Coolsunnydaze I watched a rerun especially close looking for Quinn, and sure enough, she was there.
Not liking Gretchen at all. He buys her all this jewelry, house, whatall, and it seemed she was jealous of the daughter getting some of daddy's attention and $$$.
I'm liking Tamra more so far this season. Love her catty remarks about Gretchen.
As to Jeanna's face, it looks puffy. I've seen that look on alcoholics - stop, I'm not saying she is one! - but maybe there is a medical reason.
Vicki-too much again.
Laurie-too faux and seeming to be even more material this season (if possible.)

I really like these women better than the Atlanta women.


No kidding. The Atlanta show was more like the "Bad Girls Club" show than the Housewives show.



I am wondering how did Vicki's virginal daughter and her life long boy friend enjoyed life living away from Vicki.

Although I didn't see the show, I can imagine that any- and everyone would enjoy life lived away from Vickie!

Except Vicki's daughter did make a couple comments about not fitting in at Berkeley. If there was anywhere one could spread their wings Berkeley would be it!

Thanks for all the info, Costacat. He wasn't that old to die. If they never married, did he still leave her money, I wonder? I don't recall that she worked, so how could she still live in Cota if he didn't. If they dated a year, I supposed she really cared for him.

Is Vicki's daughter living back home? At the end of last season she had her own place where Vicki drove up with a car she umm..bought her daughter, but her daughter had to make the payments, lol. However, I got the impression from last week's show she lived in her Mom's house again.

I'm not sure how I feel about Gretchen yet. I don't think Tamra needs to act catty about her,(however, it could have been staged for by the producers) but I have to see more of Gretchen's personality before I decide anything.

The show is trying to make us think Vicki wants to be single, but I'm thinking it's just a tease.

Yeah I think the preview is just hype. But that's how they always do. Have these juicy previews that end up being no big deal during the show.

I read the housewives blogs on bravotv.com and it seems Jeanna has a boyfriend who lives in Texas. good for her

It would be so funny if Gretchen got with Tamaras son Ryan, ala Jo -did with Jeannas son

Jeff could have still left Gretchen money and the house and stuff and not be married I definately didn't like the interaction with his daughter But I could imagine how the daughter feels with wife #5 or #6 whatever. No matter the age that has to be hard on kids

As far as Jeannas looks, I think it is because she looks real. Not full of botox but with some real wrinkles and puffy looks. She needs hair a make over badly.

Tamara is good for the show, but I dont like her. she is really full of herself

Lurk, ITA with you re: Jeanna. I don't think they have ever shown her getting Botox. I also think she has had a rougher time of it than the others with being in a bad marriage with Matt. Stress can really age a person.

Gretchen Rossi, the newest member of the Real Housewives of Orange County, has no problem saying how she really feels about veteran housewife Vicki Gunvalson.

"I think sometimes Vicki is in her own little world and doesn't pay attention to anyone around her," Gretchen told me this morning. "It comes off very rude and very insensitive."

Case in point: tomorrow's episode, in which the five housewives are driving in a limo to a spa day at Sonya Dakar in Beverly Hills. While Gretchen is telling them how her fiancé, Jeff Beitzel, is suffering from acute leukemia, Vicki is preoccupied with work on her laptop. (Jeff passed away in September, shortly after the season had wrapped filming.)

"Vicki is just typing and couldn't care less about what I'm saying. And then afterward, she's like, 'I don't want be chitchatting about death,' " Gretchen said. "I was like, What?"

And then there are the comments behind her back...

The other housewives have a field day calling Gretchen a "gold digger" because Jeff was 23 years older than her.

But Gretchen insists her and Jeff's love was real. So real that she refused to marry him while he was dying. "I think people would have made assumptions if I had married him during that time, and that's not the reason I was ever with Jeff," Gretchen says, now 31. "It just wasn't…I really wanted to marry him when he was healthy enough to walk down an aisle. Jeff asked me many times to marry him while he was in the hospital and I said, 'I'm not doing that.' "

And it's one of those comments about Jeff that caused a rift between her and Tamra Barney, who up until Gretchen arrived was the youngest and so-called hottest housewife of the bunch.

"You know, she was just really offensive to me in a statement that she made about Jeff," Gretchen remembered. "She just hit the wrong chord with me. The day before, we talked and she was my best friend it seemed like, but then the next night she was making comments about him. It was really hurtful."

