Vicki is most definitely jealous of Gretchen being younger and let's just call a spade a spade........Gretchen is more attractive then Vicki.
Same with Tamra who should be so ashamed of trying to get Gretchen drunk via <el> her son.

I like Gretchen, too. I hope she does handle Tamra and makes her look shallow. If I never hear Vicki's voice FOREVER, it wouldn't be enough. I wish I could shake the memory of it out of my head. It's amazing her daughter seems to be doing so well considering the example set for her. I feel really bad for Donn, too. I almost didn't know that was "the Jo." I didn't think her new look was attractive at all! Blech.

<93> Did anyone catch her remark about Slade looks like a "homo"? Totally uncalled for, does she not know she is on camera or <93> care how mean she sounds? I also jump on the bandwagon as I would pick Gretchen as a friend anytime.

I think Vicki and Tamra are the type that only feel good about themselves if they can put others down. Unfortunately, it only makes THEM look worse!

I think Jo's haircut looked sort of Cleopatra-ish. Not a good look for Cleopatra and even more for her!

I am wondering if Brianna didn't get into the Army because of her weight. They have to be within a certain weight limit and a certain fitness level when they get in and she seems to be carrying extra weight (for the Armed Forces). It might be that they just told her she needed to get within a certain range before being able to join.

I think the whole Army thing with Brianna was just a passing thing because Colby dumped her. She was probably longing to get away from it all.

As for her weight, I don't think she was excessively overweight for the Army. I've seen much heavier people accepted.

She does look heavier on TV than she does in person.

"Real O.C." Guy Really Arrested
Posted Feb 20th 2009 5:15PM by TMZ Staff

Slade Smiley from "The Real Housewives of Orange County" -- yes, there are guys on that show -- was picked up by Costa Mesa PD today on a civil contempt warrant.

We're told Smiley was popped this afternoon and is currently being held on $10,000 bail.

It's unclear what the warrant is for ... there's a buzz it involves unpaid child support, but so far we haven't confirmed it.

I can't imagine joining the army but if I had a mother like Vicky, I would be tempted to do just about anything to get away from her. As for her son being the first to graduate from college, I would bet cold cash it was only an AA from a junior college - not that there's anything wrong with that - just saying that Vicky would want it to appear like more.

I don't see Jeanna as being attracted to Don so much as she gets tired of hearing the whine Vicky puts on as if her husband is terrible. And why is Vicky always hanging on other men like this Michael guy? She doesn't ever hang on her own man like that. Pathetic.

Whoever Don should meet next in life will be a definite upgrade from Vicky in multiple ways even if they have less money.

I believe the son graduated from the university of colorado. It's known as quite a party school

The last episode I saw (me, the Canadian) was the one with the Vegas trip. (And this is me commenting without reading past the end of your comments about this particular episode). It was pretty funny seeing Gretchen lead Vicki on about her "ignorance" of Blackjack.

I felt pretty bad for Lynne. It does seem like she's the quiet one, and quite out of her element. It was kind of nasty that the rest of the crew made fun of her behind her back.

I was not impressed with Jeana. One quality I really, REALLY, despise in people is when they insult you but in a supposedly joking manner. Jeana does this quite often, I noticed. She shoots out a nasty remark about someone, usually to their face, but she's "only kidding". And if the target is offended, then they somehow wind up being the "poor sport". Usually they will half-heartedly chuckle and move on. But it does leave a very bitter taste.

I don't like this at all about Jeana. It's just a way to get your dig in, and get away with it. It's mean, no matter how you look at it. The other women blatantly insult and criticise each other, while Jeana looks on, sipping her drink, saying nothing (but certainly not devoid of facial expressions). The women are called out for their nasty remarks, and Jeana looks like the one who took the high road by not participating.

...But...she later "kids" with her mean "observations", and that is such passive-aggressive behaviour. I have zero respect for that kind of thing.

