like Jeanna, who could unload the home and end up in another nice place, unlike other people who are foreclosed and end up homeless--? Nah. No sympathy. But it's good to know that her congressman and her "friend Jason Cougenhour at HUD" responded,. I wonder whether political contributions were involved. And as for the Matchmaker saying mean things about people from the flyover....LOL! OMG the outrage about her lack of political correctness! How funny, when people talk about "Hollyweird" and "La La Land" and blah blah blah all the time about how out of step we are in Los Angeles...and when someone says something mildly insulting about the flyover, the righteous indignation!

Are you kidding, Tish? Do you know how often someone makes reference to my being from the state of fruits and nuts? And they do NOT mean the edible kind of fruits and nuts. If I took offense anytime someone made that comment, or commented about blonde California girls (yeah, I'm not blonde)...

Why in the world would Jeana be eligible for a loan modification? Don't you have to have low income and um...NO OTHER PROPERTY? She has other houses she could sell to catch up on the mortgage on the Coto place, doesn't she? Why is it the working middle class are the ones always caught in the middle of all these government deals? Most are barely making ends meet, but I'm sure they'd make too much to get a break on their home like Jeana got. It's just wrong.

Cricket the banks are desperate to keep owners in their homes, especially in Cali. They will do anything to keep another home from going to forclosure. My husband is in mortgage and has helped his bank in Cali come up with alternative ways for owners to stay in homes. I am not talking about the govt program for middle-low income, but people just like Jeana. I do think she should sell a few of her homes. Obviously she is no longer able to afford it.

I don't think the bank would not modify through the Obama HAMP program, but most banks are doing their own internal modifications. I modified my loan through HAMP. My 30 yr loan is now a 40 yr loan, but my payment was cut in 1/2.

Ah yes, jumping to conclusions and blaming the government. That's why I avoid the political threads. Thanks for the clarifications, Oliviamimi and Frogichik.

Government Helps Jeana Save House snip: I am happy to report the system works! There is no foreclosure on my home anymore. After I was denied back in January, after working with Wamu/Chase for 6 months, they said I didn’t fit the program, I am a fighter so I called my friend Jason Cougenhour at HUD, our illustrious Congressman, and our Governor’s office, and found out that 75% of the people in loan mod’s weren’t getting accepted. That incensed me. I talked and wrote, harassed, gave speeches, encouraged people to write email blasts, used all of my Le Tip connections and last Monday the government changed the specifications. I am happy to say Chase has stopped foreclosure, and made my payments affordable, my work has picked up, and I have stopped efforts to sell my home at a greatly reduced discount. I plan to live here until I am ready to sell. I have been helping so many people save there homes, it is a difficult and frustrating process that I really wasn’t focusing on sales. With the possible sale of my house at auction, and the crazy people coming out of the woodwork to buy my 4.5 million dollar house for 1.3, you find out who your friends are. I am blessed, I have my health, my amazing children.”

I wanted to clarify my post. My payment is about 1/2 of what it was, but it will increase. My rate if 2% for 5 years, 3% year 6, 4% year 7 and 4.75% years 8-40. I started out at 6.625%. The problem still exists that I owe more then it is worth. I still may short sale it. Which is the boat many people are in. You think, yes, I can afford this payment, but is it worth paying. I owe twice as much as it is worth and I bought it as a short sale.

I owe twice as much as it is worth and I bought it as a short sale. Frogi, this is the crux of the matter or problem. Is it worth it paying all the extra interest or might you be better off in a short sale? Two percent is a good amount on a mortgage, but the extra 10 years...who knows? Maybe by year 8 your house will again be worth more than you paid and you could still come out ahead. Hopefully, the real estate market will eventually recover. Sadly, while the programs help people, sometimes they slow the recovery, since they also slow the bottoming out. I hope for you that it works out to your advantage.

My son and his wife bought a home in '07. That same house today is valued 70 thousand less than what they paid for it. Their hope was to do some renovations and sell in the future to make a profit. Those hopes are gone. I have to tell you I worry about our children and grandchildren's future. This is not an opening for a political debate! lol I try hard not to go there on here

http://tinyurl.com/34nljke according to TMZ Ryan is in jail... More real life drama for the "Real Housewives of Orange County" -- this time, Tamra Barney's son is behind bars after cops made a major discovery during a minor traffic stop in the OC. TMZ has learned Ryan Vieth -- whose traffic problems have been chronicled on the show -- was taken into custody Wednesday night after cops pulled the guy over ... and then learned there was an active warrant out for his arrest. Law enforcement sources tell us Vieth had missed a recent court appearance in connection with a prior traffic problem -- so he became a wanted man. Ryan is being held on $15,000 bail -- he's scheduled to face the judge later today (wasnt updated - Lindsey must've knocked him off!)

Alexis may have left her kids unattended in a stroller - and then they fell into a pool!! http://www.tmz.com/category/real-housewives/ Seriously, children are NOT fashion accessories! "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Alexis Bellino nearly lost two children on July 4th when she left her stroller unattended ... and it rolled into a pool -- this according to security at The Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach, CA. Sources at the pool tell TMZ that sometime during the holiday celebration, Alexis and her husband Jim were off "doing something" ... and the stroller -- carrying 2 toddlers -- toppled into the pool. According to multiple security officers on scene, the lifeguard pulled the stroller out of the water with one child still in it. Alexis' husband dove in to save the other one. But Jim tells us a slightly different story -- claiming, "There was no lifeguard needed or involved." We're told both of the Bellino children are fine and didn't need medical attention. (end of story)

Real people would be a nice change. AND real situations instead of all his staged nonsense (wig parties, jewelry parties, tanning parties etc etc). I give up on RHOC...Vicki is the only one who has a real life JMHO