Cricket...Gretchen also worked in Real Estate. That's how she and Jeff met. She sold him some real estate.

Vicki's daughter and son came home for the summer. They'll go back to college in the fall.

Filming ended in September, so we'll most likely see them leaving home again.

Vicky and Don squabble ALL the time. I wouldn't make too much out of it.

And, again, Jeana looks much better in person than she does on the TV screen.

It just seems to me that Jeana is the most down to earth out of all of the women on the OC show.

I also like Jeanna and Lauri, but I dont think Jeana came across too well tonight - the talk about short sales, and how she still makes out - her talk about being in the top 1% - However, since we heard her say it, while they were showing a clip of her in her car driving to teh short sale, I have to believe she got a bad edit tonight..

then Vicki - she is all work - driven - no words..

I dont like the way Tamara treats her kids - and when her dh was moving her equipment downstairs - ok that was too funny!! and her lil one screaming - I just dont see her as a hands on mom - I think she tries, but there something sad about the whole thing...

and there was a cliff hanger - watch next week to see which housewife leaves the show! ok then.. let the guessing begin!!I would say Lauri since she moved out of Cota - she doesnt need the money or the exposure (her dd does for the skin care line...) but it seems to obvious with her sons heroine problems ...

I find Vicki quite the piece of work. Her voice is irritating and she has an opinion on any and everything. She would be hard to live with. I also feel quite sorry for her hubby.
I have not finished watching the latest episode but she was not very nice to Gretchen.She could have at least listened to her for a few minutes giving her full attention and closing the laptop.
Rude, shrill woman.

I was stunned at how rude they were about Gretchen when she was walking to the limo. What were they thinking? Rude, rude, rude...

ok..I am gonna come off as a <77> LOL...But I'm gonna give my take anyway.
Lauri: UGH!!! <77>..LOL..As far as her kids,I know Ashley is young,but honestly,have we seen her do ANYTHING that Lauri has not shot down or put her down for? I mean,HELLO!!! Mother meet Support..And Josh,yes I DO feel bad for him.An Absentee mother who is more interested in her next free ride than caring for her child,well I just don't have much respect for that.And Sophie is her "only child who hasnt disappointed me"..Give her time Lauri,I am sure you will find some fault somewhere.

Vicki-yes she is LOUD,and over the top,but honestly,she may have the most ungrateful kids I have ever seen.I notice they arent complaining about her nit picking and loudness when she is buying them new cars and shopping with them.and I think her and Donn are rock solid,its their nature to squabble.

Jeana- I am concerned about the puffy face too.I dont understand why Matt is <77>,he was lucky to get her at all!!

Tamra- She is growing on me.No it didnt look good her yelling at the kids,BUT..take into account editing,and she was doing very strenuous,very dangerous lifting.Sometimes we all mess up,especially when we are really under pressure.I think Simon seemed to be a little more passive? Did he lose his job perhaps with the Economy in such bad shape? Either he was totally mis-edited last season or something has humbled him.

Gretchen- Don't know yet.She doesnt seem like the ditzy type.And I really don't think she was after Jeff's money.I will never know,I will just have to watch more of her to figure her out.

ok thats just my take,lol..have a good day all!!

Vicki doesn't know how to relax. Never has and probably never will unless she has a heart attack or strokes out.

There's nothing wrong with being a type A personality. I'm one... I'm always on the run. But I don't combine that with the screeching sounds that she makes. The two things together make for one seriously grating personality.

I'm going to guess Gretchen leaves because of Jeff's health problems. :-(

I was thinking Gretchen, too, since Jeff had that "spell" at the motorcycle dealership.

The other thought is Lauri, because she doesn't even live where the other housewives do, and she has her hands full with her son's drug addiction.

Jeana and Vicki are the only ones that live in Coto.
Gretchen and Jeff were buying a house there, but didn't live in Coto when this season began.
Tamra lives in Dove Canyon which is just outside of Coto.
Where Lauri lives, San Juan Capistrano, isn't that far from Coto.

I'm guessing it's Lauri that leaves.


Every week, the Orange County Register does a story of these women and their show.
You can read it here:
OC Register

Some of the comments made each week are pretty telling. Rumor has it some of the Housewives themselves comment there (in cognito) in an effort to 'splain themselves. lol

Lauri is the Housewife that takes the most heat about her actions 'round here.

Can Vicki possibly use anymore eyeliner?