About Gretchen: I am back to mixed feelings about her. Jeff is finally home from the hospital, where he spent a scary amount of time in serious sickness. YES, his children were home. YES, his children like Gretchen. YES, Gretchen probably had to meet the obligations of the show and go on the Vegas trip.

But...

I feel like she should have stayed home, IF she really loves him and cares for him as much as she claims, since he was at last home when he had clearly been very close to death. The change in him is so sad - he's skeletal compared to the last time we saw him. I'm single, never been married, yadda yadda, but I still think for this occasion, she should have stayed to help him get comfortably adjusted to his non-medical environment. Being a person with several serious health issues myself, I remember coming home from the hospital after a long stay as being a little scary; you see life has gone on without you, changes may have been made without your knowledge, and you have to adjust to being an invalid without the security of hospital personnel and equipment. I just think Gretchen should have stayed home.

*sigh* I know I have lots more to look forward to, though! (judging from the pages and spoiler boxes here). :-)

Well, yes, Jeff's kids were there to help him get settled and she was under obligation to the show but we didn't see how much time she spent in hospital with Jeff the rest of the time he was there. The Vegas trip was only an overnighter, right?

I would NEVER go on a show like this and open up my life to all the critiquing. I would NEVER leave my sick husband of 16 years and go partying. We're not Gretchen and we don't have her problems so we can sit back and comment on what we would and wouldn't do. I still don't understand why she did the show, to be honest.

If the info in the spoiler upthread (Feb. 18) is true, I think that is part of the reason why Gretchen did the show.

I was just watching some of this "confession" show. I wish I hadn't. I am literally sick! Now, I remember why I stopped previously. I know the host is really egging this stuff on, but Tamra is just over the top. Well, they all are.I'm done with the whole series, wherever it is. <93>

I only saw Tamra and Vicki make total fools of themselves. Mostly Tamra. If I could have reached through the screen and slapped her face off, I would have. I still believe Gretchen, and felt badly that Tamra was so relentless in her quest to embarass her.

It seemed like Tamra wanted Gretchen to just confess to whatever she was accused of. And, she would not stop! I agree, if I could have reached through, I would have slapped that supercilious look off her face! And, Jeannna stating this guy's clothes were on the bedroom floor she was just making it worse.
I hope there is something else to watch on Tuesdays. lol

Carlpsmom, ditto! I haven't been able to watch a complete episode since the horse racing outing. Tonight, I checked in to see just how nasty it was going to get and I couldn't watch for more than 30-45 seconds at a time. I was flipping between this and hockey when I realized I was watching the "Confessional" the way hockey players play - in short shifts...lol A minute on RHOC, 10 minutes on something else, a minute on RHOC, 10 minutes on something else.
Whew, what a pair Vicki and Tamra are. They definitely deserve each other. Jealousy does not become them. Each "shift" I watched I wondered who would really want to be their friends.
I may be poor, graying (when I run out of color...lol), overweight, and my wrinkles are getting wrinkles, but I'm 100% more secure than either V or T. Their actions are proof to me that money does not buy class. Or "etikwet" as T pronounced it.
My rant is over, and I'm over the RHOC. As Raquel would say, "peace out".

Bluejaxrock, I couldn't watch more than a few minutes either. I just gave up.
It sounds like we are twins. lol
Maybe I am too queasy or sensitive, but I feel like RHOC may have jumped the shark. JMHO of course.

I couldn't believe how nasty Tamra was to Gretchen, esp. after she made all those mea culpas about how poor her behavior was at that party when she tried to get Gretchen drunk. She and Vicki sat there acting all smug and sanctimonious. I'd much rather be friends with Gretchen any day than those two. I also think they make themselves feel better by putting others down. I just couldn't believe how nasty they acted. Uggh.

Yeah, it was pretty tough to watch Vicki and Tamra tonight. And Jeanna wasn't much better. She tried to play both sides, but it was pretty obvious she had been doing a bit of the V & T with them.

And say, what exactly IS a "Love Tank" anyway? That was just pure "yuck" to me. I don't think it's possible to fill a "love tank" if you aren't exactly spreading any love.
